"The situation is urgent. I can't obey your orders now. We have companions calling for help in the dark, but you don't let me save! I don't understand your orders~~~
I heard it clearly, it was obviously Xia..."
"Do you have to take a look before you give up?",
Chen Zhi suddenly solidified an extremely strong wind and thunder spell in his hand. The airflow wrapped in the wind and thunder curse shone like lightning in the dark. The electric snake spit out light signals violently, illuminating everything around it.
A ball of brightness.
"Since you are so determined to give up, let's take a look! What is it...",
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he picked up the bubble and threw it hard into the darkness ahead.
For a moment, there was only a "bang~~" sound, and the airflow exploded.
In the darkness ahead, a bright light immediately appeared. The lightning of the Wind and Thunder Curse completely dispelled the darkness, and the black figure that had been calling them just now finally appeared.
That is indeed the figure of the old warrior Xia. It can be said that it is exactly the same, but it is a silhouette, an exact silhouette~~~
Under the light, the almost realistic silhouette revealed its true body. It was a very strange smoke. The fog was very thick, with blood inside. It was rolling around like a living thing, forming an extremely lifelike human shape.
, standing there like a man in the dark.
But the smoke was obviously afraid of light. Under the strong light of the Wind and Thunder Curse, it immediately dispersed, but the inside of the mist still made a buzzing sound, "Clan Chief~~, Clan Chief~~~
"
This scene was so weird that it was indescribable. Ji Ying was immediately stunned when she heard Chen Zhi whisper to her.
"This place is very weird, and many things are different from normal logic.
I estimate that this gas should be able to copy people's voices, but it can also confuse others~~
That voice should be that of Old Warrior Xia himself. He was probably injured at that time. If the injury was serious enough, he should be gone by now..."
Ji Ying listened to Chen Zhi's words silently, her eyes always looking at the bottomless darkness.
"Let's go!" Chen Zhi continued, his voice very soft.
"I know you're sad, but you can't think about it anymore.
I can confirm that they are all gone now. Don’t look at that place again, don’t have meaningless illusions, let’s keep walking!”
"But I'm not sure yet",
Ji Ying suddenly turned to look at Chen Zhi and said firmly:
"Even if we don't rescue them, we should stay here and wait for them for a while, and I can go take a look at those routes.
I can hide in the dark. I can do what those tengu can do. I can go in quietly and look for them~~
Maybe they have escaped, maybe they still have their last breath left, as long as we want to help..."
"It's impossible for them to escape~~",
Bai Ke said coldly beside him,
"Do you think you are the first humans to enter here?
No one can escape from the maze, not even the Xiqi warriors from thousands of years ago. They are all dead. If we stay here, we can only wait for those tengu to chase them out, and in the end we will be exhausted.
, and then die here!”
"But..." Ji Ying still wanted to say something, but Chen Zhi suddenly became furious.
"Walk!",
Chen Zhi ordered loudly, and his voice suddenly sounded like thunder.
"Are you still not a samurai of Xiqi?
Obey my orders, or I will execute you..."
Chen Zhi stopped explaining anything to Ji Ying and turned around to leave. Fat Wei immediately followed him, and they walked straight forward together.
But at this time, Ji Ying still didn't leave. Her expression became very strange at this time. She looked at Chen Zhi who was walking in front with a desolate look, and suddenly said,
"You go..., I..., stay!"
"What did you say?" Chen Zhi turned his head angrily, and air suddenly poured into his body.
But Ji Ying, still standing alone in the darkness, softly said these words,
"You go, I'll stay and I'll pick them up..."
"Do you know what you are talking about?",
Chen Zhi looked at Ji Ying angrily, then quickly took a few steps forward, opened his palm, and handed it to Ji Ying.
"Did you see it?
This is the answer you want~~",
In Chen Zhi's palm, there are sections of very weak small air currents, which are of the same vein as those carried by the warriors.
"Do you think I don't care about them?
Along the way, I kept looking at the air currents in my hands, but they gradually became lighter. Now all the air has almost dissipated, which proves that they are no longer there.
48 people, all gone!!!
This is a reality we don’t want to face!
But, this is reality!
Ji Ying, wake up and come with me!
There is still my main battlefield ahead, and our future is still uncertain. I don't want 48 of them to die meaninglessly. Please don't let me focus on this foregone conclusion.
Trust my judgment and come with me!"
"You have your judgment, but I also have mine!",
When Ji Ying said this, she suddenly knelt down on one knee, took out the clan plate from her chest with her trembling right hand, and handed it to Chen Zhi.
"Patriarch, my subordinates have an intuition that they are not dead yet, but if they give up now, they will really die. This will make me feel guilty for the rest of my life. It is better to die than suffer this kind of torture...
Please let me go, patriarch!
Let me save them. Even if I never come back, I will die without regrets. I don't want to fall into the hell of my soul for the rest of my life!"
When Ji Ying said this, she knelt on the ground, put her hands on the ground, hit the ground with her head, and kowtowed.
Xiqi is a place that respects ancient ethics. There are clear hierarchies in Xiqi King City. Because of the special status of warriors, there is no need to kneel down to salute the leader.
But this kowtow ceremony is the greatest courtesy a warrior can give to a leader. Even the leader would find it difficult to refuse a request made under this kowtow ceremony.
Chen Zhi suddenly felt helpless. This feeling made him unable to reject Ji Ying. He lowered his eyes and silently looked at Ji Ying who was kneeling on the ground. After looking at Ji Ying for a long time, he suddenly felt a sense of sadness.
my heart,
"Go ahead!" After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he reached out and took Ji Ying's clan plate.
"But Ji Ying, remember, I hope you can come back.
I would be so sad if you were no longer in this world!"
"yes!",
Ji Ying's forehead was pressed to the ground, her knees were on the ground motionless, and she sent them away. In the darkness, Chen Zhi couldn't see her face, but Chen Zhi knew that her face was full of tears.
Baike had been looking at Ji Ying silently. His expression was very stiff, like a stone sculpture, and he couldn't tell any emotions. However, he also looked at Ji Ying silently for a long time, and finally turned around and left.
Chen Zhi and the others continued to walk forward like this, no one looked back, because they knew that the battlefield ahead was coming soon...
