Ning Gu couldn't tell Lian Chuan's current condition, was he really dead, or fainted again, or was he planning some big move.

However, Ning Gu knew that Lian Chuan, the experimental subject, seemed to be the one that best met the requirements of the unconventional plan. He had superb physical qualities, and his speed, strength, and endurance were all astonishing. He also had super strong mental power and senses... but no abilities.

So the possibility of holding back a big move should be ruled out now.

Dead... is also unlikely.

Lian Chuan is such a decisive and cold-blooded hyena, it is possible for him to save people as long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, but risking his life to save people, a purely losing deal... I'm afraid it's unlikely.

That means I'm dizzy again.

We must rescue him before he dies!

He glanced at Fulu and the black ring beside him, wondering what their plans were in the face of this situation.

Black Ring said that he couldn't speak for fear of waking up the poet.

Now that I have gotten off the car, the golden light in the black fog is very similar to the one that appeared before the poet. Even if the poet is not awake, he is half awake now.

"Go and rob?" he asked in a low voice.

Fulu put his finger to his lips.

"Just watch?" Ning Gu pointed over there and shouted with his mouth.

A black ring jumped up and climbed onto the nearest spike, and the others followed suit and jumped onto the spikes tacitly.

Ning Gu looked up and noticed that the Jiuyi Black Ring Squad was actually not small, it could also be called a squadron or a battalion. Many black rings had silently climbed up the sharp vertebrae and the surrounding cave walls, like some non-human creatures, slowly approaching the cave entrance where Lian Chuan was hanging.

Fulu signaled Ning Gu to follow him and pass under the Black Ring team.

In dead silence, Ning Gu stood beside the cave entrance.

Several black rings hung upside down from above the cave entrance and gestured to Fulu.

Fulu nudged Ning Gu with his shoulder and raised his chin towards inside.

Ning Gu roughly guessed what he meant, which was to ask him to go over and take Lian Chuan down.

So what are these black rings for? To lead the way? To watch travelers rescue cleanup team hyenas

And how is he going to get Lianchuan down

He doesn't have spring legs either...

Fulu and Heijie were both looking at him, which made Ning Gu feel a little embarrassed.

However, by the time these losers could come up with a trick, Lian Chuan would probably be dead, so he decided to give it a try and use his ability which was even more capricious than Jiu Yi's.

bring it on!

He stared at the black mist wrapped in golden light surrounding Lian Chuan's body.

Stare intently.

stare.

"Go play with shit." Ning Gu squeezed out four words viciously from between his teeth.

A group of bats overhead turned their heads at the same time, and Fulu also turned to look at him in shock.

The black fog over there did not change, it still surrounded Lianchuan, and another beam of it passed through Lianchuan's body.

Lian Chuan was about to be stabbed to death.

Although he was unhappy, Ning Gu immediately gave up the attempt to use his ability and looked up.

The two bats hanging upside down above the cave entrance waved at him, and Ning Gu suddenly realized that they wanted to throw him over.

You should have said it earlier!

Where does the traveler get the confidence to have such a level of tacit understanding with a group of bats!

Ning Gu didn't have time to think about it. Fulu next to him had metal legs. He didn't know if they had springs, but he could get up with a little help...

He put his hands on Fulu's shoulders and jumped up suddenly. As Fulu bent his legs, he kicked and jumped into the air.

Fulu's calf creaked and bent into a right angle.

Fulu's legs are not springs...

When Ning Gu jumped to the highest point, two black rings grabbed his hands on the left and right, and exerted force at the same time, throwing him into the hole.

Ning Gu opened his arms. He thought a lot during the flight. This was where all the troubles in his mind came from. Thinking would waste a lot of time.

The flight time was too short and he had no idea how to save Lian Chuan.

When he flew in front of Lianchuan, he used the most brainless method.

He hugged Lian Chuan tightly.

He wanted to use his weight to pull Lianchuan from the air to the ground.

But not surprisingly, it did not succeed.

Ning Gu held Lian Chuan and hung in the air together.

But he tried it immediately and found that Lian Chuan was breathing, so he was indeed not dead.

When he hugged Lianchuan, dozens of black rings appeared behind him at the same time, like a bunch of rags blown by the wind, and all rushed into the cave in an instant.

Then a silver track flashed in the black fog.

It's a finger piercing.

It seems that the Black Ring is indeed the Nine Wings' personal guard, and the modifications are all the same.

The black fog in the cave seemed to have sensed an ambush and began to change. It began to gather and then split, and was wrapped in golden light that continuously swept through the cave.

When the black mist surrounding Lianchuan tried to pass through Lianchuan's body for the third time, a black ring flashed past from behind, and with a raised arm, the finger spikes cut the black mist in the middle.

"Lian Chuan!" Ning Gu was unable to exert any strength. He shouted Lian Chuan's name while clamping him with his legs. He felt his body up and down with his hands but could not find any device that could fix Lian Chuan in the air.

"Lian Chuan! Lian Gou!" Ning Gu hugged him tightly and pushed him down hard. Lian Chuan's body swayed with him but did not fall.

"Wake up!" Ning Gu slapped Lian Chuan on the face and pushed him down hard.

I felt like I was about to rub Lian Chuan's pants off, but I failed.

It seems that the poet has not woken up yet and has not seen the big golden face, but the black ring will not gain much advantage in fighting with the black and gold mist, and the dispersed black mist will immediately gather again.

Ning Gu gritted his teeth, used his fingers to pry open Lian Chuan's closed eyes, and glared at him: "Hey! Dog!"

In his peripheral vision, a black mist made a turn and flew from the side to his rear, but the black ring next to him did not notice it. Ning Gu hesitated for a fraction of a second, as short as a hair, on the question of whether he should let go and dodge.

The black mist passed through his back.

All the sounds around suddenly disappeared.

The black fog slowly dissipated.

It seemed that even the cave disappeared along with it.

Instead, there was an empty white space.

I can't feel the light, but it's dazzling wherever I look.

Ning Gu frowned and raised his hand to cover his eyes. He found that he had been standing on the ground without knowing when, and Lian Chuan had disappeared.

"Where are the people!" he shouted.

The voice was so dry as if it had been cut by a knife, and all the resonance and ending sounds except the syllables themselves seemed to be sucked away by the air.

This is Lianchuan’s memory.

Ning Gu could already tell it apart immediately in this state, after all, he was already an experienced hand.

He looked around and saw a huge column of water spinning silently in the white behind him.

Ning Gu had never seen so much water in his life, let alone water that could form a puddle after leaving the container.

And there is another person in the water.

It’s Lianchuan.

The answer is a no-brainer.

"Lian Chuan!" Ning Gu walked over and shouted dryly, trying to reach into the water column to pull him out.

As soon as his hand reached the water, he immediately felt a sharp pain, as if the spikes of two hundred black rings were piercing his hand at the same time, and then hammering on it more than eight thousand times.

As Ning Gu suddenly retracted his hand, he heard someone talking.

"The perfusion of four experimental subjects in group lc13 failed."

"Same reaction?"

"Same."

Ning Gu quickly turned around but saw no one.

"Can the spiritual power of the precursor be further reduced?"

"No, the pain value has reached the critical point."

This was the voice in Lian Chuan's memory. Ning Gu reacted and realized that because he had his eyes closed, he couldn't see the person either.

"Are there any more materials?"

"The last two groups have already been done today. The non-standard ones will also be done today and the data needs to be reported."

"Leave one group that is not regular, make another group, and deal with these."

"Lost Valley refuses to accept any more."

"It's not up to them."

"LC14 group, prepare materials."

When Ning Gu heard this, he felt a huge and real fear, as if he was facing pain that was clearly visible but inescapable.

He turned and looked at Lianchuan in the water column.

No matter if this was reality, memory, or hallucination... He gritted his teeth and quickly put his hand into the water column. The pain immediately went straight from his arm to his heart. Without a moment to prepare, he felt his heart suddenly shrink because of the pain.

Just when he was about to give up, his fingertips touched Lian Chuan's wrist.

Just as he was about to grab it, Lian Chuan's hand suddenly reached up and grabbed his hand.

Ning Gu immediately clenched his fist and pulled it out hard.

When Lianchuan was pulled out of the water column, with a huge thrust, both of them were pushed into the air.

Everything in front of my eyes was white.

It was impossible to tell up from down, left from right, and for a moment Ning Gu even didn't know whether he was upside down or head down.

All I knew was that I was holding Lian Chuan's hand tightly.

One reason was that he was afraid that Lian Chuan would be sucked back into the water column again, and another reason was that he really didn't want to endure that kind of pain with Lian Chuan again.

How could I be so unlucky to have such a connection with Lian Chuan, a man who was born to suffer...

As I could slowly see my surroundings clearly, the white in front of my eyes began to fade, and the black that I was used to seeing began to appear, followed by a dark red light.

The feeling of being disoriented also disappeared, and Ning Gu finally regained his sense of reality.

He was being dragged, his head rushing down to the depths of the vertical cave.

Judging from the shape, this is already the Nine Wings' nest.

Then he found that he was holding something in his hand. He squeezed it and found it was a hand.

But this hand was as hard as metal.

He quickly looked at his hand and found that the person flying down with his hand was actually Fulu!

"Why are you holding me!" Ning Gu yelled, "Let go!"

"You broke my leg!" Fulu was very angry. "How can I escape if I don't catch you? Should I jump out?"

Ning Gu saw Fulu's calf was bent at a right angle and didn't feel comfortable shaking his hand away.

But he reacted the next second: "Where's Lianchuan! Did I pull him out? I..."

"Here." Lian Chuan's voice came from the side.

Ning Gu turned his head and saw Lian Chuan, who was tied with a rope around his waist by Hei Jie and was running down with his head as big as his.

"I understand." Ning Gu breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes.

Returning to the Nine Wings' lair again and being tied to an iron stake, Ning Gu no longer felt the anger and resentment he had before.

In any case, without the Black Rings today, it would be unlikely for him to rescue Lian Chuan by himself, and he might even lose his life.

Lian Chuan was tied to the stake opposite him. His complexion and expression looked normal, as if nothing could be seen.

"Now that the person is out, let's talk about the terms." Jiuyi stood in front of him, his eyes bright, "It's agreed that Lianchuan will belong to me..."

"Don't fart." Ning Gu interrupted him impatiently.

"I didn't fart." Jiu Yi said.

"Why, do you use your brain to fart?" Ning Gu asked, "You can't fart without a brain?"

"I lost four black rings." Jiuyi looked at him.

"Lianchuan is mine," Ning Gu said, "If you don't keep your word, I won't give you the other half of the main city."

Lian Chuan didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the two people which sounded like a dream. His mind kept trying to recall what happened before, but it was a blank, nothing.

After throwing Ning Gu into the cave opposite, the only memory he had was the sharp spikes he saw when he fell straight to the bottom of the valley. The next memory jumped directly to just now, when Ning Gu's hand holding his was torn away by the black ring.

"Have you never thought about it?" Jiuyi turned and walked in front of Lianchuan, tilting his head and continuing to talk to Ning Gu, "Let's work together. I have the most powerful modified hyena bat, and you..."

Lian Chuan stood up, the ropes tied around his body snapped and broke all over the floor. He pushed Jiu Yi aside and said, "You change him."

Jiuyi was very shocked that the fine iron bat rope he had carefully made, which had been used to tie up countless people to death, seemed not even as good as a belt in front of Lianchuan.

He looked back at Ning Gu.

Ning Gu was not as shocked as he was. After seeing Lian Chuan stand up easily, he also kicked his legs to the ground easily and prepared to get up.

The rope left deep marks on his body and he sat back down.

"Who do you think you are?" Jiu Yi looked at him.

"Lian Chuan!" Ning Gu ignored him and turned to look at Lian Chuan, "Is this how you treat your savior?"

Lian Chuan walked up to him, grabbed the rope and pulled it, and the rope broke into several pieces with a snap.

"Kill them!" Jiuyi raised his arms.

Before Ning Gu could straighten his clothes, Lian Chuan had already grabbed his arm and rushed forward. Then, with the help of inertia, he jumped to the upper level. After avoiding the attack of two black rings, Lian Chuan threw Ning Gu into a hole.

"Ah." Ning Gu fell to the ground and felt a little pain. Normally, this kind of pain could be ignored by him, but now, this pain quickly reminded him of his previous feelings.

"Get up," Lian Chuan also jumped into the cave entrance. On the other side of the cave entrance was a small tunnel. As he walked towards the tunnel entrance, he kicked Ning Gu on the leg. "The Black Ring is very fast."

Ning Gu had no choice but to quickly get up and follow him through the tunnel.

This side of the tunnel was still like a maze. Perhaps because it was close to the Nine Wings' lair, there were almost no people. After passing through three tunnels and two cave halls, Ning Gu asked, "Where are we going?"

"I don't know." Lian Chuan replied.

"You don't know?" Ning Gu was stunned. "Can't you still draw maps?"

"You'll know only after you've walked it," said Lian Chuan.

"You're not afraid of walking into Misty Ridge and not being able to come back." Ning Gu said.

"I'm back." Lian Chuan said.

Ning Gu was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "The cave where you were hung is Misty Ridge? One of the entrances?"

Lian Chuan looked around and walked into a small cave.

"Is that so?" Ning Gu followed him in.

This cave is so small that at most three people can squeeze in, and they have to squat and cannot even stand up straight.

Lian Chuan sat on the ground, leaning against the wall: "What did you just see?"

"Is it in your mind?" Ning Gu also sat down and lowered his voice, "Don't you feel it?"

"It's a blank," Lian Chuan said, "You have to tell me all the details."

Ning Gu stared at him for a long time, then laughed: "You haven't thanked me yet."

Lian Chuan looked at him without saying anything and showing any expression.

"You're so boring," Ning Gu laughed for a while and then stopped laughing, leaning back, "All I saw was a white area, a big water column, and you were sleeping in it."

"It's a laboratory." Lian Chuan said.

"Well, then someone was talking, but I couldn't see anyone." Ning Gu said.

"What did you say?" Lian Chuan asked.

"You haven't thanked me yet." Ning Gu insisted.

"Thank you." Lian Chuan said.

"You are too realistic," Ning Gu sighed, "But I tell you this under certain conditions. You have to tell me what I heard means."

"Okay." Lian Chuan responded.

"They were probably doing an experiment. One person said that all four barrels in a certain group had failed to be filled," Ning Gu frowned as he recalled. "Another person asked if the reactions were the same. He said yes, and then asked them to continue with the next group. But from what he said, they used the raw materials from the non-standard plan, but they also said they wanted to keep one group for the non-standard plan..."

"Yeah." Lian Chuan responded.

"Then they said to throw the failed ones into Lost Valley," Ning Gu looked at him, "Lost Valley doesn't allow throwing them away, but it seems to be useless."

"I understand." Lian Chuan said.

Ning Gu continued to look at him, and after waiting for a long time, Lian Chuan didn't say anything.

"Hey," Ning Gu waved his hand in front of his eyes, "I still don't understand."

"There are other plans besides the rules. The source of raw materials is the ghost town. This plan is confidential," Lian Chuan said. "Some of them I can't remember clearly. I only have fragmentary memories..."

"Wait a minute?" Ning Gu came closer to him, "Where do the raw materials come from?"

"Ghost town," Lian Chuan looked at him, "natives and travelers."

Ning Gu half opened his mouth, and after a while he slowly backed away, pointing at him: "You'd better tell the truth. You saved me, and I saved you, so we are friends for life. You're using this kind of thing to stir up trouble. It's very..."

"The person who delivers the raw materials is usually the team leader or Li Xiang," Lian Chuan said.

"You're talking nonsense!" Ning Gu yelled, his eyes reddening, "I'm warning you! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll carry you back to that cave and give you to the poet!"
