"Thorn-"
Wei Fuyuan, Jiang Nan'an, and even Beiquan and Luo Yun who were still on the tree heard a clear cracking sound.
The blade ripped open the body of the giant earthworm like cutting through a tough and thick canvas, and continued to expand the incision as Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan'an descended.
The khaki-yellow mucus was like a fountain, surging out of the earthworm's wound, covering Wei Fuyuan's body with his head and covering his face, and also spreading to Jiang Nan'an further below.
Fortunately, Ran Qu didn't get too mad when designing monsters in the dream.
Although these liquids look disgusting, they are not as corrosive as the body fluids in "Alien".
However, the sticky and thick liquid flowed into Wei Fuyuan's hand, which still caused the knife in his hand to almost slip off.
Wei Fuyuan gritted his teeth and clenched the knife tightly.
Finally, after falling for a short distance, Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan'an finally stopped and hung on the giant earthworm with a knife as support.
The blade has already cut a huge gap one meter long in the belly of the earthworm.
More yellow mucus gurgled out of the worm.
The injured earthworm seemed to be in extreme pain, and its huge body rolled up and down, back and forth, erratically, hitting the giant tree one by one.
Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan'an were almost submerged by the body fluids of earthworms. As far as they could see, there were sticky, dirty and slippery liquids everywhere.
The two tried to grab the aerial roots of the big tree while the earthworms collided with the tree trunk several times, so as to transfer themselves back to the tree, but because the palms of their hands were full of sticky liquid, they couldn't grasp anything without leaving their hands, and they could not succeed at all.
Finally, after struggling frantically for half a minute, the earthworm seemed to have exhausted its strength, and its head suddenly flipped back, and at the same time, the tail that was wrapped around the tree body suddenly loosened.
It fell from the tree like a untied noose.
"Little Wei!!!"
Beiquan exclaimed in surprise.
Yes, Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan'an were still on that earthworm.
But even Beiquan had nothing to do at this time.
At this time, they were about four stories above the ground. Originally, with the motor nerves of Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan'an, if they fell from this height, there would be no way to survive.
But Tianyuan City is a dream world.
It always feels hopeless at some point, in a way that is completely unreasonable and illogical.
When Beiquan and Luo Yun lowered their heads, they were shocked to see that the "floor" they had just walked on had completely disappeared at some point, leaving only the darkness like a deep well with no end.
The huge earthworm led Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan'an into the bottomless abyss, and could not even hear the echo of the landing.
"Little Wei!!"
This is the first time that Beiquan has made a scream that is almost hoarse.
His voice collided with the arc-shaped high wall of the tower, causing echoes to resonate.
And Luo Yun, who witnessed all this, leaned against the root of the tree as if collapsed, covered his mouth with one hand, and almost sat down on his knees.
“… turned out to be… turned out to be…”
He murmured in a low voice, "They're all dead... they actually... all died..."
…
…
For a long time, Beiquan seemed to be petrified, just standing on a tree root, motionless.
From Luo Yun's point of view, he could only see Beiquan's side face, which was so pale that he couldn't see any blood, and his lips that were trembling slightly.
He opened his mouth several times to say something, but after seeing Beiquan's expression, he swallowed the words that slipped to his lips.
The only two surviving people stood there in silence for a long time.
"… let's go."
After a long time, Luo Yun heard Beiquan finally speak.
"We… then climb up."
He said, pressing against the giant tree with one hand, his fingertips deeply embedded in the rough and withered lines of the tree root, so hard that the back of his hand burst out the blue and white tendons.
Luo Yun blinked and asked timidly:
"You mean, we're... going to keep climbing?"
"right."
Beiquan took a deep breath, as if he wanted to suppress the surging pain in his heart, trying his best to maintain his composure.
But his trembling tail betrayed his true emotions.
"I... will never let him go!"
Beiquan gritted his teeth and said word by word, "I want to make the originator pay the debt with blood!"
Luo Yun seemed to be startled by the hatred and anger in Beiquan's words, and he couldn't help but wince.
"You, do you have a solution?"
He raised his hand and pointed timidly towards the top of the tower:
"I mean, to deal with that... that Tianyuan real person..."
"still has not now."
Beiquan turned his head and replied indifferently:
"However, I'll figure out a way."
&&& &&& &&&
Wei Fuyuan suddenly opened his eyes, rolled over from the bed and sat up.
"Oh, are you awake?"
Wei Fuyuan suddenly seemed to frighten a girl next to him, and the other party came over, "How do you feel?"
The girl was young, in her early twenties. She was dressed in a white coat and a white hat, obviously dressed as a nurse.
Wei Fuyuan jumped out of bed, looked around, and finally determined that he was in a certain ward of the hospital.
The ward happened to be a triple room, and he had a bunk in the middle, and the two beds on the left and right slept - one was Beiquan, and the other was Jiang Nan'an.
At this time, the young nurse had stepped forward and began to talk.
"You and your two friends fainted in the rental house just now. It was the neighbor who called 120 and sent you to us! We..."
Wei Fuyuan raised his hand to interrupt the nurse's unfinished words.
He rushed to Jiang Nan'an's bed with a single stride, grabbed his shoulder and shook it vigorously, "Little Jiang, get up! Get up for me!"
The little nurse was startled.
When the three were brought to their emergency department just now, the doctor had already checked them.
Whether it was rolling the eyelids or swiping the soles of the feet, the three of them didn't respond. Obviously, their vital signs were stable, but it was as if they had fallen asleep, and they couldn't wake up.
Originally, the doctor said to find a way to contact their relatives and friends, and when the family members came, they would do a CT scan of the brain to determine the cause of the three people's drowsiness.
However, before contacting the family members, one of them woke up on his own, and now he wants to wake the other up by such a crude physical method.
The little nurse took two steps to grab it. Just as she was about to say "you're useless like this", she saw Jiang Nan'an who was lying on the bed suddenly frown. The next second, he jumped up like a spring.
Little nurse: "!!!"
She opened her eyes wide, too shocked to say a word.
After Jiang Nanan woke up, like Wei Fuyuan, he took a moment to confirm where he was, and then squeezed himself as if he couldn't believe it.
"hiss!"
Feeling the pain in his thigh, Jiang Nan'an was sure that he was not dreaming.
He looked at Wei Fuyuan blankly: "What happened? This... How did we get out of 'there'?"
However, Wei Fuyuan simply ignored Jiang Nan'an's question.
He took out his mobile phone, used the shortcut key to make a call, and at the same time shuttled left and right, and quickly found the black suitcase in the corner of the ward.
- That is an important item that Beiquan never leaves his body.
While waiting for the call to be picked up, Wei Fuyuan had already opened Beiquan's box and found a red-covered post from it.
"… yes, it's me."
When the call was connected, he said to the man on the other end of the phone, "Yes, Beiquan asked me to inform you that 'he' is nearby!"
The other party seemed to reply with two sentences.
"it is good!"
Wei Fuyuan said, "I see!"
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and turned to look at the blank-faced nurse: "How long have we been sent in?"
The little nurse was stunned for a while, then looked at her watch subconsciously, "About... It's been an hour..."
Wei Fuyuan made a quick calculation in his heart.
They stayed in the ruins of "Tianyuan City" for four and fifteen minutes, which added up to exactly one hour. Together with the time to climb the tower, it was estimated that it took almost 120 minutes from the neighbor's notification to the ambulance taking them to the hospital.
In other words, the flow of time in dreams and reality is the same.
Thinking of this, Wei Fuyuan pinched the red-covered post and walked quickly to Beiquan's bedside.
At this moment, Beiquan was still lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, motionless, and his face was calm, as if he was sleeping soundly.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Wei Fuyuan lowered his head and quickly pecked Beiquan's lips, then leaned into his lover's ear and whispered, "You must help you catch 'him'!"
Afterwards, Wei Fuyuan stood up again and instructed Jiang Nan'an:
"Be optimistic about Beiquan, I'll go back when I go!"
After speaking, he strode towards the door of the ward.
"and many more!"
Jiang Nan'an hurried forward and grabbed Wei Fuyuan's arm, "Where are you going!?"
He pointed to Beiquan, who was still lying on the hospital bed, unconscious, "Also, why is Beiquan still awake? Does it matter?!"
"No time to explain!"
Wei Fuyuan was anxious.
This is a game Beiquan painstakingly arranged, and he must seize this rare opportunity to catch "that person".
So Wei Fuyuan shook off Jiang Nan'an's hand without hesitation.
"Don't worry, this is all Beiquan's plan!"
His figure disappeared outside the door, "As for you, just take care of Beiquan!"
Jiang Nan'an: "… "
He kept his hands stretched forward, his face dazed, and he had no idea what was going on.
At this time, the nurse who had been out of condition all the time seemed to wake up from a dream.
She rang the call bell.
Soon, a doctor on duty came quickly.
At the same time, he was accompanied by two uniformed police officers.
After a physical examination, it was confirmed that Jiang Nan'an was in good spirits and had no discomfort, and the doctor left Jiang Nan'an to the two police officers.
"We've come to ask you about the situation."
The older policeman asked:
"What do you three have to do with Ran Qu, who committed suicide?"
Jiang Nan'an: "??"
His eyes widened, his expression extremely shocked.
-What, Ran Qu committed suicide!
-I don't know at all! ! !
