"Tick tock—"
Fang Chaozhou was awakened by the sound of water, he opened his eyes in a daze, and before he realized where he was, he heard a gloomy voice.
"Finally woke up."
He paused, trying to get up, but found that his whole body was in severe pain, as if something heavy had crushed him all over, especially his legs, which seemed to be unconscious, and he couldn't move at all.
He propped his body up on his elbows for a while, then fell back down again.
"Don't move, your muscles and bones are broken, you have to rest for a while." The gloomy voice sounded again, and when the voice stopped, there was another rustling sound.
Like something crawled over.
Fang Chaozhou looked for his reputation, and saw a vine crawling towards him. He remembered the demon cultivators who died tragically before, and couldn't help but use his hands to back up, but he was reprimanded after only climbing a bit.
"What are you climbing? If you climb for a moment longer, your body will be useless. I will just swallow it to save trouble."
Fang Chaozhou froze for a moment, at this time the vine had already crawled in front of him. Unlike the demon cultivator before the entanglement, the vine crawled to his side, did not engulf him, but stopped.
"Bite the skin and drink the juice."
That voice sounded again.
Fang Chaozhou looked at the soil-stained vines, couldn't help but pursed his lower lip, and said slowly, "Can I ask a few questions?"
"cannot."
Fang Chaozhou said: "...then you just kill me."
After a dead silence.
"Ask." This time, the voice became visibly impatient, and even the vines in front of Fang Chaozhou slapped the ground impatiently. With such a shot, more soil was stained on the vines, and Fang Chaozhou turned his head to the side without moving his expression.
"What is the juice in the vine for?" Fang Chaozhou asked the first question.
When Fang Chaozhou was asking questions, he kept carefully looking around. This place was a bit like a sealed cave, the light was very dim, and the only thing that shone was the celadon umbrella that fell with him.
The celadon umbrella was lying next to him at this moment, emitting a faint blue light, slightly illuminating the area where he was.
The place where the vines protruded was dark, and Fang Chaozhou couldn't see clearly, but he guessed that the thing that caught him should be there, and the sound of ticking water came from there. The other party captured him, not only did not kill him directly, but waited for him to wake up, it seems that he should be of some use to the other party.
"It can cure your broken muscles and bones. If you have any questions, please ask."
Fang Chaozhou looked at the vines on the ground, "Can I wash it before drinking it?"
The vines that were slapping the ground gave a sudden pause, and then there was anger in the voice, "You still dare to pick and choose, do you think you are here as a guest? Don't think that I..."
"Then you kill me." Fang Chaozhou lay flat silently, with his hands on his stomach, posing in an extremely peaceful posture.
"... wash it."
Hearing the words, Fang Chaozhou opened his eyes again, raised his head slightly, and looked at the dark place where the vines protruded, "How long has it been since I was caught by you?"
The anger in that voice was even heavier, "How do I know how many days? There is no sunlight here, and it is impossible to tell the time."
Hearing this, Fang Chaozhou looked above his head, "The underground demon realm has collapsed, can't you get out?"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Chaozhou heard a rustling sound instantly. He was shocked and turned his head to look, and saw more than a dozen vines stretching towards him at the same time. He was tied up without even having time to struggle. up.
"A young brat dares to laugh at me. Do you really think I won't kill you? The big deal is to wait a while after killing you. I've been waiting for so many years, and it's not too late."
Fang Chaozhou felt the vines tightening on his body, and quickly said: "I didn't laugh at you, I just... just thought it was weird, did you hear my laughter just now?"
The vines on his body stopped instantly.
Fang Chaozhou breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "I am a dying person, how can I have the face to laugh at you, you don't laugh at my low cultivation level, it is already very good."
"Your cultivation base is indeed low, but such a good aptitude is still just a golden core, trash."
The voice said unceremoniously, but at the same time those vines were retracted, leaving only the first one.
Fang Chaozhou accepted the word "trash" without any psychological burden. He looked at the vine left alone. For some reason, he has no spiritual power in his body now, and he can't cast any spells. Looking at the vines covered with mud, he could only take out his handkerchief and wipe it again and again.
When he concentrated on rubbing the vines, the voice sounded again.
"How long are you going to dawdle?"
"Hurry up, hurry up, after all, it's something to eat, so of course you have to wipe it carefully." Fang Chaozhou wiped the vine carefully while perfunctory the other party. After scrapping three handkerchiefs, he brought the vine to his lips with a troubled expression.
That thing shouldn't lie to him, right
Even if he didn't lie to him, can this thing really be eaten
"hurry up!"
The vine in Fang Chaozhou's hand twitched the back of his hand, and he quickly grabbed it even tighter, frowning and biting down on the vine.
"Wow-"
Fang Chaozhou almost vomited. He had never eaten such an unpalatable food. Once he bit it, the vine juice flowed into his mouth. It was ten times more bitter than bitter melon juice.
"If you're about to vomit, I'll let you lick it up on the ground."
Fang Chaozhou: "..."
So ruthless, he really is a guy who has been sealed for many years.
He silently swallowed back the unswallowed juice in his mouth, even though the corners of his eyes were red from the bitterness, he didn't dare to vomit, he could only resist the urge to vomit.
"Keep drinking," the voice ordered.
Fang Chaozhou's brows were already wrinkled, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only continue to drink something like bitter bile, and felt nauseated several times, but he forcibly endured it.
I don't know how long I drank it, but the vine in his hand suddenly took it back, "Enough."
Fang Chaozhou's entire throat and mouth are now bitter, but he found that his legs seem to be somewhat conscious, and he can move a little. He lay on the ground and moved his feet cautiously, but he could only move flat and could not lift up.
That voice hasn't sounded since the word "enough" was said. Fang Chaozhou guessed that the other party might wait for his body to recover before making other plans.
He had read in a book that there was a sorcery called seizing a house.
That thing might not be able to get out of here by itself, and needs the help of his body, but these are Fang Chaozhou's guesses. Fang Chaozhou stared at the top, and slowly took out something from the storage ring. The thing was cold to the touch, and he held it in his hand, and crushed it hard.
"Eldest brother, junior brother woke up and clamored to go back to the underground demon realm."
The eldest brother was standing at the bow of the boat, and when he heard this, he immediately turned around and entered the room where Xue Danrong was.
At this time, Xue Danrong's room was surrounded by more than a dozen people, and those people blocked the door tightly. The young man trapped in the room only wore his underwear, his long hair of crow feathers fell down his shoulders, his face was pale, and everything seemed to have lost its color, whether it was the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows or his lips, it seemed that the only color left was jet black pupil.
He supported the ground with the water-breaking sword, and he tore off the bandage wrapped around his hand and threw it on the ground. He tore it roughly, and some scabs that had just grown were torn apart abruptly, and his hand began to bleed again.
The blood flowed down the Duan Shui sword, but Xue Danrong didn't care, and said in an extremely cold voice, "Get out of the way!"
Seeing this, the senior brother hurried into the room, "Junior brother, you are still seriously injured, you should go back to the sect first..."
Before he finished speaking, there was an extra sword in front of his neck.
"Little brother!"
"Little brother, what are you doing?!"
"Junior Brother, quickly put down the sword!"
Everyone was startled, ready to rush up to stop Xue Danrong.
At this time, the senior brother raised his hand to stop the juniors behind him, "It's okay, the junior junior just woke up, and his mind is still a little unconscious."
Xue Danrong looked at the elder brother expressionlessly, "Let me go."
The senior brother was silent for a moment, and then said: "Little brother, your breath is completely disordered now, how can you let me, a senior brother, rest assured to let you go back? Master has sent me a letter that he will go to the underground demon realm."
"I want to go back, he is waiting for me." Xue Danrong said almost word by word, he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, and the jade pendant was shining brightly.
When everyone saw the mandarin duck jade pendant in Xue Danrong's hand, they couldn't help but fell silent. In the end, it was the elder brother who spoke first, "You are going to die now, the underground demon realm has already collapsed, and there may be a second collapse, besides, there are monsters nearby. Master has sent me a letter, He will go there in person, you should take good care of your wounds and wait for news at the sect."
"I can't wait." Xue Danrong's teeth trembled slightly, "I just want to bring him back. He is waiting for me. He was tied up because of me. I owe him this life."
When he was talking, the elder brother gave the juniors behind him a look, so these people rushed up together taking advantage of Xue Danrong's unpreparedness.
Xue Danrong was tied up with fairy ropes and put back on the bed. His eyes were red with anger, but he couldn't get rid of the ropes on his body.
The elder brother stood by the bed, he had never seen Xue Danrong like this before, Xue Danrong was cold and calm, as if nothing could catch his eyes, but he never thought that the other party would have such a paranoid scene.
"You can scold me if you want, hate me if you want, or you can kill me if you want to in the future, but if Second Junior Brother saves you, you definitely don't want to see you like this. In short, I don't want to see any of you get into trouble again."
The boy who was tied to the bed didn't say a word, but there was blood oozing from his tightly clenched teeth. The blood flowed from the corners of his lips, flowed over his snow-white chin, and rolled down the front of his clothes. The elder brother was taken aback, but before he could speak, he saw the other party spat out a mouthful of blood.
Bright red blood stained the skirt of the shirt.
The pair of phoenix eyes that were always cold became hollow at this moment.
He didn't know where to look in his eyes, as if he couldn't finish vomiting blood, one mouthful after another, the exclamation of everyone could no longer reach his ears, he just tightly grasped the jade pendant in his hand.
