Underpass
I thought I was dead this time, but I didn't expect there would be a chance to open my eyes.
My whole body hurt as if someone had torn it apart, and my eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. However, I finally narrowed my eyes open, but I couldn't see my fingers.
In the darkness, a low groan of pain brought her back to consciousness.
"Nangong Ling."
Her hands groped and touched a piece of warm skin.
The next moment, her hand was wrapped in coldness, "Is everything you said true?"
The two of them seemed to have fallen from a very high place. Now their whole bodies hurt, and their internal organs seemed to have been displaced.
There was a "click", and the weak light from Huozhezi chilled the surrounding darkness. Feng Jiuqing blinked and shook away the sourness in the corners of her eyes.
Therefore, he could see clearly that the uncomfortable and pitted rocks under his feet turned out to be skeletons without skin and flesh.
Both of them had been in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Seeing this scene, their expressions were as usual.
The two of them used the faint light to take a look at their location, which was a long and deep corridor.
Feng Jiuqing didn't seem to hear what he said and frowned, "Where did we come in from?"
Could that pile of quicksand be the entrance?
Nangong Ling shook his head, his dark eyes shining in the firelight, "Is everything you said true?"
He must get an answer today.
"What's real or fake?"
She pretended to be stupid, but Nangong Ling was a little anxious. After he left Feng Mansion, he really planned to go back to Dayan, but then, he suddenly remembered what Tumen said.
He was worried that as soon as his front foot left, someone would take his place on the back foot and stand beside Feng Jiuqing.
So he turned back again, but he didn't expect that the person who happened to meet Feng Xu would attack Feng Jiuqing.
"You said you don't hate me anymore."
Feng Jiuqing didn't know why she said this to Nangong Ling at that critical moment. Now that he mentioned it, she didn't want to admit that she said those words.
But she had always done things openly and could not do such dishonest things, so she just pursed her lips tightly and thought she was deaf.
"I heard everything." Just because she didn't speak, it didn't mean that Nangong Ling could stop being excited.
The Huozhezi was too precious in this environment, so Feng Jiuqing covered the Huozhezi, and her eyes suddenly became dark. Her voice was low and a little hoarse, "So what if I heard it?"
She had been alone since she was born, and was not used to Nangong Ling's sudden closeness.
There is no hatred between them, but they are friends at best.
Her meaning was so obvious, how could Nangong Ling not understand it?
But it was much better than he imagined, at least Feng Jiuqing was willing to give him a chance to get closer.
"No matter what, let's think about how to get out now."
The place looked dark, but they didn't feel suffocated even after staying here for so long.
This means that either the space here is very large, or it leads to the outside.
Feng Jiuqing accidentally stepped on a skeleton and almost sprained her foot.
Nangong Ling relied on her memory to find a half-missed torch from the wall, lit it with a fire stick, and her vision instantly became clear.
They didn't know where this secluded path led, and there was no end in sight, but wherever they could see, there were white corpses everywhere.
Even though the two of them were brave, they couldn't help but feel that it was a bit too shocking.
The place where they were was neither the entrance nor the exit. Which way to go next became the biggest problem at the moment.
"Since this is our first time coming to this place, we don't know when we can get out, so it doesn't matter which way we go." Nangong Ling naturally held Feng Jiuqing's hand.
Before she looked over, he had already taken a few steps forward, "This place is very unfamiliar. Only by walking together can I feel at ease."
Feng Jiuqing pursed her lips. Of course she knew that there were only two of them in this damn place now. If she wanted to go out, she shouldn't stick to trivial matters.
So the two kicked the bones away from their feet and walked towards the darkness.
After walking for who knows how long, Feng Jiuqing suddenly stopped.
"Have you noticed?"
Nangong Ling looked back at her and nodded slightly, "We seem to have returned to the place where we first fell."
Because there was a piece of yellow sand that fell with them.
The two were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Now it seems that this place is a closed circle, and it is not that easy to get out.
Feng Jiuqing felt that the hair beside her ears was blowing slightly, it was the wind.
"Maybe the exit is blocked, let's look for it again."
The two of them walked along the same path again. The light of the torch in their hands had gradually weakened and was about to burn out.
If they don't find an exit, they may be trapped here.
But the two of them put their hands on the wall and returned to the same place, but still gained nothing.
They were a little exhausted. They looked at each other without saying a word, but their minds were racing over and over again, thinking of solutions.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Feng Jiuqing's mind, "Maybe it's not that there's nothing we can do."
She took the torch from Nangong Ling's hand and held it close to the ground. Soon, a faint green light rose from the ground.
After the phosphorus on the corpse was ignited, it floated away very lightly in the wind.
Because this road is connected from end to end, as long as they block it in the middle, the place where phosphorus fire will no longer fly is the exit.
The two of them understood each other's meaning without much communication.
Fortunately, this path was not particularly wide. Nangong Ling stood in it and even had to bend down. The two of them could only walk side by side, so they blocked it with skulls after a while.
The torches were swept close to the ground one by one, and the phosphorus fire flew up, illuminating the entire path with a faint green color, making the atmosphere even more eerie.
But the two of them walked forward expressionlessly, and the low-temperature flames passed by their ears, but they only needed to move their sleeves and ran away.
Soon, the phosphorus fire flew up very quickly, and as we moved forward, the green phosphorus fire only rose slowly, instead of floating in other directions.
So the exit is within this short distance.
"Look carefully again."
The torch in my hand is almost extinguished, this is the last hope.
Feng Jiuqing and Nangong Ling faced a wall each, not even sparing the soles of their feet.
"Click." Nangong Ling didn't know what he hit, but he only heard a slight sound. On the walls on both sides, two repeating crossbows suddenly appeared. Before Feng Jiuqing could see clearly, the crossbow arrows seemed to be filled with stars.
Coming towards them.
The sound of breaking through the air passed through her ears, and her entire body was protected by Nangong Ling.
While protecting Feng Xiye and retreating step by step, he picked up a yellowed bone and swung away the crossbow arrows.
The smell of blood filled Feng Jiuqing's breath.
