A day ago, I would have been so frightened that I would have jumped up, but now that I was seriously injured and had been running away for so long, I was already exhausted and had no strength to react.

But no reaction means no reaction, and I am still scared. This is like walking out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den. This bad luck comes one after another. If his grandma can go back alive, I will also go to Wutai Mountain to burn more

Two pillars of incense, praying for peace or something.

Xiao Ai and I didn't have any self-defense weapons at the moment, and we didn't know what kind of monster was behind us. We might as well fight to the death again! So without saying anything, I grabbed the furry claw and threw it over my shoulder, but

I was already exhausted, but I still had the strength! So I shouted: "Xiao Ai, help!"

Xiao Ai still stood there blankly, neither helping nor running away.

"What's your situation? Are you waiting for me to die?" I asked Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai burst into laughter and said, "You don't even look at what's behind. If it's really going to kill you, how can you still have the strength to call me out?"

I turned my head and saw that I was just a fluffy rope, and I didn't know where it was tied at the back: "No wonder I can't pull it alive. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

"I just saw something falling from the top, and I took two steps back involuntarily. It turned out to be just a fur rope. It looked like a leopard skin. I just don't know what was connected to it. Let's take a break first and we'll be there soon.

Take a look." Xiao Ai said.

I agreed without any objection. No one needs rest more than me now. If there is a little more water and food, I will be extremely grateful to God.

"Xiao Ai, they said you would die if you betrayed me. Is it true?" I asked Xiao Ai.

"Yes." Xiao Ai stopped smiling and looked sad.

"Are you poisoned?" I asked, "Do they have the antidote?"

"No, that's something from martial arts novels. We are cursed, a terrible curse. Unless he lifts it for us, it won't take long for me to change until I die." Xiao Ai said with a bitter smile.

.

"It feels like something to deceive children. What will happen?" I said.

"I don't know. The only thing that is certain is that he will die after suffering tremendous torture."

"I'm sorry, I hurt you."

"It's nothing. I still can't be as ruthless as them and don't value my own life. You forgot, it was me who made you become like this." Xiao Ai said apologetically.

"At least I'm still alive and won't die." I comforted Xiao Ai.

"Don't be too optimistic. It's hard to get rid of people who are following us now. Even if we escape here today, we will inevitably be assassinated in the future. Organizations are everywhere."

"What kind of organization are you? Why didn't I know anything about it before?" I asked.

"I told you before, on the surface, it is just a large foreign trade company, engaged in import and export trade. I don't even know the meaning of our existence. We just follow the arrangements from above to carry out each task. We cannot be discovered.

Once discovered, either commit suicide or silence anyone who saw it."

"Who is that Bala? He looks like he has a lot of background." I think this name is funny.

"Bala is the main person in charge of this operation and the leader of the organization in China. As far as I know, there are three other people who are equal to him." Xiao Ai answered.

"Oh, it seems that this time, the task is very heavy. I actually can't figure out what they want to do to catch the lake monster."

"Don't you know? He once said that you are the key to this mission. Once you lure out the lake monster, we will try to avoid contact with you. As a result, you have been communicating for a while. I thought you would know."

Ai said.

I won't ask Xiao Ai anything anymore. Maybe their leader is a hunting expert who likes to collect these monsters. Or maybe he wants the dragon balls. If he collects nine of them, he can really make a wish or something. No, normally they shouldn't

You know that the lake monster is Chi Kiss, but what if you know...

This should be a very huge conspiracy, bottomless, and even involving ancient mythical beasts. Looking at Xiao Ai's confused eyes, I understood that she had no idea what she was doing.

Maybe I will be punished by God, but if I can escape this disaster, I will go back to find the truth. I want to know what role I play in this conspiracy and what role my father is.

"By the way, he once said that once your mission begins, your destiny will follow the arranged route, and no one can stop it." Xiao Ai suddenly remembered.

"I still don't know what my mission is. You told me from the beginning to the end." I said helplessly.

"If it is true, then you will definitely not die. Let's walk along this rope."

Xiao Ai stood up. It was obviously a bit difficult, but after all, the injury was much lighter. I can hardly stand up now.

"Let me help you. No one is chasing us here. You can walk slowly. I think you are almost exhausted." After saying that, Xiao Ai took my arm and hit her on the shoulder. I almost forgot.

, her seemingly weak body just carried me for a certain distance, and then dragged me for so long, and now she wants to help me, I really feel guilty.

"Xiao Ai, can you tell me why you are so nice to me now?" I asked doubtfully.

"Because you are the first person willing to die for me?" Xiao Ai said.

I was stunned for a moment. Will I die for you? When did it happen? Why didn’t I know?

Xiao Ai didn't pay attention to my expression and continued: "Did you know? If it weren't for you, I would have been arranged to die under the knife of the Tuva guardian. It was the knife you threw at me that saved me.

In fact, I was also very angry at the time, why did you want to kill me, but later your explanation made me suddenly understand, yes, you saved me."

"Your organization is really terrifying. You kill your own people...and all this is just to show off to a stranger." I was almost speechless.

"Yes, I have lived in a place like this for twenty-four years." There was a bit of bitterness in Xiao Ai's words.

"After we go out, I will take you to have some fun. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. No matter how awesome the organizer is, we can't run into each other wherever we go." I comforted Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai nodded silently and said, "Let's go!"

I used the strength on Xiao Ai's shoulder to prop up my body. I could clearly feel Xiao Ai's body trembling. It seemed that her injury was not too minor.

In this way, we supported each other and walked along the rope. The rope was unexpectedly long. After walking for three to four hundred meters, we still didn't see the end, but my physical strength seemed to be running out again. It started to feel a little difficult to breathe.

I seemed to smell the body fragrance of Xiao Ai as I sipped the legend, but I had no time to think about those boring things. My eyes were black and my ears were ringing.

Xiao Ai seemed to feel my discomfort, because the more dazed I was, the greater the load on her body, but she had no choice but to hold on.

"Look ahead, we're at the end." Xiao Ai shouted excitedly.

These inspiring words made me regain my confidence. Although my eyes were dazzled and my energy was still exhausted, I gritted my teeth and walked forward with all my strength. After only a few meters, Xiao Ai let go of me, and I fell to the ground.

Like a dead pig, it refuses any reaction.

For about half an hour, it was quiet, no one spoke, the surroundings were dark, and the light stole from nowhere, I could vaguely see an outline, a door, a stone door without a handle.

"Can we push away?" I asked Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai shook her head in despair.

Yes, we are all exhausted. We can't push such a stone door no matter what. Now that we don't have food and water, we no longer have the energy to go back. Even if we surrender, we can't do it.

I laughed loudly: "Forget it, in just a few days, I experienced several reincarnations of life and death. Every time I felt that I was going to have to do it, but I still survived. But this time I didn't die, but I still survived.

The hope of survival is slim, isn’t it?”

"Maybe." Xiao Ai was unable to even speak now.

"Do you know what this four to five hundred meter long rope is for?" I asked.

"I don't know. I've only been here a few times before and never walked deeper. If we had followed the road just now, maybe we wouldn't be like this." Xiao Ai began to blame herself.

"You are wrong, Xiao Ai. If we go along the road, we will either die or be caught by someone from your organization." I said firmly.

"Why?" Xiao Ai asked.

"You are so smart but you are confused for a while. Such a secret cave was built by such a secret organization. Who do you think has the ability to open another secret passage here? I guess this is either the wrong road or the wrong one.

The intersection a long time ago was blocked for unknown reasons. There were even people who came before us. Your people blocked the door and told him the same words as I told him before, but they failed in the end.

Already." I talked eloquently.

"Maybe you are right, but how do you explain this road? What is the rope used for?"

"You just said you saw the rope falling from above, which means it was originally draped on top. Why was it draped on top? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Is it possible that the exit is above?"

"This is a closed cave. Why is there always a faint light that allows us to see the outline of something? And the air here is not turbid. There are various signs that there must be a vent here. If I guessed correctly, this

The vent is right above this stone door." Actually, I didn't have any confidence when I said this. I was sure that the vent existed, but I wasn't sure if it was right here.

Xiao Ai heard my affirmation and gradually found confidence, saying: "Let's take a good rest and figure out a way to climb up later."

I said: "Don't worry, it's best to wait until the light is better and observe carefully before talking."

That being said, how can the light here be better? By the way, I thought of the dragon ball in Chi Qiu's mouth. Although it has a faint light, it can at least illuminate a large area.

So I took out the small bead and could faintly see the place where the rope was once fixed at the top of the cave. I was a little hesitant. Even if the vent was on top, there was no need for four or five hundred meters of rope! Why?

Xiao Ai looked surprised and asked: "What are you holding in your hand that is so small and still glows?"

"Oh, this is an heirloom of our family. We always carry it with us." I'm not going to tell Xiao Ai the truth yet. After all, it's a bit unbelievable. Let's talk about it later. "I'm wondering why this rope is so long and it can be set up here directly.

Wouldn’t one stick be enough?”

"I think I know the reason." Xiao Ai's expression seemed a little stiff. "Listen."
