Cui Buqu and Xiao Lu did not expect that there was a world of heaven and earth in this underground palace, and there was actually another layer below one floor.

In just a moment, an accident occurred suddenly. Cui Bu stepped on the air under his feet and fell from a high place. Finally, he leaned sideways and hit the ground heavily.

His whole body was surrounded by severe pain and his consciousness was not clear yet, he couldn't help but let out a low moan, guessing that his arm might have been broken.

But what hurts more than the arm is the back, and the injury involves old diseases. The cough begins to sound one after another, and the smell of fishy smell surges into the throat. I can't swallow it in time, and the blood is spit out like this.

The sound of gasping echoed in the darkness, not only his, but also Xiao Lu's.

Without even bothering to look at Xiao Lu, Cui Buqu could only lie quietly, waiting for the dizziness in front of him to pass away.

A long time later, he heard Xiao Lu say, "You are almost dead."

It was not a mockery or a curse, Xiao Lu's tone was very calm.

He could hear it from Cui Buqu’s breath.

When Cui Bugu was breathing, he was rapid and heavy, as if he was trying his best to inhale the air into his body, but he still couldn't stand it.

He guessed that Cui Bugu’s heart and lungs are now as if a ball of flame was burning, not only burning the internal organs, but also burning the few fates left by Cui Bugu.

This man had congenital deficiency and acquired disorder. He should have been a dead person, but he had to drag his sick body and wandered on the edge of life and death for a full thirty years, and borrowed thirty years of life from God.

But if you borrow money, you will have to pay. If you go against the will of heaven, you will inevitably suffer unbearable pain for ordinary people.

Xiao Lu knew that in the past thirty years Cui did not go, there was no day that he had not been in the pain. Even if he had a slightly better condition, he would not be able to spend a day quietly and peacefully like a real ordinary person.

What is Cui Buqu’s belief in persevering like this?

Xiao Lu was very confused.

If the other party does everything he does is just for others, how can he support it?

He always wanted to get an answer from Cui Buqu.

Because this person's situation is so similar to himself.

It seems that even the situations of the two of them are extremely similar at this moment.

"I know."

After a while, Cui Bugu responded softly.

If Xiao Lu hadn't had his extraordinary ear skills, he would probably not be able to hear clearly in this quiet cave.

After saying these three words, Cui Buqu coughed for a while.

Xiao Lu could almost simulate his back in his mind, almost coughing out his heart and lungs.

Cui Buqu’s life is like a swaying candlelight, because it is about to burn out, and occasionally it will be brighter than other candlelights, but it is an illusion of returning to the light.

Unless God blesses, miracles will occur.

But, how is that possible?

Cui Buqu even needs to use his whole body's strength to barely fight against the severe pain in his chest after exhaling every breath and maintain a clear consciousness.

In this endless darkness and crisis, he suddenly remembered someone.

The other party has a wealthy background and has always had everything from childhood to adulthood. It has the most dazzling appearance and the most ostentatious temperament.

From him, Cui Bulu realized the true meaning of living alone in the sun.

Whenever I get closer to him, it seems that I get closer to him and become more lively.

Even if the other person is not gentle and compassionate, he or she even goes against himself everywhere.

Because of this, Cui Buqu always needs to distract himself from dealing with the pits that the other party dug for him from time to time.

Although it is very annoying, it is also much more lively.

But he would never say these words to that person.

Otherwise, that person will probably be proud for the rest of his life and pick it up from time to time and say it.

To purify your ears, let it go.

It was unknown how long it took, but Cui Buqu felt that the pain seemed to be relieved.

He raised his elbows a little, and tried hard to find a fire note from his body and lit it.

The visible range was very low. Cui Buqu quickly discovered that there were dense cracks on the ground. At first glance, it looked like violent vibrations caused the ground to crack, but when you look closely, these cracks seemed to be coming alive, one by one, one by one, repeating again and again, and endlessly.

He calmed down and quickly withdrew his gaze and did not dare to look at it any more.

Given his current physical condition, he felt dizzy after just a few glances and could hardly even sit still.

"The ground should be a formation... Ahem, how much do you know about this underground palace?"

Cui Buqun didn't wait for Xiao Lu's answer.

Only then did he realize that the other party hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Xiao Lu?"

"Um……"

Not far away, the other party responded softly.

"Are you okay?" Cui Bugu frowned.

If something happened to Xiao Lu, it would be even more difficult for them to leave here.

"I'm poisoned."

Xiao Lu's sigh came, but it was so calm that it made people suspect that he was lying.

Cui Bulu paused: "How did you win?"

Xiao Lu: "When I came down just now, the wall was poisonous. If you don't believe it, you can come and see it."

Cui Bulu didn't say anything.

Xiao Lu laughed: "What? At this point, are you still worried that I will lie to you?"

Cui Buqu said lightly: "You know I'm going to die, and now all my remaining energy is used to talk to you."

Xiao Lu sighed again, and after a moment, he slowly got up and walked towards Cui Bu.

The distance between the two was not short, and he seemed to know that there was something strange on the ground, and he walked step by step very cautiously and slowly.

Suddenly, a sneer sounded on the ground.

Cui Bulu's firelight shone, but he saw sharp thorns suddenly rising on the ground under Xiao Lu's feet!

With Xiao Lu's martial arts, it was not a problem to dodge these traps, but when he jumped up, Cui Buqu clearly saw that his body was slow and stagnant, far less than before.

With a slight difference, the other party avoids the trap and avoids the fate of turning into bamboo sticks and skewers.

Xiao Lu came to Cui Bugu's side and sat down slowly. His breath was overwhelmed and seemed to be a hurry.

He stretched out his hand.

Under the fire, Cui Buqu clearly saw that the patches on the palm were red and purple, and some of them had even begun to turn black.

Cui Buqu was shocked, and immediately remembered that Xiao Lu had dragged him away from the stone tower just now, and then when the two of them fell down together, the other party seemed to use their palms to leverage the force on the stone wall.

"Why don't you expel poison?"

Xiao Lu sighed: "Because I have been infected with a deeper poison in my body."

He rolled up his other sleeve with his poisoned hand.

Under the sleeves, a piece of arm like a dead branch was exposed, shrinking and wrinkling, as thin as chopsticks.

Even though Cui Buqun had seen it, he still felt shocking.

This should not have been an arm born on humans, nor should it even be born on people like Xiao Lu.

But Xiao Lu didn't want him to see this.

He continued to pull his sleeves upwards.

Cui Bu went to see it, and when he moved up his upper arm, his arms gradually became fuller and returned to normal, his arms were radiating abnormal purple and black.

"This is?"

"This is the fetal poison I was born with. Over the years, my martial arts have suppressed its attacks. However, when I fought with Fengxiao last time, I was seriously injured and could not break through the bottleneck, but I almost got into a devil. You should also feel that my injuries have not healed, and my martial arts can only recover from 60% to 70% of the original ones. Now, I can't control it anymore."

The original poison would continue to spread, but now it has been infected with a new poison, so Xiao Lu almost couldn't avoid such a trap just now.

Cui Buqu: "What is the worst consequence?"

Xiao Lu smiled and said, "There is no worst consequence. There is only one way ahead of me, and that is death."

Cui Buqu said coldly: "You could have chosen not to cause trouble here and heal your wounds with peace of mind."

Xiao Lu: "It's too late. After I failed to retreat, I knew what situation I had. I couldn't break through my martial arts skills. In addition, I was deeply poisoned, so I didn't have the chance to go further. Both sides died. I could only strive to see that the arrangements over the years could be finally completed and fulfill my long-cherished wish before I died."

Cui Bugu sneered: "Your long-cherished wish is to harm others and not benefit yourself!"

Xiao Lu started coughing.

Perhaps because of the toxin attack, he did not answer Cui Bulu again, and instead closed his eyes and sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing.
