Chapter 106: Underground Cracks, a Different World
Nanqi was in a daze, but he knew that something had happened to Heshu!
He opened his eyes and saw Beiji's cold and pale face. He looked around, his eyes full of disbelief and self-blame.
"Go, find her!" he said weakly.
Beiji heard Nanqi's voice and lowered his head. The glaring blood all over his body calmed his mind a little.
He turned around and walked away resolutely, his steps so fast that he almost exhausted all his internal energy.
"North, North and..."
Nanqi struggled, but his body was completely out of his control.
He wanted Beiji to find Shu He and bring her back, but he knew very well that between the missing Shu He and the seriously injured him, Beiji would never choose to abandon him.
For the first time, he hated his own lack of skills so much. Not only did he not help, but he also held Beiji back...
If anything happened to He Shu, how would he face his master and Xiao Yi'er? !
When Bei Ji returned to Biluo Courtyard covered in blood, the book in Baili Moqing's hand was crumpled into a ball by his slender hands.
Nanqi was seriously injured and Shuhe was missing!
In just half a day, such a big change happened.
No wonder Zhenli said earlier that something might have happened deep in Mangshan.
He thought that with Beiji and Nanqi around, nothing serious would happen.
Unexpectedly...
Xiao Yier stood at the door, as if she had heard something. Her big eyes were filled with fear, and crystal tears were swirling in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"Mother..."
She actually didn't know what had happened. She just saw Brother Bei, who had gone out with her mother, covered in blood, and her mother hadn't come back. She felt very uncomfortable and scared, and wanted to see her mother immediately.
Baili Moqing's heart sank when he saw this, and he waved towards Yier.
Yier moved over in small steps.
He held Yi'er in his arms, and after just a moment, he felt his clothes on his chest wet with tears. Her body, with a little warmth and trembling slightly, remained silent in his arms, which made him very distressed.
Beiji sent Nanqi to the military camp in the north of the city. The military doctor there was the best doctor in the entire Beisha City.
After reporting today's situation to Baili Moqing, he immediately returned to the depths of Mangshan.
He was going to find that person, even if he died, he would get her back!
At this time, Zhang Zhiyi also brought a large number of troops to the foot of Mangshan. The soldiers were fully armed and pushed forward towards Mangshan.
When Shu He regained consciousness, he felt aches all over his body, as if something heavy had crushed him. A damp, cold breath emanated from behind him.
It was pitch black and dark in front of her, and all around her was silent, as if she was the only one left in the world.
There was nothing in the air except coldness.
She looked up and saw a ray of light piercing the darkness. It was the glowing sky. However, her location was too small and too deep, so the light could not reach the bottom of the crack, so it was pitch black.
This was a deep pit, a crack in the ground caused by the giant's repeated stomping.
At that time, countless animals were running around in the forest, knocking her and Beiji apart.
She happened to be on the edge of the gap when the giant stamped his foot for the last time.
The vibration cracked the uppermost rock, and as she fell, she desperately tried to grab anything she could on the rock wall. But the rock wall was covered with moss and was too slippery, making it impossible to grab anything!
In the end, it was Baili Moqing's dagger that saved her.
If the dagger had not been stuck in the stone wall and slowed down her descent, she would have been shattered to pieces when she landed.
She searched nearby and saw a small, faintly fluorescent stone. She reached out and touched it, and it was indeed Baili Moqing's dagger.
The luminous stone was inlaid on the hilt. At first, she didn't know it was a luminous stone. It was only after she was assassinated by Shen Wu that Nan Qi mentioned it to her.
"Su Lanzhi?"
Sheathing the dagger, she tried to shout.
I remember that when she fell into the deep pit before, Su Lanzhi was behind her. I don’t know if she landed safely.
"hiss!"
She struggled to get up, but felt a sharp pain in her left leg!
Shu He knew clearly the feeling of flesh being torn apart. Her left leg must have been scratched by the protruding rocks on the cliff as she was about to fall.
She searched carefully in the darkness, trying to see if there was Su Lanzhi.
She called out a few more times, but unfortunately, there was silence all around, and no one responded to her.
She held onto the wall, picked a direction at random, and limped forward.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard water dripping from the top of the crack in the rock, making a crisp "ding-dong, ding-dong" sound.
"Puch-"
In the distance, there was a sudden sound of rippling water.
Shu He was nervous and quickly took out Baili Moqing's dagger.
"Puff, puff..."
The sound was approaching her, getting closer and closer.
She held her breath, raised the dagger in her hand, and waited for the "thing" in the dark to approach so that she could give it a fatal blow!
Suddenly, the sound disappeared, and behind the intermittent sound of dripping water, there was a sound of unhurried footsteps.
She looked closely and saw a shadow emerging from the darkness, swaying before her eyes.
She swung the dagger quickly, delivering a fatal blow to the shadow.
As a result, to her surprise, her hand was clamped by the figure.
"Sister He?" a voice sounded from the darkness, questioningly. "It's me, Lanzhi!"
Shu He breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the strength in his hands.
"Are you okay?" Shu He asked.
Su Lanzhi let go of her hand, her voice a little excited, "I'm fine! How are you? Are you hurt?"
Shu He sheathed the dagger and replied calmly, "It's okay."
"I'm glad you're okay. I wanted to catch you when you fell into this deep pit earlier, but unfortunately, I wasn't strong enough to help you."
"The first thing I did when I woke up was look for you. But I couldn't find you even after walking outside. I was worried, so I turned back, hoping I could find you on the other side. To my surprise, I actually found you!"
In the darkness, Su Lanzhi couldn't see Shu He's expression. Seeing her silence, he continued, "Go the direction I came from. Walk for another half an hour and you'll be out of this narrow slit. Over there, there's a whole other world."
"Really?" Shu He's tone was filled with surprise and joy. It would be great if he could get out of this darkness! "Let's go and take a look."
"it is good!"
Seeing Shu He finally speak, Su Lanzhi's mouth curled up.
Shu He injured her foot and was limping. When he noticed this, he immediately went forward and held her arm.
She wanted to refuse, but she heard him say, "The road ahead is not easy to walk on. There are puddles. Let Lanzhi hold you up."
Remembering the sound of water in front of him when he came, Shu He no longer refused.
As they walked, Su Lanzhi's voice sounded in their ears again, gentle, careful, and with the brightness unique to teenagers.
"Be careful, there's a puddle ahead. It's very deep. Walk slowly."
Shu He nodded.
She stepped down and the icy water reached her knees. The coldness directly hit her brain nerves, and she couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Why is this water so cold?" Shu He couldn't help but be surprised.
Su Lanzhi supported her and walked slowly forward. "I guess it's the water that seeped out of the rocks. It hasn't seen the sun for years and has accumulated in such a dark place over time, so it formed the cold water."
Shu He turned her head slightly and looked into the darkness. She could clearly see nothing, yet she felt like she saw something.
Is that timid, incompetent and cowardly young boy really as he appears to be?
Why does she feel that the person next to her is a person with extremely strong heart and very careful logic?
The icy cold water attacked his calves recklessly, and Shu He even felt that his injured left leg was not so painful anymore.
"You fell from such a height, and you're not hurt at all?"
In the darkness, beneath the sound of water, Shu He's voice was soft and calm, like a normal inquiry, but also seemed to have a specific meaning.
Su Lanzhi's face was slightly stunned, but fortunately the darkness hid his expression completely and no one else could see it.
There was a hint of naivety and relief in his voice. "Yeah, I don't know if it's because I'm just too lucky. I only got some scratches after falling from such a high place."
Shu He said nothing more, letting him lead her out of the cold water pit. They then walked in darkness for nearly half an hour. Finally, a ray of light pierced the darkness, shooting in from above.
Step out of the gap and the view becomes clear.
She truly felt what Su Lanzhi meant by "a different world"!
