Chapter 5 Everyone’s attention

Outside the window, rainwater continuously flows down from the eaves, as if it wants to wash away all the filth and sin in the world. There is an icy chill everywhere.

The thick blood mixed with the rainwater almost made Shen Yuexi vomit.

She held her breath, not even daring to take a breath. She shrank her body in front of Xiao Zhuo and trembled. She kept telling herself in her heart: Calm down, calm down quickly.

Since those who come here want to kill everyone in the ruined temple, they will definitely not just shoot a few rounds of arrows and then finish the job hastily. They will come in and check one by one, and stab anyone they see alive.

Judging from the number of arrows shot in, there may be hundreds of people outside the temple. Once they rush in with swords, Xiao Zhuo's three heads and six arms will be of no use.

She didn't want to die, she had just traveled through time.

But if you want to escape now, you can only brave the rain of arrows and rush forward. The best situation is that God has mercy on you and you can escape unscathed...

But no matter how you think about it, it seems that being shot beyond recognition is the orthodox ending.

She looked at Xiao Zhuo.

The latter met her gaze and pointed to the shackles on his feet.

Shen Yuexi immediately understood what he meant. Xiao Zhuo asked her to find the key to the shackles.

His hands and feet were tied with heavy handcuffs and shackles. If he moved, the chains would make a sound. It would definitely alert those people outside. Now he could only count on her.

These obstructions must be removed as soon as possible.

She looked up and looked around.

There was no one standing in the back hall, and the ground was full of groaning dead and injured people, including exiles and government officials. The government official who held the key was not among them, and he was probably dead in the front hall.

If she ventured to the front hall to look for the key, she would have to pass by the fire and have nowhere to hide.

He almost told the archers outside clearly that there was still a living person here.

But without the key, Xiao Zhuo could not lead her out of the siege. Seeing more and more people dying, she gritted her teeth, lay on the ground, hid her body in the shadows and crawled towards the front hall.

After climbing a few steps, Shen Yuexi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

I was so panicked just now that I didn't expect that there was a universal manufacturing machine.

Ancient shackles were all made of iron, and so were the keys. Aren't the arrows and knives all over the ground made of ready-made materials? The big bear must be able to make the keys.

She hurriedly contacted the universal manufacturing machine with her consciousness: "Big Bear, quickly make me a key to unlock the handcuffs and shackles."

"Dear Master, we are collecting the raw materials required for the shackle keys... The progress is 100%, and the raw materials are collected."

For the first time, Shen Yuexi felt that Big Bear's voice sounded so beautiful.

"The shackle keys are being made, finished!"

In an instant, a heavy, cold iron key appeared in Shen Yuexi's hand.

She was so happy that she quickly crawled back to Xiao Zhuo, inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it. She heard a soft "click" and the shackles were unlocked.

Xiao Zhuo's eyes showed surprise and he raised his hands.

After the handcuffs and shackles were removed, Xiao Zhuo immediately took her hand and moved it close to the bottom of the window to a nearby gap. The firelight there was not visible and it was pitch black.

After turning around the gap, darkness returned to Shen Yuexi's eyes.

Although she couldn't see her surroundings clearly, the sound of horse hooves was lingering not far in front of her and Xiao Zhuo, which scared her so much that she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Not far ahead, a black figure riding a tall horse seemed to suddenly appear out of the darkness, appearing right in front of her.

Xiao Zhuo broke away from her hand and suddenly stood up and stepped forward. He grabbed the black shadow and pulled him off the horse. At the same time, he pulled out the knife hanging on the side of the saddle. He picked up the knife and dropped it. Shen Yuexi heard the black shadow let out a muffled groan and stopped. Move again.

Pull people, seize the sword, and kill, all in one go, without any sloppiness.

Shen Yuexi had long known that Xiao Zhuo was very powerful, but seeing it with her own eyes still left her speechless.

It was indeed a good idea to choose to save him. With such a capable helper, their chances of escaping were greatly increased.

Still surprised, Xiao Zhuo had already put the black figure on the ground, stretched out his hand to pull her, held her waist with both hands, and put her directly on the horse's back. Then Xiao Zhuo also got on the horse and grabbed the reins.

Before he could move his mount, a man's voice came from the darkness: "Lord Commander, all positions are guarded. Please give me your instructions."

"Okay, light the torch." A cold voice sounded.

The next moment, Shen Yuexi saw the surrounding darkness suddenly light up with flames with a "whooshing" sound.

In an instant, the lights were brightly lit, illuminating the surrounding area of ​​the ruined temple as if it were daytime.

Oops.

Her eyes widened and her teeth chattered as she looked around at dozens of men in black riding handsome horses, holding torches and strong bows and quivers hung on their saddles.

Everyone was riding alone, but she and Xiao Zhuo were riding alone, which looked particularly unusual... Everyone was looking at them.

All attention.

"drive!"

Xiao Zhuo galloped past the man in black who had not yet reacted. The horse's hooves trampled the ground and splashed water.

Perhaps because they didn't expect someone to escape, the people in black were stunned for a moment.

By the time they reacted, Xiao Zhuo had already galloped ten meters away. Not far ahead was a dark jungle, with raindrops pattering on the leaves.

"Why are you so stunned? Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!" An angry voice sounded from behind.

The cold rain hit Shen Yuexi's face, which was red due to high fever, sobering up her groggy mind.

In front of me is the dark jungle getting closer and closer.

If she had been in normal times, given two more courage, she wouldn't have dared to rush into such a gloomy place on such a rainy night when she couldn't see her fingers.

Just being scared would scare you to death.

But now she was eager to escape immediately.

Behind the two of them, the sound of whizzing arrows piercing the air sounded.

The horse under the seat let out a painful neigh, and suddenly the man stood up, knocking the two of them off, and then fell to the ground.

There are several feather arrows stuck in the horse's butt and legs.

Shen Yuexi was dizzy from the fall. As soon as she got up, Xiao Zhuo had already held her hand and pulled her with all her strength to rush into the nearby jungle.

The sounds of "Du" and "Du" sounded one after another around her and Xiao Zhuo, which were caused by arrows hitting the tree trunks in the jungle.

Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she wanted to warn Xiao Zhuo to be careful. As soon as she raised her head, she felt a chill flying over her scalp, scaring her so much that she almost screamed.

Wouldn't he be able to chop off his scalp with one arrow?

If there was a hairless groove on the head...it would be terrible.

As she ran, she raised her hand to touch the top of her head. Fortunately, her hair was all there, and she was neither bald nor injured.

You have to turn around and curse to relieve your hatred.

Shen Yuexi looked back and found that there were dense fires behind her, and those guys were actually chasing her.

She immediately turned her head, it was more important to run away desperately.

While running, the leaves of an unknown plant scratched her face, and the sleeves of her clothes seemed to be torn by branches, but she had no time to think about that now. There was only one thought in her mind: run quickly.

"Dear Master, the raw materials for the antipyretic medicine have been collected. Do you want to continue making them?"

The milky voice of Big Bear suddenly sounded in her mind, and Shen Yuexi almost fell down. Fortunately, Xiao Zhuo pulled her up in time.

When people are highly nervous, they will be frightened to death by sudden sounds.

She quickly replied: "Yes, yes!"

She really needed fever-reducing medicine. She already had a high fever and was running for her life in the rain. Without medicine, even if she escaped the pursuit behind her, she probably wouldn't be able to survive.

"The antipyretic medicine is being made, finished!"
