Chapter 163 The Edge of Death

In less than five minutes, the zombie king insect swarm gradually retreated.

Tianzhen breathed a long sigh of relief. As soon as he relaxed, the nerves in his body immediately lost control and he collapsed on the ground.

"Have the bugs left?" Aning asked.

Tianzhen was lying on the ground, with his back pressed against Aning's delicate body. He didn't notice it for a moment and said feebly: "Let's go."

"You're holding me down." Aning pushed him.

When Tianzhen looked back, she realized that his back had been pressed against Aning's delicate body, and her face turned red.

Seeing that he had no strength left, Aning helped him out of the rock crevice. The two of them immediately lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

After resting in place for more than ten minutes, both of them felt their mouths were dry. Only then did they realize that they came out in a hurry and didn't even bring water!

Thirst began to torment them.

"We have to return to the camp quickly, otherwise we will die of thirst!" Aning said in an unquestionable tone, and then walked back the way he came.

Tianzhen quickly followed him.

Worried that the Corpse Dragon King was still nearby, the two walked cautiously, not daring to make any noise.

After walking for more than half an hour, they returned to the fork in the road they encountered before. The pile of Arab stones at the intersection was still there.

But the two of them couldn't understand what it meant. After hesitating for a while, they finally walked towards the passage on the left.

This walk lasted for more than half an hour, and the surrounding terrain seemed to be exactly the same. There was not much difference at all, but what was certain was that they had never walked this road before.

Half an hour later, they came to the next fork in the road. There were no more Arabian stone piles here, and the surrounding landscape was also unfamiliar. It was obviously a place they had never been to.

"We are lost..." Aning frowned.

"Then what should we do? How about we go back along the original road and wait for the little brother to rescue us." Tianzhen suggested.

At this time, Aning had no other choice but to nod in agreement, so the two of them walked back along the original road.

But they didn't expect that this walk would never return to the path they had taken before. The two of them walked continuously under the scorching sun for more than three hours. Their lips were cracked and their bodies were drenched with sweat, but they never stopped.

Find the original way.

They were completely lost in the Devil's City.

In ancient times, the Devil's City was a huge formation used to trap enemies. There was an intricate maze inside. As long as outsiders entered, they would be trapped in the Devil's City and go around in circles.

It was more than enough to trap thousands of people, let alone the two of them. From the moment they walked through the first fork in the road, they had already entered the trap set by the ancients hundreds of years ago.

By the time the two of them came to their senses, they were already lost in the Devil's City and could not get out based on their abilities.

During this period, Tianzhen made a lot of calculations and assumptions. Every time the two of them walked a certain distance, he would stop and leave a mark to calculate the distance.

As a result, they walked for more than ten kilometers, always going in circles in the Devil's City, and in the end they were so tired that they almost collapsed.

It was already evening, and the temperature dropped suddenly. Both of them were wearing only a thin piece of clothing. The temperature of their bodies dropped sharply, and they kept shivering. If they continued like this, they would die of thirst even if they didn't.

freeze to death.

Aning stopped, looked around and said: "We can't go any further. The temperature difference between day and night in Devil City is very big. It seems that we will have to spend the night here tonight. We must find a place to spend the night."

But the surrounding area was bare, not even a mountain, just some large rocks protruding from the ground.

The two had no choice but to pick up a lot of stones, pile them into a groove, and lie down in it and squeeze in for the night.

Because it was too cold, the two of them had to hug each other to keep each other warm. Tianzhen was still a little embarrassed, but Aning directly shrank into his arms, completely dispelling the embarrassment in his heart.

Even so, I was shivering from the cold, and coupled with the howling of wind, ghosts, and wolves echoing around me, it was impossible for the noisy person to fall asleep.

Coupled with the torment of thirst and hunger, it was as uncomfortable as it was. Even with the warm fragrance and soft jade in his arms, he naively didn't have the slightest idea. The two just held each other and chatted.

They discussed why they couldn't get out of the Devil's City. Aning felt that the Devil's City was actually a huge maze, and the reason why they couldn't get out was because they kept going in circles.

Tianzhen also thought this was the case, so he suggested waiting until dawn tomorrow to find a high cliff to climb up and take a look at the surrounding environment. Maybe he could walk out.

All I can say is that I was too optimistic.

Throughout the night, the two of them were in a state of half-asleep and half-awake. They finally made it to daybreak and recovered a lot of physical strength.

But at this time, the thirst became more and more serious. Both of them had cracked lips due to thirst, and there was a little saliva in their mouths.

Even so, they had to bite the bullet and continue to look for a way out. Following yesterday's idea, they found a relatively high rock mountain, climbed up and looked around.

However, the Devil's City is very vast. Standing on a rocky mountain tens of meters high, it is impossible to see the whole thing clearly, and a lot of energy is wasted.

Then they walked for several more hours, but they were still walking in circles in the Devil's City. At this time, hunger and thirst were nothing compared to it. The torture of extreme thirst was so painful!

They didn't even dare to cough or speak, because when they spoke, their throats hurt as if on fire, and coughing could kill half their lives.

At this time, the two of them had reached a desperate situation and could not move any further, so they had to find a rocky mountain and were stopped by the dark side.

At this time, he was so naive and desperate that he even gave up struggling, thinking about how long it would take before they would die of thirst.

Under normal circumstances, a person can go without drinking water for up to three days. If this time is exceeded, he will die from dehydration.

They have walked in the Devil's City for a day and a night, which means that they still have to endure this kind of torture for a day and a night. Thinking about it makes people feel suffocated.

In order to preserve her strength, Aning stayed where she was. She said that if she continued walking, she would only die faster.

Tianzhen had no choice but to follow her, praying silently in her heart that someone would find them before they died of thirst, otherwise they would become two mummies, and that would be a sad end.

In this extreme environment, Aning's mentality was much calmer than that of innocence. She obviously had not given up her desire to survive. She took off the string of precious copper coins in her hand, divided them into a dozen parts and spread them around, hoping to

This will attract the attention of search and rescue personnel.

This is their last hope.

Then the two of them leaned against the rock and passed out soon after.
