There was a huge sound echoing in the darkness, it was the torrent crashing against the rocks.
"Aha!"
Li Ran took a deep breath.
He immediately began to paddle his legs rhythmically and used his arms to maintain balance to prevent his head from sinking below the water's surface.
After taking a few sips of water, he looked straight up.
There are just thick rock formations there.
This was a wide underground river, and the feeling of falling told him that he was still being carried by the underground river, constantly going deep underground.
As the water flow became more and more turbulent, Li Ran was able to surface for breath less and less often.
If he didn't have super energy, he would have drowned in the water and died of hypothermia and suffocation.
Despite this, the cold river water, the severely injured body, the days of sleepless nights, intense thinking and fighting, still overdrawn Li Ran's spirit.
He gradually closed his eyes and passed out.
...
Selina flew eagerly in the tunnel filled with underground water.
"That stupid guy is doing this again..."
Her mind went blank as she just chased the water.
However, she still couldn't keep up with the speed of the river pouring down.
What's more, in this corridor, there are hard rocks growing on the rock walls everywhere, like spikes.
This greatly interfered with her flight. At high speeds, even the black dragon's powerful body would be cut by these rocks.
After all, the black dragon is magically immune, not physical immune.
Selina became anxious.
In such an extreme environment, if Li Ran cannot be found quickly, he will surely die!
Selina gave a low shout and suddenly increased her speed.
In order to avoid sharp rocks, her wings and torso flapped against the water from time to time, and sometimes she would even rush head-on into the waves and then rush out from under the water.
If she had no time to avoid the sharp rocks, she would break them with her teeth.
Selina knew very well what would happen to her if the tunnel ahead was too narrow to allow the dragon to pass, or if a sharp rock suddenly appeared blocking the front.
But at this moment, she only had one thought.
Fly down!
...
No matter how severe the pain was, it could not wake Li Ran up.
After hitting several rocks in succession, his health and energy levels both showed bright red warning signs.
Cold... so cold...
When he was about to die, some fragments of the scene flashed before his eyes.
Zombie army...skeleton army...
Weird fish eyes...a man with a face full of wriggling tentacles...
Drifting black ash...despair and powerlessness...
Clang... Clang... the sound of a mining pick hitting the ore... when will it end...
Broken chains... the sound of magic bombs...
Bones.
Blood.
Broken wings.
The dagger stabbed by his companion behind him.
tear.
Why......
Salina…
...
A familiar long roar pierced into the depths of Li Ran's soul from far to near.
Refreshing softness and warmth caress your face.
The endless turmoil gradually turned into tranquility.
Li Ran woke up.
He was lying on a patch of hot sand, and a man was standing not far away.
Li Ran struggled to stand up.
The person next to him heard the noise and turned around, Li Ran saw her perfect profile.
It was a woman with a graceful figure, her eyes shining with golden light, and she seemed a little at a loss when she saw Li Ran wake up.
Her skin is fair and translucent, and she wears an exquisite black light armor that covers important parts like scales.
What impressed Li Ran the most were the two curved sharp horns on her head and a long black tail, which were elegant and powerful.
Did she save me?
Li Ran calmed down and asked, "Who are you?"
The woman frowned and looked thoughtful.
"You don't..." Her pretty face showed anxiety.
"I..." Her moving eyes were full of hesitation.
"I am..." She seemed to want to say something urgently, but then swallowed it back.
Li Ran has never seen such a strange guy.
Finally, she made up her mind, looked at Li Ran calmly, and spoke softly.
"I am a wandering succubus, my name is...Lise."
Li Ran immediately touched his waist, only to find that his sword was lost in the torrent.
A demon.
Succubi are masters of infiltration, disguise, and assassination. When they appear in front of humans, they often have ulterior motives.
"Don't be in a hurry to draw your sword," Liz waved her hand hurriedly and said, "Not all demons have joined the Starbreakers, I am just a peace-loving wandering succubus."
"?"
Li Ran looked surprised.
"If I wanted to harm you, I could do it while you were unconscious, right?"
Looking at the succubus' innocent eyes, Li Ran expressed serious doubts.
First of all, he had never heard that there were factions in the demon race that had not joined the Starbreaker forces.
Secondly, her stunning beauty really makes it impossible to believe that this is just an ordinary succubus.
Li Ran made a judgment.
She is lying!
Li Ran thought he knew her identity——
She is at least a leader-level character among the succubi!
Such roles are often extremely dangerous, so Li Ran decided to stand still.
Seeing that Li Ran didn't speak, she probably believed him, and Liz showed a proud look.
There was a hint of curvature at the corner of her mouth.
"I saw you floating down the river from the upper reaches of the river, so I fished you ashore." She leaned towards Li Ran, "Who are you and where do you come from?"
"I came from the ground, do you know how to get back?"
Li Ran looked at Liz warily.
Liz came closer.
In the end, Li Ran had to look elsewhere, otherwise it would appear too abrupt and rude.
Liz came close to Li Ran and whispered:
"do I look good?"
Li Ran replied: "You are very beautiful. If you were in our world, you would become a highly respected and dazzling star."
There was a hint of shyness in Liz's laughter: "I want to praise you for your honesty."
She turned around gracefully and took brisk steps.
"Can you accompany me for a walk by the river? I've been alone underground for too long, and I'm a little bored. In return... I will share with you some information from inside the devil."
...
Underground world, beside the dark river.
Waves of hot wind brought the smell of sulfur from afar, blowing the red sand on the river bank. Liz's long hair was also lifted up, and the tips of her hair brushed the tip of Li Ran's nose.
Liz clasped her hands behind her back, lowered her head and walked quietly.
At this moment, Liz doesn't look like a succubus, but like a human girl.
Her golden eyes and black armor, her simplicity of not knowing the world, and her strong vitality all reminded Li Ran of someone.
