Xing Zhiying knew that the situation was difficult, so she could only endure her resentment and continue crawling according to the instructions of the voice.
After a moment, she saw two chilong-like ice sculptures separated to the left and right, with a portal in the middle. Xing Zhiying was exhausted at this moment, breathing hard: "Hey... open the door."
The voice said calmly: "Go and pull the jaw of the dragon-shaped statue on the left, and the door will open."
Xing Zhiying looked up and saw that the dragon's head was five or six feet high from the ground. She had no choice but to sit up and stretched out her long sword to pull the dragon's jaw. When the dragon's jaw was pulled by the sword spine, she heard a soft click.
There is a sound, obviously the mechanism has been activated.
Xing Zhiying breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly felt her whole body go numb. Before she could think about it, she fell under the flip board. Her exclamation was instantly cut off by the ice, as if nothing had happened.
She was caught again without checking. Xing Zhiying only regretted that she didn't learn the lesson. She felt extremely regretful and had already fallen heavily on the ice. She was thrown to pieces on the spot, and she almost fainted as she groaned miserably.
past.
I don't know how long it took for my vague consciousness to finally regroup. When I opened my eyes, I saw only darkness. Xing Zhiying subconsciously recalled the nightmare of the coffin. She was filled with fear and misery at the same time, and she couldn't help it.
Started sobbing.
At this moment, I heard the voice say coldly: "Are you awake?"
Xing Zhiying was filled with resentment and simply ignored her, but she was unwilling to show weakness in front of the other party, so she tried her best to stop crying.
The voice fell silent for a moment, and then said: "You don't have to be angry. In fact, that portal is just a trap. Only the passage below can be safely entered."
Xing Zhiying was stunned when she heard this, and then said angrily: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier, and you insisted on causing me to suffer like this again?"
The voice said with a deep smile: "Even if I explain in advance that your legs have been broken, how can you cope with it? You might still be afraid, but wouldn't that be counterproductive?"
Xing Zhiying was startled again, and after a while she said angrily: "Anyway, I won't let you take advantage of me anymore. At worst, we'll both die together!"
The voice paused slightly and said in an understatement: "I have been sitting in the city of poverty for a long time, and I have long had the heart to die. It's a pity that you are still in your prime, and you are such a beautiful person. If you are really buried with me, wouldn't you?
Too much of a pity?”
Xing Zhiying still said angrily: "You don't need to use your words anymore. I don't want to live anymore anyway. It's because I'm too stupid and have a pig's brain. That's why I've been deceived by you again and again. What will happen to me?"
Just bear it yourself."
The voice seemed to be stagnant, and he reluctantly said: "Yes, I was a little paranoid before, but when did I lie to you? I have already declared in advance that as long as you help me get out of trouble, I will give you a dead soul to return to the world."
Yang Dan, these words will never be changed."
Seeing that Xing Zhiying didn't answer, the voice softened and said: "Nearly two hours have passed since you fell. I can still wait, but your brother who has died in the underworld cannot wait. The choice depends on you.
What you say is final."
After Xing Zhiying heard this, she still couldn't let go of the vague hope in her heart. She hesitated for a moment and said in a straight voice: "Then you promise not to harm me intentionally in the future, otherwise I will kill myself and follow my elder brother to hell, leaving only
You will die of cold and hunger."
The voice sighed and said: "That's all, I promise not to hurt you again. Now just follow the passage."
Xing Zhiying knew that the other party's guarantee might not be reliable, but since she was determined to die together, she didn't worry about him cheating again, so she followed the instructions and crawled in along the passage.
To be honest, this passage was not too long, but it was far colder than before. Even though Xing Zhiying had a special constitution, she actually felt cold all over her body.
Especially as it went deeper inside, the cold air invaded the bone marrow more and more. Xing Zhiying had to stop several times and rub her palms to warm them before continuing.
After a while, they finally came to the end of the road, and saw an extremely steep ice step in front of them. Xing Zhiying immediately became angry, gritted her silver teeth and said loudly: "Hey! I can't go up here!"
The voice coughed and said: "The steps are not possible, you first go around to the back of the steps and carefully look for the secret door."
Xing Zhiying had no choice but to follow the gap around the ice steps, and barely used her eyesight to look again. Sure enough, she saw a narrow gap on the left and right sides, so she asked again: "Which side?"
The voice muttered: "Can you swim?"
Xing Zhiying was startled and said: "So what if it happens? So what if it doesn't?"
The voice solemnly said: "The secret passage on the left is full of traps, and contains hidden dangers. If someone is not well versed in this passage, entering hastily will lead to a narrow escape. On the right is a ten-thousand-year-old cold pool, in which the weak
The water is unusually large, and anyone who enters it will definitely die."
After hearing this, Xing Zhiying was furious and scolded sternly: "Then you asked me if I can swim?!"
The voice explained patiently: "I only say that mortals will die if they enter it, but you are the body that avoids the cold, so not only will you not be harmed, but it will also be of great benefit."
Xing Zhiying was taken aback and blurted out: "How do you know that I am a person who can avoid the cold?"
The voice chuckled and said, "I originally thought Dai Xiong was talking nonsense, but looking at you walking all the way, you are clearly not afraid of the cold. I think God must have taken pity on me and sent you, a lucky star, to save me."
Xing Zhiying heard the other party's tone full of pride, and couldn't help but spat: "Don't talk to yourself, God is simply short-sighted, so he allowed you to succeed. Besides, it's okay in normal times, but now I'm being
You're in such a bad condition that your legs can't use any strength at all, how can you swim across this cold pool?"
The voice said disapprovingly: "Where there is a will, there is a way. Besides, I have said that this pool of water will be of great benefit to you. How will you know if it doesn't work if you don't try it?"
Xing Zhiying's heart moved, and she suddenly remembered the experience of meeting Huangfu Yingyang. They both had broken legs and were in the same cold pool. Could it be that fate is playing tricks on people?
Xing Zhiying was moved by the scene and couldn't help but shed tears, but the voice thought she was still hesitating and said harmoniously: "Your life and mine are tied to one place, how can I bury you in vain? What's more, your brother is still waiting for rescue.
, you must not delay any longer."
Xing Zhiying felt sad in her heart and said in a serious voice: "You don't have to use big brother to provoke me anymore. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will never give up. I only hope that you will keep your promise in the end, otherwise I will not be able to forgive you even if I am a ghost!"
The voice didn't seem dissatisfied, but said calmly: "Don't worry, I will never break my promise. When you get into the water later, listen to my voice and don't lose your way."
Xing Zhiying nodded and crawled towards the gap on the right. After a moment, she felt a bone-chilling chill, and she couldn't help but feel a sudden tremor in her heart.
After walking like this for a while, a pool of water appeared in front of us, so dark that we couldn't even see the edge.
Xing Zhiying thought of Huangfu Yingyang's safety, and finally secretly said to the gods for blessings, then reluctantly stood up and jumped into the pool with all her strength.
