"How about walking further north," the Taoist priest said. "I remember that a little further on, there is the exit of Qiaomei Town."
Xia Hua agreed, "Just in time to see what the edge of the city has become."
"Okay."
Luo Jiutian turned the steering wheel and drove onto the expressway out of the city. The car didn't drive long before the toll station out of the city appeared in front of everyone.
"There is no one inside the toll booth," Li Muyuan sat up a little higher and looked up, "If we want to go out, we have to go to the toll booth first and raise the gate."
"No need to go to such trouble," Xia Hua said, "Jiutian, just run into it."
"receive!"
Luo Jiutian agreed cheerfully, as if he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and rushed over with a flash in his eyes.
There was a snap, and the barrier broke. At the same time, the sirens everywhere in the toll station screamed. Luo Jiutian kicked the accelerator, leaving the fragments of the barrier and the sound of the siren behind. Their
The car pierced the darkness and drove forward.
"Oh my god, can you just escape like this?" Luo Jiutian's eyes widened. He stretched his neck and looked forward, "Or is this not the boundary of the world? We...hehehehe
Hey!..."
Suddenly, the car began to tilt forward, and everyone in the car jumped forward. The car's center of gravity tilted forward, and the tilt angle became wider.
"It's not good!" Luo Jiutian looked forward and shouted loudly.
The front of the car that looked normal just now turned into a chaotic darkness without knowing it. The front of their car had already crashed into that darkness, and they were about to fall completely into it.
The darkness in front of me surged and swirled, as if black saliva was flowing from a big black mouth.
squeak--
The chassis of the car whined, the front wheels had completely collapsed, and the chassis was directly stuck on the section of the cement road, teetering on the edge of collapse.
"Jiutian, hurry up and open the door!" The Taoist Master grabbed the door buckle and said urgently.
Luo Jiutian lifted the door lock. Dao Zhang and Xia Hua pushed the door open at the same time. One left and one right, they threw their right hands towards the road.
The Taoist priest threw out a talisman, and the talisman turned into a steel cable in mid-air. One end of the steel cable flew towards the toll booth not far away, and the other end was firmly tied to the front of the car.
The object thrown by Xia Hua was barely visible, but half a second later, a green python emerged from the road. The python opened its huge mouth and bit into the trunk of the car.
Squeak!
The car finally stopped tilting, and the people in the car gasped in shock. They froze in place, not daring to move, until the car was slowly dragged back to the road with the cooperation of the steel cable and the python.
"Huh...it scared me to death," Luo Jiutian backed up the car tremblingly and wiped his sweat, "It's so despicable!"
The overwhelming darkness in front gradually faded away, and within a few seconds, the scenery in front of the car changed back to what it was just now.
Everyone got out of the car, Xia Hua took back the python, and the group walked to the place where the crisis had just occurred, looking down at the ground.
"Fortunately, I slowed down after hitting the pole, otherwise we would have been down there already." Luo Jiutian said as he tested the cement floor in front of him with his shoes.
Xia Hua walked to the roadside, picked up a stone from the ground, gestured at the distance, and threw it over.
The stone flew through the air and fell with normal gravity acceleration. The moment it fell to the ground, the small patch of ground suddenly turned into a black abyss, and the stone was swallowed up in an instant. Not long after, the abyss disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
As if.
"It seems that this is the border," Zhou Ye limped back to the car, "I don't know where the borders are in other directions, but I speculate that they should all revolve around Qiaomei Town."
Li Muyuan and the Taoist priest resettled Miaozhen and Zhuge Shou, who had slipped off their seats, back to their seats. The Taoist priest looked up at Zhou Ye and asked, "What's wrong with your legs?"
"It's nothing," Zhou Ye said, "the biting bug bit me on the leg."
"It looks a bit serious." The director returned to the passenger seat and said while buckling his seat belt.
Xia Hua also raised her eyelids and said, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Has Mu Yuan seen your injuries?" The Taoist priest looked at Zhou Ye in the rearview mirror and asked.
"He wouldn't let me see it," Li Muyuan said. "He said it was just a minor injury."
"I...I don't need you to watch," Zhou Ye hesitated, "I'm really fine, just drive."
Xia Hua hummed and smiled, "This guy still doubts us."
Zhou Ye's thoughts were revealed, and he wanted to speak out to refute, but in the end he was too embarrassed to speak.
"If we wanted to harm you, we would have done it long ago," Xia Hua raised her voice and said slowly, "Why wait until now?"
"I don't think so." Zhou Ye said angrily.
"You are afraid that I will poison you so that I can control you later, right?" Li Muyuan asked.
"I..." Zhou Ye avoided their eyes, "I didn't..."
"You know the extent of your own injuries," Li Muyuan said.
"Otherwise, just roll up your trouser legs and let Mu Yuan take a quick look," Luo Jiutian said, "It will be fine if he doesn't touch you, so you can rest assured."
Zhou Ye's hands grabbed the corners of his clothes and rubbed them.
"Mr. Muyuan is kind-hearted and will not harm you," the Taoist priest said.
Li Muyuan nodded, "But I do have that medicine."
"Ah?" Luo Jiutian asked, "What kind of medicine?"
"This is the medicine that makes you listen to me."
"Don't scare him," Xia Hua said, "otherwise it would be bad if he died in our car."
The weight of these words was obviously heavier than the previous ones. Zhou Ye gritted his teeth, raised his right leg, and gently rolled up his trouser leg.
Everyone leaned over and looked over.
"Oh my God," Luo Jiutian's facial features suddenly became tangled together, "How did you endure it for so long? I thought being bitten by that little bug was really no big deal..."
On Zhou Ye's right calf, a bump as big as a palm had swollen. The surface of the pus bump was translucent, and the blue-purple pus inside was flowing. Zhou Ye grimaced, obviously in great pain.
Li Muyuan's brows suddenly frowned. He stepped forward, subconsciously stretched out his hands, and then stopped his hands in mid-air.
"Can I touch it?"
Zhou Ye sighed and nodded resignedly.
Li Muyuan stretched out his hand to touch the horrible pustule. Zhou Yeben gritted his teeth, but found that it didn't hurt. When Li Muyuan's cold fingertips touched it, the pain seemed to disappear somehow.
"Is it serious?" Xia Hua looked at Li Muyuan's serious profile and asked, "Will someone die? I remember there is a cemetery in the south of the city, otherwise we can just drive there."
After observing the injury, Li Muyuan retracted his hand and raised his brows.
"It's okay, it's not serious..."
Zhou Ye breathed a long sigh of relief.
"...As long as the limbs are amputated, it will be fine. I won't die."
