Chapter 107: Escape from Death

Facing Ruoxue’s blood, Huigen, who had just stopped crying and started laughing, began to cry again. However, Ruoxue didn’t say anything, but just held Huigen’s hand and, with all his strength, finally climbed out of the hole behind me.

As she lay on the ground, she wanted to stand up before she could even catch her breath, but at that moment, she spat out another mouthful of blood. At the bottom of the hole, I saw that someone was already preparing to climb up.

Ruxue obviously saw this as well. I was behind her, so I couldn’t see her expression clearly, but I saw a white, lightning-fast thing fly into the hole and then fiercely bite the face of the person who was already preparing to climb up.

It was dark inside the cave, and I couldn’t see clearly, but I heard another scream, and then the white lightning bolt flew out and stopped on Ru Xue’s shoulder.

I could finally see the white bug on Ru Xue’s shoulder. It was so beautiful, not at all hideous or frightening, just like its owner, and it was impossible not to love it at first sight.

But at this time, the white bug had a broken shell, oozing a little light pink transparent blood, and its wings were drooping, looking so miserable and wretched.

The white bug was lying motionless on Ruoxue’s shoulder. I saw a tear roll down Ruoxue’s cheek. She was always so strong and calm, but this was the first time I saw her cry.

As the tear fell, the white bug fell with it, and then the whole body lost its resilience and became stiff.

One hand gently picked up the white bug, it was Ru Xue, and then she began to spit blood in large mouthfuls, splashing the blood that stained her palms and the white bug in her hand.

But it was only a matter of seconds before she was struggling to stand up and walk behind me, and Huigen was also busy helping her.

The sky was dark with clouds, and the wind was blowing in gusts. The distant sky was torn apart by lightning, and the thunder rumbled muffled. A drop of rain fell, and then the rain came down in torrents, drenching the three of us.

In this vast rain curtain, is there no hope for us?

No, I can’t. I felt a great sense of injustice, anger and pain. I felt like I could hear the roar of a tiger deep in my soul. A knot of anger rose from my stomach and rushed to my throat. I gritted my teeth and swallowed hard. I found that I had the strength to speak.

“Hui Gen, give me the medicine in my bag. Hurry…” I said this with all my might, almost using up all my strength. I was so weak that I was almost drowned out by the thunder, but Hui Gen was so smart and alert that she finally heard my command. She dared not neglect it, and reached out to start rummaging through my bag.

The pill was in the most conspicuous place in my bag because I had been holding it in my hand, so Hui Gen immediately found it and asked me if it was the pill. I nodded hurriedly. We had already delayed for almost two minutes since we left the cave.

The golden silkworm worm had used its last life to help us delay for a little while, but now there must already be pursuers coming up. The hole, for a normal person to climb up, it would take at most 5 or 6 minutes. I couldn’t delay any longer.

Hui Gen put the pill in my mouth, and I swallowed it hard. The pill split open with my saliva, flowed into my stomach, and exploded. This pill was Master’s prized possession, and its medicinal power was extraordinary. Master said that it could most effectively squeeze out a person’s potential, including the potential of the soul. The pill that Master said was so effective turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me.

I felt that something that I had cultivated for many years was forcibly taken away. I felt that something in my body, similar to vitality or longevity, had been crushed by something, and then a trace of essence was squeezed out, which instantly exploded throughout my body.

I had the strength, and was recovering quickly. Even my soul was no longer weak!

Without hesitation, I tore off the straps that bound me to Ruixue, then jumped down. I couldn’t help but touch Ruixue’s face, then said to her, “You rest, I’ll take over from here.”

At this moment, I saw that Ru Xue’s face was as pale as snow. She looked at me and smiled, and even the wind and rain seemed to retreat. My heart trembled as I watched her faint in my arms.

I handed Ru Xue over to Hui Gen’er and then strode towards the cave entrance. Under the stimulation of the medicine, I was almost more powerful than when I was at my peak! But what I had lost was something that could not be calculated.

There was a large stone at the entrance of the cave, presumably used to block the entrance in the past. I don’t know what method Gao Ning used to move it away. As long as we use that stone to block the entrance again, we will be temporarily safe. After all, compared to the tunnel, it is necessary to climb over mountains and rivers to get here from the village.

But I need time to move the big stone. Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at the sky full of thunder and lightning, I did not hesitate to pinch the thunder formula again. The spiritual power in my soul was almost overflowing and about to burst out, making my thunder formula pinch smoothly. The thunder and lightning in the sky also saved me the trouble of gathering thunder, and the process was extremely smooth. One after another, the thunder was successfully attracted down and then split at the entrance of the cave.

Looking at the hole where the golden snake was dancing wildly, I couldn’t help but feel a kind of arrogant pride in my heart. Compared to it, my Taoist pills were even more powerful.

Under the blockade of thunder and lightning, the hole in the ground became a restricted area for a time. You see, thunder and lightning have the power to destroy some evil spirits, and no spirit or demon can fly over.

The thunder and lightning blasted the earth and rocks in all directions, and the hole in the cave was almost completely covered by the earth and rocks, unable to take shape. When the last bolt of lightning fell, the hole in the cave was almost completely buried.

But that wasn’t enough, because the earth and stones were easily cleaned out. I let out a long sigh of relief, then endured the fatigue that came over me again, and began pushing the large stone at the entrance of the cave.

The rain had made the soil slippery, and I had blown away a lot of the soil under the rock, so it was not as hard as I had thought to push it. Hui Gen saw this and came to help.

I didn’t refuse. At this time, every bit of strength was a bit of strength. The large stone began to move slowly under the push of me and Huigen. The slippery soil and the lower terrain after the soil was blown away also helped us. With a dull roar, the hole was finally blocked.

At the moment the hole was blocked, I heard the old man’s desperate cry of “No!” and felt an indescribable sense of relief. I couldn’t help but burst out laughing, but because I had been squeezing myself too hard, the blood in my throat that I had been holding back finally gushed out.

Seeing this, Hui Gen couldn’t help but grab me tightly with his little hand, his worried expression unmistakable. I smiled and touched Hui Gen’s round head, saying to him, “Brother, it’s okay.”

Then I took Hui Gen’er’s little hand and walked straight to Ru Xue. Looking at the woman lying on the ground, I tenderly wiped the rainwater off her face, then picked her up. I didn’t know if she could hear me, but I still whispered to her, “Ru Xue, we can both survive this. When you wake up, I’ll be with you forever.”

There was no sound to respond to me, but I didn’t need a response. This was just my promise to Ru Xue. It didn’t matter if she could hear me or not.

The rain continued to fall. In the vast rain curtain, looking at the rolling mountains, I chose a direction and began to move forward step by step. Ru Xue was lying on my back, and Huigen was holding my clothes. I didn’t know how long the medicine would last, but before that, I had to try to choose a safe place to settle us.

After a few hours, the rain had gradually stopped, the sun broke through the clouds, and the warmth shone on us. I was getting weaker and weaker, and I was stepping on the mountain path with one foot deep and one foot shallow. I whispered to Huigen some things.

I was almost at the end of my strength. As dusk approached, I finally saw a large rock. Behind that rock, I thought, I could probably spend the night. I carried Ruoxue on my back, pulled Hui Gen’er along, and with my last bit of strength, I made it to the back of the rock.

I gently laid Ru Xue down, touched Hui Gen’er’s head, and said to her, “Remember what your brother told you.” Then I couldn’t hold on anymore, took Ru Xue’s hand, closed my eyes, and passed out.

I don’t know what will happen next, but I don’t want to let go of this hand.
