Chapter 227 Saved
Ji Qiuyue carried Shen Shuyuan on her back and didn't know how far she had walked. The passage was still dim, and the light from the night pearls on the wall now had a strange tint.
I didn’t think so before, but now it looks like the eyes of a giant python, so creepy.
"Qiuyue, put me down." Shen Shuyuan said suddenly.
Ji Qiuyue panted slightly and took the time to reply: "Senior Brother, I will not give up on you."
Shen Shuyuan was about to say something when he heard Ji Qiuyue say again: "It's over."
Shen Shuyuan looked up at the stone wall in front of him and said, "Put me down."
This time Ji Qiuyue obediently put him down.
Shen Shuyuan held on to the wall to steady himself; he had recovered somewhat.
"This doesn't seem to be the exit either," Ji Qiuyue fumbled around after putting her down.
She only felt a smooth wall.
Shen Shuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember how we fell down?"
Ji Qiuyue was stunned when she heard this, and looked up, only to see darkness.
"Even if there is a hole, there doesn't seem to be any mechanism to open it. We can't just wait for someone to fall down from above."
Shen Shuyuan touched the wall. Besides being cold and damp, it also felt a bit sticky.
He thought for a moment and said, "If my guess is correct, these passages are for the giant python to move around.
And the way we came down is the same way the python went up."
"What should we do then?" Ji Qiuyue asked.
"Perhaps the only way for us to get out is to follow him, but there is also a second way, that is, if the owner of this giant python happens to come down, we can follow him." Shen Shuyuan finished explaining the two methods.
However, these two methods were useless. They couldn't let the giant python take them up, and they didn't know who the giant python's owner was or when it would come down.
After all their efforts, they only injured one of the python's eyes.
The combined strength of the two of them was not enough to defeat it, and Shen Shuyuan was still injured.
"Senior Brother, that thing seems to be chasing us." Ji Qiuyue said with a sudden change of expression.
Shen Shuyuan also had a serious expression on his face. If the giant python really caught up with them, their current situation would definitely be one of life and death.
The two looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
The sound of armor rubbing against the ground was getting closer and closer, accompanied by the strange cry of the python.
A thin layer of sweat involuntarily seeped out of the palms of both men.
Ji Qiuyue gripped the hilt of the sword tightly. Even if she died here today, she would kill that beast.
In a flash, the snake's head appeared in their sight.
The light in the passage was much dimmer, and in such an environment, looking at the giant python was even more terrifying.
Ji Qiuyue wanted to fight back and raised her sword to stab it, but the passage restricted her movements.
She was knocked out by the giant python's head and hit the wall.
"Qiuyue," Shen Shuyuan was anxious.
Ji Qiuyue fell from the wall and vomited blood.
There was no time to slow down and he stood up immediately. The sword had no effect on the giant python, its scales were as hard as armor.
Now I can only use my internal energy to deal with it, but even if I release my true energy, the damage is not fatal to the giant python.
Now, both of them were injured, and the giant python became even more violent because of the battle.
Ji Qiuyue's dagger was still stuck in one of its eyes.
The giant python attacked again, but this time its attack was directed towards Shen Shu.
Shen Shuyuan had no way to escape, it was already a dead end.
Just when the snake head was only an inch away from him, Shen Shuyuan closed his eyes, but the imagined pain of death did not come.
He felt the ground shaking, opened his eyes, and saw a figure standing in front of him.
He carefully identified it, somewhat incredulous: "Qing, Qingling?"
"Senior brother, senior brother, are you okay?" Ji Qiuyue came to Shen Shuyuan and looked at him worriedly.
Shen Shuyuan shook his head, and then he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
Qingling used only one hand to blow the giant python's head off when it was about to attack again.
The bloody smell instantly filled the entire passage. The smell was so strong that Shen Shuyuan and Ji Qiuyue couldn't help but retching.
Qingling did not turn around to see their situation, but walked towards the snake body that was still wriggling.
"Be careful!" Shen Shuyuan saw it out of the corner of his eye and shouted subconsciously.
Qing Ling walked without stopping at all. He came to the body of the giant python and looked at the golden scales on it.
He stretched out his hand and used his true energy to cut a hole in the giant python at the seven-inch mark.
Then he followed the hole and opened the entire snake's belly.
Countless undigested foods in the snake's stomach appeared before his eyes.
The decayed corpse still had some clothes on it.
Qing Ling took a look and the coldness in his eyes faded a little.
He felt relieved when he saw that Song Yu was not there.
When he was about to turn around, he saw something hidden seven inches from the giant python.
He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and picked him up.
A blood-stained bead, the size of a fist.
Qing Ling put it away, and then turned around to find that the two people behind him had been staring at him.
Qingling took a look at the two people's miserable appearance.
"Thank you for saving my life." Shen Shuyuan spoke first.
Ji Qiuyue followed closely behind, and the two of them bowed to Qingling to express their gratitude.
Qingling just looked at him coldly without responding.
After they stood up, he asked, "How do we get out?"
This question stumped the two of them.
After a moment, Shen Shuyuan told Qingling his analysis.
After listening to this, Qingling looked up, and then without any hesitation, he used his Qinggong skills to fly towards the place where he had just landed.
When he reached the top, he climbed up the wall, but the wall was very slippery and it was difficult to keep his footing.
When he landed again, he looked at the two embarrassed men and said, "You two, bless me."
"How, how can I help?" Ji Qiuyue asked.
Qing Ling said: "Be a stepping stone."
With a powerful blow, a big hole appeared on the top of his head.
Ji Qiuyue and Shen Shuyuan finally returned to the ground.
Qingling jumped out last.
Ji Qiuyue looked around. This was a wing room with an entrance at the end of the bed. She thought of the underground passages and thought that every room in the Li family might have such an entrance leading to the ground.
"Who raised the snake?" Ji Qiuyue asked.
"Song Yu was arrested." Qingling said.
"What?" Ji Qiuyue was shocked: "Isn't he with you? How could this happen?"
After he said this, he saw Qingling's face suddenly darken at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Shen Shuyuan next to him said, "Any clues? Was it Ye Xu who did it?"
The only enemy he could think of now was Ye Xu.
Qing Ling didn't say anything, his face still gloomy.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Immediately afterwards, countless flames illuminated the door.
Ji Qiuyue and Shen Shuyuan looked at each other, and they both saw the same message in each other's eyes. They were afraid of being discovered.
