Chapter 161 Ningning, why are you crying?
Chapter 161 Ningning, why are you crying?
Chi Xuan asked in shock, "So it really was you who did it?"
Yu Ling looked around and, seeing that only Chi Xuan was there, stopped pretending and sneered, "I did it! I pushed Zhou Jue into the blood pool, and it's all because of you! Who told you to only have eyes for Zhou Jue!"
Chi Xuan remained silent. After Su Yuning told her about Ji Xingyi's guess, she still couldn't believe that Yu Ling would betray Zhou Jue and Fang Heng, because Chi Xuan couldn't find a reason. Until one day, she accidentally noticed the way Yu Ling was looking at her.
The loving gaze suddenly reminded Chi Xuan of something that happened before she participated in the dungeon.
When Yu Ling confessed his feelings to her, Chi Xuan had no feelings for Yu Ling, so she made up an excuse and said that she had a crush on Zhou Jue.
"You're crazy!" Chi Xuan was utterly disappointed after hearing Yu Ling's reply.
"Yu Ling, you're terrifying!" Chi Xuan said angrily.
"Terrible? Who was it that risked their life to save you just now! I also risked my life to protect you, why did you only see Zhou Jue?" Yu Ling laughed bitterly and maniacally:
"Anyway, Zhou Jue and Fang Heng are both dead. If you don't come with me, who will protect you? Su Yuning? If she knew that Jingkang was also implicated and died because of you, would she still save you?"
Chi Xuan stood up, suddenly pulled out a thumb-sized knife from her sleeve, and stabbed it into Yu Ling's heart.
Yu Ling was completely unprepared for Chi Xuan; they were very close, and there was simply no time for him to react.
With a sudden spurt, blood gushed out.
Yu Ling looked at Chi Xuan with a pained and incredulous expression: "You...kill me? I...saved you! You killed me?!"
Tears streamed down Chi Xuan's face, but her movements became even more ruthless, as if she wanted to plunge the knife hilt in as well: "I don't need someone like you to save me!"
After dealing with Yu Ling, Chi Xuan immediately rushed towards the Three Lives Bridge as planned. She had deliberately fallen off the bamboo raft, pretending to fail and be eliminated.
While Chi Xuan was delayed, Su Yuning had already crossed the second stone bridge on a bamboo raft. However, just as she was about to reach the Three Lives Stone Bridge, the rope on the bamboo raft under Su Yuning's feet suddenly snapped, and the whole raft fell apart.
Su Yuning cried out in surprise and fell into the stream.
Because her legs were tied to the broken bamboo raft, Su Yuning was upside down underwater, and what was originally an aid became a hindrance to her escape!
Su Yuning immediately stood up, took out the dagger hidden on her body, and tried to cut the strips of cloth tied to her feet. However, the current was getting more and more rapid, and the short-haired girl accidentally choked.
Fortunately, Yang Yizhou arrived in time and gave the short-haired girl a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, after which Su Yuning recovered.
With Yang Yizhou's help, Su Yuning escaped unharmed. Just as the two were about to float to the shore, Yang Yizhou suddenly noticed a dark shadow appearing underwater.
Yang Yizhou immediately grabbed Su Yuning's leg and pushed her upwards forcefully.
After Su Yuning surfaced, she realized that Yang Yizhou hadn't followed her. A bad feeling washed over her, and her heart pounded. She then dived back down.
The underwater world was dark, and Su Yuning couldn't see clearly. Her anxiety grew: Yang Yizhou!
Before the short-haired girl could find Yang Yizhou, a tentacle suddenly wrapped around Su Yuning's ankle!
The tentacle was incredibly strong. Su Yuning was already in the water with nothing to grab onto, and she was uncontrollably dragged away by the underwater tentacle!
Dungeon BOSS! Su Yuning's alarm bells rang, and she tried her best to remain calm and reduce her oxygen consumption.
The blood-red shadow beneath the clear stream grabbed the short-haired girl and swam at an incredible speed toward the Three Lives Bridge. Its target was the passage beneath the Three Lives Bridge. In just 10 seconds, it dragged Su Yuning from the second stone bridge to the foot of the Three Lives Bridge.
Just as Blood Shadow was about to drag the short-haired girl into the passageway under the bridge, he suddenly encountered an obstacle.
A large net had appeared at the entrance of the cave, which was originally only filled with water plants. Blood Shadow was caught off guard and crashed into the net.
"We caught him!" Wang Zhe exclaimed as he surfaced.
However, their joy lasted only a second before the net that had trapped Blood Shadow was emptied!
Wang Bo, who had grabbed the other end of the net, surfaced with a look of horror: "This thing is liquid!"
Wang Bo had better night vision and could see clearly underwater. The creature wasn't caught in the net; its liquid body allowed it to easily pass through the net's holes. In the end, the net only caught Su Yuning.
Wang Zhe cursed inwardly, "Run!"
Wang Zhe scrambled ashore first, then pulled Wang Bo ashore and anxiously tugged at the large net, saying, "Quickly, pull her up!"
The underwater boss, unwilling to give up the duck it had already caught, grabbed Su Yuning and the two people on the shore and started a tug-of-war.
"Damn it! This son of a bitch is so strong!" Wang Zhe cursed in frustration.
Wang Bo's neck and face turned red, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Su Yuning was in a semi-conscious state due to the depletion of oxygen. Just when she thought she was about to faint, she suddenly saw Yang Yizhou. Yang Yizhou was waving his knife in the water. After realizing that he could not hit the liquid monster at all, he took out a talisman and stuck it on the mysterious blood shadow.
The moment the talisman touched the blood shadow, the blood shadow was enveloped in golden light and became immobilized, as if a pause button had been pressed.
[Immobilization Charm: Controls the target for 3 seconds.]
Wang Zhe and Wang Bo on the shore noticed that the underwater force suddenly loosened, and they immediately seized the opportunity, using all their strength to drag Su Yuning ashore.
After obtaining this item, Yang Yizhou always felt that it was incredibly useless. What could he do in 3 seconds? He could only run an extra 5 meters when escaping. He never expected it to be so effective at this moment.
After Su Yuning was dragged ashore, Yang Yizhou followed suit and climbed ashore as well.
Wang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Su Yuning was safe and sound.
He and Wang Bo lay in ambush at Sansheng Bridge. Once the bamboo rafts came down from upstream, they immediately set up a large net to block the entrance to the cave.
If the BOSS captures someone, it will definitely escape back to the Blood Pool in the dungeon through this passage. As long as the entrance is blocked, there is a chance to capture the BOSS.
Why should players be the ones captured by the BOSS? Why can't they capture the BOSS?
However, when Wang Zhe's gaze fell on Yang Yizhou, the smile that had just appeared on his face vanished instantly.
After coughing up the water that had entered her lungs, Su Yuning stood up and saw that Yang Yizhou's face was pale. Su Yuning looked down and her pupils shrank. She saw that there were three holes about the thickness of two fingers in Yang Yizhou's chest.
The hole pierced through the chest and back, and even the internal organs could be seen.
"Yang Yizhou!" Su Yuning exclaimed in alarm.
Yang Yizhou forced a smile: "I...I'm fine..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground.
Su Yuning: "Yang Yizhou!"
Yang Yizhou reached out and gently rubbed the short-haired girl's head, breathing heavily, "Ningning, why are you crying?"
This isn't like you at all...
After saying this, the blond-haired youth's hand fell limply to his side.
Su Yuning knelt on the ground, wailing uncontrollably. She didn't know what to say, and could only keep calling out the young man's name: "Yang Yizhou!"
"Yang Yizhou!"
"Yang Yizhou!"
Wang Zhe sighed and looked in the direction of the Jin residence, wondering how things were going there.
At the start of the match, Ji Xingyi also glanced in the direction of the Three Lives Bridge, wrapped his palms and wrists with cloth strips, and then took the goose feather knife that Chen Jiangqiao had found in town and jumped over the high courtyard wall.
