Chapter 96 Horror
In the silence, the ticking sound is particularly clear.
Jiang Lisheng looked down and opened his eyes wide, "Brother Wei, you are bleeding."
Wei Qinglan hummed, looked down at her clothes that were cut with countless tiny holes, and blood gathered from under her feet, dyeing the totem on the ground red.
Jiang Lisheng dragged him away in fear, "Hurry, let's go, let's go down first. If your blood activates some bad mechanism, we will both be doomed."
Wei Qinglan let her drag him away and walked down the stone steps, leaving a trail of blood under his feet as he walked.
Jiang Lisheng stared at the ground nervously and waited for a while. He didn't see the blood trigger anything, so he breathed a sigh of relief and took out two Xun grasses from his storage ring. "Hurry, eat them quickly, don't bleed anymore."
There was so much blood that even though he was wearing a scarlet robe, he looked like a bloody person. It was so scary.
Wei Qinglan reached out to take it, bit the stems and leaves of the Xun grass, and ate it bite by bite.
Jiang Lisheng didn't dare to move. "After you finish eating, meditate and regulate your breathing. When you are better, we will find a way to get out."
Wei Qinglan nodded.
After eating two stems and leaves of Xuncao, the effect was quick and the wound healed.
Seeing that he had finally stopped bleeding, Jiang Lisheng handed him his clothes and said, "Don't you have any clothes to wear? I'll give this back to you."
Wei Qinglan looked at her and didn't answer.
Jiang Lisheng quickly took out a new set of clothes from his storage bag, "I have my own, so there's no need to wear yours."
I was soaking in the backwater earlier, and now I don’t know when my clothes have dried out. I guess they were dried by the wind in the black hole when I fell.
Wei Qinglan reached out to take it, wanting her to turn her back like last time, but thinking that her clothes had not been changed yet and her back was torn, exposing a large area of skin, he could only say: "Close your eyes."
Jiang Lisheng: "..."
It’s already this time, and you’re still so particular!
She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, closed her eyes, and urged him, "Hurry up! Don't you know what's important?"
Wei Qinglan did not answer her, but changed her clothes with some difficulty. However, he did not know whether it was because his five senses were too sensitive, or because the clothes Jiang Lisheng had given him had been worn on her for too long and were stained with her scent, a faint fragrance that was not strong, but unbearable for him.
He could only reach out and untie his clothes again, take out a new set from the storage ring, and put them on again.
"Why are you so slow?" Jiang Lisheng listened to his meticulous movements, as if he was constantly fiddling with his clothes. She couldn't help but ask, "Is it inconvenient for you to change because of your injuries? Do you need my help? I don't know why you are so particular. You have wounds all over your body. What's so good about it? You're actually afraid of me seeing it..."
"Shut up." Even after changing his clothes, Wei Qinglan still couldn't calm down. The scent of her body still seemed to linger in his nostrils.
Jiang Lisheng didn't understand what he was upset about, so he could only mutter, "He's moody."
Wei Qinglan ignored her.
After a while, he packed up, took out the blanket, sat cross-legged, and said, "Okay." Jiang Lisheng opened her eyes and wanted to say something, but seeing that he had closed his eyes and meditated, she could only hold him down, took off her torn clothes, and changed into clean clothes. "This Kunlun disciple uniform is too fragile to wear. And the robes you are wearing are also of a certain grade, right? How come it can't stand being torn?"
Wei Qinglan mobilized his spiritual power and found that even though he tried his best to control it, it was still being quickly sucked away, making it impossible for him to even heal his wounds. This place looked like an abandoned altar, but in fact there was a formation operating. It was invisible to the naked eye, but there was an invisible suction force that was sucking away his spiritual power.
He could only give up and open his eyes, "This is also a formation."
"Ah?" Jiang Lisheng was surprised, "Is this also a formation?"
"As long as I use my spiritual power, even if it's to heal myself, it will be absorbed." Wei Qinglan stood up and put away the blanket. "Don't you think it's a formation?"
Jiang Lisheng blinked. She hadn't studied it carefully yet, but she felt that this place made her feel very uncomfortable and creepy.
"I can only rely on you." Wei Qinglan looked at her.
Jiang Lisheng frowned and scratched his head, "I haven't learned the formation well either."
Wei Qinglan pursed his lips, "We must get out as soon as possible. We can't stay here for long, otherwise you and I will be trapped." He waved his hand, and the dust on the ground dispersed, revealing the white bones standing or lying on the altar. Everyone's death looked very painful.
Jiang Lisheng opened his eyes wide, and was completely frightened, "Why, why are there so many..."
Just now she thought there was nothing there, just the two of them, but she didn't expect to see so many bones in the blink of an eye.
"It's a trick of this formation." Wei Qinglan suppressed the spiritual power that was absorbed by his actions. "If my guess is correct, there are more than a dozen Yuanying bones, dozens of Jindan bones, and probably hundreds of foundation building bones."
Jiang Lisheng: "..."
She was horrified, "Then we're both done for!"
Wei Qinglan didn't say anything.
Jiang Lisheng had never seen such an altar formation before. She had no idea how to break it. She was extremely nervous and stretched out her claws to grab his sleeves. "Brother Wei, we are not going to die here together, are we?"
Wei Qinglan couldn't answer her. After all, he had never encountered such a formation before. A formation that could absorb the spiritual power of a cultivator must be an evil formation. He also remembered the formation that he had set up at the bottom of the water. It was set up by someone to catch carp, but it was easy to break. At that time, he only needed to use the sword in his hand. The Xiantian Sword could activate the mountains and seas to destroy it. But now, once he activated his spiritual power, it was quickly absorbed by the formation, making it almost impossible for him to lift the sword.
Jiang Lisheng had already anticipated that the two of them might also become two piles of white bones here. She didn't know what kind of horrible death would be seen by others in the future. She thought that she would also become one of the terrible people here, so she shook her head fiercely and said fearfully: "Brother Wei, I don't want to look so miserable after I die. If I really can't get out, just kill me with a sword first."
She tapped her forehead and said, "Just kill here. This is my weak spot. Killing my heart won't work."
Wei Qinglan saw that she was serious and even told him her weaknesses, so she pushed her away angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, save your energy and study the formation. You want to die, but I don't."
Jiang Lisheng naturally didn't want to die, but this place was so gloomy and scary. She felt as if there were countless ghosts floating around, but she just couldn't see them. She fearfully reached out and pulled his sleeve again, demanding, "Come with me. If anything goes wrong, you can come with me."
Wei Qinglan didn't object and let her pull his sleeves and join her.
Jiang Lisheng carefully pulled Wei Qinglan around. The space under the altar was very empty, without a single bone. The dust on the ground was very clean after Wei Qinglan swept it away with a wave of her hand. After walking around, she found nothing. She could only pull Wei Qinglan back to the altar.
Monthly ticket, huh?
