Chapter 2302: Enemy or Friend
In the dark underground river, a group of people were staggering forward.
The leader was Shi Guangkai, who had led Lu Yu and Huo Yunru before. But everyone, including Shi Guangkai, was trembling with fear, and their calves were shaking, but they still did not dare to give up. They gritted their teeth and continued bravely. go ahead.
There is no other reason, because the two people who claimed to be from Qiutong Palace mysteriously disappeared... Not only did their disappearance affect the mining progress of "Hengsha", they were afraid that they would also affect the entire mining system, so they must be dealt with Find out their specific whereabouts.
You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when dead... This is the order personally issued by the commander, Garo Tendo.
"Are they really here?" said a native who was following Shi Guangkai. "Are they looking for death? Isn't it the only way to die if they come here?"
Several other natives also responded: "I think they must be dead, there is no need to waste time here..."
"This is the direction leading to the source of 'Hengsha'. It is extremely dangerous. Although the two foreigners look annoying, they don't seem to have lost their minds. How could they go in this direction?"
"Even the commander-in-chief doesn't dare to get close to the source of the 'Hengsha' water flow. If those two aliens really go this way, they will definitely be dead. I think there is no need to go any further..."
…
Talking about a thousand words and preaching ten thousand words, these people don’t want to go any further.
After all, as long-term workers here, these people are fully aware of the dangers here. When the impact of the underground river water comes, we can only resist it by decrypting and holding together, but this process is also very reluctant and full of great risks.
In fact, from Shi Guangkai's point of view, he didn't want to make a joke with his own life. He wanted to go back and deliver the goods as soon as possible, but there was no way. Jia Luo Tiantong had already issued a death order. If the bodies of the two people could not be found, then take them. His own body was returned for delivery, and he had no choice at all.
"Shut up!" Shi Guangkai yelled loudly: "This is an order personally issued by the Commander-in-Chief! The Commander-in-Chief said it personally. Those two people went deep into the direction of the source of the Hengsha water flow. Do you want to say that the Commander-in-Chief also made a mistake? Why don't you go back and tell the commander yourself!"
All the natives suddenly fell silent. For them, the leader was the god of this world, an existence they would never dare to offend. How could they dare to refute his views face to face?
The scene suddenly froze. After a while, a native said in a low voice: "We are not questioning the leader...but is there a possibility that we are looking in the wrong direction..."
Before he finished speaking, there was suddenly a rumble from the front of the river.
The expressions of the gods suddenly changed.
This sound is too familiar to them. It has been a signal for the entire mine to start working for a long time. The only difference is that before, they were in other areas of the mine, under the protection of the mineral mining system... and This time they faced the impact of the "Hengsha" water flow without any protective measures, which meant great danger.
"Hold together!" Dasheng Shi Guangkai ordered.
The group of natives behind him couldn't help but gathered around him immediately, with their heads facing each other and shoulders hugging each other, forming a huge human-shaped "meat ball".
This humanoid "meat ball" contains some mysterious mystery, and is combined into a unique formation, which greatly improves the protection ability.
In the previous "Hengsha" water flow impacts several times, they used this way of coping to survive the violent water impact.
However, this time it seems that such methods are not enough...
Because the location here is closer than before, the impact of the water flow has become more violent, exceeding the limit of their protective capabilities.
Click!
There was a crisp sound, even amidst the roar of water, the sound seemed so harsh, like a wooden thorn piercing Shi Guangkai's heart.
This was the sound of a native's leg bone breaking. Finally, someone was the first to be unable to withstand the impact of the violent water flow, and became the first piece of wood on the entire barrel to break...
What followed was a chain reaction, so that more natives could not withstand the impact of the powerful water flow, and the crisp sound of "clicking" was heard endlessly. Either arms or legs were broken, and the original humanoid formation system collapsed completely.
"My life is at risk!"
Shi Guangkai wailed in his heart.
He had fled all the way from the Central World to here. He had imagined countless times that he would be at the end of his rope and die, but he never imagined that the final outcome would be like this.
And when he really faced this moment, he found that he was not as calm as expected... After all, there were still many regrets and many worries that he still could not completely let go of.
The strong pressure of the water came one after another, accompanied by a large amount of Hengsha, which sharply eroded the power of his body, which further accelerated the arrival of death.
Shi Guangkai struggled to push away a dead native from his chest so that he could escape alone to fight for the last chance of survival, but found that everything was in vain. The previous defense method of the human flesh ball had become a burden, making him unable to survive at all. Unable to escape, he could only wait to die.
Shi Guangkai closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the final moment of death.
However, this "final moment" never came, and the thoughts in Shi Guangkai's mind still existed.
"What are you doing?"
A voice suddenly sounded nearby.
It was not the native language here, but the common language widely used in the Central World.
Shi Guangkai was startled and opened his eyes quickly.
A red lotus appeared in front of him. The details and angles of each petal were extremely mysterious, with a kind of wonderful charm that he couldn't describe at all. The whole red lotus was full of mysterious atmosphere.
Under the red lotus were two familiar figures. They were the two outsiders who claimed to be from Qiutong Palace that they had been looking for...
They actually survived?
And it seemed that they were in very good condition, at least much better than the group of people who came here specifically to find their whereabouts...If I'm not mistaken, the direction they appeared at this time was actually the direction of the source of the Hengsha River?
What on earth is going on?
Shi Guangkai's brain almost short-circuited... You know, the source of the Hengsha water flow is a place that even Jialuo Tiantong dared not approach, but these two people went deep into such an area, and it seemed that they had even gone to the source, but they were unharmed in this situation?
He knew that these two people had a powerful background and came from the famous Qiutong Palace, but it couldn't be so exaggerated, right?
"Who are you...?" Shi Guangkai used up his last strength to ask the doubts in his heart.
"Who are we?"
In the red lotus, Lu Yu smiled playfully, "Old Black, at this time, are you still interested in this issue? Do you really not care about your life or death?"
"I..."
Shi Guangkai looked down and saw that his chest was already eroded. This erosion was not just a bloody erosion, but the golden elixir law had completely collapsed.
Although the other party successfully resisted the last impact of the water flow for them and prevented the direct arrival of death, it seemed that he would not live long.
Just when he was desperate, Lu Yu on the opposite side suddenly threw a lotus to him, and he immediately felt warm on his body. The golden elixir that had collapsed and rotted began to repair itself miraculously.
Shi Guangkai looked up in surprise and looked at Lu Yu with incredible eyes, as if he saw the Yongle Immortal King of the Central World descending in front of him.
"It doesn't matter who we were in the past, what matters is what kind of person we will become next... Enemy? Or friend, it all depends on your own choice!"
Lu Yu's voice finally said.
"Your life is still useful, go and help me notify Jialuo Tiantong! Tell him that the situation has changed now, whether he wants to reconsider... whether to be my enemy or my friend!"
