Ye Jiushang stayed behind to cover the retreat. As long as the evil bone spectral warrior approached, he would use sound-killing techniques to repel them.
However, doing so more or less required him to use his strength. A month had yet to pass, and his current circulation of energy would still affect him. But the situation was urgent, and he had no other choice.
Xue Fanxin also knew that Ye Jiushang was unable to utilize his cultivation base. Seeing him constantly circulating his cultivation technique to play the guqin, he was extremely worried that his body would not be able to withstand it.
Although Ah Jiu had never told him how much damage the Draconic Lotus Intoxication had caused, he could guess that the consequences would be severe.
“Ah Jiu, don't use your energy anymore. Let's run together.” Xue Fanxin stopped him from playing the guqin. He pulled it and ran, no longer thinking about the little white tiger.
The little white tiger, the unreliable man, knew that coming to the tomb of the Spacetime Emperor was risky, but remained drunk. It can't be spoiled.
As Ah Jiu said, if the little white tiger died because of this, he deserved it.
In addition, the situation is critical. He can only look after those closest to him.
Xue Fanxin pulled Ye Jiushang as she ran. Seeing that the evil bone spectral warrior was catching up quickly, he used the Heavenly Spirit Butterfly Dance and summoned thousands of spirit butterflies to block his pursuers.
However, because his cultivation level was too low, the Heavenly Spirit Butterfly Dance did not go well. The butterfly could not deter the evil bone spectral warrior at all. They are like a thin layer of paper that can be torn with a push.
He knew the power of the Heavenly Spirit Butterfly Dance. Even if his cultivation level was not high, the Heavenly Spirit Butterfly Dance he used would not be weak.
This situation only meant that the spectral warriors of the evil bones were too powerful. With his small ability, he could not resist.
At the same time, it also meant that his strength was too far away from Ah Jiu. It indirectly meant that he was extremely weak.
With his strength, if he barged into the tomb of the Spacetime Emperor alone, he would definitely not be able to return.
“This evil bone spectral warrior is amazing. Even I find it very difficult to deal with them, let alone you. Don't tangle with them. Quickly leave this place.”
Ye Jiushang did not want to fight with that skeleton anymore. He took Xue Fanxin and started running, overtaking Zhuri and Fuyun. However, just as he was about to surpass Little Lei, another situation appeared in front of him.
"Oh no."
Little Lei, who was running in front, let out a sharp scream.
“Ah..”
As he ran too fast, he did not pay attention to the road in front of him. By the time he realized it, he could no longer stop. He stepped on a very smooth ice path, and it was a slope.
He slid down the ice lane as if he was sitting on a fast slide. With the swoosh, he's gone. Only his screams were heard from below.
Ye Jiushang quickly stopped. He stopped in the ice lane and did not slide down like Little Lei.
Zhuri and Fuyun also stopped by their side. They looked at the bottomless ice tunnel in front of them and lamented Little Lei.
“Your Majesty, this slope is steep and deep, even covered in ice sheets. I wonder what dangers lie below. Should we get off?” Zhuri asked.
He turned to look at the evil bone spectral warrior that was about to catch up, but he was unable to make up his mind.
Ye Jiushang looked back and saw that the skeleton was already approaching. He really had no time to hesitate. Hence, he brought Xue Fanxin and jumped onto the slope.
"Jumping."
Zhuri and Fuyun did not hesitate either. As Ye Jiushang jumped, they followed him.
The slope is very long. Everyone originally thought that it would be steep all the way down, but unexpectedly, in the middle, it was actually uphill.
Then, it changed its direction back down. It was a wavy line of ice that meandered, up and down. People were thrown up and down, making them dizzy.
"G ..." Little Lei was in front. When the slope changed direction, he would shout.
Among everyone, only Ye Jiushang did not shout. He's always calm. No matter how bad the situation was, he would try his best to maintain his composure.
Furthermore, he tightly pulled Xue Fanxin and never let go.
Originally, Xue Fanxin had indeed panicked. He had shouted when he jumped onto the ice path, but the ice path was too long and he was unable to reach its base in a short period of time.
Slowly, he recovered. At this moment, he had a familiar feeling as if he was on a rollercoaster. That's heartening.
"Wow ... It worked, too."
Seeing Xue Fanxin's excited expression, Ye Jiushang was confused. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a spark in front of him …
Little Lei was thrown into the water.
“Ah... Uhuk, uhuk..” The end is actually a lake.
Everyone slid out of the ice lane and was thrown into the lake. They were stunned while soaking in the water and had yet to react.
On the other hand, Xue Fanxin was floating on the lake excitedly. “Wow.. It's like playing in an amusement park. It's so fun."
“What is an amusement park?” Ye Jiushang was confused again. Many times, he was unable to understand the words Xue Fanxin used and had never even heard them.
Could it be a word from the previous world?
"Entertainment park is .. is a playground." Xue Fanxin really did not know how to explain that amusement park.
But he's not in the mood to joke. After all, this place was extremely dangerous, and he could face danger at any time. The best thing is to be careful.
Little Lei drank a little water before he recovered. He kept coughing and felt uncomfortable. Seeing Xue Fanxin's happiness, he couldn't help but complain.
“Girl, we came here for you. What time is it? You actually still want to play? You are overdoing it.”
"Alright fine! I was just kidding. Don't take it seriously!”
"Your Majesty, there's someone there." Zhuri calmed down immediately after falling into the water. He looked around and discovered that there was actually a person by the lake.
There seemed to be a crowd of people, and some of them looked familiar to him.
"Why is there someone here?" Little Lei also noticed the same thing. He looked up and was surprised when he saw who it was.
Some people from the crowd walked towards the lake. They stood by the lake and looked at the newcomers on the lake, asking in an aggressive tone, "Which family are you from?"
“Which family?” Xue Fanxin was confused. He temporarily ignored them and planned to go ashore first.
However, when he swam to the edge, people did not allow him to go out.
"If you don't tell us your family, you can stay in the lake."
"What do you mean?"
“They should have asked which family we have. There were four great families in the City of Heavenly Saints. They are most likely from four large families.”
Ye Jiushang had already guessed the other party's identity. He then recalled Ruying and the accompanying investigation.
Recently, the four great families of the Heavenly Saint City had sent people to the Red Maple Forest to explore, but none of them had returned.
Presumably, the people on the edge were from the four great clans who had come to the Red Maple Forest.
Ha.. This problem is getting interesting.
