today i died again

The door on the first floor was opened, and what Cheng Erqing saw was a large room with no end in sight.

On the floor of the room, densely piled up are eerie bones.

Xia Yu held Cheng Erqing's hand.

"...Thank you." Cheng Erqing said gratefully to Xia Yu.

If Xia Yu didn't shake his hand for a second, he should have reached out to shake Xia Yu's hand immediately after.

There are too many bones in this room, which made him dizzy. If the system map hadn't shown that the fairy pen was at a certain point in the room, he would have rushed out the door as soon as he entered.

Don't tell him that a man is not afraid of anything.

He is not the kind of man who is not afraid of anything.Not human enough.

Hahahaha.

After self-consolation, Cheng Erqing mustered up the courage to move forward.

"Wait a moment."

Xia Yu said and waved her hand lightly.

A gust of wind blows, and the bones of the house are gone.

"If the restriction here is still there, these bones will turn into soldiers to block the invaders. They don't feel pain. Unless they are burned to ashes by the fire, otherwise even if they are broken into bones, they can quickly reorganize and continue fighting."

Xia Yu said lightly.

"Let me just say, it's impossible to put these things here just to scare people. It's really useful. But—fortunately, you are here."

Cheng Erqing said with a smile.Following a sudden reaction, he let go of Xia Yu's hand.

His hands were sweating again, obviously Xia Yu's hands were always chilly, but as soon as he touched Xia Yu, he would be so nervous that he would sweat, and he didn't know what was wrong.

Too much trouble for Xia Yu.

Xia Yu glanced down at Cheng Erqing's hand which was wiping sweat with the corner of his clothes, fell silent for a moment, and then said lightly:

"Walk."

With a wave of his hand, the teleportation technique was activated, and one person and one demon came to the end of the room in the next instant.

"Do you know which one it is?"

Xia Yu looked at the nine boxes placed in the middle of the altar. Not only did they look exactly the same, but they were also made of materials that could isolate divine sense detection. Which box inside is filled with fairy pens.

Obviously, out of the nine boxes here, eight fake ones are connected to traps or traps, so if you get it wrong, it could be deadly.

"this."

Cheng Erqing lived up to what Xia Yu thought, pointed to one of the boxes and said to him without hesitation.

Great.

so amazing.

Xia Yu could only sigh in this way.

He has never seen a mortal with a physique more like an ordinary person than Cheng Erqing, nor has he seen such a powerful "mortal" with so many supernatural powers.

Not at all personal.

But Cheng Erqing's body was obviously just the aura of a mortal, except for those seemingly powerful spells that appeared from time to time, for the rest of the time, he didn't look like a monk at all.

But—these are not important to him.

It doesn't matter who Cheng Erqing is, what his background is, and what he wants to do.He just needs to know that Cheng Erqing saved him and did a lot for him.

He, Xia Yu, owed Cheng Erqing, so the other things didn't matter.

"Hey, let me see what the fairy pen looks like."

As he said that, Cheng Erqing reached out to get the box, not wanting to be blocked by Xia Yu.

"There may be an agency, let me do it." Xia Yu said.

This box contains the world's most important treasures, so naturally not only those few top-level restrictions are counted.So there's a good chance there's still a trap or two waiting.Cheng Erqing, a guy who looks really weak, may not be able to avoid some unexpected situation when the time comes.

It would be safer for him to come.

Cheng Erqing chuckled, "You are so kind to me. Please come and get it."

Saying this, he also retreated to hide behind Xia Yu, but it was not very far, almost standing next to Xia Yu, watching Xia Yu's move eagerly.

He also wanted to see that legendary pen for the first time.

Xia Yu waved her right hand lightly, and the wind passed by, and the box was opened by the wind.

There is no backstabbing, no darts, no venom, and no traps.

A writing brush full of radiance lies quietly at the bottom of the box, shining faintly in the dimly lit room.

Xia Yu, who expected nothing from the trap mechanism for a long time, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Cheng Erqing didn't pay attention to Xia Yu's mental activities, but when he saw the pen, he became excited.

"Wow! Looks good!"

It looks a hundred times better than a highlighter.

Xia Yu tried her best to calm down the unnatural embarrassment in her heart, stepped forward, and reached for the pen.

Looking back, Cheng Erqing, who was staring at the pen, seemed to be shining brightly in his eyes.

It hurt his eyes.

"I'll touch it, okay?"

Cheng Erqing stretched out his hand towards Xia Yu, begging.

Xia Yu silently handed the pen to Cheng Erqing.

Cheng Erqing smiled and stretched out his hand to catch it.

Just when Cheng Erqing held the pen and Xia Yu was about to withdraw his hand, a drastic change occurred——

Two winds shot out from the end of the brush. Almost at the same time, Cheng Erqing took half a step forward and pushed Xia Yu away with a swipe of his hand.

One of the winds released a strange smoke, covering Xia Yu in it, unable to break free for a while.

Another gust of wind pierced into Cheng Erqing's shoulder, and then penetrated his body. The huge impact force flew him backwards, and finally hit the nearby wall directly. slide down.

Blood flowed down the wall all the way.

Xia Yu, who finally broke free from the fog, happened to see this scene, and her eyes turned red.He teleported and stretched out his hand, but he only had time to catch Cheng Erqing's almost slumped body.

"it's okay no problem……"

Grabbing Xia Yu's shoulder, Cheng Erqing, who barely stopped with Xia Yu's strength, coughed out the dirty blood from his mouth, and said so.

Xia Yu gritted her teeth tightly and did not speak, but with a quick movement of her hand, the blood hole on Cheng Erqing's shoulder was filled with magic.

He was careless——

The box is fine, the final mechanism is on the pen.The person who made the mechanism wanted to kill two birds with one stone, so it was triggered when two people touched the pen at the same time.

He didn't realize it? !

result--

"it's okay no problem!"

Cheng Erqing said it again, just wanting to comfort Xia Yu whose face was livid and eyes were red.

He had never seen Xia Yu like this before, Xia Yu who looked a bit like a big devil.

It was intimidating to watch, and it made him feel a little... pathetic.

Xia Yu's expression was like the hatred that the treasure she tried to protect was taken away by the intruder.

That kind of hatred is not only hating the intruder, but also hating oneself.

"It's just a small injury."

Thinking about it, Cheng Erqing patted Xia Yu on the shoulder and said.

It was a minor injury, at most two ribs were broken when he hit the wall just now, and there was a small hole in the shoulder pierced by the unknown wind, just bleeding a little, besides, didn't Xia Yu treat him well just now? ?So it really doesn't matter.

Anyway, he is about to complete the task in this world, after which he will be able to be a healthy and complete self, so no matter how many injuries he suffers now, it will not be a problem.

And it’s okay—the system reminded quickly just now, saying that the wind energy can even hurt the soul and body, and even though he hasn’t practiced many powerful skills at home for so many years, his reaction ability is really good, so he can give it to him so smoothly. Blocked the arrow that shot towards Xia Yu, otherwise, if Xia Yu was injured, he would not know what to do.

Fortunately, Xia Yu is fine.

By the way, speaking of missions—

When he was holding the fairy pen just now, the system seemed to say to him——

The rule of using the fairy pen is "one for one", right?

Realizing that he heard correctly, Cheng Erqing couldn't help clenching the pen in his hand.

"...Xia Yu, we have to go out now. It seems that the agency triggered the alarm at the Jimen just now. They should be coming soon."

Xia Yu's face was gloomy, and she said:

"When the alarm was triggered just now, the door of this secret room was closed. There is a forbidden spell inside the door. I probed it with my spiritual sense, and it cannot be opened from the inside unless someone from the Tribulation Period comes—so we have to find another way to do it." able to go out."

Cheng Erqing was silent and asked the system.

The system gave the answer, and told Cheng Erqing that he had set up some obstacles with the points he had accumulated in his previous daily work, so as to block the group of Jimen chasing soldiers.

After doing this, Cheng Erqing turned to look at Xia Yu with a confident expression.

"I can do it. But first, you have to do something with me."
