Bamboo horse is a world-weary male protagonist

"I'm fine, don't worry about me," Gu Xi summoned Po Kong to stand with He Chengyuan after a brief moment of shock.

The sound of the stones being crushed was deafening, the whole mountain was shaking constantly, and the stone surface under the feet even cracked tortoise-like cracks.

"The white-armored ground spider is hitting the mountain?" Gu Xi poured spiritual power into his whole body, managed to maintain his balance, and turned his head to ask He Chengyuan.

"I don't know." The fact that Gu Xi was injured made He Chengyuan's heart surge with hostility, and his irritability rose uncontrollably.

"Doudou, you wait for me here, I'll go out and lure that spider away," He Chengyuan's expression was really not good, there were obvious shadows between the eyebrows and the sides of the nose.

Gu Xi shook her head and refused: "Let's go together, it's too dangerous for you to deal with it alone."

He Chengyuan was about to refuse, but the attack of the gravel became more violent, so that he couldn't even find room to speak.

The original rustling footsteps became louder and louder, and it sounded like there were at least a hundred people marching like an army.

There are really people!

And a lot!

Gu Xi and He Chengyuan looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

The stench is getting stronger and stronger, and the footsteps are getting closer...

Unknown dangers and urgent situations have to be judged and dealt with at this moment.

"Doudou, listen to me," He Chengyuan's slender fingers clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, and He Chengyuan's voice was cold, and when he listened carefully, he faintly revealed suppressed anger and murderous intent.

He stepped forward with long legs and stood in front of Gu Xi, his arms stretched naturally to protect Gu Xi behind him.

"The sudden sound of footsteps came from an unknown source. These large-scale attacking stones must have been used to cover the slingstones they successfully entered."

"It's the best choice to have one person to restrain you in the open and one person to support you in the dark."

He Chengyuan's eyes under the black hair were cold, but there was a gentleness that he couldn't notice in the words he said: "Doudou, your longbow | long | spear | is good at long-distance attack, it's best to stay in the dark to support .”

The boy in white stood in the middle of a messy hole, the dim stone hole concealed his delicate facial features.

Raising his head, his amber eyes looked in Gu Xi's direction, clean and gentle.

"I'll stop in front..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Xi saw in his vision not only did not listen to his advice to hide back, but ran out quickly, leaving only the round back of his head.

He Chengyuan: "..."

"This stone cave doesn't even have a back door, so what's the use of ambushing me? If I get attacked, won't I be blocked inside?"

Gu Xi ran up to He Chengyuan in a few steps, and while dancing through the sky, tilted his head with one hand on his hip, and stuck out his tongue at He Chengyuan mischievously: "I know you are worried about me, but I am also worried about you, how could it be possible?" Put you in the front."

"Doudou, do you know that it's really dangerous now?" He Chengyuan raised his voice uncontrollably, clenching his teeth.

"With so many chaotic footsteps, and these rocks trying to kill us, I'm sure these people who are coming here now are not the gentlemen who came to save us."

"Let's not talk about how so many people came here, just say that so many people squeezed into such a small cave at one breath, even if each of them just threw a punch, the defense alone is enough to exhaust us to death."

Even just thinking about this possibility, He Chengyuan felt that his breathing was stagnant, and his chest was so tight that he ached: "Doudo, while I'm blocking these people in front, hurry up and penetrate the mountain from behind, as long as you can escape Go and live."

"obedient!"

There was a momentary stalemate between the two without words, only the sound of chaotic footsteps became more deafening.

Gu Xi asked lightly: "He Chengyuan, what about you?"

He Chengyuan was startled for a moment: "I..."

"It doesn't matter what I do."

Seeing that He Chengyuan pursed his lips tightly and looked at him with stubborn eyes, Gu Xi grinned, ran back a few steps with a narrowed smile, held the man's hand and ran forward together: "You don't care, I have The so-called, you are my best friend, I can't let you stand in front of me."

Gu Xi chuckled: "Besides, He Chengyuan, can you be more optimistic, who said we will definitely die?"

He patted his small chest with his hand back, and said narcissistically: "I have never lost in a fight."

"Let's go together!"

Grabbed by the soft and warm palm, He Chengyuan followed Gu Xi's footsteps and ran forward, the little resistance on his stiff body disappeared.

The stench became stronger and stronger as the two children ran out.

"Snapped--!"

A glowing night pearl was bounced high, Gu Xi and He Chengyuan looked at the surrounding scene with the help of the faint light, and couldn't help but gasp.

The cave was filled with countless people, and stones were being thrown in their direction.

After these people threw out the stones in their hands, they would bend down to pick up new stones again. If they couldn't find any stones, they would grab something and throw it in their direction.

Some even stretched out their hands and twisted off the head of the person in front of them, and some pulled off one of their own arms with their backhands.

Everyone had terrified expressions on their faces, and their limbs danced uncontrollably, approaching their hiding place step by step.

The transparent silk thread wrapped around the joints of the crowd reflected a faint light under the illumination of the night pearl, which was cold and weird.

It's the silk of the white-armed ground spider!

"Bang-!"

Gu Xi threw the flying throw.

The brilliantly colored night pearls shattered all over the place, crackling and turning into fine powder.

The inside of the cave was pitch black again, and the figures of Gu Xi and He Chengyuan were completely hidden.

"Help me—!"

"Someone help me—!"

I don't know who suddenly yelled loudly, so the originally silent crowd immediately burst into continuous cries for help.

"Help me—!"

"Help me—!"

"We were caught by a big spider, who will save us!"

"I didn't mean to kill someone, I can't control my movements at all, and I don't know what I'm doing!"

"Kill me, please kill me, I really hurt, I really can't help it!"

"My feet, my feet seem to be corroded, ahhh!"

The shrill screams intertwined into a life-threatening hymn, echoing in the mid-air eeriely and mournfully.

Gu Xi and He Chengyuan held hands tightly together.

The sweat oozing from the palms was cold and wet.

They underestimated the strength of this white armored spider.

Ordinary animals in the process of chasing prey, if the prey escapes to a hiding place that is too narrow to enter, they usually choose to wander nearby first, trying to find a way to catch the prey, and then look for it after their patience is exhausted. next prey.

What Gu Xi and He Chengyuan needed was just this short period of wandering.

After all, Zhuoyu Tower is not too far from here.

Even including the time for Rong Yu to explain the truth to the gentlemen, plus the time for the gentlemen to prepare for killing the white-armored ground spider in one fell swoop, it will not exceed half an hour at most.

In such a short period of time, most predators will not lose interest in the close proximity of prey.

What's more, they teamed up to poke and blind one eye of the white-armored spider just now, and the white-armored spider has no reason to leave easily and let them go free.

Can……

The white-armored ground spider would hunt more people, and use the spider silk to control the crowd into the cave to hunt them down. This was something Gu Xi and He Chengyuan never expected.

This has completely exceeded the level of intelligence that an ordinary demon insect should have.

Cruel, decisive, witty, and will do anything to kill them.

It is simply unheard of, unseen!

Gu Xi and He Chengyuan knew in their hearts that the dark environment could only protect them for a while, and it was impossible for them to hide in it for a lifetime.

Constantly waving and twisting arms, continuous and approaching footsteps, the crowd who couldn't break free from the shackles of the spider silk desperately crowded, and forcibly cast a huge poisonous web with their bodies in the narrow cave.

Once it is surrounded and swallowed, it is doomed to perish and fall into Abi forever.

Feeling the slight tremor of the palms held together, Gu Xi tilted her head slightly, looking in He Chengyuan's direction.

The long and narrow peach eyes, the high nose bridge, and the thin lips make people think of the ice and snow in the mountains or the cool moonlight in the forest. In short, they are something very mysterious and deserted.

It was the beauty that the senior sisters of Qianqingzong would blush with embarrassment every time they saw her, and talk about it in secret.

Calm, smart, and harder than him.

It was his best friend who secretly swore to protect him for the rest of his life.

Gu Xi didn't know what she was thinking.

In one day, two life and death crises.

Death was so close to him that Gu Xi couldn't help but start to panic.

No matter how brave he is, he is just a ten-year-old boy.

Gu Xi wanted to ask He Chengyuan what they should do?

I want to ask if they are going to die here today?

Do people go to hell after they die?

He had never done anything bad, didn't he need to be punished horribly?

Sweat was streaming down his face, his face was red, his mind was in a mess, and he even started to have a dull pain.

The teeth bit down on the lower lip to produce a bloody mark with a gap, without even realizing it.

"He Chengyuan, me," Gu Xi was about to say something, when He Chengyuan suddenly flipped his wrist, his five fingers were like hooks, and after clasping his life gate, he was thrown back fiercely.

The spider silk puppet like a tide swallowed He Chengyuan in an instant.

"He Chengyuan!"

Gu Xi yelled He Chengyuan's name loudly, but her immature childish voice was completely lost in the crowd.

No response.

His body backed up uncontrollably, with the wind buzzing beside his ears, he stared blankly at the direction where He Chengyuan was engulfed, his face was pale, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Countless voices reverberated in my mind——

"How could this be?"

"He Chengyuan won't die, will he?"

"Why am I still so weak?"

"Am I not trying hard enough?"

"Why can't I save He Chengyuan, or protect him?"

The boy's clear eyes gradually became dull.

His lifeless vision pierced through the crowd, through the stone wall, through everything, looking at an illusory place that no one knew.

Gu Xi's lips parted slightly, and she murmured in a low voice, her voice was slightly hoarse, which was completely different from the original clear and bright child's voice.

Very slowly, very slowly, repeating the same name over and over again.

"He Chengyuan..."

The voice is as light as the wind, slowly drifting away.

The wailing cry for help stopped abruptly, the chaotic footsteps disappeared strangely, and the crowd who were desperately twisting and struggling suddenly stopped still. Everything seemed to be controlled by a magical force and stopped at this moment.

Only Gu Xi's small palm slowly lifted up, and a cluster of dazzling flames ignited in the palm.

"boom--!"

A huge explosion sounded loudly.

The air waves rolled, and the flames shot up into the sky.

The ink-colored characters hidden in the dark ran away like rats and insects, collapsing the whole world.
