Chapter 71


Since entering the gray mist, Cheng Nuo was shocked to find that the nerves all over his body seemed to be paralyzed and he couldn’t move. That magical beast Bi Feng was also like a kite with a broken string, involuntarily rolling in the gray mist.


Its wings dazed Cheng Nuo, and it flew far away, but closer to the unconscious Bai Rui.


He desperately wanted to call Bai Rui’s name. His mouth wriggled a few times, but he couldn’t make a sound, and he could only feel in horror as their falling speed became faster and faster.


The gray mist seemed to be endless. After Cheng Nuo’s initial panic and fear, he finally calmed down.


He didn’t even think about how dangerous this sealed land was or what they would encounter. He looked at Bai Rui intently; the touch of Bai Rui’s lips seemed to remain on his forehead, and his heart was sour and bitter.


Were the two of them going to die together? Landing together headfirst really did not look good…


A burst of light suddenly appeared in front of him, Cheng Nuo quickly looked down, and was horrified to find that there was a dense blade of sharp ice below, which was already close at hand!


f.u.c.k, it wasn’t enough to have their heads turned upside down, they also had to be hung up and die?


Bai Rui, who was unconscious, seemed to feel the approaching danger, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to embrace Cheng Nuo and turned around, blocking him under his body.


There was a sound of ice breaking, and the two of them fell heavily to the ground under the huge impact.


Cheng Nuo’s pupils shrank suddenly, his lips trembled and he looked at Bai Rui under him, his brain blank.


Just now, Bai Rui stretched out his hand to hold him in the air, but he was pierced by those ice edges.


He looked at four or five sharp ice edges protruding from Bai Rui’s chest and abdomen with a large amount of blood. For a moment, his heart seemed to stop.


Bai Rui’s hands were still pushing his chest. The corners of his mouth were full of blood, but his face was very peaceful, as if there was no pain.


Cheng Nuo gasped sharply and big tears fell down the corners of his eyes on Bai Rui’s face, mixed with the blood. It was really b.l.o.o.d.y and tearful.


“Bai Rui!” Cheng Nuo was finally able to make some sounds, but his throat was hoa.r.s.e.


He used all his strength to knock away the ice edges on his side, rolled down and knelt on Bai Rui’s side, desperately using wood energy to stop Bai Rui’s bleeding, not daring to touch the ice edges at all, afraid to make Bai Rui more painful.


He’d never had such strong feelings for a person that he simply wanted him to melt into his own bones, live and die with him, and never part.


Cheng Nuo held his breath and treated Bai Rui. He looked at his face without blinking. As long as Bai Rui could wake up, he would be happy to exchange his life… The elemental energy of his whole body had been exhausted. He was still half kneeling beside Bai Rui, and his whole body was numb with cold.


But Bai Rui remained motionless. His chest didn’t even rise and fall. Cheng Nuo was frightened and carefully probed his pulse. He suddenly became extremely desperate.


The tear marks on his face dried up, becoming painful in the cold temperature, and his hands and feet were frozen stiff, but the location of his heart was colder and more painful than anywhere, as if it was poured in by the wind of h.e.l.l and crushed by the ice blade.


“Bai Rui, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d…” He couldn’t shed tears anymore, and murmured, “Don’t you f.u.c.king dare to die!”


He collapsed on Bai Rui’s side, greedily watching his face, his cold and stiff hand holding Bai Rui’s equally cold and stiff hand with difficulty.


His mind was empty, but his mouth kept moving, whispering words that he might never say.


“Laozi will die with you, I’m just worried about Liu Guang… I like you too, I like you very much…”


“I thought it might be possible to pay you back in the next life, but now how do you want Laozi to pay it back? If you run into me, you only have bad luck…”


“You have to walk slowly on Huangquan Road and wait for me. I’m not as fast as you…”


“Laozi is actually dying of jealousy! Did you go to the bridal chamber with that wife of yours or not…?”


He kept talking and his voice was already as light as a mosquito.


“So noisy.” A weak and familiar voice suddenly interrupted his whisper.


Cheng Nuo’s heart jumped heavily, his whole body trembled, and he looked at Bai Rui in disbelief.


Bai Rui’s eyes were still tightly closed but his lips clearly moved again, and he spat out two words with difficulty: “Don’t cry.”


Cheng Nuo fiercely bit on his dry frozen lips to make sure he was not hallucinating, and the strength that had disappeared all over his body seemed to come back at once.


He quickly climbed up with difficulty, only to find that the ice blades piercing Bai Rui actually disappeared, and Bai Rui’s wounds miraculously did not bleed. He quickly breathed into his frozen hands and carefully probed Bai Rui’s pulse to make sure it was indeed starting to beat. He was so excited that he wanted to jump up and down, and his heart was overjoyed to the core.


He held Bai Rui’s head in his arms, whispering his name over and over again, but Bai Rui never woke up, nor did he make more sounds.


Only now did Cheng Nuo have the heart to look around, and was surprised to find that at the end of the icy land, there was actually a high mountain green forest. But there was no sunshine in this sealed land, and the scenery was covered with a layer of gray. The green forest also looked eerily gray.


The Bi Feng was also injured when it fell and was suppressed by the power of the sealed land. At this time, it reverted to a small sparrow-sized state, crouching weakly at Bai Rui’s feet.


Cheng Nuo touched its head, stuffed it into his chest lapel, then carefully wrapped Bai Rui in another suit of clothes, and carried him up on his back.


Although this ice edges were dense, if you were careful, you could squeeze out through the gaps. Cheng Nuo looked in the direction of the green forest and walked forward cautiously.


It looked close in view, but it was actually far away. Cheng Nuo kept walking and stumbling, not knowing where his strength came from. He knew how long he had been walking. The sealed land seemed to be able to suppress the use of elemental energy, and his physical energy could flow less than a tenth of the usual.


Although it was very difficult to walk, there was unspeakable joy in his heart. Despite the fact that their surroundings were extremely cold, the place where the two of them touched was indescribably warm and comfortable. Bai Rui’s heart was beating, still alive…


This fact made him not think about the troubles he might face in the future, but only concentrate on the road ahead.


Finally seeing the edge, Cheng Nuo was overjoyed, and adjusted Bai Rui a little bit, increasing his walking speed.


Just before his joy pa.s.sed, he saw a giant living creature swimming not far away, and the blood all over his body froze!


It was a silver-gray adult ice snake with a length of nearly ten meters. A pair of red eyes on its huge triangular head were staring at them, constantly spitting out its long forked tongue.


Cheng Nuo didn’t dare to move, but just hugged Bai Rui’s legs tightly. The one that Bai Zhi brought back then was less than half the length of this snake, and it was already so powerful…


If you are entangled by this kind of snake, you will freeze to death if you’re not swallowed!


There was also a slight swimming sound on the right. Cheng Nuo looked over stiffly, s.h.i.t, two more ice snakes!


He gasped sharply. The three ice snakes kept looking in his direction. What should he do now?


A few more ice snakes came out of nowhere, and now there were ten or so! Cheng Nuo looked at the giant mollusks swimming not far away and felt that he was going to suffocate!


After a stalemate, Cheng Nuo finally realized that their target did not seem to be him.


Those ice snakes slowly gathered together, forming a huge spherical body, almost like a small mountain.


Cheng Nuo was dumbfounded, feeling like his eyes were going blind – f.u.c.k, so ice snakes didn’t hibernate at all, or was it still their estrus period? He didn’t want to see their two tintins or something!


He took a deep breath, carefully bypa.s.sed the snakes tangled together, and jogged all the way around to the other side of the hill to climb up.


It seemed this sealed land was very dangerous; he must be careful everywhere!


The green forest was not so cold, but it was very quiet, and from time-to-time strange sounds could be heard, making his heart worried. Out of ten plants, six or seven he had never seen; Cheng Nuo could only rely on instinct to avoid those that seemed dangerous.


The ground was covered in gravel, weeds coming up to his knees. A careless Cheng Nuo slipped and fell, and Bai Rui fell on his back, making him almost breathless.


He grumbled and complained, got up again with difficulty, carrying Bai Rui on his back, and continued to walk forward.


The snakes were still mating, and when they finished, they would be hungry and probably look for food, so the further away from there the better!


There seemed to be no night here. After a long time, the sky was still the same unchanging gray. Cheng Nuo look behind; they were already far away from that ice edge. He stopped panting and jumped on a big tree with Bai Rui on his back.


Bi Feng was well-behaved and clever. It shrank in his chest lapel for a long time without saying a word. Its small body was quite warm.


Cheng Nuo’s whole body collapsed and got Bai Rui in his arms into a comfortable position. He lovingly touched the corners of Bai Rui’s lips and the dried blood clots on his body. Although Bai Rui’s wounds were gone, the torn holes in his clothes were a clear reminder of the injuries Bai Rui had suffered for him. He put his ears close to Bai Rui’s chest, determining that it was beating firmly, and his heart gradually settled down.


The physical exertion was too much. Cheng Nuo took out a gourd with water from his storage bag and wanted to feed Bai Rui some water, but after whispering for a long time. Bai Rui still didn’t respond. He had to drink it himself first, then took a few pieces of dried meat from the storage bag, wolfed it down, and handed some to Bi Feng on his chest.


His strength recovered a little. Cheng Nuo took out a soft cloth and dipped it in water to wipe Bai Rui’s hands and face. After a little hesitation, he was ready to change Bai Rui’s ragged and bloodstained clothes.


They were both men, what was there to be afraid of ah!


With such encouragement in his heart, Cheng Nuo pulled open Bai Rui’s lapels in a hurry, but when he saw the white as jade solid chest and collarbone, his head buzzed and his face was hot.


He hurriedly stopped and arranged Bai Rui’s collar to cover it, but his breathing was disordered.


Unscientific. It was bulls.h.i.t to blush when seeing a man’s body ah!


Let Bai Rui be dirty.


Cheng Nuo was very tired, but he didn’t dare to sleep at all. He continued to carry Bai Rui to find a safe place. He didn’t know when Bai Rui would wake up and, before that, he must take good care of him.


He watched with his own eyes as a flower wrapped a giant magical beast in it and also saw the magical beast just swallow a small magical beast before a bigger one pounced on it and bit its hind legs.


He gritted his teeth and carefully walked from above the trees and finally found a cave in a hidden place.


As a precaution, Cheng Nuo sp.a.w.ned a vine, put a large piece of meat at the top of it, and slowly stretched the tip of the vine to the inside of the cave.


After a long time, he slowly retracted, the piece of meat still intact.


Cheng Nuo sighed with relief. He remembered that high level magical beasts were very humane and perceptive, so he pulled out Bi Feng and asked in a low voice: “Is it safe here?”


The Bi Feng’s small green bean-like eyes glanced at him weakly, but its head still drooped.


It could not express its discomfort, and its five senses suppressed by this sealed land were almost lost.


Cheng Nuo had to stuff it back into his chest. This was Bai Rui’s magical beast; he looked at this Bi Feng lovingly.


He took a deep breath and decided to carry Bai Rui to explore.


The cave was very dim, and his current elemental energy was not enough for him to see things. Cheng Nuo could only hold a lighting artifact in his mouth and move slowly inside along the stone wall. When he suddenly met a pair of yellow eyes the size of a copper bell, he was so shocked that he almost screamed. There was actually a high-level magical beast here!


He held his breath, holding his knife tightly in his hand on guard, but his cheeks were already sore, and the lighting artifact in his mouth fell to the ground with a bang and rolled around twice. With this sound, a gust of fishy wind had already come forward!


Cheng Nuo did not think much about it and slashed it with a loud shout.


But unexpectedly, the magical beast did not attack him, but rushed past him, scurried outside and disappeared. Cheng Nuo drew back his hand dumbfoundedly, and his heart still jumped violently.


It took a long time before he moved his soft legs and searched the cave again. After confirming that there were no other monsters, he sat down with Bai Rui in his arms, puzzled. He probed out to take a look and it seemed like the magical beast was not nearby.


Along the way was indeed very strange. Some high-level magical beasts had found them, but did not attack…


He couldn’t think of the reason and Cheng Nuo also didn’t want to. There was a strong fishy smell of wild beasts in the cave, which made people almost faint. He put the lighting artifact away, quickly took out some aromatic spiritual herbs from the storage bag to purify the air, and then spread the bedding from the storage bag on a flat place, and put Bai Rui on it.


Bai Rui was still completely unconscious. Cheng Nuo moved a large stone with difficulty to block the entrance of the cave, and his nerves that had been tense finally relaxed.


He exhaled a sigh of relief and lay down next to Bai Rui, so tired that he didn’t want to move, and soon fell asleep.


He slept until the hunger in his stomach woke up Cheng Nuo. He touched Bai Rui’s hand in confusion and immediately awoke, quickly sitting up.


Because the entrance of the cave was blocked with stones, it was very dark. Cheng Nuo turned on the lighting artifact.


He carefully checked Bai Rui first. Bai Rui’s breathing and pulse were normal, and there seemed to be no trace of the original injury in his body, but he just didn’t wake up for some reason.


Cheng Nuo sighed and fumbled for something to eat.


There was still a faint smell of blood on Bai Rui’s body. Cheng Nuo pondered for a while, then turned off the lighting artifact, and fumbled to take off Bai Rui’s clothes.


Anyway, he couldn’t see it anymore, so it shouldn’t matter, right? Bai Rui loved cleanliness so much, wearing these b.l.o.o.d.y clothes was inappropriate…


His hand accidentally touched the naked skin on Bai Rui’s back, seeming to have felt something cold and hard that resembled scales, and was startled. He quickly turned on the lighting artifact again, and then he was shocked.
