0318 Light Gate
"I don't know, I'm here when I wake up, I don't know what this is, I don't know who I am, and I don't know why I'm here. ”
The mermaid hugged her head in distress, revealing the seductive style on her chest, which made Ding Ning's mouth dry for a while.
With a "bang", Luoxue woke up slowly, blinking her confused eyes, and after seeing the mermaid clearly, she was not only not afraid, but also eager to take her as a spiritual pet.
The frightened Ding Ning hurriedly held her in his arms to stop her from moving, lest she provoke this unfathomable mermaid without knowing the severity, who knows what strange skills she has, if she devours the soul of the falling snow, he will not have time to cry.
"Brother, what a beautiful mermaid, but why is the tail black?"
Luoxue tilted her head and looked at the mermaid curiously, looking salivating.
Ding Ning patted her buttocks angrily: "Don't move, I'm asking her about the situation." ”
Instead, he asked with his spiritual power, "Beautiful mermaid, haven't you explored this place, and why do you eat souls?"
"Soul, what is the soul?"
The mermaid blinked her big pure and flawless eyes, and her face was ignorant.
"It's the phantom you just ate. ”
Ding Ning gestured, trying to make her understand, but secretly the muscles all over her body were tense, ready to attack, and once she tore her face, she would strike first.
"Oh!" the mermaid showed a sudden look, rubbed her flat lower abdomen without a trace of fat, and pursed her small mouth aggrievedly: "Because I'm hungry, I don't know how long I've been here, I haven't eaten, I can only eat in this way, otherwise I would have starved to death." ”
"Ugh!"
Ding Ning was speechless at this explanation, it's always right for people to be hungry and eat, although he felt that devouring souls was evil, but in the face of the innocent eyes of the mermaid, he couldn't say the big truth.
"Sister mermaid, will you eat us when you're hungry?"
Well, Ding Luoxue is still so ...... was innocent, such a taboo question was asked so directly, which made Ding Ning break out in a cold sweat, lest the mermaid turn his face and eat them directly as food.
He regretted teaching Luoxue to refine the gods, otherwise she would not have used her spiritual power to communicate and destroy the good situation of stability and harmony in front of her.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became depressed, and a cold sweat broke out on Ding Ning's nervous back, and the whole person was like a cheetah staring at food, attacking at any time.
"Eat you?"
The mermaid blinked in confusion: "How do you eat food if it's not food?"
Ding Ning was relieved, okay, fortunately, if this mermaid didn't tell a lie, it means that she can only devour the souls of the newly dead creatures, but not the souls of the living, then he will be relieved.
"Besides, I don't know how long I've been here alone, and it's too late for me to be happy that you've come to be my company. ”
The mermaid showed a sweet smile, like a flower blooming, which was so beautiful that Ding Ning's eyes straightened.
But then he realized the current situation from the mermaid's words, I don't know how high this fall is, and there is this weird gravity, how can I fly back later?
Ding Luoxue seemed to realize this, frowned and said, "Are there any other exits here?"
"I don't know, I can only move around here. ”
The mermaid said with some sadness, opening her mouth to blow at the dark river below her, and the river magically parted to both sides, revealing the dark bottom of the river.
Ding Ning's eyes froze, and his face showed pity, the mermaid's huge tail was actually pierced by the eight chains fixed on both sides of the river, restricting her freedom, and the shocking wounds caused by the eight chains alone made him feel so painful.
Luo Xue seemed to recall her tragic experience, and her distressed tears were about to fall: "Sister Mermaid, don't you hurt? Who is so ruthless to treat you like this?"
The mermaid blinked her big clear eyes: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt so much after eating, I don't know who locked me here, I've been here since I woke up." ”
"How long has it been?" Ding Ning's heart and liver were trembling, compared to the crime that Luo Xue suffered at the beginning, this mermaid was not inferior to her at all, which made him feel a little distressed inexplicably.
"I don't know, it's been a long time. ”
The mermaid didn't seem to have a sense of time, so she picked up her clumsy and cute white jade finger and counted her fingers, and later found that ten fingers didn't seem to be counting, so she shook her head in distress and gave up counting time.
Ding Ning's heart trembled, poor mermaid, I don't know how long I stayed alone in the dark space, relying on singing to hunt food to replenish energy.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that her soul-devouring behavior is understandable, after all, even if she wants to eat meat, she can't eat it, and her range of activity can only be in the dark river.
"Brother, let's help her, she's so pitiful!"
Falling Snow shook Ding Ning's arm and begged with tears.
She didn't say it, Ding Ning also had this intention, and immediately nodded and said, "Mermaid, do you want to leave here?
"Get out of here, of course I want to, but ......."
A gloomy color flashed in the mermaid's pearl-like eyes: "I can't do without it, this iron chain is very hard, and it can't be made at all!"
"I'll try!"
Ding Ning didn't think so, after all, the mermaid was weak and weak, and he was confident that he could use brute force to break the chain.
"Really?"
The merfolk had a look of anticipation on their faces.
"It should be fine. ”
Ding Ning said, he had already walked to him, reached out and grabbed the iron chain and twisted it hard......
This chain looks like an ordinary chain, but Ding Ning noticed its abnormality as soon as he started it.
I don't know what material this iron chain is made of, not only is it extremely heavy, but it also exudes a cold aura, which makes him shiver.
Ding Ning didn't believe in evil and tried again, but even though the blue tendons on his forehead flared up, his face turned red, and he even used the strength to eat milk, and the chain still had no response.
The luster of hope in the mermaid's eyes dimmed little by little, and he said with a forced smile: "It's okay, I'm used to it anyway." ”
"Right...... I'm sorry, I'm not going to get this chain. ”
Ding Ning lowered his head and said guiltily, he had no shame to face the mermaid's bright eyes, but he quickly raised his head and said firmly: "Give me some time, I will definitely find a way to rescue you." ”
Looking at Ding Ning's resolute eyes, the mermaid showed a sweet smile: "I believe in you!"
"Brother, isn't there a way?"
Seeing that Ding Ning, who had always been omnipotent, had no choice, Luo Xue asked unwillingly.
"We've got to find a way to get out first and get some tools, and a little bit of cutting can cut the chain. ”
Ding Ning gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
"Well, brother will definitely be able to rescue the mermaid sister. ”
Falling Snow has an innate affinity for the mermaid and is bent on saving her.
"Yes, definitely. ”
Ding Ning rubbed Luoxue's head and promised as if he had sworn an oath.
The mermaid looked at the intimacy of the two with a look of envy in her eyes.
"Merfolk, we're going to go out and prepare some things first, and when we come back with our tools, we'll be able to get you out. ”
Ding Ning said confidently.
"You ...... Are you leaving?"
The luster in the mermaid's eyes dimmed suddenly, and she said reluctantly.
"Brother, why don't I stay with Sister Mermaid, you find your way out, and come to us again, okay?" ”
Luoxue said a little unbearably.
"This ...... Well, what if there's no other way out?"
Ding Ning really didn't worry about leaving the falling snow here, although she felt that the mermaid was very pitiful, but who knew if she would eat the falling snow when she was hungry.
"It's okay, the empty wings are with me, if there is no other way, don't you have to come back?"
Luoxue was very resolute and insisted on staying.
"Do you have anything to eat?"
Ding Ning secretly thought that there were air wings where they were, and they could change their perspective at any time, and there should be no problem with the safety of falling snow, the only thing he was worried about was that he didn't know how big it was here, what if he got lost?
"Yes, I just picked a lot of wild fruits outside, and I came here before I had time to eat them. ”
Luoxue took out a large handful of wild fruits from her bag as if she was showing off, and it was hard for this girl to hold on to the bag that Ding Ning gave her even if she was confused.
Seeing that Ding Ning was still a little uneasy, Luo Xue pointed to the minced meat of the pair of insects and beasts on the ground: "I bring a fire, even if the wild fruit is eaten, I can still roast and eat it." ”
Ding Ning then remembered that Luoxue had lived a dark underground life for three years, and it should not be easy for her to starve to death, so he immediately stopped hesitating, "Okay, I'll go find the way now, you just wait for me here, don't leave if I don't come back." ”
"Well, don't worry, brother, you pay attention to your own safety, in case there is really no food, isn't there still a mermaid sister?
Luo Xue was also a little reluctant in her heart, but she still smiled to dispel Ding Ning's concerns.
Ding Ning wanted to warn the mermaid, but looking at her innocent and ignorant eyes, she couldn't say anything threatening, so she could only give instructions to the three empty wings to protect the falling snow in her spirit and strode forward.
After leaving that black land, Ding Ning only felt relieved, and the whole person felt as light as a swallow.
When you find a way out, you must study the black earth carefully to see why there is such a terrible gravity, which is enough to withstand ten times the gravity on the ground.
As he walked farther and farther, Ding Ning found that this space seemed to be an extremely wide corridor, as if there was no boundary, which made him gradually a little anxious.
The most terrifying thing is that it is very quiet here, there is not even the sound of insects and ants, and there are no plants, and there are barren everywhere, which makes people feel uneasy.
Ding Ning didn't remember how long he had been walking, and when even the spiritual imprint began to become blurry, his eyes were dark, and he actually came to the end, but fortunately, there was a light gate at the end of the endless road.
Ding Ning stared at the light gate, hesitating in his heart, this light gate is very weird, it is not touched by the world, it is erected in the space out of thin air, giving him a very mysterious feeling.
But now that he has no way to retreat, this light gate is the only hope, no matter what, Ding Ning gritted his teeth and took a step towards the light gate.
A dizzy feeling of weightlessness came, Ding Ning was shocked, and before he could react, he found that the light gate was flooded with ripples like water waves, and he slammed his feet on the ground.
Ding Ning looked at it, only to see that the space was only dozens of square meters in size, the space was empty, except for a tall and more than three feet tall, hideous, strange-shaped monster statue, there was no other way out, the surrounding walls were all made of heavy granite, and there was no hope of breaking the wall.
This made him suddenly disappointed, is the only way to go out is the way to come in? Forget it, go back and find a way to see if you can fly back.
Sighing, when he turned around and was about to return the same way, Ding Ning's face changed drastically, the light gate when he came had disappeared, and behind him was a bare wall, all made of hard granite.
