Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 90 Life and Death
After a brief check of the remaining supplies, Su Xiaoxi, Zhou Han, and Wang Bo's things didn't know where they fell.Fortunately, the equipment of me, Ling Xue and Sun Fuyuan are all specially made by the guild. Although it got wet, there is nothing missing.The remaining four smokeless stoves and five small cans of kerosene.One medicine box, more than 300 meters of cables, more than 30 kilograms of air-dried beef jerky, two jugs of fresh water, and three usable sleeping bags.Two flashlights, ten high-energy batteries.It sounds like a lot, but the problems we are facing now cannot be solved by relying on these equipment.

The most important thing is that there is no food and fresh water.We are now in an underground lake more than 400 meters deep underground.It is possible to be trapped here for a long time, and it is even impossible to get out at all.I didn't tell the others what we were trapped in, but I just took a rest here.In order to save kerosene, we only lit a smokeless stove.All the clothes were taken off and baked by the smokeless stove.

Ling Xue, Su Xiaoxi, and Wang Bo all slept soundly. Although I was tired all day, my mind was very messy.I wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, just when I was tossing and turning, I suddenly asked for a scent.This fragrance is really sudden, not the kind of smell that gradually becomes stronger, but like someone sprayed perfume in front of your nose.I sat up in shock and looked around to find the source of the fragrance.

When I looked up, I found that there was no one around, and an empty smokeless stove was burning there quietly.The clothes hanging to bake on the side were also gone.It was as if I just fell asleep and everyone else got up and left.I turned over strangely and stood up, looking around, the scent became more and more intense.At this time, I heard a cry for help coming from the water's edge.The voice was weak as if it could disappear at any moment.

I didn't care about where the others were going, and hurried to the place where the cry for help came from the water's edge.As soon as I got close, I realized that it was Qin Momo lying beside the water.At this time, half of her body had already climbed onto the shore, but it seemed that it was because she had no physical strength. After her body left sleep, it was difficult to climb up without buoyancy.

Although I wondered why Qin Momo suddenly appeared here, I still hurried over and pulled her up.She immediately hugged me tightly, and only then did I realize that Qin Momo's body was completely naked, and I was only wearing a pair of shorts because I hung all my clothes on the smokeless stove to dry.At this time, the naked delicate body suddenly entered my arms, and I suddenly felt a little bloody.

"Zhao Jue. Hold me tight." Qin Momo looked at me, his eyes glowing pink, I just felt dizzy and suddenly felt a sense of danger.Subconsciously, I wanted to push Qin Momo away, but I suddenly found that I couldn't push him away.Not only did Qin Momo hug me tightly with both hands, but the bottom was not a human body, but a snake tail!The huge snake tail entangled my body in one roll.I saw Qin Momo's mouth open at an unimaginable angle, full of barbed fangs.

"Ah!" I screamed subconsciously, and I felt a burst of darkness around me, and the next moment the light returned.I opened my eyes again, only to find that I was still lying in the same place, and a smokeless stove was burning quietly there.Only then did I realize that it was just a nightmare.I wanted to turn my body, but found that there was a pain of muscle tearing with a slight movement, and I groaned subconsciously.

As if hearing my voice, Lingxue hurriedly leaned over, "Zhao Jue, you're awake! Great! I thought you'd never wake up again."

As she said that, Ling Xue hugged me tightly, as if she was afraid that I would disappear if she let go of her hand.This feeling of embracing was indeed much more real than a dream, because I was only wearing a small shirt, and my soft flesh was tightly attached to my body.It made my blood boil again.

"I—how long have I been asleep?" I ask, sitting up reluctantly.

"You have been in a coma for more than 50 hours." At this time, Sun Fuyuan who was sitting on the side spoke.

I was taken aback by what he said, "More than 50 hours! How could I have passed out for such a long time!"

"You must have been poisoned while saving Wang Bo, or something like a witchcraft." Sun Fuyuan pointed to my leg, and only then did I see that my ankle was bandaged with gauze.

"Impossible, I have a physique that is invulnerable to all poisons." I am still very confident in my physique.

"Maybe it's not a biological poison, but a poison of witchcraft." Sun Fuyuan said, "You also said that the Qimen Dunjia here is powered by resentment, so it's not strange to use resentment spirits as poison. However, your physique is really terrible. It is obviously the poison of this kind of witchcraft. Your body resisted it and produced antibodies. During this period, your body temperature has reached 45 degrees at the highest temperature. You'd be an idiot if you came here. And you're fine."

"Oh," I sighed, it seems that my physique is not omnipotent.But suddenly thought of something, "By the way, where is Wang Bo? How is he?"

"I didn't make it through, I died." Sun Fuyuan said nonchalantly, as if talking about a very ordinary thing.I was shocked by his flat tone.Unexpectedly, a friend died in front of me.Another feeling of helplessness that was almost desperate came to my heart.The strength of the whole body seemed to be taken away.

"Don't show such an expression." Sun Fuyuan seemed to see the change in my mood, came over and patted my shoulder and said, "Life and death are impermanent, this is fate. If you join the Tomb Raiders Guild, you must get used to looking around people die."

It's no wonder that Sun Fuyuan was able to face death so calmly. Because of my preconceived notions, I always felt that the Tomb Raiders Guild was actually quite cute.But no matter how professional and formal it is, it is still an adventurous organization.Every action is a fatal act.Maybe Long Xingchen and the others will suffer casualties in this operation, or even wipe out their entire army.

I did go down to the tomb a few times, but never had any casualties in previous operations.This kind of achievement made me subconsciously get used to the ending of getting out.But you must know that at that time, one of me was Diaolong Tianguan, and the other was the pillar of the Mudao Taibao at that time.The two of them can be said to be the top existences in the Tomb Pyramid.And the people around me are not gods, they are just little people at the lowest level.Compared with thousands of lives, no life is particularly conspicuous.

I was silent for a long time, and finally recovered from this emotion. I looked at Sun Fuyuan and asked, "Have you made any progress during this time?"

"There is Qimen Dunjia in the water here, and I wouldn't dare to go down without you. During this period of time, I only let Chen Lingxue and Su Xiaoxi sleep to save energy and food." Sun Fuyuan said, "But I will probably go around this underground lake. Walked around. The situation is very bad, the circumference is at least two kilometers. The shore on our side is only a small part, and the other side of the lake is a huge rock wall. The water extends far from under the rock wall. No accidents If we want to get out, we have to dive through the water under that rock wall."

After hearing this, I also felt my heart sank.It's not the worst case, but it's not bad.We didn't have any diving equipment, and the water body under the rock wall didn't know how far it was. It was too dangerous for us to cross it.

"Have you never thought of a way to go back through the celestial crack above?" I said with a hint of fantasy.

"During this period of time, I have nothing to do, so I just calculated this. If there is a way, I would have thought of it." Sun Fuyuan also had a grim expression, "Now I can only take a risk and dive through the water."

Ling Xue and Su Xiaoxi, who had already woken up, knew the current situation a long time ago. We studied it again and again, and finally decided to try the waterway after I recovered.I have a special constitution. Now that the voodoo has been expelled, the sequelae of high fever completely recovered after a few hours.We gathered on the edge of the wall and began to think about how to increase the diving time.
