Chapter 68

After turning around, I found that there was indeed no second way out of the valley, so Su Hailing gave up.

Looking up at the newly formed mountains due to the earthquake, she let out a long sigh.

It's not impossible to climb out, just be careful not to cause a second collapse. She and Mei Junhan are both skilled in martial arts, and this mountain is not as smooth as a mirror before. There will be no problem climbing the mountain in one day .

"Let's go, there is no way out if you stay here." Mei Junhan said, tightening her clothes.

"Take it." Su Hailing pulled out the two daggers tied to his boots, and threw them to Mei Junhan.

Mei Junhan twirled the dagger a few times to test the feel, and then nodded to her.

Su Hailing continued to sigh, I really don't want to use such a simple tool for extreme rock climbing...

I found a relatively uneven place and started to climb. With the foundation of light work and the ability to stabilize my body with a dagger, it was not very difficult to climb up. After a while, my kung fu improved a lot.

"Is there any problem?" Mei Junhan asked.

"Do I look so fragile?" Su Hailing raised his eyebrows, and the dagger in his right hand slammed into the cliff, using his strength to jump up a few meters.

"When I met you three years ago, you probably didn't know martial arts." Mei Junhan followed behind unhurriedly.

"So what?" Su Hailing said with a smile, "I didn't know it before, so I'm not allowed to learn it?"

"Your martial arts were really taught by Mu Qingchen?" Mei Junhan said.

"That's right, is there something wrong?" Su Hailing asked back.

"In three years, you have trained a person who doesn't know martial arts to become your current skill, Qinglian's lineage really deserves its reputation." Mei Junhan said plainly.

Su Hailing didn't speak, but smiled lightly in his heart.

The martial arts of Qinglian's school are indeed miraculous, and Mu Qingchen can be considered a very qualified teacher, but internal force is indeed something that cannot be tricked at all. If it weren't for the Qi training method handed down by the Su family, it could be as good as Han Yu's. It is impossible for her to practice to the present level with the integration of the Heart Sutra.

"Jun Han, I want to ask you something." Su Hailing said suddenly.

"Huh?" Mei Junhan was taken aback, fixed her body on the cliff with a dagger, and turned to look at her.

"In this life, do you really plan to live like this?" Su Hailing asked.

"I..." Mei Junhan didn't expect her to ask this, and it took her a while to react, and a look of embarrassment flashed across her handsome face.

"I don't mean anything else, it's just out of concern for my friends, I don't appreciate it...it's up to you." Su Hailing took a breath, and continued to climb up.

"You think I'm...a friend?" Mei Junhan asked in surprise.

"Otherwise, what do you think I think of you?" Su Hailing asked with a smile, "A collaborator? Or... just someone you can use?"

Mei Junhan remained silent and did not answer, but her heart was bitter and astringent, mixed with a bit of sweetness.

Friends... How could she understand how precious this word is to her!
"I won't grill fish for my collaborators or people I use." Su Hailing smiled lightly.

"A friend?" Mei Junhan sighed and muttered to himself.

"Don't you have any friends?" Su Hailing wondered.

"I am an evil heretic, who would be my friend?" Mei Junhan smiled wryly, "And the people in the palace... Xuanming Palace has strict rules and regulations, who would dare to treat me as a friend?"

"Then... I'll be your first friend." Su Hailing said, "How can I put it this way, we are now friends in need who entrusted our lives to each other!"

"...Okay." After a long time, Mei Junhan uttered a word, but there was some uncertainty and hesitation in it.

Su Hailing looked up at the still gloomy and gray sky, and sighed softly in his heart.

Mei Junhan has suppressed his feelings too deeply. He is clearly a strange man with clear distinctions between love and hate, but he grew up in a place like Xuanming Palace. If he doesn't pull his heart out to bask in the sun, I'm afraid one day sooner or later It will be moldy!And I don't want to lose a friend worth making.

For the next section of the road, in order to preserve their energy, the two of them stopped talking, and only paid attention to the foothold and the strength of the dagger in their hands.

However, it went very smoothly at first, but gradually, Su Hailing only felt that his arms gradually began to go numb, and he obviously felt exhausted.Looking down, the height made her head dizzy for a while.

Falling down... If you don't die, you have to lose half your life!Besides, it was easy to go up but difficult to go down, and she was not sure that she could climb back safely, so she could only grit her teeth and continue climbing.

"Are you okay?" Mei Junhan asked worriedly.

Although he has martial arts, rock climbing, especially climbing such a steep and loosely structured cliff that may collapse at any time, still tests physical strength and endurance.

Mei Junhan, who grew up in darkness and blood, began to faintly feel that he couldn't stand it anymore. However... this royal princess who was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, who has only learned martial arts for three years and has never experienced any hardships, is able to say nothing. He said nothing, which made him admire.

Su Hailing took a few breaths, moved up a few meters, and even his shoulders began to ache. Although he had rock climbing training before, how could anyone climb a thousand-meter cliff with only a dagger?However, if it weren't for the cruel training in the barracks, she would not have been able to persist long ago.

Sweat slowly soaked through the thin clothes. Fortunately, the two daggers were all high-end products, and the handles were tightly wrapped with threads so that they would not slip.

Raise your hand, raise the knife, stab, force... Su Hailing repeated these actions mechanically.Suddenly, with a light touch, she slid down the cliff before she had time to react.Probably because I was too tired, so the dagger was inserted too shallowly, unable to support the weight of a person.

"Hailing!" Mei Junhan was taken aback, but he reached out and caught nothing.

People will always burst out their potential at the critical moment of life and death. Although Su Hailing panicked, he was not out of control, and he raised his dagger and thrust it into the cliff.After more than a dozen times, she finally stopped the falling momentum and hung in mid-air.

"Huh..." Su Hailing breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that his heart was beating so fast that it seemed to be about to jump out of his mouth.

"Hailing! Are you alright?" Mei Junhan fixed his figure with a dagger and shouted.

"It's okay, don't worry! Don't move, I'll come up right away." Su Hailing endured the scratches and scratches all over his body on the gravel, and raised his head to comfort him.

Mei Junhan hesitated for a while, and finally waited obediently in place.

Su Hailing smiled wryly, and started to climb up again helplessly.But with this tossing, the distance from the end point was even further.

...100 meters, 80 meters, 60 meters...

The arm was so painful that she couldn't feel it. I didn't know how many times the inserting and climbing actions were repeated mechanically, until a warm hand grabbed her arm and lifted her vigorously, pulling her to a raised rock.

"Thank you." Su Hailing smiled weakly.

"Save your energy, we'll be there soon." Mei Junhan looked at the top of the cliff that was already visible.

Su Hailing suddenly laughed.

"Are you still laughing?" Mei Junhan looked at her in disbelief.

"It's been a long time since I've been so embarrassed." Su Hailing's face was relaxed, and there was still a hint of nostalgia hidden in it, and then he added the following words in his heart: It seems... the time when he first entered the training of the special forces camp...

"You weirdo." Mei Junhan couldn't help but smiled, "Take a rest and climb again."

"No, you will be more tired after rest." Su Hailing shook his head and said.She has experienced modern scientific training. The most exhausting time is not just after exercising, but after a period of rest.

Mei Junhan nodded, and after waiting for her without moving for a while, he did feel his hands and feet go weak.

Su Hailing took a deep breath, pulled out the dagger, and was about to stab it upwards, when suddenly, a familiar pain rose from his heart...

With a "ding", the dagger was plunged into the rock wall heavily.

Su Hailing tightly grasped the dagger, crying secretly.Damn lingering, when is it not easy to attack, but at this juncture?
"Hailing, what's wrong?" Mei Junhan also saw that something was wrong with her.

"I... got poisoned." Su Hailing wanted to smile at him, but the smile was uglier than crying.

"What did you say?" Mei Junhan was shocked, and immediately moved over to her side, grabbed her arm, and helped her stabilize her figure.

"Sorry..." Su Hailing managed to spit out two words.

"What should I do? How did Mu Qingchen do it before?" Mei Junhan asked anxiously.

"The Cold Jade Heart Sutra of Qinglian's lineage has the effect of restraining the lingering poison, you, you can't do it." Su Hailing reluctantly said.After just saying a few words, her face had turned pale, and her lips were bitten with blood.

Mei Junhan looked at the top of the cliff, but it was only a hundred and ten meters away, but Su Hailing with a poisonous hair would definitely not be able to climb it in a short time.Looking down at the feet again, the ground is already far away, and it is not easy to go down.But you can't just hang in mid-air like this!

"I have medicine in my arms, a blue bottle, take it out for me." Su Hailing gritted his teeth.

Mei Junhan blushed immediately, hesitated for a while, then reached into her arms and groped for a while, took out a few bottles, kept the blue ones, and put the others back: "This one?"

"Give me one." Su Hailing nodded.

Mei Junhan uncorked the bottle with her mouth, and poured out a longan-sized pill in her left palm that exuded a burst of fragrance.

Su Hailing immediately put the medicine into his mouth, and swallowed it with saliva.

"How is it?" Mei Junhan asked nervously.

"The elixir made from snow lotus is extremely cloudy and cold, so it can only be suppressed a little." Su Hailing smiled wryly, but his voice became much calmer.

"Can't you eat more?" Mei Junhan frowned.

"No, the meridians will not be able to bear the medicine if it is too strong." Su Hailing said.

"Let's go up first." Mei Junhan gritted his teeth, moved over and hugged her waist tightly.

"You want to take me up there?" Su Hailing's eyes widened.

Mei Junhan didn't answer, but moved her body carefully, let her lie on his back, and said, "Is the Qingxin Vine on your body? Untie it."

Su Hailing took out the Qingxin Vine that she used as a belt and handed it to him.

Mei Junhan carefully wrapped around the two of them a few times and tied them tightly to prevent her from slipping down.

"I'm sorry." Su Hailing leaned his chin on his shoulder, sullenly.

What she smelled in her nose was a faint masculine breath, with a cold plum blossom arrogance, which calmed her heart unconsciously.

In the past, she had protected her only younger brother, Su Mo. After arriving in the world of this empress, she became more used to protecting the men around her. Even if they were as strong as Haoyue and Mu Qingchen, she still needed her to take care of them.However... Only Mei Junhan actually gave her a kind of security that she had never felt in modern times, and made her feel... So she can also be relied on.

"Don't move." Mei Junhan ordered, took her dagger, first cut two grooves on the cliff wall for stepping on, and then ruthlessly inserted a dagger into the gap in the stone wall above her head, Until it reaches the handle, then climb up while holding the dagger, and repeat the same process with the other dagger.

"Jun Han, do we count as skin relatives like this?" Su Hailing smiled.

"Woman, shut up!" Mei Junhan scolded.

Su Hailing put her arms around his neck, watching the back of his neck and the roots of his ears turn red slowly, couldn't help laughing again.

"Believe it or not, I'll throw you down!" Mei Junhan warned.

"I don't believe it." Su Hailing answered more bluntly.

Mei Junhan choked violently, and only let out a cold snort after a while.

Su Hailing narrowed his eyes and secretly smiled.Although I took the medicine, it was not right after all. Although the feeling of heartache was relieved, it was still a drop in the bucket.She could only divert her attention by flirting with Mei Junhan.

"I really don't know what they are looking for in you." Mei Jun snorted coldly, "You are obviously cold and selfish, and all the good women in the world will die!"

"This, if we go out, I will ask them." Su Hailing said slowly.

"You do have affection for Mu Qingchen and Haoyue, but compared with your Jiangshan Sheji, how much is that affection?" Mei Junhan continued.

"Didn't I come to find Haoyue? Isn't that enough to explain." Su Hailing was silent for a while before saying.

"I dragged you down. If it wasn't for me, you could have escaped before the landslide by yourself." Mei Junhan said, "You will never put yourself to death."

"You see through me." Hearing this, Su Hailing sighed with a smile, closed his mouth and stopped provoking him.After all, speaking is also very energy-intensive, so it is a point to save a point at this time!

As the sky gradually darkened until it was pitch black, climbing became more difficult.However, looking at the end point that seemed to be within reach, the two finally smiled at each other in relief.

it worked...

Heavyly inserting the dagger into the rock wall, Mei Junhan stretched out a hand and grabbed the ground.

Just as both of them breathed a sigh of relief, they heard a crisp sound of "Crack!"

Su Hailing groaned inwardly, knowing that the landform formed after the earthquake was unstable, especially the part close to the ground was more fragile, but it was too late...

A large rock collapsed, the dagger came loose, and the two of them inevitably fell together with the gravel, and this time there was really no way to rely on it.

Are you still going to die here?Su Hailing couldn't help laughing bitterly.When things came to an end, she wasn't afraid anymore, she just felt unwilling, obviously...just a little short...

"Hailing!" A familiar shout came from the top.
