NFBE Chapter 67
Chapter 67
The ferocious beast shook angrily and darted around wildly. Nalan Jingwen could only hold on tightly to its horns to make sure he wouldn't be thrown off.
Before this, she had already exhausted a great deal of physical strength and spiritual energy, and was almost at her limit in all aspects. Her spiritual energy was depleted. If she did not find the weakness of this ferocious beast as soon as possible and kill it, she and Rong Hengyu would probably be buried here.
Raising the short blade in his hand, he thrust it downwards with all his might, but with another "clang," it bounced back directly. Nalan Jingwen lost his balance and was violently flung away, crashing heavily against the ice wall before falling heavily to the ground. His blood rushed to his head, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, spraying blood mist onto his jade-like face.
His condensed true energy was scattered, and he almost couldn't catch his breath. For a moment, he lay on the ground, unable to move.
A series of white lights flashed before my eyes, and my head felt dizzy.
She felt as if all the bones in her body were about to be dislocated, and her wrist, shaken so badly, seemed to be dislocated and she couldn't move it or feel anything.
She struggled to sit up, vomiting another mouthful of blood. Looking up, she saw that Rong Hengyu had woken up at some point, his dark phoenix eyes fixed on her, filled with emotions she couldn't understand, like a bottomless abyss.
On one side, there was the roar of a ferocious beast, which seemed to want to overturn the cave, and it roared and pounced on her again.
Rong Hengyu stirred, glanced vaguely in that direction, and as if expending all his strength, moved closer to her, his lips moving.
Nalan Jingwen could barely make out what he was seeing.
He said.
eye.
Eye?
He reacted immediately, dodging the beast's attack by flipping over, picking up the short blade from the ground, looking for an opportunity to gather his strength again, and leaping onto its head with a light touch of his toes.
Before it could react, he raised the short blade high, poured all the remaining Xuan power into it, and plunged it into the lantern-sized, blood-red eye. Instantly, blood splattered everywhere. It cried out in pain and roared again, its body shaking rapidly as it tried to throw the person off. But Nalan Jingwen had anticipated this and grabbed its horns with even more force, raising his left hand once more and plunging it into the other eye.
This roar was more terrifying than ever before, and the massive body shook even more violently. Nalan Jingwen, exhausted, was thrown off once again.
This time, she truly felt as if her internal organs had shattered, yet she still clung to her last breath, watching warily at the frenzied beast that was going mad.
It roared incessantly, blood gushing from its eyes, and kept crashing against the ice wall, shaking the entire cave and causing stones to tumble down.
She looked worriedly toward Rong Hengyu and found that he was looking at her too. She breathed a sigh of relief that the rolling ice spikes hadn't hit him.
After being repeatedly struck, the assailant's movements gradually slowed down. Finally, he staggered a few steps and collapsed with a thud.
Mo Yue waited for about fifteen minutes, but the ferocious beast remained lying there motionless. Nalan Jingwen stood up, supporting himself against the ice wall, and walked towards it.
Only after confirming that it was completely dead did I feel relieved.
It turns out that the beast's eyes are where its essence resides. No wonder it has no weaknesses and can survive for so long in this extremely cold place, growing a coat of fur that resists the cold.
Remembering something, he hurriedly walked deeper into the cave.
Sure enough, nestled in the crevices of the ice and stone, there was a Crimson Lotus radiating a blazing red light, surrounded by what appeared to be a thin, transparent, icy blue membrane.
When she reached out to touch it, a layer of ice immediately formed, and it even seemed to have the potential to freeze her fingers.
She withdrew her hand, pondered for a moment, gathered a tiny bit of profound energy in her palm, and touched the thin membrane again. It instantly dissolved, revealing the Crimson Lotus inside to her eyes.
Nalan Jingwen finally smiled, picked the Crimson Lotus, then condensed it into a pill-sized object and presented it to Rong Hengyu.
Feed him the food, then help him circulate his qi to combine it.
A blinding red light erupted from Rong Hengyu's body, his jet-black hair fluttered slightly, and his entire body became incredibly hot.
Outside the cave, a biting wind howled and swept through, but inside, all was quiet except for the sound of water dripping onto the ground.
After an unknown amount of time, the red light faded and gradually returned to calm. Rong Hengyu slowly opened his eyes and saw Nalan Jingwen's blood-stained, beautiful face.
Nalan Jingwen opened his eyes at the same time and met his gaze.
"How does it feel?"
Rong Hengyu nodded calmly, his phoenix eyes gleaming.
Upon hearing this, Nalan Jing stood up. His vision blurred and he was unsteady, but he quickly braced himself against the ice wall beside him.
"Since there's no problem, let's go back. Hongyun and the others are still waiting for us."
Upon reaching the cave entrance, looking at the distance from the ground, he frowned again.
She felt relatively relaxed coming down, but now that she wants to go up, it's quite difficult.
After a moment of silence, he glanced at the person beside him. The pale gold robe made him look incredibly noble, and just by standing there, he stole everyone's attention.
"come over."
She reached out her hand to him. Rong Hengyu looked down at her hand. The cracks on her hand had been frozen, and the blood had congealed. Her once fair and jade-like hand was now covered in wounds.
His phoenix eyes flickered slightly, and he placed his hand in her palm.
Nalan Jingwen pulled the man over, put his arm around his waist, and said, "If you're scared, hold on tight to me."
Rong Hengyu paused for a moment, then wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
Nalan Jingwen looked up, then leaped into the air. Rong Hengyu was in her arms, feeling her body so cold it had no warmth at all. His expression changed slightly, and he tightened his grip on her.
As she neared the summit, her profound energy was completely exhausted. Her expression hardened, and she threw the person in her arms onto the peak before plummeting downwards herself.
Rong Hengyu hadn't expected her to throw herself up there, giving him a chance to live. He turned around in a panic and grabbed her hand. Luckily, he managed to hold on.
Nalan Jingwen was completely exhausted, with no strength left in her body. She noticed that the whistling wind beside her ears had stopped, and when she looked up, she was surprised to see that Rong Hengyu had grabbed her.
The men here are not very strong, let alone a noble young master like Rong Hengyu who has never done physical labor before, so he has no strength at all.
He grabbed Nalan Jingwen and almost lost his balance, sliding down a few more feet.
Ke Rongyu pursed her lips tightly and actually pulled the person up.
After coming up, Nalan Jingwen and Rong Hengyu lay together in the snow, looking at the snow falling from the sky, somewhat dazed.
The day I encountered Liu Qishan, the weather was just like this, the snow was just like this, and I was just as disheveled.
For a moment, she actually laughed.
It's not just about surviving a disaster.
Drawn by her laughter, Rong Hengyu looked over with some confusion. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of that radiant smile, and something seemed to strike his heart like a heavy blow.
