The Lost Bride

But crazy people do things, and the average person can't understand the reasoning behind it.

Jiang Luo and his companions walked through the cave for five or six minutes and came to a fork in a four-way road.

Lu Youyi looked at the four dark paths in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "Which one do we take?"

Jiang Luo chose the fourth path based on his intuition, "This one, it can't be the most dangerous one."

Lu Youyi looked at him with a complicated face, wanting to say, "Jiang Luo , not that I don t believe you, but you this physique ...... generally say what is bad, will really be what is bad."

Jiang Luo : "...... You're right, rule out #4."

Deadshot pointed to the first road, "I think we can take this one."

Jiang Luo looked at him with a face of ignorantly selling his lair, the corner of his mouth raised in relief, went up and patted his shoulder, encouragingly said, "Deadbeat, with such an intuition just go ahead and say it, we'll follow your lead."

The dead ghost did lead them down a safe path. They winded their way through the cavern to a drawbridge.

With chains running across both sides and crude planks, the suspension bridge is dangerous. Jiang Luo looks down and sees that below the bridge is the underground river, which is still full of ghosts.

Deadbeat said, "Cross the drawbridge and you're there."

Jiang Luo asked, "Where to?"

A blank look appeared on the dead ghost's face, "I don't know."

Jiang Luo was not surprised, he shrugged, "Let's go."

The Dead Ghost leads the way, but when they reach the middle of the drawbridge, a man dressed in red and wearing a fox mask walks across it.

The fox mask had a green face with fangs, the tip of the nose was long and bulging, and the word "flower" was carved on the side of the mask. The man walked onto the drawbridge and said grimly, "Teng Bi, are you planning to rebel against the Lord?"

Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi immediately looked sideways at the dead ghost, who didn't react, and only after being looked at by them did they ask in confusion, "What are you looking at me for?"

Lu Youyi reminded, "I think he's calling you."

The dead ghost is called Teng Bi, what a strange name.

But if the dead ghost regained his memory, wouldn't they be in danger?

Dead Ghost said, "His name is Teng Bi, and mine is Dead Ghost."

The man in red snorted, "So you've even forgotten what your name is, how pathetic, no wonder you've become a probing dog in the hands of humans."

Jiang Luo lazily interjected, "Oh? Are you jealous that he can even be a dog and you can't even compare to a dog?"

The man in red's smile faltered, "Looking for death."

He stretched out his hand, which was like a fox's paw, with excessively long and thin fingers, the back of his hand was intertwined with veins, and his nails were sharp and pointed, shaped like curved hooks. The man in red went from the opposite side of the room to Jiang Luo's face in a matter of moments, and before his claw went down, it clashed with the dead ghost's large sword.

The claws and the knife surprisingly rubbed out stinging sparks, and the Dead Ghost protected Jiang Luo and Lu Youyi behind him as he coldly said, "You don't want to hurt them."

The man in red frowned, "Teng Bi, you really have lost your head."

He nonchalantly increased his force, his claws sliding from the tip of the blade to the hilt, heavily scratching five scratches on the dead ghost's hand, blood instantly flowing down the dead ghost's arm, the claw marks were deep enough to see through to the bone.

Deadshot looked at the wound on his arm.

The man in red's claws seemed to have some kind of toxin on them, corroding and generally making the dead ghost's wounds bubble with white gas, which should have healed itself within seconds, but there was not a single point of healing.

Dead Ghost cringes, ignoring the pain and attacking with his knife, only to be gouged again by the man in red in his chest. Lu Youyi exclaims, "Dead Ghost!"

The man in red looks towards Lu Youyi and has just extended his claws when the dead ghost interrupts his attack from behind.

The drawbridge shook violently, the Dead Ghost and the man in red were evenly matched, but the claws of the man in red seemed like heavenly kinks to the Dead Ghost, and the wounds on the Dead Ghost's body couldn't heal, so he soon lost the upper hand. The man in red mockingly said, "Teng Bi, when did you become so weak?"

Dead Ghost blocked another blow from him and turned back toward Jiang Luo and the two men, "You guys go first!"

Jiang Luo wanted to summon the Yin Yang Ring to deal with the man in red along with the dead ghosts, but the speed of their moves was too fast, and if he summoned the twelve zodiacs, they would only attack along with the dead ghosts.

They would be standing here, which would in turn give the dead ghosts more to worry about, Jiang Luo frowned and pulled Lu Youyi towards the opposite side of the drawbridge to rush off.

Lu Youyi glanced back soulfully, his heart hard, "Jiang Luo, will the dead ghost be alright?"

"They are the left and right protectors beside the idol, they know each other, that man in red shouldn't lay a hand on the dead ghost," but Jiang Luo's tightly wrinkled brow didn't ease for a moment, he didn't like to owe others favors, "Forget it, I'll go back to take a look again."

He paused in his steps, ready to go back. Lu Youyi pulled him back, "I'll go with you."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lu Youyi let out a muffled grunt, "Jiang Luo, it seems like something bit me on the leg."

As he spoke, his face slowly turned iron blue and he lost blood on his lips, "It's so, so painful."

Jiang Luo was shocked, looked down, a scorpion tail blue scorpion from Lu Youyi's shoes crawling past. The scorpion was about the size of a palm, and its tail stood straight up like a needle. Jiang Luo had once read about this kind of scorpion in a book, and the scorpion was a poisonous-tailed scorpion, and only places with extremely heavy yin qi would nourish such a scorpion. This kind of scorpion eats blood and grows, and the toxin in each tail can kill a living person within an hour.

Jiang Luo's face suddenly became ugly, the golden runes transformed into Si Snake biting the scorpion, Jiang Luo helped Lu Youyi to sit down, and quickly bled him after pulling off the poisonous stinger.

But the poisonous tail scorpion was too poisonous, in just a few moments, Lu Youyi's wound had already swollen up, and he was shivering as if he was in the midst of winter, shivering several times.

Jiang Luo's hands shook slightly as extreme anger burned into his heart, and besides the anger, there was also some nervousness and fear that he himself didn't understand why.

Jiang Luo thinks he doesn't need friends.

Family and friendship, he honored.

In his eyes, the people of Birch University were just a shield to protect him and be used by him.

It should have been.

But he couldn't help feeling panicked now.

Why panic?

Because Lu Youyi is going to die?

Because he sees Lu Youyi as a friend?

Jiang Luo stood up violently and clenched his fists. He suddenly remembered something and hastily stretched out his hand, the huge golden python wrapped around his arm, the scorpion biting in the python's mouth still had a breath left in it, Jiang Luo took the scorpion with his right hand wrapped in a black cloth and slashed the scorpion's body without killing this scorpion.

Bright red blood flowed out of the scorpion's body.

It's a male scorpion.

Jiang Luo gave a sharp gasp.

There are two types of poisonous tail scorpions, male and female, and after being stung by male poisonous tail scorpions there is still salvation, but after being stung by female poisonous tail scorpions, you can only wait for death.

If you are poisoned by a male scorpion, you can get rid of the male scorpion's toxin as long as you can find a female scorpion within an hour, and after rubbing her blood over the wound where the male scorpion has stung you.

The blood of the male scorpion is red and that of the female scorpion is white. Although the female scorpion is poisonous, its blood has the effect of a great tonic, fixing the soul and guarding the yin, which is useful to both the living and the dead, so it is constantly being hunted down and killed, resulting in the number of female scorpions being far less than that of male scorpions.

But even if it's less, it means Lu Youyi has a chance of surviving.

Jiang Luo took a deep breath and used the rune paper to stick on Lu Youyi's wound to slow down the spread of the poison. He hid Lu Youyi in a corner, leaving only one golden rune for himself, and used the rest to protect Lu Youyi.

"An hour," he muttered, "to be on the safe side, make it forty minutes."

Time is short.

Jiang Luo looks back at the drawbridge, sorry.

He thought silently in his mind.

He couldn't be bothered to ascertain the dead ghost's well-being at this point; he had to find the female Poison Tail Scorpion first.

Jiang Luo places the injured poisonous-tailed scorpion on the ground.

The poisonous tail scorpion is a kind of scorpion that likes to live in groups, and when it is injured, it will immediately return to its nest, and there are both males and females in the nest, so it is not likely that he can be led to find the female poisonous tail scorpion.

The poisonous-tailed scorpion that was put on the ground really crawled quickly.

Jiang Luo gently follow the poisonous tail scorpion, poisonous tail scorpion speed is getting faster and faster, walking road is getting more and more rugged and difficult, Jiang Luo heart has been silently counting the time, until almost twenty minutes, the road in front of them is clear.

Jiang Luo heard the faint sound of water flowing.

Another branch of the underground river?

And yes, scorpions like dark and damp places.

He rolled sensitively over the rocks, and the next moment after his vision opened up, Jiang Luo caught a glimpse of light. His eyebrows jumped and he instantly rolled behind a stone wall.

Once hidden, he carefully peered into the light.

Ahead is a man-made cave.

In the middle of the cave, a pond was dug out. The water in the pond was white to a somewhat sticky texture, Jiang Luo recognized at a glance that it was all the blood of the female Poison Tail Scorpion.

So much blood that it even formed a puddle of ponds, and it was feared that the entire female Poison Tail Scorpions within the hole in the ground would be killed off.

Jiang Luo took a deep look at the pond water before shifting his gaze to the person soaking in the pond.

Soaking in the water was a man, the man's arms resting gently on the edge of the pool, his posture laid back and relaxed.

In this weird and crisis-ridden hole in the ground, he didn't seem to have any discomfort, but instead enjoyed himself extraordinarily.

Jiang Luo's right eyelid fluttered several times the moment he saw the man.

Chi You.

Fuck Chi You.

He thought with certainty as well as certainty that the earlier incident of being chased by the statue of Buddha was not his great evil omen, and that now was the point at which his great evil omen took effect.

Shit.

He needs the blood of a female poisonous-tailed scorpion, and the person who soaks in the blood of a female poisonous-tailed scorpion is the Knight who wants him dead.

How the fuck can this be such a coincidence.

Jiang Luo cursed several times in his mind, his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about how he could get the water of the pond in the shortest time and then retreat in his whole body.

The poisonous-tailed scorpion that had brought Jiang Luo here was still crawling forward, and before it could crawl a meter, the evil spirit in the pool turned its head slightly sideways and crooked a strange, big smile, "Hmm, something's coming?"

Jiang Luo's heart jumped and he held his breath.

The next moment, the poisonous scorpion was nailed to the ground by a cloud of black mist. Chi You withdrew his head, closed his eyes and leaned back, humming moodily.

The tune runs out of steam, but in the midst of this scene, there's not a hint of funny at all, only the weirdness grows doubly so.

Jiang Luo has no time to delay any longer.

He closed his eyes and quickly built up a route in his mind that he could enter and exit. After determining the route, he quietly exited the stone wall.

Chi You's blind spot is right behind him, so pretend to sneak up on him when he's not ready, steal the water, take it and run.

If it goes well.

Jiang Luo steps closer to Chi You.

The evil spirit didn't notice his arrival and was still humming a song with an eerie tune. Jiang Luo thought to himself, "This is the time.

He swung the knife to the top of the head of the evil ghost stabbed, but the evil ghost behind the long eyes seem to hold his hand, abruptly force, Jiang Luo was unsteady, was pulled into the water.

Flop--

Jiang Luo's body was drenched in the blood of the female Poison Tail Scorpion in an instant. The white blood water was strangely devoid of a bloody odor, and the milky white stream slid down his face in a zigzag pattern, as if he had taken a milk bath.

The next moment, he was pressed against the pool wall by the naked evil ghost, who clutched his hands with one hand upwards, preventing the black-haired youth from using the Yin Yang Ring. With the other hand, it was braced against the pool wall on the black-haired youth's side.

The evil spirit and Jiang Luo are close together.

The dark-haired youth was forced to bend over, stabilizing himself with his right foot on the waist and stomach of the underwater evil spirit.

Chi You elongated her tone and said, "Well, what's with the coming of a-"

"Lost," an amused glance swept over Jiang Luo, "bride?"
