Chapter 52

Seeking recommendations...

------------------------

This was a good thing for the three of them, because at least this way, others would find them more easily. They hoped that Zhao Zhilin, Qiuyue, and the others would successfully leave the underground palace, hoping they would see this hole, and hoping that when they came to rescue them, they would still be alive.

The idea was beautiful, but they also knew the possibility was low, because there wasn't enough time, and at the same time, the falling "ceiling" now posed a significant danger to them. If they were hit, it wouldn't be a joke.

It would be best if it hit the snake!!

The three of them looked up at the ironhead snake, hoping a large rock would fall from above, though this was just a fantasy; there were no rocks up there.

But soon, the three of them were a bit stunned. They didn't see a large rock fall, but they saw a figure drop from the sky, shouting loudly as it fell...

"Land God, spare my life..."

"I just took a gemstone..."

"Don't punish me..."

"..."

A young man nimbly leaped on the falling rocks, bouncing around like a monkey, but very effectively, landing safely.

Then, the young man knelt down and begged for the Land God's forgiveness, but before he could kneel much, he jumped up—

"Ah, help, a monster!"

"..."

The young man had noticed the ironhead snake and was clearly startled...

At this moment, the three of them saw the young man's appearance. Even if they couldn't see his face, they were very familiar with his voice, especially the last scream.

"Little Junior Brother, why are you here?"

Chu Xiong said weakly. Seeing Bu Zheng's appearance, they at least had hope again, and Qin Shuang also found Bu Zheng more likable at this moment. Of course, she didn't make a sound, not because she couldn't, but because she knew Chu Xiong would explain.

"I..." Bu Zheng wanted to explain the situation, but Chu Xiong interrupted him. These things were secondary; Chu Xiong asked out of curiosity, but now wasn't the time for idle talk.

"Quick, think of a way to get us out!"

"Okay, I understand. What happened to you all? Is this monster your training target? Where are the others?" Bu Zheng came to Chu Xiong's side, "You're badly hurt. Do you have any medicine? I have some healing medicine, do you want it?"

"Give it to me!" Chu Xiong didn't waste words, "That's a Level 6 monster. We're lucky to be in this state, and we owe a lot to Junior Sister Qin Shuang. But it's not dead yet, and it will attack us soon, so we need to escape quickly."

"Why do we need to escape?" After feeding Chu Xiong a healing pill, Bu Zheng also gave one to Qi Tian nearby. This healing medicine wasn't very high-grade, all self-made due to material limitations, and it couldn't immediately heal Chu Xiong and Qi Tian's injuries.

However, although it couldn't effectively heal their injuries, it did allow Chu Xiong to stand up again, which showed that the medicine was quite effective.

Then, Chu Xiong immediately took out a Golden Pill from his spatial ring and ate it. This was the best healing medicine he had, not only temporarily stopping the injuries but also allowing him to use some internal energy, though it was quite expensive.

"If we don't escape now, we won't have the chance. Once this monster snake recovers its strength, it will definitely swallow us whole," Qi Tian replied. After recovering, Qi Tian didn't take any medicine because he didn't have anything better, so he asked Bu Zheng for a second pill...

"Where is Senior Sister Qin Shuang?" Bu Zheng wanted to give medicine to Qin Shuang. Although he didn't know the situation, he knew Qin Shuang must be unable to move, or he wouldn't be the one giving the medicine.

"I'm here!" Qin Shuang spoke, feeling a bit conflicted. Being seen in such a pitiful state and needing help from someone, especially a lowly servant disciple, was embarrassing.

But at this moment, she was risking her life, so she naturally put aside these thoughts.

When Bu Zheng saw Qin Shuang, he was also startled. He didn't expect the high and mighty fairy to be in such a miserable state, with torn clothes and blood all over her body. The blood seemed strange, as if seeping from inside.

"Senior Sister Qin Shuang, are you injured?" Bu Zheng asked as he put the healing medicine in her mouth.

"Of course I'm injured, you idiot," Qin Shuang replied irritably, then closed her eyes and focused on healing.

Qin Shuang didn't think the medicine would help much, given her condition, but unexpectedly, Bu Zheng's medicine gave her a surge of energy, restoring some of her vital energy.

The move "Heaven and Earth Unite" was hardest to recover from after use, sometimes leaving one without any vital energy for a month. Now, she had a tiny bit, which was an incredible thing.

"Maybe we can get out through the hole above if we have some strength..." Chu Xiong was already looking up, thinking of ways to escape, but he realized it would be difficult to escape in their current state, or at least not in a short time.

If they couldn't escape quickly, they would still become the ironhead snake's food.

"What do we do then?" Qi Tian, knowing the situation, was a bit frustrated.

"Can we just kill the snake?"

"How many times do I have to tell you to use your brain? We don't have the strength to get close to it. Don't think it's weak now; if we go near, it will definitely wrap us up and kill us," Chu Xiong said irritably to Qi Tian, but then saw Qi Tian waving, indicating something else.

Looking over, it was Bu Zheng, so he couldn't blame him; he didn't understand these things.

"Since we're waiting anyway, I might as well go and harass the monster snake to prevent it from recovering strength," Bu Zheng said, cautiously approaching the snake.

"If you can prevent it from recovering, that's the best..." Chu Xiong thought about it; Bu Zheng's plan could at least buy them time to think of a way out.

Qin Shuang was also deep in thought, looking at the surroundings. They could only fly up to the hole to escape, which would be easy under normal circumstances, but now it was so difficult.

"Boom!!"

Qin Shuang's thoughts were interrupted by a loud explosion. She looked at Bu Zheng in a daze, seeing him holding a Thunder Pill and throwing it at the "poor" ironhead snake. The explosion was clearly from the Thunder Pill.

She didn't expect Bu Zheng to have a way to buy time, and this method might even kill the snake.
