Chapter 531 Escape
Lu Yunan's fingertips quickly scratched Li Ang's back. This was not out of nervousness or fear, but a plan that the two of them had made before.
If there is an attack and there is no time to communicate, use this method to mark the climbing route for Li Ang.
With the sixth thoracic vertebra as the center, the place where the fingertip is light is the cliff that can be grasped, and the place where the fingertip is focused is the place that can be stepped on.
Jump, climb.
Li Ang tried his best to speed up, Lu Yunan marked the route for him with one hand, raised the glow crossbow with the other hand, squinted his eyes, stared at the spiders chasing below, completed the calculation in an instant, and then pulled the trigger.
Whoosh—
The fine steel arrow twisted from the wreckage of the talisman passed through the gap in the spider web at a delicate angle, avoiding the heavy armor on the forehead of the giant spider in the front, and precisely hit its feet.
With a click, the three legs of the giant spider the size of a car were all cut off, and its body stopped for a moment. It rolled down from the spider web and fell downwards with many smaller spiders.
With no time to observe the results of the battle, Lu Yunan bit the bowstring with his tiger teeth, reset the bowstring, reattached the arrow, and fired again.
The arrow cluster of the second arrow was flat and wide, tearing through layers of spider webs, causing the spiders to squeeze and collide with each other, delaying a little more time.
The third branch, the fourth branch.
Lu Yunan regularly shot arrows one by one, using her predictive ability to hold back the momentum of the spider swarm's pursuit,
However, the sound of rattling spider footsteps still rushed from all directions.
The arrow quickly shot into the air, and Lu Yunan lowered the arm holding the glow crossbow in despair. No matter how you deduce it, there is no option to escape from the fate you see.
Was it still affected by Li Yuan's environment?
Damp water vapor and the cloth covering his face blocked his breathing and slowed his thinking, so that he didn't find so many obvious clues.
For example, the sudden reduction of wild creatures around, the heaviness of spider silk accumulation
"hold me."
Li Ang said suddenly.
"What?"
Lu Yunan froze for a moment, and instinctively hugged each other tightly with both hands.
Li Ang suddenly let go of his hands, allowing himself to fall downwards.
The gust of wind whizzed past her ears, and a strong sense of weightlessness enveloped her whole body. Lu Yunan tightly pursed her mouth, subconsciously wanted to close her eyes, but thought of the situation of the two of them, resisted her instinct, and opened her eyes to look down.
The two of them fell down the cliff, avoiding the spider swarm with a slight difference, and went straight through the thick layer of dense fog.
Zheng!
When the spiders above had turned into tiny black dots, Li Ang pulled out his three-edged spear and stabbed at the cliff with all his strength.
The blade of the gun pierced through the earth and rocks, sinking deep into the rocks, and the figures of the two suddenly slowed down in the air.
Li Ang gripped the three-edged gun tightly, his hands were so hard that his knuckles looked bloodless.
The three-edged gun cut a nearly two-meter-long mark on the rock, and only then stopped the falling trend.
Li Ang panted violently, recovered some strength, then turned his head and asked, "Are you all right?"
"fine."
Lu Yunan's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "We have to move immediately, I don't know if those spiders will come after us."
"Um."
Li Ang moved sideways with Lu Yunan on his back, and climbed up to a raised stone platform. After confirming that the spiders above were not chasing him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's fix it."
Li Ang put Lu Yunan down slowly, lay down on the ground by himself, and rubbed his sore shoulders.
He was just on the verge of life and death, and he jumped before he had time to think about the risks. It was only now that he felt the emotion of fear in his heart.
Hold Li Ang's head in warm and soft hands, and place it on his lap.
Lu Yunan looked at the boy silently, gently pinched his shoulders for him, and brushed away the light spider silk that had begun to atomize into small droplets from his hair
For the rest of their life after the catastrophe, neither of them spoke, they just stayed like this for a quarter of an hour.
"Are you thirsty?"
Li Ang got up from Lu Yunan's lap pillow and asked casually.
"Somewhat."
Lu Yunan nodded. They originally planned to open the umbrella to absorb the moisture in the air to get water, but now that they know that there are spider threads in the fog, they naturally cannot drink the water obtained in this way.
So Li Ang went to chop some bamboo and came back.
This kind of bamboo is a common hemp bamboo in the south. A small amount of water is stored in the bamboo joints, which can be enough for two people to drink.
After solving the problem of drinking water, the exhausted two men managed to dig a pothole on the wall of the stone platform.
Relying on the potholes, they set up a tent, placed some bamboo in front of the tent as a cover, and prepared to spend the night.
After climbing the cliff for a day, Li Ang was so tired that his whole body ached. He thought he would fall asleep quickly, but when he lay in the tent, his sleepiness subsided inexplicably.
This was the closest he had ever been to death in his life. He had faced threats of life and death before, but none of them were as thrilling as this one.
When he first came to Chang’an, when Jiao Cheng threatened him with a crossbow to help him explore the Sword Immortal’s Underground Palace, he still had poison as a backup;
In the ruins of the Jialan Sect, when facing the Demon Buddha, he still had Mosi as his trump card;
Even in Xingzhou last time, facing the monk Jianquan who fell into madness, he was still able to summon Mosi and left.
Only this time, the sea of qi was sealed, and Mosi couldn't sense it.
It seems to have returned to the time when he had not embarked on the path of practice.
Lu Yunan, who was in charge of the night watch, heard Li Ang's tossing and turning in the dark tent, and asked softly, "Can't sleep?"
"Um."
Li Ang changed his position to make himself lie more comfortably, "You said, what is the reason for our crossing?"
This question has troubled him all day. It is true that he has gained precious family, friendship, and maybe love in this world.
But he still couldn't understand the reason for all this.
Why is it me?
"Well"
Lu Yunan pondered, "Are you asking about the reason or the meaning?
Through the reason of time travel,
I am not a scientist, an astronaut, or Colonel Chu of the Qianlong Base, but just an ordinary house girl.
The one who sent me to this world may be gods, Buddhas, aliens, or existences that I cannot understand.
According to Occam's Razor, if it is not necessary, do not increase the entity. There are too many possibilities and too little information, so there is no need to delve into it.
As for the meaning
I am not the same as you. I clearly knew that I died of illness in the previous life, and then traveled through time.
The meaning of time travel to me is equivalent to rebirth after death. "
"Is that so?"
Li Ang was a little disappointed with this answer. If he knew clearly that the crossing was caused by a certain **** or Buddha, then he would feel more relaxed.
"That's it."
Lu Yunan nodded and said with a smile: "It's a pity that your memory before time travel is incomplete. Considering that you are a doctor, maybe we have met in the previous life, for example, I have been to the hospital where you are or something."
