Chapter 426: Touch her? How do you want to die?
Her eyes were gentle, yet revealed a hint of fatigue.
Lin Feihong stopped at this moment, looked back at the two of them, frowned and said: "This is not a solution, Brother Chen, you can't walk fast while holding Sister Qingyao, and it will be difficult for us to find the exit.
How about this, I'll go find the exit alone, and you two go in another direction. In an hour, whether you find the exit or not, meet here."
Chen Yile thought for a moment and felt that it made sense, so he nodded in agreement and reminded Lin Feihong to be careful.
Lin Feihong nodded, picked up his stick and walked firmly in another direction, soon disappearing into the darkness.
Chen Yile held Lin Qingyao and continued walking in the opposite direction.
Not long after they walked, Lin Qingyao whispered, "How about... you put me down, it will be faster this way."
Chen Yile refused, and said jokingly, "I told you that you are as light as a cat, don't worry."
Lin Qingyao sighed helplessly, but did not resist anymore. A faint smile appeared on her face, and she seemed to be moved by Chen Yile's persistence.
Just as the two of them were moving forward carefully, suddenly a faint cry came from the front.
The cries were desolate and strange, as if echoing in the silent darkness. Each cry seemed to tear through the air, bringing a chill and penetrating into people's hearts.
Chen Yile's face changed and he looked back vigilantly, only to see the figure of a woman in a red dress vaguely emerging from the darkness.
The pale face was looming in the darkness, with empty eyes, as if staring straight at them.
"Oh no!" Chen Yile's heart tightened, knowing that in his current state, it would be almost impossible to defeat this strange female ghost.
He immediately hugged Lin Qingyao tightly and said hurriedly: "Hold on to me, let's run!"
Lin Qingyao was infected by his nervousness, her heart beat faster, and her hands couldn't help but hug his neck tightly, her whole body pressed against his chest, feeling his solid body temperature. It seemed that at this moment, her fear was also relieved a little.
The two of them ran forward desperately, but the crying sound behind them was getting closer and closer. The female ghost in the red dress was following behind them like a shadow, and her speed was getting faster and faster.
Chen Yile's heart beat faster and cold sweat broke out. He knew he couldn't be caught, but the complicated passage made it impossible for him to determine the direction, as if he was wandering around in a maze.
Suddenly, Chen Yile slipped, and with a "click", the ground suddenly collapsed.
He lost his balance while holding Lin Qingyao, and his body fell suddenly, about to fall into a trap of unknown depth.
At the critical moment, Lin Qingyao moved in his arms, turned over quickly, used her body to protect Chen Yile, and slid down with him.
"Bam—"
The two men fell heavily to the ground, and dust flew up.
Chen Yile only felt a tightness in his chest, but was not injured at all.
He opened his eyes and found that Lin Qingyao had fainted in his arms, with a trace of blood oozing from her forehead and her face was pale.
"Qingyao!" Chen Yile shouted anxiously, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.
He knew that if Lin Qingyao had not risked her life to protect him, he might have been seriously injured in the fall just now.
He looked around and found that this was a huge trap. There were towering stone walls all around, and the top seemed to be more than 20 meters above the ground, making it impossible to climb up.
The surroundings were dark and damp, the stone walls were covered with moss, and the air was filled with the smell of decay.
Chen Yile held Lin Qingyao and carefully checked her condition. He was relieved to find that she had just fainted temporarily.
However, the current situation is not optimistic. They are trapped in this closed space with no exit at all. There is deathly silence all around, as if they were abandoned in an underground tomb.
Just as he was thinking of a countermeasure, he suddenly heard a low whimpering sound coming from a distance, as if something was approaching quietly in the dark.
Chen Yile felt a chill in his heart. He hugged Lin Qingyao tightly, stood up, leaned his back against the stone wall, and looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from.
In the darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly emerged, staring at them with strong resentment.
Chen Yile hugged the unconscious Lin Qingyao tightly, staring at the scarlet eyes that were faintly visible in the darkness.
The female ghost slowly emerged from the darkness. She was wearing a tattered red dress with torn and dragging hems. Her face was as pale as paper, her eye sockets were sunken, and there was a strange smile at the corners of her mouth.
She leaned down slightly, licked her lips lightly with her tongue, and her eyes revealed an unconcealable greed, as if she saw delicious prey.
"Give me this woman to eat, and I will spare you." Her voice was low and hoarse, with a chill that seemed to penetrate into her bones.
There was a flash of anger in Chen Yile's eyes, and he showed no intention of backing down.
He stared back at the ghost girl coldly and responded in a resounding voice, "Touch her? You'd better think about how you want to die first!"
When the female ghost heard this, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, and then she sneered. Her laughter was sharp and piercing, and seemed to echo in the darkness.
Her figure suddenly flashed, like a red shadow, and she quickly pounced towards Chen Yile, aiming directly at Lin Qingyao in his arms!
Chen Yile reacted instantly, quickly protecting Lin Qingyao behind him, clenching his right hand into a fist to protect his vital parts.
However, the ghost girl's strength was far beyond his expectations. She grabbed Lin Qingyao's arm and pulled it hard, dragging her out of Chen Yile's arms!
"Qingyao!" Chen Yile's eyes suddenly turned cold, filled with rage.
He took a step forward, but it was too late. Lin Qingyao's body fell heavily to the ground. She frowned slightly, groaned in pain, and slowly opened her eyes.
Lin Qingyao's consciousness gradually returned, but everything in front of her was blurry.
When her eyes focused on the scene in front of her, she saw the female ghost looking down at her with resentment on her face, a cruel smile on her lips.
"Let her go!" Chen Yile roared, quickly made hand gestures, drew talismans in the air, and muttered something with an awe-inspiring aura.
I saw a golden light gathered from his fingertips, forming a rune suspended in the air. As he pointed his finger, the rune turned into a sharp light and rushed straight towards the female ghost.
When the female ghost saw the rune, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. She flashed and quickly dodged it, but was still hurt by the rune's aura and let out a shrill scream.
She stared at Chen Yile with resentment, and the resentment in her eyes deepened, as if she wanted to tear him into pieces.
"How dare you hurt me!" The female ghost glared at Chen Yile fiercely, her voice filled with tearing anger.
Chen Yile snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes firm and cold, and he showed no sign of giving in.
He quickly took out a small sword from his back. The sword was emitting a faint golden light. It was the Tianshi Sword.
"If you want to touch her, first ask the Tianshi Sword in my hand if it agrees!" Chen Yile said in a deep voice.
