Trapped in a dark and cold world, Nicai felt a deep sense of loneliness. She could hear her father's voice through the communication crystal. It was her only hope. As a warrior, Nicai tried her best to control her emotions so that her father would not worry about her. However, she could not get rid of the loneliness. She could only bear it alone.
The pain in her left leg had subsided. It was probably because of the spray. However, the broken bone could not be healed. Nicai found two thin alloy plates and took off her underwear. She wrapped it around her leg and made a simple splint. With the protection of the splint, she could finally move slowly. The energy drink she brought with her could last her for another half a day.
"If Dongfang He can get me out of here, I might as well say yes to his proposal. Jia Yuntian is fine too, although he seems a bit cold." Nicai could not help but let her imagination run wild.
Humans were born with a need for companionship. You might not feel it normally, but when you were sick and lying on the bed powerlessly, without even the strength to pour a glass of water, you would naturally think of how nice it would be if you had a boyfriend or girlfriend who could talk to you and cook you a bowl of steaming hot Eight Treasures Porridge.
Ni Chai happened to be in such a situation. Although she was a goddess, Ni Chai actually did not have much of a choice. Jia Yuntian and Dongfang He, these two fellows, had scared away almost all the men. The boys of her age paled in comparison to Ni Chai and did not have the courage to pursue her.
A lot of guys didn't understand why those outstanding girls would usually marry someone who wasn't outstanding. That was because everyone knew their own limitations and didn't chase after them. They couldn't expect a goddess to chase after them, right? The reason why they married scumbags was because scumbags had a sweet mouth and were shameless.
"Nicai, it's Xia Fan." Xia Fan's voice suddenly came through the communication crystal. Nicai was a little surprised.
"Huh? It's you … "
"Yes. Because I have already understood the demonic sound, the city lord asked me to help you escape," said Xia Fan.
Nicai was shocked. She felt that Dongfang He and Jia Yuntian were the most anxious ones when she was trapped. They would definitely try their best to understand the demonic sound. They might even ride a white horse and come down from the sky to get her out of this place.
However, it was Xia Fan, a stranger whom she had only met once, who appeared when Nicai needed him the most. Was this a coincidence, or was it an inevitability that existed in the dark?
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'm sorry to have caused trouble for you and everyone else." Nicai said politely.
"Haha, if you are trouble, then I am quite willing to be troubled. Although my eyes are closed, my nose is very good. I know that there are a lot of animals staring at me with jealousy, especially your two suitors. I am afraid they want to eat me alive. Alright, enough nonsense. Do as I say and I will take you out of here," said Xia Fan.
Pfft ~
Nicai couldn't help but laugh. She didn't expect Xia Fan to be so humorous. Thinking about it, Dongfang He and Jia Yuntian must be in a bad mood right now.
In the darkness and silence, Xia Fan's humor was like a ray of precious sunlight, shining into Ni Chai's heart. His confident tone gave Ni Chai confidence. Although she did not know Xia Fan at all, she instinctively felt that he was trustworthy.
"Now, follow this path and keep observing your surroundings. After four hundred and sixty-three steps, you will see an intersection," Xia Fan said.
Nicai was startled, "Four hundred and sixty-three steps? You have even calculated the number of steps? "
Xia Fan said calmly, "It's very simple. I have observed you. The radius of each step is 0.84 meters. Now that you are injured, your left leg is fractured, and the coefficient is 0.65. In other words, you can only move 0.546 meters per step. The distance is divided by 0.546 to get the number of steps you need to move. There is an error of two percent."
What a strange man …
Even though they were in a dangerous situation, Nicai was suddenly very curious about Xia Fan. She wanted to know what kind of man he was, to be able to calculate how many steps she needed to move, even to the point where she needed to move.
"I can use my wings to fly over," Nicai said.
She suddenly felt a little stubborn and angry. Xia Fan must have been observing her. He even knew the distance she needed to move. This guy had ulterior motives. Nicai felt like she was completely under Xia Fan's control. She was like a puppet with a string in Xia Fan's hand.
"Don't joke around. You should save your energy. The divine wings are indeed strong, but the energy consumption is too high. The coefficient is 4.9. I estimate that you don't have much energy left. You should save it for a critical moment," Xia Fan said with a smile.
"I knew it! There is something fishy about this guy. He is so observant! " Nicai thought. She was shocked and embarrassed. She felt like she had been stripped naked. Xia Fan was omnipotent and knew everything. Maybe he even knew her underwear size backwards.
Of course, Nicai was wrong. Observation was Xia Fan's instinct. He had always been like this. He did not remember Nicai's physical characteristics. He remembered everyone he met.
Ni Chai was silent, but Xia Fan could not stop talking. This was not because Xia Fan liked to ramble, but because he knew Ni Chai's current situation. Having a voice to accompany her would make her feel less lonely and calm down.
So Xia Fan kept talking. He told her about the books he had read and the strange things he had heard from the scourges. He was like a stand-up comedian. There was no audience or applause, but he was still doing his best to perform.
"I have arrived at a crossroads. Which one should I take?"
"The one in the middle."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course. A lot of your admirers are staring at me. It is very stressful, okay? If I dare to point the wrong way, they will break my third leg, "Xia Fan said in an exaggerated tone.
* Pfft! *
Nicai laughed again. "Hey, you stinky hooligan. If you continue to be so glib-tongued, I will ignore you."
Nicai wanted to be more serious, but she was always amused by Xia Fan's jokes that were not funny. When she laughed, she felt a lot more relaxed. She felt that with Xia Fan's company, it was not so difficult.
"Stinky hooligan? Are they flirting? "
"What is going on? Have Nicai and Xia Fan known each other for a long time? "
At this moment, there were many people around Xia Fan. Although they were trying their best not to make a sound, their faces were full of disbelief.
The situation was too strange. Wanting to say a few more words to Nicai was such a difficult thing to do. A being like a goddess was naturally unattainable. Although Nicai was very kind to everyone, this kind of kindness was courtesy, and there was a clear sense of distance.
But what was she doing with Xia Fan? They chatted and laughed unscrupulously, almost holding hands and running into the afterglow of the setting sun!
Xia Fan said something about a third leg, and Nicai shyly called him a stinky hooligan. Are you kidding me?! This should be a conversation between lovers, right?
"Xia Fan has successfully gained Nicai's trust. In a dangerous mission like this, trust is the most important thing. You must remember this. If one day, a companion needs help, you must be like Xia Fan. Do everything possible to make them relax. Tell jokes and talk about light topics. These are all good strategies," Calvinson said seriously, as if he was teaching everyone.
Xia Fan flirted with a goddess, and in the end, he was praised by the city lord?
The crowd was very upset, but they had to admit that Xia Fan's performance was very interesting. He relied on his humorous words and accurate judgment of the environment to guide Nicai to escape.
Even a fool could tell that Nicai was very relaxed. She had completely handed herself over to Xia Fan. If Xia Fan asked her to take 15 steps, Nicai would never take 16. Xia Fan asked Nicai to turn to her right hand at 3: 15 and Nicai followed his instructions strictly.
This was not easy. Xia Fan first measured the path and distance of the Demon Palace, and then in his mind, he perfectly simulated Nicai's movements. They could not see each other, but they seemed to be one.
Now that things had come to this, what else could he say?
This was probably what a genius was.
The story of Xia Fan taming two top-level griffins had just spread in Hidden Demon City. Now, he showed his strong comprehension ability, affinity, and leadership ability. Watching Nicai walk out of the Demon Palace step by step, Dongfang He and Jia Yuntian were extremely jealous, but they were also sincerely convinced. If it were them, they might not be able to do what Xia Fan did.
In the midst of casual chatting, Xia Fan was leading Nicai through a series of mechanisms, pulling her back, who was already half a step into the gates of hell.
Nicai did not feel any danger at all. She thought that Xia Fan was being funny, but she did not know that in reality, Xia Fan's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. His brain was like a high-speed computer, running crazily. He had to calculate every step that Nicai took. Behind his calm demeanor, there was an effort that ordinary people could not match.
"I'm really in the main hall! 150 meters away is the Flame Devil King Stanley's throne, the throne burning with blood and fire. I can't be wrong, I've seen it in a book! "Nicai's voice came, and she seemed to be surprised.
"Congratulations, you have done well along the way, but we can't be proud yet, because the most serious test actually begins now." Xia Fan said with a smile, "If you strictly follow my instructions and stand on the line of the side door, then you are 162.3 meters away from the throne. Next, you have to do this …"
