Chen Rui now knew why Tim had been staying in the underground world for the past two years. He was trying to learn more about the elementals and the demonic flies when he heard a medusa come over and hissed, "The queen orders you to meet her immediately!"
Chen Rui learned from Tim that the queen was very suspicious and hostile to outsiders. He immediately held Athena's hand and followed the medusa to the small lake.
In front of the open space, Queen Medusa stood in the middle. There was a row of medusas on both sides. Lysa and Lusa were also among them.
Chen Rui came to Queen Medusa and bowed his head with Athena, "Your Highness, as a gesture of friendship, I have basically cured your people."
Queen Medusa nodded slightly, but the words she said were quite unfriendly, "Unfortunately, your performance can only barely save your life, but you can't get rid of the status of a prisoner. In the future, you must continue to provide healing items to maintain the lives of yourself and your companions."
Chen Rui was taken aback. She changed her attitude too quickly. She did not recognize him after wiping her mouth!
Tim, who followed, could barely understand Queen Medusa's meaning. He quickly explained that Chen Rui and Athena did not have malicious intentions. They were partners who fought against the earth elementals and the demonic flies together. They even saved Lusa's life, so Lysa and Lusa also came out to plead.
"Tim!" Queen Medusa's voice was a little angry, "Don't think that I don't know what you asked Lusa to do today. You even sacrificed several of our people!"
Tim lowered his head. Lysa said, "Mother, don't blame Tim. I asked him to do this. Everything is for the child that is about to be born!"
"How dare you!" Queen Medusa said angrily, "Do you think you and your child can live peacefully on the ground? The creatures on the ground are more cunning and vicious. They see us as enemies. Even if you and Lusa go out, you can't survive! If you use this to attract a large number of outsiders related to Tim, then even the entire medusa tribe may be destroyed! "
Lysa wanted to plead again, but Queen Medusa's golden snake eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent, "Lysa, retreat with your husband! Otherwise, I will kill you! Not only am I your mother, but I am also the Queen of the Medusa tribe! "
Chen Rui had to admit that as the leader of a tribe, Queen Medusa's concerns were not unreasonable, but for him and Athena, it was very bad. He hurriedly said, "Your Royal Highness, perhaps you don't know yet, but the passage to the surface has been destroyed by my enemies. We can only come down and can't go up. Lusa should be able to prove this. My companions and I are now part of the underground world. We are willing to help medusa fight against the earth elementals and the demonic flies. Your Highness, please believe us. "
"Your insignificant powers can help Medusa?" Queen Medusa showed a contemptuous expression. "You outsiders are extremely cunning. Tim is now my daughter's husband, and he has to rely on the Spring of Life to survive. I can barely trust him. As for you … How about this, you kill the woman next to you to prove your loyalty, and then become Medusa's man. I can spare your life and even give you the same privileges as Tim."
Kill the woman next to him? Chen Rui glanced at Athena and tightened his grip on her hand. "Dark Will" had already appeared on the ring finger of his left hand. He asked, "Your Royal Highness, do you think a guy who can kill his own woman to save his life is more trustworthy?"
Queen Medusa sneered and stuck out her snake tongue. She shouted, "Guards, catch them!"
This was the Medusa's lair. Queen Medusa didn't think it was necessary for her to deal with such small characters.
"Take care! Tim, I will try to help you. "Chen Rui sighed. His and Athena's figures began to become distorted and blurred.
Queen Medusa saw that the situation was not good. She instantly appeared in front of Chen Rui. Her golden snake pupils emitted a strange light and looked into Chen Rui's eyes. However, it was already a step too late. Chen Rui, Athena, and the "rope" on his shoulder all disappeared from her sight.
Queen Medusa didn't expect such a "small character" to slip away under her nose. She screamed angrily and set her eyes on Tim, as if she was planning to get involved. Lysa hurriedly stood in front of Tim to protect him, showing a pleading look. Queen Medusa's gaze gradually softened. She hissed with dissatisfaction and turned away.
Somewhere in the underground world, there was a strange distortion in the space. Two figures appeared on the ground out of thin air. It was Athena and Chen Rui.
Athena only felt her vision blur, and her body seemed to be repelled. In an instant, when she woke up, the medusas had all disappeared, and she was surrounded by a completely unfamiliar environment.
Just as she was about to speak, she felt that Chen Rui beside her was strange. His body maintained a strange stiffness. His skin, hair, and even his clothes turned pale gray. His whole body exuded a lifeless aura.
"Petrification!" Athena was shocked. Thinking of Medusa's famous strongest talent, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Now there was no way to return to the surface. Unless she killed Queen Medusa, there was no way to save Chen Rui. The source of all this was because she shouldn't have entered the main pit! In an instant, a thought flashed through Athena's mind. If this man lost his life, she didn't want to live anymore.
Fortunately, this state of stiffness only lasted for a moment. The lifeless gray gradually faded, and he regained his original vitality.
Chen Rui panted heavily. He was still in a state of shock. Medusa's petrification ability was really terrifying, especially when it was personally cast by Queen Medusa whose strength was "unknown". At that moment, not only his consciousness, but even the blood flow of his whole body was solidified. Fortunately, he had the Super System to digest this strange power. Otherwise, even if the teleportation was successful, he would definitely become a lifeless stone statue.
Athena took a long breath. Chen Rui noticed the cold sweat in her palms and gave her a reassuring smile.
The 2 were on a stone beam near the stone wall. The terrain was very high, and the light was relatively dim. They could better observe and see the nearby illumination clearly.
"This place should be safe for the time being." Chen Rui took out a thick cushion from the storage space and pulled Athena to sit down together. "Take a rest first. You fought all night last night, and you experienced that kind of battle just now. You must be very tired."
When there were many outsiders just now, he held Athena's hand, and she didn't feel so nervous. Now that they were alone, she felt particularly nervous, but she didn't withdraw her hand that was held.
"Athena …" ("Chen Rui …")
"En …" ("En …")
Both of them asked and answered at the same time.
"You speak first …" ("You speak first …")
Again, they spoke at the same time.
"You speak first, Athena."
Athena responded, but she was silent for a long time before saying 3 words.
"I'm sorry."
"En, it's okay …"
After a long time.
"I'm sorry …"
"It's okay."
After a while.
"I'm sorry …"
"…"
"I'm sorry …"
"I said it's okay. Don't keep it in your heart."
Athena shook her head and lowered it again, "I didn't listen to you and entered the main pit …"
"You can't be blamed for this. It was Connor's scheme. He instigated the miners to secretly mine and lured you to rescue them. Then, he destroyed the barrier at the entrance. You can enter but not leave."
Athena trembled and lowered her head even more. "You knew that you could enter but not leave. Why did you still come in?"
Chen Rui knew that she was sad. He smiled relaxedly and said, "I've said it before. Stupidity is contagious. I've been infected by you."
Unfortunately, this kind of relaxation could not relieve the heaviness in Athena's heart. Instead, it intensified. Her shoulders shook slightly and drops of tears fell.
"I'm too stupid and fell into a trap!"
"I'm the one who put you in a desperate situation!"
"I'm the one who caused you to lose your life just now!"
"I didn't listen to you …"
"I'm sorry! It's me … "
"I'm sorry!"
"I'm sorry …"
Athena's words stopped abruptly, as if blocked by something. Only a small animal-like whimper could be heard. Gradually, even this sound disappeared.
Almost at the same time, a translucent "rope" that was "in the way" was thrown far away and fell somewhere.
"Ouch!"
The "rope" cried out in pain and gradually turned into the appearance of an onion. Its big eyes stared curiously at the two overlapping figures on the stone beam with a gossipy expression on its face. Although the slime wanted to go over and see clearly, he shuddered when he thought of the threat of a certain unscrupulous master in his consciousness. In the end, he did not have the courage to approach.
Dizziness.
This was Athena's strongest feeling at the moment. The dizziness made her whole body seem to be weightless. She was floating in the beautiful space, and the rest of her vision and hearing had disappeared.
Just now, when this man came close to her, her heartbeat became unprecedentedly intense. She clearly had many lethal moves to use, elbow strikes, throat grabbing … But suddenly, as if she had lost her memory, she couldn't use a single move. She even forgot to dodge. She could only watch as this guy with a strong masculine scent came close to her face, and then imprinted his lips on hers without any hesitation.
For the first time in her life, Athena had such intimate contact with a man.
It's so hateful. He did this to me without any mental preparation!
However, is it possible that with mental preparation, I can …
Soon, this little bit of strange thought was drowned in the wonderful dizziness.
The dizziness finally slowly ended, and it was replaced by a red flush on her face. Athena's chest rose and fell slightly. She felt that the rhythm of her breathing had become a little disordered. Correspondingly, there was a rapid "thump thump" heartbeat. There was still warmth and moist on her lips, which made her a little reluctant to give up that wonderful feeling just now.
When her vision recovered, it was the man's bright eyes, and there was even a trace of mischief in them.
"If you still dare to say the word 'sorry', I'll kiss you again."
Damn this man! Is this a poor excuse to steal Athena Wales' first kiss?
The man's eyes became a little hot again.
That face came closer again. She could already feel his hot breath, and she began to panic again.
As expected, he once again forgot to use his attack.
As expected, the lips that had just lost their first kiss were occupied again.
Then, there was that wonderful dizziness that made her almost unable to breathe.
After a long time, the lips parted.
Her blurry red eyes regained some clarity, and a trace of anger flashed past. This time, she clearly didn't say "sorry", but he still kissed her. There wasn't even a poor excuse!
The man seemed to see through her thoughts, and there was an obvious smile in his eyes. "Although you didn't say 'sorry', I suddenly feel that if I don't continue kissing you, I'll be truly sorry."
Bastard! Scoundrel! Athena's eyes widened a little.
