Zuo Tianlei had thought of finding a treasure, but the treasure she was thinking of was either gold, silver, jewels, or exquisite antiques. Zuo Tianlei would never have imagined that she would actually find a person.
Wait a minute, Mr. Fangzheng and Miss Felicia mentioned that this city had been conquered for almost a hundred years, right?!
When she recalled the introduction that Felicia gave them on the Void Radiant Ship, a chill ran down her spine.
Could it be that she was already dead? That couldn't be right.
If she was already dead, she would have turned into bones after almost a hundred years. Zuo Tianlei took a closer look and found that it was just an ordinary box. There were no wires connected to it, and it didn't look like a glass jar like in the movies. The girl's chest was still rising and falling, which meant that she was still breathing!
She was just asleep!
"Are you okay?"
Zuo Tianlei curiously leaned against the box and carefully poked the girl's cheek with her finger.
'Wow, what a beautiful girl. Her skin is white, soft, smooth, and her eyelashes are so long. She looks so beautiful …'
Zuo Tianlei stared at the girl in front of her, completely entranced. Under Zuo Tianlei's gaze, the girl slowly opened her eyes.
"Wow!"
This gave Zuo Tianlei a fright and she hurriedly stood up. Under Zuo Tianlei's gaze, the girl slowly stood up and walked out of the box.
"Um … Hello?"
Zuo Tianlei carefully greeted the girl in front of her.
"My name is Zuo Tianlei. What's your name? Can you understand what I'm saying? "
"… ….."
The girl slowly raised her head, as if she was thinking, but also as if she had just woken up from a dream and was still in a daze. Then, without saying a word, she walked towards the door.
"Huh? Wait, where are you going? "
Zuo Tianlei was dumbfounded when he saw that the girl was about to leave. He hurriedly chased after her.
"This city is deserted. I heard from Miss Felicia that this place has been occupied by the corrupted beasts for almost a hundred years. There are only a few of us here … Ah, why don't I take you to Mr. Fangzheng? You can talk to him. I'm sure Mr. Fangzheng will help you …."
"… Smell …."
"Eh?"
However, before Zuo Tianlei could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the blue-haired girl.
"Annoying."
"… Eh? Eh? "
"You smell like a human."
The blue-haired girl slowly looked at Zuo Tianlei before turning her head back.
"So, I hate you."
"… Eh?!!"
Teardrop was stunned by the girl's sudden declaration. She didn't know what to say. After saying that, the girl walked forward again.
"Ah, wait for me …!"
Although he was puzzled, Lei Zi wasn't willing to let this girl wander around the city alone, so he hurriedly chased after her.
"Umm … what's your name?"
"…"
"Really, this city has already been abandoned. It's very dangerous for you to be alone. Ah, don't worry, we're not bad people. Mr Fangzheng is only here to investigate some things in the city centre …. "
As she spoke, the blue-haired girl stopped. It wasn't because she heard Teardrop's words, but because … the road in front of her had collapsed.
"Umm … really, you should come back with me to look for Mr Fangzheng first. We only got into this place through a special method. I'm afraid it's impossible for you to get out …."
At this moment, the blue-haired young lady turned around and looked at Tear. But just as she was about to speak, an ear-piercing creak resounded. In the next moment, the steel plate beneath her feet suddenly broke, and then she fell directly to the ground!
"Not good!"
Pa!!
Zuo Tianlei reacted quickly. He grabbed the girl's hand the moment she fell. At the same time, Zuo Tianlei's other hand grabbed the railing next to him.
"Quick, come up …."
"…."
The blue-haired girl looked at Zuo Tianlei's hand in disbelief. However, she immediately extended her other hand towards Zuo Tianlei's grasp.
But at that moment ….
"Kacha … Kacha …."
After all, this structure was built more than a hundred years ago. After such a long period of exposure to wind and rain, it had long decayed. The railing that Teardrop used to stabilize his body gradually bent and broke. Zuo Tianlei's face turned pale when he felt the railing in his hand slowly distorting.
"Quick! I, I can't hold on any longer …. "
"Pa!"
At that moment, the blue-haired girl's other hand finally grabbed Zuo Tianlei, but ….
"Clang!!"
At that moment, the railing finally reached its limit and shattered with an ear-piercing noise. Zuo Tianlei, who had lost his balance, was dragged down by the blue-haired girl. The two of them fell down the broken staircase and into the darkness!
"Argh …. I'm going to die! Hold on to me! "
Zuo Tianlei shouted. She grabbed the blue-haired girl's hand tightly and held her in her arms. At the same time, Zuo Tianlei gritted his teeth. Soon, a violent hurricane appeared beside Zuo Tianlei and turned into a jet of air to slow down their falling speed. Then, Zuo Tianlei stretched out his hand and slapped hard on the side. The moment the two of them landed, they immediately spun horizontally and rolled on the ground. After rolling a few times on the ground with the girl in his arms, the two of them finally stopped.
"Phew …. Thank goodness …."
Zuo Tianlei slowly heaved a sigh of relief. One must know that she really thought she was going to die just now …. It seemed that exploring the ruins wasn't that easy after all.
"Are you okay?"
Zuo Tianlei hurriedly looked at the blue-haired girl in his arms and asked. The blue-haired girl shook her head slightly.
"Phew …. It's good that you're okay. Can you stand up?"
Zuo Tianlei stood up and extended her hand to the blue-haired girl. The blue-haired girl stared at Zuo Tianlei's hand for a moment, then reached out to hold Zuo Tianlei's hand and stood up.
"Ugh …. What should I do now?"
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, Zuo Tianlei realized that something was wrong. Her flashlight was broken when she rescued Rei, and her phone was still in her pants pocket, but ….
"Yeah, it's only natural that there's no signal."
Zuo Tianlei looked at the word 'Outside' on the screen and expressed her calmness. After all, this was another world. It would be strange if there was a signal.
"Anyway, I'll just stay here for now. Mr. Fangzheng and the others will definitely come looking for me if they find out that I'm missing. Ugh …. But I'll probably get a good scolding."
Zuo Tianlei was a little dejected. She could foresee that Mr. Fangzheng might not bring her here anymore. After all, she was the one who caused trouble …. Although strictly speaking, it wasn't her fault, there was no point in discussing it now.
"I'll be nagged by Mr. Shirai on the way back …. Ah … Chu Chun isn't here either. I'm screwed this time ….!"
However, before he could finish his words, Zuo Tian Lei 'zi suddenly stopped.
Not because of anything else, but because of fear.
An instinctive sense of fear was warning her that some danger was approaching ….
"Boom!!"
At the same time, the ground not far from Zuo Tianlei and the blue-haired girl suddenly collapsed. Then, a huge beetle-like monster poked its head out and stared at Zuo Tianlei. It looked similar to the group of monsters Fangzheng encountered before, but it was relatively smaller. The monsters Fangzheng encountered were as big as heavy tanks, but this monster was about the size of an ordinary motorcycle.
But for Zuo Tianlei, this was obviously terrifying enough!
"This is a Corrupted Beast!?"
Although Zuo Tianlei had never seen a Corrupted Beast before, Fangzheng had told them about it. When she saw this terrifying monster, she immediately thought of it.
"Boom boom boom!!" “
Following that, a few more Corrupted Beasts crawled out from the ground and stared coldly at Zuo Tianlei. Seeing this, Zuo Tianlei grabbed the blue-haired girl's hand without hesitation, turned around, and ran.
"Follow me!"
Zuo Tianlei originally wanted to stay where she was and wait for help, but since the monsters had arrived before her, she could only run for her life. Zuo Tianlei's judgment of her own ability was very accurate. If the other party was a human, she might be able to put up a fight, but she had no experience in dealing with monsters like this. Besides, she wasn't sure if her ability would be effective against these monsters ….
So, out of the thirty-six stratagems, the best strategy was to run!
With that thought in mind, Zuo Tianlei grabbed the blue-haired girl's hand and ran towards the other side of the tunnel.
"Boom —!!"
At the same time, Corrupted Beasts crawled out from the ground from all directions and pounced towards Zuo Tianlei and the blue-haired girl.
Under such circumstances, Zuo Tianlei quickly realized that the situation was not good.
"We're surrounded …."
Standing at the T-shaped tunnel entrance and looking at the Corrupted Beasts in all directions, Zuo Tianlei's expression changed slightly.
"There's no other way …."
Zuo Tianlei muttered to herself and looked at the blue-haired girl beside her.
"I'll ambush from the right and try my best to open up a gap. You have to run out immediately and call Mr. Fangzheng to save me. I'll try my best to hold on until then!"
"… Why?"
At that moment, the blue-haired girl grabbed Zuo Tianlei's hand and looked at her silently.
"Why? You want to save me?"
"Because I want to be friends with you."
Zuo Tianlei smiled at the blue-haired girl's answer and raised the sword in her hand.
"I don't know who you are or what you've been through, but it's precisely because of this that I want to be friends with you. Besides, since someone is in danger right in front of me, I can't just leave her to die! If this goes on, both of us will die. Since that's the case, it's better to save one of us! "
After saying that, Zuo Tianlei's aura suddenly erupted. In the next moment, Zuo Tianlei charged forward and raised her sword at the Corrupted Beast in front of her! Seeing that its prey had delivered itself to its doorstep, the polluted beast raised its forelimbs and swung them down.
"Wall of Wind!"
The moment the Corrupted Beast attacked, Zuo Tianlei swung her sword. A strong wind rose from the ground and formed a barrier to block the Corrupted Beast's attack. Zuo Tianlei gripped her sword tightly and the aura around her rotated and expanded rapidly.
"Gale Slash!"
Along with the swing of the blade, the wind was compressed, swung, and shot out rapidly. The swirling tornado was like a chain that tightly bound the polluted beast in front of him. Its front limbs were completely severed, and the polluted beast let out a furious roar as it felt the pain.
"Great, we got it!"
Zuo Tianlei exclaimed in excitement. But what happened in the next second surprised her.
The front limb of the polluted beast that was cut off suddenly grew a new layer of tender flesh. Then, the flesh hardened at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the front limb of the polluted beast had recovered to its original state!
"It can't be!"
Zuo Tianlei was dumbfounded. But she didn't have the time to think because the storm that was used to bind the Corrupted Beast had weakened. The Corrupted Beast let out a furious roar and broke free from the wind's recovery. It swung its sword at Zuo Tianlei again!
"Shit!!"
Bang!!
This time, Zuo Tianlei only managed to raise her sword in time. The next moment, she was sent flying by the Corrupted Beast and slammed heavily into the wall behind her.
"Argh!!"
The violent impact and pain caused Zuo Tianlei to scream in pain. She opened her eyes, but all she could see was a blurry wriggling shadow.
Oh no, I need to get up quickly ….
Zuo Tianlei wanted to stand up, but the attack just now had injured her quite badly. She felt a burning pain all over her body when she moved. Her strength flowed out of her body like the air in a broken balloon.
Clap!
But at that moment, Zuo Tianlei suddenly felt someone holding her right hand. She turned around and saw the blue-haired girl looking at her silently.
"Why … .didn't you run?"
"I don't understand. You're a human, but you're different from others … .because you're different … .so …."
As the blue-haired girl spoke, a gust of wind erupted and enveloped Zuo Tianlei and Zuo Tianlei.
'Is this … wind? Is this girl an ability user too? '
Zuo Tianlei was shocked to see this scene. But at that moment, the blue-haired girl was holding her hand. A clear and sweet voice appeared in Zuo Tianlei's mind.
"The beautiful starry night, the thread of attraction, we fall in love with each other. In the Sky Plain, the fear of pursuing is hidden deep in the heart …."
'What is this? It feels like it's coming directly from my mind ….'
When she heard the voice, Teardrop discovered that she seemed to have become one with the wind. She did not notice that at the same time, a mysterious symbol had appeared on her forehead ….
The next moment, Zuo Tianlei opened her eyes again, but ….
"What's this?!"
Zuo Tianlei was completely stunned when she saw the huge azure blade in her right hand.
