Lu Chen and Atsu, who were about to stand up in a relaxed manner, suddenly froze at the same time. They watched in shock as Huo Yan's huge body crashed down like a collapsing mountain, heavily smashing into the ground with a dull thud.
This sound was painful to listen to. If there were any more crisp cracking sounds, Lu Chen would have thought that Huo Yan had probably broken his own bones.
The man and dog were stunned on the ground for a moment, then they looked at each other. Atsu also seemed to be very confused. He looked at Huo Yan, then looked at Lu Chen, then suddenly jumped up, his tail wagging wildly, and barked a few times at Lu Chen, actually revealing a look of flattery.
Lu Chen spat and pushed away the big dog head that had come up to him. He angrily scolded, "Are you stupid? How could it be me?!"
After saying that, he hurriedly went forward to check on Huo Yan's condition.
Atsu seemed to have let bygones be bygones, and seemed to be in a good mood. He followed beside Lu Chen, sticking his head out to look at Huo Yan. From time to time, he would use his nose to sniff the Barbarian's body a few times.
After a brief inspection, Lu Chen discovered that there were no bleeding wounds on Huo Yan's body. Of course, there were no signs of any broken bones. It seemed that everything was fine. But this Barbarian warrior, who was as strong as a bull, was currently inexplicably unconscious. At the same time, his chest was heaving up and down rapidly, his breathing was also rapid. His eyes had turned white, and his cheeks were swollen red. He looked like a fish that had been thrown onto the shore, or a monster that had strangled his throat and made him unable to breathe. He looked like he was in extreme pain.
Lu Chen was also momentarily stunned and at a loss for what to do. He and Ah-Tu had entered this place without any problems, but only Huo Yan had encountered such a strange thing. Even if he wanted to save him, he didn't know where to start.
Lu Chen furrowed his brows and tried to get Huo Yan to lie flat, or help him turn over. However, these simple movements were obviously of no help to this Barbarian who had suddenly fallen into a painful coma. Huo Yan was still unconscious, and as time passed, his appearance became worse and worse.
His cheeks were getting redder and redder, and his breathing was getting weaker. At the same time, his eyes were showing signs of bulging out.
Upon seeing Huo Yan's current state, Lu Chen could not help but feel his scalp turn numb. If this strange state continued, he subconsciously felt that something extremely terrifying and horrifying would most likely happen to this Barbarian.
But how was she going to save him?
Immediately pulling Huo Yan away from this mysterious tree hole was naturally the simplest and fastest method. However, the outside of the tree hole was likely surrounded by a large pack of incomparably ferocious Demonic Wolves. They were fuming with rage, and were furiously roaring as they dug three feet into the ground in order to find their missing prey. Once they left, only death would await them.
Moreover, if he wanted Huo Yan to leave this place, Lu Chen himself would have to leave as well. In other words, Lu Chen would have to risk his life to help Huo Yan leave this place.
Although Lu Chen felt that this Barbarian Huo Yan was quite pleasing to the eye, he could forget about paying such a huge price.
However, other than this, this cave was only so big. Other than the few things that he had thrown here, there was nothing else. In fact, Lu Chen did not even know what had caused Huo Yan to suddenly become like this, let alone find a way to save him.
He stood up, and glanced at his surroundings in annoyance. Everywhere was the same. The ground, the tree walls, the hazy green Qi, and at most, the two doorways that were faintly discernible embedded in the tree walls. Everything was the same as usual, but just what was it that caused Huo Yan to become so unaccustomed to this place the moment he entered...
The only exit could not be exited, and there were similarly no other paths to take in this tree hole. Huo Yan's situation was getting worse and worse. In the blink of an eye, his cheeks were so red that it seemed as if blood was about to drip out. The bulges in his eyes grew larger and larger, as if something was about to explode in his body. It was truly a terrifying sight.
In this anxious moment, Lu Chen recalled that before Huo Yan had entered this ancient tree hole, other than himself and Atsu, there was actually another person who had come here.
White Lotus.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly fell into deep thought. That day when White Lotus had entered here, she seemed to have encountered an accident. When she had entered, she had also fallen unconscious. However, what was different from Huo Yan was that she did not experience any difficulty in breathing, nor did her eyeballs bulge out of her body.
Lu Chen was even more at a loss for a moment. Looking at the surroundings of the tree hole again, he felt that this tree hole that was originally very familiar to him had suddenly become a little strange. It was a little more sinister and scary, but he just couldn't tell what was strange about it.
Why was he the only one who had entered without any problems?
What was the problem?
Lu Chen forcefully shook his head, throwing away the messy and distracting thoughts in his mind. At this moment, the most important thing was to think of a way to save Huo Yan's life. Otherwise, if this barbarian died, his only hope of returning to the north would most likely be lost.
But, how was he going to save him...
… …
There was no way to leave, and there were no elixirs or elixirs. Looking at Huo Yan's current situation, it was obvious that the blood and Qi in his body were under some kind of pressure. It was stimulated to the extreme and looked like it was about to explode.
His expression was already extremely ugly, and two thin streaks of blood had already flowed down from his bulging eye sockets. Lu Chen did not doubt that if he still did not think of a way, this barbarian would very likely explode in front of him in a short while.
That scene, just thinking about it was extremely frightening. Lu Chen's forehead was also dripping with cold sweat. However, the situation in front of him seemed to be a dead end. There was no way out at all.
Just as he was feeling extremely anxious, he saw that the Black Dog beside him did not seem to be interested in this tense atmosphere. At first, it would still curiously sniff Huo Yan, but very quickly, it walked away. At this time, it walked to the puddle in the tree hole, lying there and looking into the water. It seemed that the water there was much more interesting than this.
Water!
All of a sudden, Lu Chen's body trembled violently.
Everything in this huge ancient tree hole was exactly the same. The only thing that was different was the puddle in the middle of the tree hole.
This thought flashed through Lu Chen's mind like a spark. He suddenly looked back and saw that Huo Yan's situation had reached the most critical point, and he was in danger of exploding at any time. At this time, he could not care so much. With a light shout, he directly grabbed Huo Yan's body and dragged him forward, all the way to the puddle.
Atsu, who was originally lying on the edge of the water and looking at its own reflection, jumped up in shock. Before it could even react, it heard a 'whoosh' and a black shadow flashed past in front of it. A moment later, Huo Yan's huge body was directly thrown into the puddle by Lu Chen.
"Dong!"
With a loud bang, water splashed all over the place, splashing all over Ah-Tu, who was caught off guard, and splashed all over his body.
Atsu screamed and took two steps back. Then, it bared its teeth and barked at Huo Yan in the puddle, looking very angry.
As for Lu Chen, he had jumped away in advance and was not splashed much by the water. However, he was more concerned about Huo Yan's situation. After the water splashed, he quickly leaned forward again, wanting to see if this barbarian would be better in the water.
Actually, Lu Chen did not have much confidence in his own ability. Right now, it was just a desperate attempt. If this method did not work, then Huo Yan could only blame himself for being unlucky.
The water in the puddle trembled violently, swaying non-stop. Huo Yan's body was bobbing up and down in the water, but there were no signs of him waking up.
Lu Chen's heart sank slightly. Could it be that the heavens want you dead?
Atsu, who was at the side, came over curiously. It leaned against Lu Chen's side and looked. Seeing that Huo Yan did not move for a long time, it snorted and began to shake its body to get rid of the water droplets on its body.
For a moment, the sound of water splashing could be heard, and the water droplets splashed everywhere, splashing all over Lu Chen's body.
Lu Chen cursed and pushed the stupid dog away. At this moment, he did not have the mood to argue with it. He was still carefully watching Huo Yan in the water. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he let out a sound of surprise.
He saw that Huo Yan's entire body was submerged in the water. Although he was still unconscious, he did not know why, but the red color on his face was slowly receding. His pair of scary bulging eyes were also slowly calming down, gradually returning to normal.
This puddle was actually effective!
For a moment, Lu Chen did not know what to say. After a while, he laughed and let out a long breath. He then stood up and said indifferently, "Consider yourself lucky."
… …
Without a doubt, this puddle was the most miraculous thing in this mysterious ancient tree hole. In the past, when Lu Chen was tormented by the evil curse of burning his body and soul, he had also hidden in this place to struggle at death's door. After ten years, he had finally broken free from the frightening Black Flame Curse, but at the same time, he had used up all the life essence in this puddle.
Today, the water in this puddle was no different from an ordinary puddle. But today, it seemed to have saved Huo Yan's life. Even though Lu Chen did not understand the reason behind this.
He waited for a while by the side of the puddle. After seeing that Huo Yan's condition had mostly returned to normal, he picked up Huo Yan's head and placed it at the side, slightly away from the water. This was to prevent Huo Yan from suffocating to death if he stayed underwater for a long time.
During this time, he was extremely careful, afraid that something would happen if Huo Yan showed his head. If that was the case, then he really could not do anything.
But fortunately, it seemed that Huo Yan, whose body was mostly submerged in the water, was no longer in that strange situation and had returned to normal. However, just like White Lotus, he was still unconscious.
After placing Huo Yan down, Lu Chen walked to the side and sat down next to Atsu.
Atsu raised its head and looked at him. Lu Chen also smiled at it. Then, he frowned slightly and said to Atsu in a soft voice, "Atsu, do you also feel that it's strange? Why is it like this? What is it that the two of us have that they don't? "
