This Damned Thirst for Survival
chapter-199-30041322

Jiang Luo watched as Teng Bi died.

He was a little confused as to what was going on now, but he knew that he had died at the bottom of Longquan, and yet now he was alive again, and it was Teng Bi who had died instead.

Was it Teng Bi ...... who saved him?

Jiang Luo looked blankly at the ashen-faced Teng Bi before realising that he was being held. He looked up and a bloodied face caught his eye.

Two bloody holes stared dead at Jiang Luo, Jiang Luo heart a fierce pain, "Chi ...... You."

Chi You's formerly handsome and elegant appearance is all gone; he looks like a skinless monster, still bleeding from his body.

He looks at Jiang Luo in silence, reaching out and gently stroking his face as if Jiang Luo would die if he tried any harder.

This is the deepest part of the Dragon Vein, how did Chi You end up here!

Why did Teng Bi, Teng Bi die? Where are the predestined people!

Jiang Luo's face was getting sullen, he had a lot of questions but he couldn't ask a single one, he stared blankly at Chi You and then blankly at Teng Bi.

He knew that now was not the time to count on such things, and that the most important thing he should do was to take the badly wounded Chi You away and take Teng Bi's body and last words with him.

But Jiang Luo still couldn't believe it, and his eyes grew sore.

How Teng Bi died.

After a moment, he reached out with a shaking hand and closed Teng Bi's eyes. Jiang Luo gently pulls Chi You's hand around him and slowly stands up.

He is still very weak and the pain is still lingering. But Jiang Luo has a feeling that his body is becoming incredibly strong.

The power of the offering no longer bothers his body. After recovering well, his body is at least ten times stronger than that of a human.

He was more like a living dead man like Teng Bi, but with the power of worship in his body.

Jiang Luo didn't want to become a false god either. He reached out his hand to the Longquan and a golden python suddenly emerged from the Longquan, which swam around Jiang Luo with the Ring of Yin and Yang at its tail and delivered it to Jiang Luo's hand.

Jiang Luo closed his eyes as he said, word for word, "The Fatal Man."

Infected by his master's rage, the snake scurried through the cave. Jiang Luo picked up Teng Bi's great sword and helped the badly wounded Chi You, putting Chi You's arm on his shoulder.

He looked at Teng Bi lying on the ground and tilted his head uncomfortably, his voice dry as he explained in a low voice, "Teng Bi, Chi You's injury can't be delayed any longer, I'll send him out and come back for you."

Jiang Luo paused and added, "I will take everything you say with me."

Jiang Luo hurriedly took Chi You out of the tomb and placed him in a hidden forest.

Jiang Luo wonders if the Fatal Man has actually left or not, and isn't sure if someone else will try to come and kill Chi You.

He hid Chi You in a safe place where no one was around, and set up a quick formation next to it, just in case Chi You would be attacked by someone.

Chi You watched in silence as he went about his business, never taking his eyes off Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo was softened by the look on his face that he gathered his broken heart and said slowly, "Wait here, I'll go and bring Teng Bi and I'll be back in fifteen minutes at the most."

Chi You sounded hoarse, "Go on."

Jiang Luo took one last look at him, took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Li Sha was awakened by drops of water dripping onto her head.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Teng Bi dead not far away. Li Sha was shocked and got up to see that Teng Bi was really dead, as if he had been poisoned by her.

Li Sha was upset and weak, but couldn't remember what she had done before. But Li Sha is not human, and this little bit of weakness and sadness is quickly put behind her. After looking around and seeing no one else in the area, Li Sha rolled her eyes and walked away from the black hole.

Li Sha cautiously leaves the tomb, halfway through which she sees a strange man in a vest crying and laughing madly, but she doesn't care. But as she approaches the hanging staircase, Li Sha sees a Taoist priest holding a half-dead Ge Wuchen as he walks out.

Li Sha deftly hides and pokes out a pair of eyes to see.

The Taoist priest's eyes were red and swollen, Ge Wuchen seemed to have fainted, and they soon left the hanging ladder.

Only when they were gone did Li Sha dare to come out. Soon, Li Sha came to the river at the entrance to the cave

There was no more Teng Bi, no more Ge Wuchen, no more Chi You. Li Sha is tempted to run away. She looks down at the river, hesitates for a few seconds, jumps happily into the river and disappears in a flash.

Shortly after she jumped into the water, a loud bang followed and the whole cave collapsed.

*

When Jiang Luo returned, he saw the collapsed tomb.

The entrance to the cave is blocked up so tightly with stone and mud that the whole of the ground has collapsed.

Jiang Luo's heart is cold.

He stood frozen in place for several minutes, waiting until it was almost time for his appointment with Chi You before he left in a trance.

The place where Chi You was hidden was not far away, still deep in the Dragon Vein, and Jiang Luo basically did not recover a bit in the time it took him to come and go. The first order of business was to get Chi You down the mountain.

Jiang Luo and Chi You are both wounded, Jiang Luo a little better as he is recovering fast from his injuries. But not so much for the Evil Ghost, who has been wounded to the core and is now hanging on by a thread. Jiang Luo knows that the country's forces are still hiding in Dawu Mountain, and he has to take Chi You not only to avoid possible enemies, but also the troops.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful and Jiang Luo finally brought Chi You to the foot of the mountain. He found a secluded bamboo grove and laid Chi You down on the side, relieved.

But in an instant, a dozen more stones were weighing on his heart.

As if finally noticing the horror of his image, Chi You closed his bloodshot eyes and asked in a low, muffled voice, " Where is Teng Bi."

"The tomb collapsed and he was buried at the bottom," Jiang Luo looked dark, "Chi You, did you see the couplet in Hall of Hades when you entered the tomb?"

Chi You: "Hmm?"

"There is a saying on it, 'A case of death has not yet been done, but one can still hope to return to life'," Jiang Luo said, "The person in the coffin died and woke up, and woke up and died so many times that he could come back to life. If we get through to the underworld in hell, can we bring Teng Bi back?"

Chi You did not reply.

Jiang Luo's heart sank, knowing that the chances were slim.

Because that horse-coated corpse is a god, capable of absorbing dragon energy, or a god of the Fated One, there may be some contractual connection with the Fated One. But Teng Bi is the living dead.

The living dead, on the other hand, are people who have died once long ago.

Jiang Luo is determined to find Teng Bi's body when he recovers, no matter how difficult it may be.

The Longquan cave is made of solid stone walls and has only a small opening above the head, so even if the tomb collapses, the Longquan cave will not collapse, much less crush Teng Bi's body.

No matter how small the chance was, he wanted to give it a try. He knew someone in hell, too, and it was Hei Wuchang.

Jiang Luo pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "How are you?"

He is now a little afraid to look at Chi You.

It is not because Chi You looks scary, but because when he sees Chi You like this, he imagines that Chi You saved him. And when he thinks of this image, Jiang Luo feels a dull pain that makes it difficult to breathe.

Jiang Luo could easily understand what Chi You had done when he was hurt like this.

It was Longquan, and he was an evil spirit, and he just rushed in.

Jiang Luo's heart was sour and he felt that their previous quarrel was nothing.

Chi You's injuries are bad, but he's calm and reassuring at the moment, making these pains not unbearable, "Not bad."

Jiang Luo slowly moved to sit beside him.

It is strange that feelings that were previously understood when life and death were at stake, but now cannot be spoken.

The waves of emotion that he feels inside him are so hot that they are on the verge of overflowing, but when it comes to Chi You, he is unable to express his feelings in a straightforward manner.

Jiang Luo suddenly remembers how Chi You refused to admit to liking him before, and was forced by him to throw up his arms and flee.

The two of them are really identical personalities in some ways.

After a long time.

"Thanks this time," Jiang Luo whispered, "don't do it next time."

Chi You opened his eyes and the skin on his face came back halfway. It was as if light and darkness had been cut, half perfectly handsome, half twisted like a devil.

His eyes were dark, clouded with a haze of blood. Deep emotions ebbed and flowed in his eyes, ebbing and flowing, and he looked into Jiang Luo's rejuvenated face, into his glowing eyes, and said faintly, "No."
