Chapter 45 No road ahead
Hearing Gu Jue's firm tone, Lu Sangjiu guessed that he might know something.
For example, is there a formation trap he has set over there, or is there a route that can escape here unimpeded?
The thought flashed through his heart, Lu Sangjiu no longer hesitated, pulled Chi Yan and followed Gu Jue's footsteps.
Because the book is from the heroine's perspective, Lu Sangjiu actually doesn't know much about Gu Jue.
I don’t know if he is like Ye Zhiyao, he takes all the opportunities, and all the sacrifices are made by his teammates?
But right now, she has no better choice, so just run away with him. If something unexpected happens later, it won't be too late to leave Chi Yan.
As Lu Sangjiu ran, he could still hear the screams of some monsters or monks coming from behind.
She couldn't help but look back, and she happened to see the huge white jade toad sticking out its tongue, rolling up a monk and swallowing it.
At the same time, someone ran past, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Lu Sangjiu's eyes were blurred by the dust, and physiological tears instantly blurred her eyes.
The next moment, she heard Gu Jue say in a low voice, "Don't look... I know you are kind-hearted, but we can't save them at this time."
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
She turned her head to look at Gu Jue with tears in her eyes, "...well, fellow Daoist Gu, don't be too sad, we all tried our best."
Although it was not intentional, it seemed that her image of a beautiful person and a kind heart was more deeply ingrained in Gu Jue's heart?
Out of trust in Gu Jue's identity as the male protagonist, Lu Sangjiu followed him all the way.
Until they reached the cliff... Lu Sangjiu's trust in Gu Jue suddenly collapsed.
"...Fellow Daoist Gu, there is no way ahead."
She stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at Gu Jue expressionlessly, waiting for an explanation.
She had just taken a look, and there were clouds and mist below... It was certain that it was very high here. They couldn't fly now, and they would definitely not be able to get down.
Gu Jue nodded without changing his expression, "Yes, I saw it."
He was still calm, but Lu Sangjiu was no longer calm, "So... you brought us here, wasn't it because you knew the route out of here?"
Gu Jue looked at her with puzzled eyes: "If I knew the route, how could I be blocked by the monster in front of the swamp in the first place?"
Lu Sangjiu: "..."
It made sense, but she was speechless.
Liu Xi next to him looked at his senior brother: "Then let's go in another direction?"
Lin Ziyi: "It doesn't seem to work...the cliff stretches out for a long time, and there are no roads going both ways. If you go back, you have to face the toad again."
Chi Yan immediately shook his head, "You can't beat that toad, so you can't go back!"
Lu Sangjiu was also speechless. As expected of a male protagonist, there were countless roads, but he just led them to a dead end.
"Go that way. If you're lucky, you should be able to avoid the White Jade Toad."
Lu Sangjiu heard the voice and looked over, only to realize that their teammate just now had also run over with them.
And the direction he was pointing was the path on the right that was close to the cliff.
If you keep walking this way, you might be able to bypass the White Jade Toad, it just depends on your luck.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one had a better idea, so they could only walk in that direction.
The road along the cliff is not very easy to walk, and it is relatively close to the cliff, so no one dares to walk too fast.
So the few people who had just been trying to escape had time to take a breath and say a few words.
Lu Sangjiu calmly walked to her former teammate and asked with a smile, "Fellow Taoist, we worked together very well when we fought side by side before, but we still don't know the names of our friends!"
"I am a disciple of the Seven Emotions Sect, and my name is Lu Sangjiu. What about you?"
She took the initiative to give her name, and then stared at him, waiting for his answer.
He raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Lu Sangjiu, with a faint smile on his lips.
Just as he was about to speak, Gu Jue, who was walking at the front, suddenly shouted, "No... there is the scent of a powerful monster nearby, everyone, be careful!"
But he reminded him a little too late. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard the roar of a monster beast coming from the bottom of the cliff!
That sound... Lu Sangjiu's expression also changed. Why did it sound like a dragon's roar?
No, can there be a dragon in this damn place?
No matter what it is, of course you need to stay away from the edge of the cliff at this time.
But Lu Sangjiu ran a long way away, and when he turned around, he suddenly found Chi Yan standing still!
A closer look revealed that Chi Yan's eyes were dull and he looked stupid.
No...it looks like he was fascinated by the roar of the dragon just now!
The voice seemed targeted, at least she didn't feel any attack.
At this time, Chi Yan stood there blankly and suddenly took a step towards the edge of the cliff!
Lu Sangjiu was eager to save people, but before he could say anything, he turned around and rushed towards Chi Yan.
Although Chi Yan was not aggressive at this time, Lu Sangjiu was unable to pull him away.
In her anxiety, she simply used her spiritual power to give him a slap, and he was thrown several meters away, landing right next to Gu Jue.
They all heard the noise at this time, stopped and looked back, and happened to see this scene.
Gu Jue was a little confused and was about to ask something, but his expression suddenly changed, "Come back quickly!"
Lu Sangjiu also noticed something was wrong at this time. Fortunately, the ground on the edge of the cliff suddenly cracked!
The place she was standing at this time was still two or three meters away from the crack. If she didn't go over quickly, she would probably fall off the cliff along with the ground.
She immediately ran in that direction, but after just two steps, she suddenly felt a huge suction force coming from the depths of the cliff behind her, preventing her from moving forward!
"Friend Lu Dao, hold my hand!"
Gu Jue immediately went over to provide support, but he couldn't get too close, otherwise he wouldn't be able to save anyone and he would be dragged down.
Lu Sangjiu worked hard to move forward, and Gu Jue also worked hard to reach out to her.
Seeing Gu Jue's hand getting closer and closer, just when Lu Sangjiu was about to touch him, the ground suddenly shook!
Lu Sangjiu's figure became unstable, and his fingertips were completely separated from Gu Jue's hand.
As the ground broke, she fell down the cliff!
This feeling of weightlessness made Lu Sangjiu feel cold in her heart... She said, you can't meddle in other people's business!
This time, Chi Yan was saved, but she was about to fall.
Gu Jue was a loyal person. When he saw her falling, he subconsciously wanted to go forward and catch her.
However, Lu Sangjiu was surprised to see a figure crossing Gu Jue at this moment and heading towards Lu Sangjiu before him!
This... is actually her teammate whose name she still doesn't know!
He rushed over quickly, grabbed Lu Sangjiu's hand, and then... fell down with her.
There was a strong wind in his ears, and Lu Sangjiu was pulled into his arms, feeling extremely surprised and puzzled.
If Gu Jue, Lin Ziyi or even Liu Xi came to rescue her, she probably wouldn't be so surprised.
But this man, she didn't even know his name, yet he risked his life for her out of nowhere. Is he crazy?
