Chapter 517 Fall
It was pitch black, so dark that you couldn’t see your hand in front of you.

But soon, a glow appeared in the darkness.

The glow became more and more numerous, spreading out like fireflies. Although the light was not strong, it could barely illuminate a small space.

That was Hua Xiaolan... She lay on Hua Wuying's chest, gently wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth and skin, and withdrew her hand that was casting the spell.

At this time, Hua Wuying had his eyes closed, unconscious, and was lying flat on a huge leaf.

Hua Xiaolan reached out and stroked his neck, a faint light condensed at her fingertips, exploring his condition.

"fine……"

After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay."

When they fell just now, Hua Wuying held her in his arms, and then the two of them rolled down, bumping into the huge flowers and plants. Because of the cushioning of the grass leaves and petals, they did not fall too heavily, and finally landed on this large grass leaf.

But after all, all the weight was on Hua Wuying. He was pitch dark in the deep pit and could not see anything. He was also unable to adjust his falling posture in time, so he still bumped into many things and fell into coma.

"Fool."

Hua Xiaolan looked at his face and laughed, "If you hadn't held me so tightly, I would have cast a spell long ago. How could you not see clearly and fall like this?"

Hua Wuying certainly couldn't answer, but his breathing was even and his heartbeat was normal at this moment, so there was obviously nothing wrong. There was no need to worry too much about the physical fitness of a sixth-level warrior.

Hua Xiaolan got up, reached into her arms, took out a pill, and swallowed it.

She had already finished eating all the pills she had brought with her, and even those that Hua Wuying had left behind were all eaten up.

But fortunately, in the Montenegro Islands... the herbal resources are quite abundant.

Although those herbs were all a strange black color, their medicinal effects were not compromised. In fact, they were even more gentle and powerful than those outside. Therefore, she had already refined a lot of pills for herself.

In addition, Lin Wangshu, out of consideration for the friendship between the aristocratic families, would occasionally send some qi-replenishing and blood-boosting pills. During this period, Hua Xiaolan's health was much better than before.

After taking the pill, her complexion became visibly rosy.

After exhaling lightly, she rubbed lightly with her fingertips, and another flash of fluorescent light flew out, this time falling downwards, illuminating everything deeper under the large leaf.

"A little further down is where the wasp was yesterday."

Hua Xiaolan looked down and her face tightened: "It was almost there. If it had fallen a little lower, the big wooden hand would have come out..."

She raised her head again and looked upward.

Under the illumination of those fluorescent spots, they could see some of the situation clearly. They were now about twenty feet away from the pit mouth. It was already midnight, and the full moon was in the sky. The moonlight shone through the gaps between the huge flowers and plants, illuminating a part of the edge of the pit mouth, but because of the obstruction of the grass leaves and petals, only a very small amount of moonlight could be seen.

"Lin Wangshu and the others won't come down to rescue us?"

Hua Xiaolan frowned and muttered to herself.

It's only a distance of more than 20 feet here. With Lin Wangshu's state of mind, how could he not be able to come down?
Huo Yaer was ambushed. Even if he was able to fight back in the end, he would have no chance to escape or resist, and he would most likely have been eliminated by now.

Everyone in Lingjingmen has already dealt with Huo Yaer, so why don’t they come to rescue us?
"Isn't that a case of crossing the river and then destroying the bridge?"

Hua Xiaolan's voice was a little cold when she spoke to herself: "Is Lingjing Sect such a group of people?"

“No…I can’t…”

At this moment, Hua Wuying, who had just fainted, suddenly spoke, and said with some difficulty: "They...mostly...have some inconvenience..."

Hua Xiaolan was delighted and looked over quickly.

Hua Wuying had woken up. He looked clearly in pain. He covered the back of his head and slowly sat up.

"You're awake." Hua Xiaolan smiled, but then her face turned cold again: "Don't you believe that the people of Lingjing Sect will cross the river and destroy the bridge?"

"Do not believe."

Hua Wuying chuckled: "I deliberately revealed clues before, letting Master Lin know that we were coming to steal the thousand-year-old nine-section bell grass, but he never took action in advance. This is because he trusts our character and knows that we will not do such a bad thing... He is such a gentleman, how could he stand by and watch us die?"

"Yes, yes, yes~" Hua Xiaolan rolled her eyes and said, "You are all gentlemen, and I am just a witch and a villain~ Then tell me, what inconvenience can they have?"

"I really don't know." Hua Wuying scratched his head. "But underneath is the thousand-year-old Nine-section Bell Grass, which is the foundation of the Lingjing Sect. Even if it's for this, they can't just ignore it... If they don't come down to save us, there is only one possibility..."

At this point, both of their expressions changed.

There are huge dangers in this pit. There may even be some kind of unwritten rule that says that if you fall into this pit, you will definitely die?

Thinking back to the big wooden hand Hua Xiaolan had seen before...

"This place is not very deep from the pit mouth."

Hua Wuying raised his head and said, "There are so many flowers and plants. With my Qinggong, I should be able to get up there."

"Ah."

Hua Xiaolan nodded: "But be careful."

The two of them said no more. Hua Xiaolan climbed onto Hua Wuying's back with ease and hung herself tightly around his neck and waist.

Hua Wuying took a deep breath and leaped upwards.

But with this leap, something strange happened!

The moment he jumped up, a force far stronger than his own suddenly came from below and pulled him down heavily!
Hua Wuying's face changed drastically and he looked down.

The large blade of grass that had been quietly supporting the two of them just now suddenly curled up for some reason and tightly wrapped around his legs!

Not only was she entangled with him, she was also pulling him down!
"No shadow!" Hua Xiaolan shouted.

Hua Wuying gritted his teeth: "Don't let go! Even if I die..."

But before he could finish his words, his pupils had shrunk into a small dot and the words were stuck in his throat.

Like him, Hua Xiaolan's shouting also stopped abruptly.

Just as they were being entangled by the grass leaves and dragged down, the big wooden hand that Hua Xiaolan had seen through the wasp's perspective suddenly appeared.

The speed at which it stretched out was no slower than that of any top master. The huge wooden palm, accompanied by a strong wind, rose from the two people's sight until it completely blocked everything they saw.

Then, with a huge sense of oppression, it slightly bent its five fingers and grabbed the two of them.

"No shadow!" Hua Xiaolan raised her eyebrows: "Tilt your head!"

Hua Wuying turned his head to one side without any hesitation.

The next moment, a small blue dart frog crawled out from Hua Xiaolan's collar, opened its mouth, and sprayed out a few drops of venom with a strong chill, flying towards the big wooden hand.

The venom brushed against Hua Wuying's cheek, and a piercing chill immediately spread from his cheek to his entire body, almost freezing all his life.

But before the coldness could really take effect, Hua Xiaolan's hand had already stroked his cheek, and the coldness receded like the tide.

At the same time, the venom also stained the palm of Oomu's hand.

In a blink of an eye, the ice crystals spread across the big wooden hand at an unimaginable speed. In less than two breaths, the speed at which the big wooden hand caught it slowed down to the point where it almost stopped moving.

But before the two could breathe a sigh of relief, its five fingers bent and trembled again, shattering the ice crystals that trapped it bit by bit.

"No, we can't stop it!"

Hua Xiaolan gritted her teeth.

Hua Wuying looked down at the grass leaves that were wrapped around him and said in a deep voice, "It seems like I can't go up anymore... I can only go down. Whether I live or die depends on the days!"

After saying this, he mobilized his true energy and poured it into his legs. Suddenly, a strong wind blew and the grass roots could no longer hold on as his legs struggled with all their might and broke into pieces.

Hua Wuying and Hua Xiaolan fell down again before the big wooden palm completely shattered the ice crystals and caught them again.
