Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 8: The First Danger
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ruoye tribe, who was fighting on the battlefield thousands of miles away, knew that the person he missed so much had been reincarnated as a human, and now had been thrown into a gloomy dungeon by his Crown Princess, he would probably be so shocked.
"Women are indeed the most vicious!" After being mercilessly pushed into the dungeon, Yan Lili's teeth were trembling. It was unclear whether it was because of fear or anger.
She sat slumped by the door and stiffened her neck to look around. This was a strict stone prison, with four walls tightly sealed. There was only a small opening on the stone door in front of her for delivering food. The room was even darker and damper. The only light came from that small opening. Through that small opening, she could vaguely see an oil lamp on the stone wall not far away. The light was like a bean sprout, shaking. The stone prison was illuminated by intermittent light, which looked particularly dark and weird.
Ping Lili had never been to a place like this in her life. If she hadn't gritted her teeth stubbornly, she would have screamed and cried hysterically.
She knew that the vicious Ruoye woman just wanted to see her make a fool of herself, so she refused to let her get away with it. She dug her fingernails deeply into the flesh, suppressing the fear in her heart and not letting herself lose her composure.
Thinking of all the things that had happened before, Pinglili felt extremely upset.
Originally, she had a good plan. She thought that seeing the calm looks of the Ruoye women, they must have believed her words. She thought that as long as she followed them back to Yonghui City, she could find a chance to slip away. She thought that the women would not be able to stop her.
But she didn't expect that the Crown Princess was so cruel and ruthless. As soon as she left the Death Creek, she summoned a group of divine soldiers from somewhere, and insisted that she was a spy from Shamo City. She was subdued in no time. However, she fulfilled her wish and sent her back to Yonghui City. The problem was that this place was not very good. It was a dungeon in Yonghui City!
This made Ping Lili want to beat his chest and stamp his feet whenever he thought about it, especially because he was tricked and played around by a woman who looked much younger than him. This made Ping Lili feel sad and angry.
I remembered what the other party said before he left, that he would be taken away first and interrogated when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back.
Review? What the hell is there to review?
Ping Lili cursed in her heart in frustration, thinking that if their Crown Prince didn't come back for ten days or half a month, wouldn't she be growing mold and maggots here?
For no reason, an extremely strange image flashed through her mind again. When those Ruoye women were in the water, she clearly saw their tails. They had human faces, human bodies and fish tails, the appearance of the legendary mermen. Perhaps it was their appearance that made her let her guard down at the time, thinking that fish tails were fine in the water, but not as agile as her own legs on the ground.
But what surprised Ying Lili was what happened behind them. When they were about to touch the shore, she clearly saw the woman named "C" take out a few golden pills from the carp skin bag hanging around her neck. After everyone took them one by one, the tail magically disappeared! Then, a pair of slender legs appeared.
But even more bizarre things were yet to come. The woman reached into the brocade bag again and took out several silk long skirts, hairpins and other items from the palm-sized brocade bag like magic. The brocade bag was just like Doraemon's treasure bag, it could hold anything and everything. Seeing this, Yinglili was stunned.
In the blink of an eye, those mermaid beauties who were previously light and nimble in the water transformed into the noble ladies in palace costumes that Ying Lili often saw in modern costume TV dramas.
Thinking of this, Ying Lili stood up suddenly, her pupils slightly dilated. She thought of Wei Shucheng in her dream and the small paper square he gave to Yao Ji...
Could it be that, could it be that the recipe actually ended up in the hands of the Ruoye tribe?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain what is happening now, nor could it explain the fact that all the Ruoye people he had come into contact with before had legs, almost the same as humans.
It seems that the recipe must have fallen into their hands.
Shame, anger, anxiety, all kinds of emotions intertwined in Pinglili's heart. Although it was not her fault, as the reincarnation of Yao Ji, she felt mixed emotions for no reason, as if everything was her fault.
She reached out her hand and punched the stone wall beside her in great annoyance, but suddenly she felt something crawling on the stone wall, and she retracted her hand in fear. She seemed to hear a slight rustling sound beside her, and felt something unknown crawling past her feet, and she jumped up in fear, stamping her feet and slapping her hands around.
The hands that were flapping around accidentally touched a hard object somewhere on the body. Ping Lili was slightly stunned, and then he remembered something.
She took out the sheathed black iron short blade from the front pocket of her jeans with some effort. When she met those Ruoye women who gave up resistance, she subconsciously hid the black iron short blade in the front pocket of her jeans. Because the jeans were a bit tight, and Ying Lili was wearing an extra-long and loose white T-shirt, there was nothing unusual to see from the outside.
In addition, she had hardly put up any resistance before, so the Ruoye soldiers did not take her seriously and threw her directly into the stone prison. They even forgot to search her body, so the black iron short blade was miraculously brought in by her.
However, after looking at the short blade in his hand, Ying Lili's eyes dimmed again. What use could such a small short blade have? Could it be sharp enough to cut stones?
He inadvertently pulled the short blade out of the scabbard, but was stunned! The black iron short blade suddenly showed white light, as cold and chilly as the surrounding walls. Even though Peng Lili did not have any profound cultivation at this time, he could still feel the domineering and powerful sword energy coming from the short blade!
As if recalling the scene in his dream that day where Mo Yi used the short blade to break the vortex in the bamboo forest, Ping Lili followed suit, tightly grasping the cold iron short blade and slashing at the stone gate in mid-air without hesitation. With a swing to the left and a flick to the right, two clear fork-shaped marks were immediately left on the stone gate.
Ping Lili stood at the door, holding the short black iron blade in his hand, stunned for a moment, sighed in frustration, and thought that the same thing looked different in different people's hands.
He pounded the stone door with his other hand in annoyance, but unexpectedly, an accident happened!
The originally extremely hard stone door suddenly broke into four pieces and collapsed in front of Ping Lili. Looking at the cracks in the stone, it was actually as smooth as a piece of paper. At this moment, Ping Lili finally understood what "cut by a knife" meant!
She took a deep breath, and a warm feeling slowly rose in her heart. Only then did she realize how thoughtful that man was. Not only did he leave her a weapon for self-defense, he also injected his sword energy into this short black iron blade.
At this moment, Ping Lili felt so clearly that she was not alone. Even though he was not by her side at the moment, as long as she had his black iron short blade with her, it was enough to make her strong.
However, "extreme joy leads to sorrow" might be the description of Ying Lili's situation at the moment. When she took a few steps forward and stood under the flickering oil lamp, she confidently grasped the black iron short blade and prepared to challenge the prison break in one go. However, she sadly discovered that the sword energy on the short blade had disappeared completely. Although the blade was still as cold and sharp, the scorching momentum from before was gone forever.
It turns out that the powerful sword energy attached to is a one-time use, and it will disappear after it is used up...
Ping Lili couldn't help but wail in her heart, but she couldn't bear to blame Mo Yi at all. Even though she was a layman in using a knife, she probably knew that just to seal the sword energy on the blade and keep it sealed for such a long time was a very difficult task.
"Someone is trying to escape from prison!" A panicked shout came from a distance, and Ping Lili just came to his senses. It was not advisable to stay here for long. If he was locked up by them again, his end would be even more miserable!
Ping Lili subconsciously clenched the short black iron blade, looked around, and thought about the best escape route. What he didn't expect was that this stone prison was so long and narrow. The stone room where he was imprisoned was in the middle of the entire stone prison. There was no end to the left or right at a glance. There must be hundreds of cells here.
Such a loud noise just now had already alarmed the jailer at the left end. At this moment, a jailer who reacted faster actually rushed straight towards her with a steel spear. After he came close and saw that she was just a weak woman and the smooth stone door fragments behind her, the jailer's mood at this moment was probably more complicated than Gong Lili's.
Without any hesitation, the jailer raised the steel spear in his hand and stabbed it straight at the vitals of Ying Lili. Ying Lili subconsciously grasped the cold iron short blade and raised her hand to block it. When the two weapons came into contact, there was only a clang, and the short blade in Ying Lili's hand flew far away. Her hand holding the short blade also became numb in an instant.
What a joke! The opponent was a 7-foot-tall man, and he was well-trained. How could his strength be compared to that of a weak woman like Ying Lili? Moreover, Ying Lili was a layman who had only learned martial arts halfway through her career. She probably didn't even know how to use the short blade. Mo Yi had never taught her how to wield a sword, so the advantage and disadvantage at this moment were almost obvious.
When the jailer saw the short blade in Ping Lili's hand slip out of his hand, he didn't even think about it and stabbed again with the steel spear!
"Ah!" With a shrill scream, the steel spear actually pierced into Ying Lili's left shoulder. Her white T-shirt was immediately stained red with blood.
Ping Lili suddenly shuddered and her whole body twitched. The intense pain from her left shoulder almost made her faint. She stretched out her right hand to pull out the steel spear that pierced her shoulder blade, but an accident happened again!
Before her hand touched the spear tip, the jailer and the spear were bounced several meters away by a strong force! Ping Lili lowered her head slightly, and her right hand subconsciously brushed her injured left shoulder. She felt a familiar burning sensation, and the blood seemed to stop immediately. The stinging sensation was gradually fading. At this moment, she seemed to clearly feel the pulse of the Vermillion Bird on her shoulder.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
It was so clear and vivid that she seemed to be able to hear the sound of the Vermillion Bird spreading its wings. Her golden brown eyes closed involuntarily, and when she raised her eyes again, they suddenly changed color, and the scarlet color gradually spread in her pupils...
At this time, three or five more jailers had come closer. They held long steel spears in their hands, shouting and scolding, as if they had not expected that a seemingly weak woman would dare to escape from prison. They probably did not take Ping Lili seriously at all, and did not play any tricks. They just stabbed at them with their spears together, but they did not expect that the god of death was quietly approaching them!
Surrounded by a crowd, Ying Lili slowly raised her head, looking distracted. Her scarlet eyes looked extremely empty, and the expression on her face looked extremely strange.
Before the oncoming steel spear could even touch her body, a faint green flame suddenly shot up from the fingertips of Ping Lili. The flame seemed to have life and quickly locked onto the jailers around her who were stabbing towards her with steel spears. Like a spirit snake spitting out its tongue, it rushed towards them unscrupulously!
Suddenly, flames appeared, human figures were everywhere, wailing and roaring only echoed feebly in the empty stone prison corridor for a moment, and then it returned to silence again. All that was left was a pile of white bones.
"Could it be that you are Lady Yaoji?"
A trembling and hoarse voice came from a small opening of a stone prison not far behind Ying Lili, and it suddenly brought her gradually dazed consciousness back to her.
