This collapsed arena!

Chapter 58

tick-

The water drops fell with a sound, and the empty cave became more lonely.

Chu Xiaoye opened her eyes and saw only darkness.

His whole body seemed to be run over by a huge boulder, spreading from the heart to the fingertips.Chu Xiaoye let out a long breath, feeling that she was still alive—living with a clear mind.

I tried to move my fingertips, but fortunately, apart from some soreness, it didn't affect the movement.Chu Xiaoye tried to sit up, only to find that her right arm was limp and unable to exert any strength at all. It must have broken her elbow joint in the fierce water flow.

Other than that, it was his left leg. I don't know if the wound cut by Lianhua's flying knife had stopped bleeding, but he still couldn't use his strength.

With only one hand and one leg left to use, Chu Xiaoye tried her best to support her body and sat up.

There was a buzzing in his head, and the severe pain from his temple penetrated his entire forehead. It was unknown whether it was due to the side effect of the God-Binding Curse or excessive blood loss...or a combination of the two.

The little Cui Yao in the sleeve was still there, and it was not swept away by the torrent, sensing that Chu Xiaoye had woken up, she also started chirping.

Chu Xiaoye couldn't see anything, and gropingly took out the little Cui Yao out of his sleeve and let it out, the chirping and gurgling sounds surrounded him, as if the little Cui Yao was screaming around him.

She didn't know where this place was at all, Chu Xiaoye only felt that the ground under her body was wet and slippery, the sound of dripping water could be heard in her ears, the smell of wet water vapor was on the tip of her nose, and the clothes on her body were still soaked.

This place was extremely cold, with excessive blood loss and the inability to keep warm, Chu Xiaoye sneezed several times in a row, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, from the coldness in his heart.

It can only be roughly judged that this place may be an underground cave or something, and I don't know how to get out.

At this time, my body was full of scars, and if I didn't deal with it in time, I might be left with a disability. Of course, Chu Xiaoye didn't want to become a cripple.

The fire pockets and other things in her arms were all soaked, so Chu Xiaoye simply threw away some useless things, including some silver and the imperial envoy token. The related extraneous things are just burdens.

He took out all the medicine bottles from the cloth bag in his arms. Fortunately, the wax seal on the mouth of the bottles was still intact and the medicine could still be used.

Chu Xiaoye used her sense of smell to identify the medicine, swallowed a few pills to relieve the headache caused by the God-binding spell, and fumbled to apply a small half bottle of Ningxue Ointment to the wound on her ankle.Chu Xiaoye discovered that the wound was four or five inches long, extending from the calf to the ankle, and the ankle was cut the deepest, probably cutting off the meridians of the foot.

Not allowing him to think too much, Chu Xiaoye tried to stand up after hastily treated the wound, but his left leg still couldn't bear the weight, so he could only rely on his right leg to support the wall and walk forward.

The cave seemed to be very wide, with some puddles around, and the slippery ground made him fall every two steps, and the feeling of falling again and again made the hungry and cold Chu Xiaoye dizzy.

Chu Xiaoye sat on the ground with a wry smile and sighed, it seemed impossible to get out...he could only crawl out.

The little Cui Yao was chattering beside her, and Chu Xiaoye held it helplessly in her hand, saying: "You little thing, you can still make a fuss at this time. If I can't get out, you probably won't be able to get out of it in this life." I want to bask in the sun again."

"Gulu Guluji?" The little green demon's voice was clear and lovely, but it was impossible for Chu Xiaoye to understand what it was saying.

"It is said that plants have phototaxis. Can you sense where there is light?" Chu Xiaoye has lost track at this time, and underground waterways are often complicated. If you can't find a way, it is not impossible to be trapped in it.

"Guji." The little Cui Yao responded, and she didn't know if she understood Chu Xiaoye's words, but jumped up again in his hands.

Chu Xiaoye had no choice but to put it on the ground to let it keep up by itself, lying on the ground with its limbs and using it to find the way.

Rather than being stuck here and waiting to die, Chu Xiaoye would rather try to get out.

In the face of the choice between life and death, no one will choose to give up even if there is only a one-in-a-billion possibility of surviving.

At this time, I don't know how long it has been since I fell into the pool, Chu Xiaoye took out the dry food that had been soaked in water in her sleeve, and ate it in two or three bites.

If she couldn't go out after eating the dry food, Chu Xiaoye didn't know if she would frantically eat this cheerful little green monster.

Stumbling in the waterway, Chu Xiaoye couldn't see what was in front of her, and she would bump into the rocks protruding from the wall from time to time.At this time, only the left hand can be used, and the body needs to be supported on the ground to crawl forward. Chu Xiaoye has no other way to find the way.

"Chichi Gulu!" The voice of the little Cui Yao appeared in front of Chu Xiaoye, and Chu Xiaoye was a little moved. This little goblin probably wanted to find the way for him.

Anyway, it was impossible to think about it, so Chu Xiaoye calmly followed the little Cui Yao to climb forward.

I waded through countless shallow puddles along the way, and my palms rubbed against the rough rocks for a long time, maybe the skin was scratched, but the burning pain made Chu Xiaoye wake up a lot.

Gritting her teeth to tear off a piece of clothes, Chu Xiaoye wrapped her palms and continued to follow Xiao Cuiyao while she was asleep.

There is no hope, aimlessly moving forward, and the time is constantly lengthening, making the struggle to survive in the dark all the more difficult.

Chu Xiaoye doesn't know how many times she thought about giving up, how many times she wanted to just lie down in a puddle and freeze to death, and how many times she wanted to stop and die quietly...but the instinct to survive Not letting him back down, all thoughts are just thoughts, Chu Xiaoye endured the pain all over his body and crawled forward step by step.

Can't die, can't give up.

I'm going out, I'm going out.

Only these two thoughts remained in his blank mind, chanting back and forth in his mind like scriptures in a temple.

When you are alone, only you can inspire yourself.

Even if the road ahead is too long, even if there is no direction at all, a persistent heart can still overcome all the pain and suffering in the process of moving forward.

The loss of blood and the cold made him tremble uncontrollably, and he fell to the ground with trembling hands several times. Chu Xiaoye could only crawl while thinking about other things in his mind to divert his attention.

When I jumped off the vine rashly that night, even I couldn't figure out where the courage came from.

Regardless of feelings, it is definitely not a wise choice to exchange the pain of a living person for the integrity of a dead body.

But in many cases, rationality has no power to fight back in the face of sensibility.

Chu Xiaoye shook his head, he never thought that the impulsiveness at that time could bring him down to this point.

Chu Ye, who died, Chu Ye, I am sorry for you.

Chu Xiaoye didn't know how long she had been stumbling and crawling, all she knew was that Xiao Cui Yao's chirping voice had become weaker.

When I finally saw the light in the distance like the only morning star in the night, my body, which was about to be overwhelmed by exhaustion and cold, was filled with strength in an instant, and hot tears fell down like this, and I didn’t know it was painful. Still moved.

Chu Xiaoye quickly stuffed the little Cui Yao into her arms, and used all her strength to crazily crawl towards the ray of light in the distance.

...But in fact, with a broken leg and a shattered arm, Chu Xiaoye could only barely move forward.

When he finally saw the light clearly, he could only let out a long sigh.

The light came from a pool of water. Chu Xiaoye roughly deduced that the bottom of the pool must be leading to the outside world, so the light could be reflected on the stone wall and enter the cave.

Chu Xiaoye sat by the pool and observed the situation. The water in the pool seemed to be calm, but she didn't know if there would be a torrent like yesterday's at the bottom of the pool.

If she was hit by the torrent again, Chu Xiaoye was not sure whether she would be lucky enough to survive again.

Chu Xiaoye took out the last piece of pancake she had collected, and by the light, she could see the soaked dry food limp and wet on the oil paper, and Chu Xiaoye swallowed the pancake bit by bit.

…hope this isn’t the last meal of my life.

Chu Xiaoye put her palms together and made a wish on the oil paper, just like when she made a wish on the cake alone on her birthday in her previous life.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Xiaoye leaned forward and plunged into the water.

He wasn't very good at swimming, especially with only one leg and one hand to use.

But fortunately, the current at the bottom of the pool was not as intense as he had imagined. He opened his eyes wide and forced himself to swim after the ray of light. The sand, stones and aquatic plants at the bottom irritated his eyes painfully.

Just when he even spat out the last breath of air in his lungs, and when his brain was about to fail due to lack of oxygen, he finally swam out of the long and endless waterway.

As the more and more intense water fell out, the scarred body could no longer control the falling posture, Chu Xiaoye directly faced down with his forehead, and fell straight down with the waterfall formed by the falling water.

The feeling of falling into the water from a high place is actually no different from falling directly on the bluestone ground. Chu Xiaoye felt that her brains seemed to burst out, and the huge impact made a buzzing noise in the eardrums. It was a stream of viscous blood being forced out from the internal organs.

The last sliver of rationality supported him to swim up from the bottomless pool, and it took a lot of effort for his disabled hands and feet to climb onto the slippery shore.

When Xiaoye was finally able to lie on her back on the gravel ground by the pool like a dead body, her eyes, which had lost sight of things, were half-closed, staring straight at the bright sun in the sky.

The light and shadow seen in the eyes has been extremely blurred, blurring the sun and spreading it into a golden warm light all over the sky.

— survived.

Chu Xiaoye smiled.

The constantly rising and falling chest greedily plundered the fresh air mixed with the smell of green grass between the sky and the earth. The last thing Chu Xiaoye did was to take out the dying little Cui Yao from her arms, and put her hands down on the gravel to let it bask in the sun.

"Thank you." Without making a sound, Chu Xiaoye mouthed with trembling lips.

She didn't even have the strength to speak, and Chu Xiaoye fell asleep on the prickly gravel floor.

The joy of surviving dispelled all worries and doubts, as long as he could see the scorching sun again, it was the basis for his survival.
