Chapter 3041 Shen Tianyu 441 (Tianyu)

But it's too late.

Suddenly, the old bricks beneath Shen Tianyu's feet loosened, and with a loud "poof," the entire ground collapsed rapidly!

Jing Ge, along with the bed, fell to the ground at the same time!

A powerful, eerie suction force pulled the two of them downwards.

In the blink of an eye, the two were already several meters off the ground.

Shen Tianyu hurriedly grabbed Jing Ge's arm, trying to pull him up.

Jing Ge urged, "Go! Go quickly! Don't worry about me!"

Shen Tianyu remained silent, still holding onto him, and used his lightness skill to try to return to the ground.

A muffled thud suddenly came from above.

A huge dome-like object instantly covered the collapsed gap.

It was already pitch black, and now it was even darker.

Jing Ge hurriedly said, "Hold your breath! There must be poison gas! It's colorless and odorless!"

Shen Tianyu immediately held his breath.

But some still got in.

Already affected by the miasma, my mind was somewhat foggy, and now my body felt even worse, with my limbs starting to feel weak.

In addition, with someone else on his arm, it was difficult for him to use his light-footed skills effectively.

The two of them plummeted downwards.

Below was a place resembling a dungeon, dark, gloomy, and cold.

As it fell to the ground, the wooden bed that had fallen with Jing Ge made a loud noise, and one or two of the wooden bed legs snapped with a crack.

Hearing the sound, Shen Tianyu deduced that the distance below was at least twenty or thirty meters from the ground.

He took out some antidote pills from his person, gave two to Jing Ge, and then threw two into his own mouth.

He bent down and crouched down, feeling his way in the dark to prop up the broken bed leg, straightening the bed, and then moved Jing Ge onto the bed.

Seeing that Jing Ge was unable to move, Shen Tianyu asked, "Brother Jing, you are injured. What exactly is the injury?"

Jing Ge's voice was weaker than when he arrived. "Thirteen needles were stuck in my spine, sealing my cultivation. I was also given a drug similar to bone-dissolving powder, which made my hands and legs weak and my whole body powerless. They set up a trap, waiting for you to come and save me. I thought it would be my grandfather who came."

Shen Tianyu said calmly, "I'm young, even if we encounter danger, I can hold out for a while. He's old, don't make him suffer. If I don't go out soon, he should know we're in danger and will evacuate on his own."

Seeing his calm demeanor, Jing Ge spoke up, "You knew it was a trap, yet you still barged in?"

Shen Tianyu said, "You knew there was danger, yet you still ventured deep into enemy territory. You can't fight alone, so I came along to provide some support."

Jing Ge smiled silently, "You and I are among the smartest people, yet we do the most foolish things in the eyes of ordinary people."

Shen Tianyu pressed his lips together slightly, "It is precisely because countless smart people like us are doing the most foolish things that we can ensure the peace and prosperity of the country."

The two exchanged a glance, feeling a mutual appreciation.

My eyes have gradually adjusted to the darkness.

Shen Tianyu saw that Jing Ge was bound with ropes.

He took out a short sword from his waist and tried to cut the rope, but found he couldn't.

His usual short sword is incredibly sharp; when used with skill, it can cut through iron like mud, and it can certainly sever a hair with a breath.

The rope appears to be made of a special metal and has inscriptions on it.

He was proficient in esoteric arts and had some knowledge of Taoism, but he knew very little about Southeast Asian incantations.

He stared intently at Jing Ge's body, running his fingers over the rope from end to end. He discovered that the rope had no knots, as if it were a single, naturally formed rope, with the knots appearing to be welded shut.

He carefully turned Jing Ge over, used his short sword to cut open the back of his clothes, and went to check the needles on his spine.

Thirteen needles were deeply inserted under the skin of the thorny bark.

The skin his fingers touched was trembling slightly.

It must hurt a lot.

But Jing Ge gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Shen Tianyu asked, "Is this the modified Thirteen Ghost Needles technique of the Guwei clan?"

Jing Ge replied, "More or less. It's just that our Thirteen Ghost Needles are for saving people, while theirs are for harming people."

"Do you remember the order of acupuncture?"

"I was ambushed and unconscious. Don't pull out the needles yet. Gu Wei said that the thirteen needles were not to be inserted in sequence. If the wrong order is pulled out, my heart will be in chaos and I will die."

Shen Tianyu stopped what she was doing and straightened his clothes.

He looked around and saw that the place was a huge void, with no water, no food, and even the air was thin.

Countless sharp daggers were stuck in the ground.

Fortunately, he had the agility to cushion the fall, and the soles of his shoes were hard, so he fell upright and was not injured.

Jing Ge's body was partially concealed by the bed board, and there were no new injuries to be felt.

Shen Tianyu carefully walked around the short knife on the ground and reached the wall, but the wall was slippery and he couldn't climb it.

Even though he had taken the antidote pill, his power was limited because he didn't know what kind of poison the other party had used. He couldn't use his lightness skill as usual to fly up with Jing Ge.

He tried, but even he couldn't fly more than three meters upwards.

The underground is about 20 to 30 meters below.

Even if you disassemble the bed frame and reassemble it, it still won't reach that height.

As for the ability to pass through walls, it seemed that the dungeon had been sealed off beforehand. He tried it, but he couldn't use it whether he tried to pass through walls or burrow underground.

We can only wait for rescue.

In the silent night, a few gurgling sounds were suddenly heard.

It was Jing Ge's stomach.

Shen Tianyu thought to himself, "I should have brought him some food, but these kinds of trivial things are impossible to predict in advance."

Time seemed to drag on.

The two waited quietly.

Jing Ge's body is getting weaker and weaker.

That kind of bone-dissolving powder, when in a potent state, will cause the poisoned person's bones to crumble and their whole body to turn into blood within three hours.

Chronic poisoning will cause death within a certain period of time, at a predetermined time.

The one in Jing Ge must be the second one.

Fearing he might faint, Shen Tianyu, who was usually very sparing with words, took the initiative to start a conversation with him.

He knew very little about him, and after talking about Jing Hong and Jing Hua, he talked to him about his war on the frontier.

At first, Jing Ge was able to talk for a few minutes, but later his consciousness gradually faded, his voice grew softer, and his thoughts became incoherent.

He has thirteen ghost needles inside his body.

Shen Tianyu dared not rashly channel his internal energy into him.

If the needle is misplaced or wanders into an internal organ, it can be fatal.

After a moment's hesitation, Shen Tianyu asked, "Brother Jing, are you married?"

Jing Ge replied, "No."

"You are older than Jing Hong, and you are over thirty. Why haven't you gotten married?"

Jing Ge smiled wryly, "There was once a girl I almost married."

Why didn't it end up married?

Jing Ge said haltingly, "Her parents think my job is too dangerous and want me to change jobs."

Shen Tianyu said, "You didn't change her, but she married someone else?"

"Yes, the child should be two or three years old."

"Do you regret it?"

Jing Ge smiled weakly, "I don't regret it. Someone always has to make a sacrifice. If you don't sacrifice, and I don't sacrifice, and nobody is willing to make a sacrifice, then the country will be shattered and the world will be devastated."

This is exactly the same as the great love he was taught by his master since childhood.

Shen Tianyu looked up.

If they don't receive rescue, he and Jing Ge will perish here.

His beloved wife, parents, and family must be devastated.

Regret?

regret.

But if he could turn back time, he would still choose to do it this way.

This is also why he has always admired Guoxu.

Jing Ge grew weaker and weaker, his stomach rumbling loudly.

Shen Tianyu raised his hand and bit his index finger, and blood gushed out.

He put his bleeding finger into his mouth and said, "Brother Jing, fill your stomach first. We all need to get up here alive."
