After tying Wei Xiaoyu's hands, the two men thought for a moment, then squatted down and tied her feet as well. They figured that if they were to take pictures of her clothes and pants, it would be a piece of cake, and they wouldn't have to worry about Wei Xiaoyu resisting anymore.
Zhou Xuan got up anxiously. The thoughts of these people were obvious. Of course, this was mainly because Wei Xiaoyu was too beautiful. If she looked like Zhu Bajie, those people would naturally not have any evil thoughts about dying.
The medium-sized man raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Wait a minute, don't touch her yet..." He hesitated for a moment, then stared at Zhou Xuan and said, "Kill that man!"
Wei Xiao'er's face turned deathly pale, and she was unable to move her hands and feet. Seeing a man raise a pistol and aim it at Zhou Xuan, she couldn't help but shout, "Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan!"
"Wait, wait a minute!" Upon hearing Wei Xiaoyu shout "Zhou Xuan" in her panic, the middle-aged man quickly waved his hand to stop the person who was about to fire, then stared intently at Zhou Xuan and said, "Your name is Zhou Xuan? You are Zhou Xuan?"
Zhou Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling. The icy energy in his body surged incessantly, and he closed his eyes to sense it.
Anger flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. Zhou Xuan clearly didn't take him seriously. Under such circumstances, he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be arrogant!
Zhou Xuan opened his eyes, looked at the middle-aged man, and asked, "I am Zhou Xuan, do you know me?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, twirled the gun in his hand, frowned, and then said, "I don't know you, but someone asked me to deliver a letter to you... It's really strange that someone actually came looking for you?"
Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu were both taken aback. Zhou Xuan then asked, "What letter? Who asked you to bring it to me?"
Suddenly turning his head to look to the left, Zhou Xuan's action drew the attention of all the men.
About thirty meters to the left, there was a man dressed in a black suit, but he was wearing a ghost mask, so it was impossible to tell who he was.
Zhou Xuan sensed this place with his ice energy, but when his ice energy reached a meter in front of him, it could not go any further. When it collided with the other person's aura, he immediately confirmed that this person was someone with the same superpower as him!
While Zhou Xuan was still in shock, the men opposite him shouted, "Who is it? Kill him!"
With a flick of his wrists, the masked man knew in an instant that something was wrong. As he raised his hands, icy energy surged forth, transforming and swallowing up the area of more than ten square meters around them!
Before the eleven men could fire their guns, the ground beneath their feet gave way, and they all plummeted downwards as if a floorboard had collapsed. The eleven men, along with Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoyu, made a total of thirteen people who fell into the bottomless abyss of the Black Ancient Dragon Cave!
Actually, the ground is hollow, as Zhou Xuan had already detected. Ye Gang was thinking of getting Wei Xiaoyu closer so that when the eleven men were a little further away, he could transform and devour the rocks under their feet. As long as he could control the location and distance, he could make these people fall into that undetectable underground cave.
But when the middle-aged man in the lead suddenly pulled out a letter, Zhou Xuan was filled with immense curiosity. Who had written this letter to him? What did it say? And could the person who wrote the letter be the same person who possessed the ability to create ice energy?
But to Zhou Xuan's utter surprise, the person with the ice-energy ability appeared right in front of him at that moment!
In his turmoil, Zhou Xuan was only thinking about removing the mask from this person and seeing the face hidden behind it, but he couldn't channel his icy energy into the person's body and couldn't do what he wanted to do!
Zhou Xuan hadn't anticipated that the masked man would use his icy energy to transform and devour the ground beneath their feet. His icy energy only had the same function; it couldn't recreate the transformed ground. In an instant, they fell into darkness!
Volume 1, Chapter 342: Severe Injury
Although Zhou Xuan had fallen into the trap and couldn't revert the ground stones that the person had devoured, he still managed to grab Wei Xiaoyu in the instant he fell, simultaneously breaking the nylon ropes binding her hands and feet and holding her tightly in his arms. ()
In the endless darkness, the eleven men shouted and yelled. Although Zhou Xuan was terrified, he still had to do what he had to do. He tried his best to gather all his ice energy and probe the space beneath him, but there was not a single ray of light, so he couldn't see anything.
Wei Xiaoyu held Zhou Xuan tightly, the wind whistling in her ears, stinging her face, as they fell at breakneck speed!
Zhou Xuan condensed the ice energy into a beam, which allowed the ice energy to probe at a distance of about 200 meters. His mind raced like lightning, and the speed of his descent was at least 6 or 7 meters per second. The ice energy that had been probing had reached the bottom. In the 7 or 8 seconds that he had been falling from above, he could estimate that this dark underground cave was about 300 meters deep!
This is a cave shaped like a pointed cone, narrow at the top and gradually widening towards the bottom, reaching a width of over 100 meters at the bottom. It is a circular area about 300 square meters in size, with four-fifths of it being water and one-fifth being rock.
Zhou Xuan used his icy energy to detect that the ground they were falling to was a rocky area. Because Zhou Xuan knew what was going on, even though it was dangerous, he still did what he could to save them. He spread his legs to slow down their descent and landed behind the eleven men.
Zhou Xuan focused his mind and held his breath, forcing the icy energy vertically downwards. When he was about forty meters away, he tried his best to transform and devour the rocks below him. However, because the rocks were too large and deep, when he devoured them, it felt as if someone had hit his chest with a hammer. With a "whoosh," he spat out a mouthful of blood!
Just as he transformed and devoured the rocks that covered an area of seven or eight square meters in diameter and were seven or eight meters deep, water from the deep pool on the other side surged in, followed by countless crashing and splashing sounds. Seven men were thrown heavily onto the rocks and turned into minced meat, while four men fell into the water. However, two of the men fell into the water close to the rock wall, their heads and hands smashed to pieces by the hard, cold rocks.
Only two men fell directly into the water, while Zhou Xuan had planned it all along, falling straight into the water he had transformed and devoured.
Before falling into the water, Zhou Xuan had already held Wei Xiaoyu in his arms. At the moment of falling into the water, it was Xian's buttocks that bore the weight, while Wei Xiaoyu's entire face was held tightly in Zhou Xuan's arms. She was not choked by the water when she entered the water.
Zhou Xuan fainted upon impact with the water. Of course, if he had only fallen into the water from a great height, he could have withstood the impact without the serious injury he had just suffered. However, with the serious injury, his ability to protect himself with ice energy was greatly weakened.
Of everyone, only Wei Xiaoyu was unaffected. After entering the water, the icy pool water made her shiver. She couldn't cry out, but she felt Zhou Xuan's arms loosen as he held her tightly.
Wei Xiaoyu struggled again and broke free from Zhou Xuan's embrace, but Zhou Xuan continued to sink underwater without any reaction.
Wei Xiaoyu quickly grabbed him and swam upwards with all her might. A few seconds later, she burst out of the water with a splash and then lifted Zhou Xuan to the surface. She then called out anxiously, "Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan, how are you?"
Zhou Xuan didn't answer, his body went limp. Wei Xiaoyu was terrified and quickly used her other hand to check his breath. Fortunately, although his breath was weak, it was still there.
Wei Xiaoyu supported Zhou Xuan with one hand and swam with the other, then groped her way to the side, because she couldn't see any light and had no idea which way was which.
However, Wei Xiaoyu could feel the water shifting from the left to the right while in the water. She guessed that there was a large pool on the left and a bank on the right, so she swam to the right.
When Ting and Yuexuan fell down, this area was originally land and rock. The transformed and swallowed ground was not very wide, only seven or eight square meters, a distance of a few meters. They swam to the right for only four meters before encountering the rocks.
Wei Xiaoyu was overjoyed and hurriedly pushed Zhou Xuan onto the rocks and soil. After pushing him up, she climbed up herself. She was so tired from swimming just a few meters that she was panting heavily. She couldn't see anything and didn't dare to let go of Zhou Xuan's hand. She held on to him tightly while she was panting.
Although she had no strength, Wei Xiaoyu still managed to sit up quickly, panting, and cupped Zhou Xuan's face in her hands, urgently calling out, "Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan... wake up, wake up!"
However, Zhou Xuan was obviously not awake at this time. Wei Xiaoyu did not know that Zhou Xuan was seriously injured because of excessive use of ice energy. She thought that he had just choked on water after falling into the pool, just like her. After calling him a few times without waking up, she lay down and performed artificial respiration on Zhou Xuan.
However, what came out of Zhou Xuan's mouth was not water, but a salty and fishy taste, which did not seem like water. Wei Xiaoyu had naturally splashed some and tasted it when she was swimming in the pool. The water in the pool was cold and sharp, but it was definitely clean fresh water!
But she couldn't see anything around her, and Wei Xiaoyu was so anxious she was about to cry. In the instant she fell from above, she didn't know what had caused it.
Of course, apart from Zhou Xuan and the person who used ice energy to frame them, no one else knew what had happened. The ground suddenly collapsed too abruptly, and there was no sound of an explosion. In the end, they could only guess that the ground was hollow, and that there were too many of them on it, which caused the place to collapse!
This included Wei Xiaoyu, who had the same thought. While Wei Xiaoyu was performing artificial respiration with a sob in her voice, she called Zhou Xuan's name, calling it twice and then performing artificial respiration again.
Zhou Xuan finally let out a soft "hmm" through his nose. Wei Xiaoyu was overjoyed, and tears streamed down her face. She asked in a low voice, "Zhou Xuan... are you... are you alright?"
Zhou Xuan didn't answer, but Wei Xiaoyu heard several splashes of water about three or four meters away. Then, two people climbed up the rocks, coughing and calling out, "Boss Guo, Zhang Cheng... are you all here?... Where... where are you?"
The sound was terrifying; it was trembling. They didn't know what kind of terrifying creatures awaited them in that dark, bottomless pit, or how many people were still there.
