Dragon Seeker

How far can a person run while holding his breath? !

If someone says that he can hold on for more than five minutes, please hit him with a combo.

In fact, I only held on for less than a minute, knowing that breathing would ingest poison.

This is a road to challenge and surpass oneself. Not everyone has the same terrible will as Zhang Haidi. Even with the threat of death, they may not be able to hold on to the end. With high-intensity physical consumption, I feel that my lungs are like a balloon that has been stretched to the limit and will burst in my abdominal cavity at any time. The heart is burning and unbearable, hotter than strong liquor in the throat.

Gradually, everything in front of me began to blur.

I don't know if this is a symptom caused by poisoning or lack of oxygen. I only know that now I am willing to give everything to get a breath of fresh air, even if I sell my soul to the devil.

"I can't care so much. I would rather be poisoned than suffocated to death."

I finally couldn't stand it anymore. I stopped and supported the wall with one hand, breathing heavily.

Unfortunately, there was no sense of relief, but the throat and eye mucosa were extremely uncomfortable and stinging.

I turned my head to look at the others. Zhang Xinya's face was slightly flushed, and Brother Yaozi had blue eye bags. Everyone was abnormal. However, I don't know if it was because Lao Bai could smell the bitter almonds, his symptoms of poisoning were particularly severe. He suddenly stopped after running a few steps, his face twitched, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and some white foam appeared at the corners of his mouth. His body was straight, and his bones and joints were completely unable to move. Those who didn't know thought he was electrocuted.

This is a typical paroxysmal spasm, which is a state that only occurs when the poisoning is very serious, but Lao Bai didn't care at all. Even when he was twitching, he had to jump forward. He had a strong desire to survive. When he passed by me, he didn't forget to pull me. I struggled to stand up straight and fled here with him at a high speed.

This time, I didn't hold my breath deliberately, but just lowered my breathing rate appropriately.

The signs of poisoning soon appeared on me. There was a strong feeling of nausea brewing in my chest. My eyes were burning. I finally felt the bitter almond smell that Lao Bai mentioned, but I didn't smell it. I tasted it in my dry mouth. Everything in front of me began to become chaotic. My brain's thinking ability was sluggish. It was like a machine that was wound up. I only knew to run forward blindly.

I don't know how long it took, the green gradually faded, the cave turned into a narrow corridor, and the surroundings suddenly became dry...

"Out, out..."

Lao Bai grabbed me and said breathlessly: "I can't smell the bitter almond smell anymore."

He used the skill of usurping bones to find fragrance. His sensitivity to smell was even better than that of dogs. As long as there was a trace of poison gas in the air, he should be able to identify it immediately.

This shows that we should stay away from the diffused area of ​​​​poison gas.

I breathed a sigh of relief. My legs were sore and weak. I immediately sat down in the corridor and gasped.

While I was talking, Lao Bai started to twitch again and knelt down in front of me. I was just about to say don't be so polite and explain that he had absolutely nothing to do with his female elders, but then he hit my stomach with his forehead.

The symptoms of poisoning were too severe. I subconsciously looked at Zhang Xinya, wanting to ask what to do with hydrogen cyanide poisoning, but I found that Zhang Xinya, Brother Yaozi, and Old Diaoye had already slept together, or fainted.

I was anxious for a moment and was about to get up to wake them up. If they fell asleep due to poisoning, wouldn't that mean they didn't want to wake up? As a result, as soon as I held Lao Bai's shoulders with both hands, I heard him fart like frying beans, one after another, mixed with some water sounds...

A foul smell spread...

I thought that the symptoms of poisoning are different for different people. Others are drowsy, but he is incontinent. I don't know if it was affected by the strong stench. I just felt that my abdomen was churning. I tilted my head and vomited violently.

This kind of vomiting is definitely not normal. In fact, I vomited so much that there was nothing in my stomach in the end, but I still retched non-stop. Green liquid dripped from the corners of my mouth, which should be bile.

The vomiting feeling gradually disappeared until I couldn't lift any strength in my body. At this time, I had already forgotten Brother Yaozi and the others. It was as if my bones were crushed. I turned over and leaned against the cold stone wall of the corridor. I felt dizzy and my vision was blurry.

"It seems that we can't get out. Well, we are buried here, so we won't be alone on the road to the underworld!"

Lao Bai turned over and sat beside me. When he sat down, he made a strange "puff" sound, like the sound of stepping on a rotten banana. I was in a daze, leaning on him and slowly closing my eyes. I only vaguely saw that when he sat down for a moment, his expression was particularly ecstatic...

I seemed to fall into a strange dream.

In the dream, there was no one, nothing happened, only endless darkness.

However, when the darkness wrapped me, it was like a thick quilt wrapped me tightly in the cold winter, especially when I curled up, there was an indescribable warmth and sense of security, which made me want to sleep until the end of time.

At least, I don't have to hold the head of an acquaintance and stare at that sallow face...

Even if I occasionally wake up, I will wonder - is this the taste of death? If it always is like this, maybe, it's not bad...

Even, there is a voice in my heart that keeps telling me - go to sleep, the world is so troubled, it's so good to just sleep like this, no longer have to see the desperate roars of companions and the hideous faces of death, no longer have to bear the pressure of survival and the burden of the family, and no longer have to think about the comfort of parents day and night, here is only tranquility, even... happiness.

Yes, it is happiness.

In the darkness, everything slowed down, wrapped in that strange warmth, that taste, I relied on my not very agile thinking, it took me a long time to figure it out, it turned out that this is happiness.

Until... a sudden coldness enveloped me, the darkness was completely torn apart, and a bright light appeared in my world...

I shuddered and turned my head away subconsciously. I suddenly woke up and found that Lao Bai was right in front of me, holding a water bag in his hand, pouting his mouth and holding clear water to spray it on my face.

Seeing that I woke up, Lao Bai still didn't give up. He immediately touched my forehead with his hand and looked at me with suspicion: "Did some dirty thing harass you while you were unconscious?"

I wiped the water stains on my face fiercely, rolled my upper lip under my nostrils and smelled it, and moved away from him with a look of disgust, and said unhappily: "What are you talking about?"

Lao Bai still had some doubts.

Then, three more faces covered with stains came up, like three beggars. They were Brother Yaozi and the other three, who woke up earlier than me.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

Zhang Xinya also said doubtfully: "When you were unconscious, you kept saying that death was so comfortable, just like a cult propaganda. We are worried that there is something unclean that is inducing you..."

I was stunned, then turned my head away and said no.

Perhaps, the unclean things have already taken root in my heart, from the moment I helped Qiye sew up his body...

I thought silently in my heart.

If I say that Qiye and I have a deep relationship and are worth living and dying together, I am afraid that even I will laugh if I say it out. We have only been together for a short time, and we have not experienced the test of life and death together like Lao Bai and others, but he makes me unforgettable, just simply because of a factor called killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

I know that this may also be a kind of psychological trauma.

After a moment of silence, I gradually adjusted my mood and asked subconsciously: "How long have we been unconscious?"

"I don't know, it should be a long time."

It turned out that he judged the length of time by this...

However, he then said that this time we really have to thank the Gu King. We were all poisoned too deeply. If we didn't get timely treatment, we would definitely die. It was the Gu King who swallowed the poison in our bodies.

Moreover, perhaps the Gu King also played a protective role in this.

After all, all five of us were knocked down at that time. If the old fox attacked us, it would be easy to take our lives.

"But at least we are all alive."

Brother Yaozi sighed: "Now, the biggest problem is right in front of us."

As he said, he pushed everyone aside and pointed to the front.

I found that we are now at a crossroads, where two corridors intersect.

"No!"

I said almost subconsciously: "I remember that when we were unconscious, we were not at such a crossroads, where the tomb passage was straight..."

As I was talking, I stopped talking because I noticed the expressions of Brother Yaozi and the others. Obviously, they had already noticed this problem.

So, what happened when we were unconscious?

Why did we appear inexplicably in such a place when we woke up?

This question is absolutely unsolvable for the five of us.

I immediately took out the wind chime and tried to communicate with Cang Yao.

Maybe she was a witness.

"Don't ask me, I don't know either."

Cang Yao answered quickly, with a cold voice: "Thank you for letting me experience the feeling of death again!"

Then, she didn't respond.

"Wan Niang'er said the same thing."

Zhang Xinya shrugged and said that she had asked Wan Niang'er a long time ago.

The reason is very simple. When we were poisoned and fell, we were already dead in a sense. Whether it was Wan Niang'er and Zhang Xinya, or me and Cang Yao, we were all connected. When we were dying and unconscious, they would also fall into a daze and not feel anything around them at all!

After all, the only one who knew the answer was the Gu King!

Unfortunately, Lao Bai's methods were not good enough now, and he could only communicate with the Gu King in a very simple way, and he could not get any useful information at all.

"Besides, the Gu King fell into a deep sleep..."

Lao Bai said: "It was the first one to save me. At that time, I vaguely felt it crawling on my face. When I woke up, I found that the symptoms of poisoning on you guys had disappeared, and the Gu King also fell asleep beside me. Anyway, our survival must be related to it."

"Who cares!"

Unable to figure it out, Brother Yaozi simply stopped thinking about it and waved his hand and shouted: "At least a few of us are still alive. I want to see what tricks that old fox is playing to get us to where the hell is!"

After saying that, he drew the short knife from his waist, randomly chose a path, and walked over first.
