As the number of Black Vine attacking us increased, I felt dizzy and almost panicked.
A dull sound came from Xianxian's side; it was the sound of bullets running out! Not good! I turned my head to see Xianxian quickly reaching into his pocket. His movements were swift, and he pulled out a knife in an instant. Before I could feel relieved, I was choked up because what Xianxian took out was not a dagger or a long knife; it was a small folding stainless steel knife, no bigger than my palm!
“Xianxian, where's your dagger?” I clearly saw him use it before; why did he pull out this tiny "useless knife" at such a critical moment?
Xianxian glanced at the approaching Black Vine and hurriedly said, “I lost it.”
“You really are something…” Just as I spoke, a sudden sharp pain shot through my leg. I looked down and found that one of the Black Vine's sharp tips had already pierced my thigh, and blood instantly stained my casual pants!
“Be careful!” Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly noticed more Black Vine stabbing toward Xianxian. Just as I was about to turn around to help him, I realized that dozens of sharp Black Vine had appeared on my side as well!
This is bad! There was no way to dodge this time!
I stared in disbelief at the dense mass of Black Vine ahead, all angles covered. No matter how fast I moved, there was absolutely no way to avoid being pierced! Was this really how it was going to end for me? I refused to accept it! Lime and Xianxian were both here; I was no longer the person I used to be…
Clearly… clearly… I closed my eyes in despair, but unexpectedly, the pain I imagined did not come. Could it be that death really passed by in an instant? I opened my eyes in a daze, only to find that those Black Vine had actually stopped!
Countless cold-tipped points were aimed at us from all directions. They were so close to turning us into porcupines, yet they halted their attack! The numerous thin and sharp Black Vine remained suspended in mid-air, not moving an inch.
“What… happened?” I asked in astonishment.
“I don’t know…” Xianxian murmured with a puzzled expression.
This kind of scenario that only occurs in mythological movies actually happened! Moreover, the pain in my leg and the fatigue throughout my body clearly told me that this was no dream; you are not dreaming!
"Lime..." I was just about to ask about the lemon when I noticed that his shirt sleeves were soaked with blood, and the sharp Black Vine in front of him was dripping with it...
Could it be Lime's blood? This thought suddenly crossed my mind, and recalling the ancient lemon I had seen earlier, my suspicions grew stronger. Unable to hold back any longer, I pulled Xianxian over and excitedly said to Lime, "Lime, I think we might be saved!"
Xianxian also clearly saw the fresh blood on Lime's arm and looked at me in surprise, saying, "You think..."
I nodded vigorously, noticing that Lime was looking at me in confusion. I quickly recounted what I had seen under the Black Vine, especially the ancient person who looked exactly like him!
After I finished speaking, Lime didn't comment on the "doppelganger" aspect. After a brief moment of surprise, he calmed down. He slightly raised his head to look at the still-dripping Black Vine, tucked his knife into his waist, and then grasped the Black Vine. Surprisingly, it did not evade him and remained unusually quiet!
Xianxian and I exchanged astonished glances. Xianxian immediately gave Lime a thumbs up and said, "Bro! Real brother! Is there anything you can't do!? Can you teach me how to turn the impossible into miracles?"
Lime shook his head with a faint smile and said, "Climb down and take a look."
"Climb this?" Xianxian pointed at the surrounding Black Vines, asking even more excitedly than I was.
"Yes." Lime confirmed, putting the flashlight in his mouth while gripping the nearby Black Vine. Seeing this, I also tried to grab a nearby Black Vine, but before I could touch it, the Black Vine suddenly darted back into the darkness! Xianxian also failed to make contact with his Black Vine.
Sure enough! This thing only recognized Lime. It must have paused its attack upon seeing blood! This was getting more interesting!
Noticing this as well, Lime turned to us and said, "Grab my arm."
"Are you sure?" Just as I was about to reach out, I heard Xianxian ask.
I thought for a moment and realized that I hadn't considered this thoroughly. So I asked, "The two of us together weigh quite a bit; can your..." can your arm handle it? Looking at Lime's slender frame and thin arms made me hesitate to follow his suggestion. Although I knew it wouldn't break...
"It's not that Fengfeng and I don't trust you; I think we should just hold onto each other instead. It's safer that way," Xianxian added.
"Embracing the waist? Well, it is indeed safer than hugging the arms, after all, the waist is thicker..."
"Mm." Lime nodded and turned his head away.
At Xianxian's request, I reluctantly wrapped my arms around Lime's waist. To my surprise, I found that his waist was even thinner than it looked. I was afraid that if I applied too much force, I would break him. Without thinking too much, Xianxian had already hugged my waist from behind and let out a couple of "tch" sounds, lightly laughing, "Fengfeng, your waist is really thin. If you had long hair, you'd definitely be a pretty girl!"
"Girl your aunt!" I couldn't help but curse.
"Tch, don't get worked up. This Lord was just making a metaphor," Xianxian said. Just as he said "metaphor," Lime suddenly leaped forward, and I felt a weight on me. I almost slipped and quickly tightened my grip around Lime's waist. At the same time, I felt a tightening around my own waist as Xianxian exclaimed dramatically from below, "Damn it, you scared This Lord to death! Almost fell down! I said Lemon Brother, could you please give me a heads-up before you do things like this? My heart can't take it!"
"Pah, stop being shameless. I'm starving to death; I can't throw up now!" While cursing Xianxian for being shameless, I felt we were rapidly falling downwards into an abyss that seemed bottomless. I had no idea what was below or how long we would fall...
As Xianxian pinched my waist, I suddenly felt an urge to kick him down. Xianxian unhappily said, "Fengfeng, we're brothers, brothers! Can you give me some face?"
"Face is earned by oneself. You dare to be shameless in front of Master Qing; aren't you afraid they might get angry and take you out?" I chuckled maliciously.
Xianxian scoffed dismissively. I could imagine him rolling his eyes right now as he narcissistically said, "This Lord fears neither gods nor ghosts, and certainly not brothers who stab me in the back!"
"Well said!" If it weren't for our current predicament, I would have applauded him immediately and given him a hundred and twenty thumbs up!
Xianxian coldly snorted and proudly declared, "Of course! Those who stab you in the back are not true brothers!"
