0318 Light Gate
"I don't know either. I was here when I woke up. I don't know where this place is, who I am, and why I am here."
The mermaid hugged her head in distress, revealing the seductive charm on her chest, which made Ding Ning dry.
With a "whip", Luo Xue woke up leisurely, blinking her confused eyes. After seeing the mermaid clearly, she not only was not afraid, but also looked eager to take her as a spiritual pet.
Ding Ning was so scared that he hurriedly held her in his arms to stop her from moving, fearing that she would provoke this unfathomable mermaid. Who knew that she had any unique skills? If Luo Xue's soul was swallowed, he wouldn't have time to cry.
"Brother, what a beautiful mermaid, but why is its tail black?"
Luo Xue tilted her head and looked at the mermaid curiously, looking drooling.
Ding Ning patted her buttocks with annoyance: "Don't move, I'm asking her about the situation."
Instead, he asked with his mental power: "Beautiful mermaid, have you ever explored here? And, why do you eat your soul?"
"Soul? What is the soul?"
The mermaid blinked her pure and flawless eyes, looking confused.
"It's the phantoms you just ate."
Ding Ning gestured, trying to make her understand, but secretly her muscles were tense and ready to go. Once she broke up, she would take action first.
"Oh!" The mermaid showed a sudden look and rubbed her flat belly without any fat, and puffed her mouth aggrievedly: "Because I'm hungry, I don't know how long I have been here and I haven't eaten anything. I can only eat this way, otherwise I would have starved to death."
"Well!"
Ding Ning was speechless about this explanation. It was absolutely right for him to eat hungry. Although he felt that devouring souls was evil, his great truth could not be expressed in the face of the innocent look of the mermaid.
"Sister Mermaid, will you eat us when you are hungry?"
Well, Ding Luoxue is still so... innocent and innocent. She asked such a taboo question directly, which made Ding Ning sweat in a cold sweat, fearing that the mermaids would turn against each other and eat them as food.
He even regretted that he had taught Luo Xue to refine the magic trick, otherwise she would not have used her mental power to communicate and destroy the good situation of stability and harmony in front of her.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became suppressed, and Ding Ning was sweating from behind nervousness, and he was like a cheetah staring at food, launching an attack at any time.
"Eat you?"
The mermaid blinked in confusion: "How can you eat food if you don't have food?"
Ding Ning relaxed all over. Fortunately, if this mermaid didn't tell lies, it means that she could only swallow the souls of dead creatures and unable to swallow the souls of living people. Then he would be relieved.
"Besides, I don't know how long it's been here alone. I'm not happy that you're here to be my company."
The mermaid showed a sweet smile, like flowers blooming, and was so beautiful that Ding Ning's eyes shone.
But then he realized from the mermaid's words that he was in the current situation. He didn't know how high he fell down, and with this strange gravity, how could he fly back later?
Ding Luoxue seemed to realize this, frowned and said, "Is there any other outlet here?"
"Exit? I don't know, I can only do it in this area."
The mermaid said sadly, opened her mouth and blew a breath at the dark river beneath her. The river water magically separated to the sides, revealing the dark bottom of the river.
Ding Ning's eyes narrowed, and his face showed a look of pity. The mermaid's huge tail was penetrated by eight chains fixed on both sides of the river, limiting her freedom. The shocking wounds caused by the eight chains made him feel very painful.
Luo Xue seemed to recall her tragic experience, and tears of distress were almost falling: "Sister Mermaid, don't you feel pain? Who is so cruel that she treats you like this?"
The mermaid blinked her clear big eyes: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt so much after eating. I don't know who locked me here. I'm here when I wake up."
"How long has it been?" Ding Ning's heart was trembling. Compared to the pain Luo Xue suffered, this mermaid was no inferior to her at all, which made him feel a little distressed.
"I don't know, it must have been a long time."
The mermaid seemed to have no idea of time. She broke up the green onion jade fingers and counted her fingers clumsy and cutely. Later, she found that she could not count ten fingers. She shook her head in distress and gave up calculating the time.
Ding Ning's heart trembled. The poor mermaid didn't know how long she had been alone in the dark space. She relied on singing to hunt food to replenish energy.
Thinking of this, it seems that her soul-devouring behavior is understandable. After all, even if she wants to eat meat, she can't eat it, and her range of activities can only be in the underworld.
"Brother, let's help her, she's so pitiful!"
Luoxue shook Ding Ning's arm with tears clattering and begging.
She didn't say that, Ding Ning was just thinking about it, and immediately nodded and said, "Mermaid, do you want to leave here? Can I take you away?"
"Leave here? Of course I thought about it, but..."
A dark look flashed in the mermaid's eyes as bright as pearls: "I can't live without it. This iron chain is very hard and it can't be done at all!"
"I'll try it!"
Ding Ning disagreed. After all, the mermaid is weak and powerless, so he is confident that he can break the chain with brute force.
"Is it really OK?"
The mermaid's face showed a look of expectation.
“It should be no problem.”
Ding Ning said, and had already walked up to him, reached out to grab the chain and twisted it hard...
It’s so embarrassing that this iron chain looks like an ordinary iron chain, but Ding Ning noticed its abnormality as soon as he started.
I don't know what material this iron chain is made of. It is not only extremely heavy, but also emits a cold air, which makes him shudder.
Ding Ning didn't believe in evil and tried again, but let the blue veins on his forehead swell and his face turned red. He even used the energy to eat milk, but the iron chain still had no response.
The luster of hope in the mermaid's eyes dimmed little by little, and she smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm used to it anyway."
"Yes... I'm sorry, I keep getting these iron chains."
Ding Ning lowered his head and said guiltily, having no face to face the mermaid's dazzling eyes, but he quickly raised his head and said firmly: "Give me some time, I will definitely find a way to rescue you."
Looking at Ding Ning's resolute eyes, the mermaid showed a sweet smile: "I believe in you!"
"Brother, is there no way?"
Seeing that Ding Ning, who had always been omnipotent, had no choice but to ask Luo Xue unwillingly.
"We have to find a way to go out first, get some tools, and cut a little bit of it can cut the chain."
Ding Ning gritted his teeth and said with hatred.
"Well, I will definitely save Sister Mermaid."
Luo Xue felt an innate feeling of intimacy towards the mermaid, and she was determined to save her.
"Yes, sure."
Ding Ning rubbed Luo Xue's head and promised as if he had swear.
The mermaid looked at the intimate look of the two of them in a daze, and a hint of envy appeared in her eyes.
"Mermaid, we have to go out and prepare some things first. When we come with tools, we will definitely rescue you."
Ding Ning said confidently.
"Are you...you're leaving?"
The luster in the mermaid's eyes suddenly dimmed again and said with reluctance.
"Brother, why don't I stay with Sister Mermaid? You can find your way out and come to us again?"
Luo Xue said a little reluctantly.
"This...is not good, what if there is no other way out?"
Ding Ning was really worried about throwing Luo Xue here. Although she thought the mermaid was pitiful, who knew if she would eat Luo Xue when she was hungry.
"It's okay, the Skywings and the others are with me. If there is no other way, won't you come back?"
Luo Xue's attitude is very firm and insists on staying.
"Do you have something to eat?"
Ding Ning thought that with the air wings and they could change their perspective at any time. There should be no problem with the safety of falling snow. The only thing I worry about is that I don’t know how big it is. What if I get lost?
"Yes, I picked a lot of wild fruits outside just now, and I came here before I could eat them."
Luo Xue took out a handful of wild fruits from her bag like a show-off, and it was hard for this girl to hold on to the bag that Ding Ning gave her even though she was confused.
Seeing that Ding Ning was still a little worried, Luo Xue pointed to the pile of minced meat of insects and beasts on the ground again: "I'm carrying the fire. Even if the wild fruits are finished, I can still barbecue."
Ding Ning then remembered that Luo Xue had lived three years of dark underground life, and it should not be easy to starve her to death. He immediately stopped hesitating, "Okay, I'll find a way out now. You'll wait for me here. If I don't come back, don't leave."
"Well, don't worry, brother, please be careful. If there is really no food, isn't there any mermaid sister? I eat her soul and I eat meat, so no matter how hard she is, hehe!"
Luo Xue was also a little reluctant, but she still smiled and dispelled Ding Ning's concerns.
Ding Ning wanted to warn the mermaid, but looking at her simple and ignorant eyes, she couldn't say the threatening words. She could only give orders to the three air wings in her spirit to protect Luoxue and strode forward.
After leaving the black land, Ding Ning felt relaxed and felt as if he was as light as a swallow.
When you find a way out, you must study the black land carefully and see why there is such a terrible gravity, which is enough to match the gravity dozens of times on the ground.
As he walked further and further, Ding Ning found that this space seemed to be an extremely wide corridor, as if it had no boundaries, which made him gradually feel a little anxious.
The most terrifying thing is that it is very quiet here, there is not even the sound of insects and ants, and there is no plant. It is deserted everywhere, making people feel uneasy.
Ding Ning didn't remember how long he had been walking, and even his spiritual marks began to become blurred, his eyes turned dark and he actually came to an end. Fortunately, there was no way out, and a light gate appeared at the end.
Ding Ning stared at the light gate, hesitating. The light gate was very strange. It was not touched by the world and was erected in the space out of thin air, giving him a very fantasy feeling.
But now he had no choice but to retreat. The light gate was the only hope. No matter what, Ding Ning gritted his teeth and took a step towards the light gate.
A dizzy feeling of weightlessness came, and Ding Ning was shocked. Before he could react, he noticed a ripples like water waves in the light gate, and he suddenly felt down to the ground.
Ding Ning looked closely and saw that the space where it was only a few dozen square meters in size. The space was empty. Except for a statue of a monster with a ferocious face and strange shape, there was no other way out. The surrounding walls were made of thick granite, and there was no hope of breaking out of the wall.
This made him feel disappointed. Is the only way out there that way when he came in? Forget it, go back and find a way to see if he can fly back.
