Dawn [Sword Three System]

The ground under his feet was very soft. Wei Bai stopped after walking a few steps. He lowered his head and observed the ground carefully.His feet sank slightly, Wei Bai looked at it for a while, then turned his head, and the road behind him unexpectedly became flat without any footprints.

Wei Bai thought for a while, and called out to Li Qingze: "Have you ever seen a sandy land that can automatically return to its original state?"

Li Qingze was still holding a handful of sand in his hand, and he frowned incomprehensibly after hearing Wei Bai's question, but when his eyes swept over the sand behind Wei Bai and Ren Tianzhu, he quickly understood, "Isn't this Sand, just like sand..."

Wei Bai was noncommittal to Li Qingze's nonsense, he turned around, and was about to take a step, but stopped a moment before taking action.

Is it an illusion?

Wei Bai lowered his head and stared at the ground.

Everyone had planned to move on, but was stopped by Gao Xue.She watched Wei Bai's strange movements, and shook her head at the people behind.

1 minute, 2 minutes... Wei Bai remained motionless, and no one dared to step forward.Everyone looked at Wei Bai puzzled, hoping to get an explanation, but Wei Bai seemed determined not to speak, just keeping his head down.

Soon, someone in the crowd became uneasy, and this emotion quickly infected others.Seeing this, Ren Tianzhu walked back a few steps and rushed to Wei Bai's side.He had a tacit understanding and didn't make a sound to disturb, but silently prepared to protect the person in front of him.

Wei Bai didn't care about the reaction of the people around him, all his energy was concentrated on the ground under his feet.Although ordinary people couldn't notice the small change in that moment before, he did, and he attached great importance to it.

This land is sinking.

For the few minutes he stayed still, he was waiting for the ground to subside a second time to confirm his conjecture.Unexpectedly, the ground seemed to have wisdom and stopped moving.

Wei Bai frowned.In this case, his mental energy consumption is huge, and if he continues to consume like this, he won't even be able to last for a few minutes.

How to do?

His eyes wandered on the ground for a while, Wei Bai suddenly thought of something, he raised his head, looked at Ren Tianzhu in front of him, "You..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook, Wei Bai quickly stabilized his figure, but soon, his heart sank, and he was sinking at a crazy speed!The most terrible thing is that the sand seems to have a strong adsorption force. He tried to move his left foot slightly, but the result was that his entire calf submerged in an instant.However, the calf of the other leg that didn't move was only half-sinked. This posture directly affected the balance of the center of gravity. Wei Bai's body turned to the left, and he was about to fall down.

Ren Tianzhu, who had already taken out the thousand receivers and was about to get away, paused, then bent down and grabbed Wei Bai's right hand.The extra movement caused his legs to sag quickly, but Wei Bai, who was caught, relied on this force to stabilize his body.Supported by the two, they finally reached a balanced state, but it was already too late anyway.The sand gradually buried the waists of the two, Ren Tianzhu simply put the thousand receivers back.

Soon, the sand buried their hands and arms, but Ren Tianzhu's hand never let go.In the cold sandy land, Wei Bai could always feel the warmth belonging to the other party.

However, this warm feeling was quickly replaced by the pressure buried in the sand on his chest. The moment before his whole body was buried, Wei Bai finally sighed in his heart, it was too late... He wanted Ren Tianzhu to go back, After all, it was too late.But that person clearly had a chance to escape when the sinking first started, so why did he help himself?

The darkness fell completely, followed by a sense of suffocation... The only remaining sense of touch is still functioning, except for the wet and cold feeling, it is the temperature of the human hand.

Why do you want to save me?Wei Bai didn't understand.

Apart from using value, he really couldn't think of any reason for Ren Tianzhu to protect himself.However, today, at this moment, his guess was overturned.He has self-knowledge, his use value is far less important than Ren Tianzhu's life, but Ren Tianzhu's choice today is so stupid that it is outrageous.What's the use of reaching out and grabbing yourself who is about to fall?It was just to let him die a little later, and what the other party paid was his own life.

He doesn't understand.However, this question may really be buried here with him...

In the next second, his feet were empty.Wei Bai opened his eyes in surprise, but he clearly felt that his ankles and calves were slowly breaking away from the pressure of the ground.

Below is empty!

Wei Bai was overjoyed, but then a bunch of questions popped up again.

What is the underground terrain?How high are they from the ground after they fall?Are there monsters?

He didn't even have time to think about it, the whole person had already fallen down.The moment he was in the air, Wei Bai made a movement to slow down the injury from the fall, but before the movement was completed, he fell into the sand, and then slid down quickly against a pile of sand.

There is actually a steep slope below!

As the speed of the descent became faster and faster, Wei Bai began to worry about whether there would be a bend here... As a result, he slammed into someone's arms hard in the next second.Wei Bai's mind went blank for a moment, but he quickly realized that he stopped.As for the person who was hit, it was Ren Tianzhu who fell down before him.

The two of them are closely stuck together, because of the angle, they will not be able to separate easily for a while.Wei Bai simply stopped being particular, and found a more comfortable position to lie in Ren Tianzhu's arms.

The surroundings were pitch black, except for the wall in front of them that blocked their fall and the long slope behind them, everything else was unknown.After Wei Bai stopped, even the surrounding sounds disappeared.

The two of them were silent in the dead silence. A few minutes later, Wei Bai adjusted his posture and lay down in Ren Tianzhu's arms.

There was a dead silence again, and after a while, Wei Bai said in a muffled voice, "I'm dead!"

Ren Tianzhu: "...are you lying down?"

So Wei Bai stopped talking.

The two lay quietly in the darkness, feeling each other's heartbeat to dispel the depression in their hearts. However, as time passed, they both understood that this situation could not last long, and it was an inevitable choice to follow the wall to find the way out.But no one broke this state first.

In the silence, Wei Bai finally spoke first, "Why did you save me?"

Ren Tianzhu didn't answer.In the past, he often didn't answer Wei Bai's questions for various reasons, but this time it was because he didn't expect it.

Wei Bai had long been used to Ren Tianzhu's silence, but this time he didn't give up asking: "Why did you save me?"

Wei Bai felt that perhaps he had already realized that this issue had nothing to do with the overall situation, had nothing to do with the truth, and was just a personal issue.The answer to this question didn't seem to exist in his logic, but it made him want to know the answer even more.

Ren Tianzhu remained silent.

In the usual silence, Wei Bai can always come up with tricky ways to force the other party to speak, but this time, he is helpless.

Wei Bai tried his best to turn around and face Ren Tianzhu face to face.He opened his eyes, staring at each other's eyes as if he could see through the darkness.

The surrounding area was still as quiet as usual, Wei Bai's question was like a drop of water, when it fell into the water, it caused ripples, but immediately the lake returned to calm.But some things are different from the beginning after all.

"Why save me?" Wei Bai asked for the third time.It seemed to symbolize the inevitability of his answer to the question.

Ren Tianzhu didn't speak, but the silence this time actually carried the meaning of careful thinking.

Wei Bai waited patiently, amidst Ren Tianzhu's steady heartbeat.

Finally, Ren Tianzhu moved.

Wei Bai only felt that the other party's somewhat rough fingers lightly touched his eyelids, and then slowly moved down, as if he was looking for something.In the end, the other party's index finger stopped on his lower lip, and slowly rubbed it with his middle finger.In the next second, the lower jaw was lifted, and something warm was attached to it.
