Blue Star

Only some parts of the ground in the cave still have railroad tracks, and the minecarts used to transport the crystal ore are severely oxidized, and will shatter like biscuits if touched slightly.

But fortunately, after advancing ten meters, an abandoned mine cart with crystal ore was found.There are a lot of suppression crystal ore and defense crystal ore inside, and the purity is very high, almost approaching the level of being refined by Dauporin.

The mine cart rolled over on the side of the track, and there were still many mining picks that fell in a panic under the rock wall, but most of them were unusable.

Gu Li stuffed the crystal ore into his bag, and found a high-purity lighting crystal ore to replace the ring lighting.Ore with a volume as large as an egg is much brighter, and under the control of the magnetic field, it can almost illuminate the entire mine.

Walking down the slope of the track, there are several rooms on both sides of the mine where the dwarves used to rest.There are a lot of canned rations and various mining tools inside.

He checked it roughly, and it was all broken.

Since the underground was opened up by monsters, the mine has become damp, and many things that could have been preserved all year round have all rotted.It looks complete, but falls apart with the slightest touch.

He strapped the Lighting Quartz in the short belt around his shoulders, and after freeing his hands, he activated the ring to deploy the defensive magnetic field.

It is not difficult for a boneless octopus to squeeze its huge body into a narrow mine.If monsters living in the Abyss use underground mines as their lairs, there is a good chance that similar pups will be found in the caves.

"Iris!" He yelled at the intersection in the mine a few times, but he didn't get any more responses except his echo.

The underground mining area is hotter than the ground, and the air becomes thinner as you go in.

When the town was invaded, all areas were wiped out.In the hardest-hit mining area, several exits collapsed, and if they stay underground for a long time, they may suffer from lack of oxygen.

The mine that Iris entered was two meters away from where he was, and apart from the height of the two mines, it was really hard to hear the call from the other party due to the distance between them.

The mines dug by the dwarves were not high, and they had to bend over when walking.Holding on to the narrow mine wall to breathe, he looked at the road in front of him that was blocked by the collapse, so he could only turn back and walk the other way with a headache.

There are too many forks in the mine, sometimes uphill and sometimes downhill.When he reached the fifth fork, he was completely lost in direction.

The magnetic field fluctuations under the Goddess Pillar are very strong, which is like adding a heavy obstacle to his perception.

"Damn it." After seeing another blocked mine, he cursed uncontrollably.

This damned ghost place, no matter which way you go is a dead end, it seems that the only way out is the abyss you fell into.

Suddenly, the collapsed gravel slope in front of him shook slightly.Before he could react in time, the rusty rails under his feet suddenly sank.

The left hand did not fully regain consciousness, and the right hand was numb from the crushed stone, and half of the body sank uncontrollably.

He took a deep breath and tried to climb with his elbows, but the gravel was like a mudslide after a heavy rain, and there was no place for him to use his strength.

Just when he thought he would be buried and suffocated by the rubble, a pair of powerful hands pulled him out of the collapsing rubble.

He grabbed the opponent's collar tightly and exerted all his strength, instead of rolling and falling out of the gravel.

"Cough, cough... Iris..." A large amount of dust was inhaled into the nasal cavity, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Iris snorted, his face ugly.

Gu Li supported the ground with one hand and almost crushed the fish to death. After all, he also weighed 140 kilograms, so it probably hurt from the impact.The impact when he fell into the abyss and cut off the climbing rope was not small, and I don't know if Iris's ribs are okay.

He rolled quickly to the other side, slapped Iris on the cheek and asked, "Where did it hit? Where does it hurt?"

Iris shook his head, as disfigured by the stirred up dust as he was.After coughing for a while, he finally recovered.

"...Gu Li." Iris was weak when he spoke, half of his leg was crushed under the gravel.

Gu Li hurriedly got up to dig the stones, and after making sure that his leg was not injured, he dragged him to a place farther away from the collapsed place to rest.

Without waiting for Yu's consent, he quickly unbuttoned Iris's military uniform, and raised his hand to gently press the bone on the bluish skin that he hit.

"Does it hurt here?"

Iris stared at Gu Li's pressing hand up and down, although it didn't hurt, he still responded, "It hurts."

Gu Li frowned, he didn't dare to press too hard, he could only grope to check if his ribs were broken.

Iris sat up straight with his hands on the ground, the pain was not in his abdomen, but Gu Li touched him, and he didn't want to refuse.

Gu Li secretly heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that his ribs were not injured, but he soon became tense again.The rock wall that Iris was leaning against was faintly stained with blue blood. Although it was hidden by the back leaning against him deliberately, part of the blood dripped down the corner of the wall to the ground.

Before entering the mine, he only took a cursory glance, only knowing the octopus wrist cut off by the mermaid, but he didn't notice that Iris was injured.

He remembered the mermaid sound wave he heard when the octopus arm was covering the hole, and couldn't help but said, "Let me see your back."

Iris leaned his back against the wall, and when he learned that Gu Li found out that he was injured, he turned his head in a bad mood.

If there is no use value, he will be abandoned by the team. He clearly remembers Gu Li's warning.

"I won't touch it, just look at it." Gu Li's palm clung to Iris' shoulder, but he couldn't move it a bit.

For Iris, who was unwilling to cooperate, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I don't want to watch it." He took out a bottle of inhibitory crystal powder prepared by Daoporin from his bag and put it on the ground, turned his back and said: " But you have to deal with the wound, otherwise, if an infection occurs, you are likely to die here. That mutated octopus is not affected by the magnetic field like you, and the infected body in it is not necessarily more difficult to deal with than the salamander."

Iris didn't say a word, and carefully observed Gu Li's behavior, as if he didn't intend to abandon him.After several confirmations, he reached for the glass bottle containing the suppression crystal powder.

Gu Li took off the lighting crystal mine strapped to his shoulder and placed it behind him.Iris didn't let him see it, so he could only look at the reflection on the wall with the help of the light.

The injury was on the back, but it seemed that the fabric of the clothes was not damaged.He couldn't help wondering, but he couldn't look back to check the injury.

Iris took off his shirt, because most of the bottle of crystal powder was spilled on the ground because he couldn't see it.

Gu Li looked at the reflection, and said again: "If it's inconvenient, I can help you."

Iris glanced at him, wondering if he had completely put the crystal powder on.Quickly put on the clothes and fasten the buttons, pinch the remaining half bottle of crystal powder and say, "Your hand?"

Gu Li clenched his left hand, which had gradually regained consciousness, and comforted him: "I'm fine, you used up the crystal powder, so don't keep it for me."

However, Iris was not as obedient as before.Pulled his left hand, took off the glove, and poured all the remaining crystal powder on the reddened part of his skin.

He didn't resist at all, he just said: "I showed you my wound, should I check your wound too?"

Iris returned the empty glass bottle to him, then leaned his back against the wall again, and said with difficulty: "I'm done."

Gu Li didn't waste any more time on this issue, he opened his backpack and took out the defensive crystals and placed them around.After amplifying the magnetic field, it was confirmed that the location of the two people was temporarily safe, and then they lay down next to the wall to rest.

I don't know if it's because of the use of biological electromagnetic waves. His physical fatigue is like receiving the mental magnetic field of Iris.

"Then rest and find a way out in an hour."

Iris watched him rest with his eyes closed, and lay down after waiting for a while.But always kept a certain distance, for fear of touching him where he was injured.

Gu Li turned his back to Iris, and turned around gently when he heard the sound of even breathing coming from behind him.

I thought Iris fell asleep and wanted to take the opportunity to check the wound.Unexpectedly, the fish was not asleep and was watching him quietly with its eyes open.

"..."

"..."

Gu Li was a little embarrassed, and simply stretched out his arms to hug Iris, bringing them closer.Buried his face in Iris' neck, he asked in a muffled voice, "I called you from above, did you hear me? Why didn't you answer? Afraid I don't want you?"

Iris put his arms under Gu Li's neck, bent his elbows, and hugged Gu Li into his arms.His spouse was feeling sorry for him, and he felt it.But he could no longer trust this human being, because Gu Li had already thrown him twice, and he had to hide his wounds.

Iris' back was pressed against the wall, and Gu Li couldn't touch the injured part, so he had to withdraw his hand and said, "If it's serious, we can rest for two more days before taking action."

Holding his arms tightly, Iris' tone was aggrieved, "I want to eat you..."

Gu Li raised his hand and used his sleeve to help Iris wipe off the dust on his face, and said helplessly, "No. You know, even if it infects me, I may not be able to become like you."

"You are, mine." Iris affirmed.

"I belong to no one."

"Then eat it."

Gu Li couldn't help chuckling.Iris began to speak more, although it was still intermittent and incoherent, but there was no need to stop and think about the conversation with him, it was almost open.

Seeing that he was still in the mood to smile, Iris bit his lips angrily.However, he was not willing to use force, and it loosened after leaving only two rows of teeth marks.

"If you don't want me, go back to the sea."

"Threat me?" Gu Li kissed Iris's mouth, and said softly: "It seems that Dao Porling is right, you have really learned badly."

While speaking, a shrill scream came from outside the mine.

Iris sat up one step ahead of Gu Li, and the expression on his face was even more nervous than when he perceived the mutated octopus before.He didn't have time to worry about the injury on his back, so he pushed back, signaling Gu Li to retreat into the mine.

Gu Li's nerves were also tensed to the limit, and he increased the surrounding magnetic field fluctuations like a frightened bird.

At the same time, he finally saw the injury on Iris' back.The fabric of the clothes was not completely damaged. Near the spine, a sharp tooth the size of a palm was deeply embedded in the flesh, and the part that was cut open showed deep bones.

Now it is covered by the mermaid's self-healing film, and a large amount of blue blood is deposited in the film.If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really thought it was just an ordinary scratch.

But before he had time to feel uncomfortable for two seconds, he saw a boneless wrist quickly twisting and coming in from the mine.
