Chapter 334
"Huff, huff."
Xu Lai was panting heavily, with beads of sweat dripping from his angular face as pale as a piece of paper to the ground. The cool breeze blew over his sweat-soaked clothes, making his body tremble unconsciously.
Just now, the severe pain that had disappeared for a while suddenly came back to him again. Without any warning, Xu Lai suddenly stopped and squatted down with a twisted and painful expression. His eyes, which were usually clear as water, were bloodshot.
Beside him, the two women and the Dragon God Prince watched this scene silently.
Even though their hearts were broken, they could not help Xu Lai at all at this moment, which made the two women start to hate their own powerlessness.
"I'm fine, let's continue on our way."
After a minute's rest, Xu Lai's complexion finally returned to normal, but his body had been damaged by the inevitable sequelae of pain, which made his movements a bit slow. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.
However, as two girls who have been together day and night, Luo Wei'er and Xue Youyou, who have always been concerned about Xu Lai, how could they not notice this.
With a pain in her heart, Xue Youyou's bright eyes were unconsciously misty. She turned her head away so that Xu Lai and the others would not notice her abnormality, and spoke as if nothing had happened.
"I just roughly calculated that if we travel at full speed during the day and rest at night, it will take a month to reach the elves."
"Sister Saint, will it take that long?"
Luo Wei'er frowned slightly, and her beautiful face was full of undisguised worry. She thought it would take at most ten days or half a month to reach the elves, but Xue Youyou asked for a month. This is when they are moving at full speed. If something unexpected happens on the road, it will be delayed even longer.
In this way, Xu Lai's illness may not be delayed until then.
It seems that this is my fate.
Xu Lai shook his head gently, sighed deeply, and then said to Xue Youyou and Luo Weier: "Then I won't go."
Seeing that the two girls were about to change color, Xu Lai hurriedly explained, with a slightly bitter and lonely look on his face: "When the severe pain just came, I already had an understanding in my heart. The next time he comes again, it is very likely that I, Xu Lai, will die."
Speaking of this, Xu Lai stopped, glanced at the Dragon God Prince beside him, and slowly looked around for a moment: "According to the rules, the next time the severe pain comes will not exceed fifteen days at most."
"So, I won't be able to hold on until then."
After Xu Lai finished speaking, he felt relieved in his heart, and all the memories of the past surged towards this moment like a tide. He couldn't help but begin to cling to this beautiful world in his heart.
It's a pity that the two girls themselves could not give them happiness and a name after all, and the human race did not give an explanation in the end, and failed the expectations of Daohuang and others in vain.
"I won't allow you to give up."
Just when Xu Lai was about to lie on his back on the soft grass beside him to enjoy the last wonderful time of his life, he heard an angry voice.
"Do you know how much the human race has paid for you, how much sister Wei'er has sacrificed for you, how many eyes are watching you, hoping that you can cheer up, now we haven't given up, why did you give up first, why don't you say something."
Xu Lai looked up in astonishment, but what he saw was Xue Youyou's angry and charming face. At some point, crystal tears crossed her snow-white skin and dripped onto the grass in front of Xu Lai.
"I'm sorry."
Xu Lai shook his head, but he stood up quickly and smiled at Xue Youyou: "Since no one has given up, then I shouldn't give up. I will go all the way to the end of my life."
Hearing Xu Lai's words, Xue Youyou's pink lips pursed slightly, and finally slowly outlined an arc. The girl instantly changed from a pitiful look of pear blossoms in the rain to a pure fairy who unconsciously revealed a touch of elegant and peaceful smile, which made Xu Lai lose consciousness for a moment.
But he quickly came back to his senses and warned himself at the same time.
Now it is the last part of his life. Although he said that he wanted to finish it without regrets, he could never accept Xue Youyou's feelings. If something happened to him at that time, Xue Youyou would be left alone in the world as a sad girl. Xu Lai naturally couldn't do it.
"So, we have to take another way."
Five minutes later, Xue Youyou explained the situation to Xu Lai and others. It turned out that there was more than one way to go to the elves, and there was another way to take a shortcut.
However, that place has to pass through the life forbidden zone.
It is the life forbidden zone again. When Xue Youyou's pink lips uttered these fourWhen Xu Lai heard the word, his heart seemed to be hit hard.
"What exactly is that place?"
Xu Lai asked Xue Youyou about the doubts in his heart.
Xue Youyou shook her head slowly, and her delicate face was solemn, which Xu Lai had never seen before: "That place, even my grandma doesn't know, but it is said that if you accidentally enter the life restricted area, you will die, so everyone talks about it with fear. At first, I didn't think in this direction. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't do it at all."
So, did Xue Youyou voluntarily risk her life and gamble with herself for that slim chance?
Xu Lai was deeply moved, and his regret for not accepting Xue Youyou was even greater, and a touch of tenderness flashed across his eyes.
"Irrelevant people don't have to take this risk."
Xue Youyou looked at Luo Wei'er and the Dragon God Prince, and the meaning of her words was self-evident.
This trip is basically a 100% chance of survival. The two of them are originally from the sea clan, and there is no need to continue to follow. It is better to return home to avoid losing their lives in vain.
The face of the Dragon God Prince sank, and he was obviously in a state of hesitation and hesitation.
He is the hope of the sea clan now, and he has inherited the new position of the sea god. There is no need to follow Xu Lai to gamble on that slim chance. It is better to go back directly.
"Your Highness."
Xu Lai's voice suddenly reached the ears of the Dragon God Prince. He looked up in surprise, but found that a hazy bead was suddenly thrown out of Xu Lai's hand. He took it quickly and realized that this was the dragon bead he had just given to Xu Lai not long ago.
"Don't go, the dragon bead is back to you. You are the future sea god, and the sea clan cannot live without you."
The Dragon God Prince lowered his head slightly and fell into silence.
After a moment, the other party suddenly raised his head and laughed up to the sky, making Xu Lai look at him like a lunatic.
What’s wrong with you?
