Chapter 817 Fortunately, I have a backup plan
On the way to the light column, Shao Yun and his group used all their strength and rushed there desperately.
However, despite their best efforts, the beam of light disappeared from everyone's sight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that the beam of light was about to disappear, Shao Yun, who was riding on the undead horse, was quickly calculating the time in his mind.
"No, if we keep running like this, we won't make it in time!"
Then his eyes quickly swept over Katsina beside him, and an idea flashed through his mind.
"Kazina, get ready!" Shao Yun suddenly shouted at Kazina.
Upon hearing this, Kazina looked at Shao Yun in surprise, not knowing what he was going to do.
Shao Yun, who was riding on the undead horse, suddenly bent down and grabbed Katsina's clothes on the back.
Katina, who was picked up, stared at Shao Yun with wide eyes and asked in confusion: "What are you going to do? Are you going to throw me over to the light column? Are you sure it's too late?"
Shao Yun answered confidently: "Always believe that four legs can run faster than two legs!"
Before he finished speaking, Shao Yun controlled the undead horse under him, shouted loudly, and increased the speed.
The undead horse let out a sharp neigh, and its four hooves flew, instantly pulling away from Maranie, Chaska and Ianshan, who were riding surfboards, revolver "cannons" and running on their own two legs.
The embodiment of the leading one appeared.
At the moment when the beam of light was about to disappear completely, Shao Yun used all his strength to throw the Kazina in his hand out.
Katsina flew straight towards the disappearing beam of light.
Katsina: Mom, I'm flying.
At the moment before the rift closed, Katsina's hand touched the beam of light.
Then, the beam of light retracted at an astonishing speed, taking Katsina with it and disappearing into the crack, returning to Nata on the ground.
After the light column disappeared, except for Shao Yun, the remaining three people, Malani, Ianshan and Chaska, all felt a physiological fear of death in their hearts.
The disappearance of the light column meant that the group's only connection with the outside world was cut off. They were trapped in the Kingdom of the God of Night, with no chance of survival.
Malani bit her lip hard, trying not to let her fear show.
She suppressed her inner anxiety and said to herself: "Well, at least Katsina got out alive..."
Although this sentence was spoken softly, it seemed particularly clear in this silent environment. It was just cheap comfort to myself.
Shao Yun watched as his rescue target, Kazina, left alone, leaving a group of four people who looked like they were going to be trapped to death in the Kingdom of the Night God.
Fortunately, he had a backup plan. Thanks for the gift, brother-in-law!
But before revealing his back-up plan, he thought of a story.
“Now, a story comes to mind.”
“What do you think, if a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray? Does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to search for the one that is straying?”
“But if he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. So it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.”
Now, Chaska is in an extremely upset mood. After all, people are about to die, and you, Shao Yun, are still so optimistic. Are you scared silly?
The shadow of death is looming, but you are talking about the story of sheep which has nothing to do with life and death at this time, which makes Chaska a little unbearable.
"What the hell are you talking about? We're all going to die here! And you still have the time to talk about sheep!"
Upon seeing this, Malani stepped forward to stop Chaska, fearing that she would fight with Shao Yun.
She quickly persuaded him, "Okay, Chaska, don't get excited. We voluntarily followed Shao Yun to rescue Katsina. This is our own decision."
Malani continued to explain: "Moreover, Mr. Shao Yun's meaning should be that although we may die here, at least Katsina was rescued from the Kingdom of Night God by us, and our sacrifice was not in vain."
"Moreover, Mr. Shao Yun urged us to leave the Kingdom of Night God as soon as we found Katsina, but it was us who asked to help Da Ling, wasn't it?"
"To put it bluntly, it seems like we are the ones who caused all this... But at least Katsina left, didn't she?"
After hearing what Malani said, Chaska realized that her behavior just now was a bit extreme. Indeed, it was they who decided to follow Shao Yun to take the risk.
The current situation cannot be blamed on Shao Yun...
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shao Yun," Chaska's tone softened, "I was too excited. I'm sorry."
Shao Yun seemed very calm and said, "It's okay, I understand how you feel. It's normal for people to feel anxious when they know they are going to die."
"But don't worry, we won't necessarily die here."
Shao Yun knew very well that he would not die here, so he did not pay much attention to Chaska's apology and even had the mood to comfort her.
However, Chaska, Malani and Ianshan all thought that Shao Yun was trying to reassure them.
The Kingdom of the Night God is not a vegetable market. How can you come and go as you please?
Marani looked up at the sky of the Night God Kingdom and said in confusion: "How long can we last in this Night God Kingdom..."
Ianshan was silent for a moment, and after thinking carefully in his mind, he gave a relatively conservative estimate.
"If everything goes well, we can probably hold out in the Kingdom of Night God for about two or three days."
"Once the time exceeds this limit, our bodies will be corroded by the abyss of the Kingdom of Night God."
"Even if we are able to escape, the damage to our bodies is irreversible."
When Chaska heard the answer, he couldn't help but sigh: "Only two or three days? What a pity, I haven't had time to say goodbye to Kuike..."
"I promised her that I would return alive. It seems that I have to break my promise... I hope my mother will not be sad about my death..."
Shao Yun looked at the three people in front of him, who had already calmly accepted their impending death. He wanted to laugh...
He muttered to himself, "So, what on earth are you three doing here?"
Fortunately, he had a backup plan...
Shao Yun took a deep breath and said, "I have a plan. Do you want to hear it?"
However, at this time, Chaska had already become indifferent to life and death, and did not show much interest in Shao Yun's words. He just responded casually:
"Go ahead. What's the plan?"
Shao Yun pointed at the eyes of Chaska and the others, and said solemnly: "Close your eyes, and then hold each other's hands. Don't let go. Finally, I will lead you out of here."
How can I describe Shao Yun's plan? It's just like putting an elephant in a refrigerator. What kind of plan is this?
Chaska didn't know where to start complaining.
"I don't think we have time to play any games. Besides, if you close your eyes, you can take us away from the Kingdom of Night God? Are you kidding me?"
Shao Yun did not explain too much, but simply ordered: "Do it, or you will really die."
Faced with Shao Yun's insistence, Chaska and others really couldn't figure out the rationality of this plan, but they also felt that Shao Yun would not make such a request for no reason.
So, Ianshan, Malani and Chaska looked at each other and started a silent conversation tacitly.
"All right……"
In the end, Malani, Ianshan and Chaska decided to obey Shao Yun's orders.
In such a life-and-death moment, it is much better to have a glimmer of hope than to sit and wait for death.
Moreover, if they just closed their eyes, held each other's hands, and were led by Shao Yun, there wouldn't be much loss.
So, the three of them slowly closed their eyes, clasped each other's hands tightly together, and stood in a row.
Seeing this, Shao Yun took out the "Abyss-Splitting Beast Claw Blade" from his backpack and slashed it across the space in front of him.
At this moment, a portal to the abyss opened with a slight buzzing sound.
(Because the Kingdom of Night God came to the Abyss and established the Abyss Teleportation Point.)
Shao Yun took Marani's hand and said, "Okay, Marani, hold my hand, I will take you out of the Kingdom of the Night God safely."
"Remember, no one is allowed to open their eyes!" Shao Yun emphasized the last point.
Although no one understood why this happened, generally speaking, there was no loss, so they just did it.
Shao Yun led a group of people and walked into the abyss portal one after another.
When their figures completely disappeared in the portal, the portal slowly closed with a low roar.
After a short yet long journey through darkness, the group finally walked out of the Kingdom of the Night God.
As for the undead horse, after Shao Yun left, it became an ownerless thing and continued to wander in the Kingdom of Night God...
……
Location: The deserted outskirts of the Holy Flame Arena.
Shao Yun stood at the exit of the portal. After confirming that the Abyss Portal had been completely closed without leaving any trace, he turned to Chaska and his group and said:
"Okay, you can open your eyes now."
After opening their eyes, Ianshan, Malani and Chaska felt the familiar afterglow of the sunset. Not far away was the Holy Flame Arena that they were all too familiar with.
All of this made them feel like they were dreaming. Was it an illusion created by the Smoke Master? Was it true?
Chaska widened his eyes, looked at Shao Yun suspiciously, and asked stutteringly: "Wait a minute, Mr. Shao Yun, how...how did we get out?"
Of course, Shao Yun could not reveal that he had used the Abyss Portal, because if he did so, he would become a wanted man in all of Nata in the next second and be driven out of the country.
Then Wendy will go crazy and hurt her wife and children, and then she and her brother-in-law will also go crazy, and then it will explode!
So, he made up a story: "I don't know either. Maybe it was the Great Spirit who sent us out."
However, before Chaska could open his mouth to refute, Ianshan had already raised the question.
"Mr. Shao Yun, even Katsina won't believe what you said."
Malani also nodded quickly, agreeing with Ianshan's point of view, and then asked: "Yes, Shao Yun, how did you get us out of the Kingdom of Night God?"
"Yes, is this the backup plan left by Lord Kagami? Or is it Grandma's method?"
Faced with these three girls who were asking questions, Shao Yun didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He secretly groaned in his heart, wondering what to do. He couldn't tell them the truth.
So, he suddenly had an idea and changed the subject, pointing to the Holy Fire Arena not far away and said, "I think you should hurry to the Talk Office and meet the God of Fire."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what expressions Mavica, Sitrali, and Katsina will have when they see you suddenly appear."
Malani was surprised to see that Shao Yun did not want to go to the meeting place to see the God of Fire "Mavica", and asked in confusion: "What about you, Mr. Shao Yun?"
