Chapter 118 – Temple of the Five Internal Organs 8
Before Lian Qiao could react, there was a sudden pain from his back!
“Wooo!” He was in so much pain that he was forced into tears. He felt that his whole body was broken and that it was so painful that he couldn’t move.
His chest and back were particularly painful and it’s unknown how many ribs he broke… However, the crucial neck and back of the head don’t appear to be injured?
Lian Qiao moved his neck and was surprised to find that he hadn’t broken his spine. He was astonished when he heard a rattle like the grinding of teeth. He suddenly realized that he had an arm under his neck and also on the back of his head.
Lian Qiao exclaimed: “RenDong!”
“Don’t–” even his voice trembled, “Don’t move! There is sand all around!”
Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the touch under his body was not quite right.
It was too soft. No wonder how they fell down at such a fast speed without being torn apart. It turned out that the soft sand buffered the force. Coupled with the knife in the middle that blocked the fall, they ended up with mere fractures.
Even in these few seconds, Lian Qiao could feel that they were sinking slowly in the sand. His ears were full of rustling sounds, as if sand had flowed into them. Lian Qiao couldn’t help shivering, and subconsciously lowered his voice and asked, “Are you okay? Can you move?”
Xu RenDong took a deep breath: “…Yes.”
He carefully moved his body and got off Lian Qiao. Lian Qiao’s blocked vision finally returned to normal, allowing him to observe the surrounding environment.
He saw the yellow sand all around. A dim sun hung in the sky, almost connecting with the yellow sand. The end of this desert cannot be seen but there was the faint shadow of the city in the distance, however it’s unknown if it was a mirage or not.
“Don’t worry, take your time.” Lian Qiao lay down flat in the sand, minimizing the ups and downs of his chest. The fall just now had caused most of him to sink into the sand. At this time, the sand had already covered his earlobe and was almost pouring into the ear hole. His ears were so itchy that he was going crazy but he didn’t dare to reach out and scratch them.
If he acts rashly, it’s not just ears, all the holes in his body that can be entered might become firmly filled.
Xu RenDong also tried to slow down his sinking. However, the sand was too delicate and, after finally getting off Lian Qiao, Xu RenDong’s instep sank into the sand.
He couldn’t exert himself in the sand and he always felt like he was sinking. His arms were dislocated again and he couldn’t keep his balance at all. He simply gave up on himself and stood upright in the sand like a club.
Lian Qiao looked at it and laughed: “Why are you so nervous? Just relax a little and keep your balance.”
Xu RenDong lowered his arms helplessly and the two dislocated arms swayed to and fro, as if saying: What else can I do?
Lian Qiao knew that a dislocation was far more painful than a broken bone. If it’s a broken bone, it’s broken and it won’t hurt if you don’t touch it. Dislocation is different. The dislocated joint is like a fried chicken, screaming wildly while pecking: pain pain pain! Reset me now!
It would force you to want to deal with the injury quickly. Don’t look at how nonchalant RenDong looks with two dislocated arms, maybe his teeth are about to be bitten off.
He’s an idiot when it comes to getting hurt. He don’t know how to avoid it and he doesn’t know how to cry when he’s hurt. If you want to help him, he will wave his hand and say that he’s fine, that it’s all good, that he can get a little bit more injured.
Look, now he can’t even hold my hand.
ian Qiao got up from the sand while holding back a smile. His movements were slow, but so gentle that the quicksand seemed to have no effect on him.
He stood firm on the sand surface, took a deep breath, and came over to reset Xu RenDong.
With just a few clicks, the dislocated bone returned to the joint cavity. Xu RenDong breathed a sigh of relief and his expression relaxed. After all, there was Lian Qiao Dang’s back just now. Although he had gotten a shock and his internal organs hurt, his only real injury was only a dislocation.
Lian Qiao looked around, pointed not far away and said, “Go over there first.”
u RenDong followed his gaze and saw a circular pipe extending diagonally from the sand to the sky, like a closed slide. It’s just that this slide is too long and too high and the other end is hidden in the yellow sand, which appeared shocking.
He couldn’t help but exclaim: “So high and we didn’t die!”
Lian Qiao: “Almost but not quite. Does your arm still hurt?”
Xu RenDong shook his head, indicating that he was fine. Lian Qiao was worried and came over to confirm his injury. As soon as his hand was raised, he bared his teeth with a “hiss” and his entire person froze, not daring to move.
Xu RenDong was shocked: “You…”
“It’s okay.” Lian Qiao waved his hand hurriedly, but smiled reluctantly, “I just broke a few bones… er, it’s not necessarily broken, it may be a bone fracture. That’s it.”
In order to reassure Xu RenDong, he deliberately moved his limbs: “Look, it’s fine, I can still move.”
“…” Xu RenDong was silent.
They fell from the slide just now, and at such a fast speed, even with a buffer, they couldn’t escape unscathed. Lian Qiao made himself into a meat pad and naturally bore the brunt of it.
The force of the fall was so great that the injury Lian Qiao suffered was obviously not something that could be summed up in a light-hearted sentence “a few broken bones”.
How badly was he injured?
… do you want to do it all over again?
Stepping into that dark forest again… Falling from the sky again…
Xu RenDong bit his lip and remained silent. Lian Qiao thought he felt guilty, so he came over and hugged him and said, “Don’t blame yourself, you can’t do anything about it. Someone has to be at the bottom, either you or me. Fortunately, I’m rough and fleshy, if it was you… …”
When he said this, he hugged him tightly as if he was afraid and said aggrievedly: “No, my heart hurts to death just thinking about it. So please don’t make me out to be the scapegoat.”
Lian Qiao was ignorant but he happened to poke at Xu RenDong’s sore spot. He was stunned and his eyes flashed with extremely complicated emotions.
He opened his mouth to say something but he couldn’t say anything. He just silently stretched out his hand and hugged him back.
Lian Qiao put his head on his shoulder, enjoying this sweet and warm hug but he did not notice that Xu RenDong’s lips trembled slightly. His eyes were red and he was about to cry.
Suddenly, there was a banging noise above the two of them.
The two immediately separated and looked up together. Xu RenDong took this opportunity to rub his eyes quietly.
They heard the banging noise getting closer and closer, and there was a faint feeling of vibration from the pipeline. He looks like something is falling down. When it was close to the ground, the end of the slide made a very gentle arc and the clanging sound became dull.
After some collision, a humanoid object flew out from the mouth of the pipe. Because of this section of the curve, this unfortunate man was almost parallel to the ground when he flew out. He was like a big stupid bird who failed to make an emergency landing, gliding all the way and sinking all the way into the sand. When he finally stopped, most of his body had sunk into the sand and his mouth kept spitting out, “bah bah bah bah”, apparently gnawing on a mouthful of sand.
RenDong and Lian Qiao looked at each other. It seems that they just rolled down like this.
It was very ugly. Fortunately no one saw it.
The unlucky man was frightened to death by the slide and suddenly fell into quicksand again. Suddenly, his entire body was not well and he slapped the sand noodles like a chicken in soup. It’s okay if he doesn’t struggle but struggling makes him sink very quickly.
Seeing that he was about to drown in the sand, Lian Qiao hurriedly threw the backpack in front of the hapless man and shouted, “Grab the bag! Don’t move! Grab the bag and slowly climb out!”
The backpack was like a piece of driftwood. The hapless man had an overjoyed expression and hurriedly grabbed it. Fortunately, the cross-sectional area of the backpack is very large and it can fully support the weight of an adult on the sand. So the hapless man crawled out tremblingly.
Although the sand is soft, it is not so easy to sink once a balance is found.
The hapless man walked cautiously this way. Xu RenDong and Lian Qiao’s eyes swept across him quickly, confirming that there was no place to hide weapons on his body and he should be a unfortunate figure who posed no threat.
Everyone gave each other their names. The unlucky person can be called ‘Unlucky Guy’ and appeared, at first glance, as a passerby who will die soon. So the three continued to discuss things around the slide.
Turns out the unlucky guy wasn’t actually too unlucky He made a mistake in the dark forest and, every time he encountered a murderous vine, someone else happened to nearby to block the killing blow. Even in the fire scene, he always happened to run into a ghost killing someone and he just took advantage of the chaos to escape. By the time he found the fire escape, the brick red door on the ground floor had already opened. So there was basically no injury along the way except for eating sand when he flew out of the slide.
“Wait.” Lian Qiao interrupted him, “You said you still found an explosion-proof shield in the shopping mall?”
The unlucky guy shrank: “Yes… I think that although the shield can’t prevent ghosts, it is always feels comforting and reassuring in my heart when I hold it in my hand…”
Lian Qiao’s expression changed: “Where’s the shield now?”
Before he could finish his sentence, there was a sudden clanging sound from the top of the three of them. Everyone looked up and saw that the long and straight pipe vibrated slightly, as if someone had fallen down in a rampage.
A look of anticipation flashed across the unlucky guy’s face. RenDong and Lian Qiao looked at each other, but their faces were not good.
Sure enough, the next second, a strange dull sound suddenly came out of the pipe. The voice was hard to describe but it was inexplicably creepy. The sound then split into two, dong dong dong, banging noises and soon reached the three of them.
Crack.”
A thigh flew out.
Immediately afterwards, an incomplete man rushed out of the pipe with splashing blood and slid far away in the quicksand along the last gentle slope of the slide.
The faces of the three of them turned pale in an instant.
The man was obviously dead. After falling into the quicksand, he remained motionless, only the blood gurgled and seeped into the sand, dyeing a large area of red.
The distance between the dead body and his thigh was about ten meters and it was inserted into the sand in such a major way. The picture was extremely cruel.
Xu RenDong and Lian Qiao looked at each other and frowned. The unlucky guy was dumbfounded, grabbed his head and said, “Hey, why is this person… how did he break?”
Xu RenDong: “…?”
Lian Qiao: “???” You seriously don’t know?
The two looked at the hapless man in shock. The unlucky guy hadn’t reacted yet and asked suspiciously, “What are you all looking at me for?”
At the same time, a familiar sound suddenly came from above the three of them.
Bang bang bang bang!
Someone else was falling.
At a slightly lower position than before, the sound split into two halves again. Then, another split person flew out of the slide.
This time, in addition to the two corpses, there was also an explosion-proof shield. The shield has sharp edges and the transparent shield body has long been dyed blood red, with a ring of minced meat hanging around it.
This time, the dumb as the unlucky guy was, he also understood. The shield was stuck straight in the middle of the slide {as in he’d used it to break his fall and obviously left it stuck inside the slide}. The man above fell down at a high speed and was cut in half by the shield.
The principle was very simple but the scene was too miserable. The three of them stared at the broken corpse on the ground and they were all shocked and speechless.
