Myriad Realms Exchange Machine

Chapter 434 Tears
Li Yu led the crowd to move on, but the deeper they went, the underground pit gradually became narrower, and the path available for walking was gradually submerged by the current of the underground river.

They had to step into the water of the dark river before they could move on.

"Hiss. This water is so fucking cold!" Ah Hong took a breath and said.

The cold underground river was neither deep nor fast, just enough to reach Li Yu's knees.At the back of the team, Neville had already picked up Li Lei with one hand.

"Li Yu, are you okay?" Huang Meili said weakly.

She heard A Hong crying out, so she stared at the deep passage ahead and the calm flowing river.

At this moment, every word she said to Li Yu was filled with deep worry.

"Don't worry! We can definitely go out!" Li Yu encouraged with confidence.

At this time, the emergency light behind him suddenly dimmed, and after flashing for a while, it finally went out completely.

"The battery is out." Li Lei said dejectedly, shaking the flashlight.

"Then throw it away. It's okay, I can see it." Li Yu said with a sigh.

Li Yu lied. Although his senses had been mutated and strengthened, when the light of the flashlight went out, the world fell into complete darkness in an instant.

No matter how wide his eyes were, he still couldn't see anything.

Li Lei was held in Neville's arms, and his eyes were also wide open.His perception has also undergone a mutation, even higher than that of Neville, but he still can't see anything.

Knowing that what Li Yu said was a lie, Li Lei just smiled slightly without saying a word.

In this extremely dark world, everyone continued to move forward.

No one spoke anymore, and Li Yu could only hear everyone's legs stirring the river water, everyone's cold breathing, and the sound of teeth chattering.

"Put me down! You won't be able to bear it!" Li Lei suddenly said from behind the team.

Li Lei has been held in Nivell's arms since he stepped into the river, with almost no physical exertion.Nivel was already injured, and he had been walking in the cold underground river, which exerted a huge amount of physical energy.

However, Neville didn't answer anything, his teeth were chattering uncontrollably, and his tongue was too straight to curl.He just tightened the arm around Li Lei as his stubborn refusal.

Li Yu listened to the voice behind the team, his eyes were fixed on the empty darkness ahead, and his footsteps moved mechanically in the cold dark river.

"How long have we been walking?" Li Yu thought.

When did he start counting, and when did he stop counting?Why hasn’t this road come to an end yet?Are there other forks in this passage?What to do if things go astray?
Irritability and panic grew in his heart like poisonous weeds.

What if the way of heaven points in the wrong direction?Isn't that like leading everyone to a dead end?If he dies trapped here, what will his daughter do?
A cold hand suddenly pinched Li Yu's arm, waking him up from his wild thoughts.

"You, yes, your breathing is messed up." Ah Hong said softly with a trembling voice.

"I, believe, you! Definitely, you can take us out!" Ah Hong continued.

Hearing Ah Hong's voice, Li Yu shook his head, throwing all distracting thoughts out of his mind.There is only one belief left in his heart - I will definitely be able to get out!Bring everyone along!
"Yeah!" Li Yu replied.

The boundless darkness continued to envelope everyone, and the trek in this extremely dark world continued.

Everyone's footsteps became slower and slower, more and more staggering.In addition to taking away the energy and temperature of the human body, cold and darkness have also begun to gradually take away human perception of the outside world.

Neville, who was at the end of the line, finally couldn't hold Li Lei. His body gradually became stiff, and he couldn't even bend down.

Li Lei fell into the dark river. The icy water made him shiver, but he tried his best not to make any sound. He just turned around and held Neville's hand, and continued on his way.

Ah Hong's physical strength gradually reached its limit. She even pulled out her beloved long sword and used it as a crutch to support the ground, so she could barely move forward.

With a "plop", Li Yu heard Li Lei's shout from behind.

Neville fell to his knees in the icy river, his physical strength had reached its limit and he could no longer walk.

"You guys, go first, don't...don't worry about me." Neville said.

Li Lei took his hand, desperately trying to pull him up, but with his child's body, how could he be able to lift a tall man of 1.8 meters.

The team stopped, and Li Yu groped along the sound.He touched Neville's steamy hair, and then touched a cold face.

"Let's go out together!" Li Yu gritted his teeth and said.

He opened Nivell's mouth, and then tore his wrist apart with his teeth. Hot blood poured out, flowed into Nivell's mouth, followed his esophagus, and flowed into his stomach.

Neville's cold body struggled in vain.But the lack of physical strength prevented him from breaking free from Li Yu's restraint.

Li Yu's wound healed quickly, and he tore it open with his teeth again and again, until he felt that the other's face was warming up, and then he let it go.

"Go." Li Yu took Neville's hand, pulled him up, and said.

Something hot dripped onto the back of Li Yu's hand, and Li Yu froze for a moment before realizing that it was Neville's tears.He didn't cry out, only tears rolled down in big drops.

Li Yu returned to his original position without saying a word, and the team continued to move forward.

At this time, Huang Meili's voice, who had been silent until now, reached Li Yu's ears.

"Li Yu, thank you." Huang Meili's voice was still weak, but it was clearer than other people who had been standing in the dark river wading.

Li Yu asked what to say, but Huang Meili's hand reached out from behind and pressed on his lips.

"Don't say anything, save your energy. Just listen to me." Huang Meili said.

"Really, thank you for not fulfilling your promise with me."

"I asked you to leave me alone and let you go...but I was actually very scared, you know. I was afraid of being thrown into that cave alone, and I was afraid of dying there alone."

Huang Meili spoke very softly, but this dark underground pit was so silent that everyone could hear every word she said.

Another drop of hot water fell on Li Yu's shoulder - those were Huang Meili's tears.

"Thank you, Li Yu...Thank you...I actually, really, don't want to die."

After saying this, Huang Meili fell on Li Yu's shoulder, lowered her voice, and began to cry.

Huang Meili's emotions infected everyone, and even A Hong's breathing was mixed with short sobs.

But Li Yu's expression was only solemn. He moved his calf, which had already lost consciousness, and walked mechanically without the slightest pause.

When Huang Meili's crying gradually stopped, a breeze finally touched Li Yu's face gently.

The wind is blowing, and time begins to flow.

Li Yu dragged the crowd and walked forward quickly.

The dark world was gradually left behind them, and the thin sunlight stung their wide-open eyes.

The underground river passes through the mountain, flows out of a huge stone crevice, and turns into a small waterfall.

"We. Came out."
