Chapter 462: Extraordinary Bedevilment, Escape (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the next few days, Su Yun and Chen Jie got along better and better.

When Su Yun focused all his energy on training, Chen Jie would quietly do what she could.

According to Chen Jie’s speculation, the reason why such an underground canyon was formed meant that there should have been a large-scale crustal movement in this generation a long time ago.

It was even very likely that there had once been a volcano here. After the crust moved, the volcano sank underground to form this canyon terrain. Otherwise, the soil here would not have such abundant minerals.

As far as the eye could see, most of the plants in this forest could not be named. This should be considered a relatively well-preserved living fossil. Over the past few days, Chen Jie had been in and out of the forest frequently. She had picked almost all the edible fruits.

However, looking at the fruits in front of her, Chen Jie would also be worried. Even if they ate compressed food with these fruits, it could not last long judging from the current amount of food.

Therefore, Chen Jie could only place her hopes on Su Yun. After all, Su Yun had always said that the reason why he did these training every day was to work hard to get the two of them to leave this place.

Although Chen Jie could not see through the relation between Su Yun’s swing of the saber and their leaving of this place, she had never asked Su Yun anything because of this.

Chen Jie still had high hopes of leaving this place because of her trust in Su Yun. Therefore, in her free time, she would also collect some of the surrounding soil. She planned to take it out and analyze the minerals in the soil. She might make some important discoveries.

Every time Su Yun finished a day of training, Chen Jie would help Su Yun wash his sweat-soaked clothes by the water. Then, she seriously hung it beside the bonfire. Putting aside their current situation, Su Yun and Chen Jie were like a young couple far away from the hustle and bustle of the secular world.

However, this beautiful scene did not last long. Su Yun and Chen Jie encountered an unprecedented challenge.

As time passed bit by bit, without the concept of time, the two of them could not figure out how long they had been trapped here.

From the beginning, Chen Jie was filled with hope to leave this place. Now, she was starting to despair. Especially after the wounds on Chen Jie and Su Yun’s bodies began to worsen to varying degrees without proper treatment.

The torture of illness was also disintegrating their will bit by bit. Even though the two of them had been trying their best to prolong their survival, that day still came. When the last piece of compressed biscuit was completely finished, Chen Jie looked at Su Yun hopelessly and shook her head solemnly.

Su Yun’s lips were pale, and his eyes were slightly unfocused. He had lost his usual spirit. In order not to let the day of food shortage come too early, Su Yun and Chen Jie ate as much fruit as possible for a long time, leaving the compressed biscuits for each other. Even so, the day of leaving this place was far away. This day still came.

Chen Jie had already picked almost all the recognizable fruits. She could not take the risk to try the remaining two. Otherwise, this would undoubtedly advance the process of death.

Su Yun was holding an unknown fruit in his hand. He placed it in his mouth and chewed it, but it was still tasteless. The gauze on his arm had already been dyed red by the pus and blood flowing out of the worsening wound, but the two of them really did not have any extra gauze to change.

The pain brought about by the friction and hardening of the gauze at the wound kept tormenting Su Yun, but from the beginning to the end, he did not mention a word. He knew that Chen Jie had already begun to despair. Even he had begun to feel a little pessimistic.

Struggling to stand up, Su Yun walked towards the training area step by step.

This was his only hope and the only reason why he had not given up until now.

Chen Jie leaned against the ancient tree with a pale face. Her originally fair skin was still pink, but it was no longer bloodless. Having lost the concept of time, the two of them did not know how much time had passed in the outside world.

However, it was precisely because of this that the two of them seemed to have fallen into an eternal predicament. There were no changes in the day, no traces of time. There was only eternal darkness and an increasingly dangerous situation.

Today, the two of them were completely out of food. As the wound had not been treated for a long time and had been in a damp and dreary environment, the wounds on Chen Jie and Su Yun’s bodies had worsened to varying degrees.

This situation had already lasted for many days. In this situation where there was no food, Chen Jie felt even more despair. Her vision was a little blurry, and she could only see the outline of Su Yun in the distance.

As usual, he slashed through the air and did boring training that looked unchanged. A few hours later, the exhausted Su Yun ended his training. Today’s training still did not bring him any progress. Moreover, as the wound worsened, it also hindered his cultivation of the saber technique.

Chen Jie spent a lot of effort lighting the bonfire. After many days, the two of them finally sat side by side. Other than eating the last piece of hardtack and fruit after waking up in the morning, the two of them had not eaten for a few hours..
