I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 141: Survival in Desperate Situation, Undying Faith

Ren Xiaoyao's words were like a huge rock dropped on everyone's heart, stirring up a thousand waves. Everyone's face was filled with worry and fear, but they also understood that this was their only hope.

"Xiaoyao, your current physical condition..." Xia Lin looked at Ren Xiaoyao worriedly, her words full of reluctance and worry.

"I'm fine," Ren Xiaoyao interrupted her, his eyes revealing a determined light, "I will definitely survive!"

Pharmacist Li looked at Ren Xiaoyao deeply and said in a deep voice, "Alright! In that case, let's fight to the death!"

So, the group embarked on a journey to the depths of the ruins.

The ruins were dark and damp deep inside, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of decay. The walls on both sides of the narrow passage were engraved with ancient texts and patterns, exuding a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

"Everyone, be careful," Master Mo walked in front, holding a dim oil lamp in his hand and carefully observing the surroundings. "There are traps and mechanisms everywhere here. If you are not careful, you will lose your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pharmacist Li, who was walking at the end of the team, suddenly cried out in surprise. The stone slab under his feet suddenly turned over, revealing a pitch-black hole.

"Be careful!" Ren Xiaoyao was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed Pharmacist Li's arm and pulled him back from the cave entrance.

"That was a close call!" Pharmacist Li was still in shock, his face pale, and his back soaked with cold sweat.

"Everyone, be vigilant!" Ren Xiaoyao reminded in a deep voice.

They continued forward, taking each step carefully. From time to time, strange creatures would appear on the walls on both sides of the passage. They had sharp claws and made creepy noises, but they were all repelled by Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin.

As time passed, the curse on Ren Xiaoyao became more and more serious. His face became paler and his breathing became more and more rapid, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, because he always had a belief in his heart, that is, to survive, for himself and for Xia Lin.

"Xiaoyao, how are you?" Xia Lin looked at Ren Xiaoyao who was getting weaker and weaker, her heart filled with worry and heartache.

"I'm fine, let's keep going." Ren Xiaoyao suppressed his physical discomfort and forced a smile.

At this moment, Master Mo, who was walking in front, suddenly cried out in surprise: "Oh no! There's..."

He hadn't finished his words when a loud boom was heard. The roof of the passage suddenly collapsed, completely blocking their path. Boulders rolled down, dust filled the air, and the entire passage was plunged into darkness and chaos. At the moment of the loud bang, Ren Xiaoyao instinctively shielded Xia Lin with his body, shielding it from the impact of the falling rocks.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Ren Xiaoyao struggled to get up. The dust made him cough violently, and his chest ached. He ignored his own injuries and asked anxiously, "Xia Lin, are you okay?"

"I... I'm fine..." Xia Lin's voice was a little weak. She tried to stand up, but let out a painful groan.

Ren Xiaoyao's heart tightened. In the dim light, he saw that Xia Lin's ankle had been hit by a fallen rock, and blood had stained her trouser leg. "Damn it!" He cursed, quickly tearing off the corner of his shirt and bandaging Xia Lin's wound.

"We have to get out of here as soon as possible!" Master Mo's voice came from the front, with a hint of panic, "This passage has collapsed, we are trapped!"

Pharmacist Li's voice was also filled with fear: "What should we do? Will we be buried alive here?"

Ren Xiaoyao endured the excruciating pain and calmly analyzed the situation. Time was running out; he had to find a way out quickly, or everyone would perish. He looked around and noticed that the wall on the right side of the passage seemed a little loose, perhaps offering a way out.

"Master Mo, Pharmacist Li, please take care of Xia Lin for me. I'll go over there and take a look!" Ren Xiaoyao pointed to the wall on the right with a firm tone.

Master Mo and Pharmacist Li also knew that now was not the time to argue. They worked together to help Xia Lin to the side and watched worriedly as Ren Xiaoyao's figure disappeared into the darkness.

Time passed, and Ren Xiaoyao still hadn't returned. Xia Lin's heart was filled with worry and fear. Her face was pale, and her lips trembled slightly. "Master Mo, will Xiaoyao...will he..."

"No, Xiaoyao is a lucky man. He will be fine!" Master Mo comforted Xia Lin, but there was a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from deep in the passage. It was the voice of Pharmacist Li: "Master Mo, look over there!"

Master Mo looked in the direction of Pharmacist Li's finger, his face suddenly turning pale. At the end of the passage, a huge deep pit suddenly appeared before his eyes. Master Mo and Pharmacist Li were standing at the edge of the deep pit...

Ren Xiaoyao's figure stumbled out from the darkness. His face was pale and his clothes were covered with dust and blood. It was obvious that he had been through a tough fight.

"Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin finally felt relieved to see him return safely, but when she saw Ren Xiaoyao's injuries, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

"I'm fine. I was just hit by a falling rock. It's nothing serious." Ren Xiaoyao forced a smile and comforted Xia Lin. He didn't have time to explain further and quickly walked to the edge of the deep pit to check on Master Mo and Pharmacist Li.

The pit was bottomless and pitch black, with only a faint light shining from above, making it impossible to see what was inside.

"Master Mo! Pharmacist Li! How are you?" Ren Xiaoyao shouted loudly towards the deep pit, his voice echoing in the empty passage.

"Xiaoyao, it's us, we're here!" Master Mo's voice rang out from the deep pit, with a hint of surprise and a hint of trembling. "We're trapped on a protruding rock. It's too dark here, and we can't see a way out."

"Don't worry, I'm here to save you!" Ren Xiaoyao observed the surrounding environment and found a thick vine hanging down next to the deep pit. He tried to pull it. The vine was very strong and should be able to bear the weight of a person.

"Master Mo, Pharmacist Li, hold on to the vines tightly, I will pull you up!" Ren Xiaoyao threw the vine down, then grabbed the other end tightly and pulled it up with all his strength.

Master Mo and Pharmacist Li held on to the vines tightly, and Ren Xiaoyao used all his strength and finally pulled them up one by one.

"Phew...it was so thrilling!" Pharmacist Li collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, and said with lingering fear, "Luckily you arrived in time, Xiaoyao, otherwise we..."

"Yes, this time it's all thanks to Xiaoyao, otherwise we would all have died here." Master Mo said with lingering fear, looking at Ren Xiaoyao with eyes full of gratitude.

"I'm glad everyone's alright." Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand, signaling them not to worry. Although he had saved Master Mo and Pharmacist Li, he had also expended considerable energy moving fallen rocks and climbing, and by this point, he was exhausted.

"Xiaoyao, your injury..." Xia Lin looked at Ren Xiaoyao with heartache. His face was paler than before, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"I'm fine, I just need to rest for a while." Ren Xiaoyao endured the discomfort in his body. He knew that now was not the time to rest. They had to find the herbs as soon as possible and leave this dangerous place.

"Let's go, the herbs are not far ahead." Master Mo pointed to a stone chamber not far ahead and said, his tone full of hope.

However, just as they were about to enter the stone chamber, a powerful pressure suddenly descended, pinning them to the spot, making them unable to move.

"Oh no, it's the guardian beast!" Master Mo's face changed drastically and he exclaimed in surprise.

A giant beast of enormous size slowly walked out of the stone chamber. Its eyes were like copper bells, flashing with a fierce light, and its whole body exuded a suffocating pressure.

Ren Xiaoyao struggled to raise his head and looked at the behemoth before him. He knew that a fierce battle was inevitable...

The beast's mountainous body shifted, causing a tremor to shake the ground. Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, struggling to resist the suffocating pressure. He knew this was a matter of life and death, and only a desperate fight would offer a glimmer of hope.

"Roar!" The beast let out a deafening roar, brandishing its massive claws and slapping Ren Xiaoyao on the head. Ren Xiaoyao dodged the blow narrowly, leaving deep grooves in the ground with his claws.

The battle was about to begin, and Ren Xiaoyao, relying on his nimble movements and fierce attacks, fought the beast. The long sword in his hand turned into a series of cold rays, continuously attacking the beast's vital points. However, the beast's skin was thick and tough, and Ren Xiaoyao's attacks could only leave shallow scars, unable to cause any fatal damage.

As time went on, Ren Xiaoyao's physical strength and true energy gradually depleted, and his movements began to slow down. The giant beast seized the opportunity and slapped Ren Xiaoyao's chest with one claw, knocking him away.

"Puff!" Ren Xiaoyao spat out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground. His vision went dark, but he still struggled to stand up, his eyes full of unyielding will.

"Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin shouted anxiously. Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao was about to collapse, her heart was filled with worry and anxiety.

"Don't come over here, this is my battle!" Ren Xiaoyao roared, stopping Xia Lin from rushing over. He knew that with Xia Lin's strength, facing this giant beast, she had no chance of winning and would only die in vain.

"No, let's fight together!" Xia Lin said firmly. Her eyes swept over the materials scattered around, and a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.

Charlene quickly pulled various materials from her backpack and began crafting a special weapon. Her movements were skillful and swift, as if she were performing a sacred ritual.

The giant beast attacked Ren Xiaoyao again. Ren Xiaoyao was no longer able to dodge and could only watch the giant beast's sharp claws coming towards him.

At this critical moment, Xia Lin shouted, "Xiaoyao, go on!"

A ball emitting strange light was thrown into the air by Xia Lin. Ren Xiaoyao subconsciously reached out to catch it. A powerful energy instantly surged into his body, and his tired body seemed to be filled with strength again.

"What is this?" Ren Xiaoyao asked in surprise.

"This is an energy bomb I made based on ancient records using unique materials from the ruins. It should be able to cause some damage to the giant beast." Xia Lin explained.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded, and without any hesitation, threw the energy bomb in his hand towards the giant beast.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the energy bomb exploded on the giant beast's body, emitting dazzling light and a powerful shock wave, shaking the entire ruins.

When the smoke cleared, the huge body of the beast fell to the ground with a loud bang, letting out an unwilling wail.

Ren Xiaoyao endured the severe pain in his body, walked to the giant beast's corpse, and found the target of their trip - a strange herb emitting a bright green light growing in the giant beast's lair.

"We succeeded!" A relieved smile appeared on Ren Xiaoyao's face.

They took the herb and left the dangerous ruins, returning to the surface. Pharmacist Li saw their safe return, and especially the herb, his hands trembled with excitement as he quickly began to prepare the antidote...
