Volume 7: Frost Chapter 43 Black Skin

Noticing Jiang Mo's actions, Tang Butian also turned around.

She heard some noises, and then fine sand and gravel fell from the top of the tunnel not far away.

Jiang You also turned around, and the light from his headlamp swept across the rock wall. He took a few steps forward and looked towards where the sand and rocks fell.

The light illuminated the texture of the rock surface.

Rustle, rustle.

Some sand and gravel fell not far away.

There was something on it. Tang Butian was about to raise her hand when she saw a transparent spider silk swinging past from the corner of her eye.

Bang!

A dull thumping sound came from above.

Then, she saw a figure appear on the rock wall. The figure rolled left and right, as if struggling. More and more sand and rocks fell, and the figure's struggle became less and less.

Jiang Mo shook his finger.

Sand and stones fell down.

Bang!

One fell to the ground.

The light from the headlights fell on him.

It was a man with dark skin, who looked young, wearing a ginger robe and barefoot. His body was curled up very unnaturally, and if you looked closely, you could see the spider silk tightly wrapped around him.

Jiang You walked over to the dark-skinned man, squatted down, and asked, "Who are you?"

The man raised his head with great effort. He looked at Jiang You, then looked at Jiang Mo and Tang Butian with great effort.

Jiang You took a step forward, blocking Hei Pi's sight, "Let me ask you, what do you want to do by following us?"

Heipi's eyes flickered, and he spoke, "I didn't follow you."

"Then why are you here?"

Heipi said: "I have been here all the time."

"Is it?"

Hei Pi looked at Jiang You angrily and said, "This is my place, and you broke in."

"Your place? You're the one who dragged us in here?" Jiang You stood up and kicked Hei Pi. "Tell me, how do we get out?"

"It's not me, it's you who triggered the ban." Heipi said.

Jiang You kicked him again, "What restriction?"

"Don't you know where this place is?" Heipi asked back.

"Where?" Jiang You asked.

Heipi tilted his head to look in the direction of the door. After a moment of silence, he said, "Open this door and you can go out."

"How to open it?" Jiang You asked.

Heipi kept silent.

Jiang You kicked him a few more times, but he still didn't speak.

Jiang You stepped on his chest and said, "Brother, if you don't say anything, I will be rude."

"You can't leave." said Heipi.

Jiang You felt a little tired, so he turned to Jiang Mo and said, "You ask, I'll take a break."

Jiang Mo tilted his head.

Heipi tried hard to move a little further out.

At this moment, he was suddenly lifted up, and when his body was about to hit the rock wall above, he heard Jiang You say, "Don't make too much noise."

Jiang You walked back to the door and kicked it, shaking off some of the frost on the door.

He kicked several more times.

Heipi's voice came from behind him, "You can't open this door."

Ginger made a circle with his fingers.

Heipi's mouth was sealed by spider silk and he flew up.

"It's too cold here." Jiang You rubbed his hands, squatted down, took out the alcohol stove from his backpack, set it up, poured some alcohol into it, and lit it.

Unscrew a bottle of mineral water and pour it into a small kettle, then put the kettle on the stove to boil.

Finally he took out three disposable cups and sprinkled some tea leaves in them.

While waiting for the water to boil, he enjoyed the performance of Hei Pi for a while. Sometimes he turned into a carousel, and sometimes he turned into a pirate ship.

"Is he a monster?" Tang Butian asked.

"Probably," Jiang You took a step back and sat on the ground, "It's so ugly, it must have hurt a lot of people, it's a bad monster."

Heipi heard their conversation. He tried to open his mouth and speak, but no sound came out.

Jiang Mo tilted his head and looked at him.

The spider silk wrapped around Heipi tightened a little more.

Jiang You took off his headlamp and put it aside, then he looked at Hei Pi.

Heipi fell to the ground again.

"Are you willing to tell it?" Jiang You asked.

Heipi nodded.

The next moment, Hei Pi was dragged in front of Jiang You, and the spider silk that sealed his mouth disappeared.

The water boiled. Jiang You poured the water from the kettle into a cup and handed one to Tang Butian. Then he held the cup of water in one hand, walked to Hei Pi and squatted down. He handed the water to Hei Pi and said, "Have some hot tea."

Heipi glanced at Jiang You.

He felt the spider silk wrapped around his body loosen.

"Don't even think about running away." Jiang You said.

Hei Pi sat up with difficulty and took the cup from Jiang You. His hands were shaking and some water spilled out, falling on his hands and the ground.

Jiang You watched Hei Pi take a sip of water, then he took a sip as well. He asked, "Tell me, how can we get out of here?"

"Are you really not here for the thing inside the door?" Hei Pi asked.

Jiang You sat down cross-legged, "What's behind the door?"

Heipi fell silent again.

Jiang You said: "Brother, I have no prejudice against monsters. I just want to leave this damn place and find a comfortable bed to lie down."

"I have never hurt anyone." said Heipi.

"Are you a monster born and raised here?" Jiang You asked.

"Yes."

"What on earth is this place?"

Heipi lowered his head and took another sip of water. Then he said, "Do you promise to just leave here?"

Jiang You's tone was very sincere. He said, "I promise."

"Then are you human?" Heipi asked again.

Jiang You answered quickly and confidently, "Of course, the three of us are pure humans."

"To open this door, a human sacrifice is required..."

Before Heipi could finish his words, Jiang You punched him in the face, causing the cup to fall to the ground and water to spill all over the floor.

"Do you want to sow discord?" Jiang You asked.

Heipi raised his head with great effort and looked into Jiang You's eyes. "Inside the door are things left by the immortal."

“I just want to leave.”

"You can leave by opening the door."

"I'm not interested in what's inside the door," Jiang You licked his lips. He avoided Hei Pi's sight and asked, "How did you leave?"

Heipi said: "When the ban was not triggered, I could enter and exit freely, but now I can't leave either."

"How do you prove that what you said is true?" Jiang You asked.

"I can't prove it." said Heipi.

Jiang You stood up and walked to the door.

In a short period of time, frost had once again covered the door.

"Then where exactly is this place?" Jiang You turned his head and saw Hei Pi also stood up. He said, "Tell me everything you know, otherwise, light soy sauce, give him a roller coaster meal."

As soon as Jiang Mo raised his head, Hei Pi shuddered. He said , "I'll tell you."

"Tell me, where is this?" Jiang You walked back to the alcohol stove. He took out a piece of dried beef, heated it up by the stove, and took a bite.

"This door suddenly appeared about half a century ago," said Heipi.

"Half a century?" Jiang You asked with some doubt in his tone.

"Yes."

"How are you at math?"

Hearing Jiang You's doubt, Hei Pi said: "I, I often go to places where humans live, I won't remember it wrong."

"How old are you?"

"I have been incarnated for more than 200 years."

"Two hundred years?" Jiang You looked at him suspiciously, "So weak?"

"The spiritual energy in the desert is thin, and cultivation is difficult."

"Okay, go ahead."
