The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 144 The gravel is too hard!

As if he had foreseen this, the man suddenly grabbed Qi Min, lifted him up, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and ran quickly without stopping.

"If you keep doing this... we'll both die... why don't you put me down and I'll walk by myself..."

Qi Min, with his stomach being carried by him, spoke intermittently, sounding somewhat uncomfortable.

But when I looked up, I felt a chill run down my spine at the sight of the dense flowers behind me.

It was okay when my back was to the flowers, even though I was scared because I couldn't see them.

But when the gaze shifts and the visual impact is directly confronted, it becomes somewhat unbearable.

Qi Min just wanted this person to run faster. The dense, dark blue flowers with their fang-like thorns looked terrifying as they lunged at him, and the pain in his legs was amplified even more.

Soon, just as these tooth-like petals pounced and almost bit Qi Min's nose.

The man finally managed to bring Qi Min back to the vicinity of the altar.

The flowers didn't reach Qi Min, but they didn't dare to go any further. After layers of flowers piled up behind them, they eventually retreated.

The man fell to the ground with Qi Min, breathing heavily, as if he had collapsed from exhaustion. His chest heaved violently as he tried to calm himself.

Qi Min was also lying on his back, wincing in pain, because not only his calves hurt, but his buttocks and even his back were also in pain!

The pebbles on the ground are too hard!

A soft tearing sound.

Qi Min felt his calf being suddenly lifted up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the man had torn off the edge of his T-shirt and was bandaging him to stop the bleeding.

"Well!"

The bleeding wound was tightly bound, and the intense pain surged into Qi Min's brain once again.

"We can't find any medicine here, so this is the only option for now. Please try to bear with it."

As the man spoke, he quickly tied a knot in his fingers to bandage the wound, and almost as soon as he finished speaking, the wound was completely bandaged.

Looking at the bandaged wound, Qi Min had no choice but to swallow back his words of refusal to stop him.

Actually, he wanted to say that he still had some points that could be used to buy some common medicines, but this person acted too quickly and didn't give him the chance.

But thinking about it, it's probably for the best. Who knows what else we'll encounter? It's better to save the points for now. Besides, the medicines he can exchange for might not be very effective anyway.

"We can't stay here for long; we don't know when the things in the pool will reappear."

We need to find a way out of here quickly. Get up, we need to find another way.

The man prepared to lift Qi Min up again, but Qi Min refused.

"No need, you need to conserve your energy. You can't keep going like this. Just hold on for me."

Qi Min grabbed his hand and used his strength to slowly stand up. The wound was wrapped tightly, and he still felt a series of pains when he landed, but it was still within Qi Min's tolerance range.

The man watched him struggle to stand up, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Qi Min had never seen his wounds that were entangled by flowers, but he examined them carefully while they were being bandaged.

The area on Qi Min's calf that was entangled was already a bloody mess, and where the flower had bitten him, there was a hole in the flesh, with the white bone vaguely visible.

The man had expected Qi Min to be in so much pain that he wouldn't be able to walk, but to his surprise, Qi Min was still able to walk on his own. This surprised him.

Qi Min supported himself on the man's arm and left with him along the other side of the altar.

Before leaving, out of caution, Qi Min covered the bloodstains that had dripped onto the ground with ashes.

Dust also covered the surface of their calves, in an attempt to reduce the chances of the blood smell being detected.

The man looked at his cautious actions with even greater admiration, and even joked that if he could enlist, he would definitely be a good soldier, being cautious enough.

"You flatter me. I didn't know these things before. I only started learning them after I came here. Okay, let's go."

Qi Min was slightly taken aback, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, dusted off his hands, and stood up.

Seeing this, the man stopped talking about it and reached out to support Qi Min again, so that he could walk with his help.

Not long after the two left, the once quiet pond water inexplicably rippled, and an aquatic plant with a human face slowly rose from the water.

If Qi Min were still here, he would be extremely surprised, for this face was none other than Xiong Jingyu, who had been dragged into the pool.

The aquatic plant with Xiong Jingyu's face, like a waterweed vine, was moved out of the pond, its spreading vines spreading out like water snakes and lying flat on the ground.

Suddenly, the face on the vine opened its eyes, and Xiong Jingyu's nose twitched as if it had smelled something.

Xiong Jingyu's lips moved, and he actually managed to utter a few hoarse and unpleasant shouts. Although they were somewhat indistinct, it was still possible to make out that it was a person's name.

"Qi... Min..."

Despite the pain in his leg, Qi Min and the man accompanying him walked to a narrower rocky path.

Seeing that the path in front of him was only wide enough for one person to pass through, Qi Min offered to go in first. He told the man to turn around and run for his life immediately if anything happened to him, and not to worry about him.

"Heh, do you think I'm someone who's afraid of death? I just saved you, and I won't give up on you easily now. If anything happens, I'll fight it to the death."

The man gave a light chuckle, as if amused, and slightly raised his chin. His already resolute appearance appeared even more rugged in the dim light.

Looking at the unruly smile on his lips, there was no fear in that smile, only contempt for the unknown danger.

Looking at him, Qi Min seemed to be infected by his calm demeanor, and her fear lessened a bit, but she still insisted on going first.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Qi Min otherwise, the man had no choice but to back down and let him go first, while he held onto Qi Min's clothes tightly from behind, so that he could pull him back immediately if anything happened.

Fortunately, the area ahead was safe and there were no problems. After they passed through, they came to a broken platform, below which was a stream of water flowing in an unknown direction.

Qi Min found a relatively flat rock to sit on. Listening to the rushing water, a sense of despair welled up in his heart. His legs were getting more and more painful.

Since entering the instance, he has not eaten any food, and after running and fighting without rest, he seems to have exhausted all his strength.

The man stared at the flowing water in silence for a moment. After looking around, he seemed to have found something and took two more steps along the rock wall.

"There's another door here, come and take a look."

Upon hearing his greeting, Qi Min perked up and stepped forward. As he approached, he saw a seemingly ancient and heavy stone door.
