Chapter 755 - The Dragon Bone to Bring Her Back to Life (1/2)
Lifting the corners of his pale lips to show a determined smile, Long Tianyu wielded his sword to stab himself in the chest without the slightest hesitation.
“No!” There came a voice.
At the critical moment, a stone cut through the air and knocked off the sharp blade that was about to pierce through his chest.
In the twinkling of an eye, a figure leaped over and grabbed the sword from Long Tianyu.
“Do you think that you can bring my sister back to life by committing suicide? Sober up!” Lin Zhongyu held Long Tianyu’s hand tightly and said.
Fortunately, he noticed that something was wrong and followed Long Tianyu to check on the situation.
If Long Tianyu really died, Lin Mengya would probably go crazy after waking up.
“She’s dead. Let go of me!” Long Tianyu groaned in a low voice like a wounded beast.
The blood that was still wet at the corners of his mouth made him look terrifyingly pale and haggard.
Lin Zhongyu exerted himself to clench Long Tianyu’s hand and seemed to be hesitant with a sparkle in his eyes. However, at the sight of the despair in Long Tianyu’s eyes, he involuntarily said, “My sister is not past hope. Look at her, she does not look like a dead person at all. I have a way to save her!”
Fortunately, Lin Mengya was prescient enough to leave him instructions for dealing with this, otherwise, today’s situation would get out of control.
Hearing that there was a way to save Lin Mengya, Long Tianyu immediately stopped struggling desperately.
He grabbed a corner of Lin Zhongyu’s clothes and seemed to show a desire to continue his life in his lifeless eyes in an instant.
“What did you say? How can we save her? Tell me!” He asked.
Lin Zhongyu struggled to loosen Long Tianyu’s grip on his clothes. After making sure that Long Tianyu had given up committing suicide, he put the long sword back in Long Tianyu’s hand.
Then Lin Zhongyu said, “I heard that there is a treasure, which can bring the dead back to life, in the hands of the Candle Dragon Cult. In fact, my sister is in poor condition now. You’d better put her back in the pool where her body can be kept properly. I will tell you about other things slowly. But remember one thing: if you die, my sister will really be past hope.”
It was only now that Lin Zhongyu realized that his sister had really arranged everything properly.
The poison she gave him presumably could make people unable to exert strength, but its effect did not show.
In this way, Long Tianyu naturally considered those people not skilled enough in martial arts and would not be suspicious.
Besides, the information left by his sister could give Long Tianyu hope and a motivation to continue living.
As for whether he could cheer Long Tianyu up, it depended on how he explained to Long Tianyu.
Long Tianyu, who seemed to have found the meaning of continuing his life, held Lin Mengya in his arms and gently kissed her forehead and eyes despite his reluctance to part with her.
If Xiaoyu was telling the truth, he would be able to meet her again in the future.
He cautiously put her back in the pool. Watching her sleeping peacefully at the bottom of the pool, Long Tianyu did not believe that she would leave him like this.
“This is not a good place to talk. If you keep staying here, the residual poison will kill you.” Lin Zhongyu composedly urged Long Tianyu to leave.
Long Tianyu, whose lips were a little livid at this moment, presumably could not take this much longer.
After taking another deep look at Lin Mengya, who was sleeping at the bottom of the pool, Long Tianyu picked up his long sword and walked out through the tunnel with Lin Zhongyu.
In the cave, Long Tianyu was by the crackling fire like a wooden stake, numb to cold. Grabbing his long sword, he fixed his eyes on the young man who looked helpless in front of him, and asked, “How exactly can we save her?”
The woman he loved was lying unconscious at the bottom of the pool at the moment.
Long Tianyu had lost all interest in life, and his desire to live had fallen into a deep sleep with her.
If she couldn’t wake up, he could only live like a walking corpse for the rest of his life.
“Calm down. I heard that the reason for the Candle Dragon Cult’s current steady growth is that its primary head had an extremely magical dragon bone said to be capable of regenerating tissue and bringing the dead back to life. In fact, I infiltrated the Candle Dragon Cult for it. I think my sister fell into a coma because she’s seriously poisoned. If we get the dragon bone, maybe we can save her,” Lin Zhongyu said with shimmering eyes.
In fact, Lin Mengya told him another excuse.
Nevertheless, he had been pursuing the dragon bone all this time.
The dragon bone’s function of “bringing the dead back to life” was just made up by him. Moreover, his sister was not dead, so she could “come back to life” no matter the dragon bone worked or not.
“Dragon bone? We can save her with this?” Long Tianyu asked, anxious to get a definite answer.
Seeing Xiaoyu nod, he finally felt a little warmth.
Fortunately, as long as she could come back to life, he would be glad even if he had to sacrifice his life, not to mention get the dragon bone from the Candle Dragon Cult.
Long Tianyu lifted his long sword and was about to walk out of the cave.
However, Xiaoyu dragged him back with a disapproving look and pressed him down in front of the fire.
