Chapter 364 Ding Ling: I have no choice
Hearing this, Ding Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of darkness, and he stared at Qi Sha intently, "Do you still want to get out?"
"You don't have to threaten me. If I don't want to go out, you'll have a headache, right?" Qi Sha grinned and looked at Ding Ling provocatively. "Do you really think this kid is stupid? I'm afraid he has already noticed it, that's why he did this."
The cauldron spirit's expression changed, and its gaze seemed to pass through the cauldron and land on Ye Yu. Its illusory fist gradually clenched, "I... I have no choice."
Qi Sha was stunned, and his eyes trembled as he looked at Ding Ling. He sensed a fluctuation from Ding Ling's body, which was the fear of death.
Qi Sha originally entered the Tao through killing, so he has a very clear understanding of this feeling and it is definitely not wrong.
Just now, the fear of death emanated from Ding Ling's body.
Seeing this, Qi Sha looked deeply at Ding Ling, then turned and went into the depths.
Ding Ling stood alone in the void, muttering, "Time and again, time and again, I watched you fall and fail each time. That was his punishment for my indecision. I don't want to... go on like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fireflies in the Xutian Ding that looked like a sea of stars suddenly surrounded the Ding Spirit and surrounded it in the center, as if to comfort it.
Looking at these fireflies, Ding Ling could feel the kindness emanating from them, and subconsciously the corners of his mouth rose slightly, but soon, they froze.
A powerful force suddenly erupted from his body, shaking away all the fireflies.
Then he slowly turned around, a crisp voice was heard, and the figure of the Ding Ling became illusory for a while, as if one could see countless chains wrapped around its body.
In the outside world, after confirming the situation in the Netherworld Gorge, Ye Yu returned to the group.
"Boy, what are you going to do?" asked the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast.
"Wait." Ye Yu said.
"Wait? You want us to go into the Netherworld Gorge and wait?" The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast said with its eyes wide open.
Ye Yu nodded and frowned, "Is there anything wrong?"
"You have the little cauldron protecting you, so you can go down, but I can't." The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast hurriedly shook its head and said, "In this Netherworld Gorge, the northerly cold wind is rampant. If I go down, won't I be cut into pieces?"
"Northern Cold Wind?" Ye Yu asked in surprise. Ye Yu had heard of this special wind, but he didn't expect to encounter it here.
The Ice Crystal Dragonscale Beast nodded.
Ye Yu turned around and looked towards the Netherworld Gorge. He had just gone down there and did not use the Xutian Ding to protect his body, but he did not feel any discomfort.
Generally speaking, it would be more difficult for Ye Yu to deal with the northern cold gale that even the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast could not resist.
But just now, Ye Yu didn't feel it.
There is only one explanation, this northern cold wind is also a special kind of aura, just like the aura of the wilderness.
When he thought of this, Ye Yu's eyes flashed. This point was not mentioned in the intelligence he bought on Beicang Island. Unexpectedly, he would get extra gains.
However, Ye Yu did not plan to absorb these powers immediately. Instead, he raised his hand and shot out three green lights which merged into the bodies of the three people, and then took them into the Netherworld Gorge.
Two days passed quickly. The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast was extremely anxious and tried to go out to investigate several times, but was stopped by Ye Yu every time.
"Boy, what are we waiting for?" the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast asked anxiously.
"Wait until all the Ye family members arrive. I can only use this method once, so I must maximize its effect." Ye Yu said lightly.
The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast gritted its teeth and said, "But my tribe is trapped there. If it's too long, there's no guarantee something might happen. How about you go back and bring them all over?"
"Without bait, how could the Ye family send so many people?" Ye Yu said with his eyes slightly gloomy.
Upon hearing this, the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast's face darkened. "What do you mean? Are you using my people as bait?"
"It's not just them. Once the Ye family arrives, you and Liu Qi will also be bait." Ye Yu said bluntly, "Do you want to be exterminated, or do you want to sacrifice a few of your clansmen in exchange for a glimmer of hope? It's your choice."
The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast's expression suddenly turned ugly, and it stared straight at Ye Yu.
Sensing that the atmosphere was a little off, Liu Qi quickly stepped forward, attempting to laugh it off, and jokingly said, "Old Long, didn't you just run away if you couldn't win? Why are you worried now?"
The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast glared at Liu Qi fiercely, knowing he was joking and not taking it to heart. After all, they were close friends who had risked their lives together. It just said angrily, "A real man has his ways and his ways. Those are my people!"
Hearing this, Liu Qi sighed. He knew the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast very well. Although this creature usually spoke in a nonsensical way, it was actually very loyal.
Otherwise, he would not have followed Ye Yu around in Qingzhou and risked his life.
Seeing Ye Yu remained silent, the Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast wanted to say something, but Liu Qi stepped forward and patted it, lowering his voice and saying, "Old Dragon, don't blame the young master for being ruthless. Let your people be the bait."
"We were the ones who caused this incident. For the young master, killing us would have been the quickest solution, but he still stayed and took the risk with us."
"You don't need to tell me! I don't know who this guy is!" The Ice Crystal Dragon Scale Beast glared at Liu Qi, "I just want to ask if there is any other way!"
"You have to give up something to gain something. There's nothing you can do about it." Liu Qi sighed.
The fat monk was stunned when he heard this, and memories came flooding back. When he was still in the sect, the sect leader had asked him this question.
In a mountain range of monsters where entry is strictly prohibited to everyone, five children went in, and another child stood outside to persuade them not to go in.
Later, they were targeted by monsters, and you only had time to save one side. Who would you choose to save?
The fat monk hesitated for a while and then said, save those five children.
The clan leader smiled and nodded, then asked again, "What if the other child standing outside is a very talented child, and you save him? He may become a powerful being in the future, while the other five children are just mortals?"
The fat monk hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to save the five mortals.
The fat monk still remembers the disappointment in the sect leader's eyes. He only remembers that the sect leader said at that time that if he wanted to become the sect leader, he had to learn to make choices.
The fat monk pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at Ye Yu. He was suddenly curious about what answer Ye Yu would give, so he asked.
Ye Yu said without hesitation: "Save the child who didn't break the rules."
"Why? There are five lives on the other side!" the fat monk said in shock.
"Because you make a choice, you have to pay the price."
