Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

Chapter 106 Escape

Si Jingnian's deep eyes were fixed on the dark, unknown area ahead, his gaze filled with determination and resolve. He muttered to himself:

"Ah Yao, if I'm unfortunately caught by that terrible monster in a moment, you must let go immediately without hesitation. Don't worry about me, we can't both die together..."

As he spoke, he gripped Shen Qingyao's hand even tighter, as if trying to convey his deepest unease to her in this way.

"What if I get captured by a monster?"

Shen Qingyao blinked her bright, lively eyes, looking at Si Jingnian beside her with a serious expression, and a playful thought inappropriately arose in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Si Jingnian answered without hesitation:

"I'll keep holding onto you. Even if we can't beat them, we can just become monster food together. I'm much stronger than you, and my flesh is chewier. Maybe you can find a chance to escape in the chaos."

When he said this, Si Jingnian's expression was extremely serious, as if he had already disregarded life and death.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyao subconsciously raised her flashlight and shone it directly into Si Jingnian's eyes.

The intense light instantly stung Si Jingnian's eyes, causing him to involuntarily close them.

"Idiot!"

Seeing Si Jingnian's reaction, Shen Qingyao playfully scolded him.

However, only she knew that at this moment, her heart was already overwhelmed by a complex emotion.

Every word Si Jingnian said was like a heavy hammer, striking her heart and making her feel both bitter and painful.

"Ah Yao, don't worry, we will definitely get out safely."

Si Jingqing gently comforted Shen Qingyao, while holding her hand tightly and carefully walking forward.

A chilling darkness and silence surrounded them, but as long as their hands were still clasped together, they felt as if no difficulty was insurmountable.

Shen Qingyao quietly followed Si Jingnian's footsteps. After a long silence, she finally nodded slightly and softly replied:

"Yeah... I will."

Despite the unknown dangers ahead, for some reason, she felt a deep trust in Si Jingnian at this moment.

Perhaps it was this trust that gave her the courage and strength to keep going.

Just then, another extremely shrill scream suddenly rang out from behind.

The crowd, already somewhat terrified, was now in a state of panic, like frightened birds.

Some people collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably, and didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Others simply bury their heads in the sand like ostriches, lying on the ground trembling and muttering to themselves.

"I'm not leaving anymore, I'm never leaving again..."

At the same time, an extremely strange and nauseating smell slowly emanated from under the person lying on the ground.

The smell was so unpleasant that everyone instinctively covered their noses and took several steps back.

However, before everyone could readjust their emotions, the next moment, everyone's eyes were drawn to what was behind that person.

Their eyes widened, their mouths gaped open, and their faces were filled with terror, as if they had seen the most horrifying sight in the world. They were completely stunned and frozen in fear.

In the depths of endless darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly lit up.

Those eyes were enormous, like two huge red lanterns hanging in the air, emitting eerie light.

Moreover, those eyes were looking down at everyone present from a high position, and the cold killing intent and sinister aura contained within them made people shudder.

Immediately afterwards, a tail covered with dense scales emerged from the darkness with lightning speed and instantly wrapped tightly around the person lying on the ground.

Its tail was thick and powerful, its scales gleaming with a cold light, and it looked incredibly hard.

"Ah! Help! Help!"

The person who was entangled immediately cried out for help in great terror. He struggled desperately to break free of the terrifying restraints, but to no avail.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyao, who was standing nearby, did not hesitate to throw the dagger in her hand forcefully at the tail.

With a crisp clang, the dagger struck the hard scales, sending up a dazzling spark.

Unfortunately, the dagger not only failed to harm the tail in the slightest, but was instead bounced back by the powerful reaction force and embedded itself straight into a crevice in the nearby rock, with only the hilt sticking out and trembling slightly.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene before them, their faces filled with terror, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary scale would be so hard?

Even Shen Qingyao's incredibly sharp dagger, capable of cutting through iron like mud, was forcefully bounced back when it touched the scales, producing a crisp yet chilling sound.

At that moment, Si Jingnian, who had been calmly observing the situation, reacted quickly.

Without hesitation, he raised the pistol in his hand, aimed at the monster's eyes that were flashing with blood-red light, and decisively pulled the trigger.

With a loud bang, the bullet shot out like lightning.

But unexpectedly, when the bullet hit the monster's eye, it seemed to hit an impenetrable wall, instantly losing its power and having no effect whatsoever.

"Roar~!"

Then the monster let out a deafening roar.

The roar was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, resounding throughout the entire space, while at the same time a strong wind carrying a strong, fishy stench swept in.

The stench was so strong that it made one want to vomit and almost unable to breathe.

Faced with such a terrifying scene, everyone was terrified, and only one thought remained in their minds: escape!

They had long since forgotten the potential dangers ahead and rushed forward in a frenzy.

The crowd was in complete chaos. Some people, in order to get to the front, recklessly reached out and grabbed the clothes or hair of the person in front of them, and then pushed them to the ground, completely disregarding the life or death of others.

Even worse, some people push the person next to them into the abyss behind them, just to buy themselves a chance to survive.

In stark contrast, Shen Qingyao and the people around her stood firmly in place, without moving an inch.

They knew perfectly well that blindly following the crowd and fleeing in panic like others would only make the situation worse and put them in extreme danger.

However, those who were already in a panic had no time to care about these things. One of them, in order to escape this terrible place as soon as possible, suddenly reached out and pushed Shen Qingyao, who was closest to him.

Since Shen Qingyao was already standing near the edge, the sudden push caused her to lose her balance and fall outwards like a kite with a broken string.

Fortunately, Si Jingnian had been holding Shen Qingyao's hand tightly and quickly pulled her back.

The next moment, Si Jingnian's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand to shoot the person who pushed Shen Qingyao.
