The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent Chapter 278 Jedi Counterattack

In the dark cave, Wei Qingjue carefully walked around the periphery and stopped after confirming that there were no other exits except the cave entrance.

The ground was covered with sticky liquid. He couldn't help but frowned, took off his coat, and spread it on a relatively dry stone.

"Niannian..."

What would it take for Yun Nian to wake up? His eyes swept across the intricate vines one by one. Every time he tried to cut them with his sword, he would be attacked by the branches that rushed over crazily.

This forced him to retreat temporarily. Otherwise, before he could find a solution, he would be tied up like a cocoon.

In the entire cave, it seemed that only his and Yun Nian's heartbeats could be heard. It was so quiet, as if the black fog just wanted to force him in. Now, there was no movement at all.

"Boom thump... thump thump..."

His heartbeat became more and more intense... No, it didn't seem to be his heartbeat. It became more rapid, more chaotic and disordered.

"It's not a heartbeat."

A gentle voice sounded, and he immediately turned his head to look over. Yun Nian had already sat up with his head pressed down, and when he saw him looking over, he showed a soothing expression.

Just like I fainted for no reason at the beginning, I am awake now for no reason either.

Although it was good that Yun Nian woke up, Wei Qingjue still couldn't help but worry. What if she fell into a coma without any warning again like she was doing now?

"Don't worry, I won't faint again."

The girl fumbled for a moment, then shook his hand, her expression bright and flamboyant. In this deep darkness, she was the only bright spot.

"But listen... there are many, many heartbeats."

After hearing her words, Wei Qingjue could discern several different heartbeats from the seemingly unified heartbeat.

"Weak, strong, vigorous, languid... Although the beats are almost the same and are covered by the loudest one, I can still hear the obvious difference."

Yun Nian pointed to her ears proudly. This was her most proud talent, and it was still the same at this moment.

"I see. Different heartbeats?"

"Yes, you remember that these monsters they said were parasitic on pregnant women, right?"

Yun Nian's eyes were filled with disgust. Just thinking of Xi Yuanen, she felt that this person was simply disgusting to the extreme.

"No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to make so many women pregnant at the same time. Therefore, the child who has grown up longer should be stronger."

"You mean, maybe their combined strength is very strong, but there are always weak parts. If we can find the weak points and break them one by one, then we can naturally solve the problem."

"That's right!"

Sure enough, Yun Nian thought proudly that Wei Qingjue could understand her thoughts even without saying them out loud, as if they had known each other for too long.

Yes, they have missed so much time.

The girl's mood suddenly became depressed, but before Wei Qingjue could ask, she smiled again.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Okay, I'll leave it to you to identify the route by listening to the sound."

Although Yun Nian looked a little strange, the look in her eyes was filled with tenderness and attachment that she herself had not noticed.

Wei Qingjue almost thought he had seen it wrong. He suppressed his inner excitement and anticipation, waiting until he got out so that he could ask slowly.

The arm beneath him was so solid and reliable that Wei Qingjue held Yun Nian on his arm as if he were holding a child. Whenever he wanted to change direction, the girl would gently poke him.

"it's here."

The rosy lips pressed against his ears, the whispering distance was too intimate, even in such a dangerous environment, it was enough to make him become a little distracted.

Yun Nian did not notice the strong possessiveness and extreme desire in those dark green eyes, or rather, even if she noticed, she would not care.

At least she knew that Wei Qingjue would never hurt her, and that was enough.

The faint, almost inaudible voice became fainter and fainter, as if trying to hide itself.

But Yun Nian had already directed Wei Qingjue to a long vine. The thin strip of paper was entangled like the surrounding vines, but it was tied tighter than other places.

"Let's do it."

Without hesitation, Wei Qingjue raised his sword and pierced through the thing wrapped in vines after hearing Yun Nian's order.

When the sharp tip of the sword pierces into someone, it is no different from killing someone.

"They are not people, they are monsters."

Yun Nian murmured, his voice almost inaudible. After the blow, the surrounding vines began to whip wildly as if they were crazy.

"Swipe!"

The sharp sound of breaking through the air was so powerful that if you were really hit, you would be skinned alive even if you didn't die.

But Wei Qingjue's movements were much faster than those vines. He was like a floating duckweed, weaving through the intertwined vine attacks, finding an empty space, and tightly protecting Yun Nian in front of him.

Just before they started, Yun Nian and he had already confirmed that these vines seemed to be able to attack people only through sound and touch. As long as the two of them didn't make any sound, there was no way they could hurt them.

After the impotent and furious vines twitched in the air for half a quarter of an hour, they finally stopped.

At this moment, the two people looked at each other in the darkness, and Yun Nian smiled with his eyes curved.

"This way."

She pointed her finger to the left, and Wei Qingjue, understanding the meaning, immediately headed in the direction indicated.

"Two."

"three."

……

"fifteen."

Counting silently, Yun Nian's eyes became brighter in the darkness, and the originally weak heartbeat became even more disordered. In addition, the originally majestic and steady heartbeat also became disordered.

As if afraid.

Even though such a long time had passed, Wei Qingjue still didn't seem to feel tired, and even his gentle breathing was steady.

He turned his head to look at the girl on his left. Because she was being held, she was much taller than Wei Qingjue, but her eyes were also looking down.

Whenever Wei Qingjue turned around, he could see that she also turned around as if she had sensed something, revealing a soft and gentle smile.

But she was definitely not the kind of young lady from an official family who was kept in seclusion and would only scream when she saw blood.

In such a dangerous environment, it was not easy to stay calm. The thick vines whipped her and almost brushed past her face several times.

Even if Wei Qingjue was careful enough, she would not get hurt, but it was understandable that people would be afraid when facing danger. The whistling wind made her cheeks red, but it was hard to see clearly in the darkness.

Yun Nian was not nervous for a single moment. She was certain that the person holding her would never let her get hurt. She did not even lose her breath when the vines swept over her.

"what happened?"

The girl raised her eyebrows and asked silently, but Wei Qingjue just shook his head, indicating that he could continue.

The two of them looked back, as if they were the only ones left in the world.

Flying figures shuttled through the cave. One by one, the heart-like objects were pointed out by Yun Nian and pierced by a sword. The vines seemed to become more violent, and almost the entire cave began to shake.

Wei Qingjue almost embarrassedly shuttled through the crazy attacks, and then protected Yun Nian in his arms. When he stopped, cold sweat had already appeared.

Yun Nian's heartbeat also became violent. This was not her intention, but it was beyond her control. She blinked her eyes and wiped the sweat off Wei Qingjue's face with her sleeve.

"Seven."

She made a hand gesture, and there were only seven heartbeats left. It seemed that the seven heartbeats were distributed more widely, and it would take more effort to defeat them one by one.

"Then..."

Just when he was about to strike while the iron was hot, Wei Qingjue's expression suddenly changed. He tightened his grip on Yun Nian in an instant, and lifted himself up and left the place where he was standing.

"Gudong..."

The stone that he was standing on was swallowed up by the bubbles, and not even a trace of it could be found.

While they were concentrating on attacking, the monster was quietly preparing for a counterattack.
