I Contracted Myself-Chapter 92 – The reason for being trapped

Liu Sishan looked at Zhang Ping and finally relented, "Remember, you must come out alive. If you're not out in fifteen minutes, I'll come in to find you!"

"Okay!" Zhang Ping nodded.

Watching the two leave, Ye Changchun asked, "Who are those two people?"

"Two enemies we captured earlier. They were severely injured, so we locked them in the confinement room," Zhang Ping replied.

He then looked towards the direction of the confinement room. The passage there had mostly collapsed, but the lava hadn't flowed in yet.

He turned to Ye Changchun and said, "Senior Ye, sorry to trouble you, but please hold on a bit longer while I get them out."

"Hehe, go ahead. It shouldn't be a problem for a short while," Ye Changchun chuckled.

He knew what kind of person Zhang Ping was.

Zhang Ping making such a choice wasn't surprising; it fit perfectly with his understanding of Zhang Ping.

It was because of this kind of Zhang Ping that he and Su Qingbo chose to follow him and protect him.

Zhang Ping transformed into a Pure Water Body and quickly moved towards the passage to the confinement room. He had hesitated about whether to save them, as Zhang Shouzhong had said, these brothers were their enemies and could be left to their fate.

But in the last moment, he remembered many rescue missions from his past life, where those waiting for help were in collapsed caves or dangerous jungles.

Every person they encountered was tearful, their eyes filled with hope.

Finally, he thought of himself.

Being buried alive wasn't a pleasant feeling.

If Zhao Yanlong and Zhao Yanhu died here, it would be no different from being buried alive.

"Would I be called a Holy Mother for doing this in my past life? Whatever, as long as I'm not a hypocritical Holy Mother," Zhang Ping thought self-deprecatingly as he approached the confinement room.

He used his Pure Water form to open the door, and sure enough, Zhao Yanhu and Zhao Yanlong were conscious, but unable to move due to their severe injuries.

Seeing Zhang Ping, they both looked surprised.

They thought Zhang Ping and the others had long escaped and couldn't believe he would waste time on them.

Zhang Ping didn't bother talking to them, wrapped them up, and quickly used the Nether Mist to escape. Shortly after they left, the confinement room collapsed, buried by rocks.

"Why did you come back?" Zhao Yanhu, being carried away quickly, asked in disbelief.

If it were him, he would never come back to save anyone and would even mock them for dying miserably.

Zhang Ping replied self-mockingly, "Because I love being a Holy Mother. If I'm not a Holy Mother, I feel uncomfortable. I'm a Holy Mother for fun, satisfied with that answer?"

He quickly returned to the teleportation array, placed the two brothers inside, and looked at Ye Changchun.

Ye Changchun chuckled, and in the next moment, he swiftly returned to the Contract Gem, which flew into Zhang Ping's pocket.

In an instant, Zhang Ping hurriedly activated the teleportation array.

But as he did, a cracking sound echoed!

With Ye Changchun's departure, the space suddenly lost its support, the ground cracked first, then was compressed and arched up.

The cracking was much faster than the compression, and just as the teleportation array activated, the entire platform split in two, causing the teleportation to fail.

"......"

Zhang Ping was momentarily stunned, then felt something falling from above and quickly used his hands to support it.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the entire space collapsed rapidly.

Zhang Ping held up the rock above him, his body bent under the pressure, struggling to hold it up.

"Cough, cough, looks like we can't escape," Zhao Yanlong said, his face pale, barely lifting his head to look at his leg trapped under a boulder, coughing as he spoke.

Zhao Yanhu looked at Zhang Ping and advised, "Save your strength. Can't you turn into water? If you do it now, maybe you can survive."

"Damn it, stop whining, it's annoying," Zhang Ping gritted his teeth, cursing.

He was trying to think of a way.

Even though the space had collapsed, he wouldn't die in his Pure Water form, but Zhao Yanlong and Zhao Yanhu would definitely die, and right in front of him.

"Zhang Ping, do you need my help?" Ye Changchun's Contract Gem floated out of Zhang Ping's pocket, asking.

Zhang Ping frowned, "Senior, the space here is too small, can you come out?"

"Seems like... I really can't. Although I could expand the space if I came out, it would also crush those two," Ye Changchun thought for a moment and replied helplessly.

Zhang Ping could turn into water, unaffected by his pressure, but the Zhao brothers couldn't.

At that moment, the ground shook violently again, and lava surged rapidly.

Because Ye Changchun's presence had altered the terrain, there were still many raised mounds temporarily blocking the lava, but it was still seeping through many cracks.

The teleportation platform was slightly higher than the ground, so the lava couldn't reach them for now, but the air was becoming thinner.

Due to the tremor, Zhang Ping's body was pressed even lower, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth. His eyes were bloodshot from exertion, veins bulging on his skin, looking terrifyingly fierce.

"Stop holding on, let us die quickly," Zhao Yanhu said, tears in his eyes as he looked at Zhang Ping's fierce appearance.

Zhao Yanlong turned his head to the side, closing his eyes as if waiting for death, his fists quietly clenched.

They had seen Zhang Ping's Pure Water Body, and with the Nether Mist's powerful penetration, this place couldn't trap Zhang Ping. What truly trapped him here were the two of them.
