Chapter 271: Return to the Cave
At this time, under the leadership of the beast, Zhao Kuo, Ling Haifeng, and Qing Fang took the elite children of their respective families and slowly marched along the cave.
As everyone went deeper, someone immediately noticed that there was a faint smell of blood in the air. And, the further you go, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.
"Don't be sluggish, hurry inside, don't waste time. Zhao Yanxi urged impatiently in the back, it will be almost two days, and he hasn't even seen Jiang Lai's figure, how can he not be in a hurry.
Qing Fangliu frowned slightly, "What's the hurry, you don't know what this place is, if you don't get it right, we people may be wiped out." ”
Seeing her open her mouth, Zhao Yanxi opened her mouth, but the unhappiness in her heart was still not revealed after all. If it were someone else, he would have been furious a long time ago, but Qing Fang's identity is different, he is a strong person who has touched the divine realm, and it is only a matter of time before he breaks through the divine realm. In front of this kind of person, even if his father is the head of the Zhao family, he has to be polite and dare not offend.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo, who was walking in front of him, suddenly raised his hand and made a 'stop' gesture.
"What's going on?" Ling Haifeng stepped forward.
"There's movement. Zhao Kuo's expression was a little solemn, and even a little nervous.
Seeing this, Ling Haifeng glanced at the people behind him, and a Ling family disciple immediately understood, took out a few glow sticks from the backpack he was carrying, and threw them forward.
Suddenly, the front of the passage became incomparably brighter, and within thirty meters it was incomparably clear. "There!" Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and pointed, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger, only to see that there seemed to be a person hidden in the shadows not far away.
"Who is it?" Qing Fang snorted coldly, and her footsteps slowly approached.
"Jiang Lai, don't hide, come out, you can't run away. Zhao Yanxi sneered secretly, and a hanging heart finally landed. As long as Jiang Lai is found, he will be saved.
As the shadow got closer and closer, Qing Fang raised her hand, her spiritual power condensed, as long as the other party had any intention of escaping, she would strike mercilessly.
"Hey, hey!"
Suddenly, a low laugh came from the shadows: "Qingling, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are still so beautiful." ”
Hearing the strange and familiar voice, Qing Fang's footsteps paused slightly, and her face was full of surprise, "You, who are you?"
"What's the matter? It's only been more than ten years, don't you remember me?" The words fell, and an unusual figure slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
Looking at that sickly pale face, Qing Fang was stunned for a moment, her eyes full of shock, and she seemed to have forgotten to speak.
"Are you...... Are you Zhao He?" Zhao Kuo was the first to wake up, and rushed forward with a look of ecstasy, "Brother Zhao, it's really you! I didn't expect you to be alive, it's been more than ten years, and we all thought you were dead." ”
However, seeing Zhao He's deformed body, he was shocked, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's hard to put into words. Zhao He smiled. After a pause, he glanced at the large army behind him and asked, "Why are so many of you running here to invite even the beasts out." ”
"Find someone. ”
"Jiang Lai?"
"Yes! Zhao Kuo nodded, "The Cotton Beast has followed his aura here, and the elders have given a death order, and they must find him." ”
Zhao He frowned slightly, "I have met Jiang Lai, he is just an enshrinement of the Zhao family, his cultivation is barely strong, is this kind of person also worthy of such a big battle? The three elders inevitably don't take their own lives too seriously." ”
"Offerings?" Qing Fang snorted lightly, "You have been deceived by him, he is the prisoner we want to arrest, because he knows Song Huang's whereabouts, so we must find him." ”
Hearing this, Zhao He couldn't help but be taken aback, "Are you sure?"
"Brother Zhao, how can we joke with you about this kind of thing. ”
"Oops!"
"Will he ...... Dead, right?"
Zhao He said in a deep voice: "It's not dead for the time being, but it's fast, with his strength, he won't be able to live long in that kind of place." ”
"Brother Zhao, you have been trapped below for more than ten years, you should be very familiar with the environment here, or you will take us to find him. ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Zhao He hesitated, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I finally escaped, but you let me go back." Forget it! It's about the future of the three major families, even if you lose your life, it's worth it, come with me!"
Because Zhao He led the way, there was no need to take that cotton beast on an adventure. So, everyone divided into two groups, one group escorted the beast back, and the other group followed Zhao He deep into the cave to find Jiang Lai's whereabouts.
Along the way, according to Zhao He's instructions, everyone made marks as they walked.
"Brother Zhao, are you still afraid of getting lost?" Zhao Kuo was a little puzzled by his behavior.
The latter said lightly: "You don't know the power of the ancient relics at all, these entrances can lead to the underground, but you can't go back the way you came." When you react, you realize that you have long since lost your way and can't find your original way, not only me, but many creatures in the neighborhood have been trapped underneath because of this over the years. ”
Ling Haifeng asked with interest, "Why is this?"
"I thought about it carefully, it should be a trick to mislead your brain and make you make wrong judgments through subtle changes that you can't notice. For example, when you feel like you're going further east, you're actually going west. ”
"I didn't think that beast would have such a skill. ”
"We make unalterable marks along the way, so that it can't confuse us. ”
After more than half an hour, the group finally returned to the stone room where Zhao He lived. However, they found no trace of Jiang Lai.
"Brother Zhao, where is Jiang Lai?"
"He's supposed to stay here. Zhao He pondered for a while, "Maybe he went out to explore the way, don't worry, let's wait, I believe he will come back soon." ”
This is more than two hours.
Qing Fang paced back and forth in the stone room, the look on his face became more and more impatient, "I haven't seen anyone for so long, I guess he won't come back." ”
"It's the only hiding place, and if he doesn't come back, there's only one possibility. He's dead!"
As soon as these words came out, the hearts of Ling Haifeng and the three couldn't help sinking. They don't care about Jiang Lai's life, they only care about the secrets that Jiang Lai has mastered. Once he died, all their efforts were in vain.
"Qingfang, what do you think?"
The latter thought for a moment, and his eyes gradually became firm, "Find! If you want to see the corpse when you die, you want to see people when you live, if the elders ask, we can give them an explanation." ”
Ling Haifeng nodded, "Let's divide into three ways to save time, and in twenty minutes, everyone will meet here." ”
