"Friend, what's wrong with them?" Jiang Lai asked the man next to him.

The latter sighed and said, "When they entered the secret passage, they accidentally hit the mechanism by mistake, speaking of which, they are considered fateful, at least there can be a whole corpse, as for the others...... Alas, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pick up the body. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lai was shocked, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about the safety of Li Hongbei and Qiu Yannan.

After inquiring carefully, Jiang Lai finally had a general understanding of what had happened before. It turned out that those people continued to move forward along the secret cave that Huang Guyi had entered before, and found many corpses along the way, all of which were Huang Guyi's partners, presumably Huang Guyi encountered danger on the way, so they escaped in a hurry.

This time, because of the large number of people and the presence of masters from various Dao forces, although they encountered some dangers, they all saved themselves.

However, as the crowd slowly went deeper, they encountered some strange and strange things, and there were always people who disappeared inexplicably, and even the body could not be found. Later, a group of people discovers a hidden secret room filled with documents. However, when they entered, they realized that it was a trap, because the scene was too chaotic at that time, crowded with people, some of the lucky escapes were all scarred, and some of the people who had not had time to escape were all trapped inside, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead.

After learning of the situation, Jiang Lai's worries deepened. After pondering for a moment, he said hello to Guan Qingfei, asked the other party to recuperate, and then rushed over alone.

Returning to the jungle again, Jiang Lai came to the mountain wall with a familiar car, and looked at the dark cave entrance, he didn't think much about it, and walked straight in.

As soon as he entered the cave, a strong smell of blood immediately hit his nose, he frowned slightly, slowly touched forward, and not far ahead, he saw several corpses lying on both sides of the passage. A few dozen meters further on, I heard a burst of discussion in my ears.

In a spacious stone room, a lot of people gathered, including the Shang family, the Ma family, the Wu family and the Xu family, everyone's faces were a little ugly, obviously because of what happened just now, they lost a lot of manpower.

Jiang Lai glanced around a few times, but found no trace of Li Hongbei and Qiu Yannan, and became even more worried.

"Something can't happen. He muttered to himself, his eyes looking at a stone door in the stone chamber. At the bottom of the stone gate, there was a lot of blood remaining, and if I guessed correctly, those people were trapped inside.

"Jiang Lai?"

At this time, a surprised voice came, Jiang Lai turned his head to look, and saw Liu Chuqing and Liu Chuxue walking quickly towards him.

"Why are you two here?"

"We came with everyone, we wanted to join in the fun, who knew there would be so many dangers. Liu Chuqing said with palpitations: "If we knew this was the case, we shouldn't have come." ”

Jiang Lai pointed to the stone door, "Are those people locked inside?"

Liu Chuxue nodded, recalling the previous scene, she seemed to be a little afraid, and her face was slightly pale, "There was movement inside just now, and I could hear their cries for help, but now there is no sound at all, I guess it is more than lucky." ”

"There are so many people out there, why don't you take measures?"

"They tried, but the stone gate could not be destroyed by brute force, and they heard from those people that the stone gate was a mechanism, and once it was damaged, the whole area would collapse, so no one dared to do it. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Lai's eyes condensed slightly, and he felt a strong uneasiness in his heart. It's been so long, should Li Hongbei and Qiu Yannan have ...... At this thought, he shook his head, not daring to continue thinking about it.

After pondering for a moment, he walked straight to the stone gate and listened with his ears. As Liu Chuxue said, there was no movement in it at all, and even the faint sound of breathing could not be heard. In this case, there are only two possibilities, either they are both dead, or maybe they have found another way out.

Although he knew that the latter possibility was relatively slim, Jiang Lai still had a glimmer of hope. Just as he was thinking about what to do, a rush of footsteps suddenly came from the stone chamber.

Looking closely, I saw several men running out of the passage at one end of the stone room, panting and saying, "Master of the house, we have investigated, this road leads to the next room, there is no danger in the middle, you can pass." ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Qichong immediately cheered up, and after summoning the manpower, he didn't say a word, and immediately walked towards the passage. Seeing this, the others followed suit.

Jiang Lai hesitated, but chose to stay.

"Jiang Lai, aren't you going with you?"

Hearing Liu Chuxue's question, Jiang Lai shook his head, "You better leave quickly, it's too dangerous here, and it is difficult to protect yourself with your strength." ”

Liu Chuxue seemed to be a little disappointed, when she saw Jiang Lai just now, she was very happy in her heart, feeling that as long as she followed Jiang Lai, not only would her safety be guaranteed, but she might also get some benefits, who knew that Jiang Lai would drive them away.

"Jiang Lai, here ......"

"Sister, don't say it. ”

Liu Chuxue still wanted to fight for it, but was interrupted by Liu Chuqing on the side, "Listen to Jiang, it's really dangerous for us to stay here, you have also seen it, even those Saint Realm powerhouses can't escape, let alone us." After a pause, she looked at Jiang Lai's angular face, "You should be careful." ”

"I know. ”

Liu Chuxue, who was forcibly dragged away by Liu Chuqing, was a little dissatisfied, and after walking not far away, she couldn't help but complain, "Sister, why are you pulling me away? Such a good opportunity, did you give up it in vain? Do you know that this place has a history of thousands of years, as long as we can get a little benefit, we can bring the Ling Yan faction back to life." ”

"Sister, I advise you to dispel this idea, let's not talk about whether Jiang Lai is willing to help us, anyway, I don't want to use him. He is our friend, and it would be more than worth the loss to arouse his disgust. ”

Liu Chuxue sighed helplessly, "Sister, you are still too naïve, if we don't fight for some things, then there is no chance at all." You have to remember that friends are important, but we should also value interests. Only interests can make the Lingyan faction rise again. ”

"Whatever you say, I don't agree with your approach anyway. ”

"No!" Liu Chuxue suddenly stopped, "I'm still a little unwilling, it's rare to come here, I can't waste such a good opportunity in vain." ”

Liu Chuxue frowned and said, "Then what do you want?"

"Since Jiang Lai refuses to help us, it's up to us. With that, she turned and walked back.
