Chapter 220: Between the Confrontations
"'There's no way at all'? hehe, do you think I'll believe this nonsense??"
The short and fat man sneered, took out a black rune paper from his waist, and raised it at the white pheasant.
"I'll give you one last chance, will you change or not!?"
"No matter how many times you ask me, the answer is the same. The white pheasant stroked the diamond stud earring on his left ear, shook his head, and replied helplessly. "If you don't believe me, I can't help it. ”
"Hmph, just a little demon, it's shameless to give face?!Don't think I really can't do anything about you!"
The short and fat man said angrily, and then stretched out his hand, and the black rune paper in his hand immediately rushed straight to the door of the white pheasant's face! The latter hurriedly dodged, but suddenly felt that his feet sank, and when he looked down, he found that a black magic circle appeared on the ground under his feet, and a sticky mud swamp appeared in the magic circle, firmly sinking her legs in place.
"Smack!"
The rune paper that was dodged by the white pheasant passed through the white pheasant's side and was impartially pasted on the bamboo cage trapped by Qiu Laosan and others in the rear. The white pheasant suddenly felt that he was in a plan, and secretly said that something was wrong in his heart, and at this time, the ill-intentioned voice of the short and fat man came again:
"Hehe, since you refuse to cooperate with us, then you ...... I can only watch them die!"
"Wait, stop......!"
"Crackle!!"
Before the white pheasant could finish speaking, he saw a spark suddenly burst out from around the rune paper! The ignited flames immediately spread upwards along the railing of the bamboo cage, and quickly scorched the hanging hemp rope at the top of the bamboo cage, and the bamboo cage where Qiu Laosan and the others were located suddenly became precarious.
"Hahahaha...... Look, this is the consequence! These people died because you didn't save you!" The short and fat man laughed, looking like he was watching a good show, and seeing that Qiu Laosan and the others were about to be buried in front of him, the white pheasant's eyes changed suddenly.
"You're ......!"
The white pheasant glared at the short and fat man, and a faint orange light flashed in the diamond stud earring in her left ear, but at this moment, she suddenly noticed something, her expression moved slightly, and she looked up at the short and fat man.
"Rumble——!!
A loud roar suddenly fell from the sky, and before the short and fat man realized what was happening, he was slammed into the head by a black shadow, and the stirred dust instantly rose into the sky, enveloping everyone present.
"Hmm...... Ahem...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......!"
Jiang Yao covered his sore waist and couldn't help coughing, but he soon found that there seemed to be a lump of soft fat under his buttocks, and when he looked down, he found that a short and fat man in black was rolling his eyes, foaming at the mouth, and was pressed under him on all sides.
"Well, isn't that the ...... from the Black Shark brothers?!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yao hurriedly got up, covered his nose in the dust, and turned his head to look at the sides.
"What's going on? Where is this?"
The surrounding dust has not yet dispersed, but Lu Xingyue and Mu Jianyun are not visible in the visual range. Jiang Yao recalled the scene at the last moment before the cave collapsed, and suddenly became a little anxious.
"Jianyun!Xingyue!Are you there??Answer me......!!"
"Whew!"
Before the words fell, a dagger glowing with cold light instantly pierced through the dust and flew towards Jiang Yao's position!
"Be careful!"
At the critical moment, Mu Jianyun's figure suddenly appeared, threw Jiang Yao to the ground, and rolled to the side. Jiang Yao, who had escaped the catastrophe, raised his head and found that a tall black shadow appeared in front of the dust, rushing in the direction of the short and fat man who fell to the ground in front of him.
"Ahem...... Is Jiang Yao you??"
Lu Xingyue's voice sounded from behind Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao got up with Mu Jianyun's support, and sure enough, he found that Lu Xingyue appeared in the rear, and it seemed that he was also transported here safely.
"Xingyue, Jianyun...... It's great that you're all okay......" Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly remembered that there should be another person here, he hurriedly looked around, but he didn't find the gray-haired half-demon 'nothing'.
"Nothing"!?He—should he......
The scene in the cave quickly flashed through Jiang Yao's mind, and in the chaotic situation at that time, he actually didn't see whether 'Wu' was finally summoned here with them. And the mysterious force that pulled them to 'Wu' at the beginning also made Jiang Yao puzzled.
Speaking of which, at that time, there seemed to be something hot in my pocket?
Jiang Yao remembered something, reached out and touched his pocket, and found that lying inside was a jet-black stone the size of a duck's egg.
Hmmm? This seems to have been given to me by the ferry lady in the first place......
"Now is not the time to be in a daze, those two guys are not good!"
While Jiang Yao was shocked, Mu Jianyun did not relax his vigilance at all. He stared at the Black Shark Brothers, which loomed in the dust in front of him, but then, as if sensing something, he turned his head to look at the cliff behind him.
"Crack...... Crackle!'
A piercing sound of rope breaking, accompanied by a group of men's frightened cries for help, suddenly sounded from the cliff behind. Jiang Yao and the others hurriedly turned around to take a look, and in the dust that gradually dispersed, they found that Qiu Laosan and his men were trapped in a large bamboo cage, and this bamboo cage was hanging in the air of the cliff at this time, barely supported by a white air current.
"Everybody...... Help me...... I'm ...... I can't hold it!"
The white pheasant's shout woke Jiang Yao and the others from their shock, and the latter immediately reflected and hurriedly stepped forward to help. Under the traction of Lu Xingyue's light rope and white air current, the bamboo cage was finally moved back to the top of the cliff, and it broke up with a "clang".
"Whew...... Total, Total...... Saved!"
"Hmm...... My stomach ...... Sorry——!!"
Several of the men in the cage crawled out of the cage in confusion and hurriedly ran to the side to vomit, as if the previous moments had caused them to have a stress response. And Qiu Laosan was not as embarrassed as the others, but just stood aside hesitantly, looking at Jiang Yao and the others with some resignation.
"Little brother...... This time, it was you who saved us, thank you......"
Qiu Laosan lowered his head and quickly looked away, as if he didn't dare to meet the gaze of Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue.
"I thought you were ...... after falling into the canyon That's why I didn't go to you, this matter...... It's true that I'm not doing it properly, sorry. ”
"Oh, if you want to thank the white pheasant. If she hadn't helped stabilize you, you'd have fallen to your death. Lu Xingyue snorted coldly, and seemed to still be angry about the previous death of Qiu Laosan and the others.
"Yes, yes...... If it weren't for the few of us dragging our feet, Miss Bai Pheasant wouldn't have had so many worries and would have gotten out a long time ago. Qiu Laosan said, immediately turned his head and bowed ninety degrees to the white pheasant, and apologized repeatedly. "Miss Bai Pheasant's life-saving grace, I, Qiu Laosan, will never forget!"
"It's okay, you're all right. The white pheasant smiled, turned to look at Jiang Yao and Lu Xingyue, and then moved his gaze to Mu Jianyun behind Jiang Yao.
"Yunhe, it seems that you are okay...... That's great! You're okay with your foot injury?"
The white pheasant stepped forward, first glanced at Mu Jianyun's ankle, and then raised his eyes to look at Mu Jianyun's "ordinary" face, and asked with concern. At this time, Jiang Yao realized that Mu Jianyun's face was disguised as a "cloud crane" by a spell at some point, perhaps when it was full of dust before. However, seeing that Mu Jianyun did not reveal his identity in front of everyone else, Jiang Yao was also a little relieved in his heart.
"That's right...... I almost forgot!"
After being silent for a long time, Qiu Laosan suddenly woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly turned his head vigilantly to look at the two black shadows in front of him. I saw that the short and fat man was still foaming at the mouth and unconscious, while the tall man next to him carried the short and fat man on his back, and then raised his head and looked coldly at Jiang Yao, Qiu Laosan and the others.
"Brother Black Shark...... Qiu Laosan, are you trapped here because of the two of them?" Jiang Yao looked at the two people in front of him, and he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart about the events that had happened here before.
"Who are they if it's not!? This time, Lao Tzu will definitely not spare them!"
Qiu Laosan said viciously, stretched out his hand and pulled out the dagger that had just been stuck on the rock, and approached the "Black Shark Brothers" step by step.
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! It was Lao Tzu who fell into your trap because of his carelessness before, and now I want to return to you the things you did to us as they were!"
"Hmph, before boasting about Haikou, shouldn't you weigh how many catties and taels you have? ”
A word full of mockery came from not far away, Qiu Laosan's face sank, and he turned his head to look at the man in the suit who appeared on the stone steps in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Liu Mang...... hmph, when did your Liu family medicine store actually collude with the "Black Shark Gang"!?"
Qiu Laosan looked displeased, but he seemed to be a little jealous of the man in the suit, and did not continue to step forward.
"Hehe, our Liu family medicine store is open for business, but I didn't say that the guest can only be your family. Liu Mang smiled and stretched out his hand, twisting the small mustache on his lips, and then looked at Jiang Yao and the others behind Qiu Laosan.
"Ouch, aren't these the two little brothers I met before? I didn't expect you to make it to this 'last hurdle', it's really good luck. Liu Mang smiled politely, but there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but Jiang Yao didn't react much to this, and he didn't answer.
"My brother is injured and needs treatment, so let's suspend this cooperation. The tall man turned around expressionlessly, whispered to Liu Mang, and then hurried away. And Liu Mang didn't say anything, just shrugged his shoulders and didn't stop him.
"Wait! Don't ...... Run"
"I said Qiu Laosan, haven't you figured out the situation yet?" Liu Mang snorted coldly, and stretched out his hand to point at the towering red stone pillar not far away.
"All of us here, including you and me, can't get out. ”
