Chapter Seventy-Nine: Underground Tunnels
Under the horror of the people, they were more worried. Huaiyuan actually disappeared under our noses for no reason. And we don't have any clues at this time, how can we not be frightened.
Suddenly, a quarrel came from the side room, attracting everyone's attention. After a few of us looked at each other, Mu Feng and I quietly stepped forward and stood at the door, carefully observing.
This was the room where the dwarf was, and the sound of a conversation between the two could be heard inside:
"I have to tell them."
"You're crazy, if you say it, you'll be exposed."
"Then I can't sit idly by, that's a human life!"
"When you have an accident, how can no one pity you and your life?"
"But I can't inflict my suffering on others."
"If you do this, you will be the one who dies, and he will not let you go."
Mu Feng and I were confused, but the people in the room stopped. After half a ring, he continued to say again: "Life and death are fate!" Saying, it doesn't necessarily mean that I die, isn't there still you! ”
"With his skills, I'm not sure I can beat him."
"Sooner or later, I have to face that moment, I can't live like this forever."
"Hey, you... Hello do it yourself! As the words fell, there was a heavy sigh.
Immediately afterward, the door was opened from the inside, and it was the man in the robe who came out. He wasn't surprised to see us standing at the door, but there was a palpable hint of displeasure in his eyes. Then he snorted coldly and left.
Mu Feng and I glanced at each other, and we both saw in each other's eyes the embarrassment of being caught after doing something bad.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the voice of a dwarf coming from inside: "Guests outside the door, please come in!" ”
I looked at Mu Feng suspiciously, and then several of us walked into the room one after another.
When he saw us come in, the gnomes greeted us. After looking around the door for a moment, he cautiously closed the door and said, "There are still five minutes left, I'll make a long story short." Listen, your brother was taken away by the owner of this little shop. Under the counter of this small shop, there was an underground passage that led to the hut in the back mountain, where he should have been locked up by now. You rush to save him now, and maybe it's too late. But one thing to keep in mind is that the boss here is a very difficult person to deal with, so remember not to fight him. ”
After the words fell, there was a knock at the door: "Okay, no." ”
The dwarf glanced out the door and said to us, "Okay, I've said everything I need to say, let's go!" ”
"You—" I was about to ask.
He seemed to read my thoughts, and interrupted, "You don't have to ask anything, and I won't tell you anything." I've done my best, and the rest is up to you, so let's go! ”
Mu Feng was a little angry and was about to speak, but I stopped him: "Let's go." ”
We were about to leave, but we heard the person behind us sigh heavily, and said, "I hope you can thank me for saving your brother's life, please don't talk about tonight's incident." ”
Hearing this, I turned around and bowed to him, and replied, "Don't worry, we won't say a word more about tonight." Thank you for telling us that we will be rewarded for your deliverance if we have the opportunity. ”
After the words fell, a few of us turned around and left.
Back in the room, He Ling asked aloud, "Is this man's words credible?" ”
Mu Feng shook his head on the side: "I think Boss Zhang is more reliable." ”
After a long silence, everyone turned their eyes to me. Liu Qiming opened his mouth and asked me, "How is it?" Who to believe? ”
"No one believes, but we believe that what we see is believing." Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, I opened my mouth and said, "Mu Feng, you want to find a way to lure people away, let's go to the underground secret passage first." ”
Mu Feng nodded and turned to leave, and He Ling followed out.
About a quarter of an hour later, I saw He Ling running back in a hurry: "Hurry up, Mu Feng can lead away for an hour at most." ”
I nodded, and a few of them ran out.
Mu Feng, this kid, don't say anything else, this kind of thing has always been handy.
When I came to the counter, it was empty. He Ling stood at the doorway to let the wind out, and a few of us looked around in front of the counter.
This place doesn't look like there is a mechanism, and after half a ring, He Ling turned around and urged: "Have you found it, hurry up." ”
"Here!" Suddenly, there was an excited voice from the side.
Everyone followed the sound and looked over, and at this time, Feng Feng's hand was holding a protruding carved flower in front of the counter. And in front of her, it was also under the counter, a flat open space, and now a small piece of floor was sunken in. Except for a few steps at the entrance, it was pitch black below.
Qu Xin smiled at Yu Feng and said appreciatively: "It's amazing." I also reached out and patted her shoulder with some excitement, and walked forward.
Several other people followed, and Liu Qiming walked at the end and put the door panel back in its place.
As the door was shut, it was pitch black underneath.
After half a ring, everyone gradually adapted to the environment. After walking forward in the dark for a long time, there was some light faintly visible at the end of the corridor. And the birthplace of these lights is a double-wide wooden door.
I was a little nervous standing in front of me, and suddenly I was scared to see what was behind the wooden door. Seeing that I was a little hesitant, Qu Xin stepped forward and shook my hand vigorously, looked at me and said firmly, "It's going to be fine." ”
I didn't open my mouth. Then, Liu Qiming stepped forward and opened the door one step ahead of me.
The sunlight outside the door was so bright that I didn't open my eyes for a long time. After looking at it for a moment, I realized that it was actually an open space outside, surrounded by high stone walls, and there was a small hut to the southeast, which was simple and desolate.
We barely stopped for a moment, and hurried towards the hut. Pushing open the door, a strong smell of decay hit the face, and the choking man could barely breathe. After settling down, I took a closer look and found that the bones in this room were piled up like a mountain, layer upon layer.
Although a few of us were able to break out of the pile of dead people, we were still shocked and stunned when we looked at the scene in front of us.
After a while, it was Liu Qiming who reacted first: "Huaiyuan is there!" ”
Following his voice, we looked ahead. At this time, Huai Yuan was lying on the stone and soil bed in the innermost part of the room, his eyes closed, and his face was pale and haggard.
But it seemed that my breathing was still steady, and my heart fell back with me, and he was still alive.
