Chapter Eighty-Five: The Hospitable Wu Ke
Everyone looked at me with great surprise, but I could see a look of trust in their pupils, and there was no doubt that people were somewhat convinced by me at this moment. Cao Da frowned and asked me, "Then why do you think they deceived us?" What is their purpose? ”
I said solemnly, "I don't know. ”
Zhou Meiniang said helplessly: "Then this is not equivalent to saying nothing. ”
I said seriously: "I don't know what their purpose is, this is the most terrible thing, haven't you thought about it?" By the time we came, there was already a fort here, and it was clear that it had just been built. ”
Dongfang Qingyun said: "Maybe they used it to deal with others, but they just happened to run into us, and the reason why we let us live in this room is maybe so that we don't destroy his plan." ”
I couldn't help but ponder, what exactly is Wu Ke's plan? Why did he arrange for us to stay? Is this coming at us? If it is said. It's coming at us, then we are too face-saving, we can dispatch so many people, and even deliberately build a temporary fortress here, just to welcome us.
But if you think about it carefully, we in Wolong Academy have never provoked such a troublesome enemy at all.
I said solemnly, "In any case, I don't think this place is suitable for a long time. Guys, we don't need to get ourselves in unnecessary trouble, I have an idea to sneak away. My soil properties can help you easily dig a tunnel from here and leave, what do you think? ”
People didn't think much about it, they nodded their heads, and agreed to my plan, we are not people who want to cause trouble, this time we came here in the first place, in order to find that so-called resurrection technique, why should we get into trouble here? There are so many of them that even if we fight, we will certainly not be opponents.
As soon as I said it, everyone agreed with me very much, and I immediately switched to the earth attribute for myself, and then dug a big hole in the ground so that everyone could successfully enter this big hole.
People followed me, and as I had made some way through the cave, I noticed something I couldn't have imagined.
At the bottom of this, there are even steel plates, which protect the entire fortress like a protective film, so that people cannot come out of the ground and cannot escape from the ground.
Dongfang Qingyun was a little surprised, he couldn't help but say: "This protective measure is also too good, don't you look like new?" ”
I quickly removed the dirt and looked at the steel plate underneath, and saw that the steel plate was extremely clean, and generally speaking, the steel plate that had been left in the dirt for a long time must have been full of dirt in the cracks. But many of the cracks in this steel plate have not had time to be stained with mud, which means that these must have just been put in.
I was a little difficult for a while, because the metallic properties are different from the soil properties, and even if I switched to metallic, there was no way to easily dig through the steel plate in front of me. If we try to break it by force, we will definitely make a loud noise for Wu Ke and the others to hear, and if we do, we will be in danger.
Dongfang Qingyun said in a deep voice: "At the moment, it seems that we have no way to escape, so we can only go back first." However, what Jiang Cheng said is becoming more and more reasonable, they don't want us to leave at all, or they don't want a certain group of people to leave, but they are just bumped into by us. ”
I said worriedly: "I hope it's just that simple, and I hope what they're doing isn't too terrible, and it doesn't need to be to the point of killing people." ”
Everyone nodded, and we had to go back the way we came, and it was only a few minutes after we ran for our lives, but we returned to the original house and sealed the cave.
Everyone stayed awake all night, they all sat in the room and thought of a way, and when it was dawn, Wu Ke came over again, and when he came, he still had a warm smile on his face, and said to us with a smile: "A few friends, how did you rest yesterday?" ”
I squeezed out a smile and smiled with Wu Ke: "The rest is very good, compared to the previous wind and food, it feels really good to live here, thank you Brother Wu Ke for your hospitality, we are really sorry to disturb here." ”
Wu Keman said indifferently: "Anyway, there are so many places here, and the rooms are so big, what does it matter if they are given to you to live?" It's quite lonely for us to stay here on weekdays, and it's reassuring to have you here. ”
Cao Da said politely: "But if we stay here, we are also very embarrassed, I don't know if there is anything that can help us, so let's do our best to repay your kindness." ”
Wu Kehaha laughed and said: "It's really the first time I've seen such a loving person like you, most of them will be selfish and forget as soon as possible when they receive kindness." You have been trying to repay me, and to be honest, I have not done anything for you, but only provided a place to live. Speaking of brothers, what do you think of my place? ”
We were all stunned, not understanding whether Wu Ke was deliberately testing us, but Dongfang Qingyun thought about it and said to Wu Ke: "This place is very safe and comfortable, I don't know what kind of opinion Brother Wu Ke is mentioning?" ”
Wu Ke laughed and said, "Of course, it means that I am the opinion of the Ximen Society, I wonder if a few friends are interested in my Ximen Society?" I'll just tell you this, the brothers in the Ximen Society, all of them are brave and good at fighting, but they don't have very exquisite skills, and even the demon mirror was made by us with great difficulty. ”
I asked, confused, "What do you mean?" ”
He said with a smile: "The method you came by plane is something we couldn't have imagined, the plane seems to be simple to make, but it is extremely versatile. To be honest, I was already tempted at that time, and I hope to invite you to join the Simon Society. Of course, this is of your own free will, and I can only assure you that if you are willing to join the Simon Society, I will not treat you badly. ”
He's lying.
This guy's fortress is all improvized, how can he still have the leisure to ask to join their organization, he asked us to join the Simon Society, there must be other purposes.
I thought about it, so I pretended to be sorry and said, "I'm really sorry, we came here this time to do something, and we may leave when the matter is done." ”
He smiled after hearing this, and said, "It's okay, I'm a person who likes to make friends, and you guys came here to celebrate the Thirteen Fire Source Stones." As a friend, I'd like to give you a little advice, when you get out of the passage, go all the way to the west, and you can come across a canyon. On both sides of that canyon, you can dig up the thirteen fire source stones of Dazhurong. There are many, many people like you, who are also digging there, but remember, don't go through the safe distance, because there lives an undead phoenix that you can't afford to provoke. ”
I couldn't help but ask, "Is it just a random way for others to dig in?" ”
Wu Ke said with a smile: "Of course, the two sides don't disturb each other, and the immortal phoenix doesn't like to eat people." Well, I'll give you a map, and you'll be able to make it much easier for you in the past. ”
I was a little surprised to hear this, and Wu Ke really took out a map for us, and at the same time said to us sincerely: "I don't want you to remember my help, I only hope that you can remember in the future that you once made me a friend." ”
It's strange, as the saying goes, nothing to do is either a traitor or a thief, is this Wu Ke really like to make friends, so let us go so easily?
I scratched the back of my head and thought it was strange, but since they were willing to let us go, it was the best thing to do.
Wu Ke was extremely enthusiastic, and when we left, he sent a car to escort us to the exit of the secret passage.
Zhou Meiniang sat in the car and said with emotion: "That's really a good person, maybe we misunderstood him at the beginning." Perhaps, that fortress was built for someone else, we were just passing by, and he didn't intend to hurt us. ”
Everyone nodded, but at this time, Yun Mozi's face was pale and drenched in cold sweat, and he said tremblingly: "No, we almost gave him our lives." ”
