Chapter 35: Trapped in the Basement
Everyone took off their thick clothes and walked slowly along a small bridge in front of them to the other side of the lake. The weeping willows on the shore are clinging, and there is a wooden house in the depths of the faint green shadow. I wondered, is there still people living here?
"Could it be that the ancient divine beast Bai Ze lives here?" Mud Meng bent down to pick up the rope that had fallen on the ground, carefully wrapped it and handed it to me.
Kurayoshikage said that he would investigate first, and then rushed towards the wooden house first.
"Be careful!" When everyone followed outside the wooden house, Su Che suddenly reminded Kurayoshi Shadow's back.
At that moment, a sharp hiss pierced the sky, and I wondered what kind of living creature could make such a strange chirp, but Kurayoshikage, who was pushing the door of the wooden house hard, disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"How so? Was he sucked out? Ni Meng, who was following behind, nervously grabbed the corner of my clothes and asked in a low voice.
I didn't know how to answer, and looked at Su Che suspiciously, hoping to get an answer from him.
Su Che shook his head at us and signaled that he didn't understand what was going on, and I subconsciously moved to Jiuli's side and held Willow's hand tightly on his back.
"Don't move around now, if we are separated, we will be in a more dangerous situation." Xiao Ran gathered everyone together, and then continued: "What should we do next, we have to take care of it, and we can't move blindly like a headless fly anymore." ”
As everyone sat down on the lawn, I looked at Su Che and hesitated for a long time, but still asked out loud, "Do you know something?" ”
Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Su Che, Su Che's face froze, and then he hooked the corners of his mouth and laughed dryly, "What does Mrs. Sister-in-law mean by this?" ”
"I don't mean anything else, I just think it's a little strange, you found something wrong with the mountain wall outside, and you reminded you just before Kurayoshi Shadow disappeared, so I'm very confused, I want to ask if you know something." Thinking that Su Che and Willow had a lot of friendship, he shouldn't pose any threat to us, so he said truthfully.
Su Che was silent for a while, then stood up suddenly, and said to the wooden house next to him: "We are here to find the ancient divine beast Bai Ze for the purpose of saving people, and we have no intention of offending the masters, please forgive us." ”
Is there really someone in the house?
The eyes of the people looked at the hut without blinking, and after a few moments, there was a soft creak, and the door of the hut opened, but no one came out.
"You things who don't know whether to live or die are really here for Bai Ze again. To tell you the truth, all the people who have been looking for Bai Ze have stayed here all these years, and no one can leave alive. An old man's voice came from inside the cabin.
I suddenly felt my breath tight, and I thought to myself, this place is indeed inhabited. Just who will this person be? Listening to his tone, could it be the guardian of the divine beast?
Without waiting for me to ask, Xiao Ran said impatiently towards the wooden house, "Who are you?" Don't pretend to be a ghost here, come out quickly! ”
"Huangkou Xiaoer, this is not polite, it seems that I have to discipline you well for your father." There was a clear hint of anger in the old man's voice.
Xiao Lian, who was on the side, heard the words and grabbed Xiao Ran's mother's shoulder, and said indifferently: "My mother and I are here, so I won't bother your old man about the lesson." ”
"Humph! You must die for trespassing on the forbidden land, but there has been no living person to talk to me for many years, so ......" The voice paused, and then said leisurely, "I will have a good time with you." ”
"You want ......" was just halfway through the words when his feet suddenly went weightless. After a violent tumbling, several of us fell into a dimly lit basement.
I was still a little dizzy when Xiao Ran helped me up, and hurriedly turned around to look for Willow, but I stumbled under my feet and fell back to the ground. There was a little pain under his body, and he moved his body slightly, but he heard Jiuli exclaim: "Oh no, the second master is gone!" ”
"Didn't you carry him on your back, how could it be gone?" I asked anxiously as I fumbled on the ground.
Jiuli replied with a crying voice: "I don't know, it was still on my back before I fell just now." ”
Xiao Ran helped his father and mother up, looked at the surrounding environment again, and said calmly: "It seems that we are in trouble." ”
"Where's Vero...... Where's Willow......" I cried out as I sat down on the ground and looked at the small space in front of me, cried out in almost despair.
"And Su Che, Su Che is gone!" Ni Meng folded his hands and counted for a long time before he suddenly shouted loudly.
When she said this, I found that there were only six people in the dim basement, including me and Ni Meng, Jiu Li, Xiao Ran, and Xiao Ran's father.
"Hahahahahaha...... Didn't you come here with all the hard work to rob my baby Bai Ze, tell you, I do have Bai Ze, and Bai Ze's blood can live and die flesh and bones is indeed true. With a squeaky sound of wheels, the mysterious master finally appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
I saw that he was about sixty years old, with white hair and hair, and was sitting in a wooden wheelchair in a coarse cloth robe, and he glanced at everyone contemptuously, and slightly hooked an unfathomable smile.
"What about the Verlos, where did you get Verlo?" I asked, getting up and pointing at the tip of his nose.
Hearing this, the old man stroked his beard and said leisurely, "Vero? Is it alive or dead? Well, but it doesn't make a difference, you're all going to die anyway, and I'll bury you together later. ”
"I just want some Bai Ze blood to save my father-in-law, can you let us go, as long as we save people, we will leave here immediately."
"No way!" After the old man finished speaking firmly, he pushed the wheelchair and left.
Are we all going to die here?
According to the old man's words, all the people who came to look for Bai Ze before were also dead, so did my father encounter the same situation when he came here twenty years ago?
"What are we going to do now?" After his gaze went back and forth between me and Xiao Ran a few times, he tilted his head and asked.
"If he wanted to kill us, he feared that we would already be dead. Now we have to adapt to the environment here as soon as possible before he makes a move on us, and in terms of numbers and martial arts, this old man must not be our opponent. Xiao Ran simply lifted the hem and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Yi'er, if it is a last resort, we can kill that person, after all, we can't ignore the overall situation for the sake of one person's life." Xiao Ran's mother slowly sat beside Xiao Ran and said softly.
Kill that person? She meant to kill the old man?
If that's the case, can we still find Bai Ze, and can we still save Vero?
"No, you can't kill him!" I suddenly stopped by saying that although I knew that everyone could not protect themselves, I still selfishly hoped that I could save Verlo, and if the old man died, Vero would definitely not be saved.
"This fringed girl, you should be able to see everything Yi'er has done for you, and Weishenme still insists on saving a person who is already dead?" Xiao Ran's mother glared at me with some anger.
Even she could see Xiao Ran's intentions......
"Xiuyun, don't ask about the children's affairs, now help Yi'er think of ideas, we can't stay trapped in this basement all the time!" Xiao Lian grabbed her shoulders and said softly.
