Chapter 455: Negotiation

"Are you wondering why I didn't kill you?" The white-haired old man seemed to have guessed what Fang Yan was thinking, and asked with a smile.

Fang Yan nodded a little blankly, but his heart was very nervous.

"If it had been before, I would have killed you as soon as you stepped into that passage." The white-haired old man said expressionlessly: "But this time is different from the past, no one has been here for too long, so I am not in a hurry to kill you." ”

The corners of Fang Yan's mouth twitched, and he didn't know if what the other party said was true or not.

"It's just a little surprising to me that after I released those coercions, you still have the courage to press this pressure forward, which I didn't expect."

Fang Yan smiled bitterly, naturally he wouldn't tell him that he had done this because he had used the coercion as a trap in this cave. If he had known that there were people in this cave, he would have done that, it is really a matter of two words.

"But it also saved your life, if you tried to escape, I'm afraid you would have died directly under my pressure."

"Shhh

Fang Yan gasped, looked at the old man dumbfounded, and swallowed hard. Even he didn't expect that he would be so lucky to escape.

Thinking of what the other party had just said, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of shock.

He had been here for too long and no one had come, so didn't that mean that he had been trapped in this cave for a long time?

"Boy, what are you thinking?" Looking at Fang Yan's dripping eyes, the white-haired old man frowned.

"The juniors are wondering how long it has been since the seniors have been here." Seeing that the other party took the initiative to ask, Fang Yan's heart was crossed, and he asked this question directly.

"For how long?" The white-haired old man muttered, his gaze blurred and disgraceless.

After a while, he said lightly: "Even those who were seriously injured in my hands have turned into white bones, how long do you say I have been in this cave?" ”

Hearing this, Fang Yan was stunned at first, but then became shocked.

He had forgotten about it.

Looking at the white bones outside, they have been dead for at least ten years. Doesn't that mean that this old man has been trapped here for more than ten years or more?

"Senior......" Fang Yan looked at him in disbelief, his lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.

With the other party's strong strength, how is it possible that he will be trapped here for more than ten years?

"Can't believe it?" The white-haired old man glanced at him, a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he knew what he was thinking.

Fang Yan nodded blankly, if this is the case, then with his strength, wouldn't it be impossible to leave here? Wouldn't I have to be trapped here for more than ten years?

Thinking of this possibility? He couldn't help but shudder. If he was really trapped in such a place for more than ten years, it would be better to let him die under the pressure of this old man.

Thinking of this, Fang Yan also let out, and said directly: "Senior, with your strength, how could you have been trapped in this cave for so long?" ”

"Who wants to stay in this place if they can get out?" The old man sighed softly.

Fang Yan's brows furrowed tightly, and he asked, "I remember what my predecessor said just now, there seems to be other exits here." ”

"So what?" The old man glanced at him and sneered, "Even I can't get out of that exit, do you think you can get out?" ”

Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then his face became a little pale.

Don't...... What's really so dangerous about that exit?

"Seniors, can you tell the juniors, what is the danger of that exit?" The dialect's voice trembled slightly.

The old man didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

The dialect was a little hairy to him, but at this time, he had no scruples in his heart. Since both horizontal and vertical are dead, it seems that there is no difference in how to die.

"Senior ......" Seeing that the old man just looked at him and didn't speak, Fang Yan had to remind him out loud.

The white-haired old man withdrew his gaze from him and said, "Do you remember that giant tiger?" ”

"Giant Tiger?" Seeing that the other party did not answer his own question, but asked about the giant tiger again, Fang Yan's heart became a little angry. It's just that although he is angry in his heart, how dare he show it in front of this old man. Although he had no scruples in his heart, he didn't dare to offend a terrifying senior in such a blatant way. At that moment, he had to nod helplessly and said, "Of course the juniors remember." ”

However, the old man's next words made him stunned.

"If you want to get out, you'll have to go through it."

Fang Yan was stunned, standing in place in a daze, unable to say a word.

The white-haired old man glanced at him, sneered, and said, "That beast is guarding the position of the exit, if you don't go out, it's okay, if you want to go out, it will attack you mercilessly, do you think you can still get out?" ”

Fang Yan looked at him in a daze, his face stunned. It seems that I didn't expect that such a result would be obtained in the end. With his little strength, how could he be the opponent of that giant tiger?

"Could it be...... Am I really going to be trapped here? Fang Yan muttered, and then asked the white-haired old man, "Senior, aren't even you its opponent?" ”

The old man smiled sadly, sighed, and said, "You should be able to see that I have suffered a lot of injuries, right?" ”

Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand the meaning of his words for a while, but soon, he thought of something, looked at his pale face and shouted: "Senior, you mean to say that you were injured by that giant tiger?" ”

The old man nodded lightly and did not speak.

"I wonder when my predecessor was injured?" Fang Yan asked.

"Ten years ago."

"Ten years ago?" Fang Yan was taken aback, and looked at him with a shocked face, his face was obviously a little wrong now, hadn't he recovered yet?

After a moment of hesitation, he asked the question.

"In this cave, there is no elixir and no medicinal materials, so it is not easy to recover." The white-haired old man smiled bitterly, and he didn't know if he knew that he couldn't go out from here again, and he didn't care about the somewhat disrespectful generosity of the dialect, and said: "Ten years have passed, and my injury has barely recovered thirty percent." ”

"Sancheng?" The corners of Fang Yan's mouth twitched fiercely, it took ten years to recover from thirty percent of his injuries, and it can be imagined from this alone that he was injured multiple times at that time.

Fang Yan sat down a little weakly, his face like ashes.

Before this, he was still holding on to a fluke, thinking that he must have a chance to get out of this cave. However, the truth is cruel in front of him, the exit is guarded by the giant tiger, and if he wants to get out, I'm afraid it's impossible.

The white-haired old man looked at him quietly, with a thoughtful expression.

"Boy, you don't have to be discouraged." After a while, the old man suddenly said, "This cave is much bigger than you think, and maybe there are other exits." ”

"Huh?" Fang Yan's eyes lit up, and he was surprised: "Other exits? ”

The old man nodded and said, "That giant tiger may only be guarding one of the exits, or maybe it is not the exit of this cave at all. If you look closely, you might find something. ”

"Looking?" The corners of Fang Yan's eyes jumped, and he said nervously: "Senior, you mean, you can't be sure if the exit you found is an exit?" ”

The old man shook his head.

Fang Yan's face showed a sense of joy, and he asked, "You haven't traveled all over this cave, I don't know if there are other exits to this cave?" ”

"Soon after I entered here, I found the cave, and I got into a fight with the beast, and then I was wounded. Where is the ability to find other outlets? ”

Fang Yan's pupils shrank, and he secretly said that the old man's injuries were so serious, he didn't even have the ability to walk?

"So, my predecessor hasn't been out of this cave since he was injured?"

The old man nodded, looking at Fang Yan quietly, his eyes flickering slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Looking at the old man's gaze that was obviously hiding something, Fang Yan's heart jumped slightly, and secretly said that the reason why this old man didn't kill himself was because he wanted to let himself find an exit? Want to get him out of here?

It seems like it's a real possibility. However, even if this was the case, he didn't take it seriously.

If he really wants to find an exit, he will definitely have to leave here, as long as he leaves here, this old man is no matter how terrifying he is, he will not worry.

"What the seniors and juniors don't understand is that since the giant tiger has seen me before, why didn't he kill me?" Fang Yan asked in confusion.

"You didn't get to the exit, so it won't hurt you." The old man explained lightly.

"But, you said he was at the exit, but I didn't see the exit at the spot where I met it."

"How many people are still alive in this cave, this giant tiger knows better than anyone else. The reason why it dared to leave that exit was because I was the only living person in the cave, and knew that I would not go there again. The old man sneered and said, "And the reason why it came to you is to make sure that there are really outsiders in this cave." ”

Fang Yan suddenly realized, nodded thoughtfully, and after a while, he asked again: "Senior, you said that you are the only living person in this cave?" ”

"Now there are two."

"How do seniors know?" Fang Yan looked puzzled.

"Because you're the first human I've seen in ten years." The old man said, "No one has entered this cave for at least ten years. And the people who came in before either died at my hands or at the hands of other demon beasts in this cave. ”

Fang Yan's pupils shrank, and he said solemnly: "Senior, I don't know what other demon beasts are in this cave?" ”
