Chapter 197: The Underworld
Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue walked along the air-raid shelter, full of nervousness about the unknown situation they were about to encounter. As they walked through a winding passage, a shocking scene unfolded in front of them.
They came to a huge underworld, with a huge castle standing in front of them. Towering into the sky, the castle is magnificent and exudes mystery. Above the castle hangs a huge gem that radiates a brilliant light that illuminates the entire underworld.
Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue were dumbfounded, staring at the scene in front of them in disbelief. Their hearts were filled with wonder and curiosity. The existence of this underworld is simply beyond their imagination.
Qin Ming gathered his thoughts, looked at Hu Xiaoyue, and said softly, "What kind of place is this?" How did we get here? This castle and that jewel must have a special meaning. Let's be careful, don't act rashly, and observe the situation before making a decision. ”
Hu Xiaoyue nodded in agreement, she also felt the unusualness of this underground world. The two slowly approached the castle, carefully observing their surroundings and preparing for the next challenge.
Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue cautiously approached the castle and found that there was no one around, but they were still vigilant. When they came to the gate, they found it hidden. Qin Ming gently pushed open the door, Hu Xiaoyue was a little nervous, and involuntarily pulled Qin Ming's arm.
Seeing Hu Xiaoyue's nervousness, Qin Ming patted her hand comfortingly, signaling her not to worry. They entered the castle slowly, with light steps and trying not to make a sound. Before they reached the square in the castle, they heard a commotion coming from that direction. Qin Ming made a shushing gesture on his lips and signaled Hu Xiaoyue to be quiet.
Hu Xiaoyue pulled Qin Ming and shook her head to indicate not to approach. She was frightened by the noise and feared that it would be dangerous. However, Qin Ming motioned for them to go and see the situation, expressing his eagerness to explore. Hu Xiaoyue had no choice but to follow, she didn't dare to stay here alone, after all, they were a strange underground world.
Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue cautiously continued to move in the direction of the square, always vigilant. Their hearts are full of curiosity and nervousness, and they don't know what kind of adventures and challenges they will encounter in this underground world.
Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue cautiously approached the square and witnessed a tense scene. The square was filled with crowds, and several of them were standing in the center of the square, surrounded by soldiers-like people protecting them. Others seem to be besieging them, or more precisely, negotiating with them.
Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue quickly found a hidden corner, where they hid and secretly observed the situation. They could feel the tension in the square, and people's expressions were full of anxiety and nervousness. The besiegers seem to have strong grievances and demands for the ornate figures, and the soldiers try their best to protect these mysterious figures.
Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue's mood became nervous, they understood that this underground world was full of unknowns and dangers.
Just as Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue were about to leave, a person in the center of the square suddenly turned his head and nodded in their direction. A bad premonition surged in Qin Ming's heart, and he immediately realized that the situation might have changed. He hurriedly pulled Hu Xiaoyue and turned around to leave.
However, the moment they turned around, they were surprised to find several men in soldier clothes appearing behind them, holding heavy swords pointing at them. Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue's faces instantly became solemn, and they understood that they were in a predicament.
Qin Ming quickly thought about the strategy of coping, he knew that now was not the time for conflict, they had to deal with it calmly. He tried to communicate with the soldiers, looking for a way to solve the problem. His voice was calm and firm: "We are here to explore this underground world, and there is no hostility. We hope that any misunderstandings can be resolved peacefully. ”
The soldiers were expressionless and did not respond to Qin Ming's words. They clenched the swords in their hands tightly and gradually approached Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue. Hu Xiaoyue held Qin Ming's hand tightly, she felt fear, but she also knew that she had to stay calm and not let fear affect her judgment.
Qin Ming's eyes were firm and composed, and he knew that he had to protect himself and Hu Xiaoyue now. Their fate hangs in the balance, and they must look for an opportunity to get out of it.
Qin Ming frowned tightly, and quickly thought about the plan in his heart. He understood that with so many soldiers, it would be difficult for him to cope on his own. He was reluctant to put Hu Xiaoyue in danger, but there seemed to be no better option at the moment.
He took a deep breath and decided to take a moment to catch himself and act on the opportunity. He whispered to Hu Xiaoyue: "Hu Xiaoyue, the current situation is not optimistic. I'll try to protect you, but we'll need to go with the flow for the time being. Wait for the right moment and then look for a chance to escape. ”
Although Hu Xiaoyue's heart was full of worries, she believed in Qin Ming's judgment. She nodded, signaling that she would cooperate with his plan. Together, the two of them put aside the thought of resistance and raised their hands to show that they were not hostile.
The soldiers quickly approached and surrounded Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue. Qin Ming remained calm, he knew that he could not provoke the soldiers now, and he had to maintain a cooperative attitude. He watched the soldiers' movements, looking for any opportunities they could exploit, while also secretly observing his surroundings for a possibility of escape.
At this moment, Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue both understood that their fate was in their own hands. They will wait and see, looking for opportunities to escape, and fight for more living space for themselves and each other.
The soldiers escorted Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue to the square, and Lord Arthur approached them, with a smug smile on his face. He pointed to Qin Ming and Hu Xiaoyue, and said to everyone in the square: "Look, this is a land person." Hearing Arthur's words, the people in the square began to talk about it, and there was no longer the aggressive atmosphere that it had before.
Qin Ming didn't know anything about Arthur's conversation with the people in the square, and he couldn't understand the language they spoke. However, Hu Xiaoyue was able to understand them because it was a Western language that she was familiar with. Qin Ming turned to Hu Xiaoyue and asked, "Can you understand what they're saying?" Hu Xiaoyue nodded, indicating that it was okay. She asked Qin Ming rhetorically, "Can't you understand what they say?" Qin Ming shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand.
Qin Ming's heart was at a loss, and he realized that he had fallen into a completely unfamiliar situation. He took a deep breath and decided to stay calm and try to find a way to communicate with Arthur and the people in the square. He understood that the most important thing now was to figure out their intentions and objectives in order to better fight for himself and Hu Xiaoyue a chance to survive.
