After the ambusher confessed everything he knew, Shi Cheng, Tie Mian, and Wu Neng all fell into a fury of exodus.

According to the ambusher's confession, their employer did not transport the trafficked child to the restricted area once or twice, and the ambusher's employer seemed to have set up a mysterious formation somewhere under the forbidden area, and every three days ten pairs of boys and girls over the age of eight and under the age of twelve were sacrificed to maintain the existence of the formation, and the final impetus for the formation was said to require the sacrifice of the lives of one hundred pairs of young children, half male and half female, and the age was also limited to eight years old and under twelve years old.

Wu Neng's heart was on fire, and he could no longer contain the anger in his heart, he kicked heavily on the ambusher's right leg, and with the ambusher's screams, his right leg had been broken by Wu Neng's kick.

"Big ...... Heroes spare their lives...... I...... I also take money to do things...... I beg you...... Put it on the next life path...... Tomorrow...... There will be a reward......" the ambusher cried.

"Let me ask you another question, where are the hundred pairs of young children who have been brought in recently been imprisoned by you?" Shi Cheng asked expressionlessly.

"This ...... To tell you the truth, our people in Yanfeng Village are mainly responsible for the task of selling young children in the city and guarding the outer secret passages in the forbidden area, I only know that after the people outside send those children, the employer will transport them to the core area to take care of them, and the person in charge of guarding them is a group of professional killers hired by the employer, and there is no business in our Yanfeng Village. ”

"How far is the core area you are talking about from this dungeon? In which direction? Shi Cheng asked, slightly adding a little force to his feet.

"Oops! Oops! The hero spares his life, I said, I said, go through the secret passage over there, and keep walking, which is the core area. Somewhere above the core area there is a small waterfall on the ground, and near the waterfall there is a red willow tree that you won't forget at a glance. The ambusher begged for mercy as he stretched out his other hand and pointed to the entrance to the passage southwest of the dungeon.

Shi Cheng and Tie faced each other, and both of them showed a look in their eyes.

"Another question, where is the formation that you call for the life support of young children set up?"

"This ...... Actually, I just know that there is such a formation, and the specific location of my little minions will definitely not know, but that formation must be in the core area. Because I have never seen it when I follow my brothers and sisters around the periphery on weekdays. ”

Shi Cheng still didn't seem to believe this set of arguments immediately, he stepped on the ambusher's hand and tortured a few more words, and saw that the ambusher who was about to pass out in pain couldn't say anything new, so he let go of the ambusher's hand.

The ambusher saw that Shi Cheng let go of the big foot that was stepping on his left hand, and a sense of happiness welled up in his heart for the rest of his life, "Thank you three heroes, thank you three heroes, as long as you spare my life, there is no problem in how to repay me!" ”

"Let you go, do you want to go back and report to your employer?" Shi Cheng's eyes narrowed, he leaned down a little lower, and asked the ambusher one last question, "You just said that you are from a sect called Yanfeng Village, right?" ”

The ambusher didn't know why Shi Cheng asked this, so he had to nod honestly, and then hurriedly raised his hand and swore an oath: "Please rest assured, I swear to the sky, if I reveal the whereabouts of the three to my employer, I will be thundered and killed!" ”。

However, Shi Cheng didn't care about the ambusher's oath at all, and he continued to speak to himself.

"I don't know how long you've been hired, but a little estimate shows that there are more than three hundred young children brought in through your Yanfeng Village. I can't say it, but the number of young children who have been sent in by your hands has already been in double digits. ”

A chill and fear drifted through the ambusher's heart, and under the tremendous pressure brought by Shi Cheng, his head could no longer turn, and the ambusher stammered, "This ...... Small...... The little ones are only at the behest of the elders and employers......"

Shi Cheng shook his head and sneered: "A person like you, even if you put it in those countries that have abolished the death penalty in the legal code, is it a villain who everyone can be punished in the mouth of the people, isn't it?" ”

"I ......" The ambusher's pupils shrank suddenly, because in the next breath, he saw that Shi Cheng's hand was burning with a raging fire, and the fire danced in Shi Cheng's palm as if it could shake the earth, and in an instant, it turned into an incomparably sharp fiery steel knife.

The fear of death gripped the ambusher's heart tightly, and the instinct for survival made him want to scream, but before his body could react, the flame steel knife in Shi Cheng's hand slashed through the ambusher's neck, causing the ambusher's consciousness to fall into darkness forever.

"Someone like you...... Only death! ”

The flame in Shi Cheng's hand disappeared, and the young man in soap clothes slowly stood up.

Shi Cheng looked at the two companions behind him, and said with a serious face: "These monks came here, obviously specifically to ambush the three of us, although I don't know why they only sent these little minions over, but it is not difficult to see that we have been discovered by the master of the secret passage, and now without further ado, we have to leave as soon as possible." ”

Iron Mask looked at the passage to the southwest and muttered, "I hope it's still too late, at least the surviving children must be rescued." ”

……

Walking on the road leading to the altar, Ma Guo carefully found that Ling Xuan today seemed to be a lot more silent than usual.

After meeting with Xiu Lin and others, Ma Guo took everyone to the vicinity of the small waterfall, and then, in front of everyone, Ma Guo opened the entrance to the secret passage under the waterhole of the small waterfall.

Ma Guo implored Xiu Lin to lead the team to guard the outside of the secret passage, keeping an eye on the situation at the entrance of the secret passage, and at the same time revealed to Xiu Lin the situation of the Water Gate Array arranged at the entrance of the secret passage and the method of avoiding the Water Gate Array, and agreed with Xiu Lin that if he received Ma Guo's summons for help, he would bring the elite men down to support.

Ma Guo didn't want Xiu Lin to enter the secret passage together mainly because of the following three considerations.

First, the entrance to the secret passage at the small waterfall is the most important external passage, although it is blocked by the water gate array, but for insurance, it is still necessary to have a master sitting here, just in case.

Second, the sacrificial ceremony that will be carried out in a while is too cruel in the eyes of ordinary people, although Xiu Lin has also helped the Chamber of Commerce deal with many shady things before, but people's hearts are the most difficult to control, and now Shi Cheng and Tie Mian are nowhere to be found, Ma Guo doesn't want the last remaining half-step grandmaster in the advance team to have something to do.

Third, it was a request entrusted to them by the leaders of the Rainforest Continent Branch of the Fruit Tree Chamber of Commerce, they didn't want Xiu Lin, a person who served as an elder in the Five Lakes Alliance, to have too much intersection with the force behind Elder Ling, I heard that this was also the request that Elder Ling took the initiative to make, and the specific reason was unknown, and Xu Fengshi naturally didn't know the inside story. Ma Guo guessed that among the members of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce who came to Kenbin City, only Yang Qingwen might know some of the twists and turns.

Although Xiu Lin was unhappy in her heart, she had cooperated with the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce for a long time after all, so she finally agreed.

Xu Fengshi watched Ma Guo skillfully open the secret passage under the small pool, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart Ma Guo's acting skills, the last time he discovered the secret passage here with Shi Cheng and the Du family, Ma Guo's reaction can be said to have deceived everyone, and no one noticed that Ma Guo was the one who knew the most about this underground secret passage among the people present at that time.

Entering the strange bronze column, Xu Fengshi saw the stone slabs carved one, two, and three on the inside of the bronze column. Ma Guo did not press the slate on the first floor, but reached out and pressed the slate engraved with "two". Seeing the stone slab engraved with "two", Xu Fengshi was in a trance in his heart, the last time he came here, if he hadn't happened to encounter Du Zhi's tragic death, maybe Shi Cheng would have taken everyone present at the time into the second floor to find out.

The bronze pillar stopped on the second floor, and after the door in front of him opened, what caught Xu Feng's eyes was Elder Ling's handsome and somewhat thin face.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce, the sacrifice is about to begin, please come with me, the altar is over there." Ling Xuan looked a little depressed, he didn't greet everyone too much, and after meeting him, he turned around and played the role of a guide.

"Please come with me......"

Ling Xuan's voice sounded in the dark stone room, like a urging sound coming from the netherworld.
