Chapter 64: Investigation
At the entrance of the cave under the rift, after reconfirming that there were no black-clothed people outside, everyone's faces became heavy, and even Shen Bing, who had always been expressionless, frowned on the side.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, the next rescue has nothing to do with you, you don't have to be involved, even if Yi Lou blames you in the end, it won't implicate you, so if any of you want to leave, you can leave with confidence, and the three of Qi will never stop you."
After being silent for a while, Qi Baili looked at the people present very seriously, and his tone was very heavy.
"Brother Qi, what are you talking about, how could I, Zhao Xuan, leave you and let you face the danger alone, you two said yes?"
Zhao Xuan hurriedly spoke, his face was full of anxiety, Li Ying on the side also looked at Qi Baili, although the others did not speak, but from their firm eyes, they had already indicated their position.
"Brother Baili, don't you think that Wang Yi's appearance is too coincidental, hasn't anyone thought that this is likely to be a trap, a trap to lure us into falling for it"
Judging from Wang Yi's posture and emotions alone, what he said was likely to be true, but they had lost contact with the other teams, and the other teams had also fallen into the hands of the man in black, so it was difficult not to doubt his appearance.
"It is precisely because of my suspicion of him that I will ask him where the canyon is located, and since we can't tell whether his words are true or false, let's see with our own eyes, and I believe that the results will be soon."
He Ping looked out of the cave entrance, chuckled, and then looked into the cave with some helplessness.
"Even if we don't believe what he says, one thing is certain, since the token of Kuyang's predecessor has fallen into his hands, it proves that they have indeed seen it before.
And we are the candidates for this trial, to have such a cultivation is also Yi Lou's cultivation, if there is no dry Yang senior, even if we escape, we will lose our role in Yi Lou, and finally have to face Yi Lou's suspicion and torture, this is what I am most worried about"
"That's right, what Brother Shen said is very right, whether it is Yu Qing or Yu Li, we should go to the rescue after confirming the situation, as for how to rescue, it depends on Li Ying to investigate and then decide"
Qi Baili nodded towards Li Ying, and after thinking about it, he secretly felt that something was wrong, and glanced at everyone, and finally fixed it on Lin Chen's face.
"I believe in Li Ying's concealment ability, but for the sake of safety, it's better for Brother Lin Chen to go with you, with your current strength, coupled with the skills taught to you by Li Ying personally, it should be enough to deal with ordinary people in black."
Lin Chen saw Qi Baili looking at him, and asked himself to follow Li Ying to investigate, but he didn't shirk it, and after saluting them, while the water column outside had not disappeared, he and Li Ying took advantage of the strength to jump, leaned on the vines on the side to the top, and began to rush to the place where the valley was.
After watching the two leave, the faces of the group of people were also a lot more relaxed, and although they were worried, there was nothing they could do.
"Well, regardless of the results of the two brothers' investigations, we still need to work hard to improve our cultivation during this time before they return.
Although the three of us have successfully broken through to the realm of the Acquired Sevenfold, and there is no problem in dealing with one or two of them, this is still far from enough, I hope you can work harder in the future, this is also for yourself to be able to take Zhou Xuan from them."
After Lin Chen and the others left, He Ping also pulled everyone's minds back in a timely manner, and did not return to the cave, but sat down in place and began to meditate and practice.
The others came to their senses and went into the cave one after another, and began to practice harder.
......
Lin Chen and Li Ying walked side by side in the jungle, reining in their breath while running quickly, leaving the trees tens of meters high on both sides far behind, after nearly two hours of identification and hurrying, the two finally came to the outside of the valley he said under the guidance of Wang Yi's mark, and here some voices from the valley can be vaguely heard.
After carefully observing the valley for a while, the two did not find anything wrong, it was not much different from the normal valley, and from here they could see a stream flowing in it, and the sound was also coming from the direction of the stream, but it was blocked by the surrounding trees, and they did not see anyone in it, and both of them were vigilant in their hearts.
"Brother Lin, it's still daytime, it's not suitable for us to hide, it will increase the risk of us being discovered, let's wait a little longer, wait until the sun sets, and then sneak in at night"
The two also stopped at this time, Li Ying glanced at the sun that was still hanging high, and said hello to Lin Chen on the side.
"Okay, then according to what Brother Li said"
After looking at the direction of the valley stream for a while, the two decided to go a little further, and then found a new place to wait for the night.
The night began to cover the earth, and thick black clouds appeared in the sky, so the clouds also seemed to help Lin Chen and the two, not only covering the bright moon, but also completely blocking the only trace of light.
The two of them jumped cautiously from tree to tree, until they saw the faint light of the fire behind them through the sparse trees, and finally stopped on the two trees near the edge, and looked through the gap between the leaves to see the firelight.
In front of the two of them was a makeshift camp, next to the stream, and in the middle of the camp was a wood-walled area with a number of people being held captive.
On each of its four directions, there was a makeshift tent that kept the detainees firmly in check, but to the surprise of the two of them, they didn't see Ku Yang inside, nor did they see the other Yi Lou candidates in it.
Now the black-clothed man in the camp is eating a roasted beast and feasting, and there is a black-clothed man in charge of guarding on the side, Lin Chen counted carefully, and found that there are a total of about forty people, that is, nearly half of the black-clothed people are here.
In order not to be discovered, the two people who came here also began to communicate with gestures, and after a brief exchange, Lin Chen suddenly pointed to the back of the detention area.
There was an iron cage the size of ten people, and through the firelight, you could see that there were people in it who were also being held, and if you didn't pay special attention, it would be difficult to find out where the two of them were.
After Li Ying found out, he made a gesture towards Lin Chen, and then fell from the tree to the ground, found the blind spot of the black-clothed man in charge of guarding, entered the camp in a flash, and began to investigate further with his superb concealment method, and Lin Chen could only watch him investigate while guarding the surroundings.
After about half a cup of tea, Li Ying reappeared under the tree where Lin Chen was hiding, nodded to Lin Chen, and the two looked at the camp separately, and then turned around and left the valley.
"Brother Li, what is the situation inside?
Halfway through, Lin Chen asked about the specific situation in the camp and waited quietly for Li Ying to speak.
"In the camp, it is indeed as Wang Yi said, I also saw the Kuyang seniors who had passed out in that iron cage, and the candidates who were locked up with him were those candidates of Yilou, and Gongsun Yu was also among them, but they all seemed to have been drugged, and everyone fell to the ground softly."
Lin Chen frowned, and then asked about the situation in the tent.
Li Ying also informed Lin Chen of what he saw on the edge of the tent, and during his investigation, he found that there was a black-clothed captain in each tent, and there were also two on the edge of the iron cage.
And according to them, their commander had indeed suffered a lot of injuries in the battle with Kuyang, and had now taken the other three captains to retreat elsewhere.
In other words, there are only six black-clothed captains in the camp now, and their commander is not here to heal his wounds, so if they really carry out a rescue plan, it will be good news for Lin Chen and them.
After a presumptuous exchange of information about the camp, the two picked up speed again, avoiding all unnecessary troubles, and then returned directly above the rift, waiting for the eruption of the water column.
