Chapter 528: Escape through the Secret Passage

Xiao Tian, who had no way out, finally set his sights on the stone well of the house after a hundred attempts to no avail......

"Could it be this ......," Xiao Tian muttered to himself.

"You mean, the secret passage is in this stone well?" Su Jiaying said.

"Well, because there are no other secret passages in this house......," Xiao Tian said while thinking, "The Technique of Mechanisms has mentioned, 'Anyone who warns of the way to escape, must be able to see with his own eyes and not be confused', if there are other secret passages in this house besides this well, it is not easy to identify at all, just like now that it is dilapidated like this, Tian Xu himself can't find ...... at all."

"But if it's not, wouldn't we dig our own grave if we jump in like this?" Xiao Qi still said with palpitations.

"No—" Xiao Tian looked at the stone well, becoming more and more convinced of his judgment, "There is an order in the center of the courtyard, but there is no sound of water coming from this stone well...... Moreover, there is obvious dry cracking on the edge of the stone well, and if there is really water in the well, it is impossible for the damp environment to dry and crack...... The only possibility is that this well is either a place to hide and store, or, a passage out of this mountain-"

"Now that it's decided, what are you really doing here?" Hu Yidi couldn't help but say, "Let's go in quickly, there are dozens of us here...... The fire has already burned into the courtyard, and it will be too late if you don't leave!"

Indeed, the fire that surrounded the mountain forest had engulfed the courtyard in a sea of fire, and everyone could feel the suffocating heat flowing towards them...... Suddenly, there was a rattling sound from the roof of the house - and the gap in the ceiling was getting bigger and bigger, and the flames were already burning all over the house.

"Not good. The house is going to catch fire—" Gervay reminded loudly.

"Let's go, since we are sure that this is a secret passage-" Xue Feichen also said to Xiao Tian. "We all believe in you, Dragon Hero. As a disciple of the Demon Master, you will definitely be able to take us out of here!"

Xiao Tian looked up at the people around him, most of them were his predecessors, even the famous senior Venerable in the martial arts. Now that the crisis is imminent, everyone has pinned their hopes on themselves, and they have never been under such pressure......

"Okay-" Xiao Tian finally made up his mind and said righteously, "This wellhead is the escape channel, yes, let's go in one by one now...... Wait until you enter the wellhead. The seniors must follow behind, and the juniors will definitely find a way to take you out of here!"

"We'll all listen to you, Dragon Hero—" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Su Jia saw that today's Xiao Tian is no longer the original indecisive and unconfident Xiao Tian, but has become mature and responsible, and dares to take responsibility. Such Xiao Tian has truly become a man who stands up to the sky, and Su Jia feels a lot in her heart......

"Let's go—" Hu Yidi, Xiao Qi and the other disciples took advantage of the surrounding fire to take torches to illuminate, and then the others jumped in from the mouth of the well one by one. First of all, Huang Ji and Qiu Ruxin, who were injured, were taken care of by Fang Ying and Su Jia.

"Dad, I'll go down with Brother Huang Ji first, you have to come down quickly-" Fang Ying didn't forget to shout to her father.

"Ying'er, you go first. Daddy will be here soon—" Fang Zhongtian also responded to his daughter.

"I really didn't expect that eighteen years have passed, although all kinds of grievances can't be resolved. But there are so many interesting people......" Lan Gu said with a smile while taking care of the baby girl. "It seems that I was really right to choose the Canglong hero to protect Ying'er and return to the mountain, the Canglong hero who reappeared in the rivers and lakes. What an interesting young man......"

The next one to go down was naturally Aunt Lan who was holding the baby girl, and Fang Zhongtian followed closely here, taking Tian Xu who had passed out with him......

"Gang Master Ge, you guys go down first, here is me and Jia'er tiptoe-" Xiao Tian said to Ge Wei again.

Ge Wei looked at Xiao Tian and Su Jia, smiled and said, "Hmph, the descendants of Jianghu Bo are really interesting...... Well, you have to hurry down too-"

"Don't worry!" Xiao Tian nodded confidently.

So, Ge Wei, Xue Feichen, and the beggar gang disciples also followed......

Followed by the disciples of Yixian Gate, although they were injured at the entrance formation at the foot of the mountain before, they still had the strength to escape. Feng Wen led all the disciples of the Yixian Sect to Shijing one by one, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say to Xiao Tian: "Xiao Shaoxia, hurry up, we will wait for you below-"

"Don't worry, I'll take everyone out of here, in the name of Canglong Hero—" Xiao Tian said with a confident expression. To be honest, at first he didn't know whether he could get out of here......

"Ah Tian, you and your sister-in-law should come down quickly-" Xiao Qi is also going to follow Hu Yidi.

"You, you, you are just calling ...... nonsense" Xiao Tian first teased as usual, and then said to Xiao Qi, "I'm really ashamed to pull you into this danger, brother...... But trust me, it's going to be safe—"

"What is this, we have been brothers for more than ten years...... Xiao Qi also responded with a smile, "I used to always have a little fight with you in Xiaojia Villa, and today I finally have the opportunity to share hardships with Ah Tian and you outside, I must not regret it - this experience must be very interesting, back to Xiaojia Villa, I am afraid that the brothers and sisters will be jealous of me......"

"Okay, don't be poor, let's go in with Brother Hu first, we'll be there soon-" Xiao Tian responded.

So, in the end, Xiao Qi and Hu Yidi also went down to Shijing together......

There were only two left, Xiao Tian and Su Jia, Su Jia saw that Xiao Tian hadn't jumped off the well immediately, and couldn't help but say: "Let's go, Ah Tian, the fire will engulf this place immediately, and everyone is still waiting below......

Xiao Tian took a torch on the spot unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "Jia'er, to be honest, since the Shenfeng Cliff jumped, and even now we have reunited, we have not experienced such a predicament together...... It turns out that my martial arts are very poor, and you have always taken the initiative to protect me, and today I can finally stand up on my own and protect you, Jia'er. The original wish has finally come true today......"

Su Jia knew that Xiao Tian was wholeheartedly for himself, and her face couldn't help but blush. But for now, she didn't hesitate. Instead, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'm still saying these meaty things at this time...... Can you protect me and everyone? I'll have to get out of here first, and I'll talk about it when I get out of here first—"

"Hmm-" Xiao Tian nodded with a smile, and finally jumped into the well with Su Jia......

After everyone went down the well, the last fire in the courtyard set the whole house on fire, and with the bright flames that soared into the sky, the entire Xunwei Mountain finally became a sea of fire where all grass died......

In the stone well, Xiao Tian walked in front with a torch, groping for the mechanism in the passage, and trying to lead everyone to find a way to escape......

"This stone well is indeed an escape route, and it can't be wrong. Looking at the relatively neat arrangement on the stone wall...... Xiao Tian stroked the grooves on the stone walls on both sides of the passage with his hand, while muttering to himself or explaining to the people behind him, "But this passage doesn't seem to be so simple, there are many forks, the sense of direction is difficult to determine, and I don't know where this passage will flee in the end......"

"You won't be able to escape from the volcano in the end, right?" Xiao Qi was still worried.

"No—" Xiao Tian replied firmly, "Since Tian Xu himself spent eighteen years building the Destruction Mechanism and this secret passage, then he would definitely have expected today's result...... 'Burning to Find Wei Mountain', since he can escape." The exit must be outside the fire......"

Speaking of this, Fang Zhongtian looked at Tian Xu, who had passed out on his back, and a sadness poured into his heart......

The man behind followed closely, although the road ahead was unknown and difficult to find. Everyone didn't even know if they could escape from here, but they didn't seem nervous, and felt that Xiao Tian was leading the way. Everything can be passed smoothly and peacefully.

Fang Ying slowly supported Huang Ji here, and there were two people who confessed. It's also a time to become more intimate and caring.

With Fang Ying's support, Huang Ji felt that his injuries had also improved a lot. He smiled and said to Fang Ying: "Ying'er, I'm almost fine, you don't need to help me......"

Fang Ying also smiled, showing an expression that had passed the rain and the sky was clear, "It's okay, anyway, Brother Xiao Tian will definitely take us out of here...... I've grown up so big and haven't experienced many things, and I've seen too many interesting things along the way with Brother Huang Ji. It's dangerous, but it's also a precious memory. Including this escape in the secret passage...... Hehe, if you encounter such an interesting thing, you may not have a chance in the future......"

Xiao Tian heard Fang Ying being happy in the back of him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart.

With Su Jia's support, Qiu Ruxin also recovered well, and gradually was able to walk on her own. Xiao Tian noticed it, and while exploring the road ahead, he turned around and asked, "By the way, Miss Qiu, your master spent eighteen years to complete this mechanism, do you apprentices really don't know anything about it?"

Qiu Ruxin's expression was relatively calm, and she smiled bitterly: "Maybe Senior Brother Bai Xie and Senior Brother Zhou Xingtong know something, but I don't know anything...... I was raised by Master since I was a child, and he has always groomed me to be a cold-blooded killer since I was a child, making me ignore all emotions in the world...... But after a few days of experiencing your play, I really ......" Speaking of this, Qiu Ruxin's eyes couldn't help but ooze tears.

"Miss Qiu......" Su Jia looked at Qiu Ruxin's sad expression, and couldn't help but touch her heart.

"Thank you so much, Canglong Hero, and everyone's ......" Qiu Ruxin said with some tears in her eyes, "As a disciple of the Ghost King Master, you are still like this...... This ignores previous suspicions...... Thank you, Hero, for saving your life, little woman...... I will never forget ......" Qiu Ruxin remembered the scene when Xiao Tian saved herself before, but because the situation had been tense at that time, Qiu Ruxin had never had a chance to express it.

"It's okay, Jia'er and I have made a lot of friends along the way, and it's not the first time that such a scene of life and death has been rescued...... " Xiao Tian smiled and said, "You are the same age as us, and you also have good thoughts in your heart, you should not be our enemy, but our friend...... I'm not used to everyone always calling me 'Canglong Hero', after all, this title is the honorific title of the first generation of Canglong Hero Luo Baiyu's predecessors, and I was a little disrespectful to the three old-timers of Canglong Hero when I re-emerged as him...... I still like people to call me other titles, whether it is a senior or a junior, such as 'Xiao Shaoxia', 'Brother Xiao', 'Brother Xiao' or 'Ah Tian'......"

"Of course, I can also call you 'stinky Ah Tian'-" Xiao Qi couldn't help but joke on the side.

"Hahahaha-" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Tian was not happy to hear this, he was used to fighting with Xiao Qi, and suddenly returned to the character of Xiaojia Villa, and replied to Xiao Qi: "Let me tell you, Ah Qi, if you dare to dig my bitterness again, I will definitely let you have no good fruit to eat when you turn back!"

"Hahahaha......" Behind Fang Ying and even Ge Wei and other seniors couldn't help laughing, now they are still in trouble, but everyone is not nervous and afraid, but a little more relaxed and happy. Among these people, there are the seven heroes of the martial arts and the heads of the family, and there are also many celebrities and celebrities in the martial arts, and now they have fallen into this predicament together, and they have also experienced such a play as one, and they have not put on the shelf of the predecessors, but they are like friends who have forgotten their years, talking and laughing like ordinary people, such a scene is also very rare......

"Actually, I like to call you 'silly Ah Tian', hehe......" Su Jia secretly laughed behind her.

Qiu Ruxin looked at the scene of everyone laughing, and changed to his former self, he couldn't believe that the famous and famous warriors in the martial arts would put down their identities and laugh happily together...... She also gradually understood that the emotions in this world are actually real, and Qiu Ruxin has never felt such warmth and truth since she was born......

"Boom-boom......" However, while everyone was exploring and laughing, there was a strong vibration from the mountain from time to time.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qi said a little nervously, and the strong vibration suddenly pulled everyone's nervous emotions back.

Xiao Tian retracted his expression, thought about it calmly, and then said, "I know, the shaking on the mountain was the same before, the lava must have broken the support of the mountain...... No, we need to get out of here quickly, or if it drags on, I'm afraid this secret passage won't last long-"

Everyone suddenly realized the tension of the situation, so they held their breath and followed closely behind Xiao Tian......

The more I walked in front of the secret passage, I clearly felt the difference in the high position - all the way through the secret passage, everyone walked down the mountain. And with the stronger and stronger shaking and the hotter and hotter temperatures, Xiao Tian seemed to have an inspiration - they had reached the bottom of the mountain.

"This should be the foot of the mountain......" Xiao Tian couldn't help but stop and said.

"What, is it true?" Fang Zhongtian said as he mentioned his spirit on the side.

When the people behind heard it, they also felt that victory was not far away, and their nervousness eased slightly.

"The problem is, where is the real exit......" Xiao Tian looked sideways, only to see that the secret passage had come to an end, and everything in front of him was an earthen wall made of stone and earth, and there was no mark of the exit passage at all.

And at the same time, the strongest vibrations felt from that time followed. The shaking was accompanied by a violent sound, and even the sound of falling rocks outside the mountain could be heard, and an inspiration flashed in everyone's minds at the same time - the secret passage was about to be overwhelmed.

"Hurry up, Ah Tian, this place is about to collapse-" Su Jia also stepped up, "Since the secret passage here has come to an end, the exit should be here-"

"Let me think about it...... Let me think...... This scene is very familiar, I have seen similar scenes in "Organ Technique", but I can't remember it......" Xiao Tian reached the point of being nervous, a little panicked, he tried to calm himself, and then seemed to think of something, and continued to say to Su Jia, "By the way, Jia'er, when you let me go to Cloud Main City, you should take my package with you, right?"

"That's right, the package you usually carry with you and the 'Mingmeng Iron Sword' are here-" Su Jia took out the package without thinking.

"My book "Mechanism Technique" is still in the bag, I remember that there is a key point in the book that mentions it here, you take it out and let me see it......" Xiao Tian suddenly wanted to see how to find it at this time.

"Oh, what kind of books are you reading at this time-" Su Jia was surprised by Xiao Tian's words, but the current situation was imminent, and Su Jia couldn't think much about it...... (To be continued......)
