Chapter 12: Difficult Choices
Hesitating in place, Yun Xuan and Ji Tianyue glanced at each other, and couldn't help but show a wry smile together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Yun Xuan, what can I do now, if you go the wrong way, not only will you lose time, but you must also be careful when you meet that rat demon!"
Ji Tianyue's hesitation was also where Yun Xuan was entangled. There are as many as four passages left here, and if you make a mistake, you have to go back again, so wouldn't it take four times as long to try over and over again?
What's more, one of these four paths still belongs to the rat demon, if they meet the rat demon before they find Qin Lan, the matter will be a big deal.
But at this moment, Ji Tianyue suddenly felt a fluffy feeling under her feet, and when she looked down, she immediately screamed. But she reacted after a long time, and quickly covered her mouth, but her eyes kept staring at the ground, revealing irrepressible horror.
Hearing her voice, Yun Xuan's face also changed, and he subconsciously looked down, and found that the group of young rats that were originally curled up in the corner were crawling around the cave without the deterrence of the rat demon.
Yun Xuan sighed secretly in his heart, when will you little guys make a bad trouble, but you have to make trouble at such a critical moment!
Not daring to hesitate for a moment, Yun Xuan didn't say a word, grabbed Ji Tianyue, and was about to run back to the passage when he came in. The two of them hid behind the walls, nervously peering at the passages.
Although Ji Tianyue's voice was not loud just now, in such an empty cave, this sound was enough to arouse the vigilance of the other party. What's more, the other party hasn't been gone for long, and it is likely that they will go and come back to observe the situation.
Sure enough, as Yun Xuan expected, in the passage on the far left, a sturdy middle-aged man walked quickly, although he had now taken off his armor and helmet, Yun Xuan knew that this person was General Qin Lan.
Hiding behind the wall in the corner, the two of them didn't dare to take a breath, watching Qin Lan's every move extremely nervously, for fear that the other party would find out where the two of them were.
I saw Qin Lan standing still where Ji Tianyue was before, looking around with a calm face, he did return because of that exclamation, but the same problem as Yun Xuan and the two of them, there were many exits here, even if he was really sure that someone was here, it would be difficult to find out where the other party was!
"My lord, were you calling me before?"
After asking a tentative question, there was only a silence in response to Qin Lan, he snorted coldly, and his eyes swept over the passage on Yun Xuan's side, so frightened that the two of them hurriedly retracted their heads, looking like thieves.
After the two of them were motionless for a long time, Yun Xuan poked his head out to observe the situation, but found that the cave was empty, obviously Qin Lan had nothing to gain, so he turned around and left.
"Whew, I was scared to death, I was almost found by him. Ji Tianyue patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Yun Xuan said angrily: "Senior sister, if it weren't for your surprise, how could we be discovered?"
Ji Tianyue's face froze, but she suddenly thought of something, pointed to the front and said with a straight face: "Yun Xuan, you don't understand this, I did it on purpose just now, Senior Sister." Look, don't we already know which way he's going now?"
"Yes, senior sister, you are the most witty, you can come up with this method, junior brother, I really admire the five-body throwing. Yun Xuan rolled his eyes, and didn't poke her, after all, Ji Tianyue was right, now they did know which way to go.
Bypassing the group of young rats in the cave, the two quickly walked into the road that Qin Lan had left before, and walked straight along the passage.
Strange to say, this passage was unimpeded, and there were no bumps or forks along the way, as if it would lead directly to the destination, which made Yun Xuan vigilant. Because those who dare to do this are either brainless fools or masters who are extremely confident in themselves!
But although Qin Lan looked like five big and three thick, his extremely deep city made Yun Xuan dare not despise it in the slightest, so there must be danger ahead.
However, knowing that there were many dangers ahead, would Yun Xuan have to give up so easily? No, he couldn't! Because Lu Xiangyu was even more dangerous than him now, even if Qin Lan set a trap and waited for him, he couldn't flinch in the slightest.
Finally, after a period of progress, Yun Xuan and Ji Tianyue appeared in front of a stone door. However, the stone door opened, revealing the contents of the stone door to full view.
If it weren't for Yun Xuan's deep knowledge that he was deep underground, he would definitely think that he had come to a luxurious suite. Judging from the layout of the rooms and the furniture, there is no difference between it and the houses outside, and even surpasses it.
There is no doubt, only Qin Lan can live here, after all, a rat demon or a group of rats will not be used to living in this kind of room.
"This, why is this door wide open, isn't he afraid that someone will sneak in?" Ji Tianyue wondered. It was a completely knee-jerk question, but she regretted it after saying that, because the answer was simple, there was no one else deep underground.
Besides, this road is straight and smooth, whether you come in or leave, you can only walk from here, and who dares to sneak in under Qin Lan's nose?
Of course...... Except for the two bold boys and girls in front of them!
Yun Xuan walked into it with great courage and found that this place was very spacious, in addition to the hall in front of him, there were several separate rooms on both sides, and he didn't know what was inside. However, after carefully observing, he did not see any trace of Qin Lan.
"Strange, how can this be?"
Seeing that he also didn't understand, Ji Tianyue became even more curious: "What's so strange, I think it's strange if he also lives in a cave." ā
Yun Xuan shook his head lightly, frowned, and said, "No, it's not that there is a problem here, I'm wondering why Qin Lan is not here, it stands to reason that he left before us, and he should have arrived before us, but he is not here!"
After Yun Xuan mentioned this, Ji Tianyue couldn't help but suddenly feel that the two of them had big eyes and small eyes, and they both felt a little bad.
Suddenly, a weak voice came from the side: "Xiao, Xiaoxuan, is it you, I heard your voice." ā
Sister Xiaoyu?
How could Yun Xuan not recognize this voice, and with an excited expression, he put Qin Lan's question behind for a while, and hurriedly followed the voice to find it. After pushing open the door of a room on the right, I saw Lu Xiangyu's figure inside.
At this time, Lu Xiangyu was tightly tied by a rope, and there was Ji Tianyue's brother Ji Tianyang beside him. When these two people saw Yun Xuan and Ji Tianyue appearing, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Brother!" "Sister Xiaoyu!"
Yun Xuan hurriedly came to Lu Xiangyu's side and wanted to untie the rope for her, but Lu Xiangyu said anxiously: "Don't, don't touch it, this rope is weird, once it touches it, it will be sucked into the true qi." ā
"What?" Yun Xuan subconsciously stopped his hands, and suddenly understood why these two people were so weak, it was completely because of this rope. "So what to do, isn't there any way to untie it?"
Lu Xiangyu shook his head with a bitter face: "Xiao Xuan, listen to me, that Qin Lan is very dangerous, while he hasn't come back yet, you should escape quickly." ā
"No, I won't leave you here, if you want to leave, then it must be all of us together!" Yun Xuan looked at her stubbornly, this was also the first time in his life that he disobeyed Lu Xiangyu.
