The Backroom was empty, with only a three-foot-tall and long-standing altar.

On the altar lay a man in rags covered in blood, with his hair covered his face, his eyes glaring like brass bells, and his lips furled as if he wanted to say something, but he twitched in pain like madness, and could not say anything. After a long time, the breath gradually weakened, fainted. On his blood-blurred face, his pale and helpless eyes stared at the top of the grotto, as if his enemies were standing there mocking him. However, the eyes gradually spread out in despair. Suddenly, he twitched violently for a while, and then he froze.

Chu Tao withdrew a few steps and stood, frowning slightly, as if he was sad and hesitant.

Short knife man, Chu Tao's friendship with him is not shallow.

The first major thing Chu Tao did after seizing the position of the leader of the South Shore Alliance was to solve the notoriously arrogant killer three brothers on the South Coast, so that the short knife man could get out of the unjust lawsuit that had been entangled in his body for many years. Therefore, the short knife man has always been grateful to him, and is willing to listen to him as a young man. Today, it is because Chu Tao has suffered a greater unwarranted disaster......

This face distorted by pain, Chu Tao will never forget it again.

Secretly clenched his fists.

Qin Shi was also stunned, standing in place at a loss.

Only Jun He stepped forward, leaned over to probe his breath, picked his hair, and identified: "Dead, there are wounds everywhere." It's the same as Jinyike. Looks like we accidentally crashed into that guy's lair. ”

The three of them fell silent.

Qin Shi clutched the hilt of the knife tightly, burning with anger but nowhere to vent.

Jun He whispered: "This place is not suitable for a long time. ”

Chu Tao laughed lightly: "Do you think we can still go at this moment?"

Eyes meet, clear in the heart. The white shadow that flickered in the corner was the culprit who brought them here.

A scathing, old laugh echoed through the stone house.

All of a sudden, the evil wind blew up, the sand flew away, and all the torches around were suddenly extinguished. In a moment of panic, they plunged into the boundless darkness.

Qin Shi stiffened and couldn't move for a while, just like the night in Wangjiangtai. The voice started from nowhere, as if Jiang Shaoyun's shadow was surrounded in all directions. A stone wall slowly sank in front of them, revealing a pitch-black passageway.

A deep and long voice echoed in the passage: "Isn't Chu Shaoxia looking for an old man?"

Immediately, an unbelievable white shadow drifted away into the depths of the passage.

Chu Tao didn't think much about it and rushed to this passage.

However, as soon as he and Qin Shi stepped into the passage, the stone gate slammed down with a "bang", and the hidden weapon flew sideways.

The arrogant voice floated and wantoned: "Where can you run?"

The voice followed them as if it had long legs, and the indescribable sound of metal stones colliding and popping around them seemed to be the sky falling.

This time, it was Qin Shi who dragged Chu Taodong to hide and hide. A smell of earthy ash mixed with a strong smell of sulfur penetrated into the nose, making it impossible to breathe. Large and small stones kept rolling down from the top of the head, covered with dust, and the eyes were even more blurry, and the road could not be seen clearly, and it seemed that there was a fork in the road, and I didn't care about many of them, just my feet.

After running for a long time, the eyes suddenly brightened, but it was just a large stone room. The way out is like a labyrinth, with more than a dozen forks in the road gathering here. The laughter disappeared at some point, and Qin Shi stopped and gasped.

Chu Tao turned around, and the passage had already been blocked by stones.

"Jiang Shaoyun is too ruthless!" Qin Shi complained.

"Maybe more ruthlessness is yet to come......"

Chu Tao already knew in his heart: probably Jiang Shaoyun deliberately brought them here, but he was just impulsive and fell into the plan.

What a terrible enemy this must be! It seems that he has already understood Chu Tao's temper of wanting to get to the bottom of the problem and never giving up until the goal is achieved, so he planned it from the beginning, set up mysteries everywhere, and waited for him to take the initiative! Jiang Shaoyun seemed to have done nothing, but he had already set up a bureau and waited for him here!

But......

Qin Shi sighed secretly: "Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise we would have been buried alive." ”

Chu Tao asked with a cold face, "What about Junhe?"

"Maybe he got separated, and I didn't see him when the stones fell. Or ......"

"No! This ruffian is far faster than me, we are all gone, what is he rubbing?" Chu Tao said categorically, and there was a faint anger in his words.

"But where else could he be but in there? or else...... Was he arrested by Jiang Shaoyun?" Qin Shi looked at Chu Tao inexplicably and looked indignant, not understanding why he had changed to a picture of the sky falling and panicking without Xie Junhe.

"Is this ruffian crazy?!" Chu Tao was furious and turned back, intending to open the collapsed hole, but the rubble fell further, stirring up smoke and dust, but there was no gap.

Qin Shi persuaded: "Master Chu is calm, maybe Xie Daxia is ...... on another fork in the road"

He ignored it, and roared at the ruins with all he could, but all he could get back was a hollow echo.

"Bastard!

He stabbed his sword into the pile of rubble, roaring almost in despair, still with no intention of leaving.

Qin Shi really didn't understand what anger he was making, so he had to remind: "Maybe...... It's not that bad...... If you don't leave, it's too late. ”

Regardless of the amount of tongue that took place, the voice of persuasion seemed to fall into a bottomless abyss, and received no response.

Chu Tao stood in place, not saying anything, as if he had turned into a stone pillar.

"Shall we wait for him here?" Qin Shi couldn't move when he saw it, so he had to change his tone.

"No," Chu Tao's deep voice suddenly sounded in a dead silence, "We—wait for Jiang Shaoyun." ”

Qin Shikong opened his mouth, stunned.

"Qin Dashao, hold your knife tightly, he is by our side. Chu Tao said extremely seriously, and the murderous aura rising from the corners of his eyes made Qin Shi feel as if he had returned to the night of Red Frost Town—no, it was far more terrifying than that. At this moment, Chu Tao only had an awe-inspiring coldness on his face, and it seemed that he could firmly freeze all external forces.

Qin Shi couldn't help but shudder, not knowing if it was because of Jiang Shaoyun or Chu Tao.

"Qin Dashao, if he can't dodge, he has already calculated it. ”

Qin Shi didn't want to hide, but he couldn't help but take a few steps back—who was calculating whom?

The leisurely laughter resumed, from the depths of darkness, gradually approaching. The sound of subtle footsteps, accompanied by the sound of bamboo canes hitting the ground, came from the darkness, and the rhythm was slow and calm.

"Does the young man admit defeat?"

After a while, the old man in white clothes and crane-haired like a fairy came out steadily from that direction, his right sleeve tube was empty, and his left hand was holding a bamboo cane. The eyebrows are plain and elegant, the vicissitudes and sharpness are intertwined in the eyes, and the indifference and pride coexist at the corners of the mouth. seems to be smiling but not smiling, as if the thousand-year-old storm of the rivers and lakes is just like a flower blooming and falling in his eyes.

Chu Tao hugged his fists and saluted: "It's a blessing to see my seniors!"

Qin Shi instantly drew his sword to defend: "Jiang Shaoyun!"
