C211 toxometer (1/2)
The intense unease in my heart had become even more obvious, and the scorching feeling in my chest made me even more annoyed. My gaze quickly searched the surroundings of this simple and crude room. Very quickly, I saw the location of the ceiling along the bare wall.
This room had clearly been occupied by someone not long ago. Someone must have wanted to hide something, but when I looked up at the ceiling, I instinctively pulled Tang Rou and ran out. I think this was some sort of prediction of danger.
Facts proved once again the importance of my instincts. Right when Tang Rou and I arrived at the entrance, we heard a muffled sound from above us. I was too familiar with this sound.
Even though Tang Rou and I had already rushed out of the room, we were still unable to completely escape, so a wave of scorching air instantly filled the room. This wasn't just a surge of yin and yang energy, but a type of burning that resembled a natural gas explosion, making Tang Rou and I feel unbearable pain.
”This bastard is on the roof.”
I cursed, and immediately got up from the floor. I didn't notice the vertical iron bars in the corner of the loft where the wall stood, which could be climbed to the roof for inspection.
Previously, Tang Rou and I were too worried, so we didn't think that guy would run up to the roof. In addition, I felt that it was impossible for an old man to climb up with his back hunched over.
In a few steps, I reached the bottom of the ladder and leaped up, grabbing onto the bottom one before quickly climbing up. The top cover was already opened and normally, it should have been covered by a lid to prevent blood from dripping down.
In other words, that old man ran to the top of the building. No wonder Tang Rou and I didn't see him downstairs, nor did we see him in the room.
”Be careful, don't get ambushed by that guy.”
Tang Rou was covering for me. I didn't care too much at this time. If I hadn't seen the opportunity earlier, then the other side would have already been killed along with Tang Rou. No matter what, I couldn't let that guy go.
Just as I was about to reach the top of the cave entrance, I saw that ugly old face of mine, but this time, the fierceness in the other party's eyes had already burst out without any concealment. I knew that if I went up now, I would definitely be attacked, or even killed, but it was already too late for me to hesitate, so I clenched my teeth and unleashed my explosive strength, directly piercing through the cave entrance.
Sure enough, a ray of light shot towards my throat. I had long since prepared myself to use my Life Death Blade to block it. At the same time, I extended my hand to support the edge of the hole as my body finally flipped over.
