Old Zhao, who was in a predicament, was immediately speechless. He knew that what Lieutenant Shen Bu said was true. Xiao Li and the two of them might not even be able to escape from this' Di Kun Altar '.
Xiao Li merely stared at him coldly, his entire body shivering with fear. ”If you want to save him, then hurry up. If not, I'm afraid Yin Sun will have to make a huge change.”
Xiao Li also wanted to hurry up and find Lil 'Red. He immediately turned around and continued his search. Old Zhao and Lieutenant Shen Bu silently followed behind him. Some of the children were already so cold that they were trembling on the ground, while the others were just watching from the sidelines. Some of them had even stolen the clothes from the children, and some of them were fighting over the clothes, causing their bodies to be covered in bruises. No wonder these children were so wary of the other children around them; this was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Xiao Li was furious. So this was the training of the Lou Guang Sect, to let these kids kill each other here. They were like wild beasts that could do anything to survive.
Xiao Li couldn't bear to look any longer, but in order to look for someone, he had no choice but to take a closer look. When he finally arrived at the seventeenth row of the thirteen iron cages, he saw a single person locked in the cage. When he saw that frail and frail figure in front of him, his entire body shook. Unfortunately, his voice was hoarse.
Upon seeing this, Old Zhao knew that he had found him. He walked up to Xiao Li and patted his back, indicating for him to calm down. Xiao Li suppressed the tears in his eyes and exhaled deeply. He finally managed to calm his emotions as he slowly walked to the front of the cage.
Ying Ying was wearing a thick set of clothes. She looked clean, but her face was pale and her cheeks were thin. Her eyes were filled with fear as she looked around the cages. When she saw Xiao Li and the others coming over, her eyes were filled with caution and fear.
When Xiao Li arrived at her side, she was so frightened that she hurriedly moved her body backwards. Old Zhao frowned and said: ”Brother Xiao, what, what is going on? Why doesn't your niece seem to recognize you? Could it be the Lou Monastery has done something? ”
Xiao Li shook his head slowly and pointed at his scarred face. ”If I had seen Brother Xiao's face, I wouldn't have been able to recognize him. Earlier, when I saw Brother Xiao's face, I was greatly shocked. I even thought that Brother Xiao had disguised himself, but I didn't expect Brother Xiao to be so vicious. He actually destroyed his own appearance and entered the main altar, and even cut his throat.”
Only now did Old Zhao realize that Xiao Li had ruined his own appearance. No wonder Xiao Ying couldn't recognize him. Old Zhao hurried over and said to Little Ying in the cage, ”Little girl, don't be scared. We are here to save you.” He pointed at Xiao Li and said, ”This is your uncle. His face was scratched to this extent.”
Lil 'Red's pale face finally showed some emotions. It seemed as if he believed Xiao Li. However, Xiao Li had wasted his appearance to such an extent that it was difficult to recognize him. Xiao Li calmly looked at Xiao Ying, his eyes filled with grief.
”Brother Xiao,” Old Zhao hastened to remind him, ”we should get him out of here as soon as possible. I'm afraid Yin Sun is calling for help.”
When Xiao Li heard this, he got up and went to the door of the cage. He saw that the cage was made of pure steel and the door was locked by iron chains.
Old Zhao said, ”Get out of the way. Let's see if I can break the iron chains with my sword.” After saying that, he took out his sword and slashed at the iron chain, but with a ”ding” sound, only a faint mark was left on the chain.
Lil 'Red didn't say a word, but looked at them vigilantly. Even when they were chopping down the iron chains, he didn't move an inch. When Xiao Li saw this, his heart ached even more. It had only been a few months since he last saw a lively child, yet he had already become so calm. It was unknown just how much pain he had suffered. He waved his hand and dodged Old Zhao's sword. He gathered all the strength in his body into the sword and gathered all the anger in his heart into the sword. He slashed at the iron chain and with a loud 'kacha', the chain broke. Old Zhao pushed open the door and reached out his hand to pull up the trembling red firefly: ”Come with us!”
Although Lil 'Ying was a little scared, she obediently followed Old Zhao out of the cage. Xiao Li returned the sword to Old Zhao and took the lead as he walked towards the entrance of the cave. Lieutenant Shen Bu was still following Xiao Li and did not have any intention of leaving. Xiao Li also ignored him. At the cave entrance, Xiao Li said, ”Brother Shen, can you scout ahead? After all, you are more familiar with this place than us.”
Lieutenant Shen Bu smiled slightly and said, ”Why not?” He first drilled into the hole. Seeing this, Old Zhao also smiled slightly and thought to himself: It seems like Brother Xiao is also very cautious. I can relax now, or else I would have to be on guard for him. He held onto the small glowing hand and followed Xiao Li into the dark tunnel. Little Ying Ying seemed to feel the other person's love and care for her from Old Zhao's warm hands. Gradually, her trembling hands gradually stopped shaking, and her walking speed also slowed down. Xiao Li had been staring coldly ahead and was secretly on guard against the surrounding activity. He did not move forward to talk to Xiao Ying Ying.
Everything was quiet after they entered the cave. Yin Sun didn't seem to be doing anything, which only made the four of them more uneasy. Yin Sun was not a good man or a good woman. He had even killed Gan Chi, the most loyal of them all.
The four of them had already traveled for three quarters of an hour when they suddenly heard a ”cha-cha-cha” sound coming from the mountain wall. Xiao Li's heart tightened as he knew that what was coming had finally arrived. ”Hurry up,” said Lieutenant Shen Bu, ”if you can get to the exit first, you won't have to worry about anything.”
Xiao Li didn't say anything as he grabbed Old Zhao's body and dashed forward. When Lieutenant Shen Bu entered the cave to save the man, she had already secretly taken some medicine. She had already recovered a lot, and could tell that he had used her movement technique just by hearing his footsteps. Xiao Li chased closely behind him without slowing down at all. In his heart, he was still very worried about this Earth Ark Elder.
As the clanging sound rang out, suddenly, a loud hissing sound came from the mountain wall. On the other side, Lieutenant Shen Bu turned around and fell to the ground, while Xiao Li hurriedly pulled Old Zhao and him to the ground. Before he fell to the ground, with his superior hearing, he heard an object fly past him. The inner strength of Xiao Li's body was like a diamond. Now that he was using his inner strength, it was as easy as waving his arm. He willed the inner strength to roll up the object.
Taking a look at it, Xiao Li could vaguely see with his outstanding eyesight that it was a steel nail as thick as a pinky. At the same time, a faint fishy smell wafted from his nose. When Xiao Li smelled the aroma, he unconsciously became alarmed. This thing was extremely poisonous. Fortunately, he had used his full heart, so he didn't try to grab it with his hands. Xiao Li stretched out his hand and pulled Old Zhao's hand. He wrote the word 'Poison' on the palm of Zhao's hand before pulling down his sleeve and placing the nail on the palm of his hand.
Old Zhao saw the shape of the nail with his sharp eyes and was shocked, ”The meridian Penetrating Bone Nail? ”This nail has the evil reputation of not being able to cure it in the afternoon. The poison on it is extremely strong, and it will immediately infect the person's bones. There is no way to treat it.”
”I didn't expect Brother Zhao to catch a meridian bone piercing nail. I'm impressed!”
Old Zhao laughed and said, ”Brother Shen, I think this meridian piercing nail is just the beginning. I wonder what kind of sinister thing will come next?”
”I don't know either,” said Lieutenant Shunb. ”This Yin Sun has an extraordinary background. He's been acting strangely all his life, and no one can guess what he's thinking.” Even though he said that he was going to kill us all to keep our mouths shut, I don't think that's really the reason. With his status, even if he didn't help us deal with the enemies, the sect's elders wouldn't care about such a small matter. ”I've been here for a year and I've only been to this altar a few times. I have no way of knowing what mechanisms are in this tunnel.”
Old Zhao said, ”I hope Brother Shen is telling the truth. Otherwise, I won't be wasting time with you.”
Lieutenant Shen Bu said, ”How dare I lie to you all? ”Yin Sun tried to kill me before, and now that we're on the same boat, I'm sure you'll notice.”
