C95 (1/2)
He felt confident and pleased with himself, for he had found a new pleasure in directing a great battle, a great battle with almost no suspense, but he had to make it difficult for both sides to win, or else he would not be able to show his prowess and would not have anything to show for it.
Xiao Li and the others still didn't know that they had been tricked into an exciting battle. They were struggling to leave this Earth Kun headquarters that they loathed. After they broke through the mechanism of the eighth floor, they immediately headed towards the entrance to the fourth floor. With the mechanism map in their hands, they naturally knew how to walk quickly, so they specially searched for shortcuts, and very quickly arrived at a remote area on the fourth floor. There, they found a small passage leading to the fifth floor's treasure trove.
It was worth mentioning Old Zhao and Little Ying Ying. The two of them could be considered lucky. After Xiao Li sent them into the winding tunnel, they followed the tunnel back to the peak of the mountain. Since the main altar was in chaos, no one had the time to look for trouble with the two of them. Therefore, they did not encounter any danger. However, Old Zhao did not have much rations to eat, so it was only enough for him to make a living. They had separated for an entire night and a day. Seeing that the sun was about to set, Old Zhao sighed in his heart: It seems that Xiao Li won't be able to return. She caressed his head, which was sleeping soundly in her arms.
After spending some time with Old Zhao, she could feel Old Zhao's genuine concern for her, so she relied heavily on him. That was why she would always sleep in his arms. At this time, Old Zhao woke up from his stupor with a gentle caress from his hands. Looking at Old Zhao's somewhat absent-minded gaze, he unconsciously opened his mouth and asked: ”Uncle, why is Uncle Xiao not back yet? Did he get caught by the bad guys? ”
Old Zhao saw that there was a rabbit like expression of shock on Lil 'Ying's pale face and could not help but say, ”No, your Uncle Xiao is so good at killing, he must have killed those bad guys. Maybe he is …” ”It could be...”
Xiao Ying asked, ”What could it be?”
Old Zhao smiled and said, ”Maybe I killed them too happily. I forgot to come back for a while, but I should be back soon. Ying Ying, sleep a little more. Maybe Uncle Xiao will be back when you wake up. ” Actually, Old Zhao himself was lamenting in his heart: Maybe he really will be back after a nap! His eyes unconsciously revealed a deep sense of sorrow. He knew that if Xiao Li died, what fate awaited them. Thinking of this, he unconsciously looked at the distant shadows of the iron cages and sighed in his heart: Maybe Xiao Li shouldn't have come here? If he didn't come and didn't bring out Xiao Ying, perhaps she could still live, but now, she was definitely going to die, right? It was really hard to predict when the number of people would change. They thought they were here to save him, but in the end, it might have turned into a harmful outcome. Sigh, let's not think about such useless things and see if there is any way to send this poor child out! It could also be considered as helping him fulfill his unfulfilled last wish! How could I have predicted that I would end my life here, in the last moments of my life, while fulfilling my last wishes for a stranger? He had originally thought that he would only live his entire life for her, but in the end, this was the end. Destiny! It was impossible to defy fate!
On the other side, Yin Sun had already gathered his men. With a wave of his hand, he led his men in chasing after Xiao Li. Along the way, Yin Sun caught up to Xiao Li and his men. Although he caught up to Xiao Li, he didn't make a move because he had been looking for a suitable place to give Xiao Li a desperate struggle.
Now that Yin Sun had chosen the location, he had decided on the path Xiao Li had to take, the path that led to the fifth level. He first deployed quite a few of his men to ambush them. Each of them had several handfuls of bullets in their hands. Xiao Li had broken through the activation mechanism of the secret mechanism, but the gunpowder had remained intact. Therefore, it was quite quick for Yin Sun to have his men split up and remove several of them.
Yin Sun was followed by Chen Donglai, Xue, and the other envoys, followed by the foreign delegates from the main altar. As for the elders, they had all been killed by him, but not a single one remained. As for the deacons, they had all gone to lead their underlings to set up an ambush.
It was worth mentioning that Hong Tonghong's guest official was among them. He did not think that he would help Little Monkey out to report on Xiao Li's behalf out of gratitude, and that he would bring such a great disaster to the main altar. He had also heard that Xiao Li had stolen the treasures from the Altar, causing him to feel even more confused. He also had his own reasons for coming to the earth's core headquarters. Before, he had tried to steal a treasure, but he was deterred by the mechanism of no return. The longer he stayed at the earth's core headquarters, the more frustrated he became, so he often used the cultivation of his disciples to relieve his boredom. Today, after knowing that a treasure could change hands, his heart naturally had a few bruises.
On the other side, Xiao Li was getting closer and closer to the small tunnel on the map. However, his heart was feeling empty and anxious for no reason. The people from the main base, who had been following him all this time, actually didn't follow him. He also knew that something was going to happen, so he immediately pointed to the back of Ling Qingyun and wrote on his hand: ”The people from the back have retreated. There seems to be some accidents, so everyone should be careful.”
He felt that his brother had matured a lot in the time that he had been gone from this world. He knew that a martial artist must be vigilant, and if he did not even have this little bit of awareness, then his miserable end would not be far away. Xiao Li was now on the alert of the martial arts people. He was not as innocent as he used to be when they first met. He could do whatever he wanted. Although he lacked the cute simplicity, he had the charisma of a leader. After all, they simply could not be used as a protective barrier. They needed to be vigilant to protect their own life, so Ling Qingyun was very pleased. During this period of time, Xiao Li's performance had made him very confident that his brother would be able to survive in the underworld. He was able to grasp the overall situation and arrange the best defense for everyone around him, giving him the ability to protect himself.
Ling Qingyun and Ji Yan glanced at each other, and knew that the other party had also noticed the movements of the tails behind them. Both parties slightly nodded their heads, knowing that danger was approaching. When Xiao Li saw the expressions on the two of them, he knew that his reminder was unnecessary.
At this moment, the four of them were still being supported by the little monkey, Xiao Li was leading the way, and Ling Qingyun was following behind.
The closer he got to his target, the more anxious Xiao Li became. He himself was baffled. He knew that the four of them could reach the top as fast as they could. Could Yin Sun even ambush him? The traps in the secret field had completely paralyzed them.
Although he did not realize that Yin Sun could come up with any plots, he was still extremely vigilant. Therefore, he slowed down his pace, focusing on his surroundings as he walked. At this moment, they were walking in the open area of the fourth floor. This floor was originally a large public square. The surroundings were dark and heavy. Only the torches in their hands and the light coming from the exit of the passage could be seen.
