C77 (2/2)

I waved my hand and called out a few times, but we were in the downstream wind, so our words were quickly blown away by the wind. I waved my hand and shouted a few times, but we were in the downstream wind, so our words were quickly blown away by the wind.

I looked back at my surroundings. After the sluice was released, the flood surged down, filling up the sunken area with Dark River s, forming a roaring dark river. The water was so strong that there was no place to land on both sides of the river, making it impossible for us to flow through.

The Dark River flowed towards the sunken place continuously, and the water level rose. We saw an environment we had never seen before, and we saw that halfway up the mountain, there was actually a broken staircase, hanging in the air, and we didn't know where it led to.

But I could see that we were standing in a sunken area before, and even if I looked up, I wouldn't be able to see this place. Now that the water level is rising and we're standing on top of the house we've flipped over, we can see the stairs that jutted out from the Crack Mouth.

It should have been built by the People of White Kingdom back then, but after the Japanese entered, he constructed a dam, causing the Crack Mouth to be abandoned.

When I saw the stairs, my heart couldn't help but tighten. I couldn't help but think of the circular stone steps that we went through previously. If it wasn't for the fact that we found a Jia Huai that could pass through the walls to make a hole, we would have found the altar by following the Jia Huai's cave entrance.

What if he entered the stone stairs from the Crack Mouth and encountered another cycle?

Shaking my head, I cast aside the messy thoughts in my mind. I am still in the dark river, so whether I can escape or not is still a problem.

”Mm …” ”Ying …”

Suddenly, a light moan came out. It was only then that I noticed Ji Xiang who was lying on the Three Defensive Gate, panting heavily, her face extremely pale, her chest moving up and down continuously, as though she was having difficulty breathing, and her waist area was covered with fresh blood. I became anxious, upon squatting down, I saw that a metal rod that was as deep as a palm had already been inserted into her lower back, unable to be pulled out.

This was an iron frame used to stabilize the projector. It should have been when the room was turned upside down, that Ji Xiang crashed into it in the chaos, thus she stabbed into Ji Xiang's waist.

Zhu Yingqiong held Ji Xiang tightly, pressing down on her wounds, ”It's fine, don't be nervous. When Yov Dahai and the monk come down, they will definitely save you with their medicine boxes in their backpacks!”

Earlier, when I was attacked by Duan Hui, I saw Ji Xiang pull on Duan Hui's leg, so I was not hit in the head. If it wasn't for Ji Xiang, I would have already become a corpse.

It's because I don't understand why Ji Xiang was mixed up with the group of people that Duan Hui was organizing, and why she did so many things in the dark.

”It's useless. You don't have to lie to me anymore. Actually, ever since the day I came up the mountain, I had already thought of this consequence. I just didn't think of it …”

Ji Xiang grabbed Zhu Yingqiong's arm, as more and more blood was flowing out from the Three Defensive Gate. I will die so quickly. Sorry, I've been lying to you guys before, but when I met you guys, I kept pretending to be crazy! ”

”Pretending to be crazy?”

I was instantly stupefied, and looked at Ji Xiang in disbelief. I thought to myself that Hai Yang had indeed guessed correctly, Ji Xiang had been pretending to be crazy and play dumb, but I don't understand, why would she do that?

What is the purpose of acting crazy?

Also, whether or not the Ji Xiang we met at Fort House was her, why didn't she pretend to be crazy at that time? You said you don't know us, and you haven't even seen us?

And how did they escape from the sealed Fort House back then?

These were all questions that were hidden in my heart, but I didn't expect that the story I heard next would have such a tragic background, and that the source of all of this was the human heart.
