Chapter 53: The final flash of light, lasting only three quarters of an hour
At the entrance of the mine, the sound of quarrying could be heard from inside.
After entering disguised as a guard, he was even more shocked by the scene inside.
It wasn’t really dark in the cave, because they were doing alchemy, the flames were shooting up into the sky, and it was very hot.
A man wearing the same manager's clothes as them was whipping the quarry workers to drive them away.
Almost everyone has a few red marks on their body.
It is especially common among the elderly and young.
Every laborer was shirtless and working non-stop.
They are all dark and thin.
"That old man and that young man are both from Niujia Village!"
Although it was a bit far away, Deng Youning, who had good eyesight, recognized several people who were taken away from the entrance of Niujia Village yesterday.
In just one day, their upper bodies were already covered with bruises, but they continued to work.
Deng Youning already knew that this world was a cannibalistic world, so she wasn't too surprised.
But since she had seen their suffering with her own eyes, she couldn't bear to just leave it alone.
"There are countless sufferings in the world, and we cannot save them all."
Li Tianzhuo knew that she was kind-hearted, and fearing that she might be too deeply touched, he whispered a word of comfort.
Deng Youning just nodded.
Of course she understood these principles after living a new life.
"I'm going to go look for my son. Can you guys help me guard the cave entrance and provide support?"
The old lady had seen her son and was about to take action.
"Okay, be careful."
When she left, Deng Youning did not forget to give her a bottle of poison for self-defense.
Li Tianzhuo: "I'll go look around too."
"I'll go with you."
Deng Youning knew that he wanted to explore the situation in the cave and lead the Silver Dragon Guards.
She took out a charcoal pencil and a handkerchief, and signaled Li Tianzhuo that he could draw the map.
It was more convenient for the two men to wear guards' uniforms, and the miners didn't even dare to raise their heads when they saw them.
When the other guards saw them, Li Tianzhuo just replied that they were new and therefore unfamiliar.
Everything went smoothly until the old woman rescued her son and left the mine.
The old lady's son was seriously injured, so Li Tianzhuo and the old lady supported him together.
Several people quickly went down the mountain, thinking of returning to the village first.
However, the guards who were poisoned to death by Deng Youning had already been found in the mine.
"Oh no! Someone just entered the cave pretending to be someone else!"
A middle-aged man with an extraordinary appearance was terrified.
Anyone who can pass through the Thousand Machine Array and find the real mine is definitely not a good person.
The man ordered sternly, "Call everyone to chase them. They should not have left the mine yet."
Following the order, a guard ran to an open space not far away and set off a smoke bomb.
As soon as the signal went out, the guards who were lying in ambush all around the mine rushed towards the woods in a black mass.
Li Tianzhuo, Deng Youning and others also saw the fire.
The two thought they would be exposed, but they didn't expect it to be so soon. They haven't even passed the Thousand Machine Array yet.
"No, we have to speed up."
Li Tianzhuo frowned nervously, took the initiative to carry the old lady's son on his back, and walked quickly forward.
Just as they walked down the mountain and were about to enter the woods, countless men in black rushed out from all directions, each holding a long knife in their hands.
Deng Youning and Ying Shi also exchanged glances.
If you want to get out safely, it won’t be easy!
Li Tianzhuo also put down the old lady's son and told the old lady, "Just take good care of your son and don't hold us back."
They also saw the old lady's lightness skills when they passed the Thousand Machine Array just now.
But she is older.
I don't expect to help, I just ask you not to cause trouble!
Deng Youning took the lead and poisoned first.
But the amount of poison powder is limited and not endless.
Under the cover of Ying Shi and Li Tianzhuo, she played the flute to call out the poisonous insects in the surrounding mountains.
Although they won the first wave, the second wave of men in black arrived as expected.
These black-clad guards were very smart and knew how to use fire to deal with Deng Youning's poisonous insects.
There is no other choice but to use force!
She picked up the knives dropped by the dead guards on the ground, rushed forward and fought with everyone.
A long knife hissed through the wind in her hand. Her light body movements and quick, accurate and ruthless attacks allowed her to move through the crowd like a dragon.
Li Tianzhuo is different from them as master and servant.
He only knows some martial arts moves, but has no internal energy, so it is difficult for him to fight.
Soon, the guards recognized that Li Tianzhuo was the weakest and began to besiege him.
He had great martial arts skills and did not make any moves, just running away.
His swallow-like figure made it difficult for the guards to catch him.
"Miss, isn't Lord Li the commander? Why haven't I seen him use any Kung Fu?"
Sakurashi's side can no longer hold on.
Seeing that Deng Youning was having a hard time fighting, she hoped that Li Tianzhuo would fight seriously and help them.
These guards were like soldiers that could be gathered together at will. Before one wave was defeated, another wave would arrive.
In just half an incense stick of time, they had already fought against more than a hundred people.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will eventually die of exhaustion if you keep wasting your energy like this.
"Yingshi, if you have the chance, take them and their son away first, and leave me alone."
She knew that there might be hundreds of people lying in ambush on the entire mountain.
It is simply a pipe dream for the three of them to break out today.
So the best way is to go as many as you can!
Hearing the conversation between the master and servant, Li Tianzhuo killed the guards who had been chasing him and shouted:
"Ningning, go with them. I'll cover you."
During the melee, several people gathered together and stood guard over the old lady and her son.
After getting a moment to catch his breath, Li Tianzhuo took out the book that he had taken from Deng Youning at Niu's house yesterday.
The Eighteen Soul-Fixing Meridians can temporarily restore internal strength.
Even though he would surely die if he stopped in three quarters of an hour, he thought it was worth it if he could ensure Ningning's safe escape.
I don't know why Xiu Ming and Jiang Yuan haven't come yet? !
"Don't do anything stupid!"
Seeing Li Tianzhuo take out the book and want to open up his eighteen meridians according to the instructions, Deng Youning instantly understood what he was going to do.
Deng Youning knew from a young age that Li Tianzhuo did not know martial arts.
Although no one knows how he became the commander of the Silver Dragon Guard, his martial arts skills have indeed not improved over the years.
"I can't lose you again!"
Li Tianzhuo shook his head and refused.
The word "again" in his words made Deng Youning very suspicious.
But she still had to continue fighting and couldn't distract herself to care about Li Tianzhuo.
While killing the enemies, she turned back to look at Li Tianzhuo, who was painfully opening up his meridians.
In the blink of an eye, three routes have been opened.
If all eighteen items were opened, the consequences would be disastrous.
Li Tianzhuo was from Nanxin. He came out of seclusion at the age of fourteen and became the leader of the entire Nanxin martial arts world.
But because he offended someone he shouldn't have offended, he was attacked by someone when he was in danger, his internal strength was destroyed, and he was hunted down.
This led to the story of meeting Deng Youning outside the Wanshe Valley.
If Li Tianzhuo recovered all his internal strength now, even if he couldn't kill all the guards in one breath, he could at least delay Deng Youning and the others' escape for three quarters of an hour.
Three quarters of an hour, with their lightness skills, it would be enough for them to leave the mine even with a seriously injured person.
"Li Tianzhuo, I told you to stop!"
Deng Youning was surrounded by too many guards and was unable to go over and stop him personally.
She could only shout helplessly.
He turned the grief in his heart into strength and chopped down the guards with every blow.
Li Tianzhuo has already opened ten meridians!
Every time a vein was reopened, it was a heart-wrenching pain for him.
The ten meridians made his legs shake.
But you also need to fight against the surrounding guards to prevent yourself from being hurt by them.
