As the words fell, screams were heard behind him. It was the people who had just tried to return the same way and were met by the manor guards who were chasing them.
"What's going on? Didn't they say there were only twenty people?"
The others followed Bai Chi and Luo Yunxiao and fled in panic, cursing. Some even began to suspect that Bai Chi and Luo Yunxiao had ulterior motives and were deliberately concealing something.
Fortunately, there are also some people with brains.
"Idiot, there's a tunnel here, so why shouldn't there be tunnels elsewhere? How could such a large manor have only twenty guards?"
Of course, some people gritted their teeth.
"Those few people must have alarmed them, so they triggered the alarm!"
I'm talking about the other few people who didn't come to the cabin.
They didn't know that the three people were already dead. As for triggering the alarm, it was exactly as they guessed. Someone discovered the bodies hidden in the dark and discovered that someone had broken in.
Fortunately, when they heard the noise, everyone had already gotten out of the tunnel and walked some distance. In addition, there were lights all around them, so there was no visual obstruction.
But soon, someone noticed something was wrong.
"Oh no! The oil lamp spilled!"
Someone screamed, interrupting the cursing in the crowd.
Bai Chi took a glance and saw that the oil lamps on both sides of the passage were tilting slightly, and the grease inside had already slid onto the steps.
This grease was obviously specially made, with a lot of debris in it, like mini sparks, which were now rapidly spreading along the speed of the grease and lighting up little by little.
Panic spread among the crowd.
"They want to burn us to death in the tunnel, what should we do now!"
Bai Chi didn't care about other people, but only noticed that Luo Yunxiao was holding his fingers tightly.
Return the handshake and comfort.
A flash of light appeared in front of him, and Bai Chi's speed increased even faster, almost pulling Luo Yunxiao with him. In a breath, he left the others several meters behind.
"There's air circulation ahead, we're almost at the exit!"
This sound is to remind the people behind that if they don't want to be burned to death, they must speed up.
The effect is naturally nothing to say.
And Baichi was not lying. The exit was indeed approaching, but he still had a kind heart and used his mental power to control the speed of the oil lamp's tilt.
"Master, be careful. The soldiers in the cave have assembled."
Xiao Hei gave a timely reminder.
On the screen in front of it was a three-dimensional topographic map of the entire central island, but in the middle of the entire central island, below the Duke's manor, there was a vacuum.
A huge cave and an underground river run across the entire island.
The underground river exists naturally, but the cave was artificially expanded. Not only was the cave expanded, but the other end of the underground river was completely hollowed out using the cave as the starting point.
The space is so large that even a large ship can sail in and out freely.
This was also what Luo Yunxiao had discovered before. The trees in the area from the manor to the bay were not as tall, strong and lush as those in other places.
After all, the mountain below is almost hollowed out, so it would be strange if it could grow well.
In just a few breaths, the scene in front of him suddenly became dark, and then the sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard.
Bai Chi swung his sword with a sword flower, and the long sword was swung tightly, blocking all the arrows. Many arrows were bounced back. For a while, there were screams everywhere, and the archers' team was instantly in chaos.
Luo Yunxiao twisted his wrist and broke free from Bai Chi's hand: "Don't worry about me, just protect yourself."
His weapon was a two-handed dagger, suitable for close combat. He took advantage of the enemy's surprise and got close to them. He killed them one by one with one sword, and directly cut their necks. Screams and the smell of blood instantly spread in the cold cave.
This action of the two also gave the others behind them some time to react, and after they noticed the danger outside the cave, they responded in time.
One side thought they had the upper hand, outnumbered people, and even some people were careless.
One side had been hunted for a month, and in order to be able to leave, they forced themselves to endure the killing intent for several days.
Even if it was just to vent, he was almost bloodthirsty at this moment.
With one sword, he cut off two heads, and his incandescent eyes searched for Luo Yunxiao, then he went towards him.
There were dozens of corpses lying around Luo Yunxiao, and there were also many enemies around him, but no one could get close to him.
The slender figure tore open the crowd surrounding Luo Yunxiao and blocked the big knife that was trying to launch a sneak attack with a sword.
The golden spears collided, sparks flew, the slender sword remained motionless, and the big knife was directly cracked open.
At the same time, he kicked the man in the heart, sending him flying several meters and knocking down a large group of people.
"I hear the sound of water. There's a river here. Let's get out of here first!"
This is the purpose of incandescence.
However, Luo Yunxiao did not follow Bai Chi away, but instead moved even faster.
"There aren't many of them, let's deal with them first."
Well, Bai Chi could only suppress the idea of leaving immediately.
Fortunately, what Luo Yunxiao said was correct. There were not many people there to begin with, and it was the middle of the night, so they attacked suddenly and caught everyone off guard.
In less than twenty minutes, only a dozen or so guards of the Duke who had surrounded them were left. Seeing this, they said hello and turned around and ran away.
However, because of the long delay, all the grease in the tunnel behind him finally poured out and continued to spread along the tunnel exit.
"There are stones here, probably used to block the entrance to the cave."
Someone with sharp eyes discovered stones and a pile of mud and sand near the tunnel exit.
The stones even blocked some of the tunnel exit, and the grease was spreading out from the cracks in the stones.
"They just tried to block the tunnel and burn us to death in there!"
Some people saw the truth at a glance and their faces turned ugly.
It's not about blocking them, it's just about blocking the grease that's left behind.
If it weren't for the incandescent control that slowed down the pouring of the grease, they would have been burned to death in there long ago and would have had no chance of escape.
As for the stones and mud, they were just to prevent the grease and flames from destroying the things inside the cave.
That's all.
Someone soon discovered the truth and hurriedly brought over a bag of soil.
"Oh no! Quickly block the hole, or it will burn over!"
A steady stream of grease is still flowing out of the tunnel exit, and I don’t know how much is left behind.
And now, the flames have reached the first human corpse.
However, Bai Chi glanced at the remaining people and found that they were indeed the ones who had been fighting in the forest for a month and did not dare to let their guard down even in the dark.
In addition to those killed by him and Luo Yunxiao, dozens of enemies were killed or wounded, and their own side lost two people.
"Don't worry about them, there's a boat ahead, they're about to run away, let's get out of here quickly!"
