From the time the Duke's guards escaped to the time they caught up with them, there were only a few words in between, less than a minute.
In just a short while, those people had rushed to the big ship in the center of the cave, and kept calling on the sailors on the ship to set sail quickly.
They want to escape!
Bai Chi saw it most clearly. He pulled Luo Yunxiao and turned to leave. Even though he was looking directly at the fire in the previous second and facing darkness in the next second, his vision was not obstructed at all.
The others were not so lucky. After they had turned their backs on the flames, everything went dark before their eyes. By the time they had adjusted themselves, Bai Chi was almost touching the ship.
As for Luo Yunxiao, he didn't even need to look at the road, he just boldly followed Bai Chi and ran. Even if he felt like he was stepping on air sometimes, he would still be as steady as if he were on flat ground once he took a step.
"Quick! Get out of here quickly, we can't let them catch up!"
His voice was full of panic and fear. He obviously recognized Bai Chi and Luo Yunxiao, the two guys who killed the most people and were the most ruthless!
Unfortunately, it was too late. As the voice fell, Bai Chi suddenly used his hand to gain leverage and threw Luo Yunxiao out.
The two of them cooperated well, and even without communicating in advance, Luo Yunxiao still knew what Bai Chi meant.
The moment he landed, he stabbed out with his two-handed swords, and the two people in front of him were bleeding from their necks.
The remaining people were greatly stimulated: "I will fight you!"
Then he rushed up, but Bai Chi had already jumped onto the deck and did not forget to throw a few ropes to the shore.
When he turned around, he stabbed the two people with his backhand, and they were pierced into a string.
When he pulled it out with force, the blood sprayed directly onto the sail.
The ship shook a few times, and the anchor that fixed the ship was finally pulled out, and the ship began to move along the direction of the water flow.
At this time, the people behind finally caught up with the big ship.
The gangplank for getting on the boat had already been put away. Luo Yunxiao was thrown onto the boat just now, and Bai Chi jumped up directly, almost flying.
The remaining people obviously did not have this ability, not to mention the large ship that was already several meters away from the shore.
Fortunately, the rope that Bai Chi had just thrown out came in handy. Someone reacted quickly, grabbed the rope and climbed onto the boat, then threw the rope back into the water.
The people in the cabin finally noticed that someone was boarding the ship, and people came up one after another. Unfortunately, most of them had already been dealt with by Luo Yunxiao and Bai Chi, and their resistance was futile.
Soon all the people on the deck were subdued. Bai Chi deliberately left some of them alive because he had something to ask.
At this time, the ship had already moved away about a hundred meters, and the fire in the cave had spread. The corpses left at the entrance of the tunnel became good fuel, and the raging fire also brought with it a disgusting burnt smell.
Bai Chi just took a look and wiped the blood off the sword on the canvas.
"Yunxiao, wait for me up there. I'll go down and take a look."
As he finished speaking, the people had already entered the cabin, and screams appeared before the sound of weapons.
Luo Yunxiao stood at the entrance, not saying a word, just cleaning the blood off his two-handed dagger.
This alone is enough to stop everyone else.
There were torches on the boat, and everyone could see clearly that Luo Yunxiao and Bai Chi were not injured, and even their clothes were not torn.
How strong are these two guys?
"Yunxiao, where are we going now?"
Finally, it was David who stepped forward.
Because he was a little familiar with Bai Chi Luo Yunxiao, he indirectly became the spokesperson for the others and was responsible for talking to these two people.
"Leave the island. The exit of this underground river is in the nearby bay. After exiting, you can go directly back to the land."
Luo Yunxiao's answer made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
They were not worried about the direction of the ship, but were concerned about the clean and efficient actions taken by the two men just now.
Luo Yunxiao's willingness to answer at least shows that his attitude is friendly.
Of course, that's assuming no one messes with them.
Everyone knows this.
Everyone knows what happened to those who treated them as prey and tried to hunt them.
Some were heard from other people, and some were identified from the scars on some corpses.
Screams were heard from the cabin from time to time, and the sound did not disappear, but continued.
Obviously this time, Bai Chi did not kill anyone directly, but he did not let anyone have an easy time either.
Across the deck, the screams became muffled, but even more heart-wrenching.
When he came out of the cabin again, it was pitch black all around. Even the fire in the cave could not be seen. There were only a few scattered torches on the boat.
The bodies were thrown into the underground river to feed the fish, and the remaining survivors were tied up. Some were questioning them, while others were treating their wounds.
Luo Yunxiao reached out and pulled up Bai Chi, who had just leaned out of the cabin.
"Two people stayed at the tunnel entrance, and one was too badly injured to get on the boat. The rest are here."
Luo Yunxiao explained to him the situation on the deck.
"There are seven survivors left. David and Art are asking about what they know. They are waiting for you to come up so they can ask you what you will do when you return to the mainland."
Bai Chi was dragging a bamboo basket with food and water jars in it.
"Of course, we should make this matter public first, and then go and settle the score with Earl Ryan. Oh, and the Grand Duke of Leicester. If I'm not mistaken, he will send someone to greet us as soon as the ship leaves the island."
Seeing Bai Chi coming out, David, who was walking over, happened to hear the last sentence and couldn't help but take two quick steps.
"Incandescent, what did you mean just now? What is the Duke of Leicester going to do?"
As soon as he said this, he saw both of them looking at him. He then realized what was happening and couldn't help but frown.
"Could it be that what we guessed before was true, that the Duke of Leicester needs young and strong blood?"
Obviously, they didn't get any more information from the survivors.
"What? It's actually true!"
"It is said that the Earl of Leicester lived to be 101 years old. Can drinking blood really prolong life?"
The people who followed behind also heard David's words, and they talked about it a lot, even with greed and desire.
If this is true…
Unfortunately, a cold snort interrupted their fantasy.
"If drinking blood can make you immortal, will it be his turn?"
It’s Luo Yunxiao.
He didn't even glance at anyone else, but turned to look intently at Bai Chi.
"As far as I know, the Grand Duke of Leicester has changed three generations in the past century, but they use the name of the first Duke and claim to be the same person."
Bai Chi pondered for a moment, "It's said that the Duke of Leicester was a follower of the first king. The first king once issued an order that as long as the Duke of Leicester was alive, his title would never be revoked, no matter what the reason."
However, Leicester's eldest son once accidentally killed the prince. If he succeeds to the throne, even if his title is not directly deprived, it will be stripped.
From a duke to a marquis.
The difference of one word makes a world of difference in status.
