Chapter 1499 Go Save Him
Seeing that the senior sister had made up her mind, Steve could only nod and whispered, "Okay, senior sister, then you can bring a few more people to help find the person, and leave the inventory of the treasure in the secret room to me!"
"Okay, then you guys should be careful too!"
Nie Yao patted Steve's arm, then gathered a few natives and left the secret room to look for the whereabouts of Li Jinxing and his adoptive father.
"Dad, Li Jinxing, are you there?" Nie Yao held a flashlight, shone it around, and called out loudly.
She didn't know if they were buried under some fallen rocks, so she could only shout as loud as she could so that they could hear her!
"Li Jinxing——"
"dad--"
Nie Yao always felt that Li Jinxing and his adoptive father could not have gone too far, so she told the indigenous people who followed her to pay attention to the road under their feet to see if there were any obvious large rocks that had fallen!
The originally flat corridor was now filled with various large and small stones. It could be seen that the earthquake caused by the opening of the secret room had a huge impact on the entire underground palace!
Nie Yao wasn't sure if they were knocked unconscious by the stones, so she could only call out to them while searching carefully with a flashlight until she heard a slight noise not far away.
"It seems like there is someone ahead!" said one of the natives. Nie Yao also called on everyone to stop first. She listened carefully and indeed heard a low panting sound, not far ahead!
"Hurry!" Nie Yao waved her hand and gave an order, and everyone hurriedly strode towards the direction where the noise came from. For safety reasons, the two natives even walked in front of Nie Yao.
"Found it!" One of the natives was the first to discover Professor Fred lying on the ground with a frown on his face, and he shouted loudly.
Nie Yao also picked up the flashlight and shone it over. Sure enough, she saw her adoptive father sitting in a corner, with a faint trace of blood on his forehead. She didn't know if he was hit by a falling rock, or if it was due to something else...
"Dad, why are you here?" Nie Yao ran over and held her adoptive father. Seeing that he was covered in dust and had blood on his forehead, she asked worriedly.
One of the natives quickly picked up the prepared herbs and placed them on Professor Fred's forehead to help him stop the bleeding.
Nie Yao picked up the water cup she had brought with her, helped her adoptive father pour water for him, and asked worriedly, "Dad, how are you? Are you seriously injured? I'll have someone come down and take you to the hospital!"
"Don't worry about me, Li Jinxing..." Professor Fred took a breath, waved his hand, endured the pain from his forehead, grabbed Nie Yao's wrist, and said with some difficulty.
"What happened to Li Jinxing?" Nie Yao couldn't help but feel nervous when she heard her adoptive father mention Li Jinxing. She frowned and asked, "Shouldn't he be by your side to protect you?"
"He...something happened to him..." Professor Fred spoke intermittently, but it was enough to make Nie Yao stare in disbelief.
"What did you say? What happened to him? Wasn't he with you just now?" Nie Yao asked anxiously.
"Just now when you were opening the secret room... there was a sandstorm..." Professor Fred sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "A gangster rushed over with a weapon in his hand. Li Jinxing was trying to protect me and got hit by him..."
He said this to Nie Yao worriedly, "Ivy, hurry, they won't go far... I think they're heading towards the altar behind the underground palace... Go and save him..."
Nie Yao's heart was in her throat. Seeing that her adoptive father's injuries were not that serious and the blood on his forehead had quickly stopped, she said to the natives, "I'll leave my adoptive father to you. I'll go rescue Li Jinxing. Help me lift him up and get him outside!"
One of the leading aboriginals also knew that something had happened to Li Jinxing, and he quickly said to Nie Yao: "Your Highness is in trouble, we can't just sit back and watch, we have to save His Highness too!"
"How about this, you two take care of my adoptive father, and the remaining three of you come with me to rescue Li Jinxing!" Nie Yao thought about it and made the decision as quickly as possible.
The natives did not refute. Two of them were left to help the injured Professor Fred out of the underground palace, and the rest followed Nie Yao, following the corridor of the underground palace, crossing the streams on both sides of the corridor, and heading in the direction Professor Fred said.
"Li Jinxing--" Nie Yao was not afraid that the criminals would hear her voice, and continued to shout loudly, with an uneasy guess in her heart.
The guards outside are very strict, and there are probably not many options for the criminals who can take the opportunity to sneak into the underground palace and even reach them. They can injure Li Jinxing here...
The most likely possibility is that Osiris has a mental problem!
But wasn't Osiris killed in the explosion in the Sultan's manor before? Could it be that he managed to escape after all, and even sneaked here for revenge, and came to the underground palace during the blue moon?
Thinking of this possibility, Nie Yao subconsciously tightened the flashlight in her hand, calling out to Li Jinxing while shouting, "Osiris, you are a man, come out, I know it's you!"
After she finished speaking, there was still no response. She continued with a sneer, "Osiris, I know you harbor hatred. It just so happens that the blue moon has arrived today, and the treasures of the underground palace have been opened. Don't you want to see it with your own eyes?"
After Nie Yao finished speaking, she heard a sound not far away. Even the natives whispered, "It sounds like breathing..."
Nie Yao made a "hush" gesture and listened carefully. She seemed to really hear the voices of two people. She guessed that Osiris was holding Li Jinxing and was really nearby.
"Osiris, I know you are here. Why don't you respond to me? Don't you want to know why you claim to be the reincarnation of Hades, but have failed so miserably?"
Her provocation really worked, and an annoyed and suppressed voice came into her ears at this time.
"I have not failed. I have not failed at all. No one can defeat me or Osiris!"
The voice belonged to none other than Osiris!
Nie Yao carefully discerned the direction of the sound. Sure enough, although her adoptive father had been hit on the head, he had guessed the direction with his excellent memory and the discernment honed by archaeology...
Osiris, who held Li Jinxing hostage, actually took Li Jinxing to the depths of the underground palace, which was an open space at the back surrounded by several streams!
That is the altar of the underground palace, and the entire underground palace is built to imitate the Eye of Horus, right in the center of the eyeball!
Nie Yao really didn't understand why Osiris took Li Jinxing hostage and came to this place alone instead of going to the secret room full of treasures!
