The expressions on both of their faces were not good. Chen Li glanced at the man beside her. This is an era where power is supreme, and the powerful have the final say. For the common people, this is a disaster.
The common people are like ants, being slaughtered by these powerful people.
Many times, even if you have suffered great pain and want to report to the authorities, you still have to find ways to do so, and sometimes you will encounter situations where officials protect each other.
Failure to redress grievances and instead suffering misfortune is a very common and not surprising situation among the lower-class people.
However, these people are playing too big. I don’t know how many lives have been lost in this mine.
And these people cannot be nameless people. So many people disappeared, didn’t anyone notice?
No, there is another situation. During the flood last year, people were displaced. Even if more people disappeared for no reason, no one would suspect it.
But this is just too much of a coincidence.
Pei Yu noticed that Chen Li's gaze stopped on him, and he looked sideways at her, but unexpectedly, she looked away.
The next second, the girl's cold voice rang out in the cave, and in this spacious place, there was a sense of ethereality.
"Master Wei, what do you think about this?"
Seeing that her face was not good, thinking about what he encountered today, Pei Yu frowned and said softly: "Miss Shen, don't worry. Although I am not a good person, I am not a wicked person who does many evil things."
“This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to do, so Miss Shen, please relax.”
Moreover, not all powerful people are like this. He did not say this.
Because there is really no credibility, and he knows very well how corrupt this country has become.
Maybe now even ordinary people don’t believe it, because when they encountered natural disasters and were forced to leave their homes and needed help the most, the court did nothing.
"Well, I believe what Master Wei said."
He is indeed not a good person, but coincidentally, I am not a good person either, so they do have some similarities.
"It's getting dark outside, let's go."
Pei Yu shook his head, frowned, and pointed at the pit, "Miss Shen, I'm going down to get something and will be back soon."
Seeing that Chen Li agreed, he flew down gracefully with the torch in his hand.
Chen Li attached a strand of her mental power to the hem of his clothes, and thus could clearly see that Wei Zian had a purpose.
He just happened to land on a protruding rock, perfectly avoiding the corpses and little cuties below.
A few seconds later, he started to use his skills again and flew straight to the depths of the corpse pit. Each time he landed, he was very clever in where he landed.
Soon, Chen Li saw two swaying little white flowers, which were in stark contrast to the eerie, dark and strange corpse pit, as if they were fairies that had fallen into hell.
Pei Yu dragged the small white flower plant away. At this moment, a dark figure pounced on him from behind.
It was a pitch-black wolfhound, its body covered in black stuff and broken pieces of meat, with even maggots falling from it as it ran. Chen Li only took a quick look at it before it disappeared from sight.
However, Pei Yu seemed to be prepared. He quickly dropped the torch in his hand, dodged sideways, and drew out the soft knife at his waist. He swung the knife down, and the black wolfhound failed to dodge in time and was hit on the back.
“Ah~”
The timing of its sneak attack was very clever, just at the moment when Pei Yu pulled up the little white flower.
But if Pei Yu was a step slower, his neck would be bitten by him.
As the howl sounded, more than a dozen identical wolfhounds appeared around, stepping on the corpses at the bottom of the pit and running towards Pei Yu.
The torch had gone out, and there was no light around. Pei Yu carefully put the flowers into his arms, his face extremely ugly.
These wolfhounds have lived in a dark environment for a long time and can accurately determine Pei Yu's location without the need for light.
Chen Li above couldn't help but worry for Wei Zian. These wolfhounds were very agile, and most importantly, they had lived at the bottom of the pit for so long that it was obvious what they ate.
If I were to get bitten, Tsk, Chen Li thought of Wei Zian's gloomy face just now and laughed unkindly.
After traveling with Wei Zian for so long, she could finally see that this guy had some of the bad habits of a playboy.
Due to limited conditions now, he basically changes his clothes every day, and that is if they are not dirty.
If it gets dirty, I will change it immediately. Now, hahaha!
It’s not that she doesn’t want to go down and help him, but how can she, an ordinary person with no internal strength, go down?
Chen Li said that she really couldn't do anything!
Pei Yu below was already fighting with more than a dozen wolfhounds. These wolfhounds were as big as wolves, and were also quite fast and powerful.
“Roar~”
He took the soft sword in his hand and killed all the approaching wolfhounds, and used his powerful internal strength to kill the remaining wolfhounds one by one.
Seeing him use his internal force again, Chen Li raised her eyebrows. This was similar to her own spiritual ability.
However, there are substantial differences between the two.
Soon, Pei Yu came with a dark face. Chen Li looked him over carefully and found several drops of blood on the hem of his clothes. Well, this was the reason.
"Sorry, I just dropped the torch."
The visibility in the cave was dim, and the lack of a torch would have a slight impact on the two of them, but not much.
Chen Li smiled and took out a torch from behind her, "It's okay, I just picked it up nearby."
After saying that, he took out a tinder, quickly lit the torch, and successfully saw a stinky face.
Pei Yu curled the corners of his lips and said, "Let's go."
"OK!"
Hearing her cheerful tone, Pei Yu asked, "Miss Shen seems to be in a good mood?"
"It's okay!" Chen Li asked back, "But Master Wei seems to be in a bad mood?"
This is asking a question even though you already know the answer.
He didn't reply, and Chen Li didn't expect him to reply. She asked again, "Then you say it shouldn't be the case! The noble young master got such a rare medicinal herb, so he should be in a good mood."
Pei Yu paused for a moment, but he wasn't too surprised. He asked in a low voice, "Miss Shen, do you know Yinxuecao?"
Yin-blood grass?
Chen Li chewed these three words slowly. The name was very consistent with its growing environment.
"I don't know him, but the fact that you, Master Wei, are willing to go down into this corpse pit proves that he is not a simple person, doesn't it?"
Pei Yu nodded. Although Miss Shen didn't know the Yinxue Grass, she was a smart person and would understand many things without being told.
"Yinxue grass likes to grow in dark places like this one, where there are dead bones and rotting corpses. It's very rare to see it normally, let alone one that's blooming."
"Its flowers only bloom for two days, and they must be picked when they are in full bloom to be effective."
Pei Yu briefly explained the Yinxuecao to Chen Li, but did not explain what it was used for.
