Chapter 395 I’m not afraid of those who are aggressive, but I’m afraid of those who don’t care about their lives
The thrilling rumbling noise seemed to have come to an end, but in the huge bandit camp, there was no sound of screaming or escape, the silence was so eerie.
The poison placed in different places before took effect.
No matter if you drank water or had breakfast, anyone who was even slightly stained with water may be unaware of it at this moment.
Sang Zhixia didn't know if turning into a piece of barbecued meat that was blown away in her peaceful sleep was a relief. At this moment, all her attention was on Xu Yu's bleeding arm: "Your hand..."
"It's okay, just a little scratch."
Xu Yu forced a smile out of fear, put his injured arm back, panted, and pinched Sang Zhixia's face with his good hand: "It's a minor injury."
"Zhizhi, we can't stay in this mountain. Let's leave now."
Sang Zhixia understood the profound meaning of these words, and a chill ran like a whip from the heels to the top of the head, making the whole body cold.
"You mean, we can't even stay on this mountain?"
"How much gunpowder is hidden in Huwei Mountain?!"
Gunpowder is difficult to produce and is definitely a serious weapon for the court. Even most of the serious border guards have never seen gunpowder before.
How did a mere group of bandits get such a huge amount of gunpowder?
this……
Xu Yu was rarely so angry. He raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously, his eyes and eyebrows filled with disbelief: "I think it's weird too."
"If I hadn't broken into the secret room connected to Hu Wei's bedroom and seen it with my own eyes, anyone who told me would probably have thought it was a joke."
Xu Yu was really shocked. Now when he recalled the scene he had seen not long ago, sweat broke out on his back.
"The secret passages on the mountain weren't dug randomly. They were interconnected and blocked. From Hu Wei's bedroom down to the secret room, it was filled with gunpowder and kerosene."
"I also ran into a weird old lunatic in there."
Xu Yu was completely puzzled, and even now he still finds it very baffling.
When they met in a narrow road in the secret passage, the old man suddenly said "water prison" and then picked up his knife and chopped!
The secret room was narrow, and Xu Yu was afraid of the gunpowder on the ground and wanted to escape as quickly as possible. However, the old madman didn't care at all and just chased him and beat him to death.
Xu Yu used his arm to block the knife and escaped from the secret room. The old madman who was chasing him stopped chasing him and went back holding a candle!
The old man went back and lit the gunpowder!
The amount of gunpowder Xu Yu saw was enough to blow the entire Huwei Mountain into fireworks. Who knows where the next explosion will be!
A flash of light flashed through Sang Zhixia's mind, and she hesitated, "Is the old madman you're talking about the one with white hair and beard and a green shirt?"
Xu Yu was startled: "Zhizhi?"
"Is that person..."
"Don't be so nervous."
Sang Zhixia held Xu Yu's tense hand in a soothing manner and whispered a few words quickly into his ear.
Xu Yu's eyes suddenly flashed with knowledge, and he grabbed Sang Zhixia's hand and made a quick decision: "Let's go."
Old Qi's determination to drag everyone down with him was absolutely true. Staying here would do no good except being blown up like a firework by the crazy old man.
The sooner you escape, the sooner you can save your life.
I'm not afraid of those who are aggressive, but I'm afraid of those who don't care about their lives!
Cheng Qi said anxiously in a low voice: "Young Master, Boss, how about I go back..."
"Need not."
Sang Zhixia looked at Xu Yu's arm, which was constantly bleeding, and her eyes turned red with anxiety. She still spoke calmly, "Hu Wei hasn't come back yet. Mr. Qi won't blow up the whole mountain at once."
Mr. Qi may hate everyone on Huwei Mountain, but the person who bears the brunt of the blame should be Hu Wei, the culprit.
There was such a big commotion on the mountain. When Hu Wei, who was outside, got the news, he would definitely try to rush back.
Perhaps he is the one that Mr. Qi is waiting for.
Mr. Qi emphasized that it was already dusk, and there was still time to escape before that.
Xu Yu refused to let Sang Zhixia walk on her own and insisted on carrying her on his back as he walked at a rapid pace. He said in a deep voice, "Even if you go back, you won't be able to stop that madman."
"That old man's ways are very strange. There's no need to die in vain. No..."
“This way!”
Meng Pei, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and waved vigorously at Xu Yu: "Come this way!"
When everyone was running out of the water dungeon to escape, Meng Pei said that he knew an unknown shortcut.
But when they really saw this mysterious shortcut, everyone fell silent.
Xu Yu put Sang Zhixia down, flipped his palm and pushed down a rock. Under the gazes of several people, the rock weighing hundreds of pounds disappeared in the layers of clouds in an instant, without any echo.
The cliff is terrifyingly deep.
Sang Zhixia wrapped the hem of her torn clothes around Xu Yu's arm, peered over, and looked at him with a complicated expression: "Is this the shortcut you mentioned?"
Meng Pei ran out of breath and fell to the ground, nodding with a wheezing sound: "Yes."
"Go down the cliff from here and you'll reach the official road. If you don't take the secret path, this is the shortest way down the mountain."
Huwei Mountain has a strict layout. All the roads leading into the mountain have been destroyed by humans. The cliffs are square and there are cliffs on all sides except for the secret passages that lead to all directions.
If the entrance and exit of the secret passage are unknown, people outside cannot come up and people inside cannot go out.
No one knows when Mr. Qi is going to blow up Huwei Mountain. The bandits outside are probably rushing back and rushing into the secret passage like a tide.
Once the secret passage collapses, or if you encounter a large number of bandits in the secret passage, there will be no way out.
This is indeed the fastest way to go down the cliff.
Xu Yu silently went to check the rusty chain that Meng Pei had dug out from the weeds and mud.
Daji, who had run here with them, had a horrible look on his face. He crouched down and glanced down, expressing the thoughts of everyone present: "Brother Meng, this is not only the shortest way down the mountain, it's also the shortcut to see the King of Hell!"
"I...I don't..."
"If you don't dare, you can only wait to die here!"
Meng Pei thought of Old Qi, who was killing everyone in the village at the moment, and a dark look lingered in his eyes: "Old Qi will not let go of any living creature in the mountains, even if you have never done anything."
"But I..."
"How long is the chain?"
Xu Yu interrupted Daji's wailing and said with a frown, "Have you walked this way? Are you sure the chain can reach the bottom of the cliff?"
Meng Pei gave Xu Yu an ambiguous look and said with a dull expression, "When I rebelled against Huwei Mountain, I took this very road."
"The chain won't reach the bottom of the cliff, but if you let go of the tail and fall, you won't die."
"If you're worried, I'll go ahead."
Xu Yu raised his eyelids slightly without responding, and met Sang Zhixia's gaze from a distance. Although it was a scene full of dangers, a smile played on his lips.
"Zhizhi, are you coming down?"
Sang Zhixia raised an eyebrow and responded, "Next."
"But you don't have to carry me."
Sang Zhixia clapped her hands, signaling Cheng Qi to pick up Hui Sanniang, who was lying limp on the ground. She turned to Meng Pei and said, "You take Daji and walk in front, and Cheng Qi takes Hui Sanniang in the back."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Xu Yu: "You walk ahead of me. I will call you if you can't hold on any longer."
"Hold steady, don't let me fall."
Seeing the smile in Sang Zhixia's eyes, Xu Yu smiled softly: "Okay."
"I'll make sure you don't fall."
