I sighed, thinking that this couldn't all be blamed on Bailu. I was also responsible. I did think about rescuing Yingchun at a lower cost, and I might have shown it quite obviously, which made Bailu alert. In addition, I might not have handled it properly last night. Yunwen was also responsible for this matter. I reminded her again and again, but she turned a blind eye, which led to this mistake.

There are many links in this, and if any one of them is missing, nothing can be done. Therefore, it is not right to put all the responsibilities on Song Bailu. Moreover, it is useless to lose temper now, and it will only make things worse. Things have come to this point, and we can only accept it and think of a solution calmly. There is strength in numbers. If Song Bailu is scared and becomes ill, then I will be fighting alone, which is obviously unwise.

I punched the wall a few times to vent my pent-up anger, and kicked it a few times, which gave me a little psychological relief. Then I slowly calmed myself down. After a few breaths, my emotions gradually eased. Although I had some resentment towards Bai Lu, I still held back and reached out to her. She was timid to begin with, and when she saw how I was just now, she didn't dare to come to support me.

"Let's go. It's very dangerous underground. You may encounter them looking for you at any time. After all, you used your eyes to deal with them. Although it was for self-protection, it was an injury after all. There is no guarantee that they will not come back to fight back or retaliate. So it is not wise to stay here. Besides, you just said that you would find a way to rescue them both together. You are not going to regret it now, are you?" I asked.

She thought my analysis was correct, hesitated for a moment, and then placed her hand on mine. I helped her up, and she said, "Brother Zhou Bo, how dare I go back on my word? I'm just afraid you'll blame me. Since you're willing to forgive me, I'd certainly appreciate it."

Although she said so, she still approached me cautiously, and her eyes kept scanning the cave from time to time. It was obvious that she believed what I said about the hyena people.

This is not a place for conversation. I took her out first. The two of us returned to the castle for the time being and sat at the long dining table in silence for a long time, trying to adjust our states. After a while, Bai Lu asked angrily, "Brother Zhou Bo, what do you think we should do now? Now I know deeply that you are our core. I shouldn't make decisions on my own, which makes my situation worse. I should listen to you and not have other thoughts."

"It has already happened, and we can only find a way to solve it. Let's stop talking nonsense. Tell me, when you escaped and came back, did you see which direction Yunwen was taken?" I asked.

"I don't remember. I ran in a hurry and had no time to pay attention. I don't think I went up the hill. Also, when I ran out, I remember seeing a faceless monster riding a tall horse, wearing a mask, a brown robe, and a hood. When I was running away, it chased me on horseback. I hid in the narrow dog hole and waited until it ran away before I dared to come out. So I was basically being chased and didn't have any extra time to look at those things." Bai Lu said.

"Riding a black horse? Another ghost?" I asked.

"It shouldn't be. I was hiding in the dog hole at that time and saw its palm exposed outside. It seemed to be green, and it had a tail. The other parts were very similar to humans, and the shape was not illusory." Bai Lu said.

I remember that compared with normal humans, the physique of hyena people is basically of medium to low. The two guards before me were only below my shoulders, a difference of 30 to 40 centimeters, which is about 1.4 to 1.5 meters. As a result, the design of their armor basically ignores the design of the lower limbs, and there are only some covering cloths. It is difficult for them to control horses with their physique. Moreover, it is difficult for them to wear masks on their faces, after all, the dog's mouth protrudes forward.

If it was any other tribe other than the mermaids, hyenas, or rats, why would they help chase Bai Lu? Its identity is closely related to the hyenas, otherwise it would not have acted so decisively. From its description, it has the characteristics of a beast, but it looks like a human, and it can ride a tall horse, but it is not a ghost. Therefore, its identity is weird, and its physical characteristics are also extremely weird.

"It's good that it's not a ghost. It will be easier to deal with if it has a physical body. Let me make some arrangements next. You are weak now, and you still have half an afternoon to recuperate and make some medicine for yourself. If we really have to fight at night, you can be prepared. Tonight we have to use all our resources to rob the camp and rescue the people, using your eyes and my sword." I said.

"I'm in this physical condition. Will it be a problem for you if I go?" Bai Lu asked.

She was the one who started this trouble, and she was thinking of giving up?

"It's okay if you don't go. I will only save Yunwen and I won't take care of Yingchun." I deliberately provoked her.

"That won't do. Sister Yunwen is an important person to you, and Yingchun is the same to me. So I'll go with you, for Yingchun." Bai Lu said.

After that, Bai Lu went to cook some medicine for herself to replenish qi and nourish blood, while I went to prepare some things and made two relatively good small handicrafts, thinking that if I could rely on some clever means, I would use clever means to get through, and if not, then I could only fight hard. Now it is different from before. Yunwen is also locked up, and I can't let anyone hurt Yunwen even a little bit, so no matter whether it is soft or hard, I have to rescue her.

I won't be afraid if we really have to resort to knives or guns.

Bai Lu knows some special witchcraft and can control some illusions. It should be no problem to use it to deal with the minions, as long as we don't attract too many of them. We can deal with them one at a time. My Golden Sword can only be used once, but it should be more than enough to deal with the masked black horse knight. So, our chances of winning may not be small.

After Bai Lu drank the medicine and rested for a while, and I was ready, we set out to rescue the most important person in our hearts. Now, we can only work together to create a miracle. With my experience as a special forces soldier, Bai Lu's ability to provide relevant information, and the special abilities that we both have, we can carry out such an extremely difficult rescue mission.

This mission was of great importance and high risk, so we did not tie up Sanfu before we went down, but let it stay free. After all, if something unexpected really happened to us, it would subconsciously believe that it was tied up, and it would be trapped here forever, not knowing whether it could escape. In that case, no one would untie the rope for it, and it would most likely starve to death.

So let's just treat this as the last time we meet. If we get in the way, it will be free again, so there's no need to tie it up anymore.

"Brother Zhou Bo, shouldn't we take a long-term view?" Bai Lu asked.

I shook my head and said, "It's not that I'm biased. Yunwen is different from Yingchun. Yingchun has a craft, so at least she won't be maimed or killed. After all, she has profit value. But Yunwen was captured because she was thought to be another craftsman like Yingchun. In this case, if she doesn't make anything, she will anger the hyenas. Once she is found to be fake, she will not be released and will only be killed. So we don't have much time. I let you rest just now to increase the probability of our success. Otherwise, I want to set off immediately."

"That's right. It would be more dangerous for Yunwen without the little wooden man to protect her." Bai Lu said.

"That's right, so now we can only seize the time and rescue them in the way with the highest probability of success. Now that you are in a better condition and I am ready, whether we can succeed depends on our actions tonight. Now is different from the past. We can't make long-term plans. We can only move forward bravely and complete the rescue." I said.

After hearing what I said, Bai Lu probably gave up the idea of ​​checking out. For the most important person in each other's hearts, we walked down the tunnel, along the underground river, holding kerosene lamps, and shuttled through the endless dark road again.
