Chapter 444 God is really willing to help me!
Yan Shili opened the mechanism of the secret passage, jumped in with the two personal guards, and then asked them to activate the mechanism to close the entrance of the secret passage.
They didn't care about the lives of the Naihetang minions who squeezed to the entrance of the secret passage and wanted to escape with them.
"Master! And us! Take us with you! We don't want to die!"
"Master! Don't abandon us!"
…
However, all they were left with was Yan Shili's ruthless ridicule: "You losers are worthless. You don't deserve to go with me."
The minions looked at the tightly shut entrance to the secret passage, their hearts pounding with despair. The next second, they dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "We surrender."
"We surrender, please spare our lives!"
…
Yan Shili, the leader of this hall, abandoned them and ran away. What was they supposed to do to resist?
Of course, he who knows the times is a hero and kneels down to acknowledge the new master of the Sixth Class District.
Yun Fu was not very interested in the lives of these minions. She walked around them, came to the entrance of the secret passage, and looked at the stone slab that sealed the entrance.
Xuanji Zhang ran closer, holding a blood-drenched sword, and squatted down to examine the entrance to the secret passage. "This mechanism is quite complicated. There must be another mechanism inside. Once activated, it will seal the entrance. Let me think about it carefully and see if I can unlock this mechanism."
"No need to go through so much trouble." Yun Fu didn't have the patience to wait for him. She bent her knees and sat down. Her slender white fingers touched the edge of the stone slab. She found two suitable points of force on the not-so-smooth edge. With a little strength, she lifted up the large stone slab that was heavier than a strong adult man.
She stood up and clapped her hands in disgust: "Who does he think he can stop with this broken mechanism?"
Xuanji Zhang: "..."
The Naihetang captives kneeling beside them: "..."
Any normal person should be able to stop this mechanism!
"Xiao Fu'er, I'm going to chase them. You stay here and rest for a while. You're not wearing enough and it's too cold outside."
As he spoke, Qi Hanzhou's tall figure disappeared from the entrance of the secret passage.
It seems like he is afraid that if he is a step slower, others will take over his job.
Yun Fu raised her hand and yawned, then replied lazily, "Okay."
——
Here, Yan Shili and the two personal guards beside him hurried, not daring to stop for a moment, and went straight to the back mountain.
"The secret passage is blocked, so they will definitely chase us directly to the front mountain and intercept us on the mountain road, but we have to run to the back mountain."
Yan Shili's plan was to find a secluded cave in the back mountain and hide there, as the heavy snow would cover their footprints.
In such bad weather, Yun Fu and the others would definitely search for a while and give up if they couldn't find anyone.
After the vigilance over there was relaxed, they quietly sneaked out from the back mountain and left the sixth-class area.
However, plans are still plans.
They had just come out of the exit at the other end of the secret passage and walked a short distance when they heard some movement behind them.
"Oh no, someone seems to be chasing us!"
"How is this possible? Isn't the entrance sealed?" Yan Shili panicked and staggered.
Everything tonight seemed like a dream.
However, for him, it was not a sweet dream, but a nightmare!
"Maybe they found a way to open the mechanism of the entrance." The two personal guards would be lying if they said they were not panicking. They could only urge Yan Shili to leave quickly.
Yan Shili's pure white fox fur coat was stained with snow and mud, and he looked in a miserable state. He no longer had the arrogant look he had just half a day ago.
The master and his two servants fled for their lives. When they passed by the cliff on the back mountain, they saw the iron chain hanging in the air in the moonlight.
I was overjoyed.
Immediately, the plan was changed.
"God is truly merciful!" Yan Shili touched the iron chain and suddenly understood. "They must have climbed up along this iron chain! But these fools forgot to retract the iron chain after they climbed up!"
The two personal guards tugged at the iron chain, making sure it was strong enough to bear a person's weight. "Sir, this iron chain is too slippery. Let me try it for you first."
If it were any other day, Yan Shili would definitely praise him for his loyalty, but in this situation, with the pursuers behind him about to catch up, his selfish suspicion kicked in, and he didn't think that these two guards were doing this for his own good.
"You don't have to try for me, I can do it myself!" A shrewd look flashed in Yan Shili's eyes. So many people brought by Princess Yunfu were able to climb over this iron chain, which meant that it was not difficult to get through here at all.
He would never give the chance to escape to others.
The two guards really felt that it was not safe to climb over the iron chain and wanted to persuade him again.
"Sir, the weather is too cold. If snow falls on the iron chain, it will definitely make it slippery..."
"Sir, your cloak will affect your movements, so you'd better take it off."
Unexpectedly, Yan Shili didn't listen to them at all. He hooked his feet up and grabbed the iron chain with both hands. He was hanging upside down and moving forward little by little.
He was also sarcastic and said something with hidden meaning: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, wait until I go over, then you can go over. This time, I will test the water for you first."
The two of them did not continue to stop him, but could only tell him to be careful, not to be too anxious, and to take each step steadily.
This iron chain is much more difficult to climb than Yan Shili imagined.
The weather was so cold that my hands got stuck to the iron chain when I grabbed it. When I took my hands off, a layer of skin was peeled off by the iron chain.
Yan Shili trembled with pain all over, but he knew that this was his only way out.
In order to save his life, he could only grit his teeth and persevere, secretly swearing in his heart that the sin that Yan Shili suffered today, he would repay him a hundredfold in the future!
The two guards standing on the edge of the cliff saw how difficult his movements were and guessed that this road was not easy to walk on.
After the two men discussed it, they simply left him behind and went into the woods to find another way out.
Following their footprints on the snow, Qi Hanzhou chased them to the edge of the cliff with a sword in hand. Yan Shili spent half a day climbing to about one-third of the entire iron rope.
The pain and cold made Yan Shili's hands numb and he was almost losing consciousness.
The fox fur cloak he was wearing was soaked by the snow, which increased his weight and kept pulling his body down.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw a figure chasing him from the edge of the cliff, and his already panicked heart became even more unstable.
No, he couldn't let them catch up to him.
Yan Shili made a decision immediately. He hooked the iron chain with one hand and used the other to untie the cloak hanging on his body.
He firmly believed that if he could get rid of the cloak, he would be able to climb faster.
But he overestimated his current physical strength. With only one hand, he could not hold on to the slippery iron chain.
