"Mani-Mani, little brother, put the knife away quickly, be careful not to hurt Xiaochuan!"
The fat man who was sent out happened to come back, so Zhang Qiling had to put away his knife and retreat.
"Brother Fatty, you're back so soon." Ji Huaichuan's lips curved slightly. Although he was talking to Fatty, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Qiling who was behind Fatty.
"Of course not. The place outside is so small. We have seen everything there is to see. There is a cave opposite us. We don't know what's going on inside. You and brother...are you two having a conflict?" The fat man noticed that something was wrong with Ji Huaichuan when he just went up there, otherwise he would not have signaled Zhang Qiling to go over. Now he wanted to test the waters.
"No." Ji Huaichuan squinted his eyes and shook his head. "He thought I was someone else pretending to be me and tested me for a long time."
The fat man said "Ah" in a slow tone, as if he understood something. "I was wondering why I saw the guy with a knife when I came back. This whole fuss was just a misunderstanding."
As he said that, he patted Zhang Qiling and said, "Brother, you too, you can't use a knife with Chuan'er no matter what. But it's all because there are too many ghosts in this broken place. It's a good thing for us to be cautious. Oh, I think it's getting late now. Why don't we think of a way to get up there first, or what should we do?"
Zhang Qiling glanced sideways at Ji Huaichuan. Seeing that he didn't express any opinion, he thought it didn't conflict with his plan, so he said, "Go ahead."
As soon as the three of them arrived at the cave entrance, they saw Huo Xiuxiu, Lao Gao and others coming down the rope. There were too many jade figurines on the cliff, and many of their men had been lost.
After the two sides finally reunited, Lao Gao directed his men to explore the way ahead, while he smiled sheepishly at the fat man, "Hey... Fatty."
"You're laughing! You still have the nerve to laugh. What a crappy map you gave us. You almost killed us!" The fat man looked unhappy.
Lao Gao also felt aggrieved, "We followed the map all the way, it's not that big of a mistake."
"The map is correct, but the map is flat while the mountain is three-dimensional. Now the passage behind us is the correct one." Ji Huaichuan couldn't bear it any longer. By the time this group of people successfully entered the Zhang Family Ancient Building, the opportunity would be gone. Eight hundred lives would not be enough for them to suffer.
"Then this square inside this circle...what is this?" The fat man shone the flashlight on the map.
Zhang Qiling thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Spiral."
The person who had gone out to explore the path just happened to return and mentioned a spiral staircase ahead. Without further delay, the group immediately headed towards the cave behind them. Ji Huaichuan deliberately took two steps behind to approach Zhang Qiling, and in a voice only the two of them could hear, he asked, "Little Qilin, when do you plan to get these troublesome guys to leave? If you're too embarrassed to ask... I can help you."
"Don't do anything unnecessary, and stay away from me." Zhang Qiling didn't even look at him, and quickened his pace to move away from the man.
'Ji Huaichuan' looked indifferent and continued to follow Zhang Qiling slowly, and from time to time he would quietly move his fingers to get rid of one or two guys. When the group entered the underground palace, most of the guys at the back of the team had been cleared out. For a while, everyone was in a panic and became more vigilant against the black hand hiding in the dark.
"This place is too weird. Killing someone here is so scary. Chuan'er, you have to follow the good brother." I don't know whether the fat man mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.
