Xia Xi frowned and said, "You wouldn't say that the people who set off smoke to attract corpse moths to kill us were city defenders, right?"

I said: "First of all, he can't be Xiang Liu's person, right Miss Nozawa?"

Nozawa Nako said: "Susan, we didn't send too many people this time."

I snorted coldly: "You are quite honest. So, is it possible that he is another tomb robber?"

Xia Xi said: "The possibility is slim because the other party has no such motive."

I nodded: "So it's most likely the city defender! The situation has become very bad! The other party knows the Bagua Alchemy City very well. He can't enter the underground city through the passage from the bottom of our river to mess with us. He can only attack us from this place in front of us. He came in through a convenient secret passage to attack us, and after he was done, he left through this convenient secret passage."

"But now that we have suddenly broken into this place, it is very likely that we will encounter each other. If we encounter each other, according to the methods of the city defenders, in this secret passage with no escape, we will die without any body parts!"

After everyone listened to my analysis, they all stopped.

Sister Hong asked: "What should we do? Can we go back?"

Xia Xi wiped her nose: "There are corpse moths outside. If you go back, you will die! Now we have only two possibilities. One is to pray that the city defender has left here after getting rid of the smoke and moths. The other is to He is still in the underground city, so we must get out through the secret passage as quickly as possible."

I replied: "That's right! Everyone must hurry up!"

Bian Wu said to Yang Xinxin: "Little Master, please hurry up and lead the way, otherwise my sister will not be saved!"

When Yang Xinxin heard that Ximei was not saved, her lips trembled and she quickened her pace in front.

moment.

Her figure disappeared before our eyes.

Xia Xi cursed: "Damn it! You don't need to be so fast, we can't keep up!"

Bian Wu hurriedly ran in front of us, chasing her and shouting: "Little Master, please slow down a little..."

It took a lot of effort for us to catch up with Yang Xinxin and Bian Wu.

We walked in the secret passage for five or six minutes.

I suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Yang Xinxin and Bian Wu, who were leading the way, both stopped.

I quickly leaned down and looked at the ground with a searchlight.

The ground on the previous section of the road was very dry and was made of small natural pebbles. Walking on it would not show any footprints at all, but now this section of the road is indeed light gray soil, and people walking on it can leave footprints.

Yang Xinxin and Bian Wu were walking in front of us. There were shallow prints of their front paws on the light gray soil. This was their unique yin-yang running technique, and there were also traces of mud marks, because when we escaped just now, we had Walking through the water meadow, my shoes were stained with mud.

If the person who harmed us this time is the city defender.

If he comes in through this secret passage and leaves through this secret passage, he will definitely leave traces here.

I have to confirm the situation.

Xia Xi understood what I meant instantly and took a searchlight to check.

It was less than 1 minutes.

Xia Xi said: "Come over here and have a look!"

After walking over.Sure enough, a discovery was made.

A line of footprints heading into the Bagua Alchemy City from the outside appeared in front of us, and there was also a line of leaving footprints.

Xia Xi whispered: "The footprints leaving the city from inside the city still have a bit of wet mud, which proves that he left the secret passage not long before us! This is great news for us!"

"Everyone, please keep your voice down and slow down a little. When we get to the exit, Su Zi and I will take the lead and rush out first! If nothing happens, we can have a big drink tonight!"

The subordinate next to Nako Nozawa, who had his own ear cut off and whose face was bleeding, came over with gritted teeth and said to us: "Count me in when I rush... We are in trouble this time, you can kidnap Miss Nozawa. But please don’t hurt her!”

It's a bit beyond my expectation that Xiang Liu has such a loyal and brave person.

Xia Xi patted his shoulder: "Since you are so loyal and brave, you might as well rush in first. Don't worry, I want Miss Nozawa to shout slogans, so I won't hurt her so easily."

When the subordinate heard this, he gritted his teeth and looked like he was going to explode with anger.

Xia Xi saw this and kicked him hard: "Why do you look so ugly? You were asked to rush first and you didn't hear me?!"

The subordinate was kicked so hard that he almost fell to the ground. After he forcibly stabilized his body, he stared at Xia Xi with great hatred, turned around and walked forward.

I turned around and asked Yang Xinxin: "How far is it from the exit?"

Yang Xinxin replied: "Very close... right in front."

I walked forward cautiously for a few more minutes.

The subordinate suddenly stopped.

Xia Xi asked: "Brain convulsion or leg cramps? Why are you stopping?!"

The subordinate said: "There is light... ahead..."

I followed the subordinate's eyes and shined a searchlight ahead. My whole body felt numb.

There is indeed light.

The first is the light from the exit. The exit seems to be a wooden board covered with soil, but maybe the covering soil was not too tight when the city defender left. There are gaps in the wooden board, and the light from the outside leaks through the gaps.

Second, there was a small red dot of light flashing, like a timer, but under the spotlight of a few of us, it was obvious that there was a medicine bag stuck to the wall of the secret passage.

The hairs all over my body stood up!
After the other party left the secret passage, he made complete plans.

In addition to using smoke and flying corpse moths, he actually arranged a medicine bag at the entrance of the secret passage in advance, which not only prevented us from leaving through the water channel from the original route, but also prevented us from escaping from the secret passage. This was to completely kill us in Bagua Alchemy. The rhythm of the city!

I immediately turned around: "Bian Wu! What type of medicine bag is this?"

For this kind of thing, tomb robbers are more professional.

Bian Wu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and swallowed: "The homemade medicine bag is very powerful. It seems to be timed. It shouldn't be time to explode yet..."

Since it is timed.

As long as we don't touch it before it triggers and carefully dismantle the board, we'll have a chance to get through!
I suppressed the strong sense of crisis in my heart and said to the subordinate: "Get out of the way! I'll go over and take apart the wooden boards first..."

I could have asked him to dismantle it, but I don't trust his skills. I could have asked Bian Wu or Sister Hong to dismantle it. Their skills are really good, but if something suddenly goes wrong during the dismantling process and something happens to them, I won't do it. Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will have to feel guilty for the rest of your life.

The subordinate was crying: "I can't let go, I've stepped on the line..." (End of Chapter)
