Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert
Chapter 381 Chase
Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, and she knew she had to respond decisively.
He bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jailer, I accidentally caused trouble. I will reflect on it."
The jailer's eyes moved across his face, as if trying to determine whether he was truly repentant.
After a moment, the jailer sneered, seeming satisfied with Jiang Qiong's attitude.
He stretched out his hand, pointed at Zhang Hu, and said coldly: "Be careful, this won't happen again."
After saying that, the jailer turned and left, leaving Jiang Qiong and Zhang Hu looking at each other in bewilderment.
Jiang Qiong heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he had escaped for the time being, but he understood that the dangers of this cell were far more than that.
As the sound of the jailer's footsteps faded away, the atmosphere in the cell gradually returned to calm. Zhang Hu didn't dare to provoke Jiang Qiong again and hid far away.
Jiang Qiong turned around and saw the loose stones in the corner, thinking secretly about the secret passage that Bai Yun mentioned.
Just then, heavy footsteps were heard outside the cell again.
Jiang Qiong looked up and saw dozens of prisoners being escorted in. Their faces were filled with fatigue and despair, and their bodies were covered with scars. Jiang Qiong was shocked and wondered where these people came from.
"How did you get caught?"
After the prisoners entered the cell, Jiang Qiong asked tentatively.
A thin prisoner raised his head, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "We are all sacrifices, captured and sacrificed to that big man."
"Sacrifices?" Jiang Qiong was shocked. Could this really be an altar? He quickly asked, "Who captured you?"
"Is there any need to ask? They were all captured by the Vulture Gang. They specialize in going out at night to capture innocent people."
Another prisoner interrupted, his face full of fear, and he couldn't help but say: "I heard that the people imprisoned in this cell are all their prey."
Jiang Qiong felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that the place he was in was far more dangerous than he had imagined.
He thought to himself that if he couldn't escape quickly, he would probably become one of the sacrifices.
"Do you know the situation here?" Jiang Qiong continued to ask.
"We heard that there is a secret passage here that only the jailer and a few others know about." The thin prisoner said, "But if we want to escape, we have to hide from the eyes of those men in black first."
Jiang Qiong's heart moved. It seemed that she was not the only one who wanted to escape.
He secretly made up his mind that he must find an opportunity as soon as possible and use the secret passage to escape from this place.
At this moment, another prisoner suddenly whispered: "I heard that there will be a sacrifice soon. Tonight is a good opportunity."
"Sacrifice?" Jiang Qiong's heart tightened. Is someone going to be sent to the altar tonight?
He remembered Bai Yun's words. If he could make some noise at this time, he might be able to escape successfully.
"We have to find a way to divert the attention of those jailers." Jiang Qiong said, with a determined light in his eyes.
"But what should we do?" asked the thin prisoner, obviously full of doubts.
Jiang Qiong looked around and his eyes fell on the corner of the cell, where there was a small window that seemed to lead to the outside.
He suddenly came up with a plan and said, "You can try to make some noise to attract their attention."
"Pay attention to cooperation."
The prisoners looked at each other, a glimmer of hope in their eyes, and nodded in support.
One of the prisoners took a deep breath and began to walk around the cell, deliberately creating some noise.
He slapped the wall hard, making a dull sound that echoed in the small space.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" the thin prisoner urged, with nervousness in his eyes.
At this moment, the jailer outside the cell heard the noise, immediately opened the door and walked in, with a hint of anger on his face: "What are you doing!"
Seeing this, the prisoner who had hit the wall secretly rejoiced in his heart, and immediately pretended to be scared, stammering: "I'm sorry, jailer, I hit the wall by accident."
The jailer's eyes moved over him.
The prisoner's heart beat faster, fearing that all his efforts would be in vain.
"You really don't know the rules anymore." The jailer smiled coldly, and seemed not to intend to investigate further, so he turned and left.
"Quick, now!"
The thin prisoner urged in a low voice. Jiang Qiong had an idea and while the jailer's attention was drawn, he immediately walked towards the loose stone in the corner.
He gently pushed the stone aside, revealing a dark passage. He was secretly happy in his heart, finally finding hope of escape.
There were some noises during the whole process.
But the jailer obviously didn't care, thinking that the prisoners were struggling and banging on the wall.
"Hurry, come in!" Jiang Qiong called out in a low voice, and the other prisoners squeezed over, their faces full of anticipation and nervousness.
"You dare to escape?"
"You really have the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard!"
Just then, the cell door opened again, and more than a dozen jailers walked in with fierce looks on their faces.
Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, knowing that time was running out and she had to act quickly.
"Hurry, hurry up!" Jiang Qiong shouted loudly, pushing the prisoners around him and quickly went into the secret passage.
While talking.
Jiang Qiong followed him into the secret passage.
It moved quickly through the dark passage, followed closely by the prisoners. Their low whispers and rapid breathing mixed together, making them look extremely nervous.
The jailer's footsteps were approaching from behind, like a hungry beast that might pounce on them at any time.
The passage was narrow and damp, and the surrounding stone walls were icy cold. Jiang Qiong prayed silently in her heart that this secret passage could lead them to freedom.
He kept moving forward, repeating to himself: "Can't stop, can't look back."
He looked back from time to time to confirm the tracking status of the jailer behind him, and he was secretly anxious.
"hurry up!"
The skinny prisoner nearby kept urging them, his voice filled with tension and fear.
At this moment, the passage suddenly turned a corner and a faint light was faintly seen in the front.
Jiang Qiong was delighted, thinking that maybe it was an outlet.
He quickened his pace and rushed forward.
However, at this moment, the jailer's roar came from behind: "Catch them! Don't let them run away!"
"Quick, quick!" Jiang Qiong shouted, feeling uneasy. They had to find a hiding place as soon as possible to avoid being caught.
At this moment, the passage forked again. Jiang Qiong chose the passage on the left without hesitation, feeling vaguely that there might be a way out here.
The passage became narrower and narrower, and the light ahead became dimmer and dimmer.
Jiang Qiong turned around and found that several of the prisoners behind him were already panting and obviously could not keep up.
His heart tightened, thinking to himself that this was so dangerous. If he was caught by the jailer, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Hurry up!" he shouted, but his voice was mixed with helplessness and anxiety. Several prisoners rushed forward desperately, but one of the strong men fell to the ground due to exhaustion.
Jiang Qiong's heart sank. With no time to think, he could only continue running forward, silently praying in his heart that the prisoner could escape.
At this moment, the footsteps behind were getting closer. The jailers had already reached the fork in the road and were obviously hesitating about which direction to chase.
Jiang Qiong was delighted, thinking that perhaps he could take this opportunity to shake off the pursuers.
He quickly led the remaining prisoners forward, through one turn after another, until a heavy wooden door appeared in front of them.
"Where is this place?" the thin prisoner couldn't help asking, with anxiety flashing in his eyes.
"I don't know, but we have to go in!" Jiang Qiong pushed the door open without hesitation, and the door made a heavy creaking sound.
Behind the door was a dark secret room, covered with ancient array patterns all around. Blurry portraits hung on the walls, seemingly depicting some kind of sacrificial scene.
Jiang Qiong was shocked and realized that this might be the place where the jailers performed sacrifices.
"Hurry, come in!" he whispered, then quickly closed the door, cutting off the pursuit outside.
In the secret room, the prisoners' breathing gradually subsided, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Qiong, their eyes full of expectation and confusion.
"We are safe for now, but we can't let our guard down." Jiang Qiong looked around, trying to find a place to hide.
His eyes fell on the formation in the center of the secret room, and he had an idea that perhaps this could help them avoid pursuit.
"This formation doesn't look simple." The thin prisoner whispered with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"We can try to activate it, maybe it can conceal our breath." Jiang Qiong said, secretly thinking about the use of the formation in his heart.
While talking.
The spiritual energy in his body circulated, directly shattering the chains in his hands. Without the constraints of the cell formation, his spiritual energy quickly recovered.
Wait until the condition returns to its peak.
Jiang Qiong walked towards the formation, carefully observing the complex formation patterns, and constantly recalled the formation knowledge he had heard before.
After a while, he closed his eyes and began to recite the incantation silently, trying to awaken the power of the formation.
Meanwhile, the jailers outside had discovered their escape and began searching around the secret room.
Jiang Qiong's heart was beating like thunder. As time passed, the footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, as if they would break into the room at any time.
"Hurry, hurry!" the thin prisoner urged anxiously, his eyes full of fear.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine soon!"
Jiang Qiong responded in a low voice and prayed silently in her heart.
At this moment, the formation suddenly flashed with a faint light, and the air around it seemed to become heavy.
"I succeeded!" Jiang Qiong shouted excitedly, feeling ecstatic.
He felt that the power of the formation was gradually increasing, and a hidden aura began to cover the entire secret room.
Under the concealment of the formation.
The figures of the group of people quickly became transparent.
"Quick, hide!"
He shouted commands, and the other prisoners quickly looked for places to hide, nervously holding their breath.
At this moment, the door of the secret room was kicked open and the jailers rushed in with fury and unwillingness on their faces.
"Where are they!" a jailer roared, looking around.
"The people are gone, but there are traces left!" Another jailer pointed to the ground, as if he had found traces left by Jiang Qiong and others.
Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, knowing that he had to stay calm. He was in the center of the formation, silently operating his power, trying to increase the concealment effect.
Just as he was concentrating, the jailers outside began to search the secret room, as if they wanted to search every corner.
"They must be here!" The voice of a jailer sounded in Jiang Qiong's ears. Jiang Qiong's heart beat faster and she could almost hear her own heartbeat.
At this moment, the light of the formation suddenly flickered, and Jiang Qiong felt a powerful force surging. The atmosphere in the secret room instantly became blurred, as if it was isolated from the outside world.
"Hurry, hurry up!" Jiang Qiong shouted in a low voice, her heart full of hope.
Although their figures were hidden, he knew that time waits for no one and they must find a real way out as soon as possible.
"Can we escape?" The thin prisoner's face was full of worry, with anxiety flashing in his eyes.
"It should be possible." Jiang Qiong said firmly, with a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Taking advantage of the concealment of the formation.
Jiang Qiong and others slipped out quietly and walked along the secret passage.
The narrow space forced them to bend over as they moved forward, and the humid air was filled with a musty smell that was suffocating.
The walls were covered with moss, and occasionally a few drops of water dripped from the cracks at the top, hitting the ground, making a low sound.
After walking for a while, the passage in front of Jiang Qiong suddenly became wider and the view in front of him suddenly became clear.
They walked into a new secret room and were stunned by the scene around them.
The walls of this secret room are carved with intricate patterns that seem to tell an ancient legend.
The pattern features mysterious creatures that seem to be performing some kind of ritual, surrounded by flames and light, giving people a sacred and solemn feeling.
"Where is this place?" the thin prisoner asked in a low voice, with fear and curiosity flashing in his eyes.
"I don't know either, but the atmosphere here is completely different from the secret room just now."
Jiang Qiong stared at the carvings on the wall, feeling vaguely that this secret room seemed to be hiding some secret.
He walked forward and looked at the patterns carefully, trying to find clues from them.
There is a tall stone platform in the center of the secret room, on which is placed an ancient altar. The altar is covered with a thick layer of dust, and it is obvious that no one has used it for a long time.
Jiang Qiong approached the altar and found some ancient instruments on it, which seemed to be used for some kind of sacrificial ceremony.
There were a few candles next to the altar. Although they had been extinguished, a faint scent of spices could still be smelled.
"This place is really weird." A prisoner whispered, with uneasiness in his eyes.
Jiang Qiong nodded, but thought secretly in his heart.
This might be an important location that might help them find a way to escape.
So he decided to explore the secret room carefully.
"Everyone be careful and don't make any noise."
Jiang Qiong warned in a low voice, and then began to walk around the secret room.
He looked carefully at every corner, trying to find something that could be used.
At this moment, his eyes fell on the back of the altar, where there was a secret compartment.
Jiang Qiong's heart moved, and she walked over quickly and gently pushed open the door of the secret compartment. There was actually a thick ancient book hidden inside. The cover was covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had read it for a long time. (End of this chapter)
