Night Watchman - C245
When I clearly saw Qin Lingxiao cast us a puzzled look, I immediately felt despair in my heart.
Qin Lingxiao is known as the descendant of the Imperial Wind Clan. Even he is unable to control such a strong gust of wind. If we want to leave here, we are talking nonsense!
Although we didn’t feel good about it, we still chased after Qin Lingxiao when we saw him being blown away by the strong wind.
After running for who knows how long, Qin Lingxiao finally landed on the ground after the cockroach’s base had completely disappeared from our sight and the countless light spots had returned.
“Truly marvelous!” If I didn’t see you standing in that pitch-black place, I would have thought I was in a sea of stars! ”
Although Qin Lingxiao’s appearance made us feel slightly gratified, we couldn’t help but feel a tinge of melancholy when we thought about how we had no way to leave this damn place and would be imprisoned here forever.
“Brother Zhou, why are you so worried?”
When Qin Lingxiao saw my furrowed brows, he directly looked at me in confusion and asked. At the same time, we patiently explained to him the situation.
“The only exit we can find after searching inside is the place you just entered! But the airflow there is too strong, we can’t get out! “Do you think this will make you feel good?”
After listening to our explanation, Qin Lingxiao frowned and thought for a while before giving us an encouraging piece of news.
“Since there’s such a strong gust of air flowing in from the entrance, if there’s no exit, then this place would have already been swelled up and broken, right?”
“That’s right!”
“Exactly! Why didn’t I think of it? ”
For a time, everyone was in high spirits as they began to discuss how to find the exit.
The Wind Wielding Clan is worthy of being called the Wind Wielding Clan. In regards to the air flow, they already have a plan before you can even begin to think about it!
“Follow me!” I already know the general direction of the exit! ”
As soon as we started talking, Qin Lingxiao made a hand gesture for us to follow him and walked into the darkness. This made us at a loss for words.
“Don’t worry, I can feel the change in the airflow. There seems to be a vent in that direction. As long as we can find that vent, we should be able to get out! ”
After hearing those words, the doubt in my heart immediately disappeared. Without saying anything further, I followed behind him and walked out.
However, as we got closer to the so-called vents, he suddenly said that he had heard something strange and that he had smelled cabbage!
“It can’t be! Even someone as smart as Bai Cai would be trapped here for so long? Did you get it wrong? ”
“Impossible!” Besides Brother Zhou’s smell, I’m most familiar with his smell! I didn’t even remember the smell of my parents that well! ”
As soon as his words left his mouth, I noticed that there was something different about the stars in front of us.
The starlight was exceptionally dazzling, and there seemed to be a halo of light revolving on it.
As I got closer and closer to the exit, I could finally see clearly that the most dazzling star was actually the exit of this region. The so-called halo that I saw earlier seemed to be just a cloud passing by in the sky outside the exit!
However, just when I thought that the exit was right in front of us and was about to exit, a figure suddenly appears in front of us. It’s actually Zhang Zikong!
“That’s right. To be able to survive for so many days in this kind of place, it must not be an easy matter!” However, even if we find the exit, it will not be easy to get out of here! ”
When he said those words, he seemed to emphasize the word “easy” with a slight accent. After saying that sentence, he pointed to the ground and made an “O” shape with his mouth! Then he dived straight into the darkness, as if he didn’t want us to know where he was!
Since he doesn’t want us to know where he is, there must be a reason for it. And what he said and did seemed to remind us of something.
It’s just that the way he thinks, we don’t know what he’s trying to say for a moment.
Although he did not know why he was still staying here, since he had found the exit, he would first have to check it out!
However, when we arrived near the exit, we immediately retreated quietly! Moreover, he also understood the reason why Zhang Zi Kong was staying here.
When we were about two hundred meters from the exit, the cow in my hand started to heat up.
Seeing this, I hastily made everyone stop. After Hua Hua listened attentively, I gave us an answer that would cause despair!
“Judging from the sound of the wind, the exit is a long and narrow tunnel, at least a hundred meters or more! And in this tunnel, there’s probably over ten thousand of those kind of locusts crawling around! ”
Heh! To pass through the one hundred meter deep tunnel in this situation, it was no wonder that Zhang Zi Kong had stayed in this place all this time. And I believe that Dong Hai and his men are also with him!
Thinking about it here, I recalled the series of secret actions that Zhang Zi Kong did.
Although I didn’t know what that mouth of his meant, I didn’t hesitate to turn on the flashlight and carefully observed the small stones that were emitting light on the ground.
Did he mean that we should smash the eggs to lure the bugs in and make the defenses in the tunnel thinner?
But if that’s the case, we’ve done this kind of thing quite a few times in the past! Hadn’t their men also used grenades before? But they haven’t left yet, have they?
Since he wasn’t referring to these bug eggs, then what did Zhang Zi Kong mean by pointing at the ground? Could it be the stone that contained the eggs?
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but draw on the ground with my military knife.
However, just as I drew for a moment, a faint numbness spread to my arm, as if a slight electric current had been generated on the dagger!
Was there even lightning on the ground?
That’s not right!
But when I saw the sparks left on the ground by my sudden overexertion, my mind instantly understood Zhang Zikong’s intentions!
That’s right, he probably already had a way to get out of here! It was probably because he wanted to weaken Dong Hai’s power that he purposely stayed in this place for such a long time! Otherwise, with how he had discovered that the material on the ground contained large amounts of potassium permanganate, it would have been impossible for him to think of such a simple method of exiting!
