Don't run, there are monsters everywhere.

"Where are the people? Why is there no one?!"

The sturdy man who kicked the door looked around, cursing, and kicked the table next to him to the ground as if to vent his anger.

"Did they escape?" someone behind him said.

"Impossible." Another person said, "The house is surrounded by fences. Even if they can fly, they can't escape the eyes of so many people!"

"Search for me!" The sturdy man roared, and then the guards began to search the wooden house.

However, the wooden house is only this big, and even if they don't search, they can see what's inside at a glance.

Zhu Lai, who was standing near the gate, didn't move. Although he was facing the house, his eyes were scanning the wooden house.

"Zhu Lai! Where did these people you brought back go?!" The sturdy man turned around and looked at Zhu Lai, asking loudly.

"Zhu Dazhuang, do you know who you are talking to?" Zhu Lai frowned, "You'd better understand that I am the captain of the guard team. You'd better be more polite when you talk to me!"

"You are a piece of shit! If not--" The strong man rolled up his sleeves, took the axe from another person, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by others.

"Forget it, forget it. These few days are a critical period. If we delay the important things and let "that thing" wake up, it will be bad." The people around the strong man whispered.

"This guy is a favorite of Empress Yi. Don't make Empress Yi unhappy."

The strong man frowned, glared at Zhu Lai fiercely, and then turned to the others and said: "Everyone, search for me, even if you turn the village upside down, you must find those people!"

After that, the strong man glared at Zhu Lai again and walked out.

When passing by Zhu Lai, he bumped him with his shoulder.

The other members of the guard team followed the strong man and walked out of the wooden house one after another.

The villagers outside the house stretched their necks to see what was going on inside the house, but gradually dispersed because of what the strong man said.

For a moment, Zhu Lai was the only one left in the wooden house.

Zhu Lai did not leave immediately, and his eyes were still scanning the wooden house.

After standing quietly for a while, Zhu Lai turned around and lifted up the wooden door that the strong man had kicked down, leaned against the door frame again, and then left.

In the quiet wooden house, after a while, the figures of Lin Yi and others gradually emerged.

"Are you leaving?" Zhang Cheng looked at Zhou Kai on the side and asked in a low voice.

Seeing Zhou Kai nodded, Zhang Cheng was relieved.

Before the guards rushed in, the little boy was finally persuaded by Zhang Cheng and decided to help them.

The little girl with him was the Chosen One. Her ability was not simply invisibility, but to achieve an effect similar to invisibility by absorbing the light refracted by objects.

But the premise is that you must have direct contact with her.

"What a convenient ability." Zhang Cheng thought about it, took out two fruits from his bag and handed them over as a reward for them.

"Fortunately, the only people who came in were the guards in the village." Zhou Kai said softly.

"If all the villagers outside rushed in at once, even if they couldn't see us, they would still be able to find our hiding place in the crowded situation."

They guessed that these people would definitely search the house, so they kept hiding near the gate and tried to avoid getting close to the furniture in the house.

In this way, even if the guards searched, they would not be able to contact them.

Even if they were discovered, they could escape immediately because they were close to the gate.

"Maybe..." Lin Yi frowned, recalling what happened just now, and said, "We have been discovered."

"What?" Zhou Kai was stunned for a moment.

"I think so too." Zhang Cheng nodded.

"The person who found them was Zhu Lai, so Zhu Lai couldn't be unaware of the ability of this little guy."

"But why didn't he say it?" Lin Yi was a little confused for a while.

Logically speaking, Zhu Lai was hostile to him. When he broke into the wooden house but saw no one, Zhu Lai should have told him about the little girl's ability.

However, Zhu Lai not only did not do so, but even lifted the door and put it on the door frame when he left, as if to cover the situation in the wooden house, so that the villagers passing by could not see what happened inside at the first time.

Is it because of brotherhood?

However, it has not even been two days since they met, so where is the brotherhood?

"Lin Yi, your brother's status in this village does not seem to be as high as we imagined." Zhang Cheng said.

When Zhu Lai brought Lin Yi and others to this underground world, the villagers passing by would come over to say hello enthusiastically. Whether it was their words and deeds or the expressions on their faces, they seemed to respect Zhu Lai very much.

But through what happened just now, the villagers' "respect" for Zhu Lai was all because of the woman in the underground palace.

"Empress Yi..." Zhang Cheng muttered, "The title of the imperial concubine who gave birth to a monster in the book is 'Yi'."

At this point, Lin Yi and his team have confirmed several things.

First, the woman in the underground palace must be an alien, and an alien who has lived for thousands of years.

They dare not underestimate this alien. You know, Hua has only lived for a few hundred years and is so powerful. This alien who has lived for thousands of years must be even more terrifying.

Second, Zhu Lai's status in the village is not as high as Lin Yi and his team imagined.

But this matter has nothing to do with Lin Yi and his team.

Third, Ah Shu, as they had guessed at the beginning, did not come here because of the disaster, but came here with a purpose from the beginning.

Ah Shu killed the village chief who was responsible for keeping the books recording the past. Those books must contain some truth about the world.

Ah Shu placed one of the insignificant books outside the wooden house where Lin Yi and his friends lived, so that when the villagers were looking for trouble with Lin Yi and his friends, he could use his ability to escape in the chaos.

In addition, there was another thing that made Lin Yi a little concerned-

The guards said that these few days were a critical period, and they could not delay the business, and they could not wake up "that thing".

What did they mean by "that thing"?

Alien?

But wasn't the woman in the underground palace always awake?

Or were there other aliens hiding in this place? Even more powerful than the woman in the underground palace?

Lin Yi couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Don't talk about this, the most urgent thing is to leave here immediately." Zhou Kai was a little worried.

"Zhu Lai has met all of us. If he had told others about this before, then the guards would have probably gone to find Xiaoyun and the others."

"Don't worry about that." Zhang Cheng said.

"With Uncle An here, I'm absolutely relieved."

"And there's the gorilla. Besides, Xiaoyun is not someone to be trifled with now. Even if those people really find them, they may not be able to beat them."

The guards who left the village lost their numerical advantage. Even if they really found An Chengdao and the others, they would not be able to catch them.

Moreover, before they separated, Zhang Cheng specifically told them not to believe anything a stranger said unless they went back in person.

If none of them went back, then they would just take action after accepting the stranger's invitation.

Zhou Kai actually knew all this, but as a brother, worrying about his sister was just an instinctive reaction.

"Instead of worrying about Uncle An and the others, you might as well think about how we can escape." Zhang Cheng touched his chin, "After all, given the current situation, it's not an easy thing to escape."
