Don't run, there are monsters everywhere.

When they first arrived in this underground world, Lin Yi and others were surprised by the scenery in front of them. It was only now, when they cautiously headed to the entrance of the passage, that they discovered that the ground in this underground world was extremely soft.

This softness is not caused by the looseness of the surface layer of soil, but rather by the fact that the ground itself in this underground world is extremely soft.

Perhaps it's because this place doesn't see sunlight all year round and is too humid.

With the help of the little girl's ability, Lin Yi and others finally reached the entrance of the passage where they entered.

But when he looked up, the passage that was originally on the wall had disappeared.

"Zhang Cheng, are you sure you didn't remember the wrong way?" Zhou Kai looked around and then asked in a low voice.

"How should I put it? You can question my character and my quality, but you can't question my memory." Zhang Cheng said seriously.

"It's just one road. Even if the King of Heaven comes today, I remember correctly. The entrance to the cave we entered is right here."

"But there's nothing here?" Zhou Kai didn't suspect that Zhang Cheng had remembered the wrong way, he just felt strange.

"Could it be that the villagers filled in the hole?" Lin Yi guessed.

"Probably not." Zhang Cheng shook his head.

"The fact that the hole was filled up in such a short period of time means they must have dug the soil nearby."

"However, there are no traces of excavation at all around here."

"Then the entrance of the cave cannot disappear by itself, right?" Zhou Kai frowned.

Just when he was about to continue talking, he heard the sound of footsteps.

"Shh, someone is coming." Zhou Kai reminded immediately.

Lin Yi and others stood there. Although the little girl's ability allowed them to hide their figures, if they acted, they would inevitably make some noise and be noticed.

Therefore, when someone passes by, they will still stand still and wait quietly for them to leave.

"Fuck!" A curse came from not far away. Lin Yi and the others had heard this voice. It was the strong man who kicked the door before.

Lin Yi remembered that this strong man was called "Zhu Dazhuang".

Zhu Dazhuang walked in front, followed by several people who were also members of the escort team.

"That bitch Zhu Lai, who does he think he is? If it weren't for the sake of Lady Yi, I would have killed him long ago!"

Zhu Dazhuang cursed as he walked, his words full of malice.

"He is a foreigner, what qualifications does he have to be the captain of our escort?!"

"I don't know what the village chief's generation of guards thought. When they caught the sacrifice, they just kept this piece of shit Zhu Lai behind."

Sacrifice?

When he heard this, Lin Yi finally understood why he didn't see anyone from the outside world besides them here.

It's not that no one comes, but those who enter this underground world become what they call "sacrifice."

But who was the object of their sacrifice?

That woman in the underground palace? Or... "that thing" that Lin Yi and the others don't know about yet?

"Brother Zhuang, the exit has been closed." The person following Zhu Dazhuang said.

"I can see it, I don't need you to remind me!" Zhu Dazhuang scolded.

"Even if the exit is closed, we cannot take it lightly."

Zhu Dazhuang thought for a while and reminded: "By the way, the people in the village should pay more attention. Only the people in the village know how to open the exit. If it is not secured, they will hijack the villagers."

"Others continue to search for me, don't let go anywhere."

"By the way, what is Zhu Lai doing?" Zhu Dazhuang looked at the person next to him and asked.

"He has been staying in his room and seems to have no intention of coming out." The person next to him replied.

"It's okay not to come out. I heard that there is a guy who looks exactly like him among the strangers this time. It seems that he is his long-lost brother."

"Hmph, keep an eye on me. A stranger is a stranger. Maybe that bitch will help his brother escape."

Until Zhu Dazhuang left, he didn't stop cursing, which shows that he really hates Zhu Lai.

"This strong pig looks big and thick. I didn't expect it to be completely brainless." After confirming that Zhu Dazhuang and his party continued to search other places, Zhang Cheng spoke.

"At first I really wanted to kidnap a villager and force him to lead us."

"But now it seems that this method is no longer possible."

The guards began to pay attention to the people in the village. Once someone did not show up, they would immediately look for them.

If it cannot be found, it means that the villager was kidnapped by Lin Yi and others.

At that time, they will guard the entrance of the passage, and it will still be troublesome to leave.

"Now we have only one way to go." Zhou Kai frowned and said, "Kill them and rush out by force."

"No, maybe we still have a way out." Lin Yi captured a very key message from what Zhu Dazhuang just said.

"Let's go find Chu Lai."

"Are you crazy?" Zhou Kai was a little surprised.

"Going to find Zhu Lai, isn't that just throwing yourself into a trap?" Zhou Kai said sternly, "Lin Yi, please wake up. Even if you are really brothers, there is no emotion between you."

"Do you really think he would care about brotherhood and help us escape?"

"It's true that Zhu Lai and I didn't have any brotherhood before, but maybe we can cooperate with him." Lin Yi continued.

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

Looking back on my first encounter with Chu Lai, there were actually a lot of doubts.

The guards would go out for patrols regularly. Since Zhu Lai could hear the sound of the broken building collapsing, the rest of the guards should be able to hear it as well.

So why did Zhu Lai come alone?

Unless that day was not the day for the guards to patrol.

Since it was not the patrol day, why did Zhu Lai go out alone?

Could it be because he knew that Lin Yi and the others were coming and deliberately came to find them?

Lin Yi didn't know how Zhu Lai did it, but he felt that Zhu Lai might be the breakthrough to leave here.

From the conversation between Zhu Dazhuang and the others just now, Lin Yi could be sure that Zhu Lai did not tell about the little girl's ability, nor did he tell about An Chengdao and the others.

He was obsessed with the woman in the underground palace. In order to protect that woman, he should have tried his best to find Lin Yi and the others.

However, not only did he not do so, he even stayed in his room, as if...

waiting for Lin Yi to take the initiative to find him.

"He knew that we couldn't go out, and he also considered that it would be inconvenient for us to find him if we patrolled in the village." Lin Yi continued to explain.

"That's why he stayed in the house all the time."

"He didn't have a good relationship with the villagers. There must be something that only we can do. We help him do what he wants to do, and he helps us leave. That's the deal."
