Chapter 158 Negotiation
This turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I was able to get some information out.
"He said that he was sealed in the Bronze Sparrow Tower. There was a man named Cao Cao who had been holding the two sisters in the Bronze Sparrow Tower."
“Although I don’t know who this person named Cao Cao is, he doesn’t sound like a good person.”
"But he also said something else. He wanted us to help rescue his sister. He said he was willing to lead the way for us in the Bronze Sparrow Tower to express his gratitude."
Hearing this, Ye Chen did not hesitate at all. He waved his hand and asked everyone to follow him and set off there now.
When they arrived at the place, everyone was extremely shocked by the structure of the cave and turned to Zhao Yun for confirmation.
Is this the kind of damn place they just came out from?
Zhao Yun nodded with a bitter face.
This cave is very hidden and cannot be found unless you look carefully.
Such a Feng Shui treasure land must not be known by them alone. Isn’t the person Xiao Qiao mentioned an example?
Looking at the waterfall flowing backwards in front of me, it still has not frozen in this environment of minus seventy degrees Celsius, but flows very smoothly.
Ye Chen walked forward with a frown, touched the flowing water with a frown, and clearly felt an unusual breath on it.
Although he didn't know where this came from, his intuition told him that the things here must not be that simple.
Zhao Yun beside him had a look of hesitation on his face. If Ye Chen turned his head to look at him, he would see his expression.
But at this moment, no one had time to pay attention to him, especially He Xi on the other side, who was looking around here and there, constantly sizing up the surrounding environment.
"This place is different from anything I've seen before. It's so exquisite. It feels like a new little world."
"And the pattern on this big rock is so unique that I thought I was seeing things at first."
"But why does this place look so messy? It's not what I expected."
After hearing his words, the line in Ye Chen's mind finally connected.
Yes, if what Zhao Yun said is true, then the Bronze Sparrow Tower must be nearby.
But a few people came in and made a big circle.
Not to mention the Bronze Sparrow Tower, even human figures are rarely seen.
What exactly is going on.
He turned his head to look at the person next to him, as if wanting to get an explanation from Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun lowered his head in sweat and told the secret.
It turned out that the reason they found Xiao Qiao was because they accidentally fell into an underground secret passage while exploring.
But if you want to restore the original route again, it will definitely not be that easy.
"In fact, we don't know where the secret passage opened. It was just that they slipped and I went to rescue them, and that's when I was swept to the bottom of the lake."
"I see. I thought it was a big deal. If we can't find the entrance, we can just look for it together. Why are we so scared? Besides, I see that the air around here is always circulating. Maybe what we are looking for is right in front of us, but we haven't found it yet."
Xiao Qiao, who had been standing at the back without saying a word, suddenly appeared.
We had not originally planned to take him with us on today's operation.
After all, it had nothing to do with him, and he could stay away from there after being rescued. But he was stubborn and not only refused to wait there, but also asked to go to the cave with them to search.
In desperation, he brought the person over.
But what he said at this moment undoubtedly surprised everyone.
"I know where the entrance is, but in exchange, you have to promise me to help me rescue my sister as well."
When he said this, he still felt a little uneasy.
After all, he has already revealed that he knows the terrain here.
If they are unwilling to help force me, it seems that it is not impossible to tell them.
Just when he was feeling nervous, He Xi next to him suddenly came up to him, put her arm around his shoulders, and smiled sweetly.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier? We were just trying to figure out where to find the exit."
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Qiao looked back at him bewilderedly. Could he be crazy? What she had just said was clearly not pleasant to hear.
As if noticing his uneasy expression, the atmosphere among the people nearby eased a little.
"Why do you have to worry? I rescued you because you didn't care about these issues. Look how scared you are. If someone didn't know, they would think we were going to attack you."
"Yeah, why do you still think so? All of us are helping you out of our hearts. No one is trying to get anything out of you. So don't be nervous here."
He Xi, who was standing by, was a little amused when she heard what they said. She turned her head to look over, thinking that it was some big deal.
I didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, it would end up being just this kind of negotiation.
I really don’t know what everyone does on a daily basis to leave such an impression on him.
As the person in charge here, Ye Chen naturally stood up and said a few words to calm him down.
"Don't worry, we will never give up on anyone we can save. Just wait here. But where exactly does this road you pointed out lead to? I hope you can let us know in advance so that we can be mentally prepared."
"Also, this underground area is complicated. To ensure your safety, you can't be too far away from us. This is the communicator we usually use. Take it. If there is any problem, contact us immediately. We will rush back as soon as we receive the signal."
"Also, the water under this lake doesn't look particularly stable, but there is a place that I feel is relatively safe. If you can't find it, we can take shelter here temporarily."
Xiao Qiao was also speechless when she saw the direction he pointed. This guy's intuition was not just accurate, but extremely accurate.
Even if I didn't show them the way, they would probably reach where they wanted to go in about ten minutes.
Ye Chen was a little confused when he noticed that the person next to him suddenly fell silent.
But no time was wasted here.
After getting in touch with other companions around him, he directed them to move toward the designated location.
"Zhao Yun is responsible for leading a small team to break out from the right side and carefully observe the surrounding positions to prevent others from launching a sneak attack."
"Zhuge Liang, take another team to stand guard on the left side. If there is any emergency, notify us in time."
"Zhang Liang led the observation team to stand firm in the nearby pastries, ensuring the distance between those guys and us, and guarding against their sudden appearance."
