The stone door was easily opened, and the three of them moved forward along the narrow passage. The passage was surrounded by stones that were obviously dug out by humans.
This kind of project cannot be completed in a day or two. Perhaps this passage existed before the natural disaster.
It seems that not all the forces related to the mysterious tribe were in the village at that time, otherwise they would not have created such a sneaky passage in the village.
Finally, they came out to take a look and found that the exit was in the small woods not far from the stockade.
Zhang Xing stretched his muscles and took a deep breath: "I thought this passage would lead all the way to that mysterious tribe."
Shi Lingyao said expressionlessly: "Then I will definitely blow open the hole in the middle."
There was a small sound of broken branches.
The three of them turned their heads.
A small black shadow ran into the middle of the branches.
Zhang Xing was startled: "What?! It can't be a mouse, right?"
Heiwawa can understand people's words. When he heard what Zhang Xing said, he immediately stopped hiding and made an angry "haha" sound.
Zhang Xing was a little hesitant when he heard the movement: "This movement doesn't seem to be a mouse..."
Shi Lingyao's expression remained as usual: "I'm busy tonight and can't accompany you."
Zhang Xing was stunned.
She continued: "We will leave here and go back to the south in two days. If you are willing to follow me, come find me. If not, we will see you again in the future."
Zhang Xing blinked, and he realized with hindsight that Shi Lingyao might be talking to something.
Except for "Siha" Zhang Xing, there was no other movement about the black doll.
Shi Lingyao stopped caring about the black doll and looked around.
The three people's torches illuminated a large area nearby. There was a clear line of footprints on the ground, extending from the depths of the forest and stopping right in front of the cave entrance where they came out.
Looking at the traces, it was obvious that they were left by the different-looking human figure.
There was a thinking expression on her face: "Do you remember what it was doing when you kicked it out?"
Jing Hexuan: "Get the quilt."
She raised her eyebrows: "It doesn't look like it's wearing a quilt, so who is it giving the quilt to?"
Zhang Xing suddenly realized: "Did you get it for Miss Qin?! It is the murderer who took Miss Qin away!"
He became happy and said one after another: "The guards did not neglect their duty by not noticing anyone coming or going, because Miss Qin was tied up and left this hole!"
"Then let's follow the footprints in reverse and find the place where it hid Miss Qin!"
Shi Lingyao smiled and nodded: "The analysis is correct."
Zhang Xing immediately had a happy expression on his face, but then his face fell down again as he thought of something.
"But it's also possible to go to the nest of the four-faced humanoids and find more four-faced ones... Let's forget it. To be on the safe side, let's go back and call for people. It's safer to have more people, right?"
But she walked away, walking with her hands behind her back, following the footprints deeper into the woods:
"I think it's unlikely. If there are more similar monsters in that different lair, it won't hide in the village by itself."
Jing Hexuan followed her footsteps and agreed: "It's like I can't survive anymore and I'm looking for a place to hide."
Zhang Xing had no choice but to follow the two of them.
The three of them walked slowly deep into the woods under the orange firelight.
There is always a small sound from the side, a bit like the sound of twigs breaking, or maybe the sound of falling ice shards.
Zhang Xing was surprised at first, but found that the two bosses were fine, so he calmed down.
Soon they passed through the entire forest and reached the foot of the mountain.
This is a nearby hill. It is not high, the woods are not dense, and there are no animals living on the mountain, so few people come here to hunt.
The footprints led them to a very hidden cave.
Zhang Xing took a photo inside and could vaguely smell a strange smell.
It's like the excrement of livestock accumulated together without ventilation, giving off a slightly fermented smell after being left out for a long time.
It's smelly, sour and damp.
Zhang Xing turned around and asked, "Shall we go in?"
Shi Lingyao probed into the cave with his mind. The cave was not deep, and it looked like a garbage dump. The bones of various animals were scattered everywhere.
There is a pile of straw in the far corner, with a person huddled on it.
It's Qin Ying.
She said calmly: "Miss Qin is inside."
Zhang Xing was overjoyed: "Great! I actually found it! Then let me go in and take Miss Qin out. I feel that the environment inside is not very good. Doctor Shi, can you and the boss wait outside?"
She dusted off the snow on her sleeves and said, "It doesn't matter, I just want to go in and see if there are any other things in this cave."
After all, her telekinesis may not be accurate now.
What she "sees" may not necessarily be the whole picture.
Jing Hexuan still took the lead, she followed, and Zhang Xing took the lead.
The three of them entered the cramped passage one by one.
The stench became more obvious the further inside, and the air contained the characteristic dampness of a beast's lair.
"arrive."
Jing Hexuan stepped aside, and the scene in front of him suddenly became clearer.
As she "saw", the cave was not big, probably less than two feet square. Qin Ying was huddled on the haystack in the corner, not knowing whether she was asleep or in a coma.
Jing Hexuan and Zhang Xing went to check the space in the cave to see if there were any other hidden things.
She came to Qin Ying's side. From the sound of her breathing, she must have fallen asleep, but she might be nervous and afraid of having nightmares. In such a cold winter night, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Miss Qin?"
She shook Qin Ying, trying to wake her up.
Qin Ying was still alert and woke up instantly. She screamed "Ah" and moved back using her hands and feet.
Shi Lingyao stretched out his hand to hold her down: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! Hush, hush... It's me, Shi Lingyao, we are here to save you."
Only then did Qin Ying react, and after taking a closer look, she cried and rushed towards her, hugging her tightly: "Doctor Shi! Wuwuwuwu, I'm so scared..."
She patted her back comfortingly and coaxed her softly: "It's okay, it's okay, we've come to rescue you, don't be afraid..."
Fortunately, Qin Ying was not that delicate little girl. After calming down, she wiped her face in embarrassment: "I'm sorry to have caused you any trouble."
Seeing that she was okay, Shi Lingyao pulled her to stand up: "Everyone is worried about you, and they will be very happy to know that you are safe."
The other two people came over and said they didn't find anything. It was just an ordinary cave.
"Then let's go back, it's almost dawn," she said.
Everyone went home.
On the other side, Jiang Heng and the others gained nothing.
Other than confirming that these four different looks are either man-made or because he looks like this, he doesn't know anything else.
