The long night is coming to an end, and on the top of the mountains in the distance, the white fish belly on the horizon is surrounded by colorful rays of light. The layers of mountain shadows break away from the darkness and reveal their true colors.
Xu Feng suddenly appeared, making Liu Ruyan, who was in panic, surprised and happy!
Liu Ruyan leaned on the ground with her sword on the ground, opened her eyes wide, and cried out in joy: "Uncle Xu, it's you, it's really you! How are you?" He suddenly groaned in his mouth, and a strong stinging pain hit him. All over the body. He lowered his head and looked at the wounds. It turned out that in the fight just now, several wounds on his body had been torn apart by force, and they were already bloody and dripping with blood.
Xu Feng was shocked when he saw this. He hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support him. He frowned and said: "Yan'er, you are injured! How do you feel? Is it okay?" Xu Feng put the iron sword on his waist and held it with both hands. Looking over his shoulder, he looked at him nervously.
Xu Feng saw that his body was covered with blood, and blood spilled from several needle wounds. He hurriedly said: "Yan'er, please bear with me, I will pull out these needles. If the poison is extracted from the needles, we will be in trouble!"
He pulled out the short needles from Liu Ruyan's body one by one, put the short needles in front of his eyes and looked carefully. There was no sign of the blood on the needles turning black, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Liu Ruyan smiled and shook her head and said: "Uncle Xu, I'm fine! We escaped from the other courtyard while taking advantage of the chaos in the middle of the night. We originally thought you would be able to follow us soon, so we waited at the entrance of the stone cave in front and saw you for a long time. If you didn't show up, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get away, so I turned back!" He slowly exhaled, seeing that Xu Feng was safe and sound, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Xu Feng suddenly tore off a few long strips from the rags on his body and bandaged Liu Ruyan's wound to prevent excessive blood loss and damage to his vitality. After simply treating the wound, Xu Feng looked around to make sure that no one was chasing him from behind, and hurriedly said: "You can't stay here for a long time. Hurry, let's leave here before they catch up!"
Liu Ruyan nodded, looked at the long cliff path halfway down the mountain, and said, "They are waiting at the entrance of the cave. We have to go down the mountain quickly."
Xu Feng's face was filled with sadness. After a night of fierce fighting, he was already exhausted and had several scars on his body, but no vital parts were injured.
Liu Ruyan saw a few shallow scars exposed on the damaged areas of Xu Feng's clothes, and said with concern: "Uncle Xu, are your injuries okay?"
Xu Feng smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, it's okay. It's just that I feel a little strange. This Hell Gate is rumored to be very evil by people outside, but it is just a few ordinary houses, and there is no hidden treasure." Hidden weapon mechanism, hum, it’s a place where dragons and tigers are hidden, it’s just a false name.”
Liu Ruyan said thoughtfully: "Yesterday, Brother Zhao and I entered the Hell Gate and searched around the backyard but found no sign of the master. We were very nervous at the time, thinking that something might have happened to the master. Later, we entered the front yard. We found his old man in a secret room in the front yard. When we were waiting for an opportunity to rescue the master, we were bumped into by several people from Hell Gate, so we started a fight with them. During the fight, someone threw a handful of white smoke at us, and then We both fainted."
He recalled the scene at that time and continued: "I don't know when, they got me into that wing room, and it didn't take long before I saw you guys!" His brows were full of sorrow. Obviously, he didn't know what they were doing. What exactly happened after fainting?
The two people sped up their pace and crossed the steepest and narrowest section of the plank road calmly. However, this section of the road was much easier than walking at night.
One old and one young, one behind the other, talking as they walked, Xu Feng said: "If I guessed correctly, they first knocked you out with drugs, and then they tampered with you!" He thought. He said, "If you think about it, your master and Zhao Shaoxia have been unconscious. I think they must have been poisoned by a very powerful poison! As for what kind of poison it is, I can't tell yet. But the strange thing is that you You both fainted at the same time, and you quickly regained your consciousness, but they are still the same?" He really couldn't understand the strangeness of this.
Unconsciously, the two people had arrived at the entrance of the cave where everyone had rested. At this moment, the entrance of the cave was empty. Where was their shadow?
The two of them were immediately surprised. Liu Ruyan looked around the entrance of the cave and blurted out: "Just now, I asked everyone to wait for us when I left, but why is no one missing?"
An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart: Could it be that something happened here after I left? Or was he discovered by the people from Hell Gate? He began to feel uneasy at the thought that they might be in danger.
Xu Feng glanced around, and the two of them searched for any traces of horses and horses around the entrance of the cave. The scene was no different from when he left, and no signs of fighting were found.
Xu Feng said doubtfully: "When I escaped from the Hell Gate, I didn't see any strangers along the way. It wasn't until I was approaching the Mid-level Pavilion that I noticed someone fighting. So I hid on the side of the road and watched carefully. I saw clearly that it was you. I quickly stepped forward to help the man in white, and I didn’t find anyone suspicious in the process?"
Liu Ruyan looked inside at the entrance of the cave. The interior of the cave was hollow, only a few meters square. The inside of the cave was clearly visible. Except for some gravel and gravel scattered on the ground, there was nothing else.
Liu Ruyan murmured: "There are no traces of fighting here. After coming down from Hell Gate, only this plank road can lead to the outside. I think there should be no one from Hell Gate, otherwise we would meet halfway. ." His eyes suddenly lit up and he seemed to have thought of something. "By the way, I told Xiangmei when I left that if I don't come back after an hour, let them leave first. Could it be that they were worried that things would change and entered the mountain? In the dense forest behind?" He looked at the large deep woods at the end of the plank road ahead.
Xu Feng said without hesitation, "Yes, in that case, they might have gone down the mountain! Come on, let's go take a look in the forest ahead."
Without any further hesitation, the two of them spread out their bodies and ran away on the plank road.
In a moment, he had already run two miles and arrived at the edge of the dense forest. It was very quiet in the dense forest shrouded in white mist. Apart from the chirping of birds in the forest and the chirping of insects in the grass, no other sounds could be heard.
The two of them searched around in the woods, which was several miles away from the gate of hell. Liu Ruyan and Xu Feng called Luo Xiangxue and Lei Zhentian while searching.
After calling a few times, there was no movement in the forest. The two people wandered around in the forest separately. After a while, there was still no sign of them.
Xu Feng quickly ran towards Liu Ruyan and said, "It seems that they are not in this forest. Where do you think they are hiding?"
Liu Ruyan thought for a while, looked at the dense trees around him, and said, "By the way, there is a Stonehenge outside this forest, on the opposite mountainside. Could they have gone there? That would be a hiding place. Great place!”
Xu Feng frowned and looked at the long sloping slope outside the forest, nodded thoughtfully and said: "I think they can't go far with two unconscious people. Quick, let's go over and take a look. "
Without any explanation, the two men flew out of the dense forest like arrows, and in a moment, they had arrived in front of the giant stone formation.
The two people were extremely cautious and searched separately in the stone circle. They stopped shouting loudly because they were worried that people from Hell Gate would appear around them.
While Liu Ruyan was wandering among the strange-shaped stones, he suddenly heard a faint cough. He immediately stopped. The low cough was still intermittent. He carefully judged the direction of the cough.
Because large and small stones are too dense here, it is difficult to distinguish the direction when there is any noise. Liu Ruyan turned sideways to listen and found that the cough came from due north. He walked towards due north. Sure enough, the further he walked, the louder the sound. As it became clearer and clearer, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
He had to be more vigilant, gripped his sword tightly, and came to a screen-like stone. He calmed down, and he could clearly hear the voice coming from behind the stone.
Liu Ruyan shouted softly in a deep voice: "Who is it?" He leaned behind the stone.
The coughing sound was intermittent, and a woman's voice sounded with joy: "Is it Brother Liu?"
Liu Ruyan's heart moved, and he recognized that this was Luo Xiangxue's familiar voice.
