When Mrs. Wu came to the window of the main room, she inadvertently glanced at the scene inside the window, which scared her so much that she almost screamed. He took a few steps back in panic before he came back to his senses.
Opposite her, in the half-open window, a bloodless face was staring at her from the window. Beside the face were strings of snake skins hanging upside down, swinging in the wind like streamers, which was very strange.
Looking at the horrific scene in front of her, Mrs. Wu felt waves of heart palpitations. After much hesitation, she decided to go back to the mountain to report the abnormal situation to the alliance leader before making a decision. Thinking of this, she immediately took up her Qinggong skills and left the house full of strange atmosphere as if she were running away.
Not long after she left, the person inside the window took off his mask and whispered to the other person hiding behind the snake skin: "Brother Yue, you can come out now..."
Nangong Yue carefully poked his head out of the pile of snake skins, looked out the window for a while, and said incredulously: "Xiaochuan, Mrs. Wu is really gone?"
Qin Chuan nodded, fiddled with the leather mask in his hand and said, "I don't know which senior's craftsmanship this is. It's really amazing. Even Mrs. Wu didn't see any flaws..."
Nangong Yue also looked at the leather mask in his hand and said with a smile: "Xiaochuan, do you think the senior who made this mask is the owner of this house?"
Hearing this, Qin Chuan pondered for a while and murmured: "It's hard to say. Let's go to other rooms first. Maybe there will be unexpected discoveries..."
Nangong Yue nodded, put on his mask again, walked out of the room with snake skins with Qin Chuan, and went to check out the other rooms next door.
The two searched carefully for a while and found only some dusty pots and jars and a few books. Qin Chuan carefully examined the jars and books, and was pleasantly surprised to find that two of the books were long-lost martial arts secrets and weapon atlases.
He and Nangong Yue each took a copy, stuffed it into their waists, and planned to leave the house. As soon as the two of them walked into the courtyard, they met Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu coming towards them.
"You...why did you come to the painting?" Qin Chuan looked at Su Qiqi and asked in confusion.
Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu looked at each other and replied with a smile: "We went to Wu Sankui to ask about the method of entering the painting..."
"Oh, then do you know how to escape from here?" Qin Chuan looked at Su Qiqi expectantly, waiting for her answer.
Su Qiqi smiled, nodded, and said, "We have to find an ancient well in this house. There is a secret passage leading outside the painting..."
Qin Chuan and Nangong Yue were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then said excitedly: "Let's go find the ancient well..."
"Wait, did you discover anything just now?" Su Qiqi called Qin Chuan and Nangong Yue. Yan Ruoyu also looked at Qin Chuan and Nangong Yue with curiosity.
Qin Chuan smiled and said: "I found some pots for refining medicine and a few ancient books...here, let me show you this..." Qin Chuan said, taking out the martial arts secret book from his waist and handing it to Su Qiqi. Nangong Yue also handed Yan Ruoyu his collection of weapon atlases.
Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu flipped through a few pages, and showed expressions of surprise, and said happily: "This is a good book, you should keep it well..." After that, they returned the book to Qin Chuan and Nangongyue.
Qin Chuan put away the books, glanced at the direction where Mrs. Wu left, and said in a low voice: "Let's go find the ancient well first, and we'll talk about the rest later..."
Su Qiqi, Yan Ruoyu and Nangong Yue all agreed. The four of them started their Qinggong and came to the bamboo forest next to the house. There are two ancient wells standing there.
"Ah! There are two wells! It's hard to find them!" Yan Ruoyu walked around the two ancient wells and couldn't help but complain.
Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan also frowned and pondered. Nangongyue simply picked up a few stones and threw them into the two ancient wells. Then he said happily: "These two wells are different. One has water and the other is a dry well. Could the exit be in that dry well..."
Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, and Yan Ruoyu were overjoyed when they heard this. Qin Chuan volunteered, "You guys stay here while I go to the dry well to explore the situation..." After that, he jumped down into one of the dry wells.
Nangong Yue also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Qin Chuan, so he, Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu stood by the ancient well, waiting for news from Qin Chuan.
The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour, and they all lost their composure. Su Qiqi looked nervously into the dry well and said to Nangong Yue and Yan Ruoyu: "Third brother, Ruoyu, I'll go down and take a look..."
Before Nangong Yue and Yan Ruoyu could react, Su Qiqi had already jumped into the dry well and disappeared at the bottom of the deep well in the blink of an eye. Nangong Yue and Yan Ruoyu had no choice but to sigh helplessly and continue to wait.
After another moment of burning incense, Nangong Yue and Yan Ruoyu couldn't help but feel sleepy. They were planning to sit down and close their eyes for a while. Suddenly I heard a noise coming from outside the courtyard.
Nangongyue listened carefully for a while, then hurriedly pulled Yan Ruoyu to stand up, and whispered: "Miss Yan, I think people from the Ye You League are here. Let's find a place to hide for a while..."
Yan Ruoyu nodded and ran to the bamboo forest beside Nangong Yue. Not long after the two of them ran into the bamboo forest, several men in black broke in, took a closer look at the ancient well, and hurried out again.
"What happened to these people? They came and left again..." Yan Ruoyu looked at the back of the man in black and murmured in confusion.
Nangong Yue also watched the movements of the men in black nervously, and whispered: "I hope they don't notice us..." After saying that, he lightly patted Yan Ruoyu's arm and motioned for her to move aside.
Yan Ruoyu understood what he meant and moved to the place with thick bamboo leaves nearby. The two of them had just settled in. Then they heard a burst of sharp laughter, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.
Leader of the Yeyou Alliance and Mrs. Wu! Nangong Yue and Yan Ruoyu were both surprised. They did not expect that the leader of the Yeyou Alliance and Mrs. Wu had discovered their hiding place and were standing not far from the two of them with a sinister expression on their faces and an evil smile. Look at the two of them.
Nangong Yue and Yan Ruoyu looked around in a panic. There was a hint of despair in my heart. What should I do?
Mrs. Wu was slowly walking towards the two of them. Every time she took a step, Nangong Yue and Yan Ruoyu felt like boulders rolling past their hearts, and their breathing became rapid and difficult.
How to do it? The younger sister and Qin Chuan are still underground, and it is unpredictable... He and Miss Yan have encountered a strong enemy again. Are they going to die today? Nangong Yue gritted his teeth unwillingly, took out the hidden weapon hidden in his sleeve, and blocked it in front of Yan Ruoyu.
When Mrs. Wu saw the two of them in such a state, she smiled contemptuously and said, "You better stop showing off! The only way to survive is to cooperate with us!"
