Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, Zheng Miao, and Yan Ruoyu hurriedly ran to where Ouyang Qi was just now. When they got closer, they discovered that where the wooden board was originally placed, there was an unfathomable hole, and a piece of rusty iron was exposed at the hole. chain.
It seems that this is indeed a mechanism! Su Qiqi thought, stepped forward to check the chain, and then looked into the hole, trying to see the secret of the mechanism. However, it was dark inside the cave and nothing could be seen. Su Qiqi secretly thought that Ouyang Qi probably fell into the cave.
Qin Chuan, Zheng Miao, and Yan Ruoyu also came over to help search for any clues that Ouyang Qi might have left. However, the three of them searched the ground several times and still found nothing.
"What can we do? A living person just disappeared? It's unbelievable..." Zheng Miao said anxiously, looking at the unfathomable hole in the ground.
Yan Ruoyu also nodded in agreement. Then she tried to get closer to the hole and shouted inside. After a while, when they heard the echo from the cave, everyone was a little surprised and said: "This cave is quite deep..."
Qin Chuan asked Su Qiqi and others to take off their bracelets, stack several bracelets together, and touch the purple beads on the bracelets. Using the light emitted by the beads, he looked into the cave again. Seeing this, he couldn't help but take a breath of air and sighed: "This hole is really deep. It seems that the nerd fell hard. We have to go down and rescue him as soon as possible..."
Su Qiqi nodded when he heard the words, wandered at the entrance of the cave for a while, and said to Qin Chuan: "You and I will go down to explore the way first. If there is no problem, we will come down again with gentle and gentle rain..."
After that, Su Qiqi took the lead in using Qinggong and jumped into the cave. Qin Chuan also jumped in soon after. The two of them went down to the bottom of the cave, supported each other and groped forward for a while, and then gradually adapted to the darkness at the bottom of the cave. environment.
Su Qiqi gently touched the purple beads on the bracelet, put her ear close to the bracelet, and whispered: "Search for Ouyang Qi's location!"
After a while, a subtle mechanical sound sounded from the bracelet: "Ouyang Qi, we are currently heading towards the Beast Soul Palace of the Yeyou Alliance, about ten feet away from your location... There are people in black moving nearby... Situation More dangerous..."
After the sound of the bracelet disappeared, Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan quickly accelerated their pace and searched forward. At present, the function of the bracelet needs to be further optimized, and it is still unable to accurately locate the search target. It is also impossible to accurately understand the environment around Ouyang Qi. We can only find a way to find Ouyang Qi as soon as possible. I'm afraid there will be trouble if it's too late.
Thinking of this, Su Qiqi asked Qin Chuan to meet Zheng Miao and Yan Ruoyu at the entrance of the cave, while he continued to search for Ouyang Qi's whereabouts.
On the other side, Ouyang Qi was almost completely lost in the cave. Ever since he accidentally triggered the mechanism and fell into the hole, his head has been in a state of chaos. He has no idea where he is or where he should go. He can only blindly groping forward and leave accidentally. We arrived at the tunnel leading to the Beast Soul Hall of the Yeyou Alliance.
At this moment, he was groping forward fearfully. After walking for about half an hour, the front suddenly became clear. Ouyang Qi looked at the strange-shaped building that suddenly appeared in front of him and murmured: "What a magnificent building! But the shape is a bit weird... It can't be an ancient tomb..."
Thinking of this, his heart suddenly thumped: Oops, is there an agency here? Will I die here?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he felt chills all over. After pacing back and forth for a while, he decided not to continue wandering around, but to find a hidden corner to hide and wait for Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan to come over.
Ouyang Qi looked around and found that there was only a pile of abandoned stones in the southeast corner, which could barely hide. So he walked lightly and cautiously.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the rubble pile, he was startled, his face turned pale, and he stepped back with trembling lips.
"Weird...monster..." Ouyang Qi just took two steps back, then his legs went weak, his eyes turned white, and he fainted on the ground.
Behind the rubble, a one-horned beast came clattering over, opened its bloody mouth with sharp fangs, and was about to bite Ouyang Qi. At this critical moment, Su Qiqi and Qin Chuan arrived in time and fired their respective hidden weapons, scaring the strange beast back a few steps.
Yan Ruoyu also raised his sword and stepped forward to fight with the strange beast. Qin Chuan and Zheng Miao took the opportunity to help Ouyang Qi, took him to a relatively safe corner, and then went to help Su Qiqi and Yan Ruoyu besiege the alien beasts.
After about a cup of tea, the alien beast was finally repelled by everyone, but it also attracted a large number of men in black.
Under the leadership of Venerable Ye Youmeng, these men in black swarmed in like locusts, trapping Su Qiqi and others.
Su Qiqi felt extremely dizzy for a moment. She frowned and thought for a while, then decided to let Qin Chuan and Zheng Miao take Ouyang Qi to retreat first, while she and Yan Ruoyu took the rear and worked hard to break out.
Unfortunately, the venerable Yeyou League seemed to understand their intentions and ordered his men to surround all the passages. This left Su Qiqi and others with no way to retreat.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, Su Qiqi felt even more anxious. Just as he was about to break out desperately, he suddenly heard familiar voices and violent explosions at the end of the passage. Su Qiqi's expression relaxed a little. It seemed that reinforcements from his side had arrived!
The man in black, who was originally confident of winning, suddenly panicked. Someone shouted: "The tunnel was blown open! Someone broke in!"
Seeing the men in black in chaos, Su Qiqi couldn't help but be overjoyed. For her, this was a good time to break out!
Qin Chuan, Zheng Miao, Yan Ruoyu and others also looked happy, looking expectantly at the gap opened at the end of the passage.
Several familiar figures floated over. Su Qiqi shouted in surprise: "Dad! Second brother! Third brother!"
Nangong Qin, Nangong Yu, and Nangong Yue all smiled happily when they saw that Su Qiqi was fine, then came to help with their swords and helped Su Qiqi resolve the crisis.
When Qin Chuan saw Nangong Qin and others approaching, he quickly pulled away to say hello, and then continued to use all his strength to fight with the man in black. In less than a dozen rounds, he had already eliminated dozens of men in black.
With the arrival of Nangong Qin and others, the battle situation has undergone subtle changes. Although there were a large number of men in black, except for the Venerable, the other men in black were mediocre in martial arts and could not stop the fierce counterattack of Su Qiqi and others.
Soon, the Venerable was trapped by the combined efforts of Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, and Nangong Qin, and his men in black also lost nearly a hundred people.
Seeing the blood flowing everywhere on the ground and the corpses scattered everywhere, the venerable Yeyou League did not dare to continue fighting. He hurriedly ordered his men to retreat, took the remaining soldiers to escape into the Beast Soul Palace, and activated the mechanism near the palace door.
Su Qiqi and others were already on guard. When the men in black retreated, they deployed several small bombs and took out their diamond shields in advance to block them.
Tens of seconds later, when the opponent's mechanism began to shoot cold arrows and spit out flames, Su Qiqi and others also ignited small bombs. The entire Beast Soul Palace was filled with the sound of arrows and explosions, and the atmosphere was extremely terrifying. .
The two sides were in a stalemate for about a quarter of an hour. The men in black stopped attacking. Silence gradually returned to the tunnel, and Su Qiqi and others escaped smoothly.
On the way back, Su Qiqi and others sent Ouyang Qi to a nearby medical center to recuperate for a few days. Everyone booked several rooms at the Wanfu Inn near the medical center. They traveled between the inn and the medical center every day, taking turns taking care of Ouyang Qi.
About seven or eight days later, Ouyang Qi's injury gradually improved. You can get out of bed and walk around on your own, and you can also do some simple physical work. Everyone felt a little more relieved. However, seeing the haggard and frail look on his face, everyone decided to do the best and personally escort Ouyang Qi to the capital to take the exam.
Before leaving, Nangong Qin received a letter from the prefect, saying that he would hold an escort conference at the end of the month and invite several well-known local escort agencies to participate. Nangong Qin discussed with Su Qiqi and others and decided that he would take Nangong Yu and Nangong Yue back to prepare for relevant matters. Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan and others escorted Ouyang Qi to Beijing to take the exam.
After Nangong Qin and others left, Su Qiqi temporarily recruited several new bodyguards to enrich his bodyguard team.
Among the new team members recruited this time, one person caught Su Qiqi's attention, and that was Luo Xiaoshi, who Su Qiqi rescued from Luo's Wood Carving Shop! This young man of only thirteen or fourteen years old is not only clever and skilled in martial arts, but he is also an expert at carving. He can copy the seals and sculptures of various famous artists and they can almost look real.
Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, Zheng Miao, Yan Ruoyu and others are very optimistic about this young man who comes from a poor background but is extremely talented. Everyone took good care of him along the way.
Although Luo Xiaoshi is young, he is very knowledgeable about people and the world, is serious and measured in his work, and gets along very well with other bodyguards.
Su Qiqi saw his performance clearly, and she decided to cultivate this young man with great potential. He might become the mainstay of the revitalized escort bureau in the future.
For this reason, Su Qiqi personally taught Luo Xiaoshi's martial arts whenever he had time. Even the nerd Ouyang Qi couldn't help but envy Luo Xiaoshi for meeting Bole. Only Wang Yuanwu, another newly joined bodyguard, was a little unconvinced. How could a fledgling young man be more powerful than him, an escort with more than ten years of experience as an escort? Being favored by the young master?
For this reason, he was polite on the surface, but often made things difficult for Luo Xiaoshi in private. Luo Xiaoshi knew that Wang Yuanwu was jealous of him and often embarrassed him, but he didn't care at all. For him, being able to join the escort agency was much better than his days as an apprentice in a woodcarving shop. Moreover, he could learn a lot from being with Sister Su'er and Brother Qinchuan, so he didn't take this trouble to heart at all and only concentrated on practicing martial arts and improving his carving skills.
Wang Yuanwu took Luo Xiaoshi's unwillingness to conflict with him as the other party's contempt for him, and became even more jealous. He always wanted to find opportunities to show Luo Xiaoshi some color.
On this day, Wang Yuanwu finally waited for an opportunity. While Su Qiqi and others were out, he pushed the other new escorts away, and then secretly poured the special poison he bought with a lot of money into the water bag that Luo Xiaoshi often drank from, and hung the water bag back to Luo Xiaoshi to sleep. bedside.
That night, when he returned to the room, the room was already full of people. He was secretly rejoicing when a new escort who lived with him came over mysteriously and said to him: "Brother Yuanwu, Did you know? Someone poisoned our room..."
Wang Yuanwu pretended to be calm and asked: "Oh? Who poisoned you? Did someone get into trouble?"
The escort looked horrified and said angrily: "I don't know yet...I don't know which bastard did it...I poisoned Brother Luo's water bag...Fortunately, I'm here today." After drinking tea outside, if I had borrowed Brother Luo's water to drink like before, I would have lost half my life..."
Wang Yuanwu's face changed a little strangely, and he asked without giving up: "Luo Xiaoshi hasn't drank yet, how do you know that someone has poisoned him..."
The escort looked around and said in a low voice: "Hey, it wasn't the greedy cat raised by the innkeeper's wife who scratched the water bag off. The water poured all over his head and face, and he went blind on the spot... "
"Oh...oh...that's it...how could something like this happen..." Wang Yuanwu looked around with a guilty conscience. Little did he know that every move he made had already fallen into the eyes of Luo Xiaoshi, who was silent at the side. Luo Xiaoshi's eyes seemed to have lost the gentleness before, and there was a chilling chill in his whole eyes.
