C249 Truth or Lies
"I don't want to be confused." Lee Yang raised his head and sighed, "But I don't want to die like this either. Didn't they want that secret? "Okay, I'll let them have the secret, and I'll destroy it."
"Don't be like that, Lee Yang. We don't even know where we are right now, so why do you need to take the risk?" Jee Rou held Lee Yang's hand and pleaded, "I know I have done a lot of things to let you down, but I have no other choice. If I don't …" Lee Yang, I'm begging you, okay? We don't do anything, just wait here for death to descend, okay? I am already satisfied to die together with you. "
"Are you satisfied? I'm not satisfied. " At this time, Zhang Yuvmin roared, "Hsing Dafu knows everything and you know everything, but you just won't tell me. Before, I didn't understand what Hsing Dafu told me, but now I do. But he was wrong, the person who would betray him was not Lee Yang, but me, Zhang Yuvmin. Even if I die, I have to destroy this plan. Lee Yang, do you want to come with me? "
Wanyan Cuiyan sneered at the side, "Poor two men. They don't even know where they are, yet they brazenly talk about ruining their opponent's plan. Do you know where that secret is? Do you know how to find that secret? You don't know how to destroy anything. "
"Don't tell me you know about it?" Lee Yang asked.
"I didn't know it at first, but now I know." Wanyan Cuiyan said.
Lee Yang frowned: "What do you mean?"
"The most important key to that secret is with this woman. If she wants to tell you, then everything can be done, but if she doesn't want to tell you, then there is no other way. I think you should understand before you come that this place is connected to another place, and that she is the one who passed on information from another place. Only a verbal instruction would not leave any evidence. I think that this is the only woman in the world who knows how to open that secret, besides Hsing Dafu and Xia Yihann. " Wanyan Cuiyan pointed at Jee Rou as she spoke coldly.
Lee Yang's and Zhang Yuvmin's gaze instantly focused on Jee Rou.
Jee Rou covered her face and said, "Don't look at me, I won't let you die."
Lee Yang sneered and said: "Die, is our current situation not bad enough?" I will not wait for death. Even if I die, I will die with dignity. "Jee Rou, tell me, what should I do?"
Zhang Yuvmin rushed up and grabbed Jee Rou's shoulders with both hands and growled, "Tell me, what should we do?"
"I won't." Jee Rou raised her head and looked at Lee Yang with teary eyes, "Please, don't make me say it."
"Why? Why do you still have to help that old man?" Lee Yang went mad.
Jee Rou didn't say another word. She leaned against the cliff wall and closed her eyes. Zhang Yuvmin wanted to raise his hand to slap Jee Rou, but he was caught by Lee Yang.
The atmosphere in the cave fell into silence.
Wanyan Cuiyan looked at the wounds on her body and the corner of her mouth twitched. Then, she walked to Lee Yang and asked, "How did you find me?"
Lee Yang said, "I found you through the cracks created by those guys. At that time, I was also attacked by Bai Shi Mu and I was about to die." In the end, he muddled his way through the crack in the stone and discovered that he could escape from here. Carrying them everywhere along the crevices of the rocks, I met you on the way. When I first saw you, I thought I saw a ghost. After that, there were too many questions that prevented me from leaving you alone, so I took you along with me. Fortunately, I was able to encounter such a cave very quickly, or else I would have to die from exhaustion. Leading three people to move through these small cracks would have been quite a strenuous task. "
Wanyan Cuiyan looked around the cave and suddenly said, "Have you noticed that those strange things seem to have disappeared?"
Lee Yang said calmly, "When you fainted, these guys all died. If there were no surprises, it was caused by someone else outside. "Of course there should still be some who escaped the net, but I've pretty much recovered by now, even if two more came out, I can still take it."
After two days, everyone experienced what it meant to be hungry beyond death. Everyone's stomach was growling, and even if Lee Yang had reached the peak of the Profound Rank, he still needed five grains to fill his stomach. Especially Jee Rou, she was already quite weak. Plus, she was clearly more emotional than the others and soon began to have a fever. Every day, she would have to rely on Lee Yang to instill zhenqi into her to catch her last breath.
Zhang Yuvmin gradually recovered. However, his face was dark all the time. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Without food, they might be able to hold on for a while, but lack of fresh water brought them to the brink of collapse.
This cave was the same as the cave before, there was no exit beyond the crack they climbed into. Lee Yang didn't have the courage to climb out of the crack again, not to mention he had three people with him now. Even if they were at their peak strength, they might not be able to climb out.
Wanyan Cuiyan's condition wasn't any better. There were too many wounds on her body, and some of them had already started to fester. In this aspect, Lee Yang didn't have a good idea either. Not to mention that his own arm was injured, which was enough to make him unable to control his own tempo.
Two days later, the cave began to shake violently.
Yellow liquid began to seep out from the cracks, along with a pungent smell.
Zhang Yuvmin was the first to react. He shouted "sulfuric acid" and wanted to use the things in the cave to seal the gap. However, the amount of sulfuric acid increased, so he looked at where they were going to stand.
"It's that bastard Xia Yihann, it must be him. He wants us all to die here. " Zhang Yuvmin said with a hint of insanity.
Lee Yang stood on the stone bench while holding a piece of paper in one hand. Then, he looked at Jee Rou and said, "Are you still not willing to tell me about it?"
Jee Rou bit her lips, feeling conflicted.
Zhang Yuvmin rarely used a pleading voice to speak to Jee Rou, "Good little sister, even if you want us to die here, you shouldn't let us die so miserably. It was too depressing to be scalded to death with sulfuric acid. Can you tell us where the exit is? "
Jee Rou gently touched Lee Yang's face and said, "Do you hate me?"
"Now is not the time for your love affair. Tell me where the exit is." Zhang Yuvmin said crazily.
"At the beginning, I felt a little bit of hatred, but now, I no longer hate him. We are just taking a different stand." Lee Yang said indifferently.
"The exit is under the stone table." Jee Rou closed her eyes and said in a pained tone.
Then, he touched a protruding disc, trying to move it to the left and right a bit. There was no reaction, and then he pressed down hard, and there was a series of cracking sounds, the stone table slowly caved in, and a few minutes later, a pitch black tunnel was revealed. There were also stairs.
What was remarkable was that there was a bulging area around the stone table that blocked the sulfuric acid. The few of them jumped into the passage one by one. Lee Yang reached out his hand and restored the mechanism to its original position.
"Lee Yang, there is something I must tell you. After entering this tunnel, your fate has changed. There are some people you can trust, but you must not be blinded and believe in people you should not believe in. " Wanyan Cuiyan suddenly whispered something strange into Lee Yang's ear.
Lee Yang turned his head and looked at her thoughtfully, but didn't say anything.
The passageway wasn't very long, but it was a bit steep. A few people almost slid to the bottom. It was still dark here, but they could hear the sound of wind in their ears, giving them a very eerie feeling. Wanyan Cuiyan, no matter how gutsy she was, was still a girl. Suddenly, she couldn't take it anymore and grabbed Lee Yang's sleeve, afraid that he would abandon her.
However, when Wanyan Cuiyan touched Lee Yang's hand, she realized that she had caught the wrong person.
Because what she felt was a hairy hand.
Wanyan Cuiyan immediately screamed, completely forgetting that she could still attack. She covered her ears and screamed. The sound penetrated the entire underground world, reverberating in every direction.
"Shut up." Liu Da roared, then Wanyan Cuiyan felt a gust of wind from her nose and realized instantly that it was the wind from the saber. She also saw a string of sparks in front of her eyes. In the dim light of the sparks, she saw a black shadow fleeing into the distance. It looked similar to a savage.
Before he came here, he didn't hear that there were any primitive people down here.
A flame lit up in front of their eyes. It was Lee Yang who had ignited the lighter in his hand. It was fortunate that there was such a tool. Otherwise, they would really be blind here.
However, the area that the firelight could reach was only a few meters in front of him.
"Is everyone alright?" Lee Yang asked.
Zhang Yuvmin was also scared to death. Of course, most of the factor was Wanyan Cuiyan's sudden scream. He didn't even have the time to react at that moment.

Wanyan Cuiyan said fearfully, "What was that thing just now?"
Lee Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "God knows what it is. Without lighting, we don't know what's in front of us. The lighter won't be able to support us for long, so we have to hurry and see if we can find some light sources. Otherwise, it would be suicide to not have any light sources in such a place. "Zhang Yuvmin, you lead the way. Cuiyan, you take the middle path."
