Chapter 269 Escape
"Why?"
"Because there are many dangers near the exit and there are ancient relics guards, when I entered here, I had already reached the divine realm of cultivation, but even so, I still couldn't break through its defense line and ended up with the current outcome. For more than ten years, I had already given up on the idea of escaping."
A powerful person in the divine realm?
Jiang Lai was shocked. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was actually a powerful man in the divine realm!
For a moment, his expression seemed a little solemn, and even the powerful man in the divine realm could not escape, so wouldn’t his chance be even slim? Although he asked himself that his strength was not weak, he was still slightly lacking compared to the powerful man in the divine realm.
After a moment of silence, seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, Zhao He slowly said, "Come with me, I'll take you to a safe place first."
Following the other party, the two passed through a passage and walked for about tens of meters. Jiang Lai saw a huge rock in the passage. When Zhao He moved the huge rock away, a hole immediately appeared behind him.
The area behind the cave entrance is not very large, only more than twenty square meters, which is very simple, without even a decent bed. At a glance, Jiang Lai's attention was immediately attracted by a painting on the wall.
To be precise, this is not a painting, but the lines engraved by Zhao He on it, which are curved and hundreds of them. He walked closer, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what is this?"
"Over the years, I have searched all the channels around me and then drawn them into a map. All you see now is the map on the second floor."
“Second floor?”
"That's right!" Zhao He nodded, "It's about 30 meters deep from the ground, and it's divided into two layers. Our location is on the second floor, and the exit you are looking for is on the first floor, which is the real dangerous place. Even I dare not break in."
Speaking of this, he pointed to the map on the wall, "The information on the second floor is relatively complete. In addition to the route, I have marked out some dangerous places on the map. If you want to go out and take a walk, it is best to write it down so that something will happen."
"Mr. Zhao, since it is only more than 30 meters deep here, why don't you dig a passage directly to leave? With your strength, it shouldn't take long."
"Hmph! Do you think I've never thought of this method? The beast is very smart. Once you make too much noise, it will immediately attract its attention. The reason why I have survived over the years is because I have been avoiding it. If it is encountered, I will definitely die." After that, Zhao He walked to the corner of the wall and sat down slowly, "I'm going to rest, you can do it yourself."
Looking at Zhao He who was closing his eyes and entering into meditation, Jiang Lai frowned slightly. The other party seemed to have become accustomed to such a life and had long given up the hope of escaping. However, he didn't want to die in this ghost place.
At that moment, he stood in front of the wall and looked at the map carefully. After about half an hour, he finally barely remembered the content of the map. If it weren't for the lack of battery in the phone, he wouldn't have done this and just take a photo.
Seeing that Zhao He had not woken up yet, Jiang Lai did not disturb him and left the stone chamber alone.
Because of the help of that map, Jiang Lai no longer ran around like a headless fly. He turned around along the passage and followed the map's guidance and soon arrived at the entrance to the first floor.
This is a slope, only more than ten meters long, but Jiang Lai stood in front of the passage and did not move forward for a long time.
On the mountain walls on both sides of the slope, there are dense holes everywhere, just like hornet's nests. If someone with dense phobia, he probably won't even dare to look at them.
Because he was not sure what dangers he would encounter before, Jiang Lai did not dare to step forward easily. If he encountered dangers he could not cope with, wouldn’t that be done?
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Lai picked up a stone on the ground, and his wrist shook, and the stone immediately flew out. When the stone passed through the middle of the passage, a afterimage suddenly flashed, and then the stone disappeared instantly.
All this happened too quickly. With Jianglai's strength, he could not capture the afterimage. However, the only thing he could be sure of was that the afterimage came from the hole next to him.
He took a deep breath in his mouth. In this ghost place, there were all kinds of terrible things.
"Boy, don't waste your energy. As long as you dare to take a step forward, you will definitely die."
Hearing Zhao He's familiar voice coming from behind, Jiang Lai turned around and looked at the person who came, "Mr. Zhao, is there no way to do it?"
"There is no way." Zhao He pondered for a while and said, "A few years ago, I ventured into the first floor and found a crack there. Unfortunately, because of my body, I couldn't get into that crack. If it were you, it might be possible. But you have to know that the road to that crack is full of dangers, and it would be difficult to get there alive. If I hadn't been my life, I would have explained it to me."
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I want to try it out, and I can't stay here and wait for death."
"Okay! Since you are determined to seek death, I won't stop you." After a pause, Zhao He took out a stone slab the size of a palm and threw it into Jiang Lai's hand. "The route above can guide you directly to that crack. Judging from the fate of your and I, I will remind you that when you reach the first floor, try not to make any noise."
"knew!"
"By the way, apply this on your body."
After taking the bottle thrown by Zhao He, Jiang Lai opened the cap and sniffed it. A strong smell of blood mixed with foul smell came to his face. He subconsciously turned his head and dispelled the smell with his hands.
"What's this?"
"There are many strange creatures in this place, which are fierce and cruel by nature, but they are incompatible with each other. If you apply this blood on your body, it will make other creatures feel afraid and dare not approach you casually. However, its effect is only aimed at some creatures, so you cannot take it lightly."
Jiang Lai's eyes lit up, this was a good thing.
"Mr. Zhao, thank you! If I can leave alive, I will definitely tell you the people of the Zhao family and let them find a way to rescue you."
After saying that, he poured out the blood from the bottle, applied it to his clothes, and then strode towards the passage on the first floor.
Although Zhao He had guaranteed, Jiang Lai did not dare to be careless and took every step carefully. After passing through the passage more than ten meters long, he saw that there was no reaction in his eyes on the caves on the mountain walls on both sides. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled gratefully at Zhao He.
"Mr. Zhao, then I'll leave first."
"be safe!"
Jiang Lai nodded, no longer wasting time, and rushed straight to the location where the crack was.
(For Chinese people, it will be a new year after zero. I wish you a happy New Year, good health and all the best in advance.)
