In addition, the sudden intervention of the four members of the "Shura Society" also brought considerable variables to this "plan".

Not only did it break Mr. Hong's original plan to "lure the enemy deeper", but it also almost affected the arrangements made by Mr. Gu and Nangong Juque.

In the view of the two of them, the reason why Hong Buer remained hidden was that he was waiting for an opportunity, and also because he was afraid of the defense system of the "special training base".

If the other party wants to take away Chen Yuan under heavy official siege, it is obvious that they will not adopt an overly radical approach.

Based on this speculation, the strategy adopted by Hong Buer and others can only be "luring".

Based on this, Mr. Gu and Nangong Jique immediately formulated corresponding strategies.

First, arrange for the students to participate in the trial normally to create the illusion of "everything is business as usual" for Hong Buer and others.

Then send official warriors to keep an eye on Luo Cha and others. Once the opponent starts to take action against Chen Yuan, they will immediately follow it closely. Finally, they will close the net in the opponent's lair and kill all the people of the "Shadow" organization.

But no one expected that in the middle of the execution of the plan, a group of four people from the "Shura Society" would suddenly appear.

Not only did he break into the "special training venue" without permission, he also once threatened the personal safety of the students.

If Nangong Jique hadn't noticed it in time and led the team back to the "research center", the consequences would have been disastrous.

Thinking of this, Mr. Gu was still a little frightened. He raised his turbid eyes, looked at Chen Yuan, and said with emotion: "When I learned that you were kidnapped by the four killers, I happened to be nearby. Fortunately, they didn't do anything to you.

Otherwise, I don’t know how to explain to your parents if you return to Linjiang."

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how will they know?"

Chen Yuan curled up his lips and said with a smile: "So... when I was kidnapped by those four people, you had already disguised yourself as an 'orc hunter' and infiltrated Luo Cha's team?"

"That's right," Mr. Gu said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the cloak I was wearing was a big help. I followed them all the way and no one noticed anything unusual. When I took off my hood, those people were stunned.

I even forgot to fight back."

"Is it useful to fight back in front of you?" Chen Yuan complimented calmly.

Mr. Gu smiled and shook his head, sighing: "I'm getting older. If you hadn't pushed me just now, I'm afraid the old man would have been injured by that man's gun. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. When your generation truly grows up, we will

These old guys can finally retire."

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and did not answer.

He knew in his heart that when talking about this kind of topic, "no answer" is the best answer.

Mr. Gu turned his head slightly, looked at the wooden house behind him, and sighed to himself, "This storm has finally come to an end. Hong Buer and others were arrested, and the 'Shadow' organization will probably be dormant for a long time. In another week,

Linjiang University is about to start school, so you should take a few days to rest and prepare for the rest of your university career."

"College career..." Upon hearing these four words, Chen Yuan's eyes were filled with fascination.

For him, who was born in a slum, "going to college" is undoubtedly one of his biggest goals in the first half of his life.

To achieve this goal, during his three years of high school, he put in ten times the effort and persistence of ordinary people, and experienced hardships and challenges that ordinary people could not imagine.

Now that his goal has finally been achieved and the university is within easy reach, he can't help but feel excited.

Mr. Gu put his hands on his back and said slowly: "The road to martial arts is long and difficult. High school is the 'enlightenment stage' of martial arts. You learn the most basic knowledge of martial arts, such as the induction of spiritual power, the use of spiritual power, and elementary practical combat."

Only when you get to university can you truly ‘enter the world’.”

"There, you will see a new world of martial arts that you have never been exposed to before. You will also have an understanding of the development of global martial arts, the severe situations faced by warriors, the formation and changes of ancient martial arts systems, and the mission and responsibilities of contemporary warriors.

A whole new understanding.”

Having said this, he raised his head, looked directly at Chen Yuan, and said calmly: "As a newbie in martial arts, only after four years of experience and study in college can he grow into a qualified martial artist faster. You

Your starting point may be higher than others, but when you get to university, everyone is on the same starting line, and you are no exception. If you stop moving forward because you are satisfied with the status quo, you will be easily surpassed by others. The old saying goes: 'Sail against the current'

, If you don’t advance, you will retreat. I hope you will keep these eight words in mind and don’t forget your original intention of setting foot in martial arts.”

“Sail against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat…”

Chen Yuan repeated it several times in a low voice. After a moment, his eyes darkened, he nodded heavily and said, "Mr. Gu, I remember."

Mr. Gu smiled and nodded, his eyes full of expectation.

At this moment, an official warrior wearing a standard combat uniform ran up from behind, saluted Mr. Gu, and said, "Dean Gu, we found a secret passage under the wooden house."

"Secret passage?" Mr. Gu frowned slightly and said, "Where did you find it?"

"It's just under the partition of the wooden bed," the warrior said. "The search team is already waiting at the entrance of the secret passage. Captain Fang asked me to ask you for instructions. Do you want to launch a further search?"

"No need to ask for permission, I'll go down with you to have a look," Mr. Gu said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The warrior responded loudly, and at the same time took a step back to make way for Mr. Gu.

"You come too," Mr. Gu said to Chen Yuandan.

"Me?" Chen Yuan pointed at himself.

"You will have to come into contact with these things sooner or later. It's better to see the world in advance." Mr. Gu said calmly.

"I understand." Chen Yuan's eyes darkened and he nodded.

Following Mr. Gu, they walked towards the wooden house together.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning.

The temperature in the valley dropped and there was a chill everywhere.

Chen Yuan and others walked into the wooden house and immediately saw several search team members waiting beside the wooden bed.

At this moment, the bamboo mats and partitions on the wooden bed had been removed, revealing a dark entrance.

A man with thick eyebrows who looked a little older came forward, saluted Mr. Gu, and said slightly apologetically: "I'm sorry, but I have to trouble you to go there in person."

"Captain Fang, you're welcome," Mr. Gu waved his hand, glanced at the "black hole" and asked, "Have you sent anyone down there?"

"I sent two people down, but they came up quickly." Captain Fang said matter-of-factly.

"Did you find anything?" Mr. Gu asked.

Captain Fang replied, "We didn't get the order, so we just briefly searched the perimeter. We didn't find anything special for the time being."

"Let's go and take a look." Mr. Gu nodded, took steps, and walked straight to the secret passage.

Captain Fang became anxious when he saw it. He quickly blocked the front and said with a smile: "Dean Gu... you'd better not go down there. Hong Buer is a cunning and insidious person. I don't know what kind of mechanism he will set up in the secret passage. You just have to

If you need to issue an order and conduct a search, just leave it to us."

"It doesn't matter," Mr. Gu said with a smile: "When I was a search team member, you didn't know where I was.

.”

After saying that, he bypassed Captain Fang and continued walking towards the secret passage.

Seeing that Mr. Gu insisted on going down the secret passage to search, Captain Fang had nothing to do with him.

Four search teams were immediately arranged to guard Mr. Gu with searchlights in hand.

He followed with several other team members, using instruments to detect the surrounding environment to prevent accidents.

Chen Yuan followed Mr. Gu at a short distance and entered the secret passage together.

Under the illumination of the searchlight, you can see the general situation around the secret passage.

This secret passage is two meters high and about 1.8 meters wide, barely enough for three people to pass at the same time.

Underfoot are wet stone steps. Each step is roughly equal in width, with green moss growing on the edges. It extends downward from the secret passage under the wooden bed, with no end visible at a glance.

The group of people walked down for more than ten minutes before finally finishing the stairs.

Captain Fang gave an order, and several search team members immediately switched their searchlights to "panoramic illumination mode."

For a moment, the light of several psychic searchlights suddenly brightened, and the surrounding scene immediately became clear.

Only then did Chen Yuan realize that he was in a cramped corridor.

Everyone continued to move forward, passed through the corridor, and came to a stainless steel door with an iron lock on the bolt.

Mr. Gu signaled everyone to take a few steps back and stepped forward.

He poured spiritual power into the palm of his hand and slapped the iron lock suddenly. The iron lock broke and fell to the ground with a "dang" sound, sending out a series of long echoes.

"...Is it so violent?"

Seeing Mr. Gu unlocking the door with his bare hands, the search team members holding professional unlocking tools all burst into laughter.

At this moment, there was a "Gah" sound and Mr. Gu had opened the iron door.

Several search team members immediately filed in, and in an instant, bright yellow lights filled the entire space.

"This...this is..."

Chen Yuan walked into the iron gate and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Several search team members also stopped, with looks of shock on their faces.

In front of me, there is a huge underground "cell".

Around the cell, there are iron cages made of fine steel. Most of the cage doors are open to the outside, and there is nothing inside. In the corners of the iron cages, there are empty feeding troughs, with some remaining food in the troughs.

The smell of rotten flesh full of maggots is so fishy that it makes you nauseous.

Mr. Gu borrowed a searchlight from a search team member and walked to an iron cage.

After carefully observing the inside of the cage, he reached out and twirled a few strands of hair on the ground. His face darkened, his lips opened and closed, and he said slowly: "It's a monster."

Hearing Mr. Gu's words, everyone present felt a chill go down their spines.

Captain Fang stammered and asked: "Gu...Dean Gu, what do you mean by this? You said...all the people in this cage are...all monsters?"

"Yes." Mr. Gu's face became more solemn and he said in a deep voice: "If I guessed correctly, this 'cage' is the secret place where the 'Shadow' organization raises monster beasts."

"Raising monsters?!" Upon hearing these four words, everyone was instantly confused.

They never imagined that such an astonishing secret was hidden under this inconspicuous cabin.
