Chapter 227 The Monster Attacks Again
"I thought Brother Fang and Brother Li were close friends, but it turns out they are also very close to Brother Afei."
Lu Jianchi, who was standing to the side, joked.
Li Lianhua and Wu You stepped inside first. When they reached Fang Duobing's side, Wu You deliberately stopped to tease him.
"You two have great chemistry."
“Keep it up,” Li Lianhua added.
Nanfeng, who was following behind Wu You, also chimed in with, "Keep it up!"
Nanfeng: I didn't want to say this, but I always feel that if I don't keep up with the group, I will fall behind.
Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng exchanged a glance before quickly looking away.
"I'm not familiar with him," Di Feisheng said, distancing himself from the situation.
"I'm not familiar with it either." Fang Duobing said before stepping into the hidden door.
Lu Jianchi watched as the others entered the hidden door, feeling that the atmosphere was strange. Had he said something wrong? But after thinking about it, he still didn't feel that anything was amiss.
The hidden door leads to a man-made passage that looks quite old and can accommodate three or four people walking side by side.
The passageway wasn't dark; it was illuminated by candles on the walls, indicating that the place was managed. However, there weren't many candles, and it was barely enough to see the way.
After walking around the passage for about ten minutes, the group discovered a pattern that was both unfamiliar and familiar to some.
"Suiyan? Nanyin?"
"It seems this is another secret hideout for the Nan Yin people."
Of the group, only Lu Jianchi was unfamiliar with the pattern, but now was not the time to discuss it.
The group continued walking and soon discovered a headless female mummy covered in dust, suggesting it had been there for a long time.
Just then, a stool flew from a distance and crashed straight into the group.
"Be careful."
Fang Duobing drew his sword and slashed down, instantly shattering the flying stool into pieces.
But behind the shattered stool, a monster and its long fingernails attacked.
Fang Duobing didn't have time to swing his sword a second time, so he bent over and used the sword to support himself on the ground to dodge the monster's attack.
Knowing that these monsters feared fire, Lu Jianchi picked up his torch and used it as a sword to attack the monsters.
However, the monster reacted quickly, leaping to the side to dodge the torch attack. Seeing that its attack had failed, it quickly fled the area.
"It's the same monster from before."
“I feel like I’ve seen this monster somewhere before.” Lu Jianchi had just approached the monster with a torch and had a closer look.
After Lu Jianchi finished speaking, he hurriedly chased after the monster, but unexpectedly stepped on a mechanism on the ground. At the same time, a jar above Lu Jianchi's head tilted instantly, and liquid seemed to pour out of it.
"Get out of there quickly, you can't touch anything in there."
Wu You hurriedly shouted, "I was just about to tell everyone not to wander around or touch things randomly, but before I could say it, Lu Jianchi rushed out in a hurry."
At this critical moment, Wu You quickly flew a long piece of cloth from his sleeve and used his internal energy to try to drag Lu Jianchi away from that spot.
At the same time, he tightly gripped Li Lianhua with his other hand, afraid that his strength would be insufficient to pull Lu Jianchi over, and that he himself would be dragged over by Lu Jianchi's strength instead.
Wu You had prepared this long piece of cloth long ago; its function is somewhat similar to the water sleeves of Xiaolongnu in martial arts dramas.
However, Wu You had no idea where she had hidden such a large piece of cloth on her person. She figured she had kept it in her spatial storage. Otherwise, carrying so much with her every day would be difficult, not to mention how she could move around as lightly as a swallow.
