Chapter 652: Chapter 652: Life and Death in Two Days and Two Nights (Part 9)
He held his nerves taut within him, refusing to overlook the slightest movent from the surroundings.
Suddenly, a rustling sound ca from deep within the cave, almost breaking his tightly held nerve. He quickly pulled YingEr whom he had grabbed earlier and hid behind a large rock.
A mont later, the flickering of a torch and vague voices erged from within the cave.
It was the voices of the two vagabond brothers!
A glimr of joy filled Old Man Li’s heart. They had finally returned.
“Big brother, how much longer do we have to go? We could have escaped already, why did we have to turn back and get him? I hope that ungrateful wretch doesn’t backstab us…”
Jiang Xiaocai’s complaints ca in waves.
“Shut up! Little brother, how many tis do I have to say it, Uncle Li has helped us a lot. We agreed to share the glory and the disgrace, how can we abandon him? You must not say these words again. Understand?”
Jiang Dacai reprimanded him.
Old Man Li smirked to himself for quite so ti. How naive they were to think they could pull off a play in front of him!
However, at present, he had to bow his head due to circumstances.
Feigning ignorance toward their conversation, he instead yelled out inquisitively, “Who’s there? Who’s over there? Co out!”
“It’s us, Uncle Li! We bring great news!”
Jiang Dacai cheerfully said, “We’ve found the exit of the cave. We can leave directly from the cave. Follow quickly!”
These words filled Old Man Li with great joy!
“Is that really true? Hahaha…. Big Brother, I knew you were my lucky stars! This is wonderful!”
“We are all in the sa boat. We can’t abandon any of us, right? Let’s get going!” Jiang Dacai urged on eagerly.
“Wait! Before we leave, I have to give them a big gift! Hahaha…”
Old Man Li laughed wildly.
Outside the cave, everyone gradually closed in on the entrance from all directions.
Although Old Man Li had set up many traps along the way, they posed no threat to Di Yelei as he continued to advance step by step towards the cave.
Suddenly, a thunderous noise resounded from the entrance of the cave.
Everyone looked up, only to see countless rocks tumbling down from the entrance of the cave, falling overwhelmingly towards the people below.
“There’s trouble! Move out of the way quickly!”
Di Yelei roared and dodged the rocks rolling down from the cave. However, the brother who stood a short distance away seed stunned with wide eyes, forgetting to move.
“Move!”
Di Yelei roared again, disregarding everything else, he leaped and smacked the incoming rock with his palm.
The rock deviated by a few inches due to his slap, narrowly missing the stunned brother.
Screams rang out imdiately, so were hit while others managed to dodge. However, due to the falling rocks, all the n who were hiding in the woods had revealed themselves.
This infuriated Di Yelei even more. These villains were utterly ruthless!
“Charge! Do not let a single one escape!”
Once the falling rocks cald down a bit, everyone used their special abilities to close in on the entrance of the cave. The traps at the entrance were already discovered by the brothers earlier, so they did not cause any casualties.
The cave entrance had already collapsed by a large part, seemingly rging with the surrounding rocks.
At the top of the cave, Zhang Peng gestured from a distance, Di Yelei nodded his head, made a sign to everyone, then silently rushed towards the cave. People from all sides fluttered over, but the cave was dead silent, with no noise coming from inside.
Everyone carefully removed the mud blocking the cave opening and dug out an entrance just big enough for one person to go in and out.
Di Yelei took the lead and went in. He quickly moved inside the cave, looking around, it was utterly quiet with no one in sight.
“Your Honor, there’s no one. The people inside have already escaped!”
The brothers who followed up inside also searched around for a while and quickly ca back to report.
“Your Honor, the brothers have found sothing!” Soone found a worn-out hemp sack and quickly brought it to Di Yelei.
There were blood stains all over the hemp sack, tattered, one can imagine how much sufferings the person inside the sack had gone through!
Seeing this worn-out sack, everyone’s heart gradually sank.
“How is it? How is it? YingEr…”
Zhang Peng and Zhang Yun and Xuan’er also rushed in, naturally they did not see anyone.
Di Yelei didn’t speak but just passed the sack into their hands.
“We were too late. It seems that they went deep into the mountain cave. They must have blown up the cave and then ran directly with YingEr along the cave!”
“Why are you still standing there? Didn’t we just agreed that they led YingEr deep into the cave? We should chase them quickly!”
Zhang Yun was about to charge forward and Di Xuan imdiately followed.
“Hold on! YunEr and XuanEr, stay here.”
Di Yelei casually grabbed and held onto Xuan’er’s collar: “Several brothers were injured by falling rocks earlier. You two stay here, responsible for moving the injured brothers to a nearby location down the mountain for care. Also, get a few doctors ready as backup, understand?”
Di Xuan stubbornly struggled: “No! I won’t stay, I want to go in and save YingEr…”
“Enough! When are you going to grow up? When are you going to be sensible!”
Di Yelei violently pulled and threw Di Xuan far away, reprimanding him loudly: “Don’t think I don’t know what you have been doing secretly! Just think about why YingEr is in trouble!”
Di Xuan was stunned there, not moving for quite a while.
“Let’s go!”
After saying that, he didn’t talk any further, gestured to the people behind him, then went into the depths of the cave.
“Dad, I also want to go…” Zhang Yun looked anxious and determined.
Zhang Peng and Zhang Yun looked at each other, then without saying a word, they followed into the cave and pursued along the cave. Zhang Yun was overjoyed! He glanced at Di Xuan next to him and hurriedly followed up.
“Who here is familiar with the terrain of this cave? Hurry up and follow!”
Then people started following into the depths of the cave.
In the depths of the cave, Jiang Dacai was leading the way with a torch and also killing any poisonous snakes he saw along the way, clearing any dangers on the path.
It has to be said that Jiang Dacai was quite skilled; poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders, leeches, etc., died wherever his dagger in hand passed.
Jiang Xiaocai was carrying YingEr and walking in the middle, while Old Man Li was limping behind. Seeing Jiang Dacai’s movents in front, he beca even more alert.
“Hurry up! You’re so slow, do you want to be caught by the people behind?”
Jiang Xiaocai had been grumbling all the way, he was displeased with Old Man Li no matter how he looked, ordering him around.
