Chapter 17 Out of War
Bai Ya flew down, but there was a garlic mix under his feet, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Brother... how are you?" Xiao Mantou stepped forward to support him and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, go quickly!" Bai Ya's face was covered with sweat, and he waved weakly.
"Take him away first, and I will leave it here to me." Old Butler Meng smiled at the few people and walked towards the entrance of the tunnel with his hands behind his back.
With the help of Baiya, they shocked the ape group in a short time. They successfully met with the Meng family and retreated into a narrow tunnel. However, the ape group still did not give up. Although Hu Wei had been wandering at the entrance of the tunnel, it was only a matter of time before they broke in.
Several disciples of the Meng family looked at Bai Ya curiously. They already knew that he was not a treasure hunter, but now that foreign enemies are around him, it is not time to find the bottom of the situation, so they have to endure it for the time being.
"Go and help Mr. Meng." Bai Ya lifted the Yin corpse and raised his chin.
Bai Tong's eyes flashed and she turned around and walked towards the entrance of the tunnel. Old Butler Meng seemed not surprised when he saw her coming, but just nodded.
"Jiji~"
At this time, the apes wandering at the entrance of the tunnel could no longer hold back, and several of them rushed in tentatively.
However, they just ran far away and fell down, covering their throats, with a black sleeve arrow on them.
"Don't worry, wait for them to come in and then block the tunnel." Old Butler Meng saw Bai Tong beside him, and immediately smiled and pressed his hand.
The divine light flashed in the silver corpse's eyes and became quiet.
Her intelligence is not as good as an adult, roughly equivalent to a human child in her teens, but like all newborn cubs, she has a very strong learning ability and is greatly influenced by the people around her.
Bai Ya herself is a person who often reflects on and learns lessons, so the silver corpse connected to Bai Ya's soul also has this characteristic, allowing her to accept the advice of the old housekeeper Meng.
But they were patient, which did not mean that there were also cave apes. Soon, these ape-shaped beasts attacked under the urging of two magic apes. The strongest and most fierce group of them, about twenty battle apes, rushed into the tunnel entrance first.
"It's almost done, let's do it!"
Old Butler Meng flipped his right hand and a thin blade was added between his index finger and middle finger.
This blade is only three inches long and only one finger wide. It is crescent-shaped. It is like a rippling pool of crystal water in the dark tunnel. Bai Tong does not understand the quality of the magic weapon, but it instinctively senses the danger of this blade and only feels the pores on its body stand up.
"Go~" Old Butler Meng shook his hand and threw out the blade. In the darkness, a silver line flew up and down, drawing a wonderful line pattern.
Instead of aiming at the war ape at the entrance of the tunnel, it just slid on the rock wall of the tunnel. For a moment, countless gravels were dripping, as if there was a sudden addition of a cement truck that was pouring at the entrance of the tunnel.
"Hu~" Bai Tong's eyes emitted a divine light, his right hand was on top and his left hand was on bottom, as if the giant python with a big mouth was slowly closing with difficulty.
"Rumbling~" With its movement, two stone doors slowly "grown" out of the rock top and ground at the entrance of the tunnel, as if two stone gates were closing, just cutting off the retreat of the more than 20 battle apes.
The powerful innate ability of the zombies in the underground world made the old housekeeper Meng next to him secretly surprised and looked at Bai Tong a few more times.
"Boom~" The stone gates at the entrance of the tunnel finally closed together, and the more than 20 war apes that broke in front were all buried in the pile of gravels.
Of course, these war apes may not have died yet, but when they struggled again, Bai Ya and others would go far.
"It seems to be fine..."
Seeing that Old Butler Meng and Bai Tong quickly turned around, everyone who was rushing to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Jiu, those beasts will not catch up with you again, right?" Meng Chen asked worriedly.
"It's hard to say that with their number, it will be quick to clear the blocked tunnel entrance. Whether you will chase after it depends on whether this area is not within their territory." Old Butler Meng replied indifferently, "I know you are all tired, but it's better to speed up the evacuation."
After hearing the words of Old Butler Meng, everyone's relaxed mood was raised again, and their feet couldn't help but get a little faster.
"Meng Jiu, the servant of the Meng family, I don't know how to call the young hero?"
After the tense situation eased slightly, Old Butler Meng finally brought Meng Jian to Baiya with him.
"I was in Baiya, Xiaqingcheng, and I was unable to express my identity before. I hope you can forgive me!" Baiya bowed his fists and bowed.
"It's okay, when you go out, you must be careful of others. We can understand." Meng Jiu happily mentioned it and asked cautiously, "However, Qingcheng has not been less than hundreds of thousands of miles from this. Is Bai Shaoxia coming here to travel or do a mission?"
"When I heard the legend of the ninety-nine consecutive docks on the way, I couldn't help but come in and take a look." Bai Ya explained half-truely.
Meng Jiu and Meng Jian looked at each other and believed most of them. Bai Ya said it seemed perfunctory to others, but they knew that this was in line with the fact that the sect's children were traveling abroad.
As long as Bai Ya is really a disciple of Qingcheng, it would be nothing even if he was allowed to enter the Sebi Corpse Secret Realm. Because of distance, Qingcheng would never be able to compete with the Xianwu Sect behind the Meng family for this secret realm.
However, they did not believe all of Bai Ya's words, because there was little possibility of coming here to do tasks or traveling. Qingcheng would not be assured to let a rookie in the swordsmanship go so far, even if he had a silver corpse guardian beside him.
However, Meng Jiu and Meng Jian were unwilling to go to the bottom of the matter. As long as Bai Ya's identity is fine, no matter what he wants to do next, it will not hinder the Meng family.
"The visitor is a guest, and my Meng family is also a landlord in Bingzhou. If Young Master Bai doesn't dislike it, he might as well follow me and take care of each other this time." Meng Jiu invited him with a smile.
"Okay, I'll bother you all." Bai Ya agreed with a smile. He had seen the danger of underground docks. If he was surrounded by those apes alone before, it would be hard to say the result.
"This is the guide I met at Chaoge... Little Mantou!" Bai Ya forced the little Mantou who was huddled behind him and introduced it to the two people in the Meng family.
"Little Mantou?" Meng Jianwei frowned and stopped paying attention. Instead, Meng Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at the cramped little girl.
"Senior, what are our plans next? Should we continue to explore, or go back to the base to rest?" After getting to know each other again, Bai Ya asked about the important matter.
Their group lost three companions, which was quite large in proportion. If it were a secular army, morale would have collapsed.
In fact, except for Meng Jiu, Meng Jian and Bai Ya, the others in the team were in a very bad mental state, and even if they had physical strength, they should not continue to explore.
According to convention, the treasure hunter team who encounters such troubles will choose to pause the exploration first, then return to the big cave a few days ago, rest there, and then gather a large number of people to clean up the group of cave apes here.
This not only allows you to make a passageway, but also obtain a large number of precious beast corpses. This is the most common harvest in Lianwu, Zhongchang.
But the Meng family was not concerned with the beast materials on the ape. Their main purpose was to find the Sebi Corpse Secret Realm. Stop now means wasting a lot of time again.
Now there are more than one martial arts family underground, so they naturally have to race against time.
"What do you say about the remaining two guides?" Meng Jiu pondered for a moment, turned to ask Meng Chen beside him.
"They are willing to move on, but they ask to find a safe place to rest."
Meng Chen's answer was unexpected. Putting aside Bai Ya and Xiao Mantou, Zhao Yi and Ouyang were willing to continue moving forward regardless of the danger.
In fact, the Meng family and Bai Ya both underestimated these real treasure hunters. If they were afraid of death, why would they choose to take risks in such a deep underground?
Compared to death, they are more afraid of being betrayed underground. The Meng family and Bai Ya's performance just now made Zhao Yi feel that he would not be discarded at will, so naturally there is nothing to say.
He came to the underground door, and he was just a search for money by keeping his head on his belt. Now someone is protecting him, and he has another share of the benefits on the road, so why should he withdraw?
Will you definitely not be in danger again when you come in again next time?
"Very good, then we will continue." Meng Jiu said with a chuckling, "But we won't go the previous route anymore, let's turn to... Here, there is another team of people sent by the Meng family on that route."
Bai Ya nodded secretly without realizing it. The old world is the old world, and he is just right in size.
...
After they set out on the road again, they didn't see the ape behind them again for the next two days. It seemed that these wild beasts would not chase after them.
"The savage man named Bai~~"
On this day, Bai Ya was resting in the tent, but Xiao Mantou burst into the fire with his eyes spitting out and gritting his teeth.
"What's the matter with such anger? Little Mantou!" Bai Ya asked in surprise.
"I'm still calling Xiao Mantou... Sa's family is fighting with you!" Xiao Mantou pounced on him with his teeth and claws, hanging on Bai Ya like a koala, opened his mouth, bared his shiny white teeth and bit Bai Ya's shoulder.
"Oh~It hurts so much!"
Then, she covered her mouth and squatted. Bai Ya's meat was not so easy to chew, it was no worse than iron stone.
"Hahaha!" Bai Ya couldn't help but be amused by her, holding her belly and laughing so hard that she turned back and forth.
"Little Mantou, what are you doing? Do you want to loosen your teeth if you think they are too neatly grown?"
"You... this bad guy, if you call me Xiao Mantou, you will fight with you." Xiao Mantou covered her cheeks, her mouth was unclear, and her eyes were full of tears. However, she was not wronged, but... a toothache!
"Why, isn't Xiao Mantou a very cute nickname... OK, okay, okay, don't talk if you don't say it, put the knife down first..."
Bai Ya couldn't help laughing. He knew why Xiao Mantou was furious.
In the past few days, Xiao Mantou has become familiar with the disciples of the Meng family. Because she has been hiding her identity, she calls herself Xiao Mantou to the public.
The boys of the Meng family heard that the nickname was Baiya, and they saw that Xiao Mantou had a flat breast, but they didn't know the meaning of the word. After these boys endured it for two days, they were finally seen through by Xiao Mantou once.
They always stare at other people's breasts, and even the little steamed buns will realize that they are no longer dull. Thinking of the little buns in the soup that Zhao Di breakfast shop was a bite, not much bigger than her thumb, how could she not know that she had been making fun of Bai Ya.
"Hey, who told you to keep your identity hidden? You can't blame someone!" Bai Ya said quietly.
Xiao Mantou couldn't help but feel silent when he heard this.
