Zhu Tianlei hugged Xiao Ma for a long time before Xiao Ma's mood stabilized.
Doing the math, Xiaoma has been imprisoned here for at least half a month.
Let alone a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, even a burly man would probably be emotionally disturbed.
"Xiao Ma, how were you brought here, do you remember?"
Zhu Tianlei found this place by smashing a hole in the roof of Qiandu Cave, but Xiao Ma definitely didn't get in this way.
"It seems that he came in from a tunnel in the Piaomiao Peak Restaurant."
Is the restaurant authentic?
Zhu Tianlei frowned slightly. This place is almost two or three kilometers away from Piaomiao Peak. Who could actually open such a long tunnel in Kunlun Mountain?
Most of the Kunlun Mountains are made of very hard granite. Not to mention manual excavation, even blasting with explosives. Such a large project will take a long time. The most important thing is, why spend so much effort to build a tunnel?
Where is the tunnel leading to Thousand Poison Cave?
"Xiao Ma, how is your strength? Can you walk?"
Zhu Tianlei planned to explore this cave, and his intuition told him that this cave must have secrets.
"Yes, except that I can't go out, everything else is fine. I eat and drink well."
After saying that, Xiaoma clenched her fists.
"That's good, let's take a look at this cave with my brother."
Zhu Tianlei scratched the tip of Xiaoma's nose lovingly.
"Brother, I remember when I came in, there was a red stone at the entrance of the cave that was very similar in shape to a rooster."
Xiaoma followed Zhu Tianlei around the cave twice, but there was no other exit except the place where Zhu Tianlei entered before.
"Then do you remember that there are such things as secret tunnels?"
"No, I just came in directly."
Xiao Ma shook her head.
That's strange. If it's like what Xiao Ma said, there's no hidden secret passage. How could he not get out?
Not just anyone could smash the hole on the top of Qiandu Cave Mountain, and he didn't believe that the White Jade Fox would use such a method.
"Forget it, come back when you have time, go back first."
Originally it was just curiosity, so Zhu Tianlei didn't want to waste too much time.
"All right!"
Xiao Ma was a little disappointed and felt that she was useless and couldn't help Zhu Tianlei.
But just when Zhu Tianlei and Xiao Ma were about to leave, Xiao Ma suddenly screamed.
"Brother, my feet..."
Zhu Tianlei looked down and found that Xiao Ma's feet were stuck in a dark green sticky substance that looked like mud.
Zhu Tianlei squatted down and wanted to pull out Xiaoma's foot, but he found that the thing that looked like mud was thicker than glue. He did not dare to use too much force, so he could only handle it carefully and patiently.
"Brother, there is something inside, there is something."
Xiao Ma quickly spoke up again.
Zhu Tianlei stretched out his hand, touched back and forth where Xiaoma said, and touched a round thing. He pulled the thing out of the green sticky stuff with force, and then something strange happened.
The originally shining stones in the cave suddenly lost their luster, and the entire cave became dark.
"Brother, my legs can move."
So magical?
Not only that, the cave that originally had no exit suddenly blew in a gust of wind. Only when it was connected to the outside could the wind blow in.
Zhu Tianlei glanced at Xiao Ma's feet. The green sticky stuff disappeared, and what he was holding in his hand seemed to be an egg.
No matter what, let's go out through the hole first.
Zhu Tianlei took Xiaoma's hand and looked in the direction where the wind was blowing. Soon, he found the exit.
Obviously it didn't exist before.
"Brother, this is the stone."
Xiaoma pointed to a stone next to her and said to Zhu Tianlei.
Zhu Tianlei hummed. It didn't matter whether it was the stone or not. His intuition told him that the secret of the cave should be what he just got.
Zhu Tianlei and Xiao Ma were walking in the cave one after the other.
Although the air in the cave was a bit humid, it was not difficult to walk. After about twenty minutes, a door appeared in front of the two people.
Zhu Tianlei asked Xiao Ma to stay back, and he pulled the door open with a strong pull.
Outside is actually the kitchen.
The location of the door is underneath the cutting board console.
"Young Master? Ancestor Xiaoma?"
At this time, it was time to cook. A dozen people in the kitchen, including the head chef, saw the two ancestors of Piaomiao Peak crawling out from under the cooking table where they were cutting vegetables. Everyone opened their mouths.
"You guys keep busy."
Zhu Tianlei was very calm, and so was Xiao Ma, but when he came out of the kitchen, Xiao Ma had a chicken drumstick in his hand.
Zhu Tianlei felt a little helpless. This girl was really big-hearted. She had been imprisoned for so many days, but she still hadn't gotten rid of her greedy nature.
"Brother, I'm a little hungry."
Xiao Ma smiled, opened her mouth and took a big bite of the chicken leg, and then handed the chicken drumstick to Zhu Tianlei's eyes. She clearly remembered that her brother ate seven or eight roast chickens in one meal!
"Forget it, you can keep it to eat. Go back to your room to take a shower and change clothes. Brother has something else to do and I'll see you later."
Zhu Tianlei is indeed in trouble. Previously, because Xiao Ma's whereabouts were unknown, he was worried about doing other things first. Now that Xiao Ma is back, the things he wants to deal with must be dealt with.
...
In the hall, although Lan Ying's body had been carried away, the smell of blood was still there.
Zhu Tianlei asked someone to call Lancer into the hall.
Of course, there are no secrets in Piaomiao Peak. After all, everyone is a descendant of the Lan family, and they are all relatives. Moreover, something happened just before, something closely related to everyone, and all eyes fell on Lanse.
As for the body, now the young master has people call Lanse into the hall. It is difficult for these children of the Lan family to not care.
"Young Master."
Lancer became the taciturn and even somewhat honest person again.
"Chief Protector, I called you here to discuss with you the future development direction of Piaomiao Peak."
Zhu Tianlei was still calm, but there was no sense of anger or sarcasm.
"The development of Piaomiao Peak is a matter decided by the young master, and subordinates dare not overstep it."
Lancer lowered his head.
"The Chief Protector is wrong to say that. Piaomiao Peak is the clan of the Lan family. The Lan family has been in the same line with the Ling family from ancient times to the present. It can even be said that without the protection of the Lan family, there would be no Piaomiao Peak.
Today, the Chief Protector not only has this right, but also has this responsibility."
What Zhu Tianlei said was righteous and sincere.
But Lancer still lowered his head, and the arrogance he had in the hall before was gone, as if he was a completely different person.
"My subordinates dare not."
"If I ask you to say it, just say it. This is for the good of Piaomiao Peak, and also for the good of the Ling family and the Lan family. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhu Tianlei still persisted.
"Young Master, then your subordinate is outspoken?"
"Well, no matter what it is, you can say it." (To be continued)
