The entrance to the Lost Valley is very different from the one Ning Gu had passed through before. It opens into a cave hall with only a tunnel leading to another place.
This cave hall is very small and not as lively as the last time. There are no trading huts around, no cargo owners walking around with things, and no various items piled on the ground. There are only a few people in tattered clothes sitting scattered in a corner.
When they heard someone coming in, these people didn't react at all. They lowered their heads and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
However, compared to the last entrance, this time there is only one tunnel, and there is no danger of taking the wrong path. It is impossible that this entrance has only one tunnel, leading to darkness from which one can never return.
…What if it’s true
Ning Gu hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Lian Chuan behind him and said, "You go ahead."
"Follow me," Lian Chuan said without further ado, walking towards the tunnel. "You can't run away."
"Then you are too confident," Ning Gu said, "I have run away several times."
Lian Chuan ignored him and walked into the tunnel.
Ning Gu did not follow immediately. He stood at the entrance of the tunnel looking at Lian Chuan's back. After making sure that he was not "lost", he followed him in.
He had no idea what it was like to be lost.
However, Lianchuan walked very steadily and seemed no different from his previous state. It seemed not very accurate to say that the hyenas and city guards did not dare to enter the Lost Valley and would be doomed if they did.
The tunnel was very long and stretched straight forward. Ning Gu felt tired of walking and finally heard noisy voices coming from the front.
"Someone's here," he said.
Lian Chuan grabbed his arm, pulled him forward and pushed him over.
"Stop touching me all the time!" Ning Gu was very unhappy and shook his arms twice.
Faced with Lian Chuan's speed that left people no time to react to any of his actions, he regretted asking Lian Chuan to follow him as a bodyguard.
Just run away!
I can't afford to lose this person!
When the noisy sound in front of him came closer and could be heard clearly, Ning Gu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
There is also a cave hall at this end of the tunnel, which is much larger than the previous one. It is similar to the trading hall I saw when I came here last time, but its function is obviously different.
The huge cave hall was packed with people of all kinds. Even bats could be seen in several modified and popular styles that had never been seen before. There were also groups of people huddled together and it was hard to tell whether they were homeless people or travelers.
Although the styles are different, the emotions of all people are the same.
Facing the middle, he let out an excited roar.
In the middle of the cave hall, there is a large platform more than one person high, on which there are two…
Ning Gu couldn't come up with a name for this thing, but he knew that these were two bats, but they were not the same as ordinary bats.
Compared to those bats whose bodies have been partially modified, these two should be considered reconstructed.
There were wounds all over his body, and between all the wounds were metal frames.
Two metal racks are ready to go.
People around were waving their arms and shouting to cheer, and many of them were holding things in their hands, such as cards and items...
This is the bet they are taking.
The metal shelf didn't react at all to the chaos around it, it just stared at each other.
The "referee" who hung himself on the ceiling of the cave with an iron cage took an iron rod and knocked on the ceiling of the cave several times. The harsh sound of the metal collision caused a burst of screams and shouts. The metal racks on the platform jumped up at the same time and crashed into each other in the air.
This is the rumored "show" at the Bat Entertainment Store.
Lian Chuan took a quick look and couldn't bear to look any further. Just when he was about to go through any tunnel to find a place with fewer people, he suddenly found that Ning Gu was gone.
He frowned.
He actually let him run away
Lian Chuan couldn't quite believe it. He had never experienced anything like this before. The target had escaped right under his nose.
He pinched his eyebrows gently. Had he been affected by something in the Lost Valley without realizing it
Ning Gu saw two travelers in front of him, carrying bags in their hands, probably preparing to trade.
He chased after him: "Which way should we go to trade?"
A traveler turned around and said, "Ning Gu? Weren't you locked up in the bell tower by the captain?"
This person was not in the same carriage with Ning Gu when he came to the main city, and Ning Gu was almost overwhelmed by the same questions along the way.
"It's out," he answered in unison, "Tell me quickly."
"In front, the passage on the left," the traveler said, a little worried, "Aren't you following anyone? Are you going by yourself?"
"I'm not afraid of anything." Ning Gu ran towards the passage.
He was still afraid, but he was not afraid of taking the wrong path. Travelers would not betray their own people at such times. What he was afraid of was that Lian Chuan would catch up with him. After all, this man was like a phantom, and he could always reach places you could not imagine at a time you could not imagine.
As soon as he ran to the entrance of the passage, Ning Gu saw two figures inside.
It was a bat, and it was the person he met last time, the Nine-Winged Black Ring Team that Li Xiang mentioned.
What luck!
Without any hesitation, Ning Gu turned around and ran back.
Sure enough, the two men caught up immediately.
And the speed was very fast. When Ning Gu just returned to the tunnel leading to the bat fighting area, the footsteps behind him felt like they were sticking to the back of his head.
He was about to take a flash bomb out of his pocket when he looked up and saw Lian Chuan standing in the middle of the tunnel.
"Hurry!" He didn't care whether he could afford to lose this person or not, "I'll..."
Before he could finish his words, Lian Chuan had already passed by him. When Ning Gu turned around in shock, the two black rings had already fallen to the ground.
"Dead?" Ning Gu asked.
Lian Chuan didn't say anything, but walked up to him step by step. This time his speed was normal, but the words he said made Ning Gu feel a chill on his back.
"If you run again," Lian Chuan looked at him, "you'll go lie down with them."
"Who did it!" Jiu Yi jumped up from the metal pillar and waved his arms wildly in the air. Metal spikes extended from his ten fingertips, flashing cold light and drawing out silver light bands with whistling sounds.
When he landed, he punched the ground near his feet, and all five spikes in his right hand pierced into the ground.
"Who is it?" Jiuyi stood up slowly and looked at Shouxi who came back to report the news.
"I didn't see it. Black Ring asked me to tell you that the two brothers were killed with one blow," Suki frowned, "No weapon was used. They shot directly through the heart."
Jiu Yi turned his head sharply: "One strike?"
"That's what I said." Suki nodded.
Jiu Yi was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter rising from low to high, from hoarse to sharp, revealing his undisguised excitement and madness.
"It's most likely him," Jiuyi said as he walked around in a circle, "I never expected that the strongest hyena in the main city would enter the Lost Valley."
"Lianchuan?" Suki asked in surprise.
"It's not uncommon for a single unarmed strike to be fatal. As far as I know, Lei Yu, Long Biao, and Li Liang are all capable of doing it, but two at the same time," Jiu Yi pinched his chin excitedly, and suddenly raised his voice and roared, "It's still my black ring!"
After yelling, he immediately put on a smile: "Then it can only be Lian Chuan."
Suki also laughed uncontrollably, "Lianchuan!"
"Go," Jiuyi waved his hand at him, "Tell Heijie and your other brothers that no matter why Lianchuan is here, capture him first."
"How do we catch it?" Suki asked.
"Catch him at your own risk!" Jiu Yi roared, and raised his head to look upwards, "Don't be afraid, as long as the poet wakes up, he will be affected, and it will not be difficult to catch him... Don't you want to see the strongest bat transformed from the strongest hyena?"
"Think about—" Suki jumped up and down on the spot, his voice trembling.
"Then go!" Jiu Yi roared.
Ning Gu walked forward quickly. The direction pointed by his travel companion was correct. When he passed through the last passage, he saw a familiar scene. The cave hall in front of him was the place where Hammer took him last time.
He didn't even have time to look around before he was forced out of the Lost Valley by a roar from Huang Huayan...
Yellow eyes!
When he thought of this person, Ning Gu quickly lowered his head and dodged to a passage nearby. When Lian Chuan followed him, he explained, "I have an enemy here."
Lian Chuan didn't say anything.
Ning Gu doesn't talk much usually, but among the travelers there is no one like Lian Chuan. Everyone is lively and bustling, fighting, swearing, running away, and even dying are lively.
Now facing Lian Chuan like this, he really couldn't get used to it. After looking at Lian Chuan, he didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked forward, ready to take Lian Chuan to the small cave house that Li Xiang had taken him to that day.
He didn't dare to enter other empty houses because who knew if there was an ambush.
"Let's wait here for a while," Ning Gu entered the house. There was no one in the house. It was still the same as before, empty. He leaned against the wall of the cave and looked at Lian Chuan, "Now we have to live in peace and set up rules..."
Lian Chuan stood in front of him and looked at him silently.
Ning Gu discovered that this person usually did nothing else except his mission, so he looked at everyone as if they were his mission target, with no concealment at all, and he would stare at you to death if he said he would.
He pulled up his collar to cover half of his face: "Let's exchange the purpose of coming here first."
"Catch you." Lian Chuan replied.
"Okay," Ning Gu paused, "I'm here..."
"It's none of my business." Lian Chuan said.
Ning Gu swore that as long as he could survive today, he would use all his abilities even if he died, and then beat Lian Chuan up.
"Whatever." He leaned against the wall of the cave, then slid down and sat on the ground.
Lian Chuan stood there without moving.
The two of them sat and stood in silence for several minutes. Ning Gu couldn't stand it anymore. What's wrong with this guy? He might as well go out and find Huang Huayan for a fight.
Just as he was about to get up, Lian Chuan suddenly staggered.
There was something wrong with this shaking. It wasn't the kind of shaking that made one want to move or walk, but more like... being unable to stand steadily.
He raised his head and looked at Lianchuan.
But he suddenly noticed that the red light in this small cave was slowly dimming.
"Get out quickly!" Ning Gu reacted immediately.
Regardless of whether the poet was made up by Li Xiang to deceive him, there is definitely something wrong where the light disappears.
He jumped up from the ground and rushed out.
After he stopped, he realized that even with Lian Chuan's speed, he still couldn't arrive before him.
Looking back, Lian Chuan was still standing there.
"Come out!" Ning Gu was a little anxious, and lowered his voice, "Lian Chuan!"
Lian Chuan in the room turned his head to look at him, then suddenly fell backwards.
Then he fell heavily to the ground without any struggle.
Ning Gu stood outside the door in a daze.
