Shangguan Ruoli walked in the mountain forest in high spirits, followed by snow-white Yinxue, and behind Yinxue were a dozen fat and strong gray wolves.

This scene is really shocking.

Zhao Tiesheng even suspected that Shangguan Ruoli was a demon in the mountains, so he walked closely side by side with her, fearing that the wolves would pounce on him.

They rushed along the stream and reached the entrance of a cave, where they were blocked.

The cave is half a person high, and the stream flows out of the cave with rapid water flow.

Shangguan Ruoli took a branch and tested the depth of the water, "It's not deep, about one and a half meters."

Zhang Tiesheng said: "The inside of the cave may not be so shallow, it may be deeper. The inside of the cave may also be narrower, and it may not be possible to pass through."

Look at the sky. If we go over the mountain, it might be dark.

And over the mountain, you will find Xianxia Mountain.

The mountains and forests at night will be more dangerous, not to mention the current situation. Not only will there be wild beasts, but there will also be people who are more dangerous than the wild beasts.

Shangguan Ruoli said: "We can't go over the mountain, we will be discovered easily."

The people from Xianxia Palace must have placed secret sentries near Xianxia Mountain. They are not familiar with the situation, so it would be bad if they were tricked.

But if you dive in from the stream, not only will it be difficult to be discovered, but there will also be no formation mechanisms in the water.

At this time, Zhang Tiesheng pointed to the turbulent stream and said: "Look, there is something in it."

Sure enough, Shangguan Ruoli saw something floating in the stream. He fished it out with a branch and picked up a bunch of internal organs.

Zhang Tiesheng said: "It's the intestines of a pheasant. Someone should be processing the prey by the stream."

"Let's go into the cave and have a look." Shangguan Ruoli tore off the strips of cloth from his clothes and began to tie up his trouser legs and sleeves.

You can't take off your clothes, you can only try to reduce resistance as much as possible.

"Let's take a look?" Zhang Tiesheng looked like you were stupid and frowned: "It's dark inside the cave. You can't see anything when you go in. The stream is so fast that I'm afraid the torch won't be able to light it."

Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows arrogantly, took out two luminous pearls from nowhere, and threw one at him, "I'm ready."

Since she had gone into the mountains to investigate the situation, she naturally had to be well prepared. In this era, there were no flashlights or emergency lights, so she had to use night pearls instead.

Luminous pearls are rare treasures, not to mention the size of a quail egg.

This was the first time for Zhang Tiesheng to see Ye Mingzhu, and he played with it in surprise.

Shangguan Ruoli explained: "This is a luminous pearl. Hold it in your hand or bite it in your mouth to illuminate it."

Zhang Tiesheng was slightly startled, "This luminous pearl is too precious. What if I lose it?"

"If you lose it, just throw it away. If you can't lose it, it's yours." After saying that, Shangguan Ruoli used a thick branch as a walking stick and jumped into the stream.

Although it is in the south, the weather is still very hot, but it is already early autumn, and the streams in the mountains are very cold.

Shangguan Ruoli trembled and walked inside holding on to the stone wall of the cave.

The further you go, the darker it gets, and the luminous pearl comes into play.

Zhao Tiesheng held a dagger in one hand and inserted it into the stone wall to prevent it from being washed down by the turbulent stream, and held up a luminous pearl for illumination in the other hand.

The stream became deeper and deeper, and gradually disappeared above the head.

Shangguan Ruoli and Zhao Tiesheng both knew how to swim, so they drowned and went upstream.

Of course, the secret guards were following closely behind. Shangguan Ruoli knew about it, but Zhao Tiesheng couldn't find it.

He grabbed a stone tightly, raised his head out of the water, and gasped: "Little brother, the hole in front is too small. We may not be able to breathe. I don't know how long such a hole is. If it is too long, we may have an accident."

Shangguan Ruoli also knew it, but she could hold her breath and breathe underwater, so she could hold on for a while longer than the average person.

Besides, the stream is fast and if you can't hold on, you can just let go and the stream will wash you back, which is quick and effortless.

"I will hold my breath, and you go back. I will walk forward a little further and come back if I can't." Shangguan Ruoli insisted. If she left late and something happened to Qu Xiaohan, she would be very sad.

It has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women. After all, he was someone the original owner once liked and helped her a lot.

Zhang Tiesheng and Shangguan Ruoli met unexpectedly, and of course he didn't want to risk his life to accompany her. However, he could only hold his breath underwater for a short time, and he couldn't hold on for long in this turbulent stream.

So, he said: "Okay, be careful. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the cave."

Shangguan Ruoli nodded, took a deep breath, and dived into the water.

Zhang Tiesheng did not go back. He looked up at the top of the cave, found a place where someone could sit, and climbed up.

Put the luminous pearl in your mouth, take off your clothes and wring it dry.

But his eyes were always looking at the stream, so that Shangguan Ruoli could be rushed out so that he could help him immediately.

But I saw a few black shadows flashing past the bottom of the water, swimming upstream.

With a serious look on his face, he took out the luminous pearl from his mouth and shined it on the water, only to see a wolf head.

He blinked in surprise, these wolves were really extremely loyal.

At this time, those black figures had already merged with Shangguan Ruoli, supporting each other and swimming upstream.

Fortunately, although the inside of the cave is narrow, the cave walls are uneven, and there are gaps between the collision of streams, so Shangguan Ruoli and the others have a chance to breathe.

After sneaking for about an hour, the entrance of the cave slowly opened up.

If an ordinary person really couldn't sneak for such a long time, it's no wonder that the enemy didn't take precautions against the stream.

The cave is getting wider and wider, and there is already an open space beside the stream.

There was a rumbling sound of water, and it sounded like there should be a waterfall outside.

Shangguan Ruoli and his men climbed out of the stream. They were shivered by the cold wind at the entrance of the cave and continued walking upstream along the current.

But he found a white shadow jumping out of the water.

Yinxue jumped out of the water, shook the water off her body, and picked up Shangguan Ruoli and several secret guards.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen gray wolves emerged from the stream and quickly jumped onto the shore.

Yinxue raised her head proudly and was about to let out a wolf howl.

"Shh..." Shangguan Ruoli immediately issued a silent warning and pinched Yinxue's mouth with his hand.

The crowd and the wolves continued to move forward. Gradually, the cave turned into a huge cave. There were many caves in the cave, crisscrossing them, making it easy to get lost.

I could see a faint light, and the sound of rumbling water was even louder.

"There's someone ahead!" An Yi warned.

This is the most powerful secret guard around Dongming Ziyu, and his martial arts skills are higher than those of Shangguan Ruoli.

Shangguan Ruoli paused, made a gesture, then pressed his breath against the cave wall and walked forward.

Gradually I smelled the smell of roasting food and saw the light of the fire.

Because the sound of the waterfall outside was deafening, no one heard anyone approaching.

Shangguan Ruoli walked to the hole with the fire and looked inside.

There were about twenty people inside, sitting around several fires, drinking wine and eating meat.

Behind them was a stalactite pillar, and a man covered in blood and scarred was tied to the stone pillar.

His messy hair was hanging on his face, and the blood stains and messy hair made it difficult to see his face clearly. He was tightly tied to the stalactite with an iron chain as thick as two fingers, and could not move at all.
