Chapter 227: Underground Space(1/2)
Bai Mo noticed something was wrong as early as when a large number of people left the market - the change in the number of people in the market was abnormal.
Although many people are leaving through the tree branch tunnel, the number of people in the market is decreasing at a strange rate, which is faster than normal.
In other words...under the cover of the leaving crowd, someone is disappearing unknowingly.
Hearing Bai Mo's words, a fierce light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the man in black under the mask. A dagger slipped out of his wide sleeves and fell into the palm of his hand. The blade was pitch black.
But he couldn't hide the fact that it was sharp and stabbed Bai Mo's chest hard.
His attack was too sudden, beyond everyone's expectations. No one reacted for a moment, and the speed was astonishingly fast. Like a bullet coming out of the barrel, the sharp tip of the knife touched Bai Mo's left chest almost in an instant.
.
Zhang Rouzhu covered her mouth,
But he was unable to stop it, so he closed his eyes subconsciously, unable to bear to see the tragic scene that followed.
"Click."
The expected scream did not sound, she only heard a muffled groan and a crisp sound - the latter sounded like the sound of a broken bone.
Opening his eyes in confusion, Bai Mo saw that not only was Bai Mo unscathed, but he held the man in black's dagger across his chest with one hand, performing a wave of bare-handed catching!
It has to be said that Bai Mo's timing to catch the dagger was too dangerous, because even if it were one second later, the sharp dagger would have pierced his heart and claimed his life.
However, Bai Mo was terrifyingly calm. The moment he took the dagger, he twisted it with his backhand. His reaction was so fast that the man in black didn't even have a chance to throw away the dagger before his wrist was broken by the sudden force.
However, the man in black was not an ordinary person. Even when his wrist was broken, he did not scream at all. He just grunted, took the dropped dagger with his other hand, and then quickly distanced himself from Bai Mo.
Looked at the other person carefully.
The battle between the two broke out instantly, taking place between lightning and flint. Due to the cover of the wide black robe, many people did not see the dagger in the black man's hand. In addition, there was no strange sound, so few people paid attention.
The movement here——
Even those who noticed it only watched from a distance and did not dare to step forward, lest they get into trouble.
In the buffer zone, it is dangerous to meddle.
But Bai Mo could clearly sense that many people were quietly approaching this place, and they seemed to be planning to surround them, most likely they were the men of the guy opposite.
The talisman stall owner realized something was wrong early on, quickly put away the cart, and sneaked towards the tree branch tunnel.
He obviously didn't want to wade into this muddy water, and he didn't even bother to ask about the way to survive that Bai Mo said. He just wanted to get away from this trouble as quickly as possible and live one day at a time.
"You are a master."
The man in black stared at Bai Mo opposite him for a long time,
He said in a cold tone,
"So we won't let you get out of here alive."
"But we have no grievances." Bai Mo said calmly.
What kind of master is he now? It's just that his arm strength has been strengthened by the hand vines.
Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the strength to catch the dagger just now.
The other party is obviously an extraordinary person, probably around C level. An extraordinary person of this level does not even pay attention to thermal weapons. If they really want to fight, he will not get any benefits now.
But he showed no timidity at all, secretly gesturing to the Zhang Tao brothers and sisters to stay calm and not show fear.
Neither of them were fools. They quickly suppressed their panic and pretended to be calm. Since everyone was wearing black robes, no one could see their expressions.
"You know our secret, so you deserve to die." The man in black said coldly.
As he spoke, the "we" in his mouth had already moved closer. There were about six or seven people, most of whom were extraordinary, and they quietly blocked all escape routes for these people.
The talisman stall owner was complaining in his heart, because he was forced back by several people before he could leave. It seemed that these guys regarded him and the kid as a group and were unwilling to let him leave.
But the problem is...this guy’s nonsense is none of my business?
Although he didn't know what the boy just said to the man in black, but thinking about his own experience, he was afraid that the boy knew some ulterior secret of the other party... and he managed to tell it without hesitation.
Bah!
Calling you a fucking big-tailed wolf! You even got me into trouble! He kept yelling in his heart.
Seeing that something was wrong, the other melon-eaters around them realized something was wrong and hurriedly fled. The man in black and others did not stop them and allowed them to leave.
When the situation was tense, Bai Mo remained calm: "Aren't you curious why I know your secret?"
"Not curious."
The man in black waved his hand and motioned for everyone to take action together. Obviously, keeping the secret of the grassland was the most important thing to him, and everything else didn't matter.
"Were the seeds of this meadow brought from the dark forest?"
At this moment, the other party's calm voice sounded again. Although he was asking, his tone was extremely determined.
The man in black was shocked, but he still had no intention of stopping everyone from taking action.
However, the next second, the other party's words caused his expression to change instantly——
"As far as I know, this kind of grass seed cannot be planted in the soil. It can only grow when it takes root in flesh and blood... So, do you plan to continue to let this seed grow?" Bai Mo said with a half-smile.
"stop!"
This sentence seemed to have some magic power, making the man in black stunned for a moment. After regaining his senses, he quickly stopped everyone's actions with a loud voice.
Perhaps because he was too excited, his speaking speed couldn't help but speed up a bit, and it took him a long time to calm down.
"You know...you know what we are facing?" He took a deep breath, and his voice became less gloomy.
"What do you think?"
Bai Mo was noncommittal, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
The man in black seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, he recovered his thoughts and asked hesitantly: "Then do you know what the solution is?"
In fact, he was afraid to ask this question because he was afraid of getting a negative answer.
All of his subordinates couldn't help but hold their breath, as if they were looking forward to Bai Mo's answer.
Bai Mo was silent for a long time, he hesitated to speak, as if he didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, the man in black felt his heart sink.
It seems that no one still knows...
However, just when he was disappointed, he heard the other party's calm voice.
"It's just a way. Isn't this a very difficult thing?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent for an instant.
The man in black was stunned for a moment, then felt ecstatic.
What this guy means is...
The talisman stall owner sighed in his heart, this guy is more pretentious than me - but in this way, if the other person is really so knowledgeable, then he may really know how to keep himself alive.
…
His mind suddenly became more active.
Although Zhang Tao and Zhang Rouzhu didn't know the reason, they had a tacit understanding and didn't speak, keeping the questions in their hearts.
After a brief excitement, the man in black calmed down. While playing with the dagger in his hand, he said: "Since you know our predicament, I won't say much - I need a solution to the problem, and you are the last one."
So that I can be responsible for my words."
"sure."
The man in black spoke slowly: "If you can really help us, we will naturally repay you, so you can rest assured."
"I never thought about repaying you," Bai Mo said lightly.
"Oh."
The man in black sneered with unknown meaning, and then said, "In that case, you can stay here tonight."
"Live there?"
"This place is so big, you can live wherever you want."
Hearing this, Zhang Tao's brother and sister and the talisman stall owner looked blank at first, and then they seemed to realize something at the same time, and their hearts were horrified——
To be continued...
