2996 A safe house? _1
“Sir, should we go in and take a look?”
Looking at the locked door, a cultivator asked tentatively. He felt that there should be a secret behind the door.
Tang Zhen stared at the metal lock and considered whether he should open it.
Perhaps there was a chance of survival behind the chains, but he needed to have the courage to try.
everyone, get ready. If the situation doesn’t look right, we’ll immediately attack.
Tang Zhen looked at the cultivator beside him and reminded him in a deep voice.
“I know.”
When they heard this warning, the cultivators had already realized that Tang Zhen was about to open the iron lock.
They scattered behind Tang Zhen and vigilantly observed their surroundings, wary of any danger that might appear.
Tang Zhen walked to the front of the door. He took out a strangely shaped key and gently inserted it.
“Crack!”
With a crisp sound, the iron lock was opened and fell to the ground.
Just as he had expected, any lock could be opened with this key.
However, after the lock was opened, the key would suddenly break and could no longer be used.
Each key could only open one lock.
With a gentle push, the heavy iron door slowly opened. The room was dark and cold.
“Your Excellency, what’s in the room?”
A cultivator asked in a low voice. He looked nervous and curious as he looked into the room.
Tang Zhen shook his head. He was also unable to see clearly and was unable to answer.
The iron lock had been unlocked, so he had to go in and take a look, even if it would be risky.
At this moment, the five cultivators were already eager to try.
don’t rush in. I have something here that we can throw in to explore the way.
As Tang Zhen spoke, he took out a bottle that contained the explosives that he had previously prepared.
He took out the match he had made earlier, lit the fuse of the bomb, and threw it into the house.
“BOOM!”
A muffled sound was heard, followed by a shrill scream, which shocked the cultivators.
The house behind the door was indeed filled with hidden dangers.
Who would have expected that at this moment, Tang Zhen would actually carry the bronze oars and directly rush into the house.
“Quick, let’s go in too!”
The five cultivators came back to their senses and rushed in without any hesitation.
When he entered the house, he realized that it was not as dark as he had imagined. Or rather, the darkness had already shrunk and dissipated.
A monster was lying in front of Tang Zhen. That ink-like darkness was shrinking into its body like hair.
The darkness that enveloped the room was actually a part of the monster. If he entered rashly, he might be controlled by the monster and attacked.
Fortunately, the monster had been killed, and the original hidden danger had been completely eliminated.
“Throw it out, it’s best to burn it.”
Tang Zhen sized up the interior of the house and said without turning his head.
The two cultivators dragged the monster’s corpse and threw it somewhere else. They waved the bronze oars and chopped it into pieces.
He threw a fire over and set the monster on fire, causing thick smoke to spread out.
Your Excellency, the monster’s body has been dealt with. What should we do next? ”
Five cultivators stood at the door, waiting for Tang Zhen’s order.
“There’s something I need to do immediately. The faster, the better.”
Tang Zhen turned his head and looked at the five cultivators as he spoke in an indifferent tone.
“Sir, please give us your orders. As long as it’s within our means, we will do our best.”
Because of the previous misunderstanding, the five cultivators placed all their hopes on Tang Zhen. They believed that he could help everyone get out of this crisis.
“I want you to go back the way you came, find the roasted meat you just came across, and then bring it to this room.
Remember, no matter what happens, don’t pay attention to it. Without my request, don’t eat other food.
If you can do it, then immediately take action. The time left for us is getting less and less, and I reckon that danger will come soon.”
Upon hearing Tang Zhen’s request, the five cultivators immediately turned around and rushed back the way they came.
Regardless of the purpose of Tang Zhen’s order, they must immediately execute it.
Since they had chosen to follow Tang Zhen, they had to learn to obey the arrangements. If they were to resist the orders, they would definitely lose the qualifications to continue cooperating.
When they came, they advanced step by step, but when they returned, they were much faster. After all, Tang Zhen had said that time was tight.
It didn’t take long for the cultivators to arrive at the place where they saw roasted meat.
When they saw that the charcoal was still burning and the roasted meat had been placed back in place, the cultivators ‘eyes were full of vigilance.
The food that had suddenly appeared in front of him was indeed not something good. If he had eaten it at that time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
There was no time to exclaim. The five cultivators rushed forward and took all the roasted meat in their hands.
The moment they picked up the roast meat, they could immediately feel as if a pair of eyes were watching them in the dark.
“Hurry up and run!”
With a low roar, the five cultivators holding the roasted meat turned and ran without hesitation.
Just as they were running away, an extremely angry roar came from the dark corner behind them.
A ghostly figure as thin as a bamboo pole ran out of the darkness and followed closely behind the five cultivators.
The five cultivators increased their speed again when they saw the slender ghostly figure that had suddenly appeared. They were afraid that the monster would catch up to them.
It didn’t take long for the cultivators to rush to the front of the house. Then, they saw Tang Zhen holding a bronze oar and standing motionlessly at the door.
Sir, we’ve got the food, but there are monsters chasing us.
One of the cultivators shouted while holding a piece of roasted meat in his arms.
“Don’t worry about it, hurry up and go inside!”
Tang Zhen had already seen the ghostly figure that was as slender as a bamboo pole behind him. His expression did not change as he urged the cultivators to enter the house.
After waiting for the five cultivators to enter, Tang Zhen followed closely behind and entered the house. Then, he closed the door with a “clang” sound.
The metal bolt dropped down and the door was completely sealed, leaving only a small opening to observe the situation outside.
The moment the door closed, there was a sudden muffled sound of a collision, followed by an angry howl.
The monster’s howls were filled with unwillingness, as if its most precious thing had been snatched away by five cultivators.
“It’s just a pile of roasted meat, why is this monster so angry?”
Hearing the shrill roars outside, the cultivators were puzzled. They couldn’t understand why the monster was so crazy.
Perhaps the pile of roasted meat was not as simple as he thought and was very important to the monster?
Tang Zhen stood guard at the door. He allowed the monster to madly knock on the door, but there was no response.
After about three minutes, the knocking suddenly stopped, and there was dead silence outside the door.
The five cultivators were silent as they quietly looked at Tang Zhen.
“The reason why I asked you to retrieve the roasted meat is so that when we are at the end of our rope, we can use this roasted meat to maintain our lives.
Even if there are hidden dangers after eating it, you have to bear the risk.”
The five cultivators gently nodded. Even if Tang Zhen didn’t say anything, they could already guess a little.
Tang Zhen’s intention was very obvious. After the monsters were eliminated, they could slowly wait in this room.
If the remaining food was used up, the roasted meat would be used as backup food. If one wanted to live, they had to eat these problematic things.
If they could survive until the destination, it would be considered a victory.
As for the life and death of the other cultivators, when they chose to split up, it no longer had anything to do with them.
