Chapter 247 How to choose
Chu Xinglan and the other person walked for less than a quarter of an hour before they arrived in front of the cave.
Even though it is now bright outside, looking from the outside, one can only see the dark cave entrance, without any trace of human beings.
Chu Xinglan tilted his head and moved his ears, but heard no sound. It seemed that this restriction had sealed everything.
He raised his free hand and reached forward tentatively, but sure enough, he encountered an obstacle at the entrance of the cave and could not move forward any further.
When the little dumpling saw the place, he knew it was his time to work, so he moved quickly and tried to get off Chu Xinglan's body.
"It's right here. Brother, wait here. I'll bring the person out."
Chu Xinglan did not let her go, but instead held her tighter.
Seeing the little dumpling looking at him in confusion, he said, "Can you take me in?"
"Those people don't know you, and I'm afraid they will hurt you."
"Tuanzi, take me in. I'll tell them that if anyone doesn't want to leave, we don't have to worry about it."
Chu Xinglan certainly believed that there were no fools here, and no one would be willing to wait for death in there given the chance to get out.
He wanted to go in. On the one hand, he was curious about how Tuanzi could bring people in and out. On the other hand, he was simply worried about little Tuanzi.
It’s not that I’m afraid that those people will hurt Little Dumpling. Although the iron-eating beast is cute, its fighting power is at the top of the food chain, especially the little girl’s cultivation is not weak.
But human hearts are always complicated. Since he has become the girl's brother, he doesn't want her to come into contact with so many humans at once.
You could say he was worrying too much or that too much is as bad as too little, but since she was the sister Chu Xinglan recognized, he hoped that the little girl would remain innocent and cute at least at this stage, and not realize the complexity of human nature too early.
Even if there might be his fellow disciples or even allies there.
Tuanzi didn't have any objection. Seeing that he wanted to go in, she hugged his neck tightly.
"Then let's go."
Chu Xinglan raised his eyebrows and had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't ask anything and walked towards the cave without hesitation.
When he walked to the entrance of the cave, Chu Xinglan felt an obstruction, but the next second, he saw the little ball stretching out a small hand, and then the obstacle in front of him disappeared.
Chu Xinglan held her and walked in smoothly.
He only felt a flash before his eyes, and the scene in the cave was completely revealed before his eyes.
The cave doesn't look big, about two meters high and one and a half meters wide. It would be a bit crowded for two people to walk side by side.
However, he was not sure how deep the cave was. He did not see anyone or hear any human voice at the entrance of the cave.
The little dumpling twitched his nose and raised his little hand to point forward: "They are inside."
Chu Xinglan separated a ball of spiritual fire that floated in front of the two of them to illuminate the area, and then walked carefully inside.
Deep in the cave, in a huge open space, dozens of people were sitting crowded together on the ground, and each of them looked in a disheveled state.
Suddenly, a disciple wearing the Cangqiong Mountain disciple uniform who was standing near the outside moved his ears and spoke with some caution.
"It seems like someone is coming."
Because of long-term lack of water, the voice is dry and hoarse, and the voice is not loud.
But the people sitting around him still heard it and looked at him.
One of the young men laughed bitterly, "Did you hear wrong? Those black robes locked us up here to let us fend for ourselves."
"The restriction at the entrance of the cave is to block our way of survival. How could anyone else be able to get in?"
Another person thought of something and said in despair, "Others can't come in, but the black-robed man can definitely come in. They're not here to kill us, are they?"
"If you can just kill me, it will be a relief. I've had enough of this kind of life."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire open space suddenly became quiet again. The atmosphere of despair spread, and even the light in the eyes dimmed.
During these days, they have thought about saving themselves, but each time they have failed.
In order to break the restriction, several disciples were even injured. Even if they got out, their path of cultivation would be cut off.
As for the sect sending people to rescue them, they had certainly thought about it, and even looked forward to it every day and every moment.
But after the men in black robes threw them in here, they told them proudly.
They have already set up a tight net, and this time they will definitely deal a heavy blow to their master, causing their familiar and close brothers and sisters to die here with them.
No one could find them, and no one could save them.
Although these captured disciples may not be very outstanding in the sect, there are still some smart ones among them.
They quickly deduced that they were being used as bait.
At that moment, they themselves couldn't explain their feelings. No one didn't want to live, but if the price was to sacrifice more brothers and sisters, they didn't know what to choose.
However, the bloody skeletons in the corner may represent the choices of some people.
A female disciple from Yuehua Palace, her face was covered in dirt, her hair was messy, and her skirt was torn, but over her skirt she was wearing a blue-gray monk's robe.
She swallowed and subconsciously wrapped her monk's robe around her because of nervousness.
"I think this might be an opportunity. Let's not talk about whether it's our senior brothers and sisters. If it's really the person in black robe, he won't be so quiet."
"Besides, those guys haven't come back yet."
When those people were mentioned, the female disciple shrank back, pursed her lips and continued, "They won't have the courage to confront the black-robed man."
The eyes of several disciples from Cangqiong Mountain lit up when they heard this.
"That's right. As long as they are not the men in black robes, now that someone can come in, they can definitely get out."
The others also cheered up a little at this time and spoke at once.
"So what do we do now? Get out?"
"But those guys are still blocking us outside. If they knew we wanted to escape, they would definitely not agree."
"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, can't we beat a few of them?"
"It was because you guys were cowardly that they were so unscrupulous."
Seeing that the crowd was about to start quarreling and their voices were getting louder, the disciples of Cangqiong Mountain quickly stepped forward to maintain order.
"Keep your voices down. Do you want to lure those guys back now?"
Everyone then shut their mouths in dissatisfaction and indignation, and one of them asked in a harsh tone.
"Then what do you want to do now?"
The disciple from Cangqiong Mountain and the monk from Hanshan Temple looked at each other and saw determination and murderous intent in each other's eyes, and they became more determined in their hearts.
“Everyone who wants to take a chance, let’s go together.”
"If you run into those guys, give it a try. Life or death is determined by fate."
