Chapter 353: Weird old man
Ye Zhongming squatted behind a hill and observed the valley.
This was where the E-cup Latin woman who sneak attacked him brought him to.
Not far from the mountain, this woman led him through a weird route to arrive there two hours later.
This side of the mountain was far more lively than the other side. At least he could see some plants. He touched the dirt here, and the stabbing pain was much reduced. It was obvious that the soil here was less toxic.
But the plants here were different from those on Earth. Most of them had either a greyish or purple color. Who knew if it was because of the light or the soil?
The valley wasn’t big, and there were entrances at the front and back of it. A few trees that he had never seen before were scattered around.
But he couldn’t see any humans or buildings.
The woman behind was tied up, and her mouth was covered. She tried to say some words. Her leather armor was now back on her body. Ye Zhongming wasn’t someone who would torture others like this.
He glanced at the few pieces of soil that were worked on and was thinking about something.
This was the reason why Ye Zhongming didn’t kill this woman.
The Latin woman continued to mumble. Ye Zhongming thought about it and helped her up. He let her walk in front of himself and grabbed the string tied to her arm.
She led the way into the valley. Looking at her movement, there wasn’t any trap. She walked towards a slope of the valley.
“Wu wu en en...”
She turned back to look at Ye Zhongming. She used her head to signal him to head to a place.
Even if she didn’t do that, Ye Zhongming had already seen some things.
The dirt here was different from those around.
Ye Zhongming could naturally see through such methods of deception. These weren’t very outstanding. At least compared to those in his last life, they weren’t very good.
He told the woman to open it while he waited warily on the side.
The woman didn’t hesitate to remove the top layer to reveal a rusty metal door.
This was the first technology thing that Ye Zhongming had seen since he entered. At least there was a lock that made use of some gear theories.
She did an action to Ye Zhongming, which he understood to be her, asking if she should open the door.
Ye Zhongming nodded, and she pulled the metal door open to reveal a dark passage.
The Secret Realm was different from Earth. Ye Zhongming had no advantage here, so he was very careful. He glanced at the tunnel and took out a few fluorescent rods, which he broke and tossed in.
These things made the girl’s eyes light up, and she even wanted to look closely.
Ye Zhongming pointed at her and told her not to move.
There wasn’t anything weird in the tunnel. Using the light, one could see some pieces of stone that looked very old. It was similar to the mountain; if one didn’t look carefully, one couldn’t see the difference.
There were some patterns and pictures that one could only see the outline of but didn’t know exactly what it was.
“Your race is below?” Ye Zhongming pointed at the cave entrance and made a hand sign.
She nodded. She held the rope and used her chin to signal the tunnel below. She proactively stood in front of the entrance.
She meant that she could enter and let Ye Zhongming follow behind her.
This was the only way, so he agreed. The two of them entered one after another.
After entering the tunnel, Ye Zhongming took out a torch. He looked around carefully before telling her to continue. But she told him to close the metal gate that they entered from.
He rejected that.
If the door was open, he could escape if he faced danger. If it were closed, that would be an obstacle that would delay him for a second. That second might affect his survival. Without confirming what was in the tunnel and whether or not this woman was lying to him, he wouldn’t agree.
She was anxious, but seeing how firm he was, she could only continue walking.
The tunnel had no weird smell, meaning there was a decent ventilation system. He walked down, and this should be the core of that hill. It would even go underground.
After a few bents, Ye Zhongming felt like he should be underground. The tunnel got wider, and he quickly saw a few hundred square meters of hall.
Two torches were placed between where the hall and the tunnel were connected. Two muscular guys in leather pants held their spears and stood there. They smiled first at the woman before their expressions changed when they saw Ye Zhongming.
“Wu wu wu wu!” She shook her head to stop them from charging. She looked at Ye Zhongming in sadness and then glanced at the thing in her mouth.
Ye Zhongming hesitated before taking the cloth out.
“&amsp*@@*@!” n-.o)(V)-e(/l)-b-)I./n
She said something to the two guys. They looked at each other. One took two steps back and ran into the tunnel behind the hall.
The remaining guy and the woman communicated. Ye Zhongming couldn’t understand, so he just frowned and stood there.
If not for his trying to find out about the Secret Realm from these people to find out how to leave, Ye Zhongming wouldn’t have come here. Strangers often represented dangers.
Ye Zhongming didn’t have to wait for too long. A few minutes later, footsteps spread from the tunnel. Very quickly, 20 people entered the stone hall, each holding a weapon. But like this woman, most of their weapons were made of bone.
The woman was delighted and muttered something to the leading old man.
Ye Zhongming was wary when he saw them. Especially when he saw that old man, he was extremely careful and felt some danger.
The old man heard her words and looked at Ye Zhongming, who only exposed his glasses to smile in a friendly manner.
He was the only native wearing cloth clothing. Although it didn’t fit his size, it was clean. His hands were empty, but two chains were made of monster teeth. Some were on his ankles, too, which made him look weird.
“Young man, release our Miya. Let’s sit down and talk; maybe we can become friends.”
The mental communication shocked Ye Zhongming!
