The black crevices gave people an uncomfortable feeling. Zhao Qieshi's back was already feeling cold. Just as he was about to return home, he heard shouts coming from the outside. Although the voices were not very clear, Zhang Zhou still recognized the owner of the voice and was shocked.

"It's Yang Xiaolang!"

No one said anything, but they all looked nervous. Zhang Zhou did not reply loudly. Instead, he raised his torch and went back to welcome them.

Yang Xiaolang must have noticed the light from the torch and shouted anxiously, "Sir, is that you?"

"Xiao Lang, I'm over here. Be gentle, and don't shout!"

When they heard Zhang Zhou's voice, they didn't dare to act rashly. They carefully walked forward, and when they saw Zhang Zhou, they could no longer hold back their impatience and ran a few steps closer. With an anxious face, they said, "Master, we can't get out!"

"What's going on, explain it clearly?"

I have been guarding the cave entrance all this time, and I don't know where a lot of black clothed people came from, but they forced me into the cave first, and then they threw a large amount of firework into the cave. Then, they used stones to fill up the hole.

Zhang Zhou knew that something big had happened, so he led Yang Xiaolang back to Zhao Qisheng. He calmed himself down and tried his best to speak in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, something has happened!"

Zhao Qishui felt something was wrong and asked nervously.

"What's going on!"

Zhang Zhou asked Yang Xiaoluo to repeat what he had just said. Zhao Qieshi didn't show too much panic, but he also looked embarrassed and didn't say anything. Zhang Zhou said, "Your Highness, we cannot sit still and wait for death! No matter who the other party is, it's clear that we won't be able to leave through the hole! Waiting for rescue probably wouldn't work, and now all he had to do was find another way out. I've observed this fissure before. There's a ventilation hole inside, so there might be an exit, so you can leave! "

Zhao Qishui looked at Zhang Zhou and said, "Zhang Zhou, tell me the truth. Are we sure we can get out of here?"

Zhang Zhou was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, but he forced himself to remain calm.

"Your Highness, I can't guarantee anything!" But now, we have no choice but to gamble! "

Zhao Qisheng's hands were already trembling as he grabbed onto Zhang Zhou's wrist.

"Alright, I'll listen to you. You'll take care of everything now. All of you, come over here!"

The few of them knew that something had happened, but they were people who had experienced a lot, so they were relatively calm. Zhao Qishui seemed so depressed that he couldn't speak, so he simply pointed to Zhang Zhou, indicating for him to speak. Zhang Zhou then bluntly said, "Something's wrong outside, the entrance to the cave is blocked, and we can't get out! "Right now, we have no time to think about what exactly happened. All we have to do is find another exit!"

At this point, Zhao Qisheng also added, "If we can escape this time, I will not disappoint everyone and ensure that you will be able to live a life of prosperity and prosperity!"

The few of them clasped their fists in silence.

He only had one choice, and that was to go through the black rift. As they moved forward, the road became more and more difficult to walk on. The narrowest part of the road was just able to climb over by itself, and the crack continued to stretch out without anyone knowing where the head was. If it was not for the fact that there was an even more obvious trace of wind, this situation would have left them in despair.

After an unknown period of time, after passing through a zigzag gap, he finally saw a spacious area that would make one feel relaxed and happy.

The few of them immediately felt relaxed. Zhang Zhou gasped for breath a few times, venting out all the depression and depression from earlier. He did not allow them to proceed immediately, because the last torch was about to burn out. The space in front of them was extremely spacious. They did not understand the situation, so they did not dare to move blindly. After a simple observation, Zhang Zhou was very assured. They were now in a large natural karst cave because he had seen the milk stone and heard the sound of flowing water.

Everyone was dressed in rags and their faces were covered in dirt. Who would care about such things at this time? Zhao Qieshen's face was also worn.

By the light of the last fire, they found a flat and wide place to rest and recover their strength.

The torch was extinguished, and darkness descended upon them. No one spoke a word, and the sound of flowing water within the cave became clearer and clearer.

Everyone was more or less hungry. After all, they were all nervous and exhausted most of their energy. However, none of them brought food, so they could only endure their hunger. Zhang Xingzhi nudged Zhang Zhou, who was sitting on his back, and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"

"Follow the direction of the water current and there will definitely be an exit!"

"En!"

Everyone had heard Zhang Zhou's words, but no one doubted them.

Zhen Jiu suddenly said, "I think I know who carved the character?"

Zhang Zhou said, "Anyway, it's fine. Tell me about it!"

"I heard my master talk about this person. Now that I think about it, it should be Yu Jinshi, the number one expert of the martial arts world fifty years ago. According to my master, he should be the number one Martial God, the one who dominated the martial arts world for more than ten years.

"How did you know it was him?" Zhang Zhou was very interested.

"That's because he once proclaimed himself to be a half-step Immortal, and is only half a step away from becoming an Immortal!"

Zhang Zhou said with a weak smile, "Oh my god, who knows, you might even find out what kind of martial arts manual this half-step into the Immortal Realm left behind!" That would be great! "

Zhao Qishui snappily replied, "Wait until we get out of here, I'll give you a few secret manuals!" I guarantee that you will achieve Immortal Ascension in one step! "

"What kind of secret manual is this powerful?"

"Great Art of the Spring Palace!"

Zhang Zhou knew he was joking. He had never even touched a woman before. He didn't expose her either.

"Your Highness, we have a deal!"

Finished speaking, Zhang Zhou stood up, patted his butt out of habit and laughed out loud, then mocked himself: "It's all in the dark, who would want to see if there's soil on your butt! "Alright, everyone. Now that you all have thrown away some useless thoughts, there's only one thing on your minds. Protect His Highness well, and let's go out together!"

No one said anything unnecessary as they all stood up. Zhang Zhou wanted to go over to Yang Xiaoluo's bow and break it in half. He then took off his coat and tore it into two torches!

After lighting one, he looked at the battered Zhao Qisheng and could not help but smile.

"Your Highness, would you like to see how handsome you are now?"

Zhao Qieshen chuckled.

"This King does not need to see what kind of morals or morals you have now. This King knows it as well!" Sooner or later, I will kill you and silence you! "

A proper joke would ease a lot of tension. Following the sound, Zhang Xuan soon found the location of the flowing river. Zhang Zhou decided to follow the flow of the water.

After walking for who knows how long, 10 miles, 20 miles, or even just a few miles, the road was too difficult to walk, and there was no road at all. After walking for who knows how long, 10 miles, 20 miles, or perhaps only a few miles, the road was too hard to walk, and there was no road at all.

Until the second torch burned out, there was no hope. Zhang Zhou let everyone rest, and laid down on the ground, not wanting to move at all.

The sound of breathing rose and fell, mixed with the sound of flowing water. Their hearts felt especially heavy.

"Zhang Zhou!"

"Yes," Zhao said softly. In this case, no one paid much attention to the word etiquette.

"Do you still blame me?"

"What?"

"Tang Yu'er!"

"She is safe now, and you have promised to return her to me. What can I blame you for?"

Yang Xiaolan suddenly asked.

"How is Shui'er?"

"What's going on here?" he asked with a wry smile.

Zhang Zhou laughed, "I forgot to introduce him. Yang Xiaolang, my brother-in-law!"

"So that's how it is! Rest assured, everything is good! "

It was unknown if Yang Xiaolang was feeling shy or not as he remained silent.

Suddenly, Zhao Qisheng, who was lying on his back, said, "Is there something wrong with my eyes? Little boat, look! Look up! "

Zhang Zhou hurriedly opened his eyes and looked up. Several hundred feet above, there was a gray streak of light. Everyone was staring at that grey streak, not saying a word. As time passed, the darkness grew brighter and brighter. A beautiful blue sky actually appeared, and a pillar of warmth from the sunlight fell in.

Thereafter, there were several scattered light pillars that appeared in the cave either close or far away. Although it was impossible to climb out from such a high hole, this undoubtedly gave everyone a new source of hope.

Zhang Zhou stopped them from shouting and said, "Now hurry up and find a way out, don't waste your energy."

Now that he had hope, he naturally felt that his physical strength had recovered quite a bit. They set off again, taking turns chatting while Zhang Zhou carried Zhao Qizhen on his back. Because of the light, the road was much easier to walk on.

Zhao Qishui looked at the pillars of light and casually said, "Zhang Zhou, look, do these beams of light look like the Big Dipper?"

Zhang Zhou looked up and replied, "Yes, a little like him!"

The few of them could not help but look up. As for Zhang Xingzhi, he felt as if he had been messed up by something. He was definitely not a rock. He lowered his head and said, "Hm?" He made a sound.

He then raised his hand to stop them from moving forward. Then, he slowly drew his sword and said, "Everyone, be careful!"

The few of them instantly became alert, drew their sabers, and slowly moved closer to Zhao Qizhi.

"Senior Brother, what's the situation?"

"I just stepped on a corpse!"

Zhen Jiu took a few steps forward, and with the help of the light, he could clearly see that the corpse had already been reduced to a pile of bones. His clothes were tattered, and he had died for who knows how many years.

"This man was killed! His entire spine had been cut off! Everyone be on your guard, you must be careful! "

After moving forward about 20 steps, Zhang Xingzhi found another corpse. It was the same as how he checked on Zhen Jiu. Just like that, more and more bodies were found. The largest pile was filled with 3 corpses. This cave was two to three hundred feet wide. Just by looking at his surroundings, one could imagine just how many tragic battles had occurred here. Even Zhang Xingzhi couldn't help but stop moving forward.

Zhang Zhou put down Zhao Qisheng and asked Old Jia to keep watch. He walked up to Old Zhen, who was bent over to examine the corpse once again, and asked softly, "Is it still the same?"

Zhen Jiu nodded, confirming Zhang Zhou's question. Zhang Zhou asked again.

"What do you think?"

Zhen Jiu thought for a moment and said, "From the way they died and how long it took, the most direct conclusion is that they were probably killed by Yu Golden Chime! As for why, other than these people, it's hard to guess. "

Zhang Zhou picked up a rusted sword from a pile of bones and looked at it again and again. "Along the way, these people used a variety of weapons. Can you tell where they came from?"

Zhen Jiu shook his head. As for Zhang Xingzhi, who had never examined a corpse before, he said softly, "There are some people with wrist guards. They might be clues!"

"What's the difference?"

"Yes, these bracers always have a golden bead inlaid in the middle that won't rust. I've only seen one kind of person wearing this kind of bracers in the martial arts world!"

"What kind of person?" "I don't remember ever seeing it before!" In the decades that he had roamed the martial arts world, he had never seen such a wrist guard before.

"I have!" Zhang Xing's tone was heavy.

"Where?"

"Beside the King of the Great Northern River!"

Zhang Zhuo's head started to swell. This Great North River King was endless! He could be anything to do with it.

"Who are these people?"

This time, it was Zhao Qishui who asked the question. He took it from Yang Xiaolang's hand and specially found a wristband just now to examine it closely.

Zhang Xingzhi shook his head.

"I don't know. They are not subordinates of the King of the Great Northern River. Their style of doing things feels like they're from outside this region. I'm not sure exactly where they are!"

The alien was a foreign country.

Zhang Zhou stood up and said, "Senior brother and I will lead the way! Big Brother Zhen, protect your highness. The young man in the back cannot waste any more time! "

Everything was less important than finding the exit, and there was no time to worry about the scattered corpses. Because of their desire to live, and also because of their fear of the unknown, everyone's footsteps naturally sped up. Once again, everyone was exhausted. When they finally reached the end of the cave, they saw a wide expanse of water. When the water reached this place, it formed a pond and there were no more rivers.

Zhang Zhou sat down on the ground and laid down on his back. At this moment, everyone was exhausted. After a long time, Zhang Zhou said, "Life and death are all underwater!"

Zhen Jiu also nodded his head, "Understood. This should be the place where the water flows out of the outside world. There must be a channel leading to the outside world. If the channel is closer, then we have to live. If it is further away …"

"There is another situation, Your Highness, this Lu Jia Ping doesn't have any waterfall right?"

"Never heard of it!"

"That's good, now there's an additional chance for survival!"

Zhang Zhou did not expect the water to be flowing out of a waterfall!

Everyone rested for a bit to recover some of their strength. The light pillars behind them had already begun to dim, not daring to delay any longer. The dark sky was extremely disadvantageous to their movements.

Amongst these people, the best swimmer was King Ping, Zhao Qisheng, and the worst was Zhang Zhou. Naturally, he couldn't let Zhao Qisheng be the first to test the waters. Old Jia was the first. Zhang Zhou took off a small water bag made of cowhide from his waist, checked to see if the stopper was sealed properly, and then handed it to Old Jia, telling him that it could be used in the water as a ventilation system, and that it could probably be used twice, which would greatly increase the diving time.

Jia jumped into the water. The water wasn't very cold, so he got used to it. He took a deep breath and looked in. Not long after, Old Jia floated up. He first panted a few times, then told everyone who was waiting happily that there was a waterway below that faintly glowed. Zhang Zhou nodded and handed Yang Xiaolang's water bag to Ping Wang. He didn't say anything. Zhao Qieshi looked at Zhang Zhou and smiled. "Zhang Zhou, trust me. I won't leave you alone!

Finishing his words, he jumped into the water as well.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a torrent of water gushed out from under the water. Not long after, Old Jia came out of the water, gasping for breath. Zhang Zhou and the others quickly pulled him to the shore.

Zhang Zhou saw the two leather pouches on his waist and felt relieved. It seemed that he had succeeded.

Old Jia needed to recover. Zhang Xingzhi told Yang Xiaolang to leave first. Yang Xiaolang refused to do anything and insisted on staying behind to accompany Zhang Zhou. Zhang Zhou's ability to swim was such that even the three water sacs would not be able to escape. He could only rely on others to bring in more reliable items. Zhang Xinghe and Zhen Jiu could only dive into the sea and head out.

Before long, Zhang Yu had returned. He had also landed for half a day to catch his breath. It was relatively easy for him to go out and travel with the current, and coming back to the current was much more difficult. The waterway was about a hundred feet long and wide enough. As long as he had the equipment, Zhang Zhou could leave easily.

This time, Yang Xiaolang and Old Jia, who had recovered some of their strength, went out. Zhang Xing told him to pass the message to the Ping Wang and rushed to find some large ventilation systems.

Not long after Yang Xiaoluo entered the water, the pillars of light also completely disappeared. With Zhang Xingzhi by his side, Zhang Zhou's heart calmed down a little. In fact, he was extremely afraid. In the darkness, Zhang Xingzhi did not even notice that Zhang Zhou's hands were trembling. Who wouldn't be afraid of death? Zhang Zhou kept comforting himself, but it didn't seem to have any effect. He could only feel himself shaking more and more violently.

"Senior Brother, I want to shout a few times!"
