20. Xiao Li didn't say anything. Old Zhao was depressed for a while before he said: "Brother Xiao, it's better that you take the child and leave. I can't do it anymore, even if you leave now, you won't live, so don't worry about me."

Xiao Li had been lowering his head and deep in thought. Now that he heard Old Zhao's words, he raised his head and stared at him.

Old Zhao smiled bitterly, "Brother Xiao, don't delay any longer. Quickly take the child and escape."

Xiao Li ignored him. First, he grabbed Old Zhao's left hand, then his right hand, and finally, he probed Old Zhao's temples. Finally, he wrote on his hand, "Qi Sea is depleted, heart meridian is withered, medicinal pills are useless."

Old Zhao said, "It's good that Brother Xiao knows, so let's quickly flee."

Xiao Li then wrote on his hand, "The essence blood is not withered and the essence energy is not drained. The essence energy can be used to nourish the vitality. There is still hope."

Old Zhao felt the meaning behind Xiao Li's words and felt elated, "Brother Xiao, is what you said true?!"

Xiao Li then wrote, "It is not a waste of words."

Old Zhao suddenly hesitated, "But now is not the time. You should leave quickly."

Xiao Li wrote, "I have my own plans."

After saying that, he waved his ten fingers and blocked the dozen of acupuncture points surrounding Old Zhao's Qi Sea. He then wrote on his hand, "Seal the Qi Sea, don't act rashly again. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire."

Then from the old Zhao's nasal column gingival intersection point to the end, the water ditch, Suliao, Shenting, from the top of the stars to the window, the front, Baihui, and from Baihui down to the back, strong, brain, Fengfu, Dummy, Greater vertebra, Tao to the body pillar, Shen-dao, Lingtai, and from the Lingtai down to the Yang, Shrinking, Spine, suspension, mingmen, Yangguan, waist Yu Jiqiang acupoints, you can see him slapping or hitting, tapping or hitting, pulling or pulling, each of the weird acupoints have different techniques.

Xiao Li let out a long breath after patting Old Zhao's acupoints. He actually wiped his face with his sleeve. Unexpectedly, his face was covered in sweat. It could be seen that he had used all his strength to clear Old Zhao's acupoints.

After Old Zhao was hit by Xiao Li's energy, he finally moved. He let out a long breath and his breathing became even. He was no longer as difficult as before.

Old Zhao stood up and bowed towards Xiao Li, saying: "Many thanks to Brother Xiao for saving my life. However, you expending your True Qi to treat my injuries might not be beneficial to the enemy, right?"

Xiao Li stretched out a hand to help him up as he wrote on his hand, "It's alright. You can recover in a moment by regulating your breathing. Don't circulate your true energy randomly, or else the consequences will be dire." The last sentence he said was for Old Zhao.

Old Zhao nodded, "Understood!"

Xiao Li nodded and then sat cross-legged on the ground. He placed five fingers of his right hand in a flame shape towards the sky and placed his left hand below his right hand. He extended his palm to the ground and began to channel his Qi. Old Zhao held Little Ying's hand and stood guard beside him, vigilantly observing the surroundings to prevent any surprise attacks. When he turned around, he could vaguely see Xiao Li's posture in the darkness. He lowered his head and carefully looked at it, his expression showing a little surprise, after being stunned for a while, he finally regained his senses and immediately surveyed his surroundings vigilantly. Then, he exhaled a long breath, as if he was afraid of alarming Xiao Li, he actually exhaled very slowly.

An hour passed quickly and Xiao Li woke up on time. He let out a breath as he opened his eyes and stopped cultivating. Seeing Old Zhao standing guard, Old Zhao smiled and nodded towards him. Then, he strode towards the place where Lieutenant Shen Bu had disappeared.

Old Zhao unconsciously spoke up from behind him: "Brother Xiao, be careful!"

Xiao Li waved to him, indicating that he understood. He walked to the place where he had been hidden by someone and squatted down to take a closer look. He didn't seem to have found anything. He raised his head to look around and then slowly got up to the left side of the mountain.

Old Zhao secretly sweated for him. He knew that this dark tunnel was full of traps. Who knew when a couple of 'meridian piercing nails' or 'nitrate-filled' items would suddenly appear? Red light was sweating as he held the little hand. Red light seemed to feel his nervousness and approached him slowly. He was shaking a little and being held by the small hand of Old Zhao was getting closer. Old Zhao felt that something was off with Little Ying. He patted her on the back and said, "Don't be afraid, we'll be able to leave soon."

Xiao Li stretched out his hand to feel the left side of the mountain. Suddenly, he stopped moving his hand and took a deep breath. It was as if he was holding something in his hand. This soft sound was exceptionally ear-piercing in the silence of the cave. Xiao Li and Old Zhao tensed up when they heard this sound and knew that the change was about to occur again. They focused all of their attention to prevent any unexpected events.

The matter he expected did not happen. Instead, a 'shua' sound came from the mountain wall to his right. Xiao Li quickly turned around and stared at the mountain wall. A small hole had appeared in the wall, and only one person could pass through it.

Xiao Li walked to the entrance of the cave and peeked inside. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything inside. At this moment, Old Zhao arrived with Little Red in his hand. He looked inside and said, "It doesn't look like an exit, but more like a trap for ambushes and ambushes."

Xiao Li wrote on his hand, "I'll go scout ahead and throw rocks as the signal. We can keep up."

Old Zhao said gravely, "If it leads to the enemy's lair, then it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den."

Xiao Li wrote, "We have to try!"

Old Zhao said in silence, "Alright, be careful."

Xiao Li nodded and lowered his head to enter the cave. He could only hear faint sounds coming from inside as he flew away. This showed how fast Xiao Li's speed was.

After waiting for a while, Old Zhao started to get anxious. After all, if something were to happen to Xiao Li, they wouldn't have much hope. Finally, a beep beep sound came from inside the cave. Old Zhao looked at Xiao Ying and said, "Uncle is asking us to go over. Come on, let's go in!"

After saying that, Old Zhao pulled Ying Ying's hand and went into the small hole. He found that Ying's hand was trembling. He tried to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, child. Follow uncle closely. He will be fine with you."

After entering the cave, Old Zhao found that the interior was a bit bigger. People could squat as they moved forward, but he slowed down with Little Ying. They had to travel seven to eight Zhang before they caught up to Xiao Li. The cave was pitch black. Old Zhao could vaguely see some things in the passage with his eyesight, but he could still hear them clearly. When Xiao Li heard the sounds of their groping, he knocked on the mountain wall with his stone, indicating that he was right in front of them.

Old Zhao asked in a low voice, "Is there a way out ahead?"

Xiao Li walked up to him and wrote on his hand, "We have reached the edge of the exit. Let me leave first and then listen to the signal."

Old Zhao nodded, "Alright!" At the same time, he held the small glowing hand with his left hand and drew out the sword with his right hand in order to meet the enemy's attack.

Xiao Li moved more than ten feet away stealthily and patted the mountain wall on his left hand. It was obvious that he had already discovered the mechanism to open the entrance, which was why he had sent out a signal for Old Zhao and the others to come over. With a wave of his hands, he saw a large shadow fly out of his hands, and after passing through the hole in front of him, he heard a series of light bangs. Xiao Li flew out after him, and with his hands placed on the wall of the cave, he climbed up. He quickly scanned the surroundings, and saw ten children standing at the entrance, staring at the object he threw out.

At this moment, the object he threw fell onto the ground with a thud. It was a huge boulder. Xiao Li had thought of this move a long time ago.

When the children saw that it was a large rock, they hurriedly turned their heads to look at the cave entrance and saw Xiao Li standing on the mountain wall. Xiao Li also looked at them in astonishment. He didn't expect such a scene to occur outside the cave.

When the children saw Xiao Li, they didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. All of them stretched out their hands and pointed at him. With a series of whooshing sounds, the rain of flowers flew towards Xiao Li.

Xiao Li was shocked. Why were all these kids shooting hidden weapons at him? He decisively stretched out his hands and waved them around, as if he had no bones. A flower butterfly appeared in front of him, enveloping him within it.

All the hidden weapons that had been submerged in the swarm of butterflies went silent, like small stones that had been dropped into water without the slightest bit of disturbance. The children didn't make any sound, but just kept shooting all kinds of concealed weapons at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li stared at these children among the butterflies. They all had sharp gazes, like demonic wolves. They were quiet and devilish. Not a single one of them had any human color. They were all staring at him on the mountain wall like wild beasts. Xiao Li was extremely shocked. It was as if these children had already lost their human nature and he was just like a prey in their eyes.

After understanding the situation, Xiao Li knew that there was only one way to make them stop. He kicked off the mountain wall with both feet, bringing a butterfly shadow with him as he flew into the children below. The butterfly shadow enveloped all of the children, and after a while, all of the butterfly shadows suddenly disappeared into thin air.

With a flash, Xiao Li arrived at the entrance of the cave and threw a small stone into the cave. He then heard the sound of rustling noises coming from the cave as Old Zhao crawled out of the cave with a red glow on his face.

When Old Zhao came out of the cave and saw the situation outside, his face turned pale with fright. "Brother Xiao, what happened? All these children...? "

Without waiting for him to finish, Xiao Li took his hand and wrote, "The situation is special and we have no choice but to make a move. The child is fine, they are a bit special."

When Little Ying saw the children on the ground, she was actually a little scared. She tightly pulled Old Zhao's sleeves and pressed him to the ground, shivering.

Old Zhao patted her on the back and said: "It's alright, these kids all had their acupoints ignited. They will be fine in a while." However, Lil 'Red was still looking at the child on the ground with fear in its eyes.

Old Zhao was startled by the scene outside. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the child on the ground had acupuncture points on his acupoints. After all, he was a martial arts expert. He saw that Xiao Li's attacks were well-timed and did not injure the children. Old Zhao was very surprised that Xiao Li had ordered these children to be killed. He unconsciously approached one of the children to see what was so special about them.

He felt that what Xiao Li did was a bit too much. When he saw the wild beast like gazes of these kids, he was shocked that these kids weren't struck dumb. However, they only coldly stared at him without saying a single word or even making a sound. Little Ying Ying had been holding onto his sleeve and following him. When she saw the cold gazes of the children, her body trembled even more. Old Zhao felt her fear and hurriedly walked over to Xiao Li's side.

Old Zhao frowned and said, "These children are indeed strange!"

Xiao Li wrote on his hand, "The ones who attacked me were them." Old Zhao was shocked again as he turned around to look at his surroundings. There were quite a number of hidden weapons scattered on the ground. The stone that Xiao Li had thrown out first lay quietly on the ground, with over ten different concealed weapons stuck in it.

It looks like these kids are raised in the earth," Zhao said. "They're the same as the ones on top. They've all been mistreated, which is why they're in such a state.

Xiao Li nodded in agreement.

Old Zhao looked around and saw that they were in a small hall. The hall seemed to be carved out of mountain walls, and the walls were all flat and polished. There was nothing in the hall, not even a door leading in or out.

Old Zhao said, "There seems to be no exit here. This small hall seems to be made of hollows in the mountain."

Xiao Li nodded and shook his head before pointing at the children on the ground.

Old Zhao said, "That's right. If there's no entrance, how did these children get in?"

Xiao Li carefully looked around the entire hall while Old Zhao and Lil 'Red looked around as well. After looking around for a while, Xiao Li flew up to the Seven Treasures Glazed Light. After fumbling around for a while, he seemed to have finally found something, and looking at the movement of his right hand, he suddenly heard a familiar jarring sound. Xiao Li immediately stopped his movements and flew to Old Zhao's side, quietly observing his surroundings. Old Zhao also pulled Ying to the two of them and looked at the mountain wall.

With a swoosh, a hole appeared on the mountain wall in front of Xiao Li. It looked exactly the same as the one they had entered earlier. Seeing this, Xiao Li made a gesture to Old Zhao, indicating for him to act as usual before bowing and entering the cave himself. After a long while, the sound of rolling rocks came from inside the cave. Old Zhao quickly dived in with Little Ying in tow.

Sure enough, the cave passage was exactly the same as the previous one. After travelling about seven to eight Zhang, they caught up to Xiao Li.

Although today people are very tired, but still grit their teeth and persevere two times, hope that everyone can give some flowers to encourage, let brother have more motivation, thank you! Everyone, go ahead and smash whatever you have!
