Chapter 992 Movement in the Stone House
In the end, after Old Man Qingya swept through all the settlements of the Juli Tribe, he only found some usable kitchen supplies and food supplies. Not a single NPC from the Juli Tribe was found.
“I don’t know where these bastards have gone! How could such a big guy leave the settlement without being seen by anyone?” Old Man Qingmi put the looted items in front of Ji Xiaoyan and the others. Throwing it away, he said to Ji Xiaoyan and the others like they were complaining: "You think, how could it be possible for so many people from the Juli clan to disappear suddenly? Looking at the situation in the house now, it doesn't look like they left. ah ! Guess where they disappeared? Girl Xiaoyan, do you think it's possible that they went to the secret passage? "Ji Xiaoyan is using it now?" Blue Foam Coffee and the others helped cook something on a simple stove made of stones. When they heard the words of the old man Qingya, they were stunned. Then they suddenly thought of the words that the soldier from a stranger's house brought to her when she entered the game. . The game characters who seem to be strangers are still locked up in the secret passage.
"That's right! In addition to being able to live here in Qingcheng, the Juli people can't hide their bodies anywhere. ? If they hadn't gone to the secret passage, how could they not be here! The city lord's mansion was cleared by Guitu and the others. They can't be anywhere!" Old Man Qingmi touched his chin and said with an analytical look. Then he looked at Ji Xiaoyan's busy work with some dissatisfaction and said to her: "You girl is also stupid, in the room over there. There is a kitchen, why don’t you use it? Do you need to use stones to cook?”
"The kitchen tools are too big for me to use!" Ji Xiaoyan didn't even look at the old man Qingmi and said directly to him, and then continued the topic just now and said: "Uncle, as you wish, giant Why did the Li clan go to the secret passage? "Should we go down and take a look?" "Without Yu Mo, can you come back?" Old man Qingmi said with a smile, "We should wait for you to take Qingcheng. Let’s talk about it once we have the map of the secret passage in hand! Hey, we can only take one step at a time. Without the Juli clan to help you defend the city, you have to see if you can find adventurers to help you defend the city! Girl, don’t you have many adventurer friends? What's the name of Luo Ye? I remember that they brought a lot of people to help you attack the city this time. How about asking them to help you defend the city in the future?"
"Well, I'll ask later!" Ji Xiaoyan nodded. Now Luo Ye Fanfei and the others have not received the news that she is online, and they cannot contact her yet. They can only discuss this matter later!
"Well, I think that boy is pretty good!" Old Man Qingya nodded with satisfaction and said, "But you have to explain it to them first when you turn around. The casualties in the defense of the city will be huge. Let them be mentally prepared! However, there are still many good things in Qingcheng's treasure house. Girl, please get some as a reward to encourage them!”
“Uncle Master, isn’t it too early to say this?” Ji Xiaoyan glanced at Old Man Qingmi and said helplessly: "We still don't know how many of the things in the treasure house can be used!" Isn't that right? Many players can only look at NPC stuff but not use it! To put it bluntly, the treasure house in Qing City was basically collected by the Lord of Qingwan City. I think most of it can only be used by NPCs.
"Just think about where you are first!" Old man Qingmi seemed to have reacted, then curled his lips, scratched his head, and said to Ji Xiaoyan, and then asked: "How long will it take for you to eat?" How long will it take to get it done? It will get dark soon. Can dinner be served on time? "
" It's coming soon!" Ji Xiaoyan nodded.
"Who is that? Let's go and look for lighting tools in the house! It's dark today. If we can't even find a lamp, we'll have to eat in the dark later." Old man Qingya said directly to I said something while drinking blue foam coffee, and regardless of whether he answered or not, I just grabbed him from the ground, pulled him to the surrounding stone houses, and casually entered one.
When Ji Xiaoyan had almost prepared the food, Old Man Qingmi and Blue Foam Coffee also brought back a lamp that was taller than her.
"Uncle, why did you bring such a big lamp back? Just find a small one!" Ji Xiaoyan looked at him in surprise as he held in his breath and carried the lamp. After placing the stone lamp on the ground with a bang, he asked, "Can this lamp be lit?"
"Why not? There's a lot of lamp oil in it!" Old Man Qingya wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then exhaled and said: "This is already the smallest stone lamp I can find! Do you think I want to carry such a heavy weight? Are you ready for dinner?"
"Okay, okay!" He nodded quickly, and then placed the things on the ground with the purple foam coffee, and said to the old man Qingya doubtfully: "Uncle Master, I remember that when I came here last time, I saw some of their Juli tribe. You didn’t find that smaller lamp?”
“No!” Old man Qingya frowned when he heard this. "You remember correctly?"
"Absolutely not!" Ji Xiaoyan said with certainty, "When Sabrina took me around here, she always held up a small lamp. , how could I remember it wrong!" Ji Xiaoyan said while gesturing to the old man Qingmi, "It's just such a big lamp in Sabrina's hand. , very small."
"But my uncle and I have searched almost every corner, and we didn't see such a small light!" Blue Foam Coffee also frowned. Ji Xiaoyan said, "Did the people from the Juli tribe take away that lamp?" Upon hearing this, everyone was silent for two seconds, thinking about this possibility.
"That must be the case!" Old Man Qingya slapped his hands suddenly, and then said: "So, those people from the Juli Tribe must have gone to the secret passage. That's right! In the secret passage The light was not good, so they needed a light source, so they took away all the small lights. Yes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
< br>"But, Uncle Master, even if you are not wrong, didn't you also say that without Yu Mo, we can't go to the secret passage!" Ji Xiaoyan sighed and said to the old man Qingmi: "Do we still have to go to the secret passage? Are you waiting here for them to come back?"
"Uh" Old man Qingmi was stunned when he heard this, and then he stopped talking a little frustrated.
So, everyone stopped this topic with a tacit understanding and started eating in silence.
The sky in the game gradually darkened over time. After finishing everything, Old Man Qingya found a fire source, lifted up the blue foam coffee, and asked him to give the stone lantern to him. Light up, making the small courtyard where they are staying bright.
However, Ji Xiaoyan and the others, who thought they would spend the night quietly here, heard some vague sounds in the stone house of the Juli Clan leader not long after the sky turned completely dark. The movement! "Let's go over and have a look!" Old man Qingmi was very courageous. As soon as he heard any movement, he immediately called Ji Xiaoyan and they moved towards that room. When they got close, they heard that There was obviously a louder movement in the house, and there was a thump, thump, and it seemed like stones were falling to the ground one by one!
"There must be someone inside!" Blue Foam Coffee glanced at Ji Xiaoyan and the others excitedly, then rushed to the wall of the stone house, put his ear against it and started listening.
“Wait a minute, I’ll move the lamp over here!” Old Man Qingya also became more energetic. He took a breath and moved the stone lamp they carried here towards the stone house of the clan leader. Then, like Ji Xiaoyan and the others, they put their ears to the stone wall and listened carefully.
"Uncle, who do you think is inside? Could it be the patriarch of the Juli tribe?" Ji Xiaoyan listened for a while, except for the sound of stones falling to the ground, there was no sound from them. Hearing any voices, he looked at old man Qingya with some curiosity and asked in a low voice.
"It's possible! This room is locked from the inside! If there is no one inside, how could it not be opened?" Old Man Qingya nodded, and then rubbed his hands excitedly: "If there is really that Juli clan inside The words of the clan leader have saved us a lot of time! We can talk to him directly about defending the city in a moment."
"Yes!" Ji Xiaoyan responded. Before he could say anything else, he heard the sound of falling rocks in the stone house disappearing instantly. A few seconds later, there were distinct sounds of footsteps! It sounds like there is more than one person!
Old man Qingmi and Ji Xiaoyan looked at each other doubtfully, then they pulled the two brothers and sisters, Blue Foam Coffee, back away from the wall of the stone house, and found another place to hide on the ground around them. He hid and then stared carefully at the door of the clan leader's stone house.
After a while, the door that remained motionless no matter how hard Old Man Qingya tried it opened, and a vigilant man from the Juli clan walked out. When the man from the Juli tribe saw the stone lamp moved by the old man Qingya outside the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately glanced around a few times, not knowing what he thought of, and quickly retreated. I walked into the house and didn’t know what to do inside.
A minute later, just when Ji Xiaoyan thought that the man from the Juli tribe was the only one in the room, four or five men from the Juli tribe suddenly jumped out of the stone room, and then they I saw the men of the Juli clan holding a few big wooden sticks in their hands and began to search around.
