"Look carefully, is there anyone missing? If there are any companions who were kidnapped, tell me immediately!"
Zhang Hao didn't know how many people there were. There were too many people kidnapped. All he could do was try to rescue as many people as possible.
Time was short and did not allow him to distinguish carefully.
So letting these people decide for themselves is the best way.
When it comes to the life and death of their companions, no one dares to take it seriously. After everyone checked, three of them raised their hands.
"I was kidnapped with my village mate, but she is not here now."
One man said, with an anxious look on his face.
He was rescued, but his companions remained, and the thought of this made him extremely anxious.
One of the two people from the same village was saved, but the other died.
This person alive will definitely be filled with guilt and wish he could live in pain all his life.
Zhang Hao could understand the pain of the other party, so he immediately asked him to join the team. After asking the other two people, Zhang Hao suddenly discovered that the companions of these people were all women.
"The men are imprisoned here and the women are imprisoned on the other side, right?"
Zhang Hao said thoughtfully.
After hearing this, everyone nodded immediately.
Chen Lijiu's eyes flickered on the side, and he obviously wanted to say something, but the tea stall owner immediately held him down.
"There is some food here, please share it first, hold it as long as you can, and temporarily distribute the food to those who need it more."
The tea stall owner handed out the food, and then with a wink, told Chen Lijiu and Zhang Hao to go to the other side.
Zhang Hao also had some guesses in his mind, so he immediately followed him.
The three of them came to the other side of the cave entrance and pretended to analyze the intelligence, but when they spoke, they talked about what they had just discovered.
"Sir, you have to be prepared. The situation on the other side may be even more tragic than here."
The tea stall owner took a deep breath and said solemnly, but a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"I joined the Valley of the Wicked because my wife and children were bullied. I wanted to retreat again and again, just for the sake of peace for my whole family, but the other party didn't give me a chance, and instead forced me into a desperate situation, so I killed someone and escaped."
When talking about his past, the tea stall owner's expression was extremely ugly. Even after many years, when he thought back to that day, he was still indignant.
Some of the people who join the Valley of the Wicked are born bad, and some are not simply good or bad and can be distinguished.
"You killed someone and ran away. Where are your wife and children? Are they still in your hometown?"
Chen Lijiu asked curiously.
After hearing this, the tea stall owner immediately shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"I drank too much at the time, but the other party came to make trouble again. In desperation, I used the knife.
He cut me and I accidentally hurt him.
It wasn't until a few days later that I heard that this man was dead. I ran away with my wife and children overnight. In fact, they lived not far away, in a small town outside the border. When I occasionally inquired about news, I would go and talk secretly. They meet. ”
Since the tea stall owner decided to follow Zhang Hao, he had no intention of keeping the secret any longer.
Their family is their deepest secret. Even if they lose their lives, they will never allow themselves to reveal their family's problems.
Chen Lijiu was listening with a smile, but when he heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"Old ghost, can you prepare us mentally? You tell so many secrets so suddenly, what do you want us to do?"
Chen Lijiu said angrily, but became a little more affectionate.
The tea stall owner smiled.
"I have figured it out. Instead of continuing to live like this, it is better to take a gamble with my husband. There are not many opportunities to make meritorious deeds. I hope to be a normal person in this life, even if it is only for a few years. I want to be honest with my family. In the world.”
After the tea stall owner expressed his feelings, he looked at Zhang Hao quietly.
No matter what he says, it must be approved by Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao looked at him silently, as if judging his true thoughts.
After more than ten seconds, Zhang Hao nodded silently.
"If you pass, follow me from now on."
After hearing this, Chen Lijiu's eyes suddenly lit up.
The husband's acceptance of the tea stall owner means that he has no deep prejudice against the Valley of Evil.
"Boss, stop being so pretentious and tell me about the situation over there."
Chen Lijiu immediately urged.
The tea stall owner nodded.
"Boss, you also know that I used to sell information. Over the years, I have always been able to find some very strange information. Seventy percent of this information has something to do with female ghosts."
Hearing the word "female ghost", Zhang Hao suddenly cursed in his heart.
Anything involving ghosts must be related to Yin energy.
Zhang Hao didn't need to listen anymore to know that this matter would definitely involve using the Yin Qi in the woman to try to conduct experiments.
Sure enough, when the tea stall owner continued to speak, he verified Zhang Hao's words.
"Boss, in the past few years, any news about female ghosts will always be in September, and the September Ghost Festival just ended last month.
I'm worried that these women who were kidnapped may be in danger. ”
After the tea stall owner finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Hao silently, waiting for Zhang Hao's order.
The situation has developed to this point and is no longer optimistic.
No matter how much they speculate, they still have to witness it with their own eyes.
Zhang Hao patted the two of them on the shoulders, asked them to get ready, and then returned to the hostages.
There wasn't much food, so everyone managed to eat a few bites, but most of them were still hungry.
What they longed for now more than food was to see the sun.
Zhang Hao also knew what they were thinking and immediately led the team outside.
After going out, a man walked towards him. However, when he saw this man, Zhang Hao couldn't help but show a strange look.
This person is not a stranger, but an acquaintance.
The little fat guy in the Xiaomei anchor team.
This person was looking around busily, obviously not knowing where he was. After seeing Zhang Hao, he exclaimed, immediately came forward and said in surprise:
"Old fairy, I finally see you."
The little fat man was taken away by Wei Sihao. Zhang Hao thought he and Wei Sihao were together, but he didn't expect to be walking alone in the mountains.
Moreover, Wei Sihao and the little fat man should be in the Valley of the Wicked. How come they are here like him?
Zhang Hao asked, but the little fat man had a look of confusion on his face, as if he didn't know why he was here.
"Old fairy, I have nothing to do with that person. He thought I was his descendant, but in fact our two families have no blood, so he let me go. But this is a vast mountain, and I don't know how to get out. ”
The more the little fat man spoke, the more miserable his face became, and he was obviously aggrieved to the extreme.
Zhang Hao felt more and more strange. Wei Sihao was not here, nor in the Valley of the Evil. Could it be that he had found some clues and went to find the mastermind behind the Crazy Knife in advance?
However, before Zhang Hao could figure it out, the little fat man suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Old fairy, I remembered something. Just when I came over just now, there seemed to be lights flashing on the top of the mountain next door. Although it was only For a moment, I did see it clearly.”
The hill next door.
Opposite Yingzui Rock is Tiger Peak, and there is only one place on Tiger Peak where people can live.
Tiger Peak is strange. It is not a mountain peak, but a steep cliff standing among the mountains.
This mountain is extremely steep. A stone pillar leads to the sky, about four to five hundred meters. There is no foothold on the way, and only the top area can be inhabited.
But if you want to reach the top of the mountain, you must climb the stone wall with your bare hands or with the help of tools.
For Zhang Hao, doing this kind of thing is easy, but for an ordinary person, it is no less than a narrow escape.
If they go to Tiger Peak, Chen Lijiu and others will definitely not be able to go.
Even if they insisted, Zhang Hao would not agree.
This place is extremely dangerous, and if there is any crisis, it will be difficult for him to protect himself.
It doesn't matter if it's just a Valley of Evil, but what if there's a lot of trouble behind the Valley of Evil?
There is no Wei Sihao and no shadow. With Zhang Hao's only method, it seems that his magical power is powerful, but in fact it is just a pretense.
Facing a large organization comparable to Wei Sihao, Zhang Hao was extremely wary.
"Boss, we are waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain. You go up by yourself. If there is danger, you send a signal from above."
Chen Lijiu said, and returned to the cave. After a while, he came back with a rag bag, his face was very labored.
"Boss, this is a pile of leftover homemade gunpowder. It's obviously not good for blowing up mountains, but it's very powerful when used as a signal bomb.
Take these. If it's not enough, I'll get some more. ”
"These are enough. You guys wait for me at the bottom of the mountain. If I notice something is wrong, I will call you over immediately."
Zhang Hao took the things and immediately went up the mountain.
Chen Lijiu looked at Zhang Hao's leaving figure, but Chen Lijiu and the tea stall owner were very worried. After discussing for a while, they suddenly remembered something.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
Chen Lijiu hurriedly called to Zhang Hao, snatched a pill from the tea stall owner's arms, carefully handed it to Zhang Hao, and said solemnly:
"Sir, these things are precious treasures. If used properly, they can even save a life. You must not take them as tonics. This is a magic medicine that can bring the dead back to life."
Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, looking at the pill in his hand with a look of astonishment on his face.
What is this thing, and how can it have such a powerful effect?
Zhang Hao came close to his nose and smelled it, a look of surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.
The pill was about the size of two fingers and contained a strong aroma of traditional Chinese medicine. Zhang Hao savored it for a moment and found that there was also a hint of bezoar.
For a moment, Zhang Hao thought of a possibility.
The magic medicine that can bring the dead back to life is mixed with the precious bezoar. This medicine seems to have only one answer.
"How did you get it?"
Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask.
There are not many things that interest him, and this bezoar magic medicine is definitely one of them.
Seeing Zhang Hao's interest, the tea stall owner immediately smiled, touched his nose, and said something embarrassed.
"Boss, actually it's nothing. I snatched this miracle medicine from a smuggler. At that time, he was willing to spend 10 million to redeem it for the medicine, but I think it's useless to ask for money. < br>
The Valley of the Wicked didn't use banknotes at all, so they didn't agree. As a result, this guy almost pissed himself to death after hearing this. ”
When Zhang Hao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He thought this guy had picked up the treasure somewhere, but he didn't expect that he had robbed someone else's treasure.
However, Zhang Hao then thought about it and robbed a smuggler. It didn't seem like a crime.
The smuggler who dares to do business with the Valley of the Evil is obviously not a gangster, but also a smuggler. It would be best for such a person to be robbed and bankrupt.
"You guys wait here, I will reward you based on your merits when I come back."
With the protection of the bezoar medicine, Zhang Hao suddenly had more protection.
He was not a weak person to begin with, he was just too cautious, so he was a little more careful.
But Zhang Hao never felt that he would be in danger.
Having the bezoar magic medicine in hand is equivalent to an extra life. Apart from Chen Lijiu, Zhang Hao can't think of anyone in the world who can stop him.
If he intends to escape, no one can stop him.
Under Tiger Peak, Zhang Hao slashed at the stone wall with one hand like a knife.
The gap in the stone was extremely stubborn, and as Zhang Hao grabbed it, a crack gradually opened.
Zhang Hao checked briefly and took action again.
After several consecutive clicks, Zhang Hao was already above ten meters.
Looking down from here, everyone already looks a little small.
"Boss, be careful, we are waiting for you below."
Chen Lijiu said worriedly.
Zhang Hao nodded, gave them a reassuring gesture, and then sped up.
The 400-meter Tiger Peak is actually nothing troublesome to him.
Zhang Hao took advantage of the cracks and bulges on the stone wall and used a little force to reach an altitude of fifty meters with ease.
Going further up, Zhang Hao suddenly found that there was a bit more chill in the air here.
In addition, the energy of the earth's veins seems to have been added a little.
Could it be that this is also a trap?
Zhang Hao suddenly thought of the cave under Yingzui Peak.
He asked Chen Lijiu to blow up the cave where the trap was.
Unexpectedly, after trying so hard to hide, I still ran into another one.
However, Zhang Hao just sighed and was not really worried.
The road up the mountain becomes more and more twists and turns.
At an altitude of 400 meters, Zhang Hao spent half an hour. During this period, when he grabbed a stone, perhaps because he used too much force, the stone collapsed completely.
Zhang Hao immediately waved his hand and sent out a blast of cold wind. The cold wind swept up the falling rocks and blew them to an open space several hundred meters away, preventing them from hitting the people below.
After Zhang Hao finished doing this, he looked up again.
The appearance of earth energy did not seem to attract the attention of the people above.
The reason why he climbed so hard was, on the one hand, not to alert the enemy, and on the other hand, if there was someone on top, he hoped to use this to cause a misjudgment of the opponent's strength.
Facing an unknown enemy, Zhang Hao was as cautious as possible, not wanting the other party to notice his true identity.
While Zhang Hao was climbing the mountain, at the top of Tiger Peak, in a group of thatched houses, a man was being scolded by the boss.
"How many times have I told you that you must never turn on the lights unless absolutely necessary? Do you know that your actions will expose us here?" (End of Chapter)
