Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife
Chapter 2285 - 652: Acquisition, Ambush, Ampei_2
The number of bats is immense, their flapping sounds are so incessant that it sends chills down one’s spine. No idea how long it has been, the cave finally quiets down, and An Yiqing lets out a breath and turns on the flashlight.
"Just entered and it’s already so intense, who knows what else is waiting." An Zhifeng sighs, leading the way at the front.
The cave is not narrow, nor does it have any imagined hidden weapons or mechanisms. The cold stone walls are filled with sharp protrusions formed over many years as a natural protective layer. Looking up at the cave ceiling, the smooth stone surface is dotted with numerous round openings of varying sizes. From time to time, strange things crawl out from these openings, lurking upside down and staring at the people below, truly terrifying.
Only after An Zhifeng cut down the twenty-third venomous snake dangling from above did everyone finally reach the main passage of the cave.
"Is Cha Chai that old guy a psychopath? He won’t rest even in death. How many people died just for a deed of land transfer?" Long Zixuan squats and examines a corpse that has only been dead for a few days, undoubtedly another one who came for the deed of land transfer.
"I’ve heard he dispatched several batches of mercenaries one after another to get the deed of land transfer inside, spending a fortune. Whether those mercenaries actually succeeded in delivering it to the destination isn’t known. In the end, none of them survived, that’s for sure." An Zhifeng said.
An Yiqing remains silent, turning on her Clairvoyant Eye and surveying around. Her eyebrow raises when she sees a figure in the distance, and her lips curl into a smile.
"What’s the matter, miss?"
"It’s nothing, just ran into two acquaintances." An Yiqing chuckles, steps noticeably lighter.
The group is puzzled, but before they can dwell on it, they see the elder and young girl duo fleeing in panic ahead, everything becomes clear.
Indeed, aren’t they acquaintances? The ones they had drugged a day ago!
At this point, the Doomed Squad consisted only of the elder and young girl duo, the other muscular men all perished. Who knows what they went through, the old man’s right arm was bitten with flesh torn off, the bare bone clearly visible.
Upon seeing An Yiqing, their eyes light up and, regardless of why they are here, they dash forward.
"Young lady, save, save us!" The old man clutches his injured right arm and lunges toward An Yiqing.
To his surprise, An Yiqing’s elegant brows arch, her right foot suddenly raises, and she kicks the old man’s stomach fiercely.
If he wants to harm her, why should she show respect for the elderly?
The old man couldn’t withstand An Yiqing’s kick, instantly flying backward, landing with a thud a few meters away.
"What are you doing?!" The reckless young girl’s brows furrow with fury, glaring at An Yiqing. But upon seeing her meaningful gaze, a chill runs down her spine, instantly snapping back to reality, "You, you all..." How come you’re here?
An Yiqing’s elegant brows lift slightly, her smile profound, "What do you mean? Are you asking why, despite being drugged, we are here?"
The reckless young girl’s face pales, they actually know everything?!
At this moment, the old man shakily climbs up from the ground, heard An Yiqing’s words. He freezes, a dark shadow flashing in his eyes. No wonder the Corpse-Dissolving Liquid he stole was useless, turns out they had premeditated!
He lifts his head, donning a pitiful expression, he slowly shuffles over next to An Yiqing.
"Young lady, it was a momentary lapse, forgive us, spare us! Right now, we are all in the cave, like grasshoppers tied to the same string, we should help each other. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a Seven-Tiered Pagoda!" The old man sobs tearfully.
Watching from the side, An Zhifeng and the others feel toothache, they turn away, couldn’t be bothered anymore.
An Yiqing glances at the old man, suddenly amused, "It’s indeed the first time someone told me saving a life is more meritorious than building a Seven-Tiered Pagoda, old gentleman. When I was saving lives, you were still sucking your thumb at home. Of course, maybe when I was killing people, you might’ve seen it." As her words fall, an angry roar reverberates through the cave, shaking the ground thrice.
The reckless elder and young girl duo hears this sound, their faces turn ghostly pale, trembling like leaves. That monster is here again!
"Ah Feng, send these two back where they belong." An Yiqing said coldly.
The old man’s face turns even paler, looking at An Yiqing in disbelief, she’s actually sending him to his death!
