“Hong Xi of the Hong family, Lin Yuantu of the Fuwei Escort Company, and…” Lin Yan looked at the weak Noble Realm cultivator who was lying against the wall and was injured by him. He frowned slightly. “Yang Zheng of the Green Alliance… Where are the others?”
“They’re all dead. They either ran into the poisonous fog to die or starved to death…”
Hong Xi looked at the excessively young man in front of him with fear in his eyes. He did not dare to underestimate him anymore.
In that instant just now, the terrifying aura emitted from his body was simply similar to that of the terrifying fake City Lord!
No, this guy might be even more terrifying…
Thinking of this, he shivered even more.
Lin Yan frowned.
Contrary to his expectations, this group of people was clearly not the people who lived in the tents on the way here.
According to them, they were all high and mighty Noble Realm martial masters in Ding’an City previously. Two to three months ago, during the unforeseen event in Ding’an City, they were captured by the fake city lord in one fell swoop and captured to this dark underground mine, becoming tragic miners.
They did not have any antidote either. They were completely relying on the power of the Noble Realm to resist the poisonous fog and were purely wasting their lives mining.
It was no wonder that the defense of the Noble Realm was so weak. It was a little troublesome that the guy had been injured by his punch.
“Wait, you said that someone ran into the poisonous fog and was poisoned to death?”
Hong Xi nodded and smiled wanly. “Yes, someone couldn’t stand this humiliation and barged into the poisonous fog. He never came back.”
Lin Yan rubbed his fingers slightly, but his eyes slowly turned serious.
According to the strength of the Noble Realm, if he really entered the poisonous fog, he would definitely be able to pass through the last seven to eight sections.
However, before the Netherworld River changed paths, the poisonous fog was too long for their force to support themselves.
If they died in the tunnel in the end, he would definitely see corpses along the way.
However, along the way, there was not a single corpse, just like the people from the Netherworld River’s camps…
So, did they really jump into the Netherworld River?
Looking at the surrounding rock walls that were covered in layers of blue light, Lin Yan increasingly felt that the Netherworld River was indescribably strange.
He put these aside for the time being.
He asked, “Tell me about the fake City Lord. Is he… also in this underground tunnel?”
Hong Xi didn’t dare to hide anything. “More than ten days ago, the fake city lord was seriously injured. He lost his hand and fled underground. A few days ago, I heard a lot of huge commotion. The rumbling was intense, as if a large number of people were moving. However, we couldn’t leave our original location, so we didn’t know what happened.”
“Moving?”
Lin Yan recalled that the fake City Lord had captured many people in Ding’an City. Why did he transfer those people?
“Since the fake City Lord was seriously injured, why didn’t you run?”
Hong Xi revealed an awkward expression. The fake City Lord was powerful, but they were not stopped by this fake City Lord!
The strange sharp-clawed bamboo men watched over them tightly!
He finished explaining in detail.
Lin Yan frowned even more.
Giant Spirit Soldier?
It was even divided into Type One and Type Two?
The first type must be the strange person with long limbs from before. The second type was an extremely resistant and fast bamboo stick man. Even a Noble Realm cultivator was not their match?
He was getting more and more confused. It was fine if martial arts were extraordinary, but now, there was even a biochemical weapon?
“By the way, I wonder if you guys recognize a Noble Realm martial master, Pang Yinlong?”
“Pang Yinlong!” Hong Xi’s expression changed again with a hint of fear in his eyes.
“Hmm? You know him?”
“I know. His end… is the most miserable! Now that he has been taken away by the fake city lord, it seems that they’re doing… an experiment of the Giant Divine Soldier on him!”
Giant Divine Soldier?!
It sounded much stronger than the Giant Spirit Soldiers. It was unknown if he was dead or alive.
Lin Yan sighed slightly. Eldest Senior Brother respected Pavilion Master Pang like a kind father. He wondered how he would react when he heard this news.
Lin Yan walked to Yang Zheng, who was lying on the ground, and kicked him. “Can you move?”
Yang Zheng’s face was pale, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. “Yes, yes!”
He struggled to stand up, his body swaying.
Lin Yan glanced at the three of them and said in a low voice, “Do you want to die or live?”
“I want to live!”
Their eyes lit up. When they saw Lin Yan, they knew that he had come from the other end of the long poisonous fog. He definitely had the antidote!
“If you want to live, go back to mining and pretend you don’t know anything!”
The expressions of the three people changed again, especially Yang Zheng. His eyes were filled with anxiety. “I, I’m injured. My force is not enough to support it. If I enter the poisonous fog again, I’m afraid I’ll die inside!”
Hong Xi quickly said, “Sir, you must have a way to detoxify the poison, right? Please take us out, we…”
Lin Yan frowned slightly. “Wouldn’t bringing you out alert the enemy and let them escape? If you really want to live, stay here obediently. I’ll get someone to help. Do you know who severely injured the fake City Lord? I will invite that person.”
The fear in their eyes eased a little.
Lin Yan looked at Yang Zheng. “Of course, you’re truly in a lot of danger.”
He reached into his pocket and took out three antidotes he had obtained from Ning Xiaohui. “These are three antidotes. They’re enough to protect you from the poison for a period of time. Wait for help.”
The three of them immediately relaxed and reached out to take it.
“Wait.” Lin Yan put away the poison and said indifferently, “This antidote is worth tens of thousands of gold.. Don’t tell me you want to take away the extremely precious antidote just like that?”
