Chapter 871: Chapter 865: The Entire Army Annihilated

The earthen stove had been in Brother Zhuo’s room all night, and then he had died; she had only begun to feel unwell after entering this side chamber.

Regardless, she needed to leave here quickly.

She pressed the mechanism to open the door, but found it malfunctioned, and the door wouldn’t budge at all.

Gu Youyou picked up a rock and completely destroyed the mechanism, thinking, ’If I’m going to die, I’m not letting it out.’

The others watched Gu Youyou with nervous and fearful eyes. Having killed Zhuo Qing and making such a mess—if she succeeded, it would be fine, but if she failed, they were surely doomed.

That was when two men in black emerged from the other side chambers, hearing the commotion. Seeing Gu Youyou holding a rock and knocking on the door, they quickly crossed over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Gu Youyou, looking terrified, said, "The two Daoists inside are trapped, the door won’t open."

The two men checked the stone door, seeing that she had destroyed the mechanism; obviously, it wouldn’t open.

Furious, one began, "You—" Seeking death.

But as soon as he uttered "You," his words stuck in his throat, unable to continue.

Searcy, holding a silver needle, accurately inserted it into the backs of their necks.

This was Gu Youyou’s defensive silver needle, tipped with an anesthetic that could instantly incapacitate someone when it hit an acupoint.

Only Searcy could locate each acupuncture point with such precision here, and he wouldn’t falter given his psychological resilience.

With all four men down, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Gui Yunxi, whose incompetence made Zhuo Qing unguarded.

They collapsed on the ground, asking, "What do we do now?"

Gu Youyou said, "The two inside are definitely dead, these two are just unconscious. Find some rope and tie them up."

But Searcy drew a sword from one of the unconscious men in black and said, "Why bother with such trouble? Killing them ensures they won’t be a problem ever again."

Before her words even finished, her blade had already sliced one man’s throat.

Blood instantly spurted out, a shocking sight.

The women screamed in fright at her action, and even Gu Youyou was stunned.

At that moment, Searcy stabbed the other man in the neck, causing blood to pour freely.

It took Gu Youyou a while to recover her composure, then she said, "Since they’re dead... let’s leave them dead. We need to move quickly and get out of here."

The group successfully escaped the ancient tomb, traversed the tomb’s passage, and finally saw sunlight.

The morning sunlight was remarkably clear, sweeping away the moldy smell that had accumulated on them from days inside the tomb.

Facing the mountain sunrise, they were all in awe.

Thinking that they might never see sunlight again in their lifetimes, they relished the moment.

"Let’s hurry!"

Gu Youyou helped Searcy, who was limping a bit.

Searcy, seeing Gui Yunxi still dazed, said, "You fool, lead the way. We were all blindfolded when we were brought here; only you know the way back."

"Ah? I...I was terrified at the time, I didn’t remember it." Looking around, there were mountains everywhere. He wasn’t a dog; how could he remember where?

"You’re this stupid?" Searcy uttered irritably.

Gu Youyou softly said, "Don’t blame him. The mountain paths here are complex; it’s normal for him not to remember. Besides, we shouldn’t go back the way we came, in case that old pervert comes back. What then?"

Hearing Gu Youyou say this, Searcy refrained from blaming Gui Yunxi further.

"So, which way do we go?"

Gu Youyou looked around at the mountain terrain, thinking that if it weren’t for the need to flee, this was actually quite a good place.
