1814 Demanding an explanation (1)
The cave became quiet again because the survivors couldnât break out of the cave, so they could only wait for help.
If an ordinary person encountered this situation, they probably wouldnât be able to hold on for long. However, it was nothing to cultivators.
...
Even in such a desperate situation, they could still hold on for a year and a half. However, if the time was too long, even cultivators would die without question.
There were also some ordinary people among the survivors. They naturally couldnât compare to the cultivators, but under the care of the cultivators, it wasnât a problem for them to hold on for a while.
If this had happened to the Lou Cheng cultivators, they might have found a way to escape. The all-encompassing skills of the Lou Cheng cultivators were enough for them to deal with all kinds of special situations.
In the world of artisans, cultivators paid more attention to strength than techniques, and their fighting methods were pitifully simple.
Otherwise, a simple stone to mud divine spell would be enough to open up a new passage and allow everyone to see the light of day again.
âGet that Tang Zhen to come out, we want to get an explanation from him!â
While he was discussing a problem with Leah, a shout suddenly came from outside, causing Tang Zhen to frown slightly.
âWhatâs going on? it seems to be the people who stole the seven-colored Sea Dragon?â
A questioning look appeared on Leahâs face. When she turned to look at Tang Zhen, she saw that he had already stood up and was walking out.
âThere must be a reason why these few fellows suddenly want to find me. I should go out and take a look.â
As Tang Zhen spoke, he had already walked out of the door.
However, at this moment, he seemed to sense an unusual aura that suddenly appeared and then disappeared.
it seems to be the aura of a King-tier creature, but itâs very strange. Could it be that sea monster? â
Tang Zhen thought for a moment and denied such a guess.
He didnât believe that the sea monster would have the courage to return to the deep pit after being scared away by him. That was simply courting death.
Perhaps something had sneaked in, but the survivors were too weak to sense it.
Although he didnât know what it was, Tang Zhen didnât care. As long as this thing didnât provoke him, he wouldnât bother with it.
All King-level and above creatures had considerable intelligence. It probably wouldnât dare to act rashly after sensing his presence.
A group of people had already gathered in the open space outside the door.
Four of the dark and thin manâs accomplices stood together. Their bodies reeked of alcohol as they looked at Tang Zhen with angry and frightened eyes.
After seeing Tang Zhenâs appearance, they immediately shouted, Tang Zhen, we didnât take the seven-colored Sea Dragon. The main culprit is already dead. Why donât you let us go? â
Tang Zhen swept his eyes over the other party. He frowned slightly and said,âWhy do you say that? could it be that one of your companions has met with an accident?â
After three of them were killed by Tang Zhen, there were still five people left on the other side. However, only four of them had come. Clearly, the one who had not come had a problem.
âYouâre still acting dumb at this point!â
Although they were afraid of Tang Zhenâs methods, they still had to fight for a chance to live no matter how terrified they were in their hearts when their lives were in danger.
Because if they didnât do so, they might really lose their lives.
One of the men looked aggrieved and shouted in an indignant tone, â âEvery injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. The person who took your things is already dead, so why are you still bitterly forcing us?
Donât think that just because youâre strong, you can bully us at will. At worst, weâll fight to the death!â
The four men looked like they were being bullied and looked very pitiful. They tried to gain the sympathy of the surrounding people.
Seeing the four menâs sorrowful tone and miserable appearance, the surrounding people couldnât bear to see it.
At the same time, he was also secretly guessing whether Tang Zhen had really done something. Otherwise, why would these few men act like this?
âCut the crap. What exactly happened? tell me clearly!
If you continue to babble, Iâll pull out your tongues!â
Tang Zhen coldly said, ignoring the other partyâs pretentiousness.
Rivers and mountains were easy to change, but a personâs nature was difficult to change. This group of people would definitely not give up so easily.
He reckoned that they were still discussing how to deal with him in private and take his wealth.
Tang Zhen had let them live until now because he didnât want to leave a cruel impression on Leah. That would be very disadvantageous to the next step of the plan.
After hearing Tang Zhenâs reprimand, the four men trembled and said in a trembling voice,âOne of our companions suddenly disappeared. We were drinking together a moment ago, but when we woke up, we couldnât find him even after searching the entire cave.
Thereâs no exit here, so he canât get out at all. Other than being killed and hidden, I really canât think of a reason for his disappearance.â
When that person said this, he looked at Tang Zhen. The suspicion on his face was extremely obvious. After all, only Tang Zhen had a grudge against them.
âYour legs are your own, and now that your people are gone, youâre coming to settle scores with me? what kind of logic is this?
Do you think Iâm easy to bully? or do you really think I donât dare to kill you?â
Tang Zhenâs tone was as cold as ice. This matter was indeed unrelated to him. How could he allow the other party to speak nonsense?
âBut Yingluo, you are the only one here who has a grudge with us, so we can only suspect you Yingluo.â
Hearing Tang Zhenâs question, the four of them shrunk their necks and stammered.
Leah walked over, glanced at the four of them, and said in a calm tone, â âTang Zhen was with us earlier. My companions can testify to this. Therefore, your companionâs disappearance has absolutely nothing to do with him!â
The other members of the adventurer team also nodded, indicating that they could testify. Tang Zhen had never left their line of sight.
The four men were stunned when they heard this. If this matter was really not done by Tang Zhen, then where did their companions go?
Could it be that other than Tang Zhen, there was someone else who wanted to take their lives?
After thinking of this possibility, the four of them felt a chill in their hearts. Everyone looked like they wanted to take their lives.
âFirst, tell me what happened. Donât rush to make a conclusion.
Donât forget about the sea monster that had appeared earlier. No one could be sure if it had really left.
If itâs still here and secretly attacks your companion, we must be extra careful.â
Leah looked at the four men with a grave expression as she spoke.
Since there had been sea monsters before, there was no guarantee that there would not be other monsters. The missing man was most likely killed by the monsters.
This Island was formed after the creation ball shattered, and it bred all kinds of strange creatures. It was definitely not a strange thing for a monster that they didnât understand to secretly harm people.
The other guests nodded in agreement. This was a matter of life and death, so they had to be careful.
Looking at the deep pits not far away, their eyes were full of vigilance, afraid that monsters would climb out of them in the next second.
After hearing Leahâs words, the four of them didnât dare to hide anything and quickly recounted what had happened.
In fact, they didnât know much. They only remembered that they had been drinking together. When they woke up, one of them had disappeared.
When they realized that their partner was missing, they didnât care at first, thinking that he had gone to pee.
But after waiting for half a day, they still didnât see anyone return. Only then did they realize that something wasnât right.
After that, the four of them searched the cave, but they could not find any trace of their companion.
They, who already had enmity with Tang Zhen, immediately thought that this was Tang Zhenâs revenge. After discussing with each other, they directly came to find him.
It was not that they were not afraid of Tang Zhen. Instead, they intended to use such a method to make Tang Zhen not dare to continue fighting under the supervision of everyone.
If they didnât dare to make a sound out of fear, then even if they all died, no one would know who the real murderer was.
Therefore, their current actions were not reckless. Instead, it was a choice that he had made after careful consideration.
