Demon Lord 3

Chapter 1881 Bai Family Dungeon

As expected, what we didn't want to see really happened. Zhou Chuyuan had calculated the time carefully while digging the cave, thinking he could gain the upper hand in another half hour. But unexpectedly, the other side released a powerful force, not for attack, but for communication. Soon, the big guys from that side arrived, seemingly all of them their best, and they trapped us in the cave. I also discovered that the connection to the outside was with our opposing Bai family. Well, we've already walked into their trap. This time, there's no way out. I don't know how to vent my anger. When Zhou Chuyuan's strength was exhausted, he fell into a deep sleep. It will probably be a while before he wakes up. Mie Mie asked me if we should rush out immediately? I shook my head, unsure how far we had to go. A direct confrontation with these people wasn't a good idea; we should save that for the most dire situation. Right now, at worst, we'd be under house arrest or imprisoned—something we expected. If further danger arose, we'd figure something out. Zhou Chuyuan looked quite cute sleeping; I touched his round face and smiled. He hadn't woken up yet. We were locked in the Bai family's dungeon. Someone outside should already know our situation. When we went to the countryside, we brought a few people with us; they should have all gone back to report by now. There should be someone here negotiating, but... The evidence is that even if we're locked up here, our people can't get in to rescue us. So we're in a dilemma. What use are we if we're locked up here? Using us as leverage to blackmail our comrades doesn't seem right, since we don't know anything about the core materials. Our team hasn't thought about the future since it was formed; we've only focused on taking things one step at a time. No one plans several steps ahead, and there's no unified plan. This is a weakness, but also an advantage. Zhou Chuyuan slowly woke up and asked me where we were. I told him we were in a dungeon, and now we're locked up, just waiting to die. I just tried, and he asked if Mie Mie could break through. I said yes, but the power could only be used once, and it was almost useless here. There were no ghosts here, so even the Underworld Emperor was of no use to us. Zhou Chuyuan looked at his own power and sighed helplessly, saying, "I can't use my power either. What I just used was the power I've accumulated over the past half month. If I want to use it again, it will have to wait another month. I can't use demonic energy right now; I can only use the power of my body. Otherwise, I'll have to burn my body." I also told him not to do that. We might have another way out here. He asked me why we were waiting like this, so that people outside couldn't get in. If we didn't send a message outside, they couldn't save us. I told him to broaden his thinking. First of all, we are relatively safe here, and the other side can't easily touch us. We are currently in a state of cold war. If we were truly killed, Zuo Chenwei would definitely be enraged and confront them head-on. This would result in a lose-lose situation, which wouldn't be good for either side. Besides, they might still be able to use us as leverage now, but if they really killed us, they would have no bargaining chips and would only be able to passively take a beating. In a direct confrontation, their strength would not only result in mutual damage but could also lead to a complete defeat. Mie Mie was a little sleepy and went to sleep. I didn't expect the lunch here to be so plentiful. The other side really didn't dare to attack us; they probably wanted to fatten us up and sell us for money. Thinking of this, I smiled slightly, looking at the sumptuous meal, feeling that coming here was worthwhile. The leader we were expecting didn't come; instead, a thin young man came. He wasn't particularly tall, but he was very thin. How thin could he be? To describe it more precisely, it's like a greyhound, but different from the so-called greyhound. It feels like there's no excess flesh or bone on its body. It's as if it has no bones, just flesh, but not much flesh. Zhou Chuyuan whispered to me that this kind of person trains to make their bones very soft and small, almost without any bones. It's the kind of skill that allows them to burrow underground or fly outside. I nodded. It's like the art of passing through walls or burrowing underground. Sure enough, this person's body doesn't seem to have any bones supporting it at all. I realized how difficult it is to master this kind of skill.
