Chapter 259: Falling into a Trap
It just so happened that the underground space was also very strange, and his perception was completely unable to detect the situation inside!
However, due to the previous rash attack, he did not dare to go down and investigate easily, so he could only wait outside.
But his patience was almost worn out. If there was no news, he would go down to confirm the situation even if he took another risk.
At this moment, the sound transmission jade slip on Mu Yun's waist suddenly sent out a spiritual power fluctuation. He quickly picked it up and saw that it was Jiang Wuye's sound transmission.
"They want to break out of the cave!" Jiang Wuye's emotionless voice sounded.
After hearing Jiang Wuye's sound transmission, Mu Yun's first time was not to block the cave entrance, but immediately performed a secret technique to determine the location of Jiang Wuye's jade slip.
...
Seeing that Jiang Wuye had finished the sound transmission, Duan Qing grabbed the sound transmission jade slip without hesitation, turned his palm into a knife, and hit Jiang Wuye's neck heavily, knocking Jiang Wuye unconscious directly.
Without waiting to explain to everyone, he directly carried Jiang Wuye and ran towards the distant river.
Su Yutong and the other three were confused, and quickly followed Duan Qing and ran towards the river.
Duan Qing ran ahead, secretly took out the mysterious metal on the way, put it in Jiang Wuye's lower abdomen, and then sucked all his Qi Hai spiritual power in Xumijian, and then quietly put away the mysterious metal.
Soon, Duan Qing was the first to reach the river, stuffed the sound transmission jade slip into Jiang Wuye's clothes on his chest, and then threw Jiang Wuye directly into the water, leaving the unconscious Jiang Wuye to be washed away by the current.
"What the hell?"
Among the four people who caught up, Huang Zhi couldn't help but question Duan Qing first, and the other three, including Su Yutong, looked at Duan Qing with curiosity.
"I'll explain it later, first enter the clean bottle!" Duan Qing said and directly offered the cold water clean bottle. Once it was activated, the palm-sized clean bottle immediately swelled up, and in the blink of an eye it swelled to several feet.
After doing all this, he took the lead in stepping into the clean bottle. Seeing this, Su Yutong and others had no choice but to follow him.
After everyone entered the bottle, Duan Qing immediately controlled the cold water bottle to fly to the top of the rock. In a breath, it crossed hundreds of feet and arrived at the cave entrance opened by Mu Yun and others. It was steadily suspended at the entrance of the cave, and the bottle was hidden close to the top of the rock.
The bottle suddenly began to spray cold air, which made everyone even more confused.
"Uh, unexpected!" Duan Qing explained with a blush.
He wanted to make the bottle transparent to observe the situation outside, just like when True Man Qingchen took everyone to fly before, but he was not familiar with the bottle and touched other spiritual patterns.
Fortunately, Su Yutong saw what Duan Qing was thinking and took out a jade slip from True Man Qingchen's storage bracelet and handed it to Duan Qing.
"It contains various methods of controlling the bottle. It was made by the predecessors of Jingshui Peak who refined the cold water bottle when refining the bottle. It has been passed down from generation to generation with the bottle in Jingshui Peak." Su Yutong explained.
Duan Qing took the jade slip, gave it a thankful look, and directly put the jade slip on his forehead. In a few breaths, he read the contents of the jade slip and memorized it.
After throwing the jade slip back to Senior Sister Su, Duan Qing tried to make a hand gesture awkwardly, and the bottle of water gradually became transparent, and the surrounding situation was clearly visible!
At this moment, three figures suddenly descended from the cave entrance. They were Mu Yun and his three companions!
Mu Yun and his three companions approached the underground space again. Seeing that there was no trace of the eight-legged monster group outside the cave entrance, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
When the three flew out of the cave entrance for more than ten feet in one breath, before they could see the surrounding environment clearly, they felt something moving above their heads. When they looked up, they saw that the cold water bottle had rushed into the cave!
I was fooled!
Mu Yun Zhenren's face was full of frost, and his face was so gloomy that water could drip out. He immediately chased the bottle in the cave.
The plan was successful!
Duan Qing showed a happy expression, and used all his strength to urge the cold water bottle to fly upwards. The cave dug by Mu Yun and others was really large, and the cold water bottle could fly inside it without any restrictions.
He had asked Jiang Wuye to send a message to Master Mu Yun on purpose.
As early as when he captured Jiang Wuye, he guessed that Master Mu Yun would be suspicious of Jiang Wuye after being attacked for the first time when he entered the underground space.
Jiang Wuye had not contacted Master Mu Yun since then, which would undoubtedly increase this suspicion. If Jiang Wuye suddenly sent a message to Master Mu Yun at this time, and also said that everyone wanted to break through, how would he react?
Duan Qing felt that he would most likely doubt the authenticity of what Jiang Wuye said, and the most direct way to verify Jiang Wuye's words was naturally to determine his position and see if he was really breaking through.
Since he came to the underground space, his perception has always been blocked. Master Mu Yun probably couldn't know the situation in the underground space purely by perception, and he must have used other special methods to determine Jiang Wuye's position.
Although he didn't know how Master Mu Yun did this and followed everyone here, he could be sure that his method of determining the location was definitely related to Jiang Wuye.
That's why he knocked Jiang Wuye unconscious and threw him and his sound transmission jade slip into the river, letting them drift down with the waves to interfere with Master Mu Yun's judgment.
The reason why he didn't kill Jiang Wuye was that he was afraid that Master Mu Yun's method of determining the location would become invalid after Jiang Wuye died.
If Master Mu Yun noticed that Jiang Wuye's position had changed, his normal reaction would definitely be that Jiang Wuye was deceiving him, and that everyone was not breaking through, but fleeing to another place.
Once Master Mu Yun thought so, Duan Qing's plan would be half successful.
Because if Master Mu Yun suspected that everyone was fleeing to another place, he would naturally not wait at the entrance of the cave and wait for death. The feasible approach would be to continue tracking on the ground or simply go down to the underground space to pursue.
No matter what method he chooses, it is a good thing for Duan Qing. Even if he is more cautious and leaves someone outside to guard, it is much better than breaking through directly and facing three people in the state of mind.
Of course, this is just Duan Qing's most idealistic guess.
But even if Master Mu Yun is not fooled, he will not lose much. Anyway, a normal breakout will also face the blockade of three people. There is almost no difference between informing in advance and not informing in advance.
In fact, his plan is very crude. It is simply to use Master Mu Yun's suspicion of Jiang Wuye to lure the tiger away from the mountain. It does not stand up to scrutiny after careful consideration.
From Master Mu Yun's point of view, if everyone really escapes from somewhere else in the underground space, why would they send a message to break through in a strange way!
Isn't this just taking off pants to fart, a superfluous move?
If you really want to leave, just sneak away!
And the unconscious Jiang Wuye is going down with the waves. How fast can he be? It does not fit the image of escaping at all. If Master Mu Yun realizes Jiang Wuye's speed, this lie will naturally fall apart.
Therefore, Duan Qing did not hold much hope for the success of his plan. In his opinion, the best outcome would be that one or two of Mu Yun and the other two would come down to verify the situation, and he would then take the opportunity to escape. By then, there would be fewer people blocking the cave entrance, which would be better than facing the three people in the Questioning Heart Realm directly.
But he never expected that all of Mu Yun and the other two would come down. This was undoubtedly a blessing from heaven. If he didn't escape now, when would he escape?
