Chapter 97 Chase
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing sped up, gradually closing the distance with the mysterious man.
The mysterious man seemed to be aware of the approach from behind, and his steps became more and more flustered.
"Don't run, you can't escape!"
Ye Wenjing shouted loudly.
"You are seriously injured. If you run again, you will die..."
However, the mysterious man turned a deaf ear and ran forward desperately.
At this moment, Jiang Lingyin suddenly slipped and almost fell.
Ye Wenjing quickly reached out to support her: "Be careful!"
During this short delay, the mysterious man put some distance between them and him.
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing once again mustered up their strength and chased after him.
Just when they were about to catch up, the mysterious man suddenly went into a deep cave.
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing stopped at the entrance of the cave and looked at each other, their eyes full of vigilance.
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing entered the cave carefully.
The cave was filled with a damp smell and the light was dim.
I could only rely on the faint moonlight to barely see the road.
After taking a few steps, I heard a rustling sound.
Jiang Lingyin clenched the black iron sword in his hand and whispered, "Be careful, it may be dangerous."
Ye Wenjing nodded and held the sword in his hand horizontally in front of him.
Suddenly, a group of bats flew over their heads, and Jiang Lingyin's heart skipped a beat.
As they continued to move forward, the ground beneath their feet became slippery and they could fall if they were not careful.
Going further in, there are several forks in the road ahead.
Jiang Lingyin asked Mengduo again in her mind, and Mengduo told her that the mysterious man's breath was at the fork on the far left.
The two went deeper along the leftmost fork, but found that the road was getting narrower and narrower, and they could only pass sideways.
At this moment, Ye Wenjing suddenly felt a chill on his head.
I raised my hand and touched it, and it was actually a drop of water.
Suddenly, a mysterious voice came from the front: "Don't come over here, or I will activate the mechanism and let you all die here!"
Jiang Lingyin sneered: "Do you think you can scare us like this?"
Saying that, he continued to move forward.
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing continued forward without fear, only to see a mysterious man standing in a narrow corner, with some strange runes flashing around him.
Ye Wenjing stared at the mysterious man warily and said, "Don't make any more meaningless struggles. Just surrender."
The mysterious man laughed crazily: "Dream on! Once this mechanism is activated, you will all die!"
As he spoke, he reached out for a stone next to him.
At this moment, Jiang Lingyin flashed and rushed over quickly, trying to stop the mysterious man.
However, the mysterious man still pressed the stone, and in an instant, bursts of roars were heard all around.
Large and small rocks fell from the top of the cave, and Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing hurriedly dodged.
Ye Wenjing swung his sword to split a huge rock that was falling towards them and shouted loudly: "Watch out for your heads!"
Jiang Lingyin dodged the stones nimbly while approaching the mysterious man.
The mysterious man tried to escape during the chaos, but was tripped by Jiang Lingyin.
Ye Wenjing rushed over, put the sword against the mysterious man's neck, and said coldly: "You can't run away now."
Just when they thought the crisis was over, the ground suddenly began to shake violently.
The ground was shaking more and more violently, and Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing almost lost their balance.
"What is going on?" Jiang Lingyin frowned.
Ye Wenjing looked around and said, "I'm afraid the mechanism just now triggered the mountain collapse."
At this time, cracks began to appear on the cave walls, and debris continued to fall.
Jiang Lingyin was extremely anxious: "We must find a way to leave here as soon as possible!"
They took the mysterious man and tried to find an exit.
However, in this chaos, the road became more difficult to discern.
Suddenly, a deep ravine appeared ahead, blocking their way.
Ye Wenjing looked around and found some protruding rocks nearby that could be used as footholds.
"Let's go through here!" Ye Wenjing said, and jumped over first.
Jiang Lingyin stared at the mysterious man closely, fearing that he would take the opportunity to escape.
With Ye Wenjing's assistance, Jiang Lingyin and the mysterious man also successfully crossed the ravine.
Just as they continued to move forward, a strong airflow came from behind with a huge impact force.
The strong airflow made them unstable. Jiang Lingyin staggered and almost fell.
Ye Wenjing quickly reached out to grab her and shouted, "Be careful!"
The mysterious man took this opportunity to try to break free, but Jiang Lingyin pulled him back and shouted angrily, "Behave yourself!"
They struggled to move forward against the air current, and the cave walls around them collapsed more and more severely.
A huge rock rolled down and hit them.
Ye Wenjing was quick-witted and quick-handed. He pulled Jiang Lingyin and the mysterious man to the side. The rocks passed by them, bringing up a gust of wind.
"This is not a solution, we have to find an exit quickly!" Jiang Lingyin shouted.
Ye Wenjing nodded, searching eagerly. Finally, not far ahead, they saw a faint light.
"That might be the exit!" Ye Wenjing said excitedly.
The three of them ran desperately towards the light, with roars and sounds of collapse coming from behind them.
They were getting closer and closer to the light.
But at this moment, another huge rock seemed to be crumbling above their heads.
Ye Wenjing suddenly pushed Jiang Lingyin and the mysterious man away, and rolled over to avoid them.
The huge rock fell down with a loud bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Ye Wenjing!"
Jiang Lingyin shouted anxiously.
"I'm fine, let's go!"
Ye Wenjing got up from the ground, covered in dust and shouting.
They didn't dare to stop for a moment and continued to run towards the exit.
Finally, they rushed out of the cave.
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing were breathing heavily, while the mysterious man collapsed to the ground, seemingly having given up resistance.
"It's finally out."
Jiang Lingyin looked at the sky and sighed.
Ye Wenjing looked at the mysterious man and said, "Next, it's time to get the truth out of him."
Jiang Lingyin looked at the mysterious man and said, "I can see that you hate everyone in Xiangyun Village.
You even poisoned and tortured them for twenty years, making the villagers believe that all this was the curse of that woman twenty years ago. Why did you do this?"
The mysterious man raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment and pain.
But he kept his lips tightly shut and said nothing.
Jiang Lingyin stepped forward and pressed him, "Tell me! What is your purpose? Why do you treat innocent villagers like this? Who are you?"
Ye Wenjing also said, "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in hiding anything. Just tell the truth."
The mysterious man snorted coldly and remained silent.
Jiang Lingyin's patience was running out. She clenched her fists and said, "There are hundreds of innocent people in Xiangyun Village. Why did you poison them?"
The mysterious man couldn't bear it any longer and looked at Jiang Lingyin angrily.
He raised his hand and took off the human skin mask.
