After some time, Zhou Yingxue slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she realized that her hands and feet were tied by something and her body was covered by some weeds.
What was going on? Such a question flashed through her mind.
Soon, he remembered what was going on.
He had been knocked unconscious by that person called Brother He with a single blow!
So where was he now? This question flashed through her mind again.
But with her limited vision, she couldn't answer this question at all.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the front. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Finally, the other party stopped in front of her.
"Miss Zhou, you've suffered," the person in front of her suddenly said.
Zhou Yingxue recognized him as Brother He.
What happened while he was unconscious? Why did Brother He tie his hands and feet? Has he already defiled me during this period of time? All sorts of questions flashed through Zhou Yingxue's mind.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
She didn't want her body to be given to such a person for no reason.
Gritting her teeth, she said coldly, "What do you want?"
Since the other party had tied her hands and feet, he was definitely not a good person.
"Miss Zhou, don't worry, I won't hurt you," Brother He said.
As the other party spoke, he moved the weeds away from Zhou Yingxue's body. At this moment, Zhou Yingxue could clearly see that the other party was indeed Brother He, the one who had knocked her down with a single slash.
"If you don't hurt me, then let me go." Zhou Yingxue frowned.
"Let you go? That won't do. "The other party shook his head.
"Then what exactly do you want?" Zhou Yingxue asked.
"Very simple, I want you to hand over your body to me!" The other party suddenly laughed sinisterly.
"I don't even know who you are, so why would I do that?" Zhou Yingxue couldn't help but ask.
Of course, even if she knew who the other party was, she wouldn't give her body to him. First of all, the other party's actions had already made her feel disgusted.
"That's not up to you." The other party chuckled again.
It was obvious that the other party intended to use force.
However, Zhou Yingxue heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. Since he said that, nothing should have happened during this period of time.
"Why did you do this?" Zhou Yingxue couldn't help but ask.
"Why? First of all, you're a great beauty. I won't reject a beauty like you. Secondly, you are the third princess of the Icy Peak Country. With such an identity, I will not refuse, "the other party said.
"Since you know that I'm the Third Princess of the Icepeak Country, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will come after you? Even if he sends an expert who can activate the Rank 4 Ice Talisman, you won't be a match for him!" Zhou Yingxue said coldly.
"I do indeed have such a worry. However, you don't have to worry. During this period of time when the rice is cooked, no one will find out, much less the people of the Imperial City. At that time, if you give birth to a white and chubby boy for me, could it be that the Emperor will kill his grandson's father?" The other party chuckled again.
His words caused Zhou Yingxue to tremble, and she was afraid that he would really do that. She hurriedly said, "Even if that's the case, it's still a stain on the royal family's reputation. As long as you're caught, you'll definitely die!"
"It doesn't matter. Having the blood of the royal family flow in my flesh and blood is something I've always dreamed of," the other party said indifferently.
"You …" Zhou Yingxue was speechless.
"Alright, my little beauty, I'll bring you to a safe place first. When the time comes, I'll spend the rest of my life with you … Hehehe," the other party said with a chuckle.
"There's no safe place in this world of the Subterranean Cavern," Zhou Yingxue hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, I know of such a place. It's in the middle of the Subterranean Cavern. No one will disturb us there," the other party said.
He immediately bent down, as if he wanted to carry Zhou Yingxue away.
It's over! Zhou Yingxue's petite face turned pale when she saw the other party's actions.
It was at this moment that a sound suddenly came from not far in front of her.
This voice immediately made Brother He, who was about to carry her up, stop.
As soon as he stopped, Brother He immediately turned around to look behind him.
At the same time, a voice came from that direction. "Fourth Elder, why is there a sound from that direction? Is Linlong and the others in that direction?"
Fourth Elder? Brother He's heart skipped a beat when he heard the other party's words.
He did not expect the Fourth Elder to appear here. If the Fourth Elder found out that he was plotting against Zhou Yingxue, he would be in big trouble.
However, Brother He, who was unwilling to let go of such an opportunity, did not choose to escape immediately. Instead, he hid behind a tree.
He still wanted to see. If the other party did not come here and did not discover Zhou Yingxue, he would still have a chance.
While he was still in shock, another person's voice rang out. "Mm, let's go and take a look!"
The voice sounded very old.
Although Brother He did not understand the Fourth Elder's voice, he felt that it was most likely the Fourth Elder.
After that, the other party was obviously walking towards him.
The closer the other party got, the faster Brother He's heart beat.
In the end, when he realized that the other party was really walking towards him, Brother He could only choose to turn around and escape.
He did not want to be caught in the act.
Although Zhou Yingxue would definitely cause trouble for him after escaping, it was still better than being caught here. This way, he would still have a chance to escape.
What a waste of such an opportunity! Brother He sighed as he escaped.
Not long after Brother He escaped, a man and a woman appeared in front of Zhou Yingxue.
Zhou Yingxue's gaze was naturally focused on the two of them. When she saw their masks, Zhou Yingxue's face was filled with astonishment. This was because neither of the two of them was the Fourth Elder.
She knew what kind of mask the Fourth Elder wore. Moreover, neither of them was wearing the Fourth Elder's attire.
Zhou Yingxue thought to herself, 'Perhaps the Fourth Elder is behind us.'
At that moment, the woman asked, "Miss Zhou, where is that person?"
"That person ran away after hearing the Fourth Elder's voice," Zhou Yingxue replied.
Hearing her words, the two people who came over heaved a sigh of relief. The man even said, "It's good that he ran away. Let's leave this place quickly."
"Isn't the Fourth Elder here? Why do we have to leave this place quickly?" Zhou Yingxue was puzzled.
She wanted to directly tell the Fourth Elder about this matter.
"Miss Zhou, there's no Fourth Elder. It was just the two of us putting on a show!" The woman said.
A show? After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Yingxue immediately reacted.
Only then did she understand why the Fourth Elder's voice didn't sound like the Fourth Elder's.
She had seen the Fourth Elder once and heard his voice, so she had some impression of the Fourth Elder's voice.
As they spoke, the woman had already untied the ropes on Zhou Yingxue's body.
Then, the woman said, "Miss Zhou, let's quickly escape towards the direction of the exit."
"No, I still have something to do." Zhou Yingxue immediately shook her head.
"Something? What is it, Miss Zhou? "The woman was puzzled.
"Although I'm very grateful to you, this is my personal matter. I won't tell you," Zhou Yingxue said.
"Miss Zhou, don't tell me you came for Big Brother Linlong?" The woman suddenly said.
"Huh? How did you know? "Zhou Yingxue was a little surprised.
After saying that, she immediately regretted it. If the woman told the elders about this matter, wouldn't many people come to capture her?
"Actually, we also snuck in here. Our goal is also Big Brother Linlong," the woman said after glancing at the man beside her.
"Then you are?" Zhou Yingxue was puzzled.
"I'm Zhang Yue," the woman said.
"I'm Shen Jun, we are all Linlong's friends," the man said.
"So it's you guys." Zhou Yingxue completely heaved a sigh of relief.
Based on her understanding of Linlong during this period of time, she knew that he had two such good friends.
"Alright, let's leave this place first. It'll be troublesome if that person notices that something is wrong and rushes back," Shen Jun hurriedly said.
"Okay." Zhou Yingxue nodded, then pointed to the west and said, "Let's escape this way first!"
"Alright." Zhang Yue and Shen Jun nodded in agreement.
Immediately, the three of them sprinted towards the west of the Catacombs.
After running for a while, they only felt relieved when they realized that no one was chasing them.
At this time, they had already reached the border of the west, so they stopped.
After stopping, Zhou Yingxue asked, "The two of you came to look for Linlong. Do you have a way to let him escape?"
"No." Shen Jun shook his head.
"No? Then wouldn't it be useless for you to come here? "Zhou Yingxue was a little speechless.
For example, she knew how to escape. Once she saw Linlong, she would be able to help him.
"Miss Zhang Yue was worried about Brother Lin, so she insisted on coming in no matter what. I had no choice but to follow her in." Shen Jun shrugged.
"I'm satisfied to be able to see Big Brother Linlong," said Zhang Yue.
Zhou Yingxue thought to herself, so she's an infatuated girl.
"Then … Miss Zhou, did you come to find Big Brother Linlong because you have a way to help him escape the Catacombs?" Zhang Yue raised her head and asked.
"Yes, I know a way to leave the Catacombs. Brother Lin should be able to leave the Catacombs safely with this method," Zhou Yingxue said.
"That's great!" Hearing her words, Zhang Yue was overjoyed.
"However, the problem now is that we don't know where Brother Lin is." Zhou Yingxue frowned.
"What should we do?" Zhang Yue couldn't help but worry.
"We can only find him in the Catacombs … I heard that Brother Lin can already activate the Level 4 Ice Talisman. That's why I asked you to escape in this direction!" Zhou Yingxue said as she looked towards the west.
"Big Brother Linlong can already activate the Level 4 Ice Talisman?" Hearing her words, Zhang Yue couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Shen Jun was also extremely surprised.
Only the elders and a few others knew about Linlong's strength. No one in the academy knew about it, so Zhang Yue and Shen Jun naturally didn't know.
"Yes." Zhou Yingxue nodded.
"As expected of my Big Brother Linlong," Zhang Yue said with a face full of joy.
Then, he said with a bitter face, "How should we enter the west to find him?"
Hearing his words, Zhou Yingxue and Shen Jun fell silent. With their strength, they could only activate the Level 2 Ice Talisman. How could they enter the west of the Catacombs?
Just when they were at their wits' end, they suddenly heard a noise behind them. It seemed that someone was chasing in their direction.
"Is that person chasing us?" Zhang Yue and Shen Jun couldn't help but be shocked.
Just now, they heard the conversation between Zhou Yingxue and the other party, so they knew that the other party was plotting against Zhou Yingxue.
"Let's hide first and not move," Zhou Yingxue said in a low voice.
"Yes." Zhang Yue and Shen Jun nodded.
Immediately, the three of them hid at the side.
However, the other party's footsteps were getting closer and closer. Soon, he was not far away from them.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from that direction, "Miss Zhou, I know you're nearby. Don't hide … Also, the other two of you, you actually lied to me just now. If I find you, I'll definitely tear you into pieces!"
It's that person! Hearing that it was Brother He, Zhou Yingxue couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Obviously, the other party noticed that something was wrong and immediately chased after them.
Shen Jun and Zhang Yue naturally also heard it and immediately became even more nervous.
Fortunately, although the other party could roughly determine the direction, he didn't know where they were. Therefore, after wandering around the area for a while, he still couldn't find them.
Not long after, Brother He's voice came from not far away again, "Are the three people not here? Since they're here, we can only look elsewhere!"
Then, the three of them heard Brother He's footsteps leaving.
Hearing that the other party had left, Zhou Yingxue and the other two naturally heaved a sigh of relief.
Afraid that Zhang Yue and Shen Jun would hear them, Zhou Yingxue hurriedly said, "The other party might come back. It's better for us not to move for now."
"Yes." Zhang Yue and Shen Jun nodded.
However, just as they were about to continue to stay here, several fierce beasts suddenly came in their direction from not far away.
These fierce beasts were only first-class fierce beasts, but when they walked over at this time, their expressions changed greatly.
This was because if they fought with these fierce beasts, Brother He would definitely come back.
At that moment, in order to not be discovered by these fierce beasts, the few of them did not even dare to breathe loudly.
However, things did not go according to plan. In the next moment, the fierce beasts discovered them. Once they discovered them, they immediately rushed over.
Zhou Yingxue and the other two could only take out their ice talismans.
In the next moment, their ice talismans started burning. At the same time, waves of cold air attacked the fierce beasts.
In an instant, these few first-class fierce beasts were frozen.
The three of them dealt with these fierce beasts in a very short period of time. What made their expressions turn ugly was the obvious footsteps in the direction where Brother He left.
Obviously, the other party had left and returned.
"Hurry up and leave!" Zhou Yingxue said with a frown.
After saying that, he turned around and ran to the right. Zhang Yue and Shen Jun hurriedly followed behind him.
