Chapter 380: Gunshots in the Retrograde Passage
With the full cooperation of the Free King, a few hours later, Zhang Baiqiang and others were standing at the entrance of the retrograde passage.
This is an underground gap caused by geological movement. The gap is naturally formed, just like a sliver of sky I have seen.
It is very simple for the dead souls to walk through this passage, because the dead souls have no body and are not bound by gravity. They can easily follow the retrograde passage into Middle-earth.
But it is relatively difficult for living people to take this road.
Many places require climbing or the use of ropes and other tools.
Even some sections of the passage are so narrow that they have to be dug manually.
This retrograde passage is located near Jigui City and has always been under the jurisdiction of Fengdu.
But after the Freedom Alliance captured Jigui City, they took control of this passage.
According to the Free King, this passage has been simply repaired, with simple steps dug into some vertical cliffs and even ropes hanging down.
Areas that are not suitable for public access have also been widened.
These tasks were all done by the Fengdu ghost soldiers, and the reason why they did this was simply to transport some traded materials from the middle of the country.
After all, the wider the road, the more materials can pass through efficiently.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the exit at the other end of this passage in Yangshi is located in Yimeng Mountain.
It belongs to the territory of eastern Shandong.
Anyway, I have never heard of the entrance to the retrograde passage in Yimeng Mountain.
After sorting out our equipment, eating and drinking, Zhang Baiqiang and others set foot on the retrograde passage to Middle-earth without looking back.
At the beginning, they were accompanied by free ghost soldiers from the Freedom Alliance. They were responsible for guiding the road and also had escort duties.
With their help, we walked very easily in the retrograde passage.
But even so, this road took us a full five days.
It wasn't until they saw an underground river sloping downward that the accompanying free ghost soldiers stopped.
The leading ghost soldier told me that the river is called Yishui, and that going up the river is the territory of Mengyin.
The territory of Mengyin belongs to the Tie family's sphere of influence, and they cannot send it any further.
I thanked the ghost soldiers, took out another small box, and said, "My friend, you have been working hard all the way. This thing is a soothing incense. It is not a precious thing, but it can help the souls of the dead stabilize their souls."
The ghost soldiers were pleasantly surprised. They looked at each other, but still didn't dare to answer.
I smiled, put the things on the ground casually, and said, "Brother Zhang, let's go!"
Then we walked forward along the river channel washed out by the Yishui River.
The river water is warm and does not have the cold and biting feeling of the Styx River, which shows that it is very close to the ground.
After walking for a while, the road was gradually submerged by the river and turned into a waterway.
Fortunately, the river was not deep, only waist deep at most. We waded through the water in rows. After a while, we felt a cold wind blowing towards us.
There is wind, which means we are near the exit.
I looked at the time and found that it was past three in the morning, and it was still dark, so I couldn't see the sun.
But the joy of seeing the sun again filled my heart.
After being kidnapped by Xie Kun, many things happened in Middle-earth, but I finally came back. While I was thinking about it, suddenly there was a flash of light in front of me. I was shocked and stopped immediately.
The light was very much like that emitted by a flashlight.
How could anyone come to this damn place?
The Free King told me at the beginning that this retrograde passage had been abandoned for who knows how many years, and basically no one in Middle-earth knew about it.
If we go out, there is a high probability that we will not be intercepted by the demon-suppressing soldiers.
As soon as I stretched out my hand, Zhang Baiqiang and others immediately stopped. I squinted my eyes and looked forward, and unexpectedly heard two gunshots.
The sound of gunshots seemed extremely dull in the relatively closed retrograde passage. Immediately afterwards, someone in front said angrily: "I am an exorcist disciple of Lu Dongtie's family!" "I
am also a member of the evil punishment team! You bastards, don't be afraid. Are the Secret Bureau and the Tie Family coming to settle a score with you?"
The passage was extremely noisy, so it was buzzing when I heard it. It wasn't very real, but that was the general meaning.
Zhang Baiqiang and I looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Ludong Tiejia.
There is a famous exorcist family in China, and its head is the Demon Suppressor of the Ludong Branch!
Not to mention that the opponent is still a member of the evil punishment team.
The Evil Punishment Squad is one of the ten elite squads in Middle-earth. Those who can join it must be at least C-level, maybe even B-level!
Zhang Baiqiang whispered: "Save or not?"
I reminded: "The other party has a gun!"
Zhang Baiqiang sneered: "Gun? When my brothers were playing with guns, they might have pointed out where they were peeing in the mud."
Only then did I realize that Zhang Baiqiang and his four brothers were ruthless bandits who roamed the world.
Guns are leftover from people’s play, but now people are starting to play with high-explosive bombs and sniper rifles!
If you use a gun in front of them, you probably don't know how to die, right?
I said without hesitation: "Save people first!"
Since he was a disciple of Lu Dongtie's family and a member of the elite tenth squad, the person chasing him was probably not a good person.
Zhang Baiqiang ordered: "Second child, third child, fourth child, you go over!"
"Don't kill people yet, try to catch them all alive!"
The three gangsters nodded, quietly sank, and had already escaped into the water up to their waists. , quietly approaching the front.
I said: "Let's go! Go and have a look."
"If the other party has methods similar to those of the Nanhai Curse Master, I'm afraid these brothers will suffer a loss."
Dare to attack Lu Dongtie's family, must be related to the exorcism circle.
Nowadays, Middle-earth is in a mess, and all kinds of monsters and monsters dare to appear.
Among other things, most of the murderers who were wanted in the past have now returned to Middle-earth.
The reason is very simple. The Secret Bureau is busy with internal strife and dealing with the old gods, and has no time to trouble them.
As far as I know, Twilight crept into Middle-earth as early as the opening of the Exorcist Conference.
