Chapter 1996 Special "Food"
Chapter 1996 Special "Food"
Yin Ding looked at the tense woman in front of him and asked calmly, "How did you get to this island?"
The woman's face was pale to begin with, and after hearing these words, her complexion became even paler, and her eyes were instantly filled with fear.
She swayed and knelt on the ground with a plop, clutching the corner of the silver ingot tightly with both hands, her voice trembling: "Please save me and leave!
This is not an island at all, it's hell!
They don't treat us as human beings, we are just food for the monsters in the cave!"
She became more and more scared as she spoke, tears streaming down her cheeks: “Every day people are dragged to the caves, and no one ever comes back.
I saw with my own eyes the tragic scene when those people were dragged away, and there were strange noises coming from the cave... Please, I don't want to be eaten by the monster!"
Yinding glanced down at her hand clutching the hem of his clothes, then turned his gaze to the two unconscious men not far away and raised his chin: "Do you know these two people?"
The woman followed his gaze and after seeing the two men's faces clearly, her pupils suddenly contracted, her fear deepened, and her voice became tearful: "I know them! They are the executioners of this island!
Many people were dragged to the cave by them. I don’t know how many lives they have on their hands!”
Yinding thought to himself, in that case, killing these two people was not unfair.
He raised his hand to grasp the dagger at his waist and was about to pull it out when the woman suddenly screamed, her face turned as white as paper, and she shrank back abruptly, not daring to look again.
Yinding paused and saw that she was trembling with fear. He glanced around and thought that this was indeed not a place to talk. It would be troublesome if he attracted other people.
He put the dagger away and said, "Get up first and hide in the woods next to you. Don't come out."
The woman nodded quickly, supported herself on the ground and got up, staggering into the grove. After running a few steps, she looked back at the silver ingot.
Yinding watched her hide, then turned and walked towards the two men. He bent down, lifted each man onto his shoulders, and shouted towards the grove, "I'll go deal with these two. You stay inside."
After saying that, he carried the person and walked quickly towards the cave, cursing in his heart: You treat humans as food for monsters, you are really a piece of shit. Today I will let you taste what it feels like to be treated as food!
They soon arrived at the cave. This time, the silver ingot was familiar with the route and made no sound.
Passing by Bone Mountain again, Yinding said to himself: Just wait, I will avenge you sooner or later.
He carried the two men through the dark passage and came to the place where he had seen the monster last time. He swung his arm and threw the two men out.
Almost at the moment the man landed, two red lights lit up in the darkness, like two hanging red lanterns. Then, a low roar came from the depths, like rough sandpaper scraping across the mountain wall.
The next second, the sound of a heavy object hitting something was heard, followed by the "crunch" sound of bones being bitten hard, which was crisp and sharp and kept reaching Yinding's ears.
Yinding stood there, listening to the sound, feeling a pang of pain in his teeth. He subconsciously took two steps back, and without staying any longer, turned around and walked out of the cave quickly.
At the same time, the Su Mansion was quiet.
Huo Changhe was lying on the bed, originally sleeping soundly, but he suddenly opened his eyes with a confused look in his eyes, and he had not yet fully recovered from the dream.
Yan Ruyu, who was beside him, was awakened by his movement. She rubbed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?"
Huo Changhe took a deep breath, still panting slightly. After a moment of silence, he turned to look at Yan Ruyu: "I dreamed of silver ingots."
Yan Ruyu sat up, reached out and gently patted his back, and asked softly, "What's wrong with him?"
"I didn't dream about anything specific, but I dreamed that he was on an island and seemed to be in trouble."
Huo Changhe shook his head, his eyes full of worry: "Yinding has never been out on business before, and it's never been like this time. He has been gone for such a long time and there is still no news.
I always feel uneasy and vaguely worried about him."
Yan Ruyu held his hand and comforted him softly, "Yinding is good at martial arts and smart, so he will be fine. Maybe he is in a special situation and can't pass on the message. Wait a little longer, maybe there will be news tomorrow."
Huo Changhe nodded, but his worries did not diminish.
Before, he was the one who comforted Yan Ruyu, but now it's the other way around.
He was indeed a little impatient, which was rare.
To him, Yinding was not just an ordinary guard, but a brother who grew up with him. They had been through life and death together and had saved each other countless times.
Silver ingots and gold ingots are like his left and right hands, silent but intimate and inseparable.
Just as I was daydreaming, I heard a slight strange noise outside the window.
The two looked at each other, and Huo Changhe immediately got out of bed, put on his clothes and opened the window.
The voice of the secret guard outside the window sounded low: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Huo Changhe said in a deep voice, "Speak."
The secret guard bowed and said with his head down: "Your Highness, Yinding and Wu Liang are currently on Longyin Island and are temporarily safe. Zhou Lie intended to reuse Yinding and fed him poison."
Huo Changhe frowned: "How is he doing?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The silver ingot is not poisoned. With the princess's medicine, this matter is not a crisis."
Huo Changhe breathed a sigh of relief. This was finally good news.
He waved his hand and asked the secret guards to retreat.
Yan Ruyu also put on her clothes, lit the candle in the room, opened the map, and pointed her finger at the three words "Longyin Island".
"This is it."
Huo Changhe's expression gradually darkened, and his eyes became colder.
Yan Ruyu looked at the map. These people really knew how to choose a place. This place is surrounded by water. No matter which direction you go, you will be discovered.
However, this also shows that this place must not be simple, and there must be something important here.
She suddenly thought, could the "Dragon Girl" that Chuntao mentioned be related to this place?
After a moment's thought, Yan Ruyu whispered, "It's dangerous here, and we're isolated and helpless. We have to find a way to save Yin Ding quickly. The situation on the island is unclear, and we can't let him get into danger on the island!"
Huo Changhe's eyes were firm: "I will go to the island myself."
Yan Ruyu thought quickly and realized that this was not impossible. As for her identity, she could disguise herself.
For the people of Rongzhou, the more people who appear and whose origins they cannot figure out, the more anxious and uneasy they will become.
It is easier to reveal flaws.
Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu said firmly: "Okay, let's go together."
Huo Changhe took her into his arms and softened his voice: "We will all be fine, and Yinding will be fine too."
Yan Ruyu naturally also hoped so, but as for how to go and with what identity, she still had to figure out a way.
We have to go, but we can't alert the enemy.
Yan Ruyu looked at the map of Longyin Island and took out the records of Rongzhou City in the past few days.
As usual, she organized the people and things here into a mind map so that they could be seen clearly.
"Your Majesty, I have a solution."
"We can go to Longyin to test the waters without arousing suspicion or drawing attention to others."
