Chapter 142 The Girl Who Cried for Help
In an instant, the two guards, who had been so arrogant and aggressive, collapsed to the ground like deflated balloons before they could even utter a sound, lifeless and instantly losing all consciousness.
Yun Juan cautiously stepped into the gloomy and terrifying dark prison. A strong, pungent stench of decay washed over her like a tidal wave, making her want to vomit.
She suppressed the churning in her stomach and whispered Xiao Shi's name: "Xiao Shi... Xiao Shi..."
However, apart from its own echo and the stench of decay, there was only deathly silence all around, and no response whatsoever.
Yun Quan did not give up. She took a deep breath and continued walking deeper into the dark prison.
Finally, as she reached the innermost cell, she faintly heard a very weak response.
The sound was like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.
Just as Yun Juan was happily preparing to open the cell door, suddenly, a sharp and piercing alarm bell rang out, echoing throughout the entire dark cell.
It turned out that although the two guards who had been struck on acupoints by her were unconscious, they were carrying a mysterious device that resembled a sensor.
This sensor will automatically trigger an alarm if they remain stationary for an extended period of time.
This is really strange! Yun Juan was secretly astonished. She couldn't understand how such advanced and exquisite things could appear in this seemingly ancient and backward world.
However, the situation was critical at the moment, leaving her no time to think.
She gripped the red-glowing sensor tightly in her hand, a fine layer of sweat beading on her forehead.
Just at this critical moment, a series of chaotic and irregular footsteps suddenly came from outside. The sound was like a sudden storm, sweeping in from afar and becoming clearer as the distance shortened.
It was obvious that a large number of guards were rushing towards them at an extremely fast pace. Their heavy footsteps echoed throughout the space like muffled thunder, making one's heart race and instantly filling the air with tension.
Yun Juan knew in her heart that there was no time to waste or delay; the situation was extremely critical.
She clenched her teeth, her hands trembling slightly from the excessive force, but she still desperately sped up the unlocking process.
Every second felt so long, and sweat dripped down her forehead and onto the ground.
With a crisp "click," like the first ray of dawn breaking through the darkness, the lock was finally opened!
In that instant, a ray of hope seemed to illuminate the path ahead.
Almost at the same instant, Xiao Shi, who had been hiding in the corner trembling, suddenly flew into Yun Juan's warm embrace like a frightened little bird.
His small body trembled incessantly, and he mumbled some incomprehensible words.
Yun Juan had no time to comfort the panicked Xiao Shi. Without hesitation, she grabbed his weak little hand, turned around, and ran frantically toward the exit like an arrow.
However, fate always likes to play tricks on people, and things did not go as they had hoped.
Just as they rushed to the door, they were suddenly confronted by a group of fierce-looking guards.
These guards each wielded incredibly sharp weapons, their gleaming blades sending chills down one's spine.
Their faces revealed a ferocious expression, like demons emerging from hell, and they mercilessly blocked the two people's path forward.
Faced with such a perilous situation, Yun Juan remained calm and fearless. With a flick of her wrist, she instantly unleashed a dense barrage of pear blossom needles.
Those fine silver needles, gleaming with a cold light, shot towards the guards like snowflakes dancing in the sky.
Taking advantage of the enemy's brief moment of confusion, Yun Quan, leading Xiao Shi, charged left and right, fighting their way out...
Just now, Yun Juan and Xiao Shi alerted the guards.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
After a brief moment of thought, Yun Juan made a decisive decision to quickly retreat with Xiao Shi back to the dark dungeon they had left earlier.
After all, given the current situation, if they rush out rashly, they will only attract more enemies to surround and intercept them, and then they will probably really have no way to escape.
However, this is not the only path forward.
Not far behind, there was another passage, but no one knew where it led.
Nevertheless, Yun Juan was still determined to give it a try.
She held Xiao Shi's soft, slightly cool little hand tightly, as if this would give them both some courage and strength.
At this moment, Yun Juan couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction of the dark prison.
Inside, there were many haggard-looking, terrified girls.
These poor girls huddled together in various corners like frightened birds.
One girl in particular stood out.
She was hiding in the corner, staring intently at Yun Quan with eyes filled with fear and hope.
The moment their eyes met, Yun Juan clearly felt the burning passion and longing in Tang Luo's gaze.
Immediately afterward, a timid yet incredibly soft voice reached Yun Juan's ears: "Sister... can you take us with you?"
These words struck Yun Quan's heart like a heavy hammer.
To be honest, Yun Juan didn't initially intend to get involved in this matter.
She knew perfectly well that everything that was happening here had nothing to do with her.
Moreover, she knew that she alone could not save the lives of these girls.
After all, there were many people who needed to be rescued, and countless guards were on duty outside.
Yun Quan never considered herself to be the Virgin Mary, let alone willing to sacrifice her precious life to save others.
However, faced with Tang Luo's expectant eyes and her heartbreaking plea, Yun Juan's once resolute heart began to waver...
But for some reason, there was a kind of pure and innocent kindness in the eyes of the little girl across from me, and that gaze could pierce through my heart!
It was as if, if one chose to stand by and watch, one's heart would be pierced by thousands of tiny needles at the same time, with one sharp, piercing pain after another!
The pain surged like a tidal wave, almost engulfing the entire person.
However, just after they had managed to escape from that gloomy, dark, and terrifying prison, before they could even catch their breath, they were shocked to find that they were surrounded by a dense swarm of enemies.
Each of them held a sharp blade, their faces contorted in a ferocious grimace, like a pack of hungry wolves, staring intently at him, forming an impenetrable encirclement.
