Chapter 227 Rescue (Part 1)
Chapter 227 Rescue (Part 1)
Lin Shen and his companions followed the kidnappers for a day and a night, and only stopped when they saw the kidnappers taking Nangong Huang and Wen Hui into a cave. From inside the cave came the sound of blacksmithing.
Several people were lying in wait in a bush at the entrance of the cave.
Zhao Linger whispered, "Brother Anos, Senior Xingxuan, this should be where the blacksmiths are being held, right?"
Xing Xuan remained silent, while Lin Shen closed his eyes and used his Observation Haki to sense the situation inside. Sure enough, the kidnapped blacksmiths were all inside, more than fifty of them.
There is a special forging room in the cave, which contains all kinds of blacksmithing tools.
A dozen blacksmiths toiled under the coercion of masked men, forging weapons. The rest were imprisoned in cells, five to a room. Each cell contained only a large bunk bed and a toilet—nothing else.
There were more than a hundred masked men in the cave. Some were standing guard at the cell door, and some were watching the forging progress in the forging room. If the blacksmith was a little slow, they would whip him and make him scream for help.
Half an hour later, it was time for lunch, and each blacksmith had only very simple food: a stale steamed bun and some pickled vegetables.
Some blacksmiths wanted to protest, but were whipped again. Seeing this, the others immediately became obedient.
After Lin Shen sensed the motive behind this, he was so angry that his fists clenched until they cracked.
Zhao Linger looked at Lin Shen, held his hand and said, "Brother Anos, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Lin Shen took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. After a while, Lin Shen told everyone what he had found out. Everyone was so angry that they gritted their teeth.
Lin Yueru slapped her thigh and said, "These people are going too far. How could a good sect of immortal cultivation become like this? They really deserve to die."
Jiang Wan'er patted Lin Yueru gently and said, "Okay, Yueru, what we should think about now is how to rescue the blacksmith, Senior Nangong, and Senior Wen inside."
Lin Shen thought: This time is different from the last time I was with the Fuhu Gang. It's hard to send an undercover agent this time. None of the people around me can forge iron. It seems that the only option is to attack with force.
Thinking of this, Lin Shen activated his spiritual power, pointed his index finger at his temple, and called Li Xiaoyao in Shushan.
After a while, Li Xiaoyao from Shushan received a voice message from Lin Shen, "Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao, I am Anos."
Li Xiaoyao asked, "Anos, where are you?"
"I'm outside a cave now. We've found the kidnapped blacksmiths. They're being held captive by the remnants of Qionghua."
"Do you need our reinforcements?"
"There's something I need your help with, Shushan. I'll teleport those blacksmiths to Shushan, and you can help send them back home, okay?"
"Okay, no problem, but is it really okay for us not to send reinforcements?"
"You still don't trust my ability, so don't worry."
Li Xiaoyao smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, be careful." After that, Li Xiaoyao interrupted the voice transmission, and Lin Shen also canceled the voice transmission.
Lin Shen thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the hidden Gu I saved before can be used now."
Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos, what can you do?"
Lin Shen said, "I thought about it, I can use the invisibility Gu to go in, and use the leaping technique to teleport those blacksmiths away..."
Before Lin Shen could finish his words, Xing Xuan, Zhao Linger and the others said in unison, "No!"
Xing Xuan said, "This is too dangerous. Once you are exposed, how will you escape?"
Lin Shen said, "With my ability, I can only think of two ways, either a strong attack or this method. If I attack by force, what if those people kill me?"
Anu said, "How about this, we find a few of us to lure the enemy away, and then Brother Anos will take two people to rescue the blacksmith and the two seniors."
Xing Xuan said, "This idea is more reliable, let's do it." At this time Xu'er also turned back into human form.
So Lin Shen, Lin Yueru and Anu were arranged to go in to rescue people, Xing Xuan was responsible for luring the enemy, Zhao Linger, Jiang Waner and Xuer were responsible for setting an ambush, and everyone acted according to the arrangement.
Just when the two guards at the cave entrance were feeling bored, Xing Xuan shouted, "You scum, why don't you let my brother go!"
The guard at the door said, "Just you? You don't know how to live or die." After that, a guard rushed towards Xing Xuan with a knife, but was knocked to the ground by Xing Xuan with a punch.
Another guard yelled, "Help, there's a disturbance!"
A moment later, more than eighty people ran out from inside, and the guard pointed at Xing Xuan and shouted, "Catch him!"
The more than eighty people rushed towards Xing Xuan. Seeing this, Xing Xuan turned around and ran, and those people chased after him.
After the pursuers ran away, Lin Shen shot a ray of light at the guard, and the ray of light hit the guard right in the middle of his eyebrows. The guard was knocked down before he could even call out.
Lin Shen and his two companions entered the cave. Three minions rushed towards him. Lin Yueru used her ring to conjure up three flying knives and threw them at the minions. All three minions were stabbed in the throat and fell to the ground.
At this time, three more minions were preparing to attack Lin Shen from behind. Lin Shen did not look back, but directly shot a ball of fire behind him, burning the three minions into powder.
After watching, Anu said, "Brother Anos now has a bit of the same flavor as before."
Lin Shen chuckled and said, "What does mine smell like, Anu?"
Lin Yueru said, "With great magical powers, he dares to fight and fight."
Lin Shen said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and find the key quickly."
At this time, the remaining minions rushed towards the three of them. Lin Shen and the other two did not hesitate and killed all the remaining minions directly.
Lin Shen looked at the minions lying on the ground and couldn't help but complain, "They are not as good as Cha Ge from the Fu Hu Gang. At least they knew to threaten us with Silver Flower. They are a bunch of idiots."
Lin Yueru and Anu searched the ground and found the key to the cell on one of the minions. Lin Shen opened the cell and released the blacksmith inside.
At this time, Lin Shen and the other two heard the sound of fighting coming from the forging room.
The three of them immediately ran to the forge, and after opening the door, they were stunned by the scene inside: more than a dozen blacksmiths were beating six minions with hammers and sledgehammers. The blacksmiths beat the minions until their noses, faces, heads and blood were bruised.
Anu said, "What...what is going on?"
Lin Yueru said, "It's likely that they heard a fight broke out outside, and these blacksmiths took the opportunity to resist."
Lin Shen looked at the scene with a dead fish eye. Lin Yueru nudged Lin Shen with her arm and said, "Anos, don't forget the important matter!"
After Lin Shen came to his senses, he gathered all the blacksmiths together and told them that he would send all the blacksmiths to Shushan, and Shushan would arrange to send them home.
The blacksmiths were all surprised when they heard this. Lin Shen didn't care about the blacksmiths' attitude. He just snapped his fingers and a magic circle appeared under their feet. After a while, the blacksmiths disappeared.
Less than an incense stick of time passed before Li Xiaoyao's voice came, "Anos, the blacksmiths have arrived safely at Mount Shu. We will immediately arrange for their return home."
Lin Shen said, "I understand. I'll leave the rest to you."
"Okay, leave it to us."
It was at this time that Lin Shen, Lin Yueru and Anu noticed one thing: Nangong Huang and Wen Hui had not been rescued yet!
So the three of them continued to search for the two men in the cave.
