Under the leadership of the villagers, Zhang Xiaotian and Heping Jiu quickly found the gathering point where the bandits were.
It was a natural cave, protected from the howling cold wind and the erosion of rain and snow, and could still be inhabited by people.
But they arrived late.
I don't know if they knew the news in advance.
The bandits in the cave had already escaped, leaving only some messy daily necessities.
Zhang Xiaotian frowned.
Looking at the mess in the cave, his heart sank.
Where are those girls?
At this time, Li Ge suddenly said: "Everyone, be quiet."
When everyone fell silent, they faintly heard a faint cry for help coming from somewhere deeper in the cave.
"The person is inside" Li Ge was overjoyed and wanted to rush towards the dark cave.
But his wrist was immediately pulled tightly, and a deep voice sounded: "Be careful."
Pingjiu understood immediately, and stepped forward with several shadows.
Instead of walking directly into the depths of the cave, he lit a few rockets and shot towards the deeper darkness of the cave.
Under the firelight, the entrance of the cave was filled with sharp spears.
Li Ge felt a cold sweat break out on her back.
She glanced at the people around her in surprise: "How did you know there was an agency here?"
He said coldly: "It's a small trick."
Pingjiu and several shadows carefully cleared the secret passage leading deeper, and then walked directly in.
Passing through a secret passage filled with sharp spears, we finally arrived at a more spacious depth underground.
After the torch was lit, everyone finally heard the faint cry for help coming from here.
There was a square wooden cage suspended in the center of the cave, with a dozen girls in ragged clothes squatting inside.
What surprised everyone was not these girls, but what was located directly under the wooden cage.
It was a dense group of snakes circling and entangled together.
There were about a thousand snakes in the group, and they were all surrounded by a layer of yellow powder right below the wooden cage.
The top of the wooden cage was hung by a thick rope, but it was wrapped in a layer of yellow-orange liquid, and on that layer of yellow-orange liquid, there were dozens of huge animals crawling on it. mouse "Honey," Li Ge exclaimed, "The mice are eating honey."
At this time, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
This has been calculated long ago.
Within a certain period of time, if no one enters the cave to rescue people, the rope covered with honey will be bitten by mice, and what greets these girls is the realgar powder underneath.
Snakes trapped in a circle The people around Li Ge immediately commanded in a deep voice: "Ping Jiu, save people."
Zhang Xiaotian seemed to recognize the man's voice and couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty"
Dugu Mu frowned.
There was no need to hide his identity at this time.
He directly took off his mask and said to him: "You and your subordinates will cooperate with Ping Jiu to save people."
What he was most worried about at this time was the troublesome Xia Lige beside him.
Originally, he didn't plan to go to this cave, but Li Ge wanted to follow her, so he had to obey her and let the substitute stay in the ancestral hall to wait for the uninvited guests.
At this time, he was just about to let Li Ge stay away from that dangerous place, but he found that the little guy was looking for something everywhere.
"What are you doing?"
He was a little unhappy.
This was no joke.
He could have lost his head accidentally.
Li Ge said without looking back: "I'm looking for something important."
Your Majesty, you lost a demon queen
