Chapter 447 Xiao Zhao
The leader of the men in black saw this and knew that it was difficult to win today, so he began to retreat. He gave an order and the men in black retreated one after another.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" Zhang Jianjun shouted, and chased after him with the Dragon Slaying Sword in hand. Luo Bing and Li Mochou followed closely behind.
However, the men in black took this opportunity to set a trap. When Zhang Jianjun and others chased to the edge of a cliff, the ground under their feet suddenly collapsed and they fell into a deep cave.
Zhang Jianjun struggled to get up and found that it was pitch black all around. He tried to find an exit, but found that it was like a maze, full of forks.
At this time, the leader of the men in black could be heard laughing triumphantly from afar: "Haha, just wait here for your death! The Dragon Slaying Sword still belongs to us, the Western Region Demon Cult, after all!"
Zhang Jianjun secretly vowed in his heart that he must find the exit and take back the Dragon Slaying Sword. He led Luo Bing and Li Mochou and groped forward carefully...
At this moment, a woman in bright red suddenly appeared in front of them. Everyone's eyes were drawn to her. She was extremely beautiful and graceful, like a blooming flower. She whispered, "I know the way out of here. You can follow me." Her voice was gentle and melodious, like the sound of nature. Zhang Jianjun heard this, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes, but he still asked politely, "May I ask your name, young lady? May we know it?" The woman in red smiled and replied softly, "My name is Xiao Zhao." After that, her eyes gently swept over everyone present, as if observing their reactions.
Zhang Jianjun hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to trust Xiao Zhao. The group followed her through narrow passages, and the scenery in front of them suddenly became wider.
"The exit is in front." Xiao Zhao said, pointing ahead.
Zhang Jianjun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to thank them, but he saw Xiao Zhao flash and block their way.
"Thank you all for your help, but please leave the Dragon Slaying Sword to me." Xiao Zhao's smile was still beautiful, but there was a hint of greed in her eyes.
It turned out that she also came for the Dragon Slaying Sword. Zhang Jianjun clenched the Dragon Slaying Sword and prepared to fight Xiao Zhao. Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a loud noise suddenly came from deep in the cave, and the entire ground began to shake violently.
"Oh no, the cave is going to collapse!" Zhang Jianjun made a quick judgment. He knew very well that in such an environment, any fight would be futile and would only accelerate their danger.
Xiao Zhao obviously realized this, and the greed on her face was instantly replaced by fear. Luo Bing and Li Mochou huddled together, preparing for the impending disaster.
"Hurry! We must find an exit and leave here!" Zhang Jianjun shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the shaking cave with unquestionable determination.
Xiao Zhao hesitated for a moment, but seeing that the cave was about to collapse, she could not care less and could only temporarily give up the idea of the Dragon Slaying Sword and join the ranks of people looking for an exit.
The four worked together and groped their way forward in the dark. As the ground shook more and more violently, they encountered falling rocks and collapsed ground from time to time, and every step was full of danger.
"Look! There is light there!" Luo Bing suddenly shouted, pointing forward.
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and indeed saw a faint ray of light coming through the gap in the distance. That was undoubtedly their life-saving straw.
Zhang Jianjun took the lead and rushed towards the light, his heart full of hope. As the distance shortened, the light became brighter and brighter, and they finally saw the exit.
"Hurry! Rush out!" Zhang Jianjun shouted and rushed out of the cave first.
Luo Bing, Li Mochou and Xiao Zhao followed closely behind. When they finally stood on the grass outside the cave and felt the fresh air and warm sunshine, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the crisis was not completely resolved. As soon as they escaped from the cave, they heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. The leader of the men in black obviously did not intend to let them go and had already sent out his pursuers.
"We must leave here as soon as possible!" Zhang Jianjun looked around, looking for a place to hide.
"There's a forest over there. We can go in and hide first." Xiao Zhao suddenly spoke, pointing to a dense forest not far away.
Zhang Jianjun nodded, and the four of them quickly ran towards the woods. They hid behind a big tree, holding their breath and listening to the noise outside.
The black-clad pursuers soon arrived at the cave entrance and looked around for traces of Zhang Jianjun and others. However, due to the obstruction of the woods, they did not find Zhang Jianjun and others.
"They must have escaped. Let's split up and chase them!" the leader of the men in black ordered.
As the black-clad pursuers dispersed, Zhang Jianjun and others finally breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that now was not the time to relax and they had to find a safe place as soon as possible.
"Xiao Zhao, do you know where we can hide nearby?" Zhang Jianjun looked at Xiao Zhao, hoping she could provide some help.
Xiao Zhao nodded, a complicated look flashed in his eyes: "I know a place, it's very hidden, they can't find us."
Zhang Jianjun didn't think much about it. What they needed most now was a safe place. He followed Xiao Zhao, Luo Bing and Li Mochou, and walked deep into the woods.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at the place Xiao Zhao mentioned. It was a cave hidden deep in the forest, and the entrance was blocked by dense vegetation, making it difficult to be found.
"It's safe here. We can hide here temporarily." Xiao Zhao said.
Zhang Jianjun and others nodded, and they entered the cave and found a dry place to sit down. Although they were temporarily safe, they knew that the crisis was far from over.
"What should we do next?" Luo Bing asked.
Zhang Jianjun pondered for a moment, then said, "We must find the headquarters of the Western Region Demon Cult, take back the Dragon Slaying Sword, and completely resolve this hidden danger."
Li Mochou and Xiao Zhao both agreed. They knew that only by completely eliminating the Western Region Demon Sect could they ensure peace in the martial arts world.
"Then let's set off now." Zhang Jianjun stood up, his eyes flashing with determination.
The four of them smiled at each other, they knew that the road ahead would be more difficult and dangerous, but they were not afraid, because they knew that as long as they united as one, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
