The moment number one finished speaking, he was met with silence.
“Hey!” No. 1 paused in his action of looking for the door lock. His lips moved as he looked at song qingxiao.”You’re still pretending to be deaf and mute.” Among these people, there was no lack of people who had been captured for many years and were extremely vigilant.
After living in such a place for so many years, he was no longer used to speaking. Silence, obedience, and not attracting the undead’s attention as much as possible were the best ways to save his life.
Therefore, in the previous trials, song qingxiao and the others had also passed two checkpoints with this group of people. They had displayed their strength to convince the group of escapees and forced them to speak.
Even though number one had indeed returned to rescue them, to these people who might not have the memory of ‘returning’, the three of them were probably just prisoners like them. Naturally, they would not pay any attention to number one.
Song qingxiao ignored number one and asked number five in a low voice,”
“Did you find it?”
No. 5 had already searched one cage and was searching for another after taking a few steps forward. When he heard song qingxiao’s question, he turned around and shook his head,”
“No, I didn’t,”
There were no openings around the cage. Since it was filled with ‘food reserves’ for the undead, it was impossible for the cage to be completely nailed shut!
Song qingxiao reached out and touched the cage. It was made of wood and the workmanship was rough, but it should be old. This was enough to prove that the cages holding fugitives should be recycled.
He thought of the Beastman he had killed before. He was about three meters tall, a bit taller than this cage. If he wanted to open the cage and get food, it was much more convenient to lower his head than to squat and poke his head out to get it.
Just as she thought of this, the sound of bones colliding in the distance was mixed with a ‘Dong Dong Dong’ sound. The ground was shaking. It sounded like footsteps. The guards must have heard the noise and ran over.
From the sound of the footsteps, there should be quite a number of guards.
Song qingxiao’s reaction was extremely fast. She jumped up. Number one heard the sound and instinctively wanted to turn his head. However, he suddenly felt a heavy force on his shoulder, and his body could not help but fall on the cage.
Before he could do anything else, song Qing’s small feet stepped hard on number one, causing him to tilt. With the force of the step, she landed lightly on the top of the cage.
Sure enough, as she had expected, there was a lid on the top, and it was not locked. If someone below grabbed the cage and climbed up, they could easily push it open.
It wasn’t the time to think about why these people didn’t dare to escape. Song qingxiao pulled up the cover and jumped down. The opened cover fell back down with a bang!
As she moved, number five followed her. Seeing song qingxiao jump to the top of the cage, number five seemed to understand.
His body was small but agile, like an ape. In the dark, he climbed up to the top of the cage and got into the cage. In the blink of an eye, number one was left outside.
“You…”
Number one was dumbfounded. Everything had happened so quickly. He was still leaning against the cage when song qingxiao kicked him, but she had already squatted down and turned her back to the outside of the cage, just like the group of escapees.
“You can make yourself invisible.”
After song qingxiao finished his sentence, he buried his face in his hands and kept quiet.
Number one was speechless. He rubbed his shoulder, which was hurting from her stomping. This was not the time for him to be depressed. The banging sounds of number five and song qingxiao opening the lids had already attracted the attention of the guards. The footsteps of the guards became more hurried.
In a flash, he disappeared from his original spot. Not long after, more than ten strong figures carrying weapons rushed over.
The moment these figures appeared, the atmosphere became tense.
The air was filled with ruthlessness and killing intent. The vines that connected the cage seemed to feel this tension and trembled even more.
There were still continuous footsteps behind him. Clearly, more orcs had heard the commotion and were coming.
These guards looked similar to the beastmen that song qingxiao had killed. They were all very strong and three meters tall. They held weapons that looked like maces. Each of them was like an iron tower, making people’s blood run cold.
After the beastmen on guard appeared, song qingxiao felt that the bodies of the people who were held tightly in her arms had become stiff.
As a strong orc roared, these people instinctively trembled.
However, the trembling was not worth mentioning under the restraint of the vines.
The wardens let out angry roars, and soon, several orcs ran over.
As their heavy footsteps stomped on the ground, the ground trembled with a ‘buzz’, and a suffocating fishy smell came with the wind.
The vines hanging on both sides of the cage trembled even more violently. Song qingxiao stayed in the cage and felt that the cage seemed to be shaking along with the swaying of the vines.
“Wahhh!”
As the orcs drew closer, song Qing’s heart tightened, and she clutched the dagger in her arms.
The orc shouted loudly and quickly ran past the side of the cage without stopping.
Song qingxiao’s tensed body relaxed a little, but then she heard the orc’s footsteps running in the direction of the cauldron. Before she could release her breath, it was stuck in her throat.
Not far from the burning furnace was the stinky pool of rotting corpses. There was a large pool of blood beside the pool, and the corpses of orcs were soaking in it.
They didn’t have the time to clean up the area and clean up their traces. If they attracted the attention of the guards, the orc’s body would be discovered very soon.
Sure enough, just as this thought flashed through her mind, the orcs that ran over really let out violent roars!
Following a series of growls, she heard the sound of water splashing. It seemed that an orc had stepped into the pool.
Then, there was the sound of a heavy object being dragged. It fell to the ground with a bang. The orc’s body must have been found.
The rotten corpse pool was stirred, and a strong stench spread out. While song Qing’s stomach was churning, she thought of a serious problem that she had previously ignored.
The humans locked up in the cage ate, drank, and defecated inside. Over the years, the stench formed and covered up the smell on her body.
The valley was filled with cages, and the smell was so bad that even the orcs might not be able to smell it.
However, she, number one, and number five were unlucky when they first came. They were pushed into the pool by the orcs. Even if their scent could be covered, the traces of water on their bodies could not be hidden.
Fortunately, the cages were hidden in the dark. She could only pray that the orcs had bad eyesight. Otherwise, if they were discovered, a fierce battle would be inevitable..
