Chapter 1167: 1167: Was That Grandpa De San?

The expressions of all five people were extremely grave, and beneath this gravity, one could see a lot of tension. The oldest among the five was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. In this huge deep pool built by the Nie Family, danger could arise at any time, disappearing inexplicably and then the body floating on the lake. It’s not that it hasn’t happened before.

At this moment, Luo Yirui’s attention was all on that point of light and did not notice the peculiar gleam flashing in Black Coal Ball’s cat-like eyes, as if she had remembered something.

The five of them walked cautiously toward that direction. The passage here was uneven, narrow at some places and wide at others, and the surrounding soil layers were very rough, completely different from before.

This should have been dug out temporarily, and it was done in a hurry.

Hou Baiyu headed toward the light spot, walking faster and faster, as if he knew this passage was not dangerous.

Luo Yirui knew some reasons. Judging by the way this passage was dug, it should be a wild path, not a proper Nie Family passage. Moreover, human presence here was scarce, and after walking for so long, they only encountered those two people earlier.

As Luo Yirui quickened his pace, Little Fatty and Jing Yuansi followed suit.

Little Fatty was a bit clever. He knew that Hou Baiyu and the others valued Luo Yirui. Without Luo Yirui, they might leave him and Jing Yuansi behind, so he didn’t try to cozy up to them, instead sticking closely to Luo Yirui.

As long as Luo Yirui didn’t abandon them, they could follow him all the way!

After walking for three to five minutes, a light shone at the tunnel’s exit. The five of them felt slightly dazzled, stood there to adapt for a while, and then looked out.

This could be considered halfway up the mountain. Calling it halfway up the mountain, it was actually just a dirt slope. They were in a cave in the middle of the dirt slope, surrounded by low shrubs and grass that had already turned yellow.

The light came from the bottom of the slope, where it was as bright as day, fully illuminated by lights, with some resembling incandescent lights, making the entire base very bright, no wonder it seemed dazzling.

Hou Baiyu crouched in the shadow of the cave, observing the gathering below, not intending to go out right away.

At first, Luo Yirui paid no attention to Hou Baiyu’s words, but unexpectedly, there really was a secret base here.

What was the purpose of this base? To train their own team?

He thought it couldn’t be that, otherwise, it wouldn’t be in such a hidden place. If searched from the outside, it couldn’t be found at all!

"Finally found it," Hou Baiyu said in a low voice.

"What are you looking for here?" Luo Yirui asked.

Hou Baiyu replied softly, "To weaken the Nie Family, we have to start here first."

It seemed Little Fatty wasn’t lying.

"Let’s go," said Hou Baiyu as he got up but instead of going out, he started heading back.

Luo Yirui was momentarily stunned, then understood they had no equipment whatsoever, going down rashly would be fatal, they should go back and prepare thoroughly before coming down again.

Little Fatty was very reluctant to go back, knowing that once they returned, there would be nothing left for him on the next trip. Hou Baiyu wouldn’t bring him and Jing Yuansi.

But Little Fatty also knew that if he impulsively ran down, his body might appear on the lake surface as well.

Luo Yirui hesitated not a bit. At the moment of turning, he saw an extremely familiar figure among the crowd below. His heart quivered instantly. Looking again, that figure was already gone.

If he wasn’t mistaken, was it Grandpa De San?
