Chapter 132 I Have to Take Him Home



Chapter 132 I Have to Take Him Home

"Crunch...crunch...crunch..."

Blood and froth kept gushing out, blocking his trachea. Boss Wang's obese body convulsed and trembled, but he could only make these meaningless gurgling sounds.

Before Boss Wang could even continue showcasing his eloquence, he was hastily stabbed to death by Lao Yang...

The blood gushing from his chest stained Lao Yang's hands red, and some even splattered onto his face. Coupled with his gloomy expression, it made Liang Shiye cower behind Su Li in fear.

Wu Xie looked at Lao Yang's bloodied face and gloomy eyes, and was speechless.

Actually, there are quite a few differences between the fake Lao Yang and his childhood friend. When he doesn't know the truth, he might be blinded by his own biases and not easily notice.

However, given the reference answer, the differences between the two... or rather, between the original and the copy, become quite obvious.

The clone inherited all of Lao Yang's memories and emotions, but clearly, it did not inherit Lao Yang's trust in it.

Given his standing in Lao Yang's heart, the real Lao Yang wouldn't take advantage of him like that.

If there's anything Lao Yang needs, he'll always speak his mind directly, because he knows that given their friendship, no matter what request he makes or how dangerous it might be, he'll help him unconditionally.

Moreover, although Lao Yang is a bit greedy and knows how to use his cunning, he doesn't have the ruthlessness of someone like the clone who would kill someone without hesitation.

Whether it was towards Master Liang before or towards Boss Wang now...

I don't know what Mr. Wang said that offended him, but without saying a word, he just came up and stabbed the man.

The corpse on the ground was still warm, and warm blood was spilled all over the ground. The obese body lay stiffly on the ground, its belly round.

The vines that bound him had already loosened and withdrawn as soon as his blood began to spread, not giving the other party any chance to soil him.

The person was already beyond dead, so there was no point in saying anything more. Wu Xie shoved a bucket of water in front of Lao Yang so that he could wash off the bloodstains on his body, and the others also took the opportunity to wash up.

Looking at the time, it was almost six in the morning. Apart from Su Li, who was brainstorming ideas for Wu Xie in the middle of the night, and Wu Xie, who was tormented by the ideas, the other two slept very well and were full of energy.

The cave was too bloody to eat right now, so Wu Xie stuffed two big buns into his stomach, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and continued on his way.

Wu Xie and Lao Yang walked along the boardwalk with steamed buns in their mouths, with Liang Shiye and Su Li following behind.

“Take me there,” Wu Xie suddenly said.

For some reason, Lao Yang immediately understood what Wu Xie was saying and fell silent.

"I have to take him home."

The atmosphere became completely quiet, so quiet that Zuli could hear something climbing up from under the bronze tree across the street.

No one paid attention to the commotion on the bronze tree. After a long silence, Lao Yang spoke with difficulty, his voice dry and low.

"it is good……"

The rest of the journey was quiet, with the group focusing solely on the path beneath their feet, which significantly improved their overall efficiency.

The higher you go, the more plant roots hang down from the plank road. In some places, you have to take out a knife and cut a path through them.

This also indicates that they are getting closer and closer to the ground.

They soon arrived at a broken plank road.

The gap between the broken walkways was about a meter wide, which would have been a little difficult for them to cross on their own. However, with the help of Little Vine, the little expert at building bridges and paths, there was no problem at all.

Until Lao Yang stopped at the entrance of a cave...

The entrance to the cave looks somewhat messy, as if it had collapsed before. A black strip of cloth is tied to a tree root in the upper right corner of the entrance.

The strip of cloth was clearly torn from clothing and tied in an inconspicuous place.

Lao Yang looked at Wu Xie calmly, his emotions having subsided, appearing utterly undisturbed.

Wu Xie understood what he meant, took a deep breath, and then resolutely walked into the cave.

Su Li followed silently.

This cave was originally quite large, even among the caves in this area, but it later collapsed, and piles of rubble piled up, leaving very little room to actually step inside.

The cave is now filled with boulders of all sizes, and in some places, huge boulders have completely blocked the entrance.

Lao Yang pointed to a spot where there was still a small gap between the rocks and nodded silently to Wu Xie.

Having determined the exact location, Wu Xie stopped lingering and headed in that direction.

He had planned this before he arrived, and he had prepared all the necessary tools. He took out a bunch of shovels, crowbars, and other tools and started working.

With the combined efforts of the group, the collapsed area was quickly cleared, and a completely decomposed corpse, reduced to bones, appeared before them.

The skeleton was still wearing tattered clothes, surrounded by piles of garbage, and a tattered backpack was pressed under the skeleton's right hand.

With trembling hands, Wu Xie took a wallet out of the backpack and found the ID card inside, whose photo was already blurry.

The three characters 'Jie Ziyang' clearly written on the skeleton indicate its identity.

"Old Yang, your brother's here to pick you up..." Wu Xie said softly, forcing an awkward smile.

A square wooden box, about one meter in size, appeared before them. Wu Xie spread out a red cloth that he had prepared beforehand and picked up the bones from the ground one by one, placing them on the red cloth.

After making sure nothing was left on the ground, he carefully wrapped the red cloth and transferred it to the wooden box, then put the backpack on the ground into it as well.

He didn't have any strange idea of ​​carrying it himself or putting it into his spatial storage, so he carefully put the box into his spatial storage.

Why carry a box up and down steep slopes? Are you kidding me? This space is stable and spacious. Isn't it more respectful than constantly being thrown around and bumped into?

After collecting Xie Ziyang's remains, they left the cave.

The destination is just ahead, comrades, keep up the good work!!!

……

The group looked at the dark cave entrance in front of them, where countless tree roots were intertwined, and at the exit not far above their heads where light was shining through.

"You guys hide well, I'm going to lure the monster."

Wu Xie was eager to try his luck, especially curious about the one-eyed black-scaled giant python described in the book, whose scientific name was "Zhu Jiuyin".

Su Li nodded, checked the items in the Wuxie space, and confirmed that he could take any potentially lethal objects at any time.

Then he led Lao Yang and Liang Shiye to the nearest cave, and also added several defensive arrays to the cave to prevent it from collapsing.

Wu Xie cheered herself up: It's okay, it's okay, you're the best! Fight if you can win, run if you can't, Ali's got your back!
