Chapter 2227 2229: Master Qi’s Strength And Demeanor 1
Gu Qiqi's firm judgment silenced the engineers.
However, they could not calm down.
Was it really not Gu Xiaobei who did it?
After all, Miss Qiqi had come to fragrant hill and Maple Valley to look for Gu Xiaobei because of an express delivery from him.
Now that they had encountered an avalanche the moment they arrived, how could there be such a coincidence in this world? If Gu Xiaobei did not have a ghost, would he be able to convince her?
"Miss QIQI, the signal has been cut off."
"Miss QIQI, the rations and water we brought with us were scattered outside the cave just now! If we were trapped for too long, I'm afraid we won't have enough food!"
"Miss QIQI, we don't have any lighting..."
"Aiyo, Miss Qiqi, there are snakes in the cave! Snakes! Be careful!"
The engineers kept reporting as more and more difficulties appeared in front of their eyes.
Gu Qiqi frowned slightly, but her posture was still as calm as ever. She had the demeanor of a female general. "En, I'll lead the way. Everyone be careful and proceed cautiously. As for the water and food, don't worry, I can handle it."
She took out some water from the little dirty turtle's space and distributed it to everyone first.
The engineers cheered and instantly became much more energetic.
The little dirty turtle could not help but complain, "Sir Jue sent this group of people here today. It's not good. Why do I feel that the guards are not good enough and that they are a burden instead?"
Gu Qiqi softly reprimanded the little dirty turtle. "They were not professional bodyguards to begin with. Maple Valley was not a border crossing. Most people rarely came here. It was normal for them to not be familiar with the terrain. "Moreover, there are many ancient cemeteries in Maple Valley. I'm afraid we have fallen into the tunnel... If you ask a group of engineers to be familiar with the tunnel, you're asking too much of them."
The little dirty turtle stuck out its tongue. "Master silver, you're really protective. I was just ridiculing Lord Jue's subordinates. I didn't say anything bad about Lord Jue..."
Gu Qiqi said, "Alright, stop talking. According to the address that Xiaobei left behind, he should be nearby. He might have fallen into the tunnel as well. Let's cheer up. Finding him is more important!"
"OH, master silver, I'll go ahead and scout the way!"
"Okay."
The group carefully followed Gu Qiqi and the little turtle as they slowly made their way into the depths of the cave.
The journey was rather peaceful.
Other than the silver-ringed snakes that appeared from time to time and almost bit someone, Gu Qiqi gave some realgar powder to the engineers. After that, no snakes attacked them anymore.
These engineers admired Gu Qiqi more and more. They thought to themselves, 'No Wonder Lord Jue likes Miss Qiqi so much. Her strength and demeanor are definitely worthy of the chief.'.
However, the peace did not last long!
Soon, they walked to the side of a cold pond and were groping their way across the narrow stone bridge.
Suddenly!
The bottom of the pond shook!
"Splash, Splash, Splash!"
Along with the sound of water splashing and the shaking of the earth and mountains, dozens of black shadows suddenly jumped out of the pond!
All of them were over two meters tall. All of a sudden, they seemed to have occupied the entire narrow cave.
"There's an ambush!"
"Prepare to counterattack!"
"Oh no, the water in this cold pond is too strange. Just now, it splashed onto my K12. The fire has stopped, and it can't be used!"
"What should we do? If we can't protect Miss Qiqi well, how can we still have the face to see Lord Jue? We'll just carry our heads and go back!"
The engineers all had sad faces.
Suddenly, someone gritted his teeth and said, "Use miniature explosives! Who cares about the consequences? Let's blow up the enemy first!"
Just as the engineers had come to an agreement and were prepared to use the mini explosives to deal with the dozens of black shadows that came from unknown sources.
Gu Qiqi's cold voice sounded, "Everyone, listen to my orders. Don't move!"
