Chapter 353 4 Kill
He saw an arc-shaped underground space appear before his eyes. Its size was almost the same as the small courtyard he had come down from. There were neatly arranged small holes on the stone walls on both sides. There was no obstruction at the entrance of the hole. In the nearest one, he could vaguely see something curled up inside, motionless.
If his guess was correct, it should be...a person.
He could smell a strange smell at the tip of his nose. He shifted his gaze slightly. In the middle were four bathtubs placed side by side, emitting white smoke. Four people were sitting in them with their eyes closed, their lives unknown. Apart from that, he still couldn't see Wu Sanniang or anyone else who could move freely.
After waiting for a while, no one showed up. Cui Bianxu did not delay any longer and went straight to the dead person in the bathtub.
Only when he got closer did he realize that the contents of the tub were quite strange. As a martial artist, he had naturally taken black medicinal baths before, but the contents of this tub actually emitted a strange dark green color!
A medicinal bath would give off a strong aroma of medicinal herbs, but this thing not only had no trace of the fragrance of medicinal herbs, but instead gave off an unpleasant odor. This odor was different from the one from the tiger just now. He couldn't put his finger on it, but there seemed to be something moving faintly in the water.
Although these four people had their eyes closed and seemed to be unconscious, it could be seen from their furrowed brows and the occasional exertion of force on their back molars that they must be enduring some kind of great pain.
One of them, perhaps unable to bear the pain, had veins on his neck and face bulging instantly, as if his veins were about to burst. He suddenly opened his mouth and closed his eyes, wanting to scream, but all he could make was a pitiful, meaningless cry.
This guy only has half a tongue.
Cui Bianxu was just about to raise his hand to check whether these four people had only half a tongue, when he heard some noise as his ears moved. In a hurry, he had to fly into a small hole and tried his best to shrink himself into the innermost part.
Perhaps because of its high location, there is no one in this cave.
"This guy is no longer good."
"Another one died, all this medicine I boiled wasted!"
"That beast is so bloated from eating so much every day, I'm afraid he can barely walk. Let's wait until he dies and then feed him tomorrow."
"Go tell my wife and ask her if she wants to put another person in while the medicine is still effective."
"Yes."
As the footsteps of one person left, Cui Bianxu carefully stuck his head out and took a quick glance down, only to see three people surrounding the person he had just wanted to call out but hadn't made any noise.
The three men seemed to be quite afraid of what was in the barrel. They did not touch it directly but randomly tapped his head with the long sticks in their hands. One of them put the long stick into the barrel and stirred it.
Retracting back to the deepest part, Cui Bianxu's face looked solemn. When the man stirred it just now, he seemed to see something moving inside.
He didn't look closely, and just as he was about to stick his head out to take another look, he heard the man hurried back: "My lady said that since it's useless, we should drag it out as soon as possible and put another one in!"
"Pull out another one."
As he spoke, the sound of chains being dragged came from the opposite side, and a man was struggling and shouting almost powerlessly. Cui Bianxu poked his head out again, and saw a man with his hands and feet tied with chains being dragged out of the small hole opposite by his hair.
He half-opened his eyes and tried to beg for mercy, muttering constantly and rubbing his hands, trying his best to ask these people to spare his life, but these people were obviously used to such things and did not show any mercy. They acted very roughly, dragging him to the edge of the barrel and forcing his face upwards with their hands.
The half-dead man in the bathtub had been dragged out and thrown aside. One of them dropped the wooden stick in his hand, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and grabbed the man's jaw with one hand.
This is...cutting off the tongue!
He should do his job well. It would be fine if he didn't see it, but he would never stand idly by and watch what was happening right in front of him.
Cui Bianxu no longer hid. He rolled forward and jumped high into the air. The long swords on both sides were drawn out at the same time and thrown at the two men.
This was naturally quite a commotion, and the four of them stopped what they were doing and looked at him: "Who is it?"
Cui Bianxu's face was stern, his eyes full of murderous intent. The knife was moving very fast, but he was even faster. Almost at the same time as the two knives pierced into the two men's bodies, he landed beside the wooden barrel and raised his hands at the same time to strangle the throats of the other two.
The inertia of falling caused the two men to be strangled by the throat and at the same time, they were pulled forward by a huge force for more than ten feet before stopping.
The two men were also martial artists. They quickly came to their senses in this sudden incident and grabbed Cui Bianxu's arms with their hands, while kicking him in the waist with their feet.
Cui Bianxu's body flew backwards suddenly, the muscles in his arms tensed, and he kicked in the air. His head was thrown back uncontrollably by the force, and then he felt a black screen in front of his eyes. After two consecutive "cracks", there was no sound, and only two corpses with folded heads and backs were left lying on the ground.
"Come! Enemy attack!"
Although the two people who were stabbed had their abdomens pierced by the long knife, the huge force made them retreat several steps and fall to the ground. Blood gushed out from the wound, but they still endured the pain in the shortest time, and stood up with a strong breath. One of them shouted loudly, and the other one actually pulled out a dagger.
He didn't even look at Cui Bianxu. Most of the injuries like this were incurable. Knowing that he would not live long, he had a murderous look in his eyes and swung his knife at the man on the ground with all his might.
The man was already weak and had difficulty moving. Frightened by the ferocity of the dying man, his whole body became stiff, his legs trembled like sieves, and a pool of warm liquid flowed out from between his buttocks.
Cui Bianxu strode forward, grasped the long knife that was still in the man's abdomen with one hand, and kicked the man with one foot. The man was kicked back three feet. As the man stared and waited for death, a cold light flashed, and the man who swung the knife at him paused, then took another step forward, and his head rolled to the ground.
Blood gushed out from the broken part like a fountain, and as the man fell to the ground, it splattered all over his body from head to toe. The bloody scene seemed to have frightened him back to his senses. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he kicked hard with his feet, turned over, and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Cui Bianxu: "Please, please, spare me, spare me..."
Cui Bianxu ignored him, took back his dagger, squatted among the four people and fumbled for a while, but did not find the key.
He had already experienced the hardness of the chain. If he wanted to cut it directly with a knife, it would probably take a lot of effort. Someone might come at any time, so he didn't have time. He could only say to the man, "Find a hole and hide yourself first."
The man's kowtow for mercy froze, and he looked at Cui Bianxu in confusion: "Hide, hide well?"
"That man made quite a noise before he died. Someone else will definitely come soon. You should hide first."
As he said this, he thought that the man seemed to have no strength left, so he was kind enough to pick him up by the back of his collar and throw him into a small hole that was a little higher.
