C776 The Aftermath of the Catastrophe

Looking at the scene in front of him, Du Qi couldn't help but feel a lingering fear when he looked back at the shocking feeling. If he was a little slower, he would have fallen into the same situation as those trees, buried underground and never see the sun again.

The aftershock of the vibration was still there, but suddenly there were screams of panic coming from the left side. "Earthquake!" "Earthquake!!" Along with the shouts, people rushed to the place where the incident happened from all directions in panic, discussing and expressing their own opinions.

Du Qi naturally knew that it was not an earthquake, but he did not know why Looh Miaoer's underground palace suddenly collapsed. He was too lazy to think about the reason. He hurriedly calmed his heart, which was beating wildly because of fear. He climbed up to the shore at all costs and hid in the woods next to him. He identified the direction and ran towards the exit he knew as if he was flying.

When he came to the exit he and Looh Miaoer had passed by, Du Qi's heart sank. The abandoned village had been buried underground. Although the well was there, the well was filled with mud.

Looking at the devastated scene in front of him, Du Qi felt powerless. He could not help but fall on the well and murmured, "Miaoer, Miaoer, where are you? It can't be underground, right?"

The surroundings were silent. Wherever the wind blew, there was a fresh smell of soil and a faint rotting smell. No one answered Du Qi's words.

Recalling the meeting with Looh Miaoer, the interactions, the separation, the yearning for each other, and the last unexpected meeting, Du Qi felt as if his heart had been fried with oil. As his thoughts ran wild, he could only pray secretly, "Miaoer, Miaoer, you won't come back here so soon, right?"

Knowing that Looh Miaoer was very likely not in Jiujiang, even if she was in Jiujiang, she would not be able to hide in the tunnel anymore. However, Du Qi could not let go of it. He could not help but think. Sometimes, he reckoned that Looh Miaoer would not be able to return to the Jiujiang so quickly, and sometimes he was sure that Looh Miaoer must have been buried in the tunnel. Sometimes, he thought that Looh Miaoer was having fun somewhere else. Sometimes, he thought that Looh Miaoer was moaning in pain and waiting for help. The possibility of this happening was getting bigger and bigger. However, he could not think of a way to save Looh Miaoer even if he racked his brain.

If he did not quickly think of a way to save Looh Miaoer, wouldn't Looh Miaoer suffer a lot of pain and shock? If he could not think of a way to save Looh Miaoer, wouldn't Looh Miaoer be forever buried underground? If Looh Miaoer died, then who could he find to tell his true feelings? Who could travel the Pugilistic World with him so tacitly to deal with the enemy's schemes and tricks? At that time, what was the point of living?

Du Qi knew that this was only his one-sided thoughts, and it was not the truth at all. He also knew that it would be useless for him to think in this empty space. However, he just could not stop his thoughts from flying. His thoughts were like tidal waves, and each wave was higher than the last.

Suddenly, Du Qi felt his divine sense become weary. His body slanted, and he fell onto the well without knowing what had happened.

After an unknown period of time, Du Qi was in a daze, and he only felt that someone was lightly shaking him. A slightly anxious voice called out, "Little Brother, Little Brother, quickly wake up. Are you alright? How do you feel?"

Although the voice was right beside his ear, Du Qi felt that it was a little far away. For a moment, he had forgotten where he was. He struggled to open his eyes and saw three men and a woman surrounding him.

All four of them were about forty years old, and they looked like villagers nearby. They might have heard the noise and rushed over to watch the show. Seeing that he was sleeping on the well, they came over to meddle in his business. Du Qi originally did not want to bother with them, but he could not bear to see their anxious expressions again. So he hurriedly sat up and smiled. "Thank you, uncle and auntie. I'm fine!"

The woman rubbed her chest, as if she had finally relaxed. She smiled kindly and said, "It's good that you're fine. When I saw you fall here, I thought that something had happened to you. But you scared us. It's good that you're alright. It's good that you're alright! "

Seeing the look on that woman's face, Du Qi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. It would be great if the people of the pugilistic world were as simple and honest as the villagers! The man next to the woman asked curiously, "From the way you speak, you don't seem to have a local accent. I wonder where you come from. Why are you sleeping here? "

Du Qi smiled and said, "I passed by this place and suddenly felt a little sleepy, so I slept here. I just fell asleep not long ago and was woken up by uncle and auntie."

The man seemed to be a little surprised and said," Little brother, don't you know that something happened here just now? "

Looking around, Du Qi pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey! Where is this place? Did uncle and auntie bring me here?"

The woman said with emotion, "A young man's sleep is big. He doesn't even know about such a big thing. He still sleeps without any mistakes. Fortunately, he didn't get hurt. Otherwise, I don't know how his master is worried."

Du Qi asked with doubt, "Could it be that something happened?"

Another man laughed and said, "It's nothing. It's nothing. Where did you come from and where did you prepare to go?"

Du Qi said, "I came from Wu Chang. I'm going to Jijiang Province to seek refuge with my relatives. It's already dark before I enter the city. I came here in a daze. Where is this place? How far is it to Jijiang Province?"

The man who spoke earlier said, "Although this place is only a few miles from the Jijiang Province, the road is not easy to walk. It's even harder to walk in the dark now. Why don't you stay at my house for a night before entering the city tomorrow morning? ”

Du Qi quickly said, "Thank you, uncle and auntie. I have come here from my hometown and often walk at night. Now that I'm about to arrive, I won't trouble you guys anymore. I still have to hurry. Uncle and auntie, please go back!"

As soon as Du Qi finished speaking, he heard a person not far away shout," Shut up! Don't try to fool others, and don't even think of escaping, kid. If you know what's good for you, then come with us!" As he spoke, more than ten people appeared from the other side of the forest like ghosts. In an instant, they surrounded Du Qi and the others.

Du Qi had just woken up when he realized there were people in the forest. That was why he chatted with the four villagers. In order to leave without leaving a trace, those people did not let him do as he wished. Du Qi saw that at least five of the people had seen them in Deer Gate Mountain before, but he did not know their names. He couldn't remember which sect they belonged to, but Du Qi knew that he wouldn't be able to escape this time no matter what. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What was supposed to come would come sooner or later. He could not hide no matter how hard he tried! Just as he was about to step forward and face the people who had come, the man who had spoken earlier retracted his gaze from those people. He stared at Du Qi and asked in a slightly surprised manner, "They are friends of little brother?"

Du Qi shook his head and said, "No!"

The man said again, "They are friends of brother?"

Du Qi denied it and said, "I don't know them!"
