Chapter 952 Martial Arts Fanatic South China Sea
"Senior brother?" Xiao Tian's voice revealed a hint of surprise.
"Junior brother?" The other party's response was equally surprised.
Xiaotian stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him in disbelief, then with a swift movement, he flipped over.
After landing, Xiao Tian looked around and was shocked to realize that he had crawled out of what appeared to be a stone coffin! No wonder everyone was huddled up in fear, even his senior brother looked terrified.
"You can come up now!" Xiaotian steadied himself and shouted down.
A trembling voice came from the crowd: "Can we get out of here?"
Xiaotian looked at the tomb full of living people and wondered what had happened to them.
He took a deep breath and replied, "We discovered the hole by accident. It must be several tens of meters high. We have ropes hanging there, but it seems like there are people patrolling outside. If you want to leave after you go out, be careful not to be discovered. Those people have guns."
As Xiaotian spoke, his gaze swept over the twenty or thirty men in the tomb chamber. He saw that they were all bruised and swollen, their faces unrecognizable, and their original appearances were impossible to discern.
Xiaotian frowned slightly, his doubts growing stronger.
He stared intently at his senior brother, his face full of suspicion, and asked, "Why are their faces all bruised and purple? How come you're alright, Senior Brother Nanhai?"
Nan Hai's lips curled into a slight, disdainful smile, his chin tilted up, as if he were quite dismissive of his junior brother's doubts.
His voice carried a hint of arrogance as he said, "That's because your senior brother is exceptionally strong, capable of taking on many opponents single-handedly. How could those Japanese devils, with their meager skills, possibly harm me? You're seriously underestimating your senior brother!"
Jiang Jiyun and the others happened to be coming up from below. Upon hearing Nan Hai's voice, she couldn't help but look in astonishment at the man dressed in tattered clothes, whose face was filled with pride.
Xiao Tian blinked, looking at her senior brother's smug expression, and asked curiously, "Senior brother, so you were all arrested and brought here?"
Nan Hai's smile froze instantly, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on his face. He guiltily avoided his junior brother's gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.
He was a martial arts fanatic when he was in the temple. He liked to challenge anyone whose kung fu was better than his. That's why he was tricked this time.
Suddenly, a slight commotion arose in the crowd, and a man with a limp slowly walked out, his steps somewhat unsteady.
He addressed the crowd, saying, "Some of us were indeed captured, but others willingly walked into the trap."
"What does it mean to willingly walk into a trap?" Sun Jiaguo asked, looking at them.
Nan Hai scratched his head with a worried expression, seemingly very annoyed by the current situation.
He sighed and explained, "We were really tricked into coming here! There are rumors in the underworld that there's an underground boxing ring here, and if you can win a match, you can get a generous prize."
When Xiao Tian heard that Nan Hai had come for the prize, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior brother, are you short of money?"
Nan Hai quickly shook his head and hurriedly explained, "It's not about the money! I heard that the prizes here are very special. They are kung fu manuals from the Shaolin Library, as well as many other secret manuals from various families!"
He glanced at his junior brother and said, "When I heard the news, I couldn't contain my excitement and rushed over immediately. But when I got here, I found out that it wasn't like that at all!"
Nan Hai grew increasingly angry as he spoke, and finally couldn't help but slam his fist into the stone coffin next to him, making a loud "bang".
He continued, "These guys are all Japanese soldiers, and they're threatening us with guns and those women! Now we can't leave even if we want to, it's outrageous!"
The man who had spoken earlier quickly chimed in, "Their people wanted to learn our country's kung fu, so they used us as guinea pigs, using us to practice on their people."
As the man spoke, tears streamed down his face. He wiped them away and continued, "Of course we thought about escaping, but the problem was that they had guns. Many of our brothers died tragically at their hands."
Jiang Jiyun looked around and then said to everyone, "If you want to go down from here, be careful when you pass a black, sticky-looking ditch."
“That place was originally a kerosene ditch. If even a tiny spark fell in, the soil that had been soaked in kerosene for a long time would immediately burst into flames.”
Upon hearing Jiang Jiyun's words, Sun Jiaguo handed over the flashlight in his hand and instructed, "Take this flashlight. Although there is another tomb chamber down there, there are many skeletons inside, so you should be prepared. Moreover, there are some places we haven't been to yet, and no one can say for sure whether there is any danger, so you must be extra careful."
Nan Hai handed the flashlight that Xiao Tian had given him to someone else, then firmly shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving. I know you're here to rescue people. But with just a few of you, there's no way you can beat them. I'll stay and help; the more people there are, the stronger we'll be."
Then, he turned to the man with the leg injury and said, "Brother Guo, all of you who are injured should leave here as soon as possible. Be careful once you get out; the Japanese outside are not to be trifled with, so you must be extremely cautious."
Jiang Jiyun secretly observed their injuries. Most of them were external wounds, but a few were leaning against a corner, and their injuries were probably quite serious.
She secretly gave Hu Dahe a medicine bottle and quickly walked to the iron gate, carefully examining the lock that secured the gate.
After glancing at it, Jiang Jiyun quickly took out a wire from his pocket, skillfully inserted it into the keyhole, and then began to gently manipulate it.
A moment later, a crisp "click" was heard, and the lock was opened!
"Kid, you're amazing!" Nan Hai exclaimed in amazement, completely impressed by Jiang Jiyun's lock-picking skills.
Jiang Jiyun opened the door and went out.
She glanced around and saw that the other gates of the fences were crowded with people, who were obviously anxiously waiting for someone to rescue them.
Jiang Jiyun quickly put her finger to her lips, making a quiet gesture to signal everyone to be quiet.
She then quickly walked to the gates and began helping people unlock them.
Xiao Tian and Sun Jiaguo noticed that someone seemed to have noticed the commotion and was looking in their direction.
They quickly raised their silenced guns and pulled the triggers without hesitation. With two "thuds," the two enemies fell to the ground instantly.
When those people saw that it was people from their own country who had come to rescue them, many of them covered their mouths and cried, trying not to make a sound that would attract the attention of the patrol team.
