A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 146 Are you injured?

After saying this, he looked at Zhou Hanzhang with Gu Qingfeng, the meaning of which was obvious: should they look for him?

Zhou Hanzhang looked at the shocking pool of blood in front of him and felt uneasy.

She took out the map and looked at it, and found a spot on the map that she had previously thought was a stain. After comparing it several times, she realized that it was indeed this spot.

“Take a look at this map.”

She called He Shi and Zhou Hanzhang over.

Gu Qingfeng saw the black spot and reached out to wipe it, but Zhou Hanzhang, afraid he would ruin it, quickly said, "This shouldn't be a stain. Take a closer look at the terrain."

When did they realize something was wrong? "Isn't this where we are?"

"I have a feeling that there might be some kind of organization here, otherwise, how could a perfectly healthy person suddenly disappear?"

"Let me take a look." He Shi and Gu Qingfeng spoke at the same time.

But the little emerald flame in Zhou Hanzhang's arms jumped down and disappeared in an instant.

Zhou Hanzhang shouted twice, and Xiao Cuiyan responded with two howls.

Although they could hear Little Green Flame's voice, they still couldn't see it.

"Little Emerald Flame?" Zhou Hanzhang tried calling out again.

There was another "Awooo" sound.

Zhou Hanzhang followed the sound and found a hidden cave under the rock. She looked down and saw Little Cuiyan wagging its tail at her inside.

She said to the two people behind her, "Come and take a look, there's a stone cave here."

The two quickly walked to Zhou Hanzhang's side and saw that, sure enough, there were still a few drops of fresh blood by the edge of the cave.

"It really is here."

Looking at the cave, Shi He asked Zhou Hanzhang, "Shall we go down and take a look?"

Zhou Hanzhang was also considering it. She wanted to go down and take a look, but she didn't know if there were any dangers down there.

But the blood was very likely Liu Niang's, and her heart pounded with anxiety.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go."

"Little Emerald Flame, come back," she called to the wolf cub.

Little Cuiyan was obedient this time, jumping back and landing directly in the bundle on her back. She turned her head, settled herself down, and let out another "woof" at Zhou Hanzhang.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Hanzhang knew that it had finished digging, so he prepared to go deeper into the cave to take a look.

Both Shi He and Gu Qingfeng stopped her without prior arrangement.

"I'll go down and take a look first. You and Young Master Gu can stay up here. You can come down after I've checked and there are no problems."

“Yes, yes, let’s go down and take a look first, you come in last,” Gu Qingfeng echoed.

Both were unusually adamant, so Zhou Hanzhang had no choice but to give up, reminding him, "Then be careful."

Still feeling uneasy, she took out the flying rope with the grappling hook attached.

"It's too dark down here right now, could you wait a moment?"

She first took out a cold flame from her bosom, lit it, and threw it into the cave.

The three of them watched as the cold flame tumbled into the fire, initially still able to make out their surroundings.

It slowly fell, leaving only a brief and illusory glimmer of light before being completely swallowed by endless darkness, even its echoes being deeply buried.

The bottom of the cave remains hidden in a deathly silence and profound depth, unreachable and inspiring awe, adding to endless imagination and fear.

"This……"

Looking at the scene, the group, who had initially intended to go down, began to hesitate again.

Zhou Hanzhang gritted his teeth and said, "Get down."

She gave the flying rope to He Shi and Gu Qingfeng, telling them to tie it around their waists. Then she found a tree and clung tightly to it.

"This is safer."

I never stopped her from doing this; on the contrary, I somewhat admired her actions.

He nodded and jumped into the darkness before them.

Zhou Hanzhang and Gu Qingfeng are now waiting upstairs for a response.

When he first went down, some light could still shine in through the cave entrance, but the deeper he went, the more surprised he became.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, a chilling aura silently invaded him, carrying an ancient and decaying scent that penetrated to his very bones.

The cave was pitch black; even the midday sun could not penetrate the thick darkness, as if all light was being greedily swallowed up by this endless abyss.

A sense of oppression filled the air, making it difficult for him to breathe and causing his heart to race uncontrollably.

"Young master, something's strange here."

When Shi He noticed some bloodstains on the wall, but there were no signs of anyone climbing on it, Zhou Hanzhang was about to say something when he heard Shi He exclaim in surprise.

Then she realized that the flying rope that was tied to her body had come loose.

"when?"

Zhou Hanzhang shouted, but there was no response from Shi He.

Zhou Hanzhang was very anxious when he saw this and was about to go down to check, but Gu Qingfeng stopped him.

She thought Gu Qingfeng was going to stop her, and looked at him seriously, "Don't hold me back. I don't know what might have happened, but I have to go down and check."

Although Zhou Hanzhang transmigrated later, she inherited the original owner's memories and knew that He Shi was the person who had accompanied her since childhood and with whom she had a deep bond. If He Shi were to get into trouble because of her, she would feel guilty.

After saying that, she was about to leave.

“I’m not trying to stop you, I mean wait a minute, I’ll go down with you.”

Zhou Hanzhang then composed himself, looked around at his surroundings, and slowly began to feel his way down.

Fortunately, she had learned rock climbing in modern times; otherwise, in this environment, let alone finding a time, she might not even be able to survive.

She arrived smoothly at the place where He Shi had been, and finally understood what He Shi meant by "strange".

Not to mention the biting cold that permeated the place, the moment they arrived at the cave, a sandstorm suddenly swept up and blew straight into their faces.

Zhou Hanzhang wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he swallowed a mouthful of sand.

His eyesight was better, and he saw an unknown creature rushing straight towards him, about to land on Zhou Hanzhang's face.

He disregarded everything else and immediately reached out to shield Zhou Hanzhang from the attack.

That one blow caused his hand to bleed profusely.

Even though Zhou Hanzhang couldn't see it, he could smell the blood on Gu Qingfeng's hands.

She tilted her head, dodging the wind, and shouted, "Are you hurt?"

Gu Qingfeng was facing her, with sand and dust blowing directly at him. He couldn't respond, so he could only shake his head at her.

Zhou Hanzhang didn't know what the head-shaking meant, and he became increasingly anxious.

Zhou Hanzhang has one advantage: the more anxious she is, the calmer she becomes.

She took out two scarves from her bosom, tied one around her face first, and then handed the other to Gu Qingfeng.
