As Zhao Donghai left, the bones and monsters seemed to have received instructions. They did not continue to attack the three of them, but all retreated, stood at the door, and even surrounded the entire lobby.

"What does this mean?" Lin Wan asked with a pale face.

"Zhao Donghai doesn't think it's necessary to kill us. As long as we fail to complete the task, we will still die." Gu Yuan sighed, but he was not depressed. After all, as long as we are not completely dead, there is still hope of turning everything around.

"Then what should we do now?" Gu Fang sat on the ground, half of his clothes stained red with blood.

"Fighting head-on is definitely not feasible. We can only think of other ways." Gu Yuan didn't pay attention at the moment. After all, there were monsters outside. If he went out, he would probably be torn apart.

No one answered, and the lobby was quiet for a long time. The three people sat on the ground leaning against the wall, each treating their own wounds.

Gu Yuan tore off a piece of his sleeve and wrapped it around the bleeding wound on his arm. When he tied it tightly, the pain made him gasp.

He lowered his head and glanced at his feet. Zhao Donghai stepped on the copper coin sword and kicked it to the corner. There was another crack on the sword. He bent down to pick up the sword, tested the weight, and found that it was in his hand.

If there is only one person left who can help now, that is Zhang Xiao, but Gu Yuan is not a person who likes to put his hope in others, but he really has no choice now.

"I hope he can make it in time." Gu Yuan murmured.

Fang Qing's three puzzle pieces in his arms were still warm, but fortunately they didn't fall out just now.

At the same time, chatter began to sound outside. Looking through the window, he found that there were already some villagers scattered in the yard. Those villagers he had seen in the morning.

"Villers have begun to come over one after another. We have to hurry up and escape." Gu Yuan said with a frown.

After a while, there were more and more people in the courtyard, at least dozens of them. They were already sitting on their seats and seemed to be waiting for the meal.

And among these crowds, there was a figure that attracted Gu Yuan's attention.

The man was dressed in tatters and had a tattered bag on his back. He looked very familiar.

Gu Yuan recognized Zhang Xiao almost immediately, and Zhang Xiao seemed to have noticed him, turning his head and waving towards the lobby.

At this moment, Gu Yuan's anxious heart finally settled in his stomach.
