Spring In Tiansheng
Chapter 45

They then passed through the prison room containing the broken-faced women. All the women looked at them in the hope that they too would be saved. But they just kept silent because knowing to get out of this place was impossible.

They did not never try to escape but their escape always ended horribly.They were caught again and tortured more cruelly or died eaten by man-eating fish.

" You won't get out of here unless you make it across a river full of man-eating fish." The woman who was showing the operating room suddenly spoke up.

Everyone stopped their steps, everyone was shocked except for Hua Chunran and Dan Yin who had known about this man-eating fish before.

"thank you for the reminder, we're going to get out of where we started to get to this cave" Hua Chunran said.

" How can you go upstairs if the bed that brought you down can only be moved with the button on top ? " the woman shook her head even more she felt pity for the newcomers who knew nothing of this.

Everyone was astonished to hear it as well as Hua Chunran. Is their only path really to cross a river full of piranhas ?

" Keeper Zhao how is this ? From what I heard from them earlier, Tabib Wang deliberately kept human flesh-eating piranha fish in the river outside this cave. That river is the only way we can get out. " Hua Chunran was also confused.

Zhao Xifeng thought hard, at a time like this he cannot communicate with his shadow guards. It's very irritating.

Suddenly Hua Chunran got the idea, he remembered in modern times many people kill fish in the river with poison.

"guard Zhao put me down first." whispered Hua Chunran lirih . Hearing Hua Chunran's request, Zhao Xifeng then lowered Hua Chunran slowly .

"Guard Zhao isn't healer Wang a poison master, he must have had a lot of poison. We can kill that fish with poison." Hua Chunran said excitedly after descending from Zhao Xifeng's sling.

Zhao Xifeng thought for a moment as soon as he heard Hua Chunran's idea.

" But if the river is poisoned, it would also be dangerous for us to swim across the poisoned river? " Zhao Xifeng couldn't help but frown.

Others also felt Hua Chunran's idea was pretty good but just as dangerous as meat-eating fish .

" I know the river will be clear of toxins after three to four days. But since I'm not so sure maybe we should wait for a week before crossing the river."

"then we should stay in this cave for a week? " Zong Yue who had always been quiet and speechless could not help but frown.

" yeah what can do.we have no choice. Or does anyone have any other ideas? " Hua Chunran also found the idea very hard to accept.

Everyone was anxious to get out of this terrible place, it was unimaginable that they would have to stay here for a day let alone a week.

" Wouldn't it be better for us to directly swim across the river, just a mere fish, we can kill him with our strength." Han Sen who was sturdy and always relied on the power of speech lift.

Hua Chunran shook her head "it's not that easy, meat-eating fish is so ferocious , they like to attack together and their movements are very fast.They can eat the flesh of the victim until it runs out in minutes or even seconds."

Everyone was stunned to hear Hua Chunran's explanation. They had never heard of such a fish.

After pausing for a moment Hua Chunran continued his explanation "In addition the meat-eating fish are very sensitive to blood, sound and splash. Piranha fish have the ability to smell blood remotely. It would be a little safe if all of us were not injured because piranhas are not very fond of attacking living humans. But you're all wounded and covered in blood . Especially now is summer, usually piranha will be more aggressive in summer because the water temperature is higher. I'm also sure that physician Wang would often feed the fish with corpses so they must be very familiar and love to eat human flesh."

" Alright we have no other choice,.let's search this place and look for the Wang physician's poison supply." Zhao Xifeng immediately made up his mind after seeing that there was no other way.

Everyone nodded though with a heavy heart and was dissatisfied.

Hua Chunran suddenly remembered something.

" Oh yeah haven't you guys managed to kill physician Wang yet? "

" Right we haven't managed to capture and kill that demon healer, where did he escape to? Could there be another way out? " Xu Feng was suddenly excited at the thought of this possibility

" There must be another way, if not where the physician ran." - Jiang Zhen.

" Let's search every corner of this room for poison and another way out" Zhao Xifeng ordered.

" Good .." said the others, they were more excited than ever.

" Would it not be better if we split up looking for him? " ask Jiang Zhen.

Zhao Xifeng shook his head. " We're just a few, if there's another attack I'm afraid we can't deal with it."

Everyone nodded in agreement, let alone with their wound-filled condition, their strength was almost drained out

Zhao Xifeng then sat down crouching "miss get on my back ."

" no need, I can walk alone." Hua Chunran refused because she felt ashamed if she continued to carry Zhao Xifeng.

" We're going through hundreds more bodies, are you sure you can get through?" zhao Xifeng asked.

" Well, later when we get there just carry me." Hua Chunran still shuddered in horror as she recalled the hundreds of corpses lying covered in blood with terrible wounds all over their bodies.

Zhao Xifeng nodded, he stood up then unexpectedly he clasped Hua Chunran's hand while stepping in the lead in front. Hua Chunran's heart warmed with Zhao Xifeng's concern.

Meanwhile the others immediately rushed to follow Zhao Xifeng..Their departure was accompanied by the gazes of the broken-faced women from behind the prison bars.

Zhao Xifeng and the others immediately rushed through each room looking for if there was a way out and a stockpile of poison .

Whether this cave is artificial or natural, this cave is very large consisting of several rooms . After a long while they searched finally they found an arsenal of medicinal and poison supplies .

Zhao Xifeng who knew a little bit of poisonous herbs immediately sorted out the poisonous herbs. Zhao Xifeng did not know where the physician Wang got many of these poisonous plants from, some of which were very potent at poisoning fish and were not found in the country.

Zhao Xifeng then ordered everyone to concoct the poison by smoothing the roots, leaves and seeds of the poisonous plants available in that place, not least Hua Chunran he also eagerly took the initiative to help. Everyone's hearts were touched to see Hua Chunran willing to cooperate with them.
