Chapter 493: The Block is Broken
Brother Xiao’s plan was to go back after going two squares farther, but they didn’t expect that after advancing one more square — the road, was blocked.

Or to put it precisely, the square was blocked.

A huge collapsed pit appeared in front of them!

At least a kilometer away! The pit edge was neat and squarely shaped, as if a chess piece had been dug out of a full chessboard!

Perhaps the sight was too spectacular, the group didn’t speak for a long time, fixated on the scene.

“How could this happen…” Brother Xiao stared at the giant pit, “What on earth is this place…”

Yang Zi, too, was stunned for a long time before he asked: “Could it be…an exit?”

Lu Yuwen was shocked by the scene and collapsed to the ground, his legs trembling.

Zhang Ke picked him up, “Hey, smart guy, what do you think this place is?”

“I… I don’t know…” Lu Yuwen struggled to adjust his glasses, “This is the only place without…without any arrows. Perhaps there might be some clues. I’m not certain, we need to… we need to go down and see…”

“It’s so high! How do we get down?!” Yang Zi immediately opposed, “Plus, who knows what dangers lie below!”

Zhang Ke and Brother Xiao looked at each other, both hesitating.

Brother Xiao stood at the edge, looking down —

The bottom of the pit was about as high as a four or five-story building from where they stood. They could clearly see the smooth mud floor below. There were no buildings, no trees, nothing at all. It was completely empty and visible in its entirety.

They also couldn’t see any danger.

“If we want to go down…it’s not impossible, we can use a rope,” Brother Xiao said with a furrowed brow, “We’re here now, even if we turn around and leave, we’ll have to go down and check it out the next time we come.”

“If anyone’s going down, let him go first!” Yang Zi pointed at Lu Yuwen.

Lu Yuwen was stunned.

Brother Xiao frowned: “How is he gonna go down with those two legs of his? He can hardly walk, and if you drop him down, you’ll have to drag him back up. Want to go through that trouble? We should move quickly, go down for a quick look and come right back up. We’ll figure out what’s down there first.”

Yang Zi: “And what if he runs?!”

Zhang Ke chuckled, picked up a brick from the road, and smashed it viciously onto Lu Yuwen’s knee!

Lu Yuwen screamed in agony, clutching his leg as he collapsed to the ground!

Zhang Ke tossed the brick, and said nonchalantly with a smirk: “Fine, now we don’t have to worry about him running.”

Yang Zi cast a glance at Lu Yuwen and smirked. He didn’t say anything.

“Alright, let’s all prepare, see how we can get down.” Brother Xiao looked around and noticed several residential buildings nearby, “Follow me to get some mattresses and pillows. If we slip and fall, at least they’ll cushion the fall.”

The two followed him.

Since Lu Yuwen couldn’t even stand up, they didn’t worry that he would try to escape. They didn’t even glance at him when they left.

As soon as they all went into the residential building. Su Man, who had been hiding in the dark, immediately came out, helped Lu Yuwen sit up, and said angrily but anxiously: “They’re gone. Let’s get out of here quickly!”

Lu Yuwen, soaked in sweat and pale as a ghost, was still in agony from Zhang Ke’s hit ― the pain nearly made him bite off his gums!

“We can’t. If we leave like this, we won’t be able to untie the ropes!” He was panting and shaking his head, “Listen to me. When they go down, rotate the arrow towards my direction!”

Still rather uneasy, he asked Su Man: “Do you know where the arrow is?”

“Yes.” Su Man nodded, “It’s about five hundred meters around the corner. I remember it. As soon as they go down, I will turn the arrow around!”

Lu Yuwen nodded, urging her: “Go quickly, they’re about to come out.”

Su Man looked back at the direction of the residential building, bit her lip, quickly retreated and hid herself again.
