Chapter 48
The Mountain Stronghold Dungeon

The mountain bandit was relieving himself when suddenly someone grabbed his neck. Seeing those bloodthirsty eyes, he immediately soiled himself.

My god!

Where did this demon come from?

“Ugh ugh ugh…”

The bandit, whose throat was being choked, could only make choking noises.

Seeing this, Lu Yu gathered his fingers into a sword-like shape with his left hand, and immediately used the Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand!

Pfft pfft!

After two light taps, he said: “You better answer honestly. If you dare to shout, I’ll break your neck in an instant!”

The bandit nodded hastily.

Only then did Lu Yu slightly loosen his right hand, giving the bandit a chance to speak.

“Ah ah ah…”

The bandit, who was about to speak, suddenly found himself unable to do so, like a mute.

Seeing that the bandit didn’t shout, Lu Yu’s left-hand sword finger struck again.

Two light taps later, the bandit regained his ability to speak.

It turned out that Lu Yu had just used the Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand to seal the bandit’s mute acupoint, preventing him from making loud noises.

If he had released the bandit and the latter immediately started shouting, he would have been unable to make a sound due to the sealed acupoint.

Lu Yu had anticipated this move by the bandit, preventing him from causing any trouble.

After confirming that the bandit had no intention of shouting, Lu Yu finally unsealed his mute acupoint.

“Now you can speak.”

The bandit, seeing the opponent’s mastery, was even more afraid, feeling fortunate that he hadn’t shouted earlier. Otherwise, he would surely be dead now.

“Those who were captured yesterday are locked up in the dungeon.”

Hearing that they were still alive, Lu Yu felt a surge of joy.

He was most afraid of coming here and hearing news of Ge San Shen’s death.

“Where? Take me there!”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The bandit responded hurriedly.

“Wait, swallow this first.”

Lu Yu took out a pill and stuffed it into the bandit’s mouth.

The bandit, before he could react, swallowed it whole.

“Cough cough cough… What is this?”

The bandit asked in fear.

“Poison! If you behave, I’ll give you the antidote later. But if you disobey, you’ll die in an hour!”

Lu Yu said ferociously.

Because he had been caught in the rain, his hair was already loose, and now his dishevelled look coupled with his fierce tone made him seem quite intimidating.

“Ah! I’ll be good! I’ll be good!”

The bandit was terrified, frantically nodding, afraid that Lu Yu wouldn’t give him the antidote.

But Lu Yu obviously didn’t have any poison. It was just an ordinary mud pill, used to bluff the bandit.

He had shown his skills and then pretended to poison him. The bandit, already terrified, dared not play tricks and immediately led Lu Yu towards the dungeon.

The territory of Hei Feng Fort wasn’t very large, nor did it have many people, only about fifty or so.

Under the cover of the heavy rain, Lu Yu’s actions were extremely smooth.

At the entrance of the dungeon, there were two guards, but they didn’t seem very spirited.

It was indeed easy to get sleepy in this weather.

“Damn it, how unlucky are we? Today it’s our turn to guard the dungeon. The boss and the others are having a good time, while we’re here freezing our butts off.”

One of the guards grumbled.

“Stop complaining. It’s our turn tomorrow. Today, those little beauties are really pretty, and after the boss and the others are done, we’ll get our turn.”

“Hehehe, you’re right!”

They looked at each other and let out lewd smiles.

At this time, Lu Yu, led by the bandit, arrived near the dungeon.

“That’s the dungeon. But there’s someone guarding it, so we can’t get in.”

The bandit said.

“Is there anyone guarding inside the dungeon too?”

Lu Yu looked around and asked.

“No. The fort doesn’t have many people, so two guards at the entrance are enough.”

As soon as the bandit finished speaking, he saw Lu Yu’s feet leave a blur as he moved to the guards in the blink of an eye, his two fingers striking out at the same time!

Sunflower Acupoint Striking Hand!

The next moment, the two guards, before they could react, were frozen in place.

Not only could they not move, but they couldn’t even speak.

“Come here.”

After doing this, Lu Yu turned to the bandit.

The bandit couldn’t help but swallow, clearly not expecting Lu Yu to be this strong.

He dared not have any other thoughts and hurried over.

Entering the dungeon, a damp musty smell hit them, and they could faintly hear cries.

“Wuwuwu… Mama, I want to go home. This place is so broken, and there are rats, cockroaches… Wuwuwu… I’m so hungry, I want to eat.”

A young boy, about seven or eight years old, was crying softly.

“Good boy, don’t be afraid. Go to sleep, you’ll be alright when you wake up.”

The woman spoke with a sob, but she controlled her emotions so as not to cry in front of the child.

Because she knew that if she cried, her child would be even more devastated.

“Girl, I have half a pancake left here, give it to the child. He’s still young, don’t let him go hungry.”

Ge San Shen took out half a pancake from her bosom and handed it to the girl.

“Thank you, granny! Thank you, granny!”

The woman, seeing this, quickly expressed her gratitude, extremely thankful. She immediately reached out to take the half pancake.

But at that moment, a large hand grabbed the pancake.

“Little brat, why are you eating? Give it to me!”

A man in gray clothes directly snatched the pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.

“You’re so grown up, why are you stealing food from a kid?”

Ge San Shen said angrily.

“What’s it to you! Whatever I like is mine! Little brat, don’t you agree?”

The man in gray ate the half pancake and then looked at the child ferociously, glaring at the woman and Ge San Shen.

The child dared not speak, and the woman trembled as well.

The others in the same cell didn’t dare to speak either.

This man in gray was tall and strong, so they dared not speak.

Their sense of justice at this moment was gone.

The man in gray finished eating but was still hungry, so he glared at Ge San Shen viciously and shouted: “Old hag! Do you have anything else hidden? Quickly hand it over! Otherwise, my fist doesn’t play nice!”

He swung his sandbag-sized fist and his eyes kept scanning Ge San Shen.

Seeing this, Ge San Shen was also scared, immediately saying: “No more, just that half a pancake.”

“I don’t believe you! I’ll search myself!”

The man in gray, about to charge and attack, the woman holding the child quickly said: “Brother, this old woman wouldn’t lie to you, don’t be rash.”

“Rash? So what if I’m rash! Damn it! We’ve fallen into the hands of bandits, chances of survival are slim. So if I’m going to die, I’d rather die a full belly! Get out of my way!”

The man in gray kicked the woman, sending her flying to the side.

“Mama!”

The young boy was anxious and immediately ran to the woman’s side.

At this time, the man in gray had reached Ge San Shen.

“Old hag! Hand over the food!”

“I really don’t have any more.”

Ge San Shen said anxiously.

“Damn it, don’t blame me for being rude!”

The man in gray was furious and immediately swung his fist towards Ge San Shen’s face.

Seeing this, Ge San Shen was terrified, unable to resist, and could only close her eyes in despair.

How come helping someone got her targeted by this villain.

“Ah!”

A shrill scream came, but it wasn’t Ge San Shen’s voice, but the man in gray’s.

He was kicked against the wall, his face bruised and swollen.
