Chapter 1305 - 407: Turn Against_3
Leituo’s eyes flickered slightly, and he had to admit that Weiya’s words had struck a chord with him. After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and finally made a decision, "Then we’ll do as you said."
Weiya breathed a sigh of relief, her beautiful red lips curving into a cruel arc.
These past few days, Mo Yan had been very anxious, especially after seeing Leituo and Weiya, along with others, carrying out heavy boxes just like they did a few days before. Her anxiety turned to unease.
"Xue tuanzi, what do you think they are doing? My heart is beating fiercely, and I can’t shake the feeling that something has happened that I don’t know about," Mo Yan anxiously asked Xue tuanzi, looking at the few remaining wooden boxes on the other side of the cave.
When she had woken up in the cave, there had been nothing there. It was just two days ago that the Uto People had brought these large boxes inside, and the guards watching her forbade her from coming within half a step of the pile of boxes. Originally, she suspected the boxes contained gunpowder, which was later confirmed by Xue tuanzi.
Mo Yan’s first instinct was that the gunpowder was meant to be used against Xiao Ruiyuan, and she tried to pour Spirit Spring Water into them at night while everyone was asleep. Unfortunately, to her dismay, the people were very cautious—perhaps worried that the gunpowder might get wet during transportation—they had wrapped the boxes in layers of oilpaper, at least a dozen times over.
The Spirit Spring Water didn’t have any effect, but a careful Weiya noticed it. With no signs of dampness on the ceiling of the cave, the Uto People had no idea where the water had come from and didn’t believe Mo Yan had the capacity or freedom to cause such damage, so they simply moved the gunpowder boxes to another location.
Mo Yan didn’t dare take further risks, and could only watch as the gunpowder boxes accumulated, knowing she couldn’t just set fire to them. Blowing up the Uto People would be one thing, but the cave would surely collapse. Even if she hid in Space without risking her life, based on the letter that stated that Space could not move on its own, she had no hope of seeing daylight again.
