Chapter 1929: Encounter (3)
Gu Xijiu’s first action was to teleport to the cell where the children were imprisoned. The door was tightly closed, and the half-men there had not found that the children had escaped; they still worked in an orderly manner.
As for the half-men that had been killed by Gu Xijiu, she had also thoroughly cleaned away their corpses. Unless someone were looking for those half-men that had died, their deaths would not be exposed for a while.
She turned around and wanted to find the place where the people behind the scenes lived. It was strange to say that she secretly caught several half-men and interrogated them, but they did not even know where their masters lived. It was noted that only the guards who were close to the master would know.
After exploring the place, Gu Xijiu finally knew how these passages worked. These were the branches of the big tree to transport nourishment! The number of passages was equivalent to the number of branches in this big tree. It was even more complicated than a spider web.
More importantly, the roads here were not arranged according to an array, so even if Gu Xijiu was good at recognizing the path, she would easily get lost.
Theoretically, the person behind the scene should live at the very top of the thickest trunk. However, Gu Xijiu had been running along the most spacious passage and ignoring the branches. In the end, it was a green wall, and she did not see any palace. Was she mistaken?
Where did this pervert behind the scenes live? She did not give up and continued to search on both sides of the passage, trying to see if there was a secret door or whatnot.
