Chapter 1022 The Thief Never Escapes
"Is this the retreat route you discussed? Owens...are you sure you're not kidding me?"
After Mia diverted the first wave of pursuers, Owens pushed Xia Wei'an who was sitting in the car and left the detention corridor unimpeded. ∷, At this time, the chaos on the island has reached an extremely serious level. Almost wherever you go, you will encounter people from the temple, or knight guards with bloody heads, or miscellaneous nuns running around, etc. However, it was precisely because they had no time to pay attention to the chaos of others that Xia Wei'an and the two managed to get through the situation and walked more than a hundred feet safely to a small courtyard.
This should be a place used for fetching water for washing. Surrounding the ancient well in the center of the courtyard, there are wooden buckets for water, large and small wooden basins for washing and washing, etc. lying all around. It looks a bit messy.
The escape time was limited, so Owens and Xia Wei'an entered the courtyard without retreating, which naturally had a special purpose. In fact, this is exactly the case. The ancient well is the exit of the passage where Owens jumped to the ground before.
If you can get out, you can naturally get in. Owens' plan was to take Xia Wei'an into the ancient well, then return along the route he sneaked in, and finally evacuate the island safely without anyone noticing.
It should be said that Owens' plan sounds very reliable. But... looking at the quiet ancient well in front of him, Xia Wei'an, who was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, frowned and looked up at Owens with a strange expression, "Are you sure... you want me to go in from here?"
"Of course." Owens quickly kicked away the wooden barrels and basins scattered on the ground next to the ancient well, and explained comfortingly, "Don't worry, I asked about it. I know that pregnant women should not touch cold water. The well water down here has already led me to other places. We went to the passage. Also, although the underground passage is a bit narrow, you don’t have to worry. After you go down, you just need to lie down on the wooden board and I will push you forward..."
After a pause, with a hint of satisfaction, he waved his hands confidently and concluded, "In short, leave everything to me. It won't have any impact on the fetus in your belly."
"It's quite thoughtful..." Xia Wei'an pinched her eyebrows, then sighed and stretched out her hand, pointing to the ancient well, "Then, how should I go down through the mouth of the well?"
"Go down?" Owens blinked in confusion, "Just go down like this... eh?" After a sudden pause, and watching Xia Wei'an's movements of wordlessly caressing her bloated belly, Owens suddenly realized something, and his expression suddenly became extremely exciting, Huo Ran turned his head and looked at the mouth of the well, which was not very open. Then he turned to look at Xia Wei'an's lower abdomen. Then turn around and look at the wellhead...
He turned his head back and forth as stiffly as a puppet, the atmosphere was awkward and silent!
Boom, boom, boom, a huge black dragon appeared out of the sky that shocked the past and the present!
Yes, that's right, don't doubt your judgment. The fact is that with Xia Wei'an's current bloated body shape, especially her protruding belly, she cannot pass through the narrow wellhead in front of her. She is destined to get stuck——
A hundred secrets and a sparse, a hundred secrets and a sparse!
Come to think of it, neither Owens, who was staring blankly at the mouth of the well, nor Tang En, who was leading the temple pursuers in circles, would have thought that their rescue plan, which had been carefully considered several times, would actually hide such a big clue. Oolong...
Trying to climb the mountain and fall short of the mark? Isn’t this funny?
But then again, this mistake is easy to understand if you put it bluntly. After all, Tang En and the others are all men, and they are single, with a serious lack of relevant experience. How can they know the huge waistline of a pregnant woman...
After a moment of silence, Owens's cheek muscles twitched, then twitched again, took a deep breath, coughed twice, and decisively pushed the wooden wheelchair around: "There is still time, let's find another place!"
The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. There was absolutely no way Xia Wei could go down into this ancient well. If they dived forcefully, they would easily get bumped into each other. This was a risk neither Owens nor Xia Wei'an dared to take. So now they can only give up their original plan and find another spacious ancient well...
The temple island is quite large and has many ancient wells. With how familiar Xia Wei'an and the two were with this place, it would not be difficult to find another suitable ancient well. But before Owens could push Xia Wei'an out of the courtyard, a shout suddenly came from behind him,
"Stop!" A small group of more than ten knights rushed into the courtyard against the gray smoke in the sky. When they looked up, they saw the two Owens leaving with their backs turned. They shouted, "Where did you come from? Have you seen any signs of outsiders?”
Owens paused, lowered his head and frowned, knowing that the period of time for Mia's cover had passed. There was no doubt that this was the pursuer who came to search for them. Fortunately, because of his disguise as a low-level knight, the other party did not immediately suspect...
As soon as his mind changed, Owens turned slightly to block Xia Wei'an's body, bowed his head and saluted: "Captain, we came from the east side hall. My companion was injured, and I was about to send him to treatment, but there was no one." Noticed signs of outsiders.”
Owens, of course, did not take this small group of knights seriously, but after all, he was not Twain, and he was not sure that he could make these dozen knights fall instantly without issuing a warning. So if you can get by without alerting others, that would be great.
The team leader didn't see through Owens' disguise. In fact, he just asked casually. Hearing this, he simply nodded and waved, "Okay. Brothers, let's go to the front and take a look..."
Before he finished speaking, a low-ranking knight on the side looked up and down at Owens, who was bowing his head. He looked confused, as if he looked familiar. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Owens? You are Knight Commander Owens." grown ups?!"
I wipe it!
Owens, who had already turned around to leave, suddenly stiffened when he heard this, feeling extremely depressed. Is this the tragedy of celebrities? I've disguised myself like this, can you still recognize me?
"Sir Owens? Hasn't that already betrayed... Damn it, it's them! Catch them!"
"Seeking death!" Seeing that his identity was exposed, Owens naturally did not hesitate anymore, decisively waved his gun and turned around, and was about to pounce on the opponent and annihilate him.
However, at this moment, the captain who had summoned more than a dozen knights to come forward and besiege him hurriedly retreated, flashing back to the back of the crowd. Don’t get me wrong, this is not about imitating current leadership styles. On the contrary, it is a very wise reaction. Everyone knows that they cannot keep Owens and Owens, after all, the strength gap is there. He was going to take the opportunity to sound a warning whistle. Summon the surrounding companions to come to encircle and suppress... at this moment. suddenly,
Something unexpected happened suddenly, and with a cry, a black shadow that looked like a brick appeared from nowhere and flew into the sky.
"Eat a brick from your uncle!"
"Be careful!" "What..."
The knight who was rushing at the front suddenly raised his head, only to feel that his eyes suddenly went dark, and a strong wind hit his head quickly. He subconsciously raised his hand and fired. Good accuracy. Accurate stab! But the next moment,
Boom - flames rose and air waves rolled. In the violent explosion, the figures of more than ten knights were instantly engulfed in the smoke, and then they were shot out of the smoke like unloaded cannonballs. They either smashed down the courtyard wall, or flew directly over the courtyard wall, scattered in all directions, and they were lifeless. !
"Crack!" Owens, who was about to pounce, saw the waves of flames rolling in front of him, and he quickly stopped forcibly. He roared angrily and thrust his gun across his chest. The sacred light explodes frontally and fiercely.
Behind him is Xia Wei'an, a pregnant woman, so naturally she can't hide. Fortunately, although this change was quite powerful, with his peak earth-level strength, he could still sustain it. Of course, a little embarrassment is inevitable...
"Jack? Ahem...your uncle..."
"Haha, isn't it your uncle Jack and me?" That's right, his eyes turned around, and that person was jumping up from the ancient well like a groundhog. Who else could it be if it wasn't Jack? He looked up to the sky and laughed, "I knew you kid couldn't handle it. Sure enough, you have to rely on me, Uncle Jack, at the critical moment! Haha..."
Okay, although the tone is a bit harsh, the facts are indeed true. Jack suddenly made a sneak attack and hit KO, which wiped out the whole team of knights without arousing the slightest suspicion from the surrounding pursuers. What? You ask about that loud explosion just now? Come on, the temple will always be short of everything now, but it will not be short of explosions and roars...
"Ahem..." Owens, puffing out black smoke, rolled his eyes speechlessly, "Why did you come out?"
"Nonsense, most of the underground passage has collapsed. Why don't you come out and wait for death?" Jack rolled his eyes in return and said angrily. Then he turned his eyes and saw Xia Wei'an sitting in a wooden wheelchair. His expression suddenly changed. He rubbed his hands and leaned over, "This is my sister-in-law... my sister-in-law Xia Wei'an, right? Haha, you are indeed very charming. You Maybe you don’t know me, um, let me introduce myself, my name is Jack the Great Thief, and I am the eldest brother of that boy Tang En.”
"I've heard of you." Xia Wei'an nodded politely, "Thank you for coming to save me."
"It should, it should, who made me his brother! Haha..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Owens came over, "Did you just say that the underground passage collapsed? How should we retreat now? And... what the hell did you just throw?"
"Don't worry, I've parked the small kayak on the south coast of the island. It's not far from here. We can just kill it while it's random. As for the things just thrown..." Jack simply opened his coat and said, "You can see for yourself." "
"What are you looking at... scary!" Owens glanced casually, his expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously stopped in front of Xia Wei'an, holding the gun across his chest again, as if facing a formidable enemy, "Magic lock! Take off the magic lock and bring it here Already?!"
It's tied around Jack's waist, red, blue, white... fire, water, light... jingling, like small bricks wrapped around in a circle, colliding with each other, but it's not Are they the magic locks they encountered when they sneaked into the temple headquarters before?
Who would have thought that Jack would actually remove the central explosive devices of these magic locks from the magic traps one by one, and bundle them up and carry them with him... No wonder the knight just shot it casually, but it caused such a violent reaction. You must know that this is a dangerous thing that is ten times more terrifying than exploding crystals!
In other words, the current Jack is simply a humanoid self-propelled cannon! Or a high-end product that can cause self-mutilation or self-explosion...
However, the person involved was obviously not aware of this, and scratched his head quite proudly: "Thieves don't cheat, and thieves don't cheat. Professional habits, purely professional habits, haha..."
Amidst the arrogant laughter, Owens and Xia Wei'an looked at each other, twitching the corners of their mouths at the same time, and then moved a few steps sideways without leaving a trace, widening the distance...
