Chapter 43: Rescue!

  Ling Tian teased Ling'er for a while and then left the system without waiting for her to explode, leaving Ling'er alone to scold him as a pervert.

  Leaving the system, Ling Tian picked up a drink from the table and took a sip. He bent down to pick up "Baicao Record" and started studying it. After initial research, this "Baicao Record" indeed included the refining methods of hundreds of kinds of elixirs, as well as some treatments for difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

  There were some things in it that he could understand, and some that he had never understood before. So, with nothing to do, Ling Tian'ao lay on the sofa to study. Although he said he wouldn't be working in the medical field in the future, this was his way of making a fortune, so he still needed to know something about it.

  No matter what, he was still a Danzong master-level person. He couldn't understand the others, but when it came to alchemy, he could still make sense of it. The more he read about those elixirs, the more astonishing they seemed, and the more fascinated he became. Just as he was about to delve deeper into his research, the phone on the table began to vibrate.

  "Save me! Southwest suburb!"

  He picked up his phone, and there were only a few words on the short message, but they made Ling Tian Ao jump up from the sofa. The sender was Lin Tian!

  Suddenly, a bad premonition surged up in his mind. Lin Tian wouldn't joke about this kind of thing, and since he accompanied Zhang Yun out last night, he hadn't contacted them again. Ling Tian'ao and the others naturally thought that Lin Tian was with Zhang Yun and didn't think much of it. But now that they looked at it, things seemed not to be so!

  After all, Zhang Yun and Lin Tian are both extremely conservative in nature. The two have known each other for almost half a year now, and they only just shared their first kiss two days ago. It seems like things are moving too fast if they're already doing that sort of thing. At this point, it's too late to reconsider!

  Ling Tian Ao had not yet recovered from his shock when his mobile phone suddenly vibrated again.

  "Old Three, have you received the message?"

  As soon as the phone was connected, Liao Ke yelled in a bad tone on the other end of the line.

  "What? You've received it too?"

  Ling Tian Ao was slightly surprised, it turned out that he wasn't the only one who received the distress message.

  Zhang Wenyao and Liao Keyang, even including Xiao Nvwang, all received the message, or it can be said that everyone who participated in the Yuegu incident received the message.

  Ling Tian Ao started to feel that something was off, his mind racing, his thoughts slowly clearing up, and the whole thing seemed to be becoming clearer.

  It's obvious that the other party wants to gather them all together, Lin Tian's personality is arrogant and proud, even if he asks for help, he will only send it to one person, because Lin Tian knows that as long as one of these people knows, everyone else will know too, there's no need to waste time sending so many.

  Furthermore, think about it, when Lin Tian was kidnapped and his life was in danger, would he be able to send three or four consecutive text messages with his phone? Would the other party allow him to send text messages so openly?

  "Wait for me at the school gate, I'll be right there, don't rush, things are complicated!"

  Ling Tian Ao finished speaking and directly hung up the phone. At this time, he didn't even bother with the "Bai Cao Lu" in his hand, throwing it aside and rushing out the door.

  "Old Three, what's wrong with you?"

  At the school gate, Zhang Wenyao saw Ling Tian'ao hurrying over and asked.

  "Don't you think it's strange? If Linzi was seeking help, why would he send the same message to all four of us? He only needed to send one and we'd all know."

  Ling Tian Ao didn't see Xiao Nu Wang and knew that Xiao Nu Wang might not have arrived yet, so he took this opportunity to explain.

  "What you mean is that it wasn't Linzi who sent the message himself, but someone else took his phone?"

  Zhang Wenyao is not stupid, and after Ling Tian'ao finished speaking, he somewhat understood.

  "That's right, with Linzi's personality, if there really was a big danger, he wouldn't possibly tell us about it. He would rather call the police than let us know, but this time he sent us a message so openly?"

  Ling Tian's eyes rolled wildly as he still couldn't clearly understand what was going on, but one thing he could be certain of was that Lin Tian was indeed in danger!

  "Really? So Linzi might be fine and just playing a joke on us?"

  Liao Ke Yang seemed to have not reacted yet, patted his head, and had an unpleasant expression.

  "No! On the contrary, Linzi is in great danger now! This message can confirm that it was not sent by Linzi, but why would Linzi's phone be in someone else's hands? I think this matter must have something to do with the people from Le Valley. They are all ancient martial artists and wouldn't give Linzi a chance to send us a text or make a call. And since Linzi knows they're ancient martial artists, it's impossible for him to actively notify us to go to our deaths. So they took away Linzi's phone and sent us this message just to let us go to our deaths. Now they must have made all the preparations and are waiting for us!"

  Suddenly, Ling Tian Ao thought of the ancient warriors who had been following them for the past few days and instantly understood everything. It seemed that they had underestimated the power of Le Valley!

  "What are we going to do? Can't just stand by and watch them catch Linzi?"

  Liao Ke Yang's five senses were all tangled up together, yet he didn't know what to do.

  "It's impossible! We must go, we can't leave Linzi behind!"

  Ling Tian'ao glared at Liao Kejiang on the spot, this kind of talk was absolutely not allowed in Ling Tian'ao's opinion.

  Liao Ke Yang saw the look in Ling Tian Yao's eyes and suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart, although it was only for an instant. However, he still clearly felt it, but he knew that Ling Tian Yao had no ill intentions, he was just too impatient.

  "What if Xi comes?"

  Zhang Wenyao looked at Xiao Ruoxi who was walking quickly beside him and could tell that she was also in a hurry.

  "Let's play it by ear! Go take a look first!"

  Ling Tian Ao decisively hailed a taxi and headed southwest.

  To the southwest of Annan, it's a vast and open area, which is a scattered industrial zone with many chemical or heavy metal factories. Although it's not desolate, generally speaking, most vehicles passing by are trucks, while pedestrians and ordinary vehicles rarely come to such places.

  Lin Tian's message didn't specify the location, but Ling Tian Ao could guess that they wouldn't have taken Lin Tian to a place with dense factories, it must be somewhere even farther away from the factories.

  The taxi drove for almost an hour before Ling Tian'ao and his friends got out of the car.

  This place has long since moved away from those factories, although there are still many factories around, but much fewer, and most of them are also abandoned. This place looks even more desolate, with weeds growing all over the ground, and a few large trees scattered in the distance.

  "Humming"

  Just as Ling Tian was about to call Lin Tian's phone, the other party called first.

  "Is it Ling Tian Ao? Continue walking forward for about 500 meters and you will see a factory building, your brother is waiting for you there!"

  A middle-aged man's dull voice came from the phone and then hung up after finishing speaking.

  Ling Tian clenched his teeth, it seemed that the opponent's strength was not weak. He had just arrived here and the opponent already knew about him. He looked up and scanned around, but didn't find anyone. It seemed that this time the opponent was not simple!

  Helpless, they continued to move forward. When the four of them walked about 500 meters, they indeed found a factory building. It was an old factory building that could be considered ancient, a small bungalow with only one floor and a height of about three meters, which looked like it had an area of around one or two hundred square meters from the outside.

  The white walls outside have some peeling, the rusty metal gate is slightly ajar, and there are many small windows about half a meter square on the surrounding three-meter-high wall.

  The entire factory was shrouded in an aura of mystery, or rather, fear, which made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

  However, a few people had no choice but to continue forward. Soon, several of them arrived at the factory gate. Ling Tian'ao looked at the heavily rusted large door and didn't hesitate anymore. In an instant, he sprang up with great force and kicked it with one foot.

  Boom!

  A loud crash, and the thick heavy door was kicked open by Ling Tian Yao with one foot, making a "creaking" sound.

  "Not bad! To have such strength at a young age is indeed surprising!"

  As the gate opened, a gloomy voice came from inside!
