Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 301 Covering the Way

Han Yi was responsible for covering for Xu Yao.

After leaving the dungeon, Xu Yao went directly to the backyard of Yun Manor. He knew there were dogs there during the day.

Therefore, Xu Yao tried to walk on the roof as much as possible, because if he walked on the ground, he would be spotted by the dogs.

If the dog barks, then Xu Yao naturally won't be able to escape either.

As Xu Yao scaled the rooftops, he activated the system: "System, where is the treasure?"

"Give me specific instructions. I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't get my hands on this treasure."

As soon as Xu Yao finished speaking, the system presented him with a 3D terrain map, pointing to one of the locations: "Under a room with a white roof ahead."

"There is a secret room, and this is where the treasure is located. The host can go and check its location."

Xu Yao nodded in agreement. It seemed that things were going well this time, at least the treasure wasn't too far away.

Xu Yao arrived at the top of the white roof and carefully examined it after removing the roof tiles.

Upon seeing it, Xu Yao immediately realized that there was no one in the house.

Seeing that no one was in the room, Xu Yao rolled down and quietly opened the door.

Just then, a voice came from behind: "Hey, aren't you supposed to be in the dungeon?"

"How did you end up here now? Are you looking for death?"

Xu Yao turned around and saw that a group of Yunzhuang disciples had surrounded him without him noticing.

Xu Yao was dumbfounded. He had actually been discovered. His luck was really bad.

Xu Yao chuckled and said, "I can come and go as I please."

After saying that, Xu Yao rushed into the room and closed the door behind him.

The disciples outside also began banging on the door.

Xu Yao knew he needed to find a place to leave quickly, otherwise the situation would become serious.

After all, if more and more people join in, things could get complicated.

Just then, Xu Yao also noticed a strange vase in the room.

Upon seeing the vase, Xu Yao immediately suspected a mechanism, so he rushed over and opened it.

Sure enough, there was a mechanism inside; a door suddenly appeared in one of the walls of the room.

However, this door requires a key, which Xu Yao naturally doesn't have, and there's a group of people chasing him outside.

There's no way to find the key right now, so naturally, Xu Yao has to come up with a solution.

At this moment, Xu Yao, without thinking twice, smashed the door open.

After the main gate was smashed, a secret passage appeared.

Without a second thought, Xu Yao went into the secret passage.

Xu Yao had only been in the secret passage for a short time when he saw the Yun Sect disciples also breaking down the door and entering.

Upon seeing the gate open, the group of disciples became very nervous and rushed inside.

However, Xu Yao was quite skilled; after entering the stone chamber, he began to turn left and right inside.

He basically took the disciples of Yunzhuang around everywhere, but he didn't want them to follow him.

At this moment, Xu Yao knew that he had no way to fight against many people in such a narrow passage, so running away was the best option.

Soon, Xu Yao saw a large gate ahead, and he did so almost without thinking.

He rushed straight into the gate, and after Xu Yao entered, he heard a loud bang behind him.

It seemed that something else had also fallen, and only then did Xu Yao realize that he hadn't known when it happened.

They had actually entered the stone chamber, and the door behind them closed.

So Xu Yao breathed a sigh of relief; he was at least somewhat safe now.

The disciples outside said, "This person has gone into the basement. Go find the master of the manor quickly."

Master Xu himself had followed the great shaman to find his daughter's grave, and it was there that he found his daughter's grave.

Hesitation was too great for his grief, so he did not examine the body, but simply brought the great shaman back.

Master Xu was already deeply saddened, and now he heard that Xu Yao had escaped from the dungeon and entered the basement inside Yun Manor.

Enraged, Master Xu ordered, "Find this guy and drown him! Give me the water!"

As ordered by the manor lord, the disciples opened the mechanism in the stone chamber, and whoever followed them into the chamber.

At this moment, Xu Yao, who was resting in the stone chamber, heard something around him.

Xu Yao was curious. The sound seemed to be the sound of flowing water, but this place was a basement, so how could there be the sound of flowing water?

Just as Xu Yao was feeling curious, he suddenly realized that this Master Xu wanted to drown him.

Absolutely right, such basements do have these kinds of mechanisms, which are essentially designed to prevent anyone from entering and discovering the secrets inside.

It was prepared to kill someone and silence them, so there's naturally no problem with that.

But things have turned out differently now; it seems that these agencies also have some problems.

The sound of flowing water seemed to be getting closer and closer to Xu Yao.

Before long, water was flowing out of the stone chamber. Xu Yao was furious and said, "You bastard surnamed Xu, you dare to do such a mess!"

"They're trying to drown me," Xu Yao said.

"The system has detected that the host is in danger. Please rest assured that the system will provide protection and ensure that the host will not drown."

"Please follow the route provided by the system to escape," the system said.

That's why you have to rely on your own system in critical moments; right now, it's my own system that's saving me.

Xu Yao barely hesitated before replying to his system, "Alright, now hurry up."

"I don't know what to do right now, but I think your system should be able to come in handy at a critical moment."

In an instant, the system created an egg-shaped protective shield over Xu Yao's entire body, protecting him.

Then a route map appeared in front of Xu Yao, and Xu Yao saw this situation.
