Just as the group of people was approaching the foot of the mountain in a roundabout way, Bai Hu, who was carrying Shi Bao and following leisurely aside, suddenly lost his footing and fell into the ground before he could react.
Everyone was shocked by this turn of events and rushed over there.
I originally thought it was just a crack in the ground, but I didn't expect it to be a huge pit.
This seems to be a man-made trap. The walls of the cave are steep and straight up and down. The diameter is more than two feet wide, and the depth is bottomless!
Everyone saw that the four claws of the white tiger were deeply sunk into the cave wall, and there was a faint tendency to continue to slide downward. However, the bottom of the white tiger's body was dim, and it was unclear how deep it was.
Shi Bao hugged Bai Hu's neck tightly. He didn't panic or yell. He just looked up at the people on the top of the cave with a helpless look.
Lin Yan lay down beside the cave and shouted to him: "Shi Bao! Hold the white tiger tight and don't let go! Don't panic, don't be afraid! We will find a way to save you right away!"
Shi Baonai’s purring voice came up: “Yes!”
The white tiger is huge and weighs a lot, but because the ground is frozen by the severe cold weather, although her claws are sharp, they cannot be fully inserted into the ground to prevent them from slipping.
Shi Lingyao urgently mobilized the sleeping seeds in the surrounding land, stimulating them to grow rapidly and turn into huge vines in an attempt to pull Bai Hu and Shi Bao up.
But the movement of the vines growing and breaking through the ground caused the earth to shake, and the white tiger actually slid down several feet!
She was so frightened that she stopped quickly.
Bai Hu let out a low "bluff", and she connected with Bai Hu's thoughts and understood that she wanted her to save Shi Bao first.
She raised her voice and said, "Xiao Tian! Hold on!"
Then he gritted his teeth and started to encourage the vines to grow.
The roar of the ground shaking sounded again, and the white tiger roared, and his body fell straight down.
At the critical moment, her thick and powerful tail rolled up Shi Bao on her back and actually wanted to throw him up!
It's just that they fell too deep. No matter how light Shi Bao was, he was only a four-year-old child. Just using his tail was not enough to throw him up.
Seeing that Shi Bao was about to fall again, Xiaoxiao let out a scream and covered her mouth in fear.
However, under the frightened eyes of everyone, Shi Bao remained calm and firmly inserted the fingertips of his hands into the frozen soil.
Everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yan immediately realized that this little guy was not a normal human child, and it was not surprising that he could do this.
Those small white fingers were actually more powerful than the white tiger's claws, and they penetrated deeply into the frozen soil. It was not surprising to him...it was strange!
Which normal child would be so defiant? ! There are outsiders here! Lin Yan didn't dare to look at Xiaoxiao and Jiang Heng's expressions now.
Jiang Heng and Xiaoxiao didn't know Shi Bao's true identity. After heaving a sigh of relief, they immediately realized how shocking the world was for this little four-year-old child to insert his hands into the frozen soil.
Shi Bao landed on a wall higher than Bai Hu.
Bai Hu let out a low "bluff" at his feet.
Shi Bao seemed to understand what Bai Hu meant, and comforted her in a sweet voice: "It's okay, Tiantian, I know you want to save me."
The vines finally broke through the frozen soil, wrapped around Bai Hu and Shi Bao, and lifted them out.
Jing Hexuan immediately lifted the little guy up, stuffed it into his arms, and opened his fingers to check.
I don't know whether he did it intentionally or not, but he tilted his body slightly, just blocking the eyes of Jiang Heng and Xiaoxiao.
Lin Yan also stepped forward: "Oh, you little thing, you scared us!"
This time, Shi Bao was blocked even more tightly.
They heard Shi Bao giggle: "Shi Bao is so brave! Save Shi Bao every day!"
Lin Yan repeatedly echoed: "Yes, you are the bravest! Xiao Tian is also great!"
But he just talked about it, and he definitely didn't dare to touch it.
This huge white tiger, with shoulders as high as a human chest, looked like a big cat only when facing Shi Lingyao and Shi Bao. To everyone else, it looked like a majestic, sacred and inviolable white tiger.
If he dared to touch someone else's head, his own head might be in danger the next moment.
Xiaoxiao was very attentive, and she naturally discovered the irrationality of Shi Bao's behavior just now. Just seeing everyone's expressions as normal, she knew that they knew it themselves but couldn't tell outsiders.
So he didn't ask anything else, but asked worriedly: "Is Shi Bao injured?"
Shi Lingyao shook his head, but his eyes were looking at the deep pit, with a thoughtful look on his face: "What are you trying to trap? Why dig such a huge deep pit?"
Others came closer and looked down.
Lin Yan held his chest and stepped back: "I'm a little dizzy..."
Zhang Xing: "You have so many problems."
Lin Yan glared at him.
Jing Hexuan looked at her: "Go down and take a look?"
Jiang Heng shook his head in disapproval: "We don't know anything about the surrounding situation right now. If we go down hastily, if there is another accident..."
Jing Hexuan's eyes turned to Jiang Heng, his expression as usual: "What Jiang Village Master said makes sense, why don't I accompany Baobao down there, and you guys wait above. If there is an accident, you guys can deal with it easily from above."
She was concentrating on using her mind to explore the bottom of the pit, and found that there was actually a passage at the bottom of the pit. It was not big, not small, and could only allow one person to pass through.
So he didn't notice the deliberately intimate address in Jing Hexuan's words. He stared at the bottom of the pit without turning his head. He raised his hand and patted Jing Hexuan beside him: "There is another passage below."
Jing Hexuan secretly tried to regain the game and replied: "Then let's go down and take a look."
Lin Yan stood far away and couldn't help but said: "Boss, shall I go down with you?"
Jing Hexuan refused ruthlessly: "I'll take you to get in the way."
Lin Yan: "?" I feel aggrieved, but I won't say anything.
Shi Lingyao nodded: "It's easier for us to get away."
She said and turned to look at Jiang Heng: "Jiang Heng, you happened to be up there...what's wrong with you?"
She stopped talking and asked him strangely: "Your face doesn't look good. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Jiang Heng's face turned a little pale. Hearing this, he forced a smile and said, "It's okay. What do you want me to do?"
She was a little worried and looked him up and down to make sure he was fine, then continued: "You can walk around, probably..."
He said pointing in a direction.
"You can walk over there and take a look, but you don't need to go deep. If you don't find anything unusual after getting closer for a mile or so, just pull back."
Jiang Heng nodded: "Okay, I understand."
She turned to look at Shi Bao on the white tiger's back: "Stay there and don't run around."
Shi Bao stared blankly: "I miss my mother..."
She said with a straight face: "No acting like a baby."
Shi Bao had no choice but to tighten his mouth and look aggrieved.
She no longer cared about Shi Bao, told Zhang Xing to keep an eye on him, then turned around and jumped into the pit.
Jing Hexuan followed closely behind.
He seemed to have glanced at Jiang Heng accidentally before jumping down, his expression as cold as ever.
But the moment Jiang Heng met his gaze, the expression on his face tensed up.
Others knew nothing about the dire straits between these two people, and all their attention was focused on the pit.
Jiang Heng's fist slowly clenched, but in the end he was unable to loosen it.
Just like he always struggled silently.
