The five of us fell almost from the same place, and the speed of falling was very fast. Fortunately, the gravel and sand on both sides were not big and could not cause any harm to me, but these gravels would still hit my face raw. pain.
Hanging in mid-air, Xu Jinxiu and I were closest to each other. The two of us thought of each other almost instantly and grabbed each other's arms. Xu Jinxiu grabbed the tiger's claw with one hand and used the resistance within his power to drag me to slow down my fall. speed.
Liu Siyuan used a dagger to lean against the wall to cushion her fall. Da Lian had a long whip in her hand. Although it was not as easy to use as Xu Jinxiu's tiger claws, her body was light and to a large extent, she was able to cushion her fall.
On the other hand, Liu Bao, not only the last one to fall, but also the first one to disappear without a trace, could only hear a sound echoing around him under the bottomless, pitch-black hole: "Oh, shit!" ...!"
To be honest, I was panicking in my heart, but more importantly, I was glad that I had lost my position in all directions, but I didn’t expect that there was still a fifth position under our feet, and this fifth position was the throne left behind!
Apart from panic, I was more anxious. If my judgment was wrong, the result would definitely be the destruction of the entire team!
This is more uncomfortable than letting me die directly, but things have to happen step by step. Right now, I live first, otherwise I won't even have a chance to fight.
The crackling gravel fell on my body. This process was extremely difficult. Not only did I have to worry about the falling objects from above, but I also had to worry about how to cushion my body. If I was hit by the gravel above, I would be injured. Will kill me in mid-air.
Not to mention the lower part of the fall, I might even be thrown directly to death. I can't help but worry about the pros and cons when weighing the pros and cons of the two.
Fortunately, Xu Jinxiu's skills are not bad, and his mental ability is also strong, so he can slow me down in mid-air.
"boom!!!"
A muffled sound passed through me, and I immediately felt my body sinking, and my internal organs were shaken to the point of pain.
Xu Jinxiu's tiger claw hooked into the gap in the wall, and our two bodies, due to inertia, hit the wall directly. At that moment, it is no exaggeration to say that I felt as if my internal organs were about to be shattered. Yes, extremely painful!
In order to prevent Xu Jinxiu from being injured by me, when I was near the wall, I forcibly twisted my body in the air and used my back as a cushion.
I touched my head with one hand and felt groggy all of a sudden. At first glance, there was a lot of blood on my hand. This was obviously caused by the impact on my head just now, which caused my head injury.
"Chen Ping, how are you?"
Seeing the blood on my hands, Xu Jinxiu became nervous for a moment. She wanted to check my injuries, but unfortunately, the upper end of the tiger's claw was broken by gravel, and the raised rock wall was as sharp as The knife cut off the rope of the tiger's claw, and the two of us were separated almost instantly, falling towards the infinite abyss.
This time, our luck was not so good. It was not a pool, let alone a lake, but an underground rapids!
At first glance, I spotted Liu Siyuan who was about to disappear by the river window. The emergency air cushion around his waist saved his life, but he remained in a coma.
Due to the high impact of the fall, I suffered a lot of damage. In addition, the back of my head was injured, and my vision was severely blurred.
I took a deep breath and rushed out of the water. At this moment, I was almost relying on my will to support my body.
More or less, I have reached the edge of the limit, but at this moment, I dare not think about anything at all, because I have not confirmed Xu Jinxiu’s situation. Once she leaves, life or death will be unpredictable!
Fortunately, we were lucky, and the places where we fell were not separated very far. However, the force of the rapids was so strong that we couldn't join together for a while.
"Jinxiu! Xu Jinxiu!"
I tried calling her twice, but she had fallen into a coma and couldn't hear my voice at all. I had no choice but to slide my limbs quickly, trying to catch Xu Jinxiu at the end of the rapids. live!
I don’t know where I got the strength from. My body was obviously in an extreme state of collapse, but I was still gritting my teeth and moving forward. Maybe my willpower was far stronger than I thought.
"Boom! Boom!!!"
At this time, a faint light illuminated, followed by the beating sound of the clinic, which felt like the sound made when the ear is placed against the heart.
The hearing in my ears was very blurry. At first, I thought it must be my problem and it should be the auditory hallucination that just occurred. But when I tried hard to catch Xu Jinxiu, the voice became inexplicably amplified.
That feeling seemed to be close to my ears, along with the beating of my heart. Every vibration seemed to resonate inexplicably with my heart!
My vision was severely blurred, and my strength was disappearing uncontrollably. I was still calm and sober. I fixed the rope around Xu Jinxiu's waist. In any case, the two of us were tied to the same rope. of grasshoppers.
Just when I looked up, my body suddenly froze in place, and my eyes were staring at the black hole in front of me. In the dark world, there was a place with a dim and yellow light. , and the owner of that light...
It turned out to be a candle dragon with horns!
It is very different from the Zhu Jiuyin I encountered before. This one goes deep into the ground. It is larger and more oppressive. It is far more like a weak one than the one I encountered before. Long worms.
I took a deep breath, and my consciousness finally stopped at the moment I saw Zhulong.
…
When I was in a daze, I seemed to hear someone shouting. In a daze, I could also feel that someone seemed to be lifting my body. Faintly, I seemed to hear someone shouting for help.
When I woke up in a daze, I felt as if my body was falling apart. The pain all over my body made me take a breath.
My head was wrapped with a bandage and was simply bandaged. In a blink of an eye, I woke up immediately. I quickly put aside the pain in my body and looked around.
Just like what I felt when I was in a state of confusion, at this moment, I was rescued by someone and was in a relatively dilapidated adobe house.
The environment can be said to be terrible, but compared to the time I was underground, this environment is already many times better.
At least, I don't have to sleep on the cold ground, and I don't have to worry about sudden dangers around me.
As for why I feel so sure, that is also based on the current environment.
If I had been caught, I wouldn't be lying on someone else's bed now, let alone someone treating my wounds, and I wouldn't be able to move so freely.
Having said that, I am vigilant and still need to know the current environment and be able to make countermeasures at any time.
I endured the pain in my body and used the strength of my arms to push my body up to a sitting position. But just as I was about to get up, there was a crunching sound of the door opening.
A tiger-hunting man in his late forties or nearly fifty came in and walked straight towards me.
"Hey! Brother, what are you doing? Your injuries are very serious. Hurry up and lie down and rest. I just picked some herbs. I will give them to you when the time comes. It will help you recover faster."
The man was very rough-looking and had a rather ferocious wound on his face, but when he smiled, he seemed extraordinarily approachable.
His identity seems to be that of a hunter. Behind the man, he carries an earthen single-shot gun, which should be used for hunting.
"I...where am I? Did you save us?"
"Yes, yes! My luck is really good. I was washed down from the mouth of the mother river and was fine. I really admire you."
I don’t know what dialect he speaks. I can understand some words, but I can’t understand some words he speaks too fast, but the meaning is basically not too different.
I rubbed my injured head. Seeing this, he quickly put the shotgun in his hand aside and dragged my wrist towards the bed.
"Brother, don't think about it. The place we are in now is a mountainous area with a small population. Ordinary outsiders rarely come to our place. The most common ones are a group of tomb robbers!"
As soon as I heard the word "grave robber", I suddenly became energetic, and I even thought about whether he knew something from the bottom of my heart.
If he spread this strange thing out, my life might be difficult.
I glanced at the watch behind me, and then looked at the middle-aged man beside me. If this news leaked out, my situation would become even worse.
Almost at the same time, I looked at the package on my pillow. The middle-aged man seemed to have misunderstood my idea. He quickly waved his hand and explained.
"Brother, please don't misunderstand me. I haven't even looked at your things since they were taken from you. We have rules here. We don't pay for outsiders' things, and we are not allowed to look through them casually. You can Take a look, are you missing anything?"
As he said that, he leaned his head over again, as if he was curious about what was in my backpack.
I glanced at him warily, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed and smiled at me.
"Sorry, brother, I'm also curious, so I just wanted to take a look. I always feel like there's a stone in your bag."
I didn't say anything, but instead took out a lot of money from my backpack. Seeing this, the middle-aged man's eyes straightened up.
This one costs at least two to three thousand yuan. He may have never seen so much red at once!
"Uncle, thank you for your help these days. Consider this money my reward for you."
"Oh, mom! You can't do this!"
