Just as Zhou Yun, Xiao Hang and others were rising rapidly inside the mountain, the huge ball of light hit the lake. After a violent shaking, the rocks inside the mountain smashed into the water like a meteorite rain.
Although everyone was still underwater, the dense rocks still hit an engineer and a crew member. The two were hit in the head and shoulder by two rocks the size of a round table. In bursts of blood, the two sank to the bottom of the dark lake.
After a short pause, the shaking stopped, the stones stopped falling, the mountain returned to calm, and everyone immediately floated to the surface of the water again...
Suddenly, everyone clearly felt that there seemed to be a strong force wrapping their bodies and falling to the bottom of the lake. It was the light ball evaporating the lake water, causing the water level to drop rapidly. The falling lake water pulled everyone to sink quickly to the bottom of the lake.
Xiao Hang only felt that his desperate efforts to float up under the pull of this force were of no use, and instead he was getting further and further away from the water. He realized the seriousness of the problem. If he allowed this force to pull him and did nothing, once The water level dropped to the bottom of the lake, and it was basically impossible to climb the wet and smooth rock walls on both sides to reach the protruding rock at the top.
He glanced at the rock walls on both sides. The rock walls were covered with dark green moss-like creatures. Perennial water erosion caused pits and gaps between the rocks.
"Hey!" He took out the dagger from his waist, and the sharp blade was inserted into the gap in the rock wall, and his body stopped sinking.
"Get me!" he shouted as he inserted the dagger.
Zhou Yun had quick eyes and quick hands. She stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiao Hang's leg. Then she freed up her other hand and pulled out the dagger from her waist with a "Oops!" and thrust it into the gap in the rock wall. At the same time, she motioned with her eyes to a Marine next to her to grab her leg.
The Marines also pierced the dagger into the rock wall while grabbing Zhou Yun's legs.
In this way, like a relay, everyone grabbed the legs of the previous person, and the people below also grabbed the legs in time. At the same time, the crew members and marines with daggers also pierced the daggers into the rock wall. in the gap.
Now, a total of 7 daggers were pierced into the rock wall, and the weight of more than a dozen people was spread out, reducing the force on the dagger in Xiao Hang's hand at the top.
The water level is still falling rapidly, and it will bottom out soon. Everyone is like a bunch of grapes hanging on the wet and smooth rock wall. At this moment, Xiao Hang, who is at the top, is about 8 meters away from the original water surface, which is the protruding rock. , and a Marine at the bottom is about 100 meters away from the bottom of the dried lake.
Everyone was caught in a dilemma. Above, there was a height of 8 meters, and a wet and smooth rock wall stretched across their heads; below, there was an abyss of nearly 100 meters, and if they were not careful, they would be shattered to pieces.
At this time, everyone felt the strong air currents surging in the mountain. The air currents formed rapidly rotating vortices, sweeping from the bottom to the top of the mountain. Their bodies were also swinging in the air currents. , several daggers inserted in the gaps in the rock wall showed signs of shaking.
The existence of airflow also proves that there should be an outlet to the outside at the top of the mountain, but this outlet is a strong wind outlet at this time. It forms a loop with the bottom of the lake, causing the internal and external air to form strong convection, and the conical shape Hollow mountains intensify the formation of air currents and amplify this effect.
"We're trapped," an engineering staff member said in panic.
At this time, a burst of bright and dim light was projected down, forming a dazzle of light and dark inside the mountain. The bright part was pale, while the dark part was like night.

Xiao Hang raised his head and looked at the top. The strong light was projected from the wind vent. The shielding of the wind vent caused the strong light to form a flickering glare. Obviously, it was related to the violent shaking and the rapid drop in the water level that had just occurred. , it must be the light emitted by some kind of powerful weapon.
Xiao Hang's judgment was correct. At this moment, in the sky above the center of the lake, the huge ball of light was spinning rapidly, absorbing a huge amount of lake water and scattering dazzling light outwards.
"We can't sit still and wait for death. We have to find a way to climb up." Zhou Yun said while looking at the wind vent at the top.
Xiao Hang nodded. He really couldn't waste his energy here. Once his physical strength reached the limit, he would inevitably fall to the bottom of the lake a hundred meters down. At that time, everyone would be unable to escape death.
There is still time, and besides, the external situation is not clear yet. Once violent shaking or some kind of accident occurs again, it will be too late to regret.
"Who still has a dagger?" Xiao Hang asked.
Everyone shook their heads. The scientific researchers and engineers did not carry any weapons, and all the daggers were stuck close to the gaps in the rock wall.
"The person at the bottom, pull out your dagger and hand it to me!" Xiao Hang said to the people below.
A marine at the bottom stared at Xiao Hang with surprised eyes, because there was a scientific researcher and an engineer hanging under him. Once the dagger was pulled out, all the weight of the two people would be concentrated on the upper part. Failure to do so may result in the risk of falling.
"Quick, this is an order!"
Facing Xiao Hang's scolding, the Marine had to start pulling out his dagger, but there was obvious panic on his face.
"It's okay, just hold on tight and move slowly." Zhou Yun comforted.
The Marine slowly shook the dagger inserted in the gap in the rock wall. At the same time, his other hand tightly grasped the leg of a crew member above him, and the two people below him were also nervous. He hugged the last person's legs.
The dagger was slowly withdrawn, and the Marine held it in his hand, concentrating and breathing, as if feeling whether the danger would really come...
Fortunately, everything turned out fine.
The dagger was passed to Zhou Yun's hand, and she handed it to Xiao Hang.
"I shout 1, 2, 3, and everyone slowly lifts their bodies up with me. Remember, the movements must be uniform! The person holding the dagger must pull out the dagger while I insert it, and then lift it upward again. Insert it into the gap in the rock wall, you must move quickly!"
Everyone nodded, and the person holding the dagger nervously clenched the dagger in his hand. Next, their operation would not only determine their lives, but also the safety of the people below.
After Xiao Hang finished speaking, he took a deep breath, tightly grasped the dagger embedded in the rock wall, and raised the dagger handed to him by Zhou Yun high into the air.
"Everyone, hurry up! 1, 2, 3, come on!"
Everyone worked hard, and as Xiao Hang's body rose upwards as a whole, when it reached the limit, there was only a sound of "噌!", and the dagger hanging in the air in Xiao Hang's hand penetrated deeply into the rock wall. In a gap, everyone's bodies stopped falling when the dagger was inserted.
Now, the dagger just inserted and the dagger Xiao Hang had inserted earlier formed a high and low misalignment, like two fulcrums, and everyone's body moved upwards as a whole by about 30 centimeters.
The strong air current was still howling in the mountain body. After everyone's bodies swung violently a few times without any accidents, their frowning eyebrows finally relaxed.
"Okay, very good! Everyone, continue, and be sure to follow the same steps as I told you before."
In this way, Xiao Hang led everyone to move upward bit by bit by inserting daggers into the rock wall.

After 15 minutes of climbing, he was the first to touch the protruding rock.
Above the rock is a relatively flat ground. At the end of the ground, a beam of bright light is projected in, and strong winds with whistles can also be heard.
Xiao Hang's face showed a look of joy. He concluded that the place where the bright light was projected was the exit of the mountain. In fact, it was true. They were close to success and were about to escape.
He took a deep breath and tried to climb up the rock with his arms, but failed after several attempts.
"We'll carry you up," one of the Marines said.
Xiao Hang shook his head. The strength of everyone might be able to push him up, but the surface of this rock is smooth and hard. It is neither easy to grasp nor insert a dagger. If he misses it, everyone will be affected.
After a brief thought, he looked at Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun understood what he meant. She grabbed Xiao Hang's leg tightly with one hand, then slowly pulled out the dagger inserted into the rock wall, and He handed the dagger to the Marine below.
"Insert into the rock crevice! The lives of everyone below are concentrated on the two daggers in your hands." She warned.
The Marine nodded and then inserted the dagger Zhou Yun handed him into the rock crevice.
Zhou Yun took a deep breath, crossed her arms, hugged Xiao Hang's legs tightly, and then bowed her body. While bowing, she stepped on the raised edges of the rock wall with her two feet.
She freed up one hand and pressed it on the rock wall. She pushed her body upwards and supported Xiao Hang to rise above the rock. As Xiao Hang rose, he jumped onto the rock.
The reaction force of pushing up Xiao Hang caused one of Zhou Yun's feet to miss, and her body suddenly fell downwards. At this critical moment, a hand stretched out from the rock and grabbed her arm tightly.
On the rock, Xiao Hang's face and body were close to the ground, one arm hung straight in the air, and Zhou Yun was tightly grasped under the arm.
She was saved.
After Zhou Yun was rescued, she and Xiao Hang didn't bother to rest and immediately started looking for any tools that could pull others up. However, wherever they looked, there was nothing on the top of the empty and damp mountain.
This is a conical space with an area of about 30 square meters, located at the top of the mountain.
The two set their sights on the place where the beam of light was projected. Intuitively, it should be the exit. The roaring wind and bright light confirmed this.
The two walked towards the bright light. After passing through a winding cave, a strong light rushed towards them, making them unable to open their eyes. After a brief moment of paleness, the endless green mountain appeared in front of them, and under their feet there were It's a lake that is slowly drying up.
The two of them realized that the place they were in was not a mountain, but a small island in the center of the lake. It was just a small island in the middle of the lake formed by this hollow mountain.
Suddenly, a strong light attracted the attention of the two people. They looked around and saw a huge, bright ball of light spinning crazily over the lake. The earth is accreted into the ball of light.
What surprised the two even more was that as huge amounts of lake water continued to be accreted, the size of the light ball was gradually increasing, and its brightness was also gradually increasing.
"No, we have to save them quickly! Otherwise it will be too late!" Xiao Hang shouted.
Zhou Yun also realized that the danger was coming. Without saying a word, she rushed to a tree, removed the electromagnetic pulse gun from her shoulder and ejected the lightsaber on the gun head.
She raised her gun and slashed hard, and a branch as thick as an arm broke.
She picked up the branches and ran quickly into the cave, with Xiao Hang following closely behind.
