Fatty Wu's eyesight was not very good, so at such a long distance, he could only see a point of light.

After getting closer, Fatty Wu could clearly see the majestic dragon head like a mountain, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

When they were a hundred meters away, they could already clearly see the door.

It is more like a cave entrance than a door. It is a seemingly naturally formed cave entrance. The cave entrance is uneven and does not look like it was carved out of artificial rock.

The entrance of the cave is exceptionally bright, with red and yellow lights flashing continuously in it, and billowing heat flowing out of the entrance. Even though we are hundreds of meters away, we can still feel the warmth coming towards us.

From the time we fell into the biting lake water to now, Fatty Wu and I have been in a state of hypothermia. If this continues, it may directly endanger our lives.

So this warm wave came at the right time. For the two of us, it was undoubtedly a timely help.

"Dongzi, are you leaving?"

Fatty Wu turned his head and looked. After so many dangers along the way, Fatty Wu also changed his past recklessness and learned to act with caution.

After I nodded, Fatty Wu couldn't wait to run towards the hole where the heat was gushing out.

"Dongzi, this cave entrance is so comfortable and warm. Come here quickly!"

Soon Fatty Wu was approaching the entrance of the cave, but he did not go in. Instead, he stood at the door and waved and shouted at me, obviously waiting for me to go over and enter.

I had been observing Fatty Wu's situation all the way before, and when I saw that nothing happened, I felt relieved.

"coming!"

I then agreed and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

I walked very fast, because now I was really cold, my whole body started to shiver uncontrollably, and I wanted to feel the warmth as soon as possible.

suddenly.

When I was less than ten meters from the entrance of the cave, I suddenly stopped, my brows furrowed, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down my forehead.

I suddenly had a strange feeling. I was so close to the entrance of the cave. All my body felt was the warm wind coming from the front. But just now, there was a warm wind coming from the back of my neck. There was a biting chill, and it felt like a ghost was blowing at me from behind.

If it were just like this, I might think it was the body's instinctive reaction to expel cold, but there was still a strange feeling filling my sensory nerves.

At that moment, I felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at me from behind me. The feeling was so strong that it definitely didn't look like I was imagining things.

I tightened my grip on the short knife that Fatty Wu had given me earlier, gritted my teeth, and turned suddenly behind me.

However, when I turned around, there was nothing in front of me. The feeling of being stared at disappeared immediately. The huge space in front of me was deathly silent.

"Dongzi, what...what happened?"

Seeing me suddenly turning around, Fatty Wang asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, maybe I'm too nervous."

I replied, and then stood there for a while, then moved towards the entrance of the cave again.

Am I really too nervous?

No, because the feeling of being stared at is really too real, and it is definitely not an illusion caused by mental stress.

Arriving at the cave in the mouth of the huge stone dragon, almost all the chill in the body was swept away.

If it was freezing cold just now, now it is warm and pleasant.

I was not in a hurry to go in, but stood at the entrance of the cave and looked in. I found that the cave in front of me seemed to stretch for a long time. It was impossible to see the end at a glance, and it was still going up on a slope.

If this is a passage that leads to another place, it should be possible to return to the previous level.

Only when we get there can we meet Gouzi and the other three.

I asked for my opinion again, and after I nodded in agreement, Fatty Wu couldn't wait to step into the cave entrance.

I followed closely and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

But the moment my feet entered the hole, the feeling of being stared at suddenly appeared again, and it was even stronger than before.

I once again held the short knife alertly and turned around, but I still didn't see anything.

Everything was so quiet, the cold lake surface was as calm as a mirror.

That feeling disappeared again, as if it suddenly disappeared the moment I turned around.

"Dongzi, hurry up and leave when you arrive!"

Fatty Wu had already walked far away and stood there urging me again.

We have already entered the cave entrance. Even if I really saw something strange, I would not face it directly at all, so I didn't hesitate too much, turned around hurriedly and followed quickly.

What I didn't know was that shortly after I turned around and left, some tiny rocks rolled down outside the cave entrance, and on the dragon-head-shaped boulder, there was a huge black shadow climbing, with a pair of eyes staring faintly. The location of the hole below.

Walking in the naturally formed passage, Fatty Wu originally ran forward full of energy, but as time went by, Fatty Wu gradually slowed down, and finally even walking became a little difficult.

Not only Fatty Wu, but also me who didn’t have any fat on my body felt it was hard, let alone Fatty Wu’s 200-pound figure.

There are two reasons why it has slowed down.

One thing is that this passage is an uphill section from the beginning, and it is getting steeper as we go. Now the slope in front of us has reached 30 degrees. Walking on this section is simply like climbing a mountain.

The second point is the temperature in this passage. I didn't feel much at first, but the higher you go up, the higher the surrounding temperature is, and the water in the body is also evaporating rapidly.

At this moment, Fatty Wu and I were tired and thirsty, and we even had the urge to run back along the passage, run to the previous space, and plunge into the lake.

Fatty Wu was completely unable to walk, but he just stood hunched over and supporting his knees with both hands.

The reason for this is because the entire passage is scalding hot. If you sit down, you may have to burn a layer of skin off your buttocks.

The shoes we wore were specially prepared before coming to the Gobi Desert. They are specially designed to cope with the extreme weather in the Gobi Desert and are resistant to heat and cold.

So under such high temperatures, we can barely stand, but for us it is just a matter of time. Once our body is severely dehydrated and cannot even stand firmly, there will be a hundred pairs of these. Shoes are used as mattresses for us, but it is all in vain.

"Dongzi, I can't survive. I'm tired and thirsty, and my throat is so dry that it's smoking!"

"Fat man, hold on, there will be water to drink when you get out of here!"

I cheered up Fatty Wu and told him not to give up.

This may be the only thing I can do at the moment, because even I don't know if I can get out of this passage alive.

"I can't do it anymore. I want to sit down and rest for a while..."

Fatty Wu seemed to be unable to support his fat body any longer. He tilted his body and fell towards the hot ground.

Seeing this, I rushed over and held him steady, so that Fatty Wu could not lose even half of his skin.

I have a lot of strength, and my whole body is covered in tendons gained from digging graves alone.

But now the tendons on my body are useless. As I support Fatty Wu's dead body, my legs begin to become weaker and weaker.

I don't know how long I can hold on. Maybe I will be completely crushed in less than a minute.

When the time comes, Fatty Wu and I will stay here forever and be roasted into two bodies.

Just when I was despairing of survival, I suddenly heard a faint noise in my ears, which sounded like human voices!
