() Cui Lie had long known that Rong Xianxian carried space equipment with him and acted together with Rong Xianxian. He didn't bring anything else except his own weapons.
However, Cui Lie was still a little surprised when he saw the rappelling rope that Rong Xianxian took out.
"Sister Rong, you even have a rappelling rope!"
"Isn't this a must-have item for survival in the wild? It can be used for rock climbing, rappelling, or crossing ditches and bumps." Rong Xianxian said in a natural tone.
Cui Lie thought to himself, what he said is correct. If I bring a backpack, I must bring a rope. But after all, you have been living in a hothouse in the city. How can you have outdoor survival experience? Moreover, although the posture of this rappelling is not Professional, yet smooth.
The two of them got ready and started rappelling. It was said to be rappelling, but in fact it was not fast. Some places in the rock crevices were very narrow.
"What do you think is usually underneath a place like this?" Rong Xianxian asked Cui Lie in a low voice while shining a flashlight downward.
"It depends on the depth. If it is deep enough, there is usually an underground river or a small underground lake underneath." Cui Lie said.
"If there is really an ice crystal tree here, it should be growing near a water source." Rong Xianxian guessed.
When Rong Xianxian and the others descended about ten meters, they had not yet reached the bottom. The rock wall here was very narrow. There were sharp protrusions on both sides of the rock wall. The teeth were intertwined and jagged. The two of them protected their children in front of them and carefully walked through this area.
"Click, click." There was a rustling sound coming from above the head, sometimes close and sometimes far away.
"What's the sound?" Rong Xianxian listened.
"I didn't hear any sound!" Cui Lie said doubtfully.
Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie were stuck at the most dangerous part of the rock wall at the moment. The material of the two rock walls was unknown, and the protruding stones were hard and sharp, as if they were surrounded by two irregular nail boards.
"Mom, I heard a squealing sound, right down there." Xuanxuan opened the lid of the small backpack and said.
Rong Xianxian came back to her senses, put aside her doubts, asked Xuanxuan to close the lid of the small backpack, and continued descending with Cui Lie.
Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie passed through the narrow area. The space below suddenly opened up. The rock walls on both sides became smoother and steeper. The distance between the rock walls on both sides became wider and wider. Rong Xianxian took a strong flashlight. Looking down, I found that the crack, which was five meters long and about thirty centimeters in average width, turned into a dark abyss of unknown depth at some point.
Originally, the two of them, even though they were wearing rappelling ropes, still walked down the rock wall little by little with their feet. Now, the rock wall was slippery and their feet had nowhere to rely on, and the two of them were hanging in the air. , her weight was supported by the rappelling rope above her head. At this time, Rong Xianxian thought of the rustling sound she had just heard, and her heart tightened. At this moment, Rong Xianxian felt her body tilt. , she grabbed Cui Lie's arm next to her.
"What's wrong?" Cui Lie felt Rong Xianxian's nervousness and couldn't help but feel excited.
"There's something wrong with the rope." Rong Xianxian felt that the rope seemed to have been chewed in half by something.
"Ah!" Before Cui Lie had time to speak, Rong Xianxian let out a short scream, her body became light and she fell rapidly.
Cui Lie held Rong Xianxian's wrist tightly with his backhand and pulled her hard, "Sister Rong, hold on to me."
Rong Xianxian used her other hand to cover the small backpack in her arms. Looking at the broken rope, Rong Xianxian felt uneasy. With Cui Lie's arm strength, it was not difficult to catch her, but since her rope was broken Well, Cui Lie's one isn't safe either.
"Bang" Cui Lie's body tilted, and Rong Xianxian followed suit. Sure enough, the rope was about to break.
Rong Xianxian gritted her teeth, untied the small backpack with Xuanxuan on her chest, and sent it in the direction of Cui Lie, "Alie, catch Xuanxuan."
Cui Lie protected Xiao Luo in his arms with one hand and caught Xuan Xuan with the other. Rong Xianxian's actions just now accelerated the speed of the rope breaking. In order to reduce the load on the rope, Rong Xianxian let go of Cui Lie's hand.
There was a roaring wind in my ears, and Rong Xianxian fell rapidly like a kite with a broken string.
"Mom." Xuanxuan's tearful cry echoed in the space under the crack.
While Rong Xianxian used the moves in "Wind Control Technique" to buffer the falling tendency, she calmly took out the black beads from the sachet space, communicated with the spiritual energy in her body, fumbled to turn on the switch, and "bang" the black beads bounced away, forming a circle. Zhang flying carpet, Rong Xianxian controlled the flying carpet to float in mid-air.
"Ah" Xuanxuan screamed, and the rope used by Cui Lie also broke. Cui Lie, Xiao Luo and Xuanxuan fell down together. Rong Xianxian adjusted the flying carpet to the maximum mode and flew over to catch it. got them.
Cui Lie tightly covered the small backpack in his arms with one hand, and held Xuanxuan with the other arm. The small backpack that Xuanxuan was holding just now had been thrown away. Xiao Luo carefully placed the small backpack in front of Cui Lie. Stretch your head out of the basket on your back.
"Sister, are you okay?" Xiao Luo asked worriedly when he heard Xuanxuan's scream just now.
Aoao flew over from nowhere and was currently circling Xuanxuan.
Xuanxuan clutched her chest, her face was still a little pale, her eyes were red, and there were two crystal tears hanging on her long eyelashes. She arched her head into Rong Xianxian's arms and said sheepishly, "I'm fine. "
The crisp chirping of the bird echoed in the cracked space.
"Sister Rong, are you okay?" Cui Lie keenly noticed that Rong Xianxian's face turned pale.
"It's okay, don't worry." Rong Xianxian's heart had been in her throat from the moment she fell freely. It wasn't until she calmly adjusted the flying carpet and accurately caught the three of them that her heart just returned to her stomach. It was dancing non-stop at the moment.
Even though she had practiced using the flying carpet countless times before, Rong Xianxian couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, this was related to the safety of her two children.
From the time when the rappel rope broke and they fell freely to when Rong Xianxian caught everyone with a flying carpet, only a few seconds passed, but they had already descended a long distance.
Rong Xianxian took out a strong flashlight and glanced up and down, back and forth. Below was an underground lake with sparkling water, surrounded by slippery and sticky rock walls covered with green moss.
Without the flying carpet, the group of them would have plunged into the lake right now.
As they descended, they gradually adapted to the faint light in the crack. Rong Xianxian carefully looked at the space from left to right, back and forth.
This space is in the shape of an irregular cone. The underground lake is the bottom of this cone. It becomes narrower as you go up. The water in the lake is clear and deep, and the water surface is calm. There are only very smooth stone walls eroded by the water flow around the lake. There are no ice crystal trees at all. .
