Chen Tao was hugged tightly by Ye Rong, not even daring to take a breath. Feeling the softness in his arms, his face turned red to his heels.
"That...that..." Chen Tao struggled for a long time, neither raising his hands nor putting them down, and finally patted Ye Rong's back carefully. "Then...I...that...it's okay, it's okay!"
Seemingly realizing that she had lost her composure, Ye Rong pushed Chen Tao away, took a few steps back, wiped the tears on her face with the back of her hand, blushed slightly and said, "No... I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. "
Looking at her pretty face like a tabby cat, Chen Tao couldn't speak for a while and coughed awkwardly.
"Uh...what about that, are you okay?"
Ye Rong simply arranged her clothes and hair, then checked the backpack behind her. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she said,
"It's okay, thank you for saving me."
Chen Tao didn't know how to answer, so he rubbed the back of his head and chuckled.
After this thrilling experience and a narrow escape from death, Ye Rong's face clearly looked a little more tired and weak. Thinking of the madness he had just gone through, Chen Tao looked at his hands strangely.
He had always heard people say in the past that a place like the desert could turn a boy into a man and a strong woman into a little girl.
Why was he so frightened after seeing Ye Rong's accident, and what was the feeling of mental tearing at the beginning?
The feeling cannot be described in words, it is like your body is controlled by another soul, but you can clearly feel his existence, but you still maintain control of your body.
Chen Tao really couldn't figure out why he had such strange thoughts. He even tried hard to feel the weird feeling at that time, but other than feeling like a fool, he didn't find anything.
"Ahem..." Haozi coughed angrily on the side and returned Ye Rong's rifle to her.
"Oh, Beauty Ye, you were really scared to death just now! Fortunately, Master Hao, Taozi and I reacted in time, without fear, and bravely fought against the monster insects. This is how heroes saved the beauty. You don't know how dangerous it was just now! "
"Thank you too!" Ye Rong nodded to Haozi and called back to the stunned Chen Tao, her voice much gentler, "Let's go quickly, it's not safe here, maybe other bugs will get in."
Chen Tao glanced at Tao Zi with disdain. Seeing the look on his face that looked like he had eaten too many lemons, he really wanted to stuff this thing into that big bug's ass.
Then he picked up the wolf-eye flashlight on the ground,
"Let's go!"
I came in so anxiously that I didn't expect to climb so deep in just a few minutes. The mucus that had flowed from the big bug could still be seen on the ground, and there were obvious scratches on the broken bones. The three of them followed these traces and then walked out.
Before leaving, Chen Tao looked at the huge insect corpse and thought of the child just now, and a huge doubt arose in his heart.
cloud.
Speaking of which, this was the first time he had truly come into contact with such things as "spirits". Although they looked like humans, Chen Tao was not sure whether they were good or evil.
Judging from the current situation, the few encountered in Heizigou are not good birds.
"It seems we have to find Uncle Long and the others to figure out what is going on with these so-called 'spirits'!"
The three of them arrived at the entrance of the cave. It was pitch dark outside, and Big Beard and the others had already gone far.
Chen Tao stuck his head out from inside and saw that there were still many red lights on the wall of the passage. Knowing that those were big insects drilling in the holes, he quickly retracted his head.
Ye Rong behind her seemed a little afraid of insects, and her previous experience had left a big shadow in her heart.
"It's okay, they don't seem to be moving." Chen Tao comforted in a low voice.
"These bugs seem to be afraid of light. When Big Beard and the others fired incendiary bombs, I saw these bugs going straight into the hole, as if they had seen a ghost." Haozi said.
Chen Tao did not go out, but picked up some broken bones and threw them out. The bones whirled in the air and were inserted into the sand in the middle of the river.
"No movement?"
Seeing that the insects on the stone wall did not react at all, Chen Tao and the other three crawled out of the cave one after another.
Snapped......
Chen Tao turned on the wolf eye flashlight.
"Damn it, don't turn on the light, people will die!" Haozi's expression changed and he was about to crawl into the hole.
"Chen Tao..." A look of worry flashed across Ye Rong's face.
"Don't worry, if my guess is correct, these bugs are very afraid of light." As he spoke, Chen Tao used his flashlight to shine on the big bug in a hole on the opposite side.
The light spot shone on the red insect's eyes, and the big insect shrank back into the hole for a long time, and it didn't come out for a long time.
"Well..." Ye Rong nodded, breathed out gently, and turned on the flashlight.
The three of them walked along the river and found no insect corpses along the way. Occasionally, they could see a few empty incendiary bomb shells that had been replaced.
Big Beard and the others must have discovered that bugs are afraid of light, so they retreated deep into the river using incendiary bombs.
The three of them marched along the river. The big bugs on both sides never came out again. They huddled in the holes one by one. Occasionally, they could hear the screams of several big bats with grimaces. It didn’t take much thinking to know that on the upper level What kind of massacre is taking place in the depths of the main hall and the hole.
The river became more rugged, and the holes on both sides became fewer and fewer. In the end, only dark gray stone walls and yellow sand on the ground remained. A lot of gravel gradually appeared on the sand, and the lower part was buried deep into the ground. It couldn't be said that it was cold inside the cave, but it was still very dry.
From time to time, a small breeze blows out from the depths of the river. The whining sound of the wind sounds like countless wandering ghosts wandering around people's ears, or like countless people whispering and whispering in the river. The ears of those who listened were frightened.
Until now, the three of them have not had a drop of water or a bite of food, even though they say there is no need to go underground.
They were exposed to the scorching sun, but they couldn't survive without water and food.
The three of them shared some dried meat to replenish their energy, and each of them only drank a sip of water.
After turning a corner, a light suddenly flashed in the distance. Looking up, I saw a bright incendiary bomb hanging in the air deep in the deep river, like a brilliant star in the night sky, and I could vaguely see below. There are quite a few people.
It's a bearded man!
The three of them turned off the Wolf Eye flashlight and hid behind a protruding boulder.
"Why did they stop here?" Haozi asked, leaning on the stone.
"According to their speed, it should have been quite a while since they got here, and there are no bugs in this place. Why are they shooting an incendiary bomb?" Chen Tao touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Maybe they discovered something!" Ye Rong put the flashlight back into his backpack, "Maybe it's the exit."
"Well, it's possible." Chen Tao nodded, "Be careful, let's touch it and take a look, don't let them find out!"
The three of them clung to the stone wall and walked forward by the light of the incendiary bombs. Although the sand they stepped on was almost invisible in this empty river, the three of them still paid attention and tried to avoid making any noise.
As he got closer, Chen Tao leaned against a depression in the stone wall, sticking his head out and looking carefully at the bearded man and others not far away.
The previous incendiary bomb was almost burned out, leaving only a faint spark hanging overhead.
The river below happened to be at a bend, and from a distance you could see a large group of people holding torches surrounding the stone wall on one side. The bearded man was standing on a huge stone, and Haimoton was leading a group of people working under the stone wall, chattering without knowing what he was talking about.
Haozi came over and asked in a low voice: "Hey, what are they doing?"
"I don't know either. It seems like I found something." Chen Tao shook his head, he couldn't understand either.
"They seem to be blowing up that stone wall." Ye Rong said.
"No... Miss Ye, how can you understand their bird language?"
"Didn't I say that our Ye family has been studying Tatunaan for a long time."
Haozi disagreed and asked, "What else did they say?"
Ye Rong shook her head, "I could only vaguely hear that something was going to be blown up, but nothing else."
boom......
While the three of them were talking, there was a sudden loud noise in the distance, gravel splashed, air waves stirred up countless yellow sand, and the entire river seemed to be shaking.
The huge explosion echoed in the river, and the sound was so loud that people's eardrums were about to burst, and stars popped into their eyes.
"Damn it, it hurts me so much!" Haozi covered his ears with a painful expression.
Chen Tao endured the ringing in his ears and looked at Big Beard and the others. In the dim light of the torch, Chen Tao saw a huge black hole blown out of the stone wall in the distance.
"It's the exit!" Ye Rong's pretty face beamed, "They found their way out!"
Chen Tao waved his hands towards the two of them, "Wait a moment and let them go first."
The three of them waited quietly in the darkness until
After Big Beard and the others had been out for a long time, they cautiously walked to the big hole they had blown up.
"There turns out to be a mechanism here!" Haozi groped around the cave for a long time.
"They must have discovered the stone door to exit, but they didn't have the key, so they had to use brute force to blow it open."
Chen Tao turned on the wolf-eye flashlight, adjusted the aperture to the maximum, and shined into the big hole.
Inside the large cave is a naturally formed large crack, more than one meter wide. There is a high edge protruding from the stone wall on one side, just big enough for one person to walk, and it extends zigzag into the depths of darkness.
Chen Tao stood at the entrance of the cave and could feel a gust of wind blowing out of it. The sound of the wind kept echoing in the river, making people's ears numb.
Chen Tao looked at this big crack and said to himself that the Tatunaan people are smart enough to use a natural crack so skillfully!
Turning back and giving instructions to the two of them, Chen Tao held up the Wolf Fang flashlight and got in first.
"Let's go out too!"
