When Ruan Tang regained consciousness, it was dark all around.
Her mind was a little confused, and it took her a while to remember that they had just experienced an avalanche, and on their way to escape, in order to avoid being buried in the snow, they chose to escape on both sides of the road down the mountain.
But who would have thought that not long after running, they missed the mark and all of them fell into the hole.
She was knocked to pieces and fainted immediately.
I don't know how long it took before she woke up.
She held up her arms and tried to get up, but she didn't expect a muffled groan coming from underneath her.
She recognized Chu Mu's voice, and touched the hand she was preparing to stand up with at the right time. She felt warm and soft, and only then did she realize that she was lying on Chu Mu's body.
It must have been the moment she fell down that he made a human body pad for her.
It's just that she fainted because of his cushion, but what about him?
His back was still injured, could he be dying from the fall?
Ruan Tang didn't care about anything else and stood up quickly, and then called him: "Your Highness, Your Highness, how are you?"
But no one answered her.
Her hands were groping randomly in the darkness, and when she touched his face, she patted him, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Chu Mu, how are you?"
"Cough..." Chu Mu seemed to have been holding his breath and suddenly gasped. He coughed a few times and then opened his eyes.
It was dark all around, but his eyes had been trained before and he could see in the dark. Although it was not very clear, it was enough to see the expression on Ruan Tang's face clearly.
Seeing the anxious look on her face, he curled up the corners of his mouth and said softly: "I'm fine."
But as soon as he finished saying this, he couldn't help but coughed violently again.
What's going on? Although the fall from above was not very high, when he fell, he instinctively hugged Ruan Tang and supported her.
At that time, my internal organs felt like they had been smashed out, and I fainted from the pain.
The pain in my chest is still there, and the injured area on my back is in terrible pain.
But he is a man, and he can't scream in pain, let alone in front of Ruan Tang!
When Ruan Tang heard that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. The hand he placed on his face reached down in the dark and touched his chest a few times before touching his arm.
"Then Your Highness, let me help you up."
When Chu Mu was touched like this, her chest, which was already painful, only felt more painful.
But he held on and allowed her to lift him up from the ground.
After standing up straight, I felt that my breathing in my chest became easier.
"It's pitch dark in here, do you have any fire tips?"
Chu Mu responded, took out a fire stick in his arms, and lit it.
The weak firelight illuminated the surroundings. Ruan Tang and Chu Mu looked around and saw no one else.
They fell together, so where did the others go?
"Where are the others? Why are they missing?" Ruan Tang asked first.
Chu Mu shook his head, and then began to look at this place.
Except for the upper exit, it is surrounded by rock walls, and the upper exit is completely covered by plants. Even where they fell just now, there is no gap that was smashed, and naturally no light can shine in. .
If they stay here, they will die of cold or starvation before long.
Chu Mu held the fire stick and walked along the rock wall, trying to find a suitable position for climbing.
Ruan Tang naturally understood what he meant, and imitated him, groping on the other side.
But when she fumbled for a protruding stone on the rock wall, there was a sudden click.
Ruan Tang was startled, and the aftermath of the avalanche made her immediately run to Chu Mu's side with vigilance.
But as soon as she stood next to Chu Mu, the rock wall suddenly moved.
Chu Mu quickly held up the fire folding bag and got closer, and then he discovered that the rock wall had turned into a stone door at some point, and it opened slowly.
Ruan Tang and him looked at each other with surprised expressions in their eyes.
"Is this a secret passage?" Ruan Tang asked Chu Mu.
"I don't know, maybe, let's go take a look."
As he said that, he held Ruan Tang with one hand and walked towards the open door holding the fire folding piece with the other.
Sure enough, there was a long corridor behind the door. The two looked at each other and walked forward in unison.
After walking about a hundred meters, we turned a corner and there was no road ahead.
"Is this a dead end? It shouldn't be!"
In her previous life, she had read a lot of tomb-robbing novels. She built such a tunnel and it couldn't be a dead end.
Ruan Tang stepped forward and patted the rock wall in front of him, "This should also be a door. Let's look for the switch."
As he spoke, he started groping on the rock wall, and Chu Mu also groped on the rock walls on both sides.
But after the two of them touched it for a long time, there was no protruding stone like the previous door.
Just when Ruan Tang was confused, Chu Mu suddenly felt a groove on the rock wall.
He subconsciously stretched out his fingers and pressed in, and then there was a click.
The door that looked like a rock wall slowly moved upward, and actually opened.
As the stone door opened, light also came from the other side of the door.
"Your Highness, Miss Ruan?" Nanfeng's voice came.
Ruan Tang lowered his body and looked toward the door. Sure enough, except Nan Feng, Qing Feng, Xiao Feng, Ling Qing, and other guards, they were all here.
"So you are all here. We thought you had disappeared."
With that said, Ruan Tang lowered his body and slipped under the stone door that had not yet completely slid open.
The Snow Jade Beast, which was originally nestled in Qingfeng's arms, saw Ruan Tang appear and immediately jumped down and went straight to Ruan Tang.
Before Ruan Tang could recover, he was thrown into his arms by a ball of snow.
"Little fortune-teller, it's you!" Ruan Tang held the snow jade beast in his arms and stroked it.
But soon it was discovered that the Gu worm lying tightly on the Snow Jade Beast's head was missing.
"Qingfeng, where is my treasure?"
"Here it is." Ling Qing shook a small bottle in his hand.
Then he stepped forward and handed the bottle to Ruan Tang.
"The Gu insect is afraid of the Snow Jade Beast. If it stays on its head, it will probably be scared to death." Ling Qing explained.
Ruan Tang took the small bottle and couldn't help laughing a few words before putting it into his arms.
Then he began to be affectionate with the Snow Jade Beast.
Chu Mu, who came in behind, saw her and the snow jade beast being so affectionate again, his face darkened, but he didn't say anything.
Then he told Nanfeng: "Find a way to get out of here first."
The dry food they originally brought was what they had budgeted for. Although they brought some spare food, if they were trapped here for several days and nights, they would definitely starve to death if they didn't freeze to death.
Chu Mu began to tell them how he and Ruan Tang came here from another cave, and then he asked everyone to disperse and start looking for the switch.
The cave here was much larger than the one they were in before. The group of people knocked on the rock wall and searched for a long time before they found the switch.
When another stone door opened again, Nanfeng took the lead with several guards holding fire certificates.
After confirming that there is no danger, he calls for others to follow.
This time it was still a corridor, but this corridor was longer than the previous one. The group walked for half an hour before they saw the stone wall blocking them again.
Based on previous experience, everyone knows that this stone wall is the stone gate.
Everyone started looking for the switch again. This time there were more people, so it didn’t take long to find it, and the door was successfully opened.
The door opened and the group entered again.
It's just that this cave is not like the previous ones. It's messy and messy. It's basically full of rocks, scattered everywhere, almost covering the entire cave.
They could only step on the rocks and start looking for the switch again.
The Snow Jade Beast, which had been sleeping obediently in Ruan Tang's arms, suddenly opened its eyes and cried out in a low voice in one direction.
Suddenly everyone's attention was attracted by it, and naturally Ruan Tang was too.
But she couldn't understand the beast language of the Snow Jade Beast, so she had to walk in the direction of its cry.
Chu Mu, who was originally looking for the switch, saw this and quickly followed her, then pulled her behind him and walked in front.
Ruan Tang didn't care, it was just that the Snow Jade Beast was a little unhappy.
Ruan Tang touched it a few times and comforted it for a while, and it became calm.
There happened to be a big rock at the place where the Snow Jade Beast called. When Chu Mu got close to the big rock, he stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone to be silent.
After the surroundings quieted down, he heard faint breathing.
But the sound of breathing didn't belong to any of them.
Chu Mu listened for a while, and after confirming that there was no danger, he walked around the stone and walked behind it.
But soon he poked his head out from behind the big rock and looked at Ruan Tang.
"Ruan Tang, come here..."
Chu Mu's expression was solemn, and Ruan Tang couldn't help but frown.
But she didn't ask any more questions, and just walked over and walked around behind the big rocks.
When she saw what was happening behind the big rocks, she gasped.
She put the Snow Jade Beast on the ground, then hurriedly knelt down on the ground and looked at Mog behind the big stone, who was pressed by another stone.
"Brother Mog, why are you here? What happened? How could you..."
Ruan Tang never imagined that he would see Mog here, and in such a situation.
Aren't he and Tana recuperating from their injuries? Why are you here?
A series of questions were swirling in Ruan Tang's mind, but she couldn't care about them now.
Moge, who was already dying, heard Ruan Tang's voice and opened his eyes with difficulty. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and said nothing.
Ruan Tang looked at the big stone pressing on his chest and quickly stopped him at a loss: "Brother, stop talking, stop talking, we will rescue you..."
As he said that, Ruan Tang wanted to push the big stone pressing on his chest.
But Chu Mu caught him in time.
"You can't push him away like this. If you don't do it right, it will cause him secondary harm."
Ruan Tang was shocked when he suddenly saw Mog appear here. Seeing him like this, looking like he was dying, he was already confused and his mind was confused.
After hearing what Chu Mu said, he immediately didn't dare to move, his hands were frozen in the air, not knowing what to do.
Chu Mu called everyone over and roughly explained how to cooperate, before everyone worked together to start lifting the big stone pressing on Mog's chest.
After the boulder was lifted, Chu Mu and Qingfeng each grabbed one of Mog's shoulders and quickly pulled him out from under the boulder.
As soon as Mog was pulled out, Ruan Tang quickly stepped forward to check.
But Mog's eyes were closed tightly, and even his breathing was extremely weak, as if he would die soon.
Ruan Tang's eyes couldn't help but turn red. Although she had known Mog for a short time, without him and Tana, she would have drowned in the lake.
