Chapter 248 Escape
No one can be sure of what will happen in the future. Even monks who are good at calculations have a very vague and confused view of the future.
Li Chengqi listened to Lei Lei saying that the people around her would undergo major changes in the recent period, but she couldn't tell the good or bad, and couldn't tell anything specific. After listening for a long time, it was like hearing a sentence.
He felt that this was a standard operation for divination. If he said something ambiguous, he felt that the monk was not very reliable.
So he really didn't pay much attention to it, and after sending Lei Lei away, he focused on the computer.
Since the attributes of muscles and bones are no longer what they used to be, and she also learned the skill of falling lightly, which can reduce the damage caused by falling, Yang Yiyi was not seriously injured this time. She just fainted for a few minutes and woke up. Then she listened to Li Chengqi I talked about it for more than half an hour.
Fortunately, Lei Lei came in and interrupted Li Chengqi, otherwise he would have continued to talk.
Yang Yiyi moved her still aching body, stuffed Yu Gui into her arms, picked up an emergency light as big as a lantern, and shone it around her.
She seemed to have fallen into a cave. Not far from her was a stalagmite as tall as half a person. Fortunately, she didn't hit the stalagmite. Yang Yiyi was a little scared when she saw it.
On the other side of the stalagmites, you can vaguely hear the sound of running water. After taking a few steps forward, a calm underground lake appears in front of you.
She held up the lantern and looked up again. About ten meters above, there was a slightly transparent hole, which was where she fell.
However, the entrance to the cave has been completely blocked by gravel, and if you want to go up, you have to climb a very large arc rock wall. It is almost impossible to return the same way.
Now Yang Yiyi started to panic. She was in a closed space underground, and it was still a completely unfamiliar environment. If she couldn't find a way out, she would be trapped in this dark place.
"Are you panicking now? Think more about it in the future."
When Yang Yiyi heard Li Chengqi's voice, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Brother Li, can't I get out?"
"I don't know either."
As soon as he said this, a w(Д)w emoticon bubble popped up next to the head of the two-headed man representing Yang Yiyi on the screen. One look at it and you can tell that a lot of people are panicking.
Then Yang Yiyi heard Li Chengqi sigh:
"Although there is no absolute certainty, it is not completely impossible. You see, the water in this underground lake is flowing. Maybe you can find the exit along the lake water."
Yang Yiyi was immediately relieved upon hearing this, but Li Chengqi was not so optimistic.
The flow direction of groundwater has no rules at all. It may flow to the surface through caves and form rivers, or it may go deep underground.
Especially for this kind of cave, who knows how far underground the groundwater will go. There are not many natural caves on the earth that are one or two kilometers long.
"Then which way should we go?"
"Let's go upstream first. Maybe we can find the exit."
The downstream of the underground water is likely to be a bottomless underground cave, and the upstream is likely to find a hole leading to the surface. Although it is not absolute, it is definitely better to go upstream than to go downstream.
Yang Yiyi held the emergency light, observed the direction of the lake, and then followed Li Chengqi's instructions to walk upstream.
At this time she was obedient.
This underground cave was much larger than expected, and it felt like a big square.
Yang Yiyi walked forward slowly with a little fear, always having the illusion that there might be some terrible monster hidden in the darkness underground.
After walking along the lake for almost thirty minutes, we reached the rock wall on the other side.
The lake water flows out from a slender inclined pipe. The flow is not very large and the width is enough for a person to climb in.
Yang Yiyi held the handle of the emergency light in her mouth, spread her limbs and got stuck in the pipe to climb up. This is a very annoying thing. The rock wall is slippery and difficult to grasp. You have to use all your limbs to hold on. Water splashes fall on your face from time to time. What's even worse is that the arc of the slope is getting higher and higher. You can simply go to the back It's almost going vertical.
Going further up, the light from the emergency lights showed an obvious depression on the rock wall, and there seemed to be a hole there.
Yang Yiyi, who was climbing up, also saw it. She quickly climbed up using her hands and feet, and sat on the edge to breathe heavily.
It was impossible to continue climbing up. Yang Yiyi's strength could not hold on, and she didn't know how far she could go.
However, the depression that Yang Yiyi climbed into was actually a cave leading to deeper darkness.
"Let's walk along this road and use this red marker to put a mark on the wall to avoid getting confused."
Human beings will lose their sense of direction underground, especially when drilling into such intricate caves, it is equivalent to entering a natural maze.
After making a mark, Yang Yiyi raised the emergency light and continued walking forward.
This time the passage seems to be extra long. The good news is that there is no branch in the road. The bad news is that there is no exit, and I don't even feel any breeze that may be related to the exit.
The more Yang Yiyi walked, the more frightened she became. Every few steps, she had to ask if Li Chengqi was still there to embolden herself.
After walking for almost twenty minutes this time, the light not far away changed shape again. Yang Yiyi walked over and came to an empty underground cavity.
The visual inspection here is about hundreds of square meters, and the ground is extremely flat. Although it is now in a state of disrepair, it seems like someone has repaired it.
Yang Yiyi suddenly remembered the legend of a giant savage living in a cave. When she was a child, her parents scared her, saying that if you didn't sleep well, the savages in the cave would come and snatch you away and eat you.
This brought back the shadow of Yang Yiyi's childhood. No matter how you looked at it, this cavity looked like a nest.
But it was really just to scare the children. Yang Yiyi took a few steps forward and didn't see the big savage, but saw a flat stone wall.
There are words engraved on the stone wall, and some vague words at the bottom say, 'I use the Five Elements Escape Technique as the basis to understand the steps of escape. Those who practice this step can pass through the stone, and their whereabouts are elusive.'
Li Chengqi felt outrageous when he saw this approval sentence.
Isn't this martial arts? Why did Xianxia's Earth Escape Technique appear?
Looking at the rock wall again, Yang Yiyi said:
"This has been vandalized. You can't see anything clearly."
Except for the approval document at the bottom, all the words and patterns on the stone wall have become difficult to decipher. It looks like someone took a hammer and knocked them away bit by bit.
I feel that this earth escape step should be a magical skill, but now there is only a paragraph of approval.
"Looking at the bright side, since there are secret stone carvings here, it means there must be an exit."
"Well, Brother Li is right."
Yang Yiyi finally felt relieved, but Li Chengqi felt that according to the routine, he had to learn how to escape before he could get out, right?
Just like Zhang Wuji learned about the Great Shift of the Universe, the approval document states that the Earth Escape Step can pass through rocks. Maybe he has to use the Earth Escape Step to pass through a special hollow stone wall.
But I can't say this to Yang Yiyi for the time being, as she will definitely panic and pick her feet.
Yang Yiyi walked along the stone wall again, trying to find any other exits, but when she turned around, she couldn't help but scream.
Not far away from her, the light illuminated a white skeleton leaning against a stone. It looked very old.
