Chapter 658 Natural Trap
Everyone on the stone bridge breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the group of people soaking in the water below moving to the southeast.
Although they are not completely out of danger yet, as long as they climb up, they can still hold on until the water recedes.
Wu Shaoyi also stopped playing the flute, his face was red from holding back, and he was panting heavily.
Apart from Yang Yiyi, Wu Shaoyi is the only one who can use sound skills, but sound skills alone cannot make the sound of the flute pass through so clearly.
The flute used by Wu Shaoyi was the bamboo flute in the bamboo flute sword obtained from Fairy Qinglian's inheritance. He wanted to give it a try, but when his internal energy was poured into the flute, there seemed to be some special reaction.
The sound of the flute was astonishingly loud and clear, and carried very far. When playing, Wu Shaoyi even felt as if his consciousness was flying away along with the sound of the flute.
It is indeed a fairy treasure, and cannot be compared with ordinary things.
But there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and Wu Shaoyi's internal energy disappeared as quickly as the flood that opened the gate.
Among everyone, Wu Shaoyi's meridians had the highest attributes and the strongest internal strength. She couldn't stand it, let alone others.
Fortunately, someone knows this song "Southeast Journey", otherwise Wu Shaoyi's internal energy would be sucked dry if he played it for a while.
At this time, I saw people at the bottom of the valley climbing towards the slope. Those who moved quickly had already gone up and reached out to pull the people behind.
The water is rising higher and higher below, and the mud created by the mudslide is piling up higher and higher, but they can't reach them. They are finally safe for the time being. The only thing left is to not slip and fall again, and to wait for the water level to drop. Can.
After all, the Shizhong River was formed due to the eruption of groundwater. When the pressure drops, the natural flow rate will slow down, and then nothing can be said.
Among the people who were breathing a sigh of relief, Ran Xiaoyi asked:
"Has anyone seen Yang Yiyi?"
Oh yes, where she went has not been figured out yet.
It was obvious that she was the first one to rush over just now, but why is she nowhere to be seen now?
Everyone looked left and right, but found no trace of Yang Yiyi. They recalled carefully, and it seemed that they had not seen Yang Yiyi when they rushed out of the woods.
"Did he get lost in the woods? Let's go back and look for him."
There is no need to worry, especially Wu Shaoyi and Qin Yan. They all know that Yang Yiyi is accompanied by the Qingtian Immortal. If the Immortal follows him, they are afraid of a hammer.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Go back in time a little bit.
Yang Yiyi rubbed her sore buttocks and looked up.
There is a faintly glowing hole diagonally above. The hole is not big or wide, but it is just big enough for a person to fall down.
In southern Xinjiang, due to the erosion of groundwater, there are many caves. The underground structure is very fragile. Coupled with the dense vegetation, it is simply a natural trap.
Yang Yiyi just heard the sound and chased after her. She may have used too much force and directly stepped on a hole in the already weak roof of the cave, and then she slid down the hole.
Visual inspection just happened to be the gap between two big rocks. The place was originally filled with thick soil, but maybe due to heavy rain, the soil below was washed away by the seeping water, so only the thin layer above was left. One layer, and then...
He was trampled down by Yang Yiyi.
That's why Li Chengqi didn't want Yang Yiyi to come to southern Xinjiang. The topography of this ghost place is too complicated.
"I'm down below! Can you hear me!"
I shouted twice at the entrance of the cave, but there was no response. If I listened carefully, I could hear footsteps walking quickly from above.
It seems that neither Wu Shaoyi nor Qin Yan noticed that Yang Yiyi fell.
This hole is too curved, and light can be faintly penetrated, but it is impossible to throw a rope up. It is like a bent pipe in the sewer, not straight up and down.
As for climbing up...
"The soil over there is too soft to climb. Don't let the soil collapse and bury you underneath."
Anyway, there was no one else around, so Li Chengqi said. As for jumping up, you don't even have to think about it. It's too high, and even the best fish jumper can't get up.
"What should I do, Brother Li?"
Yang Yiyi panicked and started numbing her claws.
"Don't panic, just reach out and lick your fingers before raising them above your head."
"Oh, what then?"
"Can you feel the wind?"
"Yes, and it's quite strong."
"That means there is a large enough entrance nearby. You can walk in the direction of the wind."
With that said, Yu Gui jumped out of Yang Yiyi's arms and spit out a bright flashlight.
"Don't worry, you can get out. If you can't come back again, I'll try to fly up and ask Qin Yan and the others to come and save you."
This is a method that can only be used when there is really no other way. After all, there are not only Qin Yan and Wu Shaoyi in that group of people, but also people from the Sixteenth Village, Ran Xiaoyi and several people from the Qingzhu Village.
There are many people with mixed eyes, and Li Chengqi does not want to expose the secret of Qingtian Shu until it is absolutely necessary.
Li Chengqi's words were purely to comfort Yang Yiyi, so that she would not panic and think too much, but Yang Yiyi really did this. When she heard what Li Chengqi said, she felt relieved on the spot. She picked up the bright flashlight and started using it. Walk in the direction of the wind.
This is a cave washed out by groundwater. The walls of the cave are still very wet, and stalactites can be seen dripping from time to time.
Maybe it's because the underground river has changed its course, but there are no other water sources found in the cave except dripping water. It would be uncomfortable if it encounters the underground river.
Suddenly, he remembered the time when Aldai and the others went underground for adventure not long ago.
However, Yang Yiyi hadn't gone that deep yet. Now she was only twenty meters away from the surface. She could feel the strong wind, which most likely meant that there was a hole directly leading to the surface.
Continuing to walk forward for a short distance, Yang Yiyi seemed to see something dark green. When she took a flashlight to look at it, she realized that it was a very large tree root.
The tree roots penetrated directly through the cave, blocking most of the cave. They were almost as thick as a truck tire and twisted deep into the soil underground.
Ran Xiaoyi said before that because the tree is said to be the base of the Optimus Jade Pillar, there are many potholes in the ground nearby, all of which were rooted out by its roots.
Some of the holes were used by the people of Baofengzhai and repaired as secret passages.
It was not surprising to encounter this thing here. Yang Yiyi picked up a stone and threw it over. Seeing that the tree root would not move, she was relieved.
——She was afraid that the roots of the tree had turned into spirits.
After passing through the gap on the side, Yang Yiyi clearly felt the wind speed increasing, and it was also obviously fresh air.
This shocked Yang Yiyi and quickened her pace.
Turning a small bend not far ahead, Yang Yiyi saw some light. Walking a little further, she saw that the light came from a hole covered by vines and ivy, and the light came in through the gaps in the vegetation.
This made Yang Yiyi very happy, thinking that she could finally go out.
But just as she was about to walk over quickly, she suddenly saw what seemed to be a dark figure behind the 'door curtain' made of vegetation.
This made Yang Yiyi brake suddenly, immediately turn off the flashlight and hide behind an oversized stalagmite.
The person standing at the entrance of the cave seemed to have noticed Yang Yiyi. To be more precise, he noticed the strong light coming from the cave. After all, Yang Yiyi was holding a flashlight in his hand.
But it was only for a moment. The other party should have had his back to the hole just now, so he was not sure.
Yang Yiyi peeked her head behind the stalagmite and saw a figure standing at the entrance of the cave. He turned around and looked into the cave...
