Ancient Invasion [End Times]

Three days after the invasion of No.90 [Third update]

Du Jingshu screamed, the soil beneath her completely collapsed, and she fell straight down.

Du Nanrong rushed over quickly and grabbed the rope.

He rested one foot on a tree that was inserted horizontally under him, and hurriedly fixed himself in the rapid slide.

Du Nanrong's hand was immediately cut into two bloody mouths by the sharp and firm umbrella rope. He gritted his teeth and pulled it up vigorously. Seeing this, Zhang Jiuzhang, Duan Yi and Xu Ying immediately ran to help.

"Leave us alone!" Du Nanrong gritted his teeth and said, he suddenly twisted the rope around his arm a few times, his whole arm was congested with blood and veins swollen, it was a bit scary.

Cheng Sheng took a quick look at the situation around him, and said quickly, "It doesn't make any difference, we're all going to fall! Hurry up!"

"Where else can I catch?!" Du Nanrong roared, and immediately the large layer of soil under them shattered.

This is a good question.

Cheng Sheng just said that casually.

In such a scene where rocks are flying and the sky is falling apart, there is nothing that they can hold on to.

Cheng Sheng wanted to fly, but his animal shape was still that of a fledgling bird, with a pair of fleshy wings and an exaggeratedly huge fat and short body—it wasn't that exaggerated, but the doctor didn't like seeing himself as an immature beast In the shape of a baby bird like a beast, it is really hard to fly even if you want to.

Duan Yi grabbed the falling Cheng Sheng.

He subconsciously pulled out the saber behind him, and ruthlessly inserted it into the rock wall of the cracked ground fissure.

Everyone is like a gourd baby on a gourd vine, a bunch of gourds fall off, all thanks to Duan Yi's saber stuck in the crack of the rock wall, barely hanging.

Duan Yi's arm was completely swollen with terrible blue veins, and the muscles were twisted into blood, as if they were about to explode.

Cheng Sheng reluctantly raised his head to take a look, and then his heart skipped a beat: "This won't work, your hand will be ruined!"

If Duan Yi's body was not strengthened by ancient genes, it would be impossible to support the weight of six adults.

Duan Yi didn't speak, he let out a muffled snort, his arms were quickly covered with a layer of scales, as if plated with a layer of reinforcement, and his muscles also expanded exponentially, revealing the terrifying genetic energy of ancient creatures.

Even if Duan Yi's body was strengthened enough to support the weight of all of them, the saber in his hand would not be able to support it.

There was a crisp sound of metal "hiccups", and a crack suddenly appeared on the saber inserted in the crack of the rock wall.

Immediately, the cracks spread rapidly from the crack.

In one or two breaths, the saber was completely disconnected.

Everyone fell into the weightless state of falling rapidly again. They clung to the rock wall and kept trying to use the handles and axes to hold the rock wall to slow down the speed of falling.

As Cheng Sheng fell, he quickly threw a small cluster of flames to the bottom, instantly illuminating the black hole below - this is an extremely spectacular underground cave, the end of which cannot be seen at a glance, right below where they fell, unexpectedly reflected A cluster of slightly twisted blue flames.

Cheng Sheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly reminded: "There is a pool of water directly below us!"

Upon hearing this, Du Nanrong shouted immediately: "Diving straight into the water! Stick into the water!"

Among the group, Cheng Sheng and Du Jingshu were the only ones who needed to be reminded how to enter the water. Both of them quickly understood what Du Nanrong meant.

They didn't have much time to prepare, and almost immediately after Du Nanrong's voice fell, everyone jumped into the water one after another like dumpling.

They put their legs and arms together, tensed their bodies, and plunged into the water straight upright, so that the area of ​​body contact would be the smallest and the rebound force would be smaller.

"Puff!" "Puff!"

The sound of entering the water sounded one after another, and several people quickly loosened the knots tied to their bodies. Under such water, the knots could easily cause people to drown.

Duan Yi was the first to pop up, and quickly took a deep breath and dived down to look for Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng saw Duan Yi in the water, gestured to Duan Yi, pointed down, and quickly swam over.

Duan Yi swept down, and saw Du Jingshu dragging the unconscious Du Nanrong with great effort, trying to float up, his mouth kept spitting out air bubbles as if lacking oxygen, seeing that he was almost out of breath, Xu Ying grabbed him and led him to float up.

Du Jingshu suddenly emerged from the water, and let out a long breath from his chest as if after drowning.

She coughed several times in a row, coughing up the water that choked into her lungs: "My dad, he, cough, cough, my dad..."

Cheng Sheng emerged from the water, and then Duan Yi and Zhang Jiuzhang came out with Du Nanrong, and the group quickly swam to the shore with Du Nanrong who had passed out.

There was a very obvious bump mark on Du Nanrong's forehead, probably because he accidentally hit an underwater reef when he fell into the water.

Falling into the water like this is really dangerous, the distance is high, and the depth of the bottom pool and the condition of the underwater reefs are unknown.

These people are already considered lucky, the pool below is deep enough, so that when they fall into the water, they will not directly hit the rocks on the bottom of the river bed.

"Wait." Cheng Sheng said suddenly.

He frowned and gently tore off Du Nanrong's drenched clothes.

The dark sleeve fabric stuck to Du Nanrong's arm was cut into rags at some point, clinging to his arm.

Cheng Sheng lifted the cloth, and saw that Du Nanrong's arm was covered with bloodstains, as if a layer of skin had been scraped off by something.

Du Jingshu gasped, and the circles of her eyes immediately turned red.

Xu Ying quickly tore off the corner of her clothes and bandaged Du Nanrong's arm briefly. She comforted the little girl and said, "It's okay, it's just a scratch. He'll be fine."

Cheng Sheng glanced at Duan Yi, pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "His injury doesn't look like he was scratched by the rock wall when he fell, it's too neat."

"An underwater creature?" Duan Yi quickly realized what Cheng Sheng was alluding to, his eyes darkened, and he looked at the calm water in front of them.

Zhang Jiuzhang, who was still panting, paused after hearing the words, and then slowly lifted up the little half of his leg that was still submerged in the water.

Cheng Sheng said softly: "The water here is deep enough for us to enter the water safely, and it is also enough to breed some 'big fish'."

They are now in an underground cave, and what is in front of them is probably a wide underground river.

Underground rivers are not uncommon in underground caves. Most of them are formed by the leakage of surface precipitation or meltwater from snow-capped mountains.

Both Du Jingshu and Xu Ying heard Cheng Sheng's words, and they subconsciously looked at the calm water in front of them, and it was hard to imagine what monsters were hiding under it.

The light in the underground cave was extremely poor, only the place where they fell overhead cast a faint light.

"It's dawn outside." Xu Ying said in a low voice.

She clenched her fists violently. Just a few minutes ago, she watched Lin Qian disappear in front of her.

She looked at Cheng Sheng and asked hopefully, "Doctor, did Lin Qian and Luo Xiaonan also fall here? This river is so wide, maybe they are like us..."

Cheng Sheng said "um", he looked at Xu Ying, and said in a deep voice, "It's all possible. Don't underestimate them. Lin Qian, like you and Duan Yi, are well-trained special forces. There is not enough place like this." Let him lose his life."

Xu Ying seemed to have a bit of a backbone, she nodded, her mouth was tightly pursed and she did not speak again.

They were lying on the shore ten meters away from the water's edge, looking at the water at the same time, neither of them said anything.

The low light was not enough for them to see what was underwater.

No one knew that under the surface of the river, which was about the size of a basketball court, there was a huge dark shadow about ten meters long, almost faintly overlapping the entire river surface.

"How do we go from now on?" Zhang Jiuzhang asked.

The height they fell was seven to eighty meters. If it weren't for the slowing down of the knife handle and ax along the way, and a deep pool of water at the end to buffer them, they would never have survived.

It is absolutely impossible to go back the same way and climb back—they have no rock climbing equipment, and except for Duan Yi, Xu Ying and Zhang Jiuzhang, the others do not have rock climbing skills.

A ball of flames jumped out of Cheng Sheng's fingertips, and was slightly shaken by the wind. He said, "Since there is wind, follow the wind."

As for the direction and destination, they are out of the scope of consideration for the time being. They have to get out of such an underground labyrinth of caves before they can think about other things.

Before the virus broke out, hundreds of explorers were trapped and disappeared in such underground caves every year.

Natural underground caves are like intricate hell-level labyrinths, one cave after another, and at the end, it is impossible to even go back the same way.

"But for now... let's take a rest for now, and wait for Du Gong to wake up before leaving." Cheng Sheng said.

After experiencing a devastating earthquake, their physical strength was greatly consumed. It is definitely not a good idea to rush into the depths of the cave at this moment.

The few of them ate some food and added some water on the spot.

Zhang Jiuzhang and Duan Yi approached the water cautiously, observing the underwater situation, one watching and watching, and the other filling up the empty water bottle.

It is rare to have a place where fresh water can be replenished, and it would be too wasteful not to seize the opportunity.

The three most important elements for survival in the wild - water, camp and fire, among which water is the most important, it is completely worth the risk of Duan Yi and Zhang Jiuzhang.

After they finished fetching the water, they folded back and lay down on the ground again.

I don't know how long it has passed, only the panting of a few of them can be heard around.

Du Jingshu spoke abruptly, with a slightly trembling voice, and asked Cheng Sheng almost breathlessly: "Doctor, where there are water sources, are there usually living things?"

Cheng Sheng paused, as if realizing something, he suddenly turned his head to look at Du Jingshu, and saw the little girl sitting stiffly on the ground, not daring to move, she glanced behind her out of the corner of her eye.

I saw a big scorpion about the size of a child, crawling out from nowhere, without making a sound, the huge poisonous claw was held high, and it rested on Du Jingshu's back lightly.

Xu Ying's pupils suddenly shrank.

She gently raised her index finger to Du Jingshu, and at the same time pulled out a dagger that was broken by a third and held it in her hand, slowly approaching Du Jingshu.

Seeing this, Cheng Sheng grabbed a handful of gravel and threw it into the water in front of him.

The gravel fell into the water, causing ripples and the sound of water.

The big scorpion suddenly moved, but it was heading straight towards the underground river.

"Scorpions' vision is very dull, but they have a keen sense of noise and vibration." Cheng Sheng explained in a low voice.

That's why he suddenly grabbed the stone and threw it into the water. The sound of falling into the water was enough to attract the attention of the big scorpion.

The huge scorpion rushed to the water's edge quickly.

When there was still one or two meters away from the water surface, suddenly, there was a huge wave in the water, and a huge fish shadow jumped out of the water.

The light beam cast from above the water pool shone on the shadow of the fish, revealing that the scales on its body were glowing coldly, it was unbelievably huge, and the head of the fish was almost as big as an adult.

It opened its mouth suddenly, revealing a dense row of strong teeth, bit the giant scorpion near the water surface, and dragged it directly into the water.

The giant scorpion didn't have the slightest room to react and struggle. It was just pulled into the water under the watchful eyes of everyone, and after stirring up splashes, it remained silent.

The dark pool returned to tranquility again, as if the killing just now was an illusion.

No one spoke for a while, Du Jingshu was still trembling with fright.

Until Du Nanrong beside her suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight up suddenly as if waking up, and shouted: "Fish! Be careful of fish!"

Du Nanrong's roar startled everyone, and after listening carefully to what he was shouting, neither Xu Ying nor Zhang Jiuzhang bothered to respond.

Thank you, I just saw how that fish hunted up close.
