Back to the Wilderness

Chapter 53 Discovery

Xie Cheng was startled, his first reaction was not to push Ji Fuyun away, but to move the hand holding the dagger to avoid accidentally injuring him.

This appearance of Ji Fuyun made Xie Cheng at a loss for a while. Based on his understanding of Ji Fuyun, he didn't seem like a person who was so fragile that he would lose control.After hesitating for a moment, Xie Cheng's other hand paused, and placed it on Ji Fuyun's back a little stiffly.

"Damn! I knew you were having an affair!" Chen Jia suddenly cursed, "It's so immoral!"

After chatting for a long time, Chen Jia rushed out of the cave angrily, "If you don't see it, you must see it!"

Luo Zongqiang smiled strangely. From Chen Jia's long speech, he also got a general understanding of the situation. It turned out that Ji Fuyun was gay, and he and Xie Cheng had fallen in love a long time ago.Just now Ji Fuyun thought that something would happen to Xie Cheng, so he was too worried, but now that he was confirmed to be safe, he was so moved... he couldn't care less about face and hugged Xie Cheng.

"Haha." Luo Zongqiang laughed a few times, and left the cave belly with his unconscious spirit nose, leaving space for the young couple who had almost experienced a life-and-death gap. After turning around, his smile suddenly sank.

Ji Fuyun's body was pressed against Xie Cheng, and when he heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away, he let go of Xie Cheng and took a step back.

Seeing Xie Cheng's probing eyes, Ji Fuyun paused, thinking of his inexplicable behavior in the eyes of others just now, he couldn't help embarrassing.

"What happened?" Seeing him, Xie Cheng knew that Ji Fuyun wanted to talk to him alone, he lowered his eyes, pulled his clothes, and felt uncomfortable sticking to his body.

When it came to the topic, Ji Fuyun showed a very pleasant smile, and stroked a small handful of sand from the corner of Xie Cheng's clothes. This was what Xie Cheng accidentally touched at the bottom of the river when he was fighting with the black arrow king fish, and it was deposited in the folds of his clothes , not washed away by water.

Xie Cheng watched Ji Fuyun making this strange move, and then turned his gaze to the dozens of grains of sand.Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, as if there was a flash of white light.

The handful of evenly thick and dark gray sand lay in Ji Fuyun's palm, and a few larger grains of sand actually gave off a faint white cold metallic light!It is particularly conspicuous in the red fluorescent lights of the cave!

"Liuyan!" Xie Cheng and Ji Fuyun looked at each other and said in unison.

The two nodded at the same time, Lian Xie Cheng couldn't restrain his joy and was slightly moved.

"Inadvertently planting willows." Ji Fuyun sighed.They paid special attention to Liuyan's whereabouts before, but they had no clues. Now they escaped with difficulty but found Liuyan by mistake.

Xie Cheng squeezed a piece of flow rock between his fingers, and the tentacles were cold, not because of the coldness caused by being at the bottom of the river, but the hard coldness of metal.This is Liuyan, there can be no mistake.

For a moment, both of them remembered Luo Zongqiang's description of Liuyan: the exposed ore can be seen at a glance.

Ji Fuyun couldn't help chuckling, they looked in the wrong direction at first, thinking that the flowing rock would be embedded in the rock wall, but they didn't expect it to be exposed in such a way.

Xie Cheng glanced at Ji Fuyun, recalled his previous actions, and understood his thoughts, "Are you going to swallow this flowing rock?"

"Could it be possible that you want to split it equally with Luo Zongqiang?" Ji Fuyun asked in pretended surprise.

Xie Cheng smiled, cleaned up all the mud and sand on his body, and threw Liuyan into the underground river.Waiting for the next time to organize people to pan for "gold".

The two looked at each other and walked out of the cave tacitly.

Luo Zongqiang and the other three were waiting outside, and Lingbi had already woken up. Seeing Xie Cheng and Ji Fuyun walking out with smiles on their faces, thinking about what Chen Jia said to him just now, his complexion suddenly became strange.

"Let's go." Xie Cheng turned a blind eye to the weird smiles of these people, and carried Ji Fuyun on his back.

To everyone's delight, the temperature in the cave is gradually rising, which shows that they have passed through the center of the mountain and started to move towards the edge.

The light from the fluorite became weaker and weaker. After walking for two hours, the cave was already pitch black.

At this time, Lingbi was responsible for the pathfinding, and his keen sense of smell avoided many dangers for everyone in the dark.

"Should be able to go out soon." Lingbi's tone was very relaxed, while bouncing his nose, he took big strides happily.

"Oh!" Lingbi staggered and almost fell into the dark river, "There is a big rock!"

"Haha." Everyone laughed.

"What's so funny, the stone has no smell, of course I can't smell it!" Lingbi snorted.

Chen Jia laughed at him unceremoniously, and the two began to quarrel.The cave that had been suppressed all this time became more angry.

Xie Cheng frowned as he walked.

After turning a few more corners, Xie Cheng finally confirmed his thoughts, and his tone couldn't help sinking: "We went around and returned to the original place."

"Ah?" Lingbi responded, and when he realized what Xie Cheng was talking about, he was stunned.

Luo Zongqiang's face changed again and again, and he asked, "Brother Xie, did you walk past this place?"

"Yes." Xie Cheng said in a deep voice, "This is the place where I fell into the cave from above, and the place where Ji Fuyun landed should also be near here."

After being reminded by Xie Cheng, Ji Fuyun suddenly remembered that the rock in the middle of the road that tripped Ling's nose was most likely the one that hit his leg!He was silent for a moment, and his tone couldn't help being a bit bitter, "It's very likely."

"How could we go back to the original point!" Chen Jia couldn't understand, "We've been walking forward!" Even in order to avoid going around in circles, they would not always choose to walk on the same side of the passage.

"Let's go a little further." Luo Zongqiang said.

Chen Jia and Ling Bi didn't want to believe the fact that they almost lost their lives after so much hard work, and thought they could go out but returned to the original point!Hearing what Luo Zongqiang said, he seemed to have grasped the last straw, and hurried forward, eager to prove Xie Cheng's words wrong.

Xie Cheng was not angry, but followed behind them.

Ji Fuyun was on Xie Cheng's back, listening to his unusually calm breathing, his heart gradually sank.

After arriving at the fork in the road, Xie Cheng deliberately groped on the rock wall for a while, and sure enough, he touched the mark he left behind!In order to prove to others, he asked Luo Zongqiang to touch the mark. Although Luo Zongqiang couldn't understand the meaning of the mark, it didn't prevent him from understanding that it was left by Xie Cheng.

Although it was pitch black, everyone could still feel Luo Zongqiang's silence at that moment.

"It's over..." Lingbi couldn't help wailing, and leaned weakly against the rock wall.

Luo Zongqiang was also a little powerless, but he still did not give up some last hope: "It may be that we have gone the wrong way, which has caused a deviation in the direction that we cannot detect. There must be a way out. Even if there is no way out, it is impossible to return to the original point. We If you have been walking along the water, is it possible that the water will still flow in circles?"

"This river is probably stagnant water." Ji Fuyun said suddenly, he made a circle before realizing that everyone couldn't see it, and explained: "We can think of this mountain as an upside-down clock, and the dark river can be understood It became a long strip of lakes connected end to end trapped in the mountain, and the caves divided it into fragments. We thought it was an underground river, and walking along it naturally returned to the original point."

"This kind of understanding can explain why we returned to the original point, but how to explain the water flow?" Luo Zongqiang disagreed, "Could it be that a pool of stagnant water will circulate by itself?"

"In normal times, definitely not, the groundwater would only seep or evaporate." Ji Fuyun paused, feeling heavy, "But when we fell, the big lake with the Cole crocodile also sank."

Ji Fuyun didn't say any more, everyone can think of what happened next.

That big lake has at least several million tons of water, what will happen if it suddenly pours down?Of course, it will push a pool of stagnant water to flow until the lake water is completely dissolved in the dark river, reaching the balance of the water surface.

There was a long, long silence, and only the sound of breathing in the darkness proved the existence of people.

"Then... what should we do?" Chen Jia asked lightly, obviously being hit hard.

No one can answer this question.

After a long time, Xie Chengcai said: "Then look for another way out, if you can't find it, you have to dig one out."

Luo Zongqiang spat out a mouthful of phlegm, "I don't believe it, we can still be trapped to death here! Give me cheer up! Let's find the exit together!"

The words of the two didn't give the others much confidence, but Xie Cheng had already chosen a passage and planned to explore it. Chen Jia and Lingbi had no choice but to follow in despair.

The road was muddy, full of gravel and mud.Soon, the five people saw a pile of collapsed mountains, with large pieces of rubble piled up, blocking the top of the cave.

Here is where the lake collapsed, and the entrance to the cave is hidden by the original lake.

It's a pity that the entrance, that is, the exit, is blocked, and there is no possibility of it being excavated.

"Keep searching." Xie Cheng said in a deep voice.

The search is completely like luck, and life and death are handed over to fate.

The safe zone on the other side has exploded!

A mighty group of nearly 30 people went out, but only six people including Zhou Qiming and Zhang Shijie came back, and Luo Zongqiang's team was completely wiped out!

What on earth happened?Where did those who didn't come back go?People in the safe zone just feel that the sky is falling.

Liu Jun is the person in charge of Luo Zongqiang's team who stayed behind. He immediately asked Zhou Qiming to find out the cause of the incident. I can't help but stay there, unable to return to my senses for a long time.

Luo Zongqiang took away most of the force, what does it mean that these people suddenly disappeared?

Meaning that even if there is a safe zone to hide from the beast, they don't have the force to get enough food.It would be a devastating disaster.

For Xie Cheng's team, losing Xie Cheng, the backbone, was also a disaster. For a while, people were panicked, and some people blamed Luo Zongqiang, thinking that this was a conspiracy by Luo Zongqiang, and almost fought with Liu Jun and the others.

He Zhongqing stayed in the corner, her eyes were wide open, black and white were distinct but extremely dry, without the slightest air.

Why didn't her Brother Fuyun come back?
