Chen Ran, carrying Huang Lele and Xiaoyu on his back, had just adjusted his posture at the entrance of the cave when he heard Wu Bing's surprise sound and a series of echoes coming from below. It was obvious that Wu Bing had discovered the underground lake below. (_PA&书&
Bar)
Although the situation below has been detected through the blood cup, Chen Ran couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Wu Bing's surprise. No matter whether he could go out or not, as long as there was water, it would at least allow them to relieve themselves first.
Quench your thirst and relieve your body's discomfort. You haven't had a drop of water for several days in a row. This feeling of thirst is really uncomfortable!
Wu Bing's voice of surprise cheered up Xiaoyu. She could feel that her body had reached a certain critical point. If she couldn't drink water anymore, she really didn't know if she could hold on.
It was fine when he didn't hear Wu Bing's voice. When he heard it, Chen Ran felt more and more hungry and thirsty. He wanted to jump into the water and drink heavily.
Chen Ran didn't waste any time and let Xiaoyu hold him and slid down. Although he was carrying one on his back and holding another in front of him, because he was sliding down, he slid up very quickly, and it was easy to slide down.
I saw the water below.
Since the end of the rope was still four or five meters away from the water, when it reached the bottom, Xiaoyu let go of Chen Ran and asked Chen Ran to put Huang Lele down first.
Huang Shaopeng had been waiting under the rope. When he saw Chen Ran sliding down with his sister on his back, he stretched out his hands in a hug and shouted for Chen Ran to put his sister down!
Hearing his shout, Wu Bing and Mr. Hou quickly gathered around and stretched out their hands to help catch Huang Lele. Chen Ran put Huang Lele down bit by bit and threw Huang Lele down when he could no longer put it down.
Wu Bing, Mr. Hou and Huang Shaopeng hurriedly caught Huang Lele and swam to the side to make room for Chen Ran. Chen Ran jumped directly after they made room.
With a pop, Chen Ran jumped into the cold lake. The water was not deep, just up to his chest. He stood up from the water, wiped the water droplets from his face, and Chen Ran quickly hugged him and jumped down.
Xiaoyu.
The two hugged each other, and after they stood firm, they couldn't wait to take stock of the environment in front of them.
Although there was a slight light inside the cave due to the water light, Xiaoyu could not see too far, but for Chen Ran, the impact was not great.
Just like what he detected through the blood cup, this is a natural stone cave, or a water cave. The water cave is surrounded by stone walls. Although the stone walls are naturally formed, they have obviously been artificially repaired. This is from their feet.
You can also feel the bottom of the water because the bottom is flat, just like the pool of a swimming pool.
The shape of the pool is a bit like an awl. Since the pool is surrounded by stone walls and there is no place to stand, they can only stay in the water.
After Mr. Hou and Wu Bing caught Huang Lele, they handed him over to Huang Shaopeng's care. Then they no longer cared about anything, threw themselves aside and started drinking water.
When I was drinking, I might not be satisfied, so I just jumped into the water and started drinking. I didn’t hold it in any longer, then I jumped out of the water and gasped for air. I just took a few breaths to regain my strength and then started drinking again.
Plunged in head first.
Huang Shaopeng was the only one among them. Although he was eager to drink a lot, he had to let his sister drink some water to regain some strength. Fortunately, Huang Lele was able to stand on her own after drinking a few large sips of water.
In just a moment, Chen Ran discovered that what he observed through the blood cup was slightly different from what he saw now. For example, what he saw through the blood cup was not comprehensive and could only be seen roughly, and what he heard with his ears was also different.
It was different. When he was exploring through the blood cup, he heard almost no sound, but now he could faintly hear the sound of loud running water in the distance. It should be an underground river with a large flow, but he didn't know where it was flowing.
Yes, if it flows to surface rivers or surface lakes, then their hope of getting out will undoubtedly be greater, but if it flows deeper underground, it will be even more difficult for them to get out.
Chen Ran didn't think so much for the time being, and he didn't want to think too much at this time. Although his physical fitness was better than others, he still managed to hold on without water for several days. Now he saw Wu Bing and the others.
How can I hold back even though they are all drinking like crazy?
Of course, although he couldn't wait to plunge his head into the water and drink a lot, before that, Chen Ran still released his elixir energy to thoroughly explore the place where they were. After confirming that there was no danger, he
Then he took Xiaoyu to the other side where no one was.
Although everyone did not have a clear bargaining area when they were drinking water, they all consciously found a place. It cannot be said that they were conscious, it can only be said that they chose a place unconsciously.
What surprised both Chen Ran and Xiaoyu was that as soon as they took a taste of the water, they found that instead of having a strange smell, the water in the pool had a faint sweetness, as if glucose had been added to it. This made them surprised.
They were already very hungry and thirsty, and they felt like they couldn't stop after just one sip. After taking this sip, they couldn't help but drink it down in one gulp.
Chen Ran didn't know how much he drank. Anyway, he kept drinking until his stomach was bloated and he felt like he couldn't drink anymore, so he stopped without finishing.
Even though he drank so much, Chen Ran still felt thirsty, as if this thirsty feeling had been engraved on his soul, so that no matter how much water he drank, he couldn't quench his thirst. But now he felt really thirsty.
I can't drink anymore.
Wu Binghou Zhang Yang and Sun Li plunged into the water and drank a lot, but they all came out of the water at this time. It's just that they drank too fast and got into the water again, so now they are leaning on the stone wall to take a big drink.
Panting heavily.
Apparently, like Chen Ran, they still felt thirsty, but they could no longer drink. If they drank any more, they would pour it out of their mouths and could only take a few breaths to rest before continuing to drink.
Chen Ran was also out of breath, so he simply leaned against the stone wall to rest. Xiaoyu was not in such a hurry to drink, but drinking water at this time was tiring for them, and they were very tired after drinking one breath, so they hugged Chen Ran
Ran's arms rested with her head on Chen Ran's shoulders.
No one spoke, they were all panting and resting. Speaking of which, this was their first serious rest since they entered this underground world. They had just drank enough water, and their bodies felt better. Once their bodies felt better, their brains would undoubtedly feel a little better.
Start thinking wildly.
While panting, they looked at the water hole in front of them. At this moment, their thoughts were surprisingly consistent. They really didn't know what to say. I think outsiders, they can be said to be the proud ones of heaven.
, however, at this moment, they are staying in such a water hole, and they may even stay here forever and never return to the outside world.
If you don't lose, you won't cherish it. They didn't feel anything when they were outside. Now that they are trapped here and can't go back outside, they undoubtedly miss the days outside.
When Wu Bing and the others didn't drink water, they felt that as long as they could drink water, it would be worth their while to die. But now that they had drunk enough water, they obviously didn't think so anymore.
Of course, this is understandable. After all, they all felt like they couldn't hold on any longer at the time. But now that they had regained some strength after drinking water, they naturally wanted to go out again.
There was nothing to say now. There was only one passage in front of them, and the sound of running water came from the end of this passage.
After taking a breath to regain their strength, Chen Ran and the others started walking forward. Since this was a water cave and not a river, they could only stay in the water and move forward. This undoubtedly made it more difficult for them to move forward.
The water is not deep, but it is almost up to the shoulders. It is undoubtedly quite tiring when moving forward.
This is not the most unbearable thing. The most unbearable thing is that the water is too cold. When they first got into the water, they were only thinking about how to drink enough and did not pay attention to the cold water and did not feel it.
, but now after staying in the water for a long time, I feel that the water is getting colder and colder. After a while, I feel like I fell into the river in winter.
If this feeling were normal, Wu Bing and Sun Li would obviously not feel anything at all based on their physical fitness. But the key point is that this is not a normal period. Their bodies have already been exhausted to the extreme. How can they feel it now that they are staying in the cold river water?
I can bear it.
However, Wu Bing, Zhang Yang, and Sun Li were able to hold on as they had practiced martial arts after all, especially Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was considered a second-generation official. Although he had endured hardships when being trained by instructors, he had not endured hardships.
Suffering, and now it is undoubtedly a serious punishment. If it were before, he would definitely not be able to bear it long ago, but now his body has been tempered, especially after absorbing the red snake essence, his potential has been stimulated.
, so among the few people, he is the one who can hold on the best.
This time he was the one walking in the front.
In comparison, Mr. Hou's health is undoubtedly much worse. Although his will is relatively strong, he can still persist for a short time. After a long time, he feels that his legs are frozen and stiff, and in the end he can only let go.
Wu Bing and Sun Li dragged him forward.
Although Huang Shaopeng was turned blue from the cold, he could still hold on, but he walked too slowly. He fluttered forward a few times before stopping to take a breath. Sometimes when he couldn't move, Chen Ran had to pull him up.
.
Chen Ran was walking at the front at first, but he had to take care of Xiaoyu and Huang Lele and slowly moved to the back.
Although Xiaoyu had practiced martial arts and was in better shape than Huang Shaopeng, she was a girl with some inherent deficiencies after all. After a long time, her face turned pale and her whole body shivered due to the cold.
Even though the elixir energy in his body was very low at this time, seeing Xiaoyu's appearance, Chen Ran felt distressed and couldn't help but groom her body over and over again.
The one with the worst health is undoubtedly Huang Lele. Although Huang Lele also realizes that she has dragged down Chen Ran and they try hard to hold on and does not want to drag others down, but with her body here, Chen Ran and Xiaoyu can only hold her on both sides.
Only then can we move forward.
It was nothing at first, but after walking for a while and realizing that it was not over yet, she started to want Chen Ran and Xiaoyu to leave her to fend for themselves.
She is obviously not the only one who has this idea.
"Looking up the mountain and running to death" they can now be said to be "hearing the noise and exhausting the horse". When they first set off from the other end of the water cave, they had just drank enough water to restore some physical strength. In this case
, hearing the loud sound of running water at the other end of the passage, they still had great expectations in their hearts. It was just that they thought they could reach the other end by walking forward for a while, but after walking for such a long time, they still couldn't reach the other end.
We didn't reach the end, we could only hear the sound of running water getting louder and louder, but we couldn't reach the end.
If this situation persists for a short period of time, it will undoubtedly be okay. However, as time goes by and they are all a little stiff and numb from the cold water, the expectations in their hearts gradually turn into despair.
When they moved forward for some distance, although the sound of running water was loud as if ringing in their ears, there was still no movement at all. They couldn't help but feel a little desperate!
But it was at this time that they discovered that they had actually reached the end!
Chen Ran had to take care of Huang Lele, Xiaoyu and even Huang Shaopeng, so he kept a distance from Mr. Hou and the others. Huang Lele, who was numb from the cold while he was carrying him, caught up with Mr. Hou and the others with the support of Xiaoyu and Huang Shaopeng.
At that time, Mr. Hou Wu Bing and others were looking ahead in a daze.
Since there was not much elixir energy left, Chen Ran did not use elixir energy along the way. Since the general terrain of this water cave was like two cones facing each other, the water channel became wider and wider at first.
After reaching the limit, it became narrower and narrower. When they reached the end, they suddenly reached the end. Therefore, although Chen Ran had been looking ahead, he didn't realize that they had reached the end until then!
The end is the tip of the cone, which means that there is nothing in front of the end, it is just a wall.
It was also at this time that Chen Ran realized why they heard the sound of running water being so loud but never saw any movement.
Obviously, it is almost no longer necessary to think about this problem. It is because the sound of running water comes from the other side of the stone wall.
Although the front is blocked by a wall, it is not a dead end. If there is no road at all, then Chen Ran and the others are really doomed.
Fortunately, although there was a stone wall in front of them, a hole that looked like a sewer was dug out in the stone wall!
It's just that this hole is too frightening. The frightened President Hou and Wu Bing clearly know that the hole in front of them is their only way out, but they still hesitate to go in!
Obviously, it was not just Mr. Hou and Wu Bing who were frightened. Even Chen Ran was frightened when he saw the entrance of the cave. After he released his alchemy energy to explore the situation inside the cave entrance, he was more than frightened...
