This cave entrance is actually very simple. To put it bluntly, it is just a tunnel. It is a bit like the robbery cave that Chen Ran encountered before in Guixiong Ridge. The difference is that the robbery cave was dug underground, but now this cave entrance is
Excavated from the stone wall.
If it were just such a cave entrance, Chen Ran and the others would naturally not be so frightened. Not only would they not be frightened, but they would also be surprised. But the key point is that the cave is full of water, and the water is unknown.
It's red.
Obviously they don't care what color the water is. For them, as long as it's not poisonous, it doesn't matter. Even if it is poisonous, it doesn't matter as long as they don't die immediately. The key is whether the hole can let them out.
From the upper part of the cave entrance above the water, it can be seen that the entrance of the cave is sloping downwards. This is probably a passage sloping downwards. If they want to enter such a passage, they will undoubtedly have to dive into the water.
, but it would be easier if the passage were wider, but now this passage can only accommodate one person.
What does it mean to only have room for one person?
It means that if they want to go in, they have to crawl forward. It means that if there is any danger in the passage, they cannot hide. It means that if the hole is too long, they will not be able to hold it in the water or have no strength.
Being able to be suffocated to death means that they can't turn back if there is any critical situation. It also means that if they all get in, as long as one of them has a problem and blocks the passage, no one behind will be able to escape.
Dropped.
Looking at the hole in front of him, Mr. Hou suddenly thought of so many possible situations.
Thinking of these circumstances, Mr. Hou obviously lacked confidence in whether they could get out. It was almost impossible for them to get through this water hole in their current situation.
Although the others didn't think as much as Mr. Hou thought, they also knew that they had to dive into this water hole if they wanted to continue walking.
They all thought about whether they could hold on if they really had to get into this water hole. After much deliberation, no one could guarantee that they could hold on forever. After all, this was not a simple climb into a cave but a dive into the water.
of.
Chen Ran was also in a dilemma. He had just used Dan Qi to detect the water hole in front of him. The water in the hole was red, so there was nothing to worry about. It was just that the water was mixed with a kind of red sediment or minerals.
What worried him was that the passage under the detection of his elixir energy was not as long as usual. Although due to being in the water, the distance that his elixir energy could detect was almost shortened by half, but even if it was shortened by half, it would still be a distance of more than twenty meters.
of.
However, the distance of more than twenty meters did not allow him to detect the head. Such a long distance would not allow Huang Lele and Hou, who were in the worst physical condition, to reach the end. Even he himself would not be able to reach the end if he did not use pill energy.
Although he can also use his alchemy energy to take care of Hou and them, his alchemy energy is limited after all. It is obviously not possible to just rely on his alchemy energy. After all, his alchemy energy has been detected for more than 20 meters and he has not been able to detect anyone.
Do you know how long it will take next?
This is not what worries him the most. What worries him most is that this passage is not straight, but winding.
Not to mention the twists and turns, the passage is sometimes narrow and sometimes wide. The widest part is just as wide as the hole in front of you. Although people can pass through the narrow parts, they have to adjust their bodies to get through.
How can they get through such a narrow hole when they are in poor physical condition and cannot see or hear in the water?
If a person's body happens to be there, then everyone behind this person will undoubtedly be suffocated to death in this passage.
No matter how difficult it is in their hearts, there is only one road in front of them now. If they don't go down, why don't they go back to the stone palace?
They had no choice at all now. They had come this far and had to give it a try. Chen Ran sighed and looked at Mr. Hou's expressions when he saw them. He knew that they were as hesitant as him now.
There was no way to hesitate like this. Chen Ran thought for a moment and decided to let everyone wait here. He would go down and take a look first.
Although this is the only passage in front of them now, whether this passage can lead out is obviously still unknown.
Chen Ran wanted to go down and take a look first. Firstly, he wanted to see what was going on at the end of the cave. Secondly, he wanted to see if there were any dangers in the passage where his elixir energy could not be detected. Thirdly, he wanted to go and kill those special ones in advance.
See if the narrow area can be cleaned.
He has Dan Qi, which is undoubtedly very convenient whether it is to see if there is any danger or what is the situation at the end. Once he finds something is wrong, he can immediately turn around and come back. It is also easy for him to turn around and come back alone.
It's just that his idea was good, but he ignored his position at the center of their group. After he made his decision known, he was immediately opposed by everyone.
The one who had the strongest reaction was Xiaoyu. When she heard Chen Ran say this, she immediately hugged Chen Ran's arm. The meaning was undoubtedly obvious. It's okay for you to go, but you have to take me with you.
Although Wu Bing, Zhang Yang and Huang Shaopeng did not say anything, it was clear from their expressions that they did not want to be separated from Chen Ran.
Not to mention that they don't want to be separated from Chen Ran, even Mr. Hou obviously doesn't want to be separated from Chen Ran. Although he also believes that Chen Ran will definitely come back after investigating the situation and will not leave them alone, but he is not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of what happens.
, what if something happens to Chen Ran and he cannot come back.
Any one of them can be missing, but Chen Ran cannot be missing.
Although Mr. Hou disagreed with Chen Ran's proposal, Chen Ran's proposal dispelled his hesitation.
"Let's forget it all. Instead of waiting here, we might as well go for it together."
Wu Bing, Huang Shaopeng and the others nodded.
Obviously, Chen Ran's proposal not only made Mr. Hou no longer hesitant, but also Wu Bing and Huang Shaopeng. They would rather take risks with Chen Ran than wait here.
"Okay then." Although Chen Ran still felt that it would be more appropriate for him to go explore the road first, but since everyone wanted to follow him directly, he had no choice but to agree.
Seeing that everyone had no hesitation at this moment, he struck while the iron was hot and asked everyone to get ready: "Try not to drink the water in the cave. Everyone should see if there is anything to hold water. If there is anything, try to fill it up. Wait and hold it in.
It’s better to drink when you’re not here…”
Water contains oxygen. If you can't hold it in any longer, drinking some water can relieve your pain. Of course, this will only have a small effect.
In fact, Chen Ran needless to say, since they have decided to sneak into this passage, Wu Bing and Sun Li obviously know more than Chen Ran in this regard.
Everyone was prepared, but when they were about to sneak in, a problem arose, that is, how to arrange the arrangements for Huang Lele, Huang Shaopeng and even Mr. Hou.
There is no need to think about it to know that the three of them cannot hold on at all. Under other circumstances, Chen Ran and the others can still take care of them, but now they can only crawl into the hole one by one, and Chen Ran and the others have no choice.
It's okay to drag them and carry them on your back, but who dares to carry them? You must know that this is not climbing a tunnel where you can rest when you are tired. This is diving in the water. Once you can't climb anymore, you will be dead.
And when they couldn't crawl anymore, they naturally blocked the entrance of the cave. Once the entrance of the cave was blocked, the people behind them were also doomed.
Mr. Hou obviously has nothing to worry about. Even if others leave him alone, Sun Li will not leave him alone.
The only ones who are worried are the siblings Huang Lele and Huang Shaopeng.
But the only one who was really worried was Huang Shaopeng. Huang Lele had no confidence that she could go out, and she no longer wanted to go out.
She said she didn't want to go out, but from the tears she kept shed, it was undoubtedly known that she was just telling the truth out of helplessness.
Who would be willing to wait to die here if they could get out?
Now that we are here, we are waiting to die. Not to mention that Xiaoyu doesn't agree, Chen Ran obviously won't agree either.
Even Mr. Hou didn't want to leave her alone. There were more than a dozen of them and now there were only eight of them left. If it was just at the beginning, Mr. Hou might not have cared about their life or death, but now he was still able to avoid death.
It's better not to die.
What's more, everyone has supported each other along the way and has developed feelings for each other. Even though they feel a little embarrassed, no one wants to leave them alone.
After thinking about it, Chen Ran decided to carry Huang Lele on his back and let Wu Bing take care of Huang Shaopeng. As for Mr. Hou, Sun Li and Zhang Yang would take care of him.
In fact, Chen Ran also knows that no matter how he arranges it, the most important thing is how long the passage is. If it is short, it will be fine with his elixir taking care of everyone. If it is long, everyone will finish the game without his elixir taking care of it.
Chen Ran directly tied Huang Lele to his back, and tore off the two trouser legs and twisted them into a rope. One end was tied to his hand and neck, and the other end was tied to Xiaoyu's hand and neck. Since he was carrying Huang Lele on his back, he could not
The only way to carry Xiaoyu is to pull her back and forth like this.
Wu Bing and Mr. Hou also tied each other together in the same manner, but they were not tied tightly, they just held on to the rope. They couldn't be buried alone and a whole group of people were buried together.
After being prepared, Chen Ran carried Huang Lele and Xiaoyu to the entrance of the cave. He first put his hand into the water hole to test the water temperature. Instead of being cold, the water in the hole was a little warm.
Planting red minerals is a bit troublesome, but apart from making people feel a little uncomfortable, these minerals have no other effects.
After testing the water temperature, Chen Ran wrapped his backpack around his arm and shook Xiaoyu's hand. Then he nodded without saying anything more. He asked Huang Lele to close his eyes and mouth, turned around, took a breath and then
He plunged into the water and crawled into the hole little by little.
Although the cave was not crowded with Chen Ran carrying Huang Lele on his back, it was almost just right. Because the entrance of the cave looked like a huge mouth of a beast, when Chen Ran climbed in with Huang Lele on his back, it seemed as if Chen Ran and Huang Lele were together.
Being swallowed by this red hole generally made the hearts of those watching behind unconsciously beat a little.
Especially Xiaoyu, as soon as Chen Ran got in with Huang Lele on her back, before her legs disappeared, she desperately followed Chen Ran's feet and dived in.
After Xiaoyu sneaked in, it was Zhang Yang's turn. Zhang Yang obviously wanted to go in, but he was afraid when he really wanted to go in.
Mr. Hou urged him to hurry up and stop getting further away from Chen Ran and the others, and then he hurriedly dove in.
The rope tied to Zhang Yang pulled Mr. Hou. After Zhang Yang entered, Mr. Hou naturally followed, and then Sun Li, who was looking after Mr. Hou from behind, followed by Huang Shaopeng and Wu Bing.
Huang Shaopeng was also a little scared, but Sun Li was pulling him in front, so in order not to hold him back, he didn't hesitate.
[The weather has turned cold recently, brothers, please pay attention to your health...don’t be like me.]
