Drops of sweat slipped from Instructor Hong's cheeks. Just when their figures were about to be swallowed into the fire, the flames behind them suddenly disappeared!
A brief sense of suffocation enveloped Instructor Hong's body, but the suffocation lasted for less than a second and disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared.
Only the burning smell left in the air can prove that there was once a fire that swept underground.
It's Shen Qingzhu...
Instructor Hong gritted his teeth and moved bit by bit towards the top of the passage. After an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light appeared above his head.
That's the light of the flashlight.
"There's someone down there! It seems to be Hong Hao!" A voice came from above.
The beam of the flashlight focused on Instructor Hong, and the figures quickly fell down. It was an instructor with a rope hanging from his waist.
Seeing those familiar faces, Instructor Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief. His tense body finally couldn't hold on any longer, and his sweat-soaked military uniform was dripping with beads of sweat like a waterfall.
The instructors quickly took over the unconscious Baili Pangpang, put on abseil equipment for both of them, said something on the intercom, and slowly ascended.
"Instructor Hong, Instructor Hong! Are you okay?!" During the ascent, Han Li checked Instructor Hong's physical condition and spoke anxiously.
Instructor Hong, who was slightly unconscious, waved his hand, "I'm fine, I'm just a little out of strength... There's another person down there."
Hearing these words, Han Li turned around and looked at each other with the other two instructors. The other two instructors nodded and continued to descend to search for the last person.
"How far is it from the ground?" Instructor Hong asked feebly.
"200 meters, and another 200 meters up, you can reach the surface." Han Li lowered his head and looked at the deep cave, "How deep is it here?"
"Two kilometers."
"Two kilometers?!" Han Li's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "How on earth did you get up here?!"
Instructor Hong shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to talk at all now.
Han Li seemed to have thought of something, and looked up at the sky blankly, falling into silence.
Their equipment... simply wasn't enough to get them down to two kilometers.
However, he did not tell Instructor Hong the news.
Not long after, Instructor Hong and Baili Pangpang were brought back to the surface, directly carried on stretchers, and carried by medical staff to the outside of the mountain.
After a long time.
Outside Jinnan Mountain, Yuan Gang silently watched Baili Pangpang and Instructor Hong being put into the ambulance and driving into the distance amidst the roaring warning sounds.
The car carrying Lin Qiye had already set off ten minutes ago.
"Chief, the people sent to search and rescue Shen Qingzhu are back." Han Li ran to his side and said, "Our abseil equipment only went down one kilometer underground. Later, the two instructors took the risk and directly used the tools to descend.
Go to the bottom of the cave.
but……"
"But what?" Yuan Gang frowned slightly.
"The cave created by the original [Absolute Earth Territory] has completely collapsed, and earth and rocks have buried everything. They can't find Shen Qingzhu at all...
And judging from the response of the life detection equipment, there is no life fluctuation in the underground cave."
Han Li took a deep breath, "Based on what Instructor Hong just described, Shen Qingzhu... can be confirmed to have died."
Yuan Gang clenched his fists tightly. He looked back at Jinnan Mountain shrouded in darkness. After a while, he slowly spoke:
"Evacuate... leave the rest to the people who finish the job."
…
The dark night gradually recedes.
In the dead Jinnan Mountain, a ray of light shines through the dark clouds and shines on the continuous barren mountain peaks.
The heavy rain that was originally torrential became lighter and lighter, and the raindrops fell on the Jinnan Mountains after the disaster, dripping to the ground along the green branches and leaves.
Time goes by.
The dark clouds dispersed and the sun shone brightly.
As the sun gradually sinks into the Western Mountains, the evening sun shines across the mountains, as if everything in the mountains is covered with a layer of pale golden gauze.
In a barren wasteland, a silkworm cocoon fell into the soil and trembled slightly, as if a new life was about to emerge from the cocoon.
In the west, a coquettish figure slowly walked out of nothingness, with long hair, phoenix eyes, and a tuxedo, noble and elegant.
He is one of the three "gods" of the Church of Ancient Gods, in the "Klein" realm, [Babble].
"The aura of the projection disappeared underground here." Yayu lowered his head and looked at the soil under his feet, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the thick soil layer.
"The soul of the projection was wiped out, and the way of death was very strange. From that time on, my spirit..." He frowned tightly, shook his head, and said no more.
"What on earth happened here... Patrick!! Let's go catch jellyfish!!!"
Just in the middle of his gibbering words, his entire face became violently distorted, and a sharp and strange sound came from his throat. At the same time, his arms suddenly opened up, and an exaggerated smile appeared on his face.
Snapped--!
A crisp slap sounded, and Yaoyu slapped himself on the cheek. He lowered his head and gasped, his neck red, and his eyes full of anger and confusion.
"Damn it! What... happened to me?!"
He roared angrily, grabbing his head with both hands, as if trying to pull something out of it.
After a few minutes, he finally calmed down. The panic and rage just now disappeared, replaced by calmness and composure.
"No matter who you are... I will definitely strangle you and won't let you torture my soul anymore." Yayu frowned and whispered, "Everything started when that projection disappeared. Something must have happened here."
He stretched out his hand, placed his palm on the ground, and slowly closed his eyes.
"This look under the ground... is it a Flame-veined Earth Dragon? Is there actually a Flame-veined Earth Dragon here... That loser Ma Yitian is indeed dead, huh, and... Eh?"
Yayu was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes, with some doubts appearing in them.
After hesitating for a moment, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the void, as if he had ingested something from the ground. The next moment, a charred body appeared in front of him out of thin air.
This body has been burned to a disgraceful state by the flames, and there is no trace of life fluctuations. One leg has been completely carbonized and broken into slag, and even the facial features on the face are unrecognizable.
"You're still breathing after being burned like this?" A look of surprise appeared on Yao Yu's face. He looked at the body in front of him carefully, his eyes lighting up slightly.
"The potential is very good, he is a good seedling..."
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, he lowered his head to look at Shen Qingzhu, who had changed beyond recognition, and spoke leisurely:
"I know you can still hear, your talent is very good, and it's a miracle that you can survive such an injury... I decided to give you a chance."
He whispered to Shen Qingzhu's ear and said word by word,
"A chance to abandon the past and regain a new life. I can recover all your injuries. I can make you stronger faster!"
I just want you to believe in me and become... my [believer].
