The soil that has been drilled by the earthworm is loose.

Let alone a large beast that can drag people away, even if they step on it, they will leave a shallow footprint.

But only some dragging traces can be seen here, and no footprints of wild beasts or the like can be seen at all.

Therefore, she couldn't figure out for a while what exactly dragged away those people last night.

But that’s fine too.

Even if their partners come looking for them later, they probably won't be able to find them.

The group of people searched very carefully, and at the same time, everyone also walked very carefully step by step in the forest. .??.??

Everyone was very patient. Even if it took them half a day, they could only walk more than two miles.

Long Tianyu has always been by her side.

He squinted his eyes and looked towards the unknown end of the woods.

"It's not an option to continue like this. Even if it gets dark, we won't be able to go far," he whispered.

Lin Mengya also knew.

However, they have no better way now.

While Long Tianyu was thinking about whether to call everyone over, they first concentrated their efforts on finding one direction. If they found nothing, they would switch to the other side.

Lin Mengya suddenly stopped.

"Did you hear anything?" Her feet were frozen in place, and her whole body was like a wary deer.

Long Tianyu immediately made a gesture, asking everyone to stand still and not make any sound, and then listen attentively like her.

Soon, someone asked in a low voice: "Is the owner of the house talking about the sound of quicksand?"

"Yes, it sounds like this."

Lin Mengya looked at the other party with admiration.

His ears are very sensitive, which is a very rare gift.

The man was a little embarrassed, but his eyes were still bright and pointed in one direction.

"over there!"

Long Tianyu waved his hand, indicating that the man should leave first, and then everyone followed.

Although everyone remained quiet, the speed was not slow.

Soon, they found the source of the sound.

But at first glance, everyone was a little confused.

They were two big rocks that looked like stone hammers.

The two stones are connected in the middle, and the quicksand flows continuously from the connected position.

They walked around and found that the stone was covered with various vines and plants, which looked like they should have been there for many years.

Lin Mengya completed a circle and finally came to the gap that was about the size of a human head.

Only then did she realize that in addition to the sand flowing out, there was also some sand flowing from the rocks on one side to the other at an extremely slow speed.

At the gap, it also accumulated into a small pile of sand.

It's like an hourglass lying on the ground.

"Such a big stone, hey, how heavy is it?"

Someone out of curiosity wanted to step forward and give it a try.

The result, of course, was that it didn't move at all.

Some people knocked on it curiously, wanting to know if the stone was solid.

As a result, the same knocking sound suddenly came from inside!

The man was stunned and thought there was something wrong with his ears.

So, he knocked harder, and the same rhythmic sound came from inside.

"Oh my god! Is there a ghost inside this stone?"

He was startled, jumped back three feet, and looked at the big rock in front of him in panic.

This sound soon alerted others.

Everyone gathered around, so after listening to his explanation, everyone continued the test with some disbelief.

This time! The sound is clearer than ever!

They can be sure that there are living things inside even if there are no people inside.

Long Tianyu's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Qing Han is inside?

"Get out of the way!"

He ordered in a deep voice.

Everyone walked aside obediently.

Long Tianyu walked up quickly and quickly checked the condition of the stone.

Unfortunately, he didn't know how thick it was inside, and he wasn't sure if it was Qinghan inside, so he quickly tapped the code word.

"Qinghan? Can the stone be broken?"

This time, there was no response at any time like before, but after a moment of silence, there was a rhythmic knocking sound.

"It's me. It's broken. Be careful."

Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya were extremely surprised.

I didn’t expect it! I didn’t expect it to actually be here!

Since Qinghan said this, they had to break it as soon as possible.

They began to look around for a mechanism that could get into the stone.

It's a pity that it was not found.

The flow of quicksand is very slow, but Qinghan has been imprisoned here for who knows how long, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer.

Finally, the two discussed it and decided to start from the breach first.

Everyone is very experienced this time.

After all, he is someone who has experienced cutting iron chains, so he will be more comfortable this time.

Long Tianyu communicated with Qinghan in advance and asked him to cover his ears as much as possible. Don't be afraid, they will rescue him as soon as possible.

Qinghan also responded in the same way, telling them not to care too much about him, he could still survive

After some discussion, everyone decided to take turns using that ax to chop.

But this time they have to be as precise as possible, one person with one axe.

Fortunately, the stone is connected

The joint was not too thick, and after three blows of the ax, the joint was completely broken.

Only a muffled sound was heard, and the big stone that was not filled with light cold finally fell to the ground.

Previously, due to the uneven weight, Qinghan's side sank, which caused the sand on the other side to keep flowing into Qinghan's side.

Long Tianyu threw down the ax and continued to knock.

But this time, after a while, a voice came from inside, "It's okay."

But the sound of knocking was far less powerful than before.

It seems that this huge sound still has an impact on Qinghan.

This made Long Tianyu a little bit defensive.

He didn't know what was going on inside, so he casually tried to ask Qinghan if he could climb out of the break. ??

As a result, Qinghan told him that his feet were trapped in quicksand.

Even if he wants to come out, he still has to get some of the sand out.

Otherwise, once he sinks into the sand, he will risk suffocation before he can climb out.

Lin Mengya made a rough judgment based on Qinghan's situation.

It should be located at the innermost part of the stone.

And he must have been almost buried before this huge hourglass-shaped thing fell over.

So even if the hourglass fell over, he would not be able to climb out because he was stuck in the innermost part of the sand.

So now the simplest and safest way is to find a way to pour out some of the sand from this half of the hourglass, so that Qinghan can climb out.
