Chapter 420
Wang Fan walked forward, using his five senses to explore the path, regulating his breathing, and at the same time using his skin to sense the toxins in the air. In fact, using all of this is very tiring.
After walking for a hundred or ten meters, it felt like it was going downhill rapidly. The stone walls on both sides seemed to be getting more and more humid, and there were even drops of water starting to drip from some places.
"Is this the underground water source Yu Han mentioned?" Wang Fan wondered. Wang Fan quickened his pace and unknowingly opened a distance of about ten meters from Yu Han and the others.
"No, if groundwater appears on the bottom layer, that's a good sign, but water seeps on the second layer here, which proves that the rocks in this area have become loose. Wang Fan, you must be more careful in front."
"Well, I really agree with that sentence: There is no absolute right or wrong about things, only appropriateness or inappropriateness." Wang Fan sighed inwardly.
"It's okay, I'll be careful." Just when Wang Fan was about to turn around and comfort him, a palm-sized stone suddenly fell from the roof of the cave at an untimely moment.
"Can't you cooperate? Aren't you frightening my Yuhan when you fall down now?" Wang Fan cursed in his heart. "Plop, tap," the stone that Wang Fan cursed looked like
As if he was deliberately going against Wang Fan, not only did the peeling not stop, but more and more pieces fell off, until Wang Fan quickened his pace and stopped to dodge.
"Wang Fan, be careful, get back quickly!!" Yuhan shouted nervously. She was well aware of the destructive power of the mine collapse. But it was still too late. There was a loud "boom", and a large piece of it was enough to
A large rock weighing several tons peeled off from the top and hit between Wang Fan and Yu Han, separating Wang Fan and Yu Han.
"Wang Fan, Wang Fan, are you okay?!" Yu Han shouted anxiously, but this kind of shouting is the most taboo during a landslide. It can only aggravate the danger and is in vain.
But Yuhanna still cared about this, not only shouted loudly, but also frantically tried to climb over.
A louder "rumbling" sound of falling rocks was accompanied by countless large and small rocks falling, blocking the last remaining gap in the middle.
The wise monk behind Yuhan was really worried about any danger, so he could only repeat his old trick, tap Yuhan's acupuncture points, and hold her back to a safe position.
"You don't want your life? You rushed forward without knowing how to advance or retreat. Before you could find the young master, you were smashed into a pulp."
"If he is gone, why should I live?" Although Yuhan couldn't move, he was still crying hoarsely.
The wise monk was speechless. He had no chance to repay this heart-wrenching love, but he also felt the pain and sorrow during it.
"Yuhan," the wise monk slowed down his tone, calling Yuhan by his full name for the first time instead of calling him "Saint Girl".
"It won't help if you act this way. Wang Fan has his own destiny, and he will be fine. But if you are unstable in your emotions, how can we help him get out of trouble?"
The gentle gentleness from the wise monk really helped Yuhan slowly calm down.
"Senior brother, please unlock my acupuncture points. I won't do anything random again." Yuhan said apologetically.
The wise monk unlocked Yuhan's acupuncture points. Yuhan picked up a stone from the ground and knocked on the stone wall of the cave with "pop, pop, pop". In such a closed space, the sound of knocking on the stone wall was louder than
Shouting is more effective.
After knocking for a few times, Yuhan stopped, raised his ears and listened carefully, hoping to hear Wang Fan's response. But apart from the suffocating smell of dust raised by falling rocks, the cave was so silent in the darkness that he could only hear himself.
heartbeat.
Yuhan knocked a few more times without giving up, but the only response she received was her own breathing.
Yuhan felt a tangled pain in his heart. He endured the crying and beat the stone wall with all his strength...
"Wait, stop, stop," the wise monk beside him suddenly stopped Yuhan's tapping, "Listen..."
"Pah, pah, pah," after listening, a few faint knocking sounds came from the empty cave.
"It's Wang Fan, he's fine, he's still alive." Yuhan's tears flowed down.
"I've already said that he is good at making people and astronomical phenomena. You can rest assured this time!" Monk Zhizhi comforted Yuhan on his face, but in fact he was greatly relieved in his heart.
"Yeah," Yuhan burst into laughter.
I knew that Wang Fan was fine, but what should I do if there were tens of tons of rocks blocking the tunnel in front of me and blocking the three of them? Besides, if there was one landslide, there would be no second, third, and next landslide if it was not protected.
Will we ever have such good luck again?
"Yuhan, how did you deal with situations like this in the past?" asked the wise monk.
"Take a detour, or..." Yuhan did not go on directly. He paused and gritted his teeth and said, "Or use explosives to blow up the loose rocks."
"Blow it up?!" No wonder Yuhan had to pause before answering. Using explosives rashly without knowing anything about it would be tantamount to "taking chestnuts from the fire." But if you want to take a detour, where can you go? After coming in,
This is the only mine road that I walked, and I didn't see any bifurcations.
The two of them were in a dilemma, "Pah, pah, pah". Several knocking sounds sounded in the cave. The sound seemed to be very close, but they could not tell the direction from which it came.
"Pah, pah, pah," Yuhan quickly responded a few times, fully expecting some kind of response from Wang Fan, but he didn't want to and became still again. After a long time, there was nothing more, until more than half an hour later.
There was another knocking sound.
"What the hell is this junior brother doing? Are you still thinking about this?" After this happened several times, the wise monk got tired of the long wait and complained a little helplessly.
"He's alone over there. When he gets bored, shouldn't he send us a signal to say he's safe?" Yuhan helped Wang Fan argue.
"Peng" suddenly another big stone fell from the roof of the cave not far in front of the two of them, revealing a cave entrance inside. "Brother, I don't have people like you who arrange people behind others. Fortunately, my wife is wise, otherwise I wouldn't know.
What did you say?" Isn't the head protruding from the hole none other than Wang Fan?
"Wang Fan, how did you get here?!" Yuhan greeted him in surprise.
It turned out that at Wang Fan's end, there was a small gap on the roof of the cave after the collapse, just big enough for a person to get through. Wang Fan, who was blocked here, heard Yu Han's knocking sound, and
While worried, I thought about how to meet Yuhan and the others, so I took the risk and climbed into the cave.
It turns out that this is a natural stone road that exists outside the mine. The direction of the mine follows the direction of the mineral vein, and the direction of the mineral vein and the mountain are also dependent on each other, and this natural stone road also follows the mountain, so although inside
It's complicated, but based on Yuhan's knocking sound, I still followed it all the way.
"Haha, it's really a bright future. Although the main mine tunnel is blocked, a natural stone tunnel has been discovered. In this way, we can bypass this dangerous area." The wise monk said with a relieved smile.
"We're not completely out of danger yet. When I drilled over just now, I discovered that the stone path is near or far from the main mine, and the rock walls are also thick or thin. In addition, water is starting to seep in from above. I'm worried about that.
The rocks are also beginning to loosen, so when we pass by, only one person can go up at a time. When they get there, they knock on the stone wall, and then the next one comes down."
The first one to pass was Yuhan. When she got into the stone tunnel, she realized what a "python cave" was. These tunnels were only as thick as a big python. People could only crawl inside, and there were big holes inside.
The small holes and intertwined side branches are like the branches of blood vessels. They are even worse than yesterday's "ghost beating the wall". If Wang Fan hadn't left the rope when he came over, he would have been trapped in another mystery.
In the array.
After crawling along the rope left by Wang Fan for almost half an hour, Yu Han emerged from the hole on the other side. She looked back and saw that more than 20 meters behind the hole, it was blocked by falling rocks.
The size of the tunnel in front is similar to that of the previous mine, and the digging method seems to be the same. It should be that we have returned to the previous main mine tunnel.
Yuhan then knocked on the cave wall with confidence to notify the people coming over there.
More than half an hour later, there was a noise from the python cave at the top, and Yuhan stepped forward to greet him. "Hey, how could it be you?" It was Liu Xin who poked his head out of the hole.
"What's wrong? You're not welcome? Or are you worried that I'll ruin your good deeds?" Liu Xin retorted.
"Tch, can I stop you? You slutty woman!" Yuhan's mouth was full of sarcasm, but he came up and gave Liu Xin a big hug. How could this feeling of life and death be diluted by a few words?
"Have you all brought up the supplies from the camp? This cave is more complicated than we previously estimated, and the supplies we brought have begun to run short."
"I brought them all, okay, isn't that the one at the back?" Only then did Yu Han see that there was a rope tied around Liu Xin's waist, and the other end of the rope was connected to something in the python cave.
"Come on, help us pull it out together." Liu Xin greeted.
The two of them worked together to pull the things out of the cave. It turned out to be a large backpack. "Except for the tent that is not needed in this cave, we carried all the other supplies on our backs."
"That's great. With these supplies, we should be fine until we find a water source."
Because Liu Xin and the others brought too much supplies, and it was inconvenient to carry them while crawling in the python cave, they broke them into pieces and distributed them into everyone's bags, then tied them to their waists and dragged them over by their feet.
.
On the afternoon of the second day after entering the cave, Wang Fan and the other five finally met together again. However, according to the map in their hands, the five of them had only walked half of the distance, and the closer they were to the core area, the more dangerous it became.
