When the old sheepherder reluctantly returned to the cave, the man who was waiting outside the cave and was sent by Xu Mantang, the old branch secretary, to report to the countryside had already returned with the deputy mayor in charge of culture and education.

Deputy Township Mayor Jiang didn't take it seriously when he first received the report, and it wasn't even a year or two before the disappearance occurred in Zhongyuan Cave.

But after he heard about Chu Yu's true identity, he knew that what happened this time was not trivial, so he immediately called Yun Qing, the executive deputy county magistrate in charge of culture and education, to report.

When Yunqing received the call, he was shocked when he heard that the name of the female student involved in the accident was Chu Yu. After confirming the identity of the Chu Yu mentioned by the other party, he quickly hung up the phone with his brother-in-law, Chu Tianshu, Propaganda Director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee.

.

"Brother-in-law! Something happened to Xiaoyu..." Although Yun Qing was a little hesitant, Chu Yu was Chu Tianshu's only child. She didn't know whether she was alive or dead, so she couldn't hide it.

"Yunqing, what's wrong with Xiaoyu?" Chu Tianshu was studying at the Yanjing Central Party School. When he received a call from Yunqing, he heard that something happened to his only daughter, and he, who had always been calm and composed, became a little confused.

"Xiaoyu, she...she went to Qiu Shan Valley to do social investigation, but for some reason she ended up in Zhongyuan Cave, and now she is missing!" Chu Yu didn't tell her when she went to Guhe County to do social investigation, and she didn't know.

The specific circumstances of the incident.

On the other end of the phone, Chu Tianshu didn't speak for a long time.

"How did your county arrange rescue?" After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Tianshu returned to his usual composure.

"I just received the report..." Yun Qing replied with some embarrassment. He was indeed a little concerned but confused.

"Then you should say hello to Secretary Xun Kuang first! I will rush back as soon as possible!" Chu Tianshu did not mean to blame Yun Qing. On the contrary, as his daughter's aunt, he knew Yun Qing's feelings for his daughter.

It didn't take long for a call from Hunjiang Municipal Party Committee Secretary Jiang Zhengyuan to the office of Guhe County Party Committee Secretary Xun Kuang.

"Xiao Xun! How could Chu Yu, a cadre of the Yenching University Student Union, go missing in Zhongyuan Cave in Qiu Shan Valley while conducting social investigations in your county? Xiao Yu is the only daughter of Minister Tian Shu. If anything happens to her, I will forgive her.

I can’t help you!”

"Old leader, Minister Yun Qing has already told me about this matter. Classmate Chu Yu probably doesn't know about the disappearances that happened in Zhongyuan Cave. Maybe she doesn't know the danger of entering the cave, so..."

"... Now I have sent comrades from the county bureau to the scene of the incident to organize rescue. Comrade Xu Kui has asked to lead his own team. It will be more convenient for him to organize militia to assist. Besides, he is a local and came from the army. To do this

This kind of work is more experienced..."

"...Okay! Leader, please rest assured. We will do our best." Xun Kuang was Jiang Zhengyuan's secretary. Yun Qing hung up the phone with Chu Tianshu and went to his office.

Although he reported the situation to Jiang Zhengyuan a little early, it was not deceiving the leader. However, the subsequent arrangements must naturally be the same as what he reported to Jiang Zhengyuan.

The commotion suddenly became louder. Although Jiang Zhengyuan said on the phone that he believed in the comrades in Furukawa County, Jiang Zhengyuan put down the phone and thought for a moment, and finally answered the call from the commander of the military division Zhou Cunhou.

Chu Tianshu was Jiang Zhengyuan's right-hand man, and he didn't want to have any complaints against him on this matter. Half an hour later, the military division dispatched a reinforced platoon led by Qiu Shengtao, commander of the Laoshan combat hero reconnaissance company, and immediately rushed to Qiu Shanyu

.

It has been two days since Chu Yu and Xiao Yao disappeared. The police from the county public security bureau who arrived first were still using the old sheepherder's method to explore the cave on foot. This was also the simplest and most direct method. However, the effect... was not good.

The complex structure of Zhongyuan Cave caused the police to use more than 2,000 meters of rescue ropes but failed to find a suitable path. Instead, they wound up in circles and almost couldn't get out.

When Qiu Shengtao arrived with soldiers from the reconnaissance company, three batches of police and militiamen who had entered the cave to find their way had already entered. However, they could only go around in circles, but two of them almost couldn't get out.

"Company Commander, the environment here has a strong magnetic field, and the compass doesn't work at all." A soldier first explored the cave and shook his head when he came out.

"What should we do?" Xu Zhijian, the county armed forces minister, asked worriedly.

"You can only use people to explore one by one! Make markers and maps." Qiu Shengtao also had a headache. This complex terrain is basically a maze. To navigate the maze, you can only use stupid methods, but the key is time.

Although the people outside the cave were eager to rescue, they could only use clumsy methods, but it was much easier for Xiao Yao who needed to consume so much energy that he was about to explode.

This method of "gazing at the sky with spiritual eyes" is actually based on the cultivator's own vitality to drive spiritual consciousness to penetrate the body.

This spiritual consciousness expands outwards with the "soul crystal" in Tianyuan as the center. In this case, it can penetrate the obstruction of any object. At this time, the caster is equivalent to opening the "Third Eye".

However, the energy required for the implementation of this method is very large, especially if materials such as hard rocks are to be penetrated with spiritual consciousness, the energy consumed is several times that required for ordinary remote viewing.

Fortunately, Xiao Yao now has not much else but a lot of vitality, so much that he is almost exhausted.

Xiao Yao saw Qiu Shengtao leading soldiers from the military reconnaissance company to explore the complicated and continuous forks in the cave. He also saw county and township leaders and some village cadres waiting anxiously at the entrance of the cave.

Xu Mantang was guarding the entrance of the cave, and beside him were Xu Kun, the old sheepherder and others.

Although the scouts led by Qiu Shengtao, with the cooperation of the police and militia, have explored a large area of ​​passages, they are only a small part of the entire Zhongyuan Cave.

Xiao Yao's spiritual exploration continued to expand the scope, with winding passages and forked roads... Finally, he saw a person huddled together in a very narrow corner.

Chu Yu!

Xiao Yao felt excited in his heart.

However, he soon discovered that Chu Yu's current situation was not good. She was in a deep cave that sloped downward, about twenty meters long. She must have slipped and slipped when she was halfway forward.

.

Now she was at the bottom of the deep cave. Seeing her motionless, Xiao Yao felt a little anxious.

He did not care about the impact that the remaining immortal energy in his body would have on his body, so he forcibly stopped the "Spiritual Eye Observation of the Sky" method and hurried to the place where Chu Yu's accident occurred.

The entrance to the cave was somewhat hidden and very narrow. Xiao Yao followed the entrance and climbed down like a gecko with his hands against the smooth cave wall.

Someone had searched this fork in the road just now, but these people did not discover this deep cave, but walked past it. If Xiao Yao hadn't discovered it, Chu Yu would have been in serious trouble.

When Xiao Yao landed at the bottom of the cave, his right foot felt soft.

"Well!" Chu Yu moaned, which not only reassured Xiao Yao but also startled him. He quickly took his feet back, but Chu Yu must have been in a coma, so even if she moaned,

He didn't realize that he had been stepped on.

It was very dark in the cave. If Xiao Yao hadn't practiced the Five Elements Refining Art and reached the "Visual Realm", it would have been impossible to see Yu's figure clearly.

He made a preliminary check and found that Chu Yu had slipped down, so there was no major damage to her body, just some minor scratches. The main reason for her current coma was probably hunger.
Chapter completed!
