Chapter 721: Crypt Survival

They say fire and water have no mercy.

A slightly larger flood can cause great losses to everyone.

As for the destructive power of the flood peak, it is more than 10 times more powerful than the subsequent flood.

Luo Xuan and Li Xue were ups and downs in the wind and waves, tumbling endlessly.

Because the flood peak contains a large amount of sediment and debris, and these things are constantly rolling up and down due to the influence of eddy currents.

Luo Xuan and Li Xue, who were tightly tied together by ropes, were stacked on top of each other. For a while, Luo Xuan was on top and Li Xue was on the bottom.

As the waves rolled, the two of them immediately fell apart again: Li Xue on top and Luo Xuan on the bottom.

Such constant rolling caused the two of them to take turns drinking a large amount of flood water.

It made the two of them dizzy, their bodies were constantly turbulent, and they couldn't stop vomiting.

The flood water was turbid, with a large amount of sediment and debris, as well as the remains of many drowned animals.

The pungent smell of mud, blood, and flood water made Li Xue and Luo Xuan choke. Their noses and tears flowed together, and vomit and blood foam flowed together.

The two of them floated up and down in the rolling torrent and suffered all kinds of torture.

Finally, at a ravine about 30 miles downstream from the Shilipu production team, it began to part ways with the roaring main stream of the Wuding River.

In the low-lying part of this ravine.

Members of the local production team, in order to prevent spring floods from rushing into the ravine and destroying the land there.

Therefore, these members of the Shilipu Commune in "Suide County" built a simple earth dam early on at the edge of the ravine near the Wuding River.

But this sand and earth dam can withstand the floods in previous years when the water level was not too high and the flow rate was not particularly fast.

But this year's spring floods are not only heavy and fierce, but the water level is also unusually high.

Under the impact of one wave after another, wait until the wave that carries Luo Xuan arrives.

This earthen dam finally could not withstand the rolling floods, and was washed away one after another.

"Rumble--"

The originally huge flood, coupled with the loud noise caused by the collapse of the earth dam, suddenly filled the entire world.

The power of sound waves is amazing!

Especially in floods, the lethality of sound waves is infinitely amplified, and in an instant, Luo Xuan, who can still maintain a trace of sanity, is shocked and faints.

At this time, Li Xue had already been choked by the turbid flood water and fell into a coma, with no information about her personnel.

I don't know how long it took.

When Luo Xuan Youyou woke up, he found that he had been washed away by the flood into a huge cellar located in a ravine and washed out alive by the flood.

This cellar is very high, about 15.6 feet.

The overall shape is a clay pot with a small mouth and a large belly.

With a structure like this, it is indeed extremely difficult for people trapped inside to escape.

In the cellar, there was the sound of water.

A turbid and yellowish flood continued to flow down from above, bringing bursts of loud "rumbling" sounds and countless splashes of water.

It's just that these water mist and water splashes have no beauty at all.

Just because the water flow contains a high amount of sediment, the splashing water droplets that fall on people's bodies are full of stains and scale.

Luo Xuan shook his head and tried to wake up a little bit.

"Wow--"

It was okay not to move, but when Luo Xuan moved a little, his already groggy and dizzy head suddenly became even more dizzy.

The smell of turbid sewage in the stomach is really uncontrollable in one's throat.

Just hearing a "wow" sound, a large stream of indescribable sewage in Luo Xuan's mouth suddenly turned into a column of water that was fishier and filthy than the flood, and suddenly spewed out.

Wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, Luo Xuan vomited a few more times, and finally managed to stabilize his mind and began to focus his eyes hard to observe his current situation.

He has now fallen into a huge earth and stone cave. It may be unrealistic to escape in the short term.

The rope tied around his waist made Luo Xuan's thinking a little clearer.

Turning around and looking under her body, she saw that Li Xue was so dirty that it was almost impossible to recognize her true appearance in the thick, yet soft mud because it was full of water. She was so deep in it.

It turned out that it was just now when the two of them were rushed into this cave by a huge flood.

Because the two were tied together on a rope, Li Xue and Luo Xuan changed their positions with each other in the turbid flood, and fell from the top of the cave.

When the two people finally crashed into the mud, they smashed deeply into the cave in a posture with Li Xue at the bottom and Luo Xuan at the top.

At the peak of the flood, the earth dam collapsed and initially overflowed into this gully.

In fact, there was no such crypt at that time.

But underneath the thick soil on the high loess slopes, there are countless coal layers and rock layers formed in the Jurassic, as well as some rare earth, magnesium ore, and salt mines.

Therefore, some holes will be formed under some loess soil.

In previous years, due to the lack of water in Saibei, these cavities hidden under the thick loess were not exposed.

After this rare flood washed away the retaining wall beside the gully.

This cave collapsed suddenly under the erosion and penetration of the waves, swallowing up the dead trees next to it.

At the same time, Luo Xuan and Li Xue were also swallowed up by the flood.

Fortunately, in the early days when the floods washed out the cave, the cave was far from as big and deep as it is now.

This made Luo Xuan and Li Xue lucky enough to save half their lives.

Most people in Saibei live in very concentrated areas.

This underground cave was far away from the village where the production team members gathered. How could Luo Xuan, who was dizzy and his internal organs were churning, dare to waste his energy calling for help?

Turning around and bending down, Luo Xuan pulled the unconscious Li Xue hard, but found that he couldn't pull her down in the mud at all.

Looking up at the top of the crumbling cave, I saw the huge piece of loess with cracks already appearing.

Luo Xuan was worried that the soil would collapse again and he might have to move Li Xue to a higher place quickly.

But with the little remaining strength I have, I can never pull Li Xue away.

In desperation, Luo Xuan could only forcefully mobilize his thoughts and use his powerful mental power to finally pull Li Xue out of the mud!

"puff--"

Unexpected!

His body was weak, his organs were damaged, and now he was exerting force. Luo Xuan felt like the world was spinning, and he felt strong urges to vomit.

His throat could no longer suppress the blood, and with a pop, a large mouthful of blood splattered everywhere from Luo's mouth!

With the help of the weak light, Luo Xuan could clearly see that Li Xue, who was covered in yellow, had his own blood sprayed all over his head and face.

Just like the blooming red plums, it’s shocking to see

"Well--"

Li Xue let out a painful and weak moan, and her fingertips moved slightly.

But she still seemed to be in a coma and had not woken up.

After pulling Li Xue out of the mud, Luo Xuan had not yet taken a breath.

I only heard another burst of strange noises coming from above the cave, "rumbling--".

I don’t know if the loess at the top of the cave is about to collapse, or if the second wave of flood peaks has passed the collapsed earth dam and surged towards the cave again?

"Rumble--"

The sound is getting louder and closer.

Luo Xuan ignored the pain of his blurred vision and splitting headache, and quickly picked up Li Xue and moved to the top of the slope formed by the mud.

Unfortunately.

Once this kind of loess is soaked for a long time, it will turn into something similar to molten asphalt. Once you fall into it, it will be difficult to move forward.

The situation was urgent, and Luo Xuan could no longer care about anything, so he quickly used his thoughts again and ran desperately to the mound of mud!

Fortunately, my mental power used to be as high as 1,000 kilograms.

Although my body is weak now, my will is also damaged, so that my mental power can only maintain 1/3 of what it was before.

But at least with the blessing of that powerful will power, Luo Xuan carried the limp Li Xue on his back, and after many twists and turns, he finally got rid of the constraints of the mud trap.

Afterwards, the two came to the mud pile and under the sandstone wall of the cave.

Because we were worried that the top of the cave would collapse, and we were afraid that the second wave of floods would continue to pour into the cave, we could not stay here longer and had to evacuate to higher ground quickly.

Luo Xuan gritted his teeth and used all his strength to climb up the gravel wall.

In the middle of the cave, above the wall made of sand and stone, there is a naturally formed cavity.

According to Luo Xuan's plan: if he could crawl into the hole as soon as possible, he would be safe for the time being.

Unfortunately, the hole in mid-air seemed very close.

But actually it’s not easy to climb up!

The gravel trapped in the loess is far less stable than the stones in the caves in Bashu.

While Luo Xuan climbed up with all his strength, he had to carefully test whether each relay stone was stable and whether it could bear the weight of himself and Li Xue.

"Crash-"

During the climb, a lot of gravel fell down and fell into the bottom of the deep cave.

This feeling and this scene,

Luo Xuan was so frightened that he became even more cautious. Every time he climbed up a foot, he had to be extremely cautious and did not dare to be careless at all.

The higher he climbed, the more difficult it became. Even though Luo Xuan risked his life and desperately used his mind power to help him climb, it became more and more difficult.

At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker.

There were yellow mud spots all over Luo Xuan's body, which had dried and become wet with sweat.

When the slightly larger platform hovering in mid-air, he stopped to rest his breath.

The huge heat radiated from his body will dry out the wet mud.

Gritting his teeth, Luo Xuan took a short rest and continued to climb up with all his strength.

after a long time

finally!

Luo Xuan climbed to the bottom of the cave, only one foot away from the cave entrance, and found out to his surprise: there was a slight bulge in front of the cave entrance!

Previously, I stood at the bottom of the cave and looked up, because there were many rocks and mounds of earth in front of me that protruded from the cliff.

This makes it impossible to see clearly the little protruding part in front of the cave when standing underneath!

This is similar to the one in front of the cave, a very small platform. It would not be a problem if it were replaced normally.

Even if a kite turns over, I'm afraid I can easily get over it.

But the problem is: now that I am carrying the unconscious Li Xue on my back, I am completely exhausted, and I am so tired that I am sweating profusely.

Moreover, there are no good places around the cave that can be used to borrow strength!

Now, we are in big trouble

It is impossible to go around, and it is impossible to go back.

Luo Xuan looked at the surrounding landscape and saw that there was really no way to retreat.

Gritting his teeth, Luo Xuan mustered up the last bit of his willpower and desperately used his remaining willpower to make Li Xuesheng fly into the air on his back and throw her directly into the cave above!

"call--"

Listening to the sound of Li Xue landing safely in his ears, Luo Xuan suddenly felt that not only his shoulders felt relaxed.

Moreover, my spirit suddenly became exhausted, as if a taut rubber band had suddenly broken.

The dim scenery in front of me turned into phantoms. I felt dizzy and my hands and feet were cold.

This can't go on like this!

While he was still a little awake, Luo Xuan secretly warned himself: He must go up quickly! Otherwise, sooner or later, he will fall into the abyss due to exhaustion of physical strength!

With a little force of thought, Luo Xuan suddenly rose into the sky.

At this time, Luo Xuan no longer relied on the cliff for strength with his hands and feet. He relied purely on his own thoughts and his body leaped upwards like a roc spreading its wings.

He instantly landed on the stone platform in front of the cave.

When he got his feet on the ground, Luo Xuan felt that his head was in a daze, as if his mind was filled with heavy lead water, and his chest was filled with blood.

"puff--"

A large mouthful of blood that could not be suppressed finally broke away from the restraint of the throat and spurted out with a "pop" sound.

Reaching out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, Luo Xuan bent down to help Li Xue up and dragged her into the depths of the cave with difficulty.

After placing Li Xue away, Luo Xuan once again mobilized his mind and entered the space in his mind.

in space,

The "Qin Ziyu" suspended at the top of the space has now become dim, flickering like a star that is about to be drowned by the rising sun.

It seems that this Taoist holy object is about to reach the point where its oil is exhausted and its energy is exhausted.

Regarding Qin Ziyu's changes, Luo Xuan could only watch it become what it is now, but there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, the healing effect in the space was not affected much.

Luo Xuan lay down by the spring water and drank several large gulps of the spring water, which smoothed the surging blood in his body.

Considering that outside the space, Li Xue is still unconscious.

Luo Xuan didn't care to stay any longer. After his body felt a little more comfortable, Luo Xuan quickly used the wooden bucket in the space to fetch a bucket of water and went out.

Then he returned to the space, took out some grain, mushrooms, and killed a chicken. Then he walked out of the space holding a large bundle of straw.

At this time, Li Xue was still paralyzed on the ground.

He saw that her body was dirty, covered with yellow mud, and there were spots on her body that she had sprayed on Li Xue earlier.

Luo Xuan had no choice but to step forward, reach out and take off her clothes, and then wipe Li Xue clean bit by bit with spring water.

Li Xue is naturally beautiful, especially her long eyelashes, small and straight bridge of nose, and extremely sexy lips. When Luo Xuan wiped her body, she couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart.

Wait until you finish wiping Li Xue's face.

Next, it’s time to restore the original color of your date cores.

"OK."

Maybe Luo Xuan wiped it too carefully, but Li Xue, who was half lying on the straw, let out a low murmur.

I saw her long eyelashes moving slightly, but the light was dim at this time, and Luo Xuan's eyes were already stuck in the grass, and they didn't notice these subtle changes in Li Xue's body at all.

Wipe down the surface.

The ravines were also filled with yellow mud carried by the turbid floodwaters.

Luo Xuan had to cheer up and carefully wipe her clean bit by bit.

After finishing all this, Luo Xuan slowly put down Li Xue, then hurriedly turned around to light a fire to cook and prepare for tonight's meal.

And behind Luo Xuan's busy figure.

Li Xue, who had been pretending to be unconscious, slowly opened his eyes at this moment and looked at Luo Xuan with a complicated expression in the dim firelight.
