The entrance to the cave was exactly the same as when I was snooping around before, which made me slightly relieved. This was considered a successful first step.
Below the entrance of the cave, the darkness was bottomless, like a giant python that was swallowing the sky, opening its mouth and trying to swallow me in.
I stretched out my hand and felt it carefully. There was a faint breeze flowing out from under my palm.
My face suddenly became happy!
There is wind, which means that this is a place where the wind circulates in the mountains, a place where Qi is present in the belly of the earth. If there is wind, there will be oxygen. At least people will not be suffocated to death in it.
"Huzi, please don't let anything happen to you!"
I tightly held the little remaining golden pollen I took from the fat man, feeling more nervous than ever before.
After all, in the previous scene, Huzi fell headfirst, which was also the main reason for his death.
Likewise, this is the situation I am most afraid of encountering in this rescue center.
Because this is the beginning.
And the beginning often foreshadows the outcome.
If it really merges with the picture of heaven at the beginning, then I will face the death of my friends one after another, I have no doubt about this.
But no matter what, what is going to happen needs to be faced after all.
"call…"
"Ancestors of the Zhang family, please protect me!"
While I was talking, I had fixed the rope to the small tree next to me, and threw the hundred-meter-long rope down. In order to cover up the traces, I covered the exposed rope with soil.
Then I tied the knot and grabbed the moving pulley.
Before jumping down, something bad finally happened.
The visual connection between me and the Gu insect was interrupted.
Before Fatty and the others entered the underground tunnel, I had already sent the little guy down to inquire about the situation inside the mountain and kept in touch with me.
So I have been paying attention to the situation over there in my mind, but now it suddenly stopped. I don’t know if there was some unexpected situation, or if it was because of the mountain that blocked the connection between us.
But no matter which situation it was, it was not a good thing for me, which made me lose my observation of Fatty and Long Buhui.
Now I can only place my hope on Fatty. If anything happens, I hope Fatty can handle it.
I can only pray like this!
Sighing, I jumped into the darkness without hesitation.
Because the pulley can control the speed, my descending speed is not very fast. I can stop at any time while keeping my eyes fixed on the bottom, observing the distance from the ground.
With my current eyesight, I can't use a flashlight to shine, which brings me great convenience.
As I continued to go downwards, I discovered that the passage was not vertically downward, but had some twists and turns, and some places could even block my sight.
In other words, if something falls vertically, it will hit these places first to buffer the gravity, instead of falling all the way to the bottom.
This is a good thing, because it will increase the chance of the tiger alive. If it really falls vertically, then the tiger will definitely die. Even if it falls at the current height, the tiger will definitely be thrown.
Turn into mud.
I counted clearly. When I passed a total of 6 twists and turns, large and small, I finally saw the ground below, about ten meters away from me.
Seeing this distance, I was both surprised and worried.
This is a dangerous and safe distance, because at this height, there is a high probability that someone will fall to death, and there is also a high probability that someone will survive. First, look at luck, and second, look at the material. Is the ground earth or stone?
Before landing, I had already started searching below, but I didn't see Huzi or anyone else.
With a soft popping sound, the soles of my shoes finally touched the ground. As soon as they made contact, my heart suddenly sank, because the touch under my feet told me that my feet were actually stones, and a large area was made of stones.
Damn...
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, so I quickly loosened the rope around my body and began to look at the environment for four weeks.
I can't say it's exactly the same as what I spied before, but it's at least 70-80% similar.
Although I have good eyesight, I quickly turned on the flashlight. After all, although I can see at night, it is not as clear as the strong light.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, I quickly discovered a white reflection.
It was a puddle not far away.
I walked over quickly, and sure enough I found an obvious blood stain next to it, which made my heart sink a little again.
Could it be that Hu Zi...
Although I forced myself to calm down, my hands still trembled uncontrollably.
At this moment, I was really scared, extremely scared!
Squatting down, the light of the flashlight focused on the blood here.
The bright red blood had dried up and turned dark purple, obviously it had been drying for a long time.
"Huzi..."
I muttered to myself and turned pale.
I stretched out my right hand tremblingly, and gently scraped my fingers through the dried blood, and the nails turned black.
Um?
I suddenly remembered something, something very important.
I remember that in the scene I spied before, there was hair in the blood, so I was sure that the tiger fell headfirst.
However, there seemed to be no hair in the pool of blood in front of me.
I immediately became energetic.
Although this is a small difference, the results may be very different.
I quickly scraped my fingernails into the blood, carefully examining every bit and centimeter.
Fortunately, even after I checked all the blood, I didn't find even a hair in it.
My eyes lit up, and my heart that had just sunk suddenly became excited.
finally……
1st……
There was something different when I discovered it for the first time and when I peeked into the way of heaven.
And it's in such detail, in such an important place.
The beginning foreshadows the outcome!
Although this cannot prove anything accurately, it implies great hope for me.
Because this may prove one thing, the tiger does not necessarily fall headfirst.
I exhaled heavily, quickly stood up from the ground, and shined the flashlight in one of the directions, which was the direction where everyone died.
Although I wanted to call out "Hu Zi", I didn't.
Because I know that the black lion is probably also in this mountain, and I'm afraid that if my voice is too loud, our whereabouts will be exposed, although I also don't know if it has discovered us.
A few dozen meters ahead was a corner, which was where I first discovered Huzi. With his legs stretched out, I sat there quietly, not breathing.
This is the corner of death.
So you can imagine how nervous I felt at this moment.
Finally, with my nervous and worried eyes, I finally turned around.
Then…
I saw those feet.
As my eyes moved with difficulty, I finally saw Huzi's familiar figure.
