"Beth! Beth! Beth! What's wrong with you, Beth!"
Sarah and Runo heard Beth's screams, and knew that Beth might have had an accident, and immediately shouted anxiously.
"Don't worry, I'll go over and take a look first. You follow me and move slowly."
Xiao Xuan stopped Sarah and Ru Nuo who were about to drill into the cave and took the lead in getting into it. This cave is different from the cave we passed before. It is relatively spacious and allows people to bend over and walk without crawling inside. So Xiao Xuan was very fast. When he turned a corner, he immediately saw a ray of sunlight shining here. However, Xiao Xuan's mentality is much more stable than Beth. Combined with the screams that Beth made before, Xiao Xuan's vigilance had long been improved, and he moved gently toward the light.
Gradually, a look of enlightenment appeared on Xiao Xuan's face. It turned out that it was not sunlight, but the light emitted by the special rocks in the cave was reflected by the water, reflecting on the rock wall, making it look like the entrance of the cave from a distance. Just a little bit ahead, there was a pit like a deep well. The impact of the flowing water near the pit was very smooth. When a person stepped on it, he could easily slide down directly.
Xiao Xuan shone down with a flashlight. Sure enough, he saw Beth falling down. Beth's legs were covered with blood, and bone spurs could be vaguely exposed. Moreover, there was a certain amount of water under the pit, and groundwater was constantly spraying down. So even if Beth was still alive and did not fall to death, she could not open her mouth and shout.
"Xiao Xuan, how about Beth? Where is she?" At this time, Sarah and Ru Nuo also came in and asked hurriedly when they saw Xiao Xuan standing in front of them.
"She fell down, prepare the rope, I'll go down to save her!"
Xiao Xuan actually didn't plan to save Beth, but he knew that Sarah and Ru Nuo could not let Beth go, so instead of letting them go down and rescue the guy who had broken legs, it would be better to let himself go down first and find an opportunity to deal with her directly. Xiao Xuan knew that he would be attacked by the ogre in the near future. At this time, he was unwilling to bring a burden to his side.
"Okay, Xuan, give it to the rope." Sarah hurriedly handed the rope to Xiao Xuan. Then, she looked under the pit with great worry. However, because of the magician's physique, Xiao Xuan's perception is much stronger than Sarah, so he could sense that Beth was still alive, but Sarah did not have the ability. She was still worried that Beth was dead or alive at this time.
After tied the rope, Xiao Xuan handed the other end of the rope to Ru Nuo and Sarah. Su Muran also silently grabbed the rope in his hand. Then, Xiao Xuan began to crawl down the pit.
Groundwater poured in from above the pit, so the rock wall was very slippery, so Xiao Xuan was extremely careful when he went down. It was only a height of about ten meters. It took Xiao Xuan nearly ten minutes to really climb down. His feet were on the bottom of the pit, and the accumulated water filled his knees. However, there should be other drainage gaps at the bottom of the pit, so even if water was constantly poured on it, the water level would not rise.
"Xuan..." Beth opened his mouth and wanted to call Xiao Xuan's name, but he was filled with a big mouthful of water, and his expression seemed very painful. Xiao Xuan took the flashlight to check Beth's condition and found that the bones on Beth's knee had fallen out, and a bone spur directly pierced his skin. This was almost an extremely serious fracture. At this time, if she was taken up, it would be a burden to the team.
"Relax, I'll save you." Xiao Xuan squatted down and hugged Beth, trying to help Beth up. Beth subconsciously thrust his waist to cooperate with Xiao Xuan's movements. However, the next moment, Xiao Xuan grabbed Beth's neck with both hands and twisted it hard to the left!
"Click!"
A crisp sound of bones came out, and Beth's head turned 180 degrees and died instantly. There was still a look of shock on her face, because she never thought that why Xiao Xuan, the best friend in her memory, would suddenly kill him at this time.
After solving Beth's solution, Xiao Xuan tied the rope directly to Beth's body, extinguished it with a flashlight above the pit and lit it three times, indicating that the rope was started to be pulled upwards and pulled the person up.
Beth's body was slowly lifted up, and if Xiao Xuan wanted to go up, he had to wait until the rope was put down, so he could use a flashlight to look at the hole in leisure, and what he paid special attention to was the direction of the water flowing out.
Sure enough, there was a very large gap next to the pit. Xiao Xuan squatted down and measured it with his hands. The gap was probably just enough for a person to drill in sideways, but it was full of water. If he drilled in from here, he had to hold his breath. And no one knew how long it would take to float up the gap after drilling in. If he drilled in and found that there was an almost sealed "reservoir", he might just drown his person in it. However, if the situation was really critical to a certain extent, he might try it at that time. However, this was really a kind of gambling, a gambling for his own life.
Beth's body was pulled up, and then there was a crying sound from it. Of course, Sarah and Runo would not have thought that Beth had just broken his leg and would not have died. The person who actually killed Beth was their friend - Xiao Xuan. They only thought Beth had fallen to death.
The rope was quickly put down. Xiao Xuan tied the rope back to his waist, and used the pulling force of the person above to use his hands and feet, and quickly climbed up again.
"Let her body be put here first. We will go out first, and then hire someone to come and transport the body out for burial." Xiao Xuan patted Sarah's shoulder and comforted him.
"That's all, Sarah, let's go quickly and get out quickly." Ru Nuo said, wiped away her tears.
Sarah took a deep breath and nodded. Since she was dead, she was no longer obsessed. The most important thing was to go out first.
Everyone calmed down and continued on the road, avoided the pit, and continued to move along the cave.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he suddenly became clear in front of him, and the space suddenly became much bigger, and Xiao Xuan's brows were also deeply squeezing together at this time because he smelled a strong smell of blood.
"Ru Nuo, throw a fireworks stick!" Xiao Xuan said in a tone that was similar to an order.
Ru Nuo was stunned for a moment, but he still obediently pulled the fireworks stick and threw it over. For a moment, the space of the rock layer was illuminated, and everyone saw clearly that in front of him, there was a pile of white bones, including animal bones and obvious human bones. The scene was extremely gloomy and terrifying.
At this moment, the fireworks seemed to stimulate the ogres. The ogres who had been secretly following him finally began to prepare for attack. Ogres began to climb and appear on the rock walls, and some were confronting Xiao Xuan and others far away on the ground;
"Ah, what the hell is this!" Sarah screamed. Obviously, she never expected that this kind of creature would appear underground in this rock formation.
The ogres look really ugly. Their skin is gray, with hideous faces and sunken eye sockets, which looks a bit similar to the "Gulugulu" in "The Hobbit".
"Be careful, let's rush over!" Xiao Xuan protected Sarah and said firmly.
"What, are you crazy?" Ru Nuo couldn't help but exclaim.
"How can I go out if I don't rush over?" Xiao Xuan roared angrily. At this moment, he no longer had the gentleness and scholarly aura he had before, because at this moment, when he was really desperate, Xiao Xuan had not seen the real god yet, so he didn't want to die!
The ogres also officially launched an attack at this time. They put them from the rock wall and rushed over together on the ground. The gun in Xiao Xuan's hand finally rang at this time. Xiao Xuan's gun technique was very accurate. He fired seven shots in a row and hit seven ogres directly. Some were killed directly, and some were injured and rolling on the ground. On the other side, Su Muran also fired with a gun. Her gun technique did not have to be bad at all. Several ogres who were trying to pounce on were directly killed.
"You... why did you bring guns?" Sarah said in surprise.
"Now is not the time to ask about this. We use our guns to open the way. Let's rush through here together!"
Xiao Xuan pushed Sarah, and Sarah then woke up and started running forward with Ru Nuo. Xiao Xuan followed closely while shooting, and the same was true for Su Muran. At this moment, Xiao Xuan and Su Muran reached a nearly perfect tacit understanding. Each of them was responsible for cleaning up the alarm in one direction. The two cooperated with the division of labor, without blind spots. Any ogre that attempted to rush over was shot dead by one of the two.
Everyone rushed through this open area and entered a slightly narrow corridor, which made the ogre attack range smaller and the pressure on Xiao Xuan and Su Muran decreased a little.
"I have no bullets." Su Muran said.
"For you." Xiao Xuan took out two magazines from the space ring and threw them to Su Muran. Su Muran replaced the bullets in an extremely quick and professional manner and re-entered the alert state. After everyone entered this corridor, the ogres who were trying to come and attack suddenly decreased.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Xuan asked Sarah.
"I'm fine, where is the exit? Keep running there?"
"There is no choice but to run over there." Xiao Xuan nodded and replied.
"Xiao Xuan!" At this time, Ru Nuo suddenly shouted Xiao Xuan's name loudly.
"What's wrong?"
"I feel that the ground under my feet is a little soft..."
Hearing this, everyone looked at their feet, and then they found that the position where they stood had begun to twist and wriggle. Then, as if the ground was suddenly sunken, the ground under their feet suddenly turned into a swamp, and everyone fell down together.
This is not a swamp, this is the blood pool that has already solidified!
