Chapter 96: Regaining Hope (3)
After Mingwen entered the bottom of the water, although his eyesight was super strong and he was not affected by the darkness, after all, he was in the water, and he still couldn't see clearly in the air, but it didn't affect him much. He felt that the direction of the water was complicated, and the water below gushed out from several directions, and flowed towards the dark hole in several directions, and the amount of water flowing in many directions was also different. Suddenly, he felt that the tributaries in one direction were particularly cold, so he swam against this cold current for dozens of meters, and found that the waterway in front of him was frozen a lot, almost blocking the waterway, and it seemed that the ice beast was in front. But now the important thing is to find the way out, this ice beast can't run anyway, and when you find the other two magic medicines later, you can come here to remove the double horns on the ice beast's head. Thinking of this, he retreated back the way he came, and then swam along the largest tributary, and the underground hole made seven twists and turns, so that the waterway also twisted and turned. After swimming for a distance of more than 2,000 meters, a bright light suddenly appeared in the water in front of him, and he swam excitedly towards the bright light. When he surfaced, he saw that the mountain peaks on the west side of the canyon were being turned red by the sun, and he could finally return to the outside world with his beloved Lingmei. He was about to sneak back to the ice cave to tell Ji Xueling the news, but he heard a shout from behind: "Brother Ming, is it you?" He turned his head and saw that it was Su Xiaoxiao, Yi Jiyong and the others, and shouted: "Xiaoxiao, Assistant Yi, hello!"
Su Xiaoxiao saw that it was really Mingwen, and shouted excitedly: "Brother Ming, it's really you, great, I know that you don't die so easily, what about cousin?"
Mingwen said: "Lingmei is in the cave underground, and I am here to find a way out of the cave." ”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Does that underground cave have to go through this water to enter?"
Mingwen said: "Yes. ”
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly became anxious and said, "Is the distance under the water long, if it is too far, how can my cousin swim out!"
Yi Jiyong said: "Then let's get a few sets of underwater life-saving equipment." ”
Mingwen said: "Assistant Yi, then please find two sets of life-saving equipment." ”
Su Xiaoxiao saw that Mingwen asked Yi Jitong to find two sets of life-saving equipment, so he said: "Brother Ming, you don't need life-saving equipment at all, only your cousin needs it, why do you need to find two sets of equipment?"
Mingwen said: "In addition to Lingmei, there is another person in the cave. ”
Hearing that in addition to Ji Xueling in the underground cave, there was another person inside, Su Xiaoxiao, Yi Jiyong and the others were taken aback, and unconsciously asked in unison, "Who else is inside?"
Mingwen said: "It is Gong Jiagui, the former director of the Lezhou Municipal Health and Family Planning Bureau. ”
Su Xiaoxiao asked puzzledly: "Isn't Gong Jiagui the current director of the Health and Family Planning Bureau of Lezhou City, how did he become the original director, and how did he enter the underground cave?"
Mingwen said: "It's a long story, I'll tell you slowly after I bring Lingmei and him out of it." ”
Yi Jiyong said: "Officer Su, you and Liu Yuan stay here, and I, Zhang Wu, and Ren Zhong will go together to find underwater life-saving equipment." ”
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I contacted a classmate from the Baishui Public Security Bureau and asked him to find two sets of underwater life-saving equipment to send them. ”
Mingwen hurriedly stopped: "Don't alarm others, the news that Lingmei and I are alive needs to be kept secret for the time being, and see what those who want to kill us will do." ”
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Okay, Brother Liu Yuan and I will stay here and wait, Assistant Yi, then I will trouble a few of you." ”
Yi Jiyong said: "Brother Ming, you are our friend, Mr. Ning specially sent us to find you and Mr. Ji, it is right to do something for you, then we will go!" After speaking, he arched his hand to Mingwen, and then jumped up with Zhang Kaiwu and Ren Zhong, walked along the canyon, and soon disappeared between the jungles.
After Yi Jiyong and the others left, Mingwen said to Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Yuan: "I estimate that Assistant Yi and the others will not come back in at least two hours, then I will go back to the cave first, I don't feel at ease where Sister Ling is." After saying that, he dived underwater.
Knowing that Mingwen and Ji Xueling were still alive, Su Xiaoxiao was so happy. After Mingwen dived back to the bottom, she thought of Mingwen calling her cousin one by one just now, but she felt sour in her heart.
When Mingwen returned to the water of the ice cave, he found that the place where he had previously entered the water was frozen again, and at the bottom of the water not far ahead, the ice beast flashed two large lantern-shaped eyes, looking at him vigilantly. Mingwen smiled inwardly, it seemed that the big guy knew that he was gone, and returned to the vicinity of its lair. However, as long as it doesn't hurt Lingmei, let it be free for a little longer, and when the other two magic drugs are found, it will come to take the double horns on its head. Of course, as long as it doesn't resist extraordinarily, it won't kill itself.
When the ice beast saw that Mingwen had returned, it turned around and fled. Mingwen didn't chase after him, and struck out of the water with a palm, and the thick layer of ice cracked a hole. Then, climb up the hole and return to the ice.
When Ji Xueling saw Mingwen coming back, she didn't care that Mingwen was still wet and dripping with cold water, ran forward, hugged him tightly, and muttered: "Brother Wen, you are finally back, I feel that you have left me for a long, long time." ”
Mingwen said: "Silly girl, it seems that I haven't been away for a long time!"
Ji Xueling said: "It's been more than an hour, it's not long, I'm so worried about you." ”
Mingwen gently pushed Ji Xueling away and said, "Sister Ling, I have water all over me, don't get your clothes wet, you'll catch a cold." After speaking, he used his true qi, and in an instant, the water on his body dried up, and his current cultivation was no longer what it used to be.
Ji Xueling saw that the water on Mingwen's body was dry, so she asked, "Brother Wen, have you found your way out?"
Mingwen said: "Found it, this ice cave is connected to the Mustang River." ”
Gong Jiagui, who was still curled up on the ground because he was pointed out by the Ming text, heard that he had found a way out, and his eyes immediately lit up, but immediately dimmed again, and said to himself: "There is a way out, such a long waterway, if you go into the water, you will not be frozen to death, but you will also be drowned." ”
Mingwen ignored Gong Jiagui, and said to Ji Xueling: "Sister Ling, do you guess who I saw outside just now?"
Ji Xueling asked, "You won't see your cousin, will you?"
Mingwen said: "Sister Ling, you are so smart, I really met Xiaoxiao, she and Assistant Yi of Ningyuan Group are taking people to the Wild Horse River Canyon to find us." ”
Ji Xueling said, "Then can we go out now?"
Mingwen said: "I have to wait, Assistant Yi and they went to find the water life-saving equipment, it will take at least another two hours to come back, and I will go out and bring the life-saving equipment in two hours." ”
Hearing that there was life-saving equipment, Gong Jiazhui's spirit finally improved, and he curled up on the ground and smiled unconsciously.
