"I guess it worked. Li Qing leaned against the stone wall, took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and immediately prayed to the sky. However, it is a pity that although Li Qing's operation caused a lot of trouble to Zhao Qili and his party, it still failed overall. There are many people who are cramming for the sake of life, and they often fail to achieve their wishes.

Li Qing rested on the spot for a while, wiped the blood on his face with his clothes, and then reached out and pressed it under his ribs, his brows immediately frowned, and he took a breath of cold air. Under his ribs, there was a bullet puncture wound, but fortunately it only hurt the flesh and did not implicate the internal organs.

Under the circumstances just now, Li Qingcai suffered such a small injury, which was already excellent luck, but he still didn't seem to be satisfied, with a cold face, and he kept thinking about bad ideas in his heart.

Ram could rush over from behind at any time, so Li Qing didn't dare to stop for too long. After resting for more than twenty minutes, he set off again towards the location of the underground river, but after more than ten minutes of going around in the criss-crossing stone paths, Li Qing had to admit that he was lost.

"It's really bloody, I have two maps on my back, but I can't use them at all. Li Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly, only now did he really realize that the two patterns that Gu Zhou left on him were really just decorations.

"The underground river is near here, and if you can hear the water, you can quickly find your way. Li Qing thought silently in his heart, constantly circling in the stone road, time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, a full hour had passed without a clue, and the whole person gradually became irritable.

Li Qing didn't have much time to go around in circles here, and if he was really trapped in the stone path for a day or two, there might be some chaos outside.

"Damn. Li Qing scolded hatefully, his body groped forward in the dark stone path, his feet slipped suddenly, his body stumbled, and he almost fell to the ground.

Li Qing squatted down and touched his feet, and the ground was wet.

"There is water?" Li Qing was slightly stunned, and hurriedly took out a lighter from his pocket to look at it, and sure enough, there was a thin layer of water stains under his feet and on the surrounding stone walls.

If the rock wall here seeps water, it means that there must be groundwater nearby, doesn't this mean that the underground river is nearby?

Thinking of this, Li Qing's heart flushed with joy, and he carefully stepped on the wet ground, trying to speed up and walk forward.

The further you went, the water seepage on the stone wall became more and more serious, and later there was even a "tick-tock" sound of falling water, and the water on the ground gradually deepened, almost reaching the ankles.

"How do I feel like I'm gradually going down?" Li Qing frowned and muttered, and his heart began to be uncertain again, walking down this seeping stone path, can he really find the underground river?

The lighter had been burning for too long, and it had already begun to get hot, so Li Qing had no choice but to turn it off temporarily and move forward in the dark. The dark night seemed to swallow him up, and anyone who was in such an environment and experienced that deep loneliness would make his nerves extremely sensitive.

There was a slight sound of water in his ears, and Li Qing listened carefully for a while before finally determining that it was not the sound under his feet.

Li Qing suddenly stopped, his eyes slightly condensed, staring at the darkness in front of him.

"Who are you?" Li Qing's voice opened with difficulty, "I can feel you." ”

A hand slowly touched his pocket, Li Qing took out the lighter again, and suddenly lit the lighter, only to see a black shadow flashing more than ten meters away from him, turning into a narrow stone path in front of him.

"Stop!" Li Qing shouted loudly and followed closely behind. The two of them walked through the criss-crossing underground passages one after the other, and the speed was extremely fast, and the sound of wading in the water was mixed with the sound of the wind brought by the rapid movement of the body, and it rang in the ears non-stop.

Li Qing had tried his best, but he was stunned to find that he had always kept a distance from the other party, and there had never been the slightest change.

"What is the origin of this guy?" Li Qing could only judge the direction by the sound of footsteps, and after following the other party for a few turns, he suddenly heard a bang, which seemed to be the sound of paddling, and before he could react, he slammed into the stone wall.

"Ahh Li Qing screamed miserably and sat on the ground. He only felt that the sky was spinning, and two warm currents rushed out of his nose.

Raising his hand and groping in front of him, Li Qing was speechless for a while. It turned out that there was a hole under this stone wall that only allowed one person to kneel and climb into, and the sound of the stroke just now was caused by the other party leaning into the hole, but he didn't know about it, and kept chasing at a high speed in the rear, and finally hit his head on the stone.

In this dark underground world, suddenly a man appeared, who was not only agile, but also extremely familiar with the terrain. No one needs to remind him, Li Qing also knows his value.

After settling down, Li Qing raised his hand and smashed the stone wall fiercely: "Friend, I have no malicious intentions, can the two of us talk?"

After waiting for a while, there was no movement in response.

Li Qing smashed the stone wall again: "I'm going over, don't worry, I have absolutely no malice." ”

The words fell, and Li Qing leaned over and got into the hole.

The thickness of this stone wall is about one meter, and Li Qing drilled to the opposite side, and the space seemed to have expanded a lot. He dug into his pocket, pulled out the lighter again, and pressed it twice before he finally hit it.

No sooner had the light come up than a dark shadow suddenly fell above him. Fortunately, Li Qing had already been prepared, and hurriedly rolled out sideways, bringing a series of splashes along the way, and the fire engine in his hand was soaked in too much water and extinguished again.

Li Qing got up with a bone, stretched out a hand and waved: "Slow! I just want to ask you a few questions, there is no evil..."

Before he finished his words, the other party rushed over again and swept Li Qing's head with a leg blow.

"Okay, since you don't give me a chance, don't blame me for being polite!" Li Qing gritted his teeth with hatred, and had already made up his mind in his heart, first give the other party a little color to see. He shrunk his neck to dodge the leg strike, and then spun around and stretched out his leg to trip the other man into the water.

But Li Qing didn't expect it anyway, the other party seemed to have expected him to have this move, and his whole body suddenly rose in the air, jumping up in an extremely weird twisted arc, and his knee happened to press on Li Qing's shoulder.

There was a crisp click, and just that, one of Li Qing's arms was dislocated.

"Ahh Li Qing screamed in pain, he really hadn't had this experience of being pressed and beaten for many years.

In the dark, after unloading one of Li Qing's arms, the man rode directly on his neck, and then clamped his legs tightly, as if intending to strangle Li Qing to death.

His face turned red, Li Qing raised his hand and grabbed the other party's two calves, his body fell backwards, and the person riding on his neck smashed into the water half a foot deep.

Li Qing heard the other party let out a muffled snort under the heavy blow, and his voice was a little hoarse, as if he was very old. At this moment, he still grabbed the other party's calf and didn't let go, turned around suddenly, and was about to get up from the ground, when the other party suddenly stretched out a thin palm, and his long nails cut at Li Qing's eyes.

In desperation, Li Qing had to let go of one hand to protect his eyes, and the other party took advantage of this opportunity to kick the top of Li Qing's head with the free foot, kicking him out five or six meters away, and falling the stone wall.

The force of this kick was too great, Li Qing only felt that his brain was dizzy, and all kinds of colors flashed in front of him like a kaleidoscope, and suddenly all of them converged together, condensing into a pitch black.

Clenching his fists tightly, Li Qing suddenly realized that he was still holding something in his hand, which was one of the other party's legs.

Just now, when he was suddenly hit by a critical blow, Li Qing's hand did not let go, and he forcibly ripped off the opponent's calf.

"A prosthetic leg?" The thought slowly rose in Li Qing's heart, making him suddenly seem to understand something, and it was difficult to even open his mouth if he wanted to speak. Until he received another blow to the side of the head, his hand was loosened, and the whole person was completely unconscious.

"Some growth..."A hoarse and cold voice slowly sounded in the dark underground space, and then the dry palm reached into the water beside Li Qing and grabbed the prosthetic leg.

After a rustling sound, the withered branch-like palm grabbed Li Qing's ankle again, allowing his body to bump on the potholed stone surface, dragging him all the way forward.

Li Qing felt like he had a long dream. In the dream, he was sitting in a bumpy car, not knowing where it was going. Intense sunlight shone in through the car window, burning on the cheeks. Xie Yuyan, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head and smiled at him, as if his smile was about to melt into the dazzling sunlight. Suddenly, that smiling face turned into Gu Yue again, the corners of her lips rose, and she smiled bewitchingly.

Li Qing stretched out his hand and touched the other party's smooth and fair cheeks, but what his fingers touched was an aging cheek full of wrinkles and vicissitudes. He blinked effortlessly, and saw only a thin old man smiling at him, with gray hair, blood-red eyes, a grin showing crooked teeth, and a gray goatee under his chin. Li Qing screamed, desperately moving his body backwards, wanting to get farther away from the old man, farther away. However, the other party suddenly stretched out a dry palm covered with age spots, grabbed Li Qing's collar and pulled it forward.

Li Qing leaned forward and plunged headlong into the abyss. He seemed to be bursting all over his body, the pain was excruciating, and he screamed desperately, but to no avail.
