Chapter 39: The Secret Path

Lin Yi's trembling right foot stepped on the relatively flat edge of a stalactite, tilted his head and lay his whole body on the stone, like a toad.

A pair of Danfeng eyes scanned back and forth at the section of the high wall, looking for the location of the landing point that could be climbed up, and the afterglow skimmed to the irregular small platform formed by a large stone in the direction of his left, stretched out his left hand to grasp the rough and uneven stone rock, and then stretched out his right hand to pick it up on the other side.

Slowly lifting his right foot, he wanted to push the tip of his shoe against a protruding rock, but before he could use any force to step on it, his whole body suddenly slid down and fell back to the ground again.

Lin Yili stood up, fortunately the height was less than two meters, otherwise he would have fallen into a meatloaf. Kneading the two pieces of flesh that had been bruised behind him, he couldn't remember how many times he had fallen.

Looking up at the entrance of the cave that was close at hand, "It seems that I have to give up this idea," Lin Yi muttered with a sigh.

I've tried all the places in it, but there is no stone rock to climb on, and the walls are extremely smooth because of the damp environment all year round, which is also a headache for me.

"Looks like we're going to go back over there. Lin Yi turned around, looked at the hole he came out of not long ago, and decided to go back along the road to find a way out, but on the way to the passage, he still leaned his body against the corner in the dark, for fear that another Fish Beast would appear on the way, and he would be in trouble if he ran into it.

"A false alarm. Lin Yi came to the vicinity of the waterhole, looked at the water surface that was not unusual, then wiped the sweat off his forehead, walked to the other corner of the waterhole, washed off the dirt on his hands, and walked to a nearby platform to sit on it. He took out some dry food from the small cloth bag and chewed it, keeping his eyes on the waterhole, for fear that something abnormal would happen again.

Time flies, the sky outside has completely darkened, and the night has quietly driven away the day, and has covered itself with a black curtain. Lin Yi, who was still trapped under the pit, had no idea about the change in time outside, but felt as if time had stopped flowing, and there was nothing abnormal except for the hungry rumbling.

The surface of the water is still terrifying, and the bottomless underwater is like a big dark blue eye, snooping on the creatures walking around the ground all the time, and Lin Yi is still looking for the so-called hidden passage around. After some blind tossing, Lin Yi's physical strength was wasted in vain, with the dry food in the small cloth bag.

There was only one way to go in front of him, looking at the deep pool not far away, "Fight it, that monster jumped out of here, I'm afraid there is an undercurrent leading directly to the outside" Lin Yi took out the remaining bit of jerky, stuffed it all into his mouth, and after eating the last dry food in his mouth, he tied the small cloth bag pinned to his waist tightly, and tied a dead knot hard.

After trying to pull hard to make sure that you don't lose it, I walked to the waterhole with confidence.

Sticking his stick into the belt in front of him, he took a deep breath and leaped forward, causing a tumbling wave on the surface of the water to spread outward.

Lin Yi was roaming in the water like a fish at this time, and Lin Yi, whose mouth occasionally bubbled, squinted at the situation in the water, this waterhole was deeper than he imagined.

As I went deeper and deeper into the water, the light shining in from the top of my head became darker and darker, and in the end there was only a little blurred light spot, and my body strongly felt the oppressive force in the water, coupled with the gradual consumption of oxygen in my mouth, I couldn't waste time in such an environment, and if I really couldn't, I had to go back to the waterhole.

Lin Yi's hands and feet kept swimming in the water, and his anxious eyes looked around, only to find that in the distance on his right, two blue "big lanterns" flashed and swam towards him.

"Groove cake!" Lin Yi secretly screamed in his heart, what he didn't want to see the most now was just something he had encountered.

Lin Yi riveted his strength, his body was like a fish, and he quickly swam behind him. Lin Yi swam quickly in the water, and the pair of blue "big lanterns" behind him were too fast to pass, constantly approaching Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't dare to look back to see what kind of monster was tracking him, so he could only swim forward desperately, and the more he delayed, the greater the danger would be.

In such a rapid swim, the oxygen in his mouth earlier had been exhausted, and there was a sound of grinding his teeth behind him, which seemed even heavier in the water, but it was like a life-threatening bell in Lin Yi's ears, which stimulated Lin Yi's swimming speed even more, a few points faster than before.

Lin Yi swam forward with all his might, and the monster with blue light in the darkness behind followed closely the prey in front of him.

"Oh no, I'm about to lose it. Just when he felt exhausted, there was a looming spot of light in front of him like a first-aid lamp, this discovery made Lin Yi ecstatic, and the speed of his body changed faster.

The spot of light became bigger and bigger, it was a hole, the size of the hole was just enough to accommodate himself, just when Lin Yi thought that he could escape from the pursuit of the monster in the dark, he suddenly found that the nearby water flow was sucked by an attraction, which was a phenomenon caused by the monster in the darkness behind opening its big mouth.

But Lin Yi didn't know what was going on, he only knew that if he didn't escape from here quickly, he would really die!

Out of danger to himself, his facial features and limbs erupted with a strong momentum in the water, and Lin Yi relied on this momentum to get rid of the crisis of being swallowed by the monster, and suddenly got into the hole.

The moment Lin Yi drilled into the hole, a strong impact force followed by the collapse of the hole, and countless pieces of rubble rolled down from the top of the hole to cover the hole, and the monsters in the water couldn't get in, and the creatures inside couldn't get out.

Lin Yi relied on his inertia to come to the platform in the cave, the water was above his knees, and his pale face was panting heavily.

Seeing that the entrance of the cave was buried, Lin Yi knew that he was out of danger, so he had the opportunity to see the surrounding environment clearly, this is a cave, there are no strange stalactites in it, there are just a pile of broken stones, and steps.

Lin Yi, who came back to his senses, realized, "There are steps here?" Lin Yi felt incredible, this is obviously unreasonable, this is the depths of the waterhole. How could there be steps here

Looking at the rectangular steps, one step at a time spiraling to the heights, Lin Yi knew that he might have entered a certain secret passage by mistake, and there might be a way to escape here.
