Chapter 168, The Cave Collapses
The tremors continued, and at this time, not only the walls were torn open, but even the ground was pulled out with a deep, long crack.
As soon as the rift expanded, deep inside the cave, the toads near the rift fell into it.
The cracks in the ground were like a bottomless hole, into which toads fell without even a bubbling sound.
The rift is still expanding, and the entire cave has already been filled with toads, and every time the crack expands, many toads fall into it, completely losing their movement.
The restless restlessness of the toad made the situation worse and worse.
Because the toad next to the rift wants to flee, and the toad in the three passages wants to squeeze into the cave.
In this way, the situation became more and more chaotic, and more and more toads were squeezed into the underground rift by their own kind.
After a few moments of confusion, a muffled cry rang out in a passage in front of us.
The cries exploded in the cave like thunder, and for a moment all the toads were quiet, no restlessness, no restlessness, they seemed to have received some kind of command, and after a short silence, began to "coo" in response to the deafening cry in the depths of the cave.
The toad's "cooing" soon became neat, as if a group of people were playing drums in unison.
In less than a minute, the confusion had vanished, and all the toads had turned around and begun to retreat into the passage.
The number of toads in the cave has decreased, and our pressure has been relatively relaxed.
The cracks in the ground are not only expanding, but they are constantly increasing, crisscrossing and crisscrossing without the slightest pattern.
The most terrifying thing is that as the cracks increase and expand, the dirt floor in the cave also begins to crumble, falling into a bottomless pit.
Looking at the large swaths of collapsed ground, a group of us were terrified, for fear that the ground at our feet would suddenly sink.
In just a few minutes, part of the ground of the entire cave had collapsed, and it was completely impossible to move forward.
In this case, the cave will be replaced by a bottomless black hole in a few minutes.
At that time, we will have to fall into the abyss.
"Run, run into the rift ahead!"
I pointed to the crack in the wall in front of me, then grabbed Tang Yuying's hand and rushed forward.
The toads had no time to take care of us at the moment, and the instinct to survive made them begin to retreat quickly.
However, there are too many of them, and there are tens of thousands of toads in the passages, including the caves, and even if they have reached the fastest speed under the command of something, they are not something that can be cleared in a few minutes.
Because of the blocking of the toad swarm, the time for us to escape for our lives was also slowed down.
The relatively safe place has been completely occupied by toads, leaving almost no gaps.
In some places, although there are passable roads, they are very unstable due to cracks in the ground, and they will collapse at any time.
As long as the rift expands a little, the so-called escape route will become Huangquan Road.
The only thing we can do now is to squeeze, to squeeze the last bit of safe space as much as possible, to squeeze out a way.
A few of us boys are okay, and we have a great advantage in strength, while girls are relatively inferior.
So we can only take one boy and one girl, and try to ensure that we can cover each other.
I took Tang Yuying with me, Liu Meng with Luo Tian, Wang Gang with Liu Yun, and Song Qian followed alone at the rear.
At this time, I don't have time to take care of too much, as long as I move a little slowly, a road that I have managed to squeeze out will be blocked by a toad.
Squeezing around in a swarm of toads, this experience is really unique.
The inside of the cave is still collapsing, and more and more toads are falling into it.
A huge cave is now only half of the area left, and the remaining half is now all turned into a pitch-black and bottomless abyss, and this situation is still intensifying.
We're getting closer to the crack in the wall ahead, but with the speed at which the ground is collapsing, it doesn't seem realistic to reach safety.
Just when I was in doubt, a shadow suddenly flashed beside me and Tang Yuying.
After staring at it, I realized that the shadow that flashed was actually Song Qian!
If it's just like this, it's nothing, the most important thing is that Song Qian didn't rely on strength to squeeze forward, but stepped directly on the toad and began to run forward.
She was very fast and dexterous, bouncing back and forth on the toad's back like a jumping rabbit.
The group of toads that were pressed into a black pressure has now become a stepping stone for Song Qian's advancement, a stepping stone in the real sense.
Watching her step on the pustule on the toad's back, my eyelids began to beat wildly.
You know, if she stepped on a pustule that caused the liquid to splash onto her foot, then her foot would be basically useless.
In the event of incapacitation, there is only one way out of life in this case.
It can be said that Song Qian is gambling with her life at the moment!
I don't know if it's because of her low weight, but I am surprised that all the pustules and bumps in the places she stepped on are intact, even if they are deformed by her weight and begin to vibrate, they never break and sputter.
After several light bounces and landings, Song Qian landed safely and walked into the crack that was torn open by the wall.
At this moment, the rift is already wider than the passage, which is equivalent to another road.
In addition to being surprised by Song Qian's bold move, what was even more strange to me was her performance just now.
Song Qian was sucked by the little girl's blood before, it can be said that she is weak, her face is very pale, and she is weak to speak all the way down.
And just now, her running and jumping movements on the toad's back were very sensitive and easy, and her body did not show the slightest swing or sign of stumbling.
You know, these toads are always on the move, and they are very unstable.
And their backs are not flat, because of the viscous liquid, on the contrary, they are very slippery, and if you are not careful, you will fall.
Empathy, if it were me, even if the toad group stood still and asked me to step on it, I wouldn't be able to do it so quickly and sensitively.
It's like a person walking on a mossy stone, but it's all cautious, stiff and slow.
Not to mention if these mossy stones could still move.
But Song Qian's performance just now was so relaxed, as if she was doing something insignificant.
I have a very strange feeling at the moment, Song Qian seems to be different from before......
Song Qian, who is at the rear, has escaped, and we are still struggling to the death.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I continued to push forward.
But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind him.
I subconsciously turned my head to look and found that where Liu Yun was standing, the ground had collapsed!
