Chapter Sixty-Eight: Underwater Escape
The wooden houses in this village were all occupied by the collar, and the fire soon set the houses next to it on fire, and the fire spread rapidly.
The flames soared into the sky, and the entire village was engulfed in flames.
When the fire began to spread, 11 had already broken the wall on one side and hid in another room next door that had just burned with Ouyang Yue'er in his arms. The houses are made of wood and are deep in the desert, which has been dry for a long time, and in many places it has shown signs of decay. With 11 of the strength, it was easy to pierce through the wood, but the large number of desert marching ants still waiting outside was more troublesome.
11 paved the road with burning wooden planks, and the desert marching ants "cooperated" to make way for a passage, and 11 quickly ran to the next house with Ouyang Yue'er in his arms.
But just halfway through the run, those desert marching ants suddenly rushed up, the desert marching ants in front climbed into the fire board, and were immediately swallowed by the flames, and the desert marching ants in the back still climbed up in the follow-up. They want to use their bodies to extinguish the flames and create opportunities for their companions.
Ouyang Yue'er was lying in 11's arms, although her expression was still very flustered, she was much calmer than at the beginning. 11 gave her an inexplicable sense of security, and she believed that as long as 11 was there, she would be fine.
11 Quickly broke down the wooden wall of the next house, and this room was also affected by the fire, but fortunately the fire was not large.
"Boom!!" As soon as they hid in the house, the house that had been burned by 11 first collapsed, and the burning wood flew everywhere, burning a lot of desert marching ants, but for the desert marching ants outside, this loss was a drop in the bucket.
As the fire spread, the entire village was covered in flames. And 11 and Ouyang Yue'er have also changed several houses because the fire is getting more and more fierce, but each one of them will not stay long before they are surrounded by fire.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer places to hide, Ouyang Yue'er asked a little anxiously, "11, what should I do now?"
11 was very calm from beginning to end, and it was because of his calmness that Ouyang Yue'er was infected, so she didn't show that kind of panic that she was at a loss until now.
11Looking through the hole in the wall, he looked at the dense red outside, and said in a deep voice, "Run." โ
"How do you escape?"
11He looked back at her and pointed to his feet.
Ouyang Yue'er was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
11 said in a flat tone: "If there is a well below, there must be an underground river." โ
Ouyang Yue'er shouted: "You are crazy! It is an underground river, you will definitely die if you go down!"
11 Shaking his head, he said, "Either you will be burned by the fire, or you will be eaten by them, or you will gamble." You can only choose one. โ
Ouyang Yue'er bit her lower lip and said, "These three are all dead." โ
"No, if you go down the underground river, if you are lucky, you will not die. โ
"But I can't swim......"
"With me, you don't need it. โ
"But...... But ......" Ouyang Yue'er still couldn't say it for most of the day, she always felt that the underground river should be a closed space, except for the water, there were only rocks, and there could be no other things, let alone a way out.
11 seemed to know what she was worried about, and said, "The underground river is usually connected to the desert oasis, and as long as we can find a connection to the oasis, we will have a chance to get out." โ
"But there are only a few oases in the desert, and ......"
"There's no time left. โ
Ouyang Yue'er said in a little panic: "But I don't know how to dive." โ
"Use buckets. โ
"Huh?"
"Turn the bucket upside down, and your head coverings in it. As long as you don't let the water press in, it's enough for you to breathe air for half an hour, and you'll be able to hold on for a while, and I'll take you with me during this time. โ
Ouyang Yue'er gritted her teeth and asked, "Is there no other way?"
11 shook his head and said, "This is the only way, you have also seen the number of desert marching ants outside, even if we are not burned to death, we will not be able to escape at all." โ
Seeing that Ouyang Yue'er was still hesitating, 11 picked her up impatiently and ran all the way to the basement behind this house. 11 dismantled a large number of burned wooden planks and threw them down, dispersed the desert marching ants below, and then jumped down with Ouyang Yue'er in his arms.
As soon as they landed, the nearby desert marching ants rushed up desperately, trying to extinguish the flames with their bodies, just like the desert marching ants outside. In addition to these desert marching ants, a large number of red desert marching ants poured out of the ground, surrounding the two of them.
Ouyang Yue'er hugged 11's neck tightly in fright and refused to let go.
11 Holding Ouyang Yue'er's body with both hands, she slowly walked forward, and every step she stepped on would cause the sand to form a thin layer of ice. Fortunately, Ouyang Yue'er had already buried her body in 11's chest in fright, and closed her eyes tightly and didn't dare to look, otherwise she would definitely be speechless in surprise at this moment.
11 Holding Ouyang Yue'er in his arms, he passed through the desert marching ants without danger, and countless desert marching ants turned into ice sculptures along the way. He walked to the side of the earth well, bent down to pick up the bucket, poured out the dust inside and a small number of desert marching ants that crawled in, and then put the bucket on Ouyang Yue'er's head. Ouyang Yue'er kept her eyes closed and didn't dare to speak, allowing 11 to cover her head with a bucket.
Those desert marching ants seemed to have guessed what 11 was going to do, and in an instant all the desert marching ants rushed over in a frenzy. White smoke continued to rise from 11's feet, and those desert marching ants still crawled forward one after another, but none of them could only get close to 11's feet.
11 Holding Ouyang Yue'er upright in his arms, one hand wrapped around her waist, and the other hand pressed on the bucket on her head, took a deep breath, and jumped down the earth.
"Ah......h
"Porphy!" came the sound of two people falling into the water from the well.
The desert marching ants all flocked to the edge of the well, and surrounded the mouth of the well, but not one of them climbed down.
It was freezing cold, and Ouyang Yue'er now knew that the underground river water was so cold. Fortunately, 11 kept hugging her and used his body temperature to give her a trace of warmth.
Ouyang Yue'er felt that she had been drifting all the time, and the speed was very fast, and the bucket on her head collided with the surrounding rocks from time to time to make a "dong dong" sound. Fortunately, 11 had a lot of strength, and he kept pressing the bucket to keep it offset, otherwise it would have been filled with water.
Ouyang Yue'er didn't know how long she had drifted with the current, she only felt that her body was getting colder and colder, and the air in the bucket was getting thinner and thinner, making her almost out of breath.
Her consciousness began to blur, and her breathing became more and more rapid. There was a blank in her head, and the only thing she knew was that 11 was still holding her. Then it went dark......
