Chapter 53: Trade-offs

Just as everyone was concentrating on cultivating the "Yin and Yang Jue" in front of the stalagmite statue, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

Xing Lu, who was sitting on the ground resting, heard the sound, frowned and stood up. She pulled Chu Xiran and Xiao Hua, followed the direction of the sound, and came to a remote corner of this cave.

Drops of water gradually oozed from the top of the cave wall, which had been extremely dry and beautiful, and dripped faster and faster along the stone curtain, and in a short time the ground below became a large water stain.

Looking around, there was no other exit from the cave. She hurried to the stone door where she had come in with the two little ones, and banged on the wall of the cave, but she could not open it by many means.

"Sister Lulu, what are you doing? Are we going to get out of here?" Chu Xiran and Xiaohua, who had been following her, were a little puzzled.

"I'll see how this door can be opened, we can't just stay here forever and never get out. ”

"Sister Lulu, did the dripping water there just now make you feel very wrong?" Chu Xiran thought of Xing Lu's frown when he saw the dripping water in the corner just now.

"Well, I'm afraid that the water will flow more and more, but it won't drain outside, and it will eventually flood the place. Xing Lu didn't intend to hide it from them.

"Why is this so, now this door can't be opened again, what are we going to do then! I don't want to be trapped here and drowned!" Xiao Hua immediately became scared when he heard this.

"Don't be afraid of Xiaohua, you see, the water droplets are falling very slowly, and we will definitely find a way out before we are submerged here. Patting Xiao Hua's head, Chu Xiran gently comforted him.

"Well, Xiaoxi is right, the most important thing for us now is to find a way to get out with everyone. Xing Lu felt very pleased with Chu Xiran's performance, she was not like other Jiaojiao ladies who would only cry and scream when she encountered trouble, she still retained a minimum of sanity, and was able to appease Xiaohua, who was weaker than herself.

Just as they were about to pull them back to the place where they had just stayed, they saw Chu Yu leading a few people with anxious faces walking towards them.

"Miss Xiran, Sister Xing Lu, we can be regarded as finding you, we couldn't see a few of you over there just now, you don't know how worried Young Master Chu Yu is. It was still reminded by the Yongwei brothers, who thought that you might come here. On the way, we were discussing if we didn't look elsewhere quickly. Zhang Qiangxin was straightforward and fast-talking, and he couldn't stop talking when he saw them.

After he finished speaking, several people saw Chu Yu, who had an indifferent face, glanced at him embarrassedly, and then said to Xing Lu and them seriously: "Well, I am worried about you, I am afraid that you will be in danger. Several people on the side were excitedly exchanging glances with each other: This Chu Yu finally knew how to say some good things to make people happy, and he had made progress.

I didn't expect him to admit it so neatly, Xing Lu was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, we're fine, but I still want to thank you for your concern." But she wrote down Chu Yu's care for herself in her heart, lowered her head, and didn't let people see the emotion in her eyes.

"There's some water seeping here, I'm afraid we'll get stuck later, so we'll have to find the exit quickly. Wang Yongwei spoke out to inform them of the current situation.

"Well, we see, we just wanted to look at this stone door when we came, and see if there was any way to open it. ”

"How about Sister Lulu, is the door open?" asked Roach.

"No, I've tried several ways, but I can't open it, and I don't know how the person opened it just now. Xing Lu shook her head.

"When he came in just now, it was opened by Han Yifeng's team, and he has already come here now, don't worry, the water is dripping slowly. Uncle Cang comforted everyone.

More and more people noticed the anomaly, and they all gradually converged here. The man who had opened the stone door also came, and saw him knocking left and right around the four walls of the stone door, and his brow became more and more furrowed.

"Young master, I can't find the mechanism, I can't open the door!" As he spoke, he looked at Han Yifeng timidly, and a bean-sized cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"How could this be? Didn't you open it just now!" Han Yifeng's face was gloomy, and he didn't have the unparalleled elegance of a handsome son that he usually maintained in front of everyone.

Qiu Lin was holding his arm on the side, sensing the signs before his outburst, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to him: "Yifeng, we should find another exit as soon as possible now, instead of holding out who is responsible here, don't forget that there are others here." ”

Han Yifeng also felt everyone's puzzled and surprised gazes, after all, he was usually a gentle and elegant handsome son, and at first glance, he was so aggressive that everyone watching from the side felt a sudden shock in their hearts.

Thinking of this, he changed his gloom just now, and said softly to the man: "Forget it, now is not the time to pursue these, you don't want to do this, right? ”

When the man received the order, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Qiu Lin with a grateful face, and then bent down at Han Yifeng and retreated to the side to stand aside. He knew in his heart that the biggest credit for being able to escape today was Qiu Lin, and he couldn't help but be grateful for her kindness.

Everyone in the world knows that the Han family is gentle and courteous, but few people know his true character. Only those of them, who have followed him since he was a teenager, know how arbitrary and arrogant he is in private, and if he is not satisfied with his performance, the end will be very miserable.

However, their old and young families are still in the hands of the Han family, and they can't resist easily, so they can only endure it silently. In front of him, his fiancée, Miss Qiu Lin, can influence him and easily make him change his mind.

Han Yifeng threw away the unhappiness just now, and said to He Lei, who also rushed over to check the situation: "There is no way to open here, what suggestions do you have now?"

"The situation now has to be done to find another exit. Xiao Hai next to He Lei interjected.

Han Yifeng's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the casual interjection in front of him made him a little dissatisfied, but he didn't care about him, who made himself an elegant Han Yifeng, for people he didn't know well, he never counted so much.

"Okay, then we can all act together and work together to find an exit. Don't waste time, look for it now. We start on the left, and you look on the right. After saying that, he took his own people to the left side of the stone gate, and the rest of the people spontaneously went to the other side to find them.

The group carefully tapped along the walls of the cave around them, trying to find the mechanism, until an hour passed, and the two teams had merged, but the exit was never found. They exchanged directions again and searched carefully, but still found no way out.

At this time, the water stains dripping from the top of the cave had spread to the ankles of the people, and even to the legs and stomachs in the low-lying places. Everyone looked at the water that was still dripping, and their hearts were a little anxious.

Xing Lu is also very anxious, although she can take everyone to Haoyue Xiaozhu when she arrives, but she doesn't want to expose it casually unless she has to, but she will never be able to do it if she dies without helping. Guilty of her guilt, who knows what the people here will think when they see Haoyue Xiaozhu after being rescued by her? For a while, she hesitated and couldn't make a choice.

At this time, Qiu Lin was the most calm, there was a set of equipment in her exchange shop that could be teleported, but the price was too high and it was a one-time consumable, and she could only take away two people, including her, so she was not willing to exchange it easily until the last moment. The last thing she can give up here is her fiancé Han Yifeng, and she can escape with him when the time comes. As for Xing Lu, although she has a very good relationship with herself now, there is no way, between Han Yifeng and her, she will only choose Han Yifeng, her future backer. It's a pity that the sisterhood maintained between her and Xing Lu can only end here.

Therefore, Qiu Lin's personality is very similar to Han Yifeng, the same cold, selfish, and self-centered, although neither of them is like this on the surface. The two people who will attract each other and end up together are either the same type of people, or they will be two diametrically opposed people, and she and Han Yifeng are obviously the former.

There is nothing that Qiu Lin can't give up, if only one person can survive today, she will choose herself without hesitation, and no one can stop her.
