Qiu Yan was also very uncomfortable, he couldn't see anything in this dark and cold underground river, only the sound of 'gurgling' rapids in his ears, and he could only let the water drift forward. Every time he had to take a step ahead www.biquge.info of Chen Yao when he hit the rock, he used his body to shield her. In order to suppress the bucket, Qiu Yan's right hand was already scarred by rubbing against the rock on the top wall.

Although he was familiar with water, he couldn't hold his breath for too long, but this section of the underground rapids actually reached the height of the rock on the top wall, so he couldn't breathe.

Chen Yao's body began to tremble slightly, Qiu Yan knew that the oxygen in the wooden barrel was about to run out, and he was also a little anxious. However, he did not regret jumping off with Chen Yao and Zhang Yanfeng, because this was indeed the only way out, and there was no other choice. He knew the power of the carnivorous army ants, and his training to survive in the wild while on Heyue Island also focused on this terrifying species. They are very weak, but they are extremely numerous, and every time they appear, they are overwhelming, and there is nowhere to hide. Once entangled, in a short ten minutes, you will only be left with a white skeleton.

Qiu Yan finally knew why so many corpses in the underground space died there, driven in by carnivorous army ants. Those wooden sundries are not deliberately placed, but living utensils, which can also be understood as the original appearance of the underground space is a residential house. When a large number of carnivorous army ants appear out of thin air and break into their houses, they will intellectually choose to flee, and the only place they can escape in the end is this underground space. Of course, there are also people who have tried to use underground rivers to escape, but the number of carnivorous army ants is too large, and half of the excavation is swallowed by the dense creatures, which is why there are corpses at the bottom of the pool, and not all people died here, there must be some people who died outside, but as time passed, the skeletons that died outside have long been covered by wind and sand.

Qiu Yan swam forward with his feet thrown around, dragging Chen Yao tightly in his arms, Zhang Yanfeng's body behind him was tense and suddenly weakened, which startled Qiu Yan, and hurriedly grabbed his collar, in this kind of place where he couldn't see his fingers, as long as they were separated, they would never want to find each other again.

Qiu Yan originally calculated that the air in the bucket was enough to support Chen Yao, but something unexpected happened when he just fell into the water, the bucket was hit by a rock and deflected, and it was immediately injected with the water that was measured, which also caused a large amount of air to be squeezed out. Chen Yao had been breathing hard with his forehead up, and the air in the bucket that could be breathed for half an hour had been shortened to a few minutes.

After all, Qiu Yan is a person who has undergone strict training on Heyue Island, although he has palpitations, but he does not show panic, and only by calming down in a dangerous environment can he find a way to save his life, and once he panics, the faster he will die. For this, Qiu Yan undoubtedly did a good job, he did not panic, but swam forward more vigorously.

Suddenly, there was a 'whooshing' sound, which was the echo of the water colliding with the rocks. If there is an echo, there must be space, Qiu Yan hurriedly poked his head out, and found that the rock wall above his head had gone up a little, separated from the water surface a little distance. He happily pulled off the bucket on Chen Yao's head and pulled out Zhang Yanfeng so that they could breathe a few breaths of fresh air. Fortunately, although Chen Yao's breathing was weak, it was still there, and there was no danger for the time being, but it was just a temporary lack of oxygen that made him unconscious.

The further you swim forward, the wider the space above becomes. Qiu Yan knew that there must be a natural underground space nearby, so he didn't rush to swim forward, but groped his way forward on the rock wall.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Qiu Yan to feel that his feet had stepped on the ground, and he hugged the unconscious Chen Yao and walked down the ground to a high place. Qiu Yan didn't know how good his luck was, if he floated for a while, there would be an underground ocean formed by the convergence of several underground rivers in front of him, as long as he was washed into it, no matter how high your ability was, it would be useless and there would be no possibility of escape.

This is still a dark world where you can't see your fingers, Qiu Yan suddenly had an illusion, looking at the shadow under him, as if he felt empathy for these eyes have been addicted to this for more than 20 years. Qiu Yan didn't know how long he had walked, and the water level under his feet was getting lower and lower, and it was already above his knees. It's just that the rocky ground under the water is very potholed, and the current is so fast that it almost knocks him down in a few places.

Finally walked out of the deep water area, the water surface at the moment only reached the ankle, Zhang Yanfeng knelt and 'poofed' and inhaled the oxygen floating in the ground, and instantly collapsed to the ground, Qiu Yan hugged Chen Yao and sat in the stagnant water and gasped. After holding his breath underwater for three or four minutes, he kept swimming forward, in other words, ordinary people would have drowned, and then he had to drag the two of them up in the water, Rao is Qiuyan had amazing physical strength, and he also felt in a trance, not to mention that he still had injuries on his body.

Chen Yao seemed to be very cold, and her body was tightly curled up into a ball. The underground river is too cold, cold to the marrow. Except for Qiu Yan, Zhang Yanfeng and Chen Yao's faces were different from ordinary people, pale and bloodless. Qiu Yan turned Chen Yao around, let her back against her chest, wrap her hands around her waist, and warm her with her body heat.

Taking advantage of the break, Qiu Yan checked his equipment, except for Ji He, but found that all the things were lost, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. I don't know how long it was, maybe a few hours, maybe a whole day. Suddenly, Chen Yao let out a faint moan.

"Are you awake?" Qiu Yan's voice was not high, but it was buzzing in this claustrophobic space.

"Brother Qiuyan. Chen Yao said in a weak voice. "I'm so cold. ”

Qiu Yan's hands increased a little more and asked. "Is there anything better?"

Chen Yao tapped his forehead slightly, and asked after a moment of silence. "Where are we?"

"I don't know, it's still in the underground river, but it's safe for the time being. He paused and continued. "Can you still walk now?"

"It should be possible, but I'm in pain all over my body, can I rest first?"

Qiu Yan nodded lightly and continued to hold Chen Yao and sit in the stagnant water.

After a long time, Chen Yao whispered. "Brother Qiuyan, I'm so hungry. ”

Qiu Yan looked around, but she couldn't see anything except black, and she opened a strand of her hair and whispered. "Bear with me a little longer, and when we find a way out, we will go eat prawns together. ”

"Will we get out alive?"

Qiu Yan slowly stood up, carried Chen Yao on his back, and said softly. "Absolutely. With that, Zhang Yanfeng, who had recovered some physical strength, continued to drip and grope in the dark.

Chen Yao leaned lightly on Qiu Yan's back, put her hands around his neck, and slowly closed her eyes.
