235. The passage under the cliff

More than ten meters away is a huge underground cavity, with a dome of more than 30 meters and a width of no less than 50 meters. The flare draws a parabola, hits the dome right onto it, and falls straight down.

Everyone walked forward to the edge of the cliff, only to see the flare falling on a layer of yellow sand twenty-five or six meters below, and in a blink of an eye, they fell into the yellow sand, and soon disappeared.

The surrounding environment was pitch black again, and the lighting equipment on everyone's bodies could only illuminate a three-meter area around them, and the strong flashlight could only see a small area due to the concentrated light.

Just now, everyone was only paying attention to the dome above and the yellow sand under the cliff, but they didn't notice whether there was any cave or way out on the opposite mountain wall, and they couldn't confirm how big the space under the cliff was.

Jason had to fire a few flares so that everyone could check the terrain.

However, Gao Jin had already carefully observed the entire underground cavity, and he could see it clearly. This underground space is confined and there is only one exit behind it.

Looking around the mountain wall, there was no entrance to the cave or any passage, not even a crack. The bottom of the cliff is all fine yellow sand, and the surface is very flat, and if you don't look closely, you think it's just a piece of golden land.

"It's over, it's a dead end. What should we do? George said in frustration, with tears in his voice, clearly feeling desperate.

"How can it be a dead end, it's only more than twenty meters down from here, we have enough ropes, we should go down to look for it, maybe there will be a way out below!" Miranda said.

Feeling a little down, Mike and Lance both put their backpacks under their butts and sat on them.

"Gao Jin, what do you think should be done now?" Han Mei still puts her hopes on Gao Jin, and in her opinion, it seems that nothing can stump Gao Jin.

Gao Jin had been standing on the edge of the cliff, ostensibly using a flashlight to observe the situation under the cliff, but in fact he was testing the yellow sand with the wind blade. Sure enough, a small wind blade of his hit the yellow sand, and it penetrated into the sand layer for about ten centimeters, and a deep scratch appeared, but in a blink of an eye, the scratch was filled with the yellow sand.

"Huh?" Gao Jin turned around. His movements seemed to be a little big, as if he had knocked off the kettle in a hurry. As a result, the kettle fell directly down the cliff and landed on the yellow sand.

Gao Jin hurriedly turned around and took a flashlight to shine down the cliff. I saw that the kettle fell on the yellow sand, and soon it fell, and in less than two seconds, it was completely swallowed by the yellow sand.

"Quicksand? It seems like it's all quicksand! Gao Jin said.

"What, quicksand?" "What can I do?" "It's over, it's over, it's dead this time." "Shut up, Nima is dead!"

Next, everyone found something to experiment with. Sure enough, there is quicksand underneath, and the devouring effect is very powerful. It's impossible to determine how deep the quicksand layer is, but no one wants to go down and measure it.

However, Gao Jin also had an unexpected discovery, just when the kettle fell, he also saw that there seemed to be a circular cave at the bottom of the cliff where he was standing, about five meters away from the yellow sand layer.

"Susanna, you pull me, I seem to have found something." Gao Jin said. In this group of people, he felt that he could only trust Susanna, after all, she was pretended by Aurora, and the fellow spiritual detective should be considered his own person.

Suzanne nodded, didn't ask anything, and walked over to Gao Jin. Gao Jin stretched out his right hand and grabbed Susanna's right hand, leaned out of the cliff, and looked down at the mountain wall at his feet.

At this time, he leaned out of the cliff about forty centimeters and could see the things on the mountain wall clearly. Sure enough, about five meters above the yellow sand layer, there is a circular passage entrance, and the white granite on the surface contrasts sharply with the brownish-yellow sand around it.

"There's a passage entrance down there, probably a way out!" Gao Jin spoke of his discovery. With a slight push on Susanna's arm, she pulled him back.

"How? Do you see the entrance to the passage? Han Mei asked.

"The round black hole, the white granite on the periphery, exactly the same shape as here, I can see it clearly." Gao Jin replied in the affirmative.

"Even if it's a passage, it's not necessarily safe, have you forgotten? There was that kind of light network in the passage before, and if the following one also had it, wouldn't we be killing ourselves? Miranda analyzed. She is the oldest in the action group and is very calm when thinking about problems.

"There's no way out anyway, so I'm going to give it a try anyway. Lance, what do you say? "Mike clearly doesn't want to sit still.

Lance nodded emphatically and said, "I agree with Mike, if you don't give it a try, how do you know if there's danger inside, maybe it's safe!" ”

At this time, the eyes of several people were on George, who was also a member of the action team, so he naturally needed to show his attitude at this time.

George stood up, patted the dust, and said, "You can try as much as you want, I've had enough anyway." This place makes me very uncomfortable, so I'd better go back to the stone chamber inside, at least somewhere safer. ”

Ignoring everyone's reactions, he picked up his backpack and walked to the entrance of the passage not far away, intending to return to the stone chamber the same way. Jason, the bodyguard, immediately followed, and as a bodyguard he had to keep George safe at all times.

"George, you wait!" "You idiot, stay in the stone room and just wait for death!" ……

"Whatever you say, I've had enough!" George's attitude seemed to be very resolute, contrary to his previous cowardice, and he seemed very stubborn. Maybe this is the so-called ostrich mentality, no matter what the danger, it is safe to be out of sight anyway! That's how he is at the moment.

However, George was about to step into the passage when Jason, behind him, suddenly reached out and grabbed his backpack. Before he could take a single step, the whole person had been dragged to the ground by Jason.

And almost at the same moment, a web of dozens of red beams of light appeared out of thin air, neatly slicing off the sole of George's right leg that had just reached into the passage.

"Ahh George fell to the ground and let out a scream, then his eyes made him faint in pain. Jason hurriedly dragged George away from the entrance of the passage a few steps, and took out the first aid kit to quickly treat his wounds.

I saw that two red light nets appeared in the passage, and they were moving back and forth, and this road was completely impassable.

At this moment, everyone was depressed, and the passage under the cliff did not know whether it was safe, and the way back had been blocked by the optical network.

Just as everyone ran up to check the entrance of the passage, I don't know who exclaimed again, "Look, what's going on down there?" ”

Without hesitation, Suzanne hurriedly fired a flare to reflect the situation below the cliff.

I saw that many raised piles of sand suddenly appeared in the originally calm yellow sand, just when everyone thought that something was going to break through the ground. Dozens of strands of yellow sand gushed out, like fountains, constantly spewing out yellow sand.

"Look, the yellow sand is pouring out, do you want to go through the passage below, hurry up and make a decision!" Suzanne had a hint of panic in her voice, giving the impression that the situation was serious.

"There's no time to think about it, you have to act now. I'll go down first to see what happens, and if there's no danger, I'll take everyone down!" Susanna, you're broken! Gao Jin said decisively. He took the rope out of his backpack, threw the end of the rope to Susanna, and lowered the other end down the cliff.

"Gao Jin, you ......"

Before Han Mei's words were finished, Gao Jin had already slipped off the edge of the cliff. When she rushed to the edge of the cliff and looked down with a flashlight, she saw Gao Jinzheng grasping the rope with his left hand, standing on the edge of the passage with both feet, and holding a flashlight in his right hand to throw the flashlight into the passage.

Although Gao Jin's actions seemed to be reckless, he had already calculated it in his heart. With his skills, it is not difficult to grab the rope and fall to a cliff of more than ten meters. And it is also the most appropriate to hand over the rope to Susanna, who can be 100% sure that no one in the group has more strength than her, except for herself.

Gao Jin naturally didn't throw stones from the flashlight to ask for directions, but shot several wind blades into the passage. Tempting with these wind blades with wind energy can also trigger the latent laser net. Whether there is danger or not, it is immediately visible.

Seeing the wind blade flying straight to the end of the passage, there was nothing abnormal in the entire passage. Gao Jin's originally hanging heart was put down.

He had been thinking about it if the passage wasn't safe. He immediately went back to the top, stunned the group with the unconscious capsule, and then asked Suzanne to open a portal and escape from the hellish place.

"It's safe in here, you can come down!" Gao Jin shouted loudly. He had confirmed that there was no terrifying light net in the passage, and he couldn't feel any energy fluctuations standing in the passage, so it seemed to be safe.

"You loosen the rope a little and get ready to take it!" Suzanne shouted from above.

At this time, the yellow sand layer is rising rapidly, and the yellow sand is still gushing out. Although it was only a short two minutes since it was discovered, the sand layer had risen by more than 50 centimeters. At this rate, in less than half an hour, the passage mouth will be completely submerged.

Everyone is aware of the problem and is acting very quickly. At this time, even those who originally had other ideas had already put their scruples behind, and rushing into the passage below might be in danger of death, but when the yellow sand flooded the mouth of the passage, there would be no life.

Gao Jin answered at the edge of the passage, pulling the people who had slipped down from it into the passage one by one. As for George, who was injured and unconscious, he was tied to his back by Jason and climbed down with him.

Finally, Gao Jin asked the others to pull the rope, and he leaned out of the passage with the rope in one hand. Susanna, who was in charge of the break, jumped directly from the cliff, saw Gao Jin's outstretched arm, the toes were a little above, and then twisted her waist to make a front flip in the air, and actually flipped into the passage with a heel bucket.
