Mount Taihua, at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyu and the others had already walked away, Deputy Director Zhou smiled and asked, "Who are these two?" If Mr. Li can be asked to attach so much importance to it, then the relationship should be unusual, right? ”

"They" Li Yi looked at the majestic Taihua Pass with deep eyes, and muttered: "This Miss Li and the friend she is in distress are the two people who are the most important to my young master." ”

Hearing him say this, Deputy Director Zhou suddenly nodded and said, "Oh, no wonder Mr. Xie will personally go up the mountain to find them, so that's the case." The corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile, and God knows where he was thinking

Taihua Mountain, underground caves.

Just when Ma Yi was already exhausted and wanted to stop and rest for a while, a breeze suddenly blew by, pulling the ends of her hair. Feeling the breeze blowing, she couldn't help but pause in her heart, and after feeling it carefully for a moment again, she determined the direction of the breeze.

In her senses, the breeze didn't seem to come from the direction of the passage ahead, but from another place. Seeing this, Ma Yi immediately measured his head, and with the help of the light of the mysterious point of light, he turned his head and looked at the rough stone wall on the right. But she didn't find anything, at most she found some cracks in the stone wall.

Observing these gaps, Ma Yi frowned slightly, and thought to himself, "Is there an exit here?" With that in mind, she lit a cigarette again. After a few puffs and a little enjoyment, she began to move slowly back and forth in front of the stone wall with a cigarette in her hand when the smoke cleared.

And as the cigarette in her hand moved to the edge of a protruding rock on the stone wall, the smoke from the cigarette suddenly escaped. Seeing this, Ma Yi knew that he had found the exact position, so he squatted down and began to observe it carefully again.

I saw that this was a protruding rock nearly one meter high, and the stone surface was flat and surrounded into irregular circles, which looked out of place with the entire stone wall. Seeing her heart move, she casually pulled out the military dagger pinned to her waist, and carefully began to clean up the protruding rock.

She used a dagger to dig down the earth and rocks at the junction between the rock and the rock wall, slowly but carefully. The geology here is very hard, and in some places, if the military dagger in Ma Yi's hand is not sharp enough, it really can't be dug up. She dug carefully for about twenty minutes or so, and did not get any significant results, but she did not give up, because she had a hunch that she would definitely find something here.

She kept digging, with the care she seemed to be doing archaeological digging. The reason why she had to be so careful was because she was worried that digging too quickly might inadvertently cause the cave to collapse, and then the gains would outweigh the losses. That's why she dug so carefully, for fear that too much action would cause some undesirable consequences.

After digging for a while, Ma Yi suddenly felt the strength in his hand lighten, and a small gap suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. From time to time, there will be a breeze accompanied by more than a dozen colored light points in this crack, slowly floating out of this crack. When she saw this, she immediately became happy, so she dug even harder and more carefully.

About two hours later, with a loud "boom" sound, the nearly one-meter-sized rock fell from the rock wall on its own in an instant, and fell to the side with a "bang", smashing a depression nearly half an inch deep in the ground. Seeing this scene, Ma Yi immediately jumped away as quickly as he flew, for fear that the collapse here would affect him. After waiting for a moment and not seeing anything else happening, she let out a long sigh of relief.

She first steadied, and when she had calmed down, she turned her head and looked at the fallen rock. Seeing this, it made Ma Yi feel the urge to scold, and he was depressed and helpless in his heart, and he was a little happy. I saw that the shape of the rock was like a large irregular plug, one end was big and the other was small, and the big end happened to be outside, and if it was dug like Ma Yi just now, it would definitely fall down by itself.

Fortunately, Ma Yi deliberately avoided the front direction of the rock when excavating, so that it didn't hit her, otherwise she would have become a meatloaf by now. The reason why she chose to avoid the front of the rock and dig on the side was not because she could not predict the future, but because she was worried that there would be unknown dangers behind the rock. If something unknown suddenly rushed out from behind her, it would definitely catch her off guard. Therefore, Ma Yi deliberately avoided the front position, so that if she encountered any sudden danger, she could call herself a longer reaction time. It was precisely this caution that allowed her to escape this catastrophe without danger.

When the dust settled, Ma Yi looked sideways at the stone wall, and then she could clearly see that there was a small hole in the stone wall that could be penetrated by one person. Looking out, inside the entrance of the cave is a narrow passage of less than five meters, through which you can see a relatively large cave inside. Standing outside, Ma Yi frowned in contemplation, turned his head to look at the stone crevice passage that he didn't know where it led, and then looked back at the hole in front of him. In the end, he gritted his teeth and crossed his heart, and got into the narrow passage in front of him.

By the time she emerged from the other side of the narrow passage, she was already standing in a medium-sized cavern behind it. She found that although the cave was also naturally formed, it seemed to give people a sense of ancient vicissitudes, making people feel a strange feeling of being in the middle of the long river of time as soon as they entered. It can be seen that this cave must have existed for an unknown number of years, and only this long-term erosion of time will give people this strange feeling that is almost out of order.

Looking around, I saw that the radius of this cave was about 5,000 square meters, and on the stone walls of this cave in all directions, there were more than a dozen passages of different sizes. These passages have since stretched out, and it is not known exactly where they lead.

The environment here is also empty, there are no life forms, no plants, no animals, no nature and no insects, only stalagmites standing quietly on the ground. And on the stone stalactites located on the roof of the cave, there are still some water droplets dripping down from time to time. It fell to the ground with a "pop", accumulating a few shallow puddles.

Seeing this, Ma Yi couldn't help but think again, "What the hell is going on in this place?" It's just weird that there's no life at all! Could it be that this is a radiation zone, so there are no life forms? Thinking of this, Ma Yi couldn't help but have that creepy feeling again, she checked herself for signs of mutation, and at the same time vigilantly looked at the surrounding environment, and the cold sweat behind her back was trickling down
