Chapter 027: Seeking the Afterlife (7)
"Oh no, it's a crack!" Long Zeye's face changed greatly, and he stepped forward to hold Jian Ning's hand for the first time.
I felt the ground under my feet shaking, and the yellow sand above my head was falling like chaff.
"The vision of the sky has passed, and now it has entered the stage of frequent natural disasters, at least three days, more than five days, and the nine stars will appear." In the chaos, Jian Ning finally heard the girl's voice again.
But at this moment, she couldn't ask anything else.
"What now?" Jian Ning asked helplessly.
Now they were still some distance from the exit, and the earthquake was so strong that it seemed as if the secret passage could collapse at any moment.
"There's no second way, so I can only gamble once at this time to see if I can run out before it collapses." Xiahou Yan's face was equally cold and serious.
Jian Ning was passively pulled by Long Zeye and ran away, at this time, she should be glad that this secret passage was still flat and spacious, otherwise it might be a luxury to even run.
There was still a constant yellow sand being shaken off overhead, I don't know how long I ran, I finally saw a glimmer of light, I thought it was the end, but I didn't expect it to be a closed cave.
"How so? What's next? Jian Ning asked in surprise after looking around.
This cave is not big, and the roof of the cave is even lower, with her height, she feels that she can touch her head, and Xiahou Yan and Long Zeye must be bent on their waists before they can enter.
And the only thing here is that there is something that doesn't look like a lake and a river doesn't like a river, or maybe it's better to call it a waterhole.
"This place should already belong to the boundary of Huaiyin Mountains, if there is no mistake. It should now be within one of the small peaks of the Huaiyin Ridge. Long Zeye said expressionlessly.
"The exit is in this pool, and the water in the pool is living water, which is connected to the river in the Huaiyin Mountains, and as long as you follow the direction of the water, you can go out." After Xia Houyan finished speaking, he took the lead in preparing to go into the water.
"Isn't that going to dive out of the water?" Jian Ning was taken aback, and almost subconsciously asked, "How much time does this have to stay in the water?" Know that there is a limit to how long a person can hold their breath."
They are masters, but she is not, without diving equipment. She may not hold back for a minute if she dies.
"Rest assured. It won't take long, and if it's fast, it's only a few blinks of an eye. Xiahou Yan looked at Jian Ning and said, "If you really encounter any accidents, I won't let you have anything to do." ”
"And what about it?" Jian Ning hugged the pom-pom in her arms in front of everyone. Said with some embarrassment.
"Animals know how to water. What's more, it's still a spirit fox. Long Zeye's words fell immediately. Before Jian Ning could react, she snatched the pom-pom from her hand and threw it into the pool without hesitation.
Jian Ning just watched the pom-pom draw a perfect parabola in the air. Flapping his paws wildly, he let out a scream in his mouth.
"Poof-" There was a huge splash in the pool.
Jian Ning was immediately shocked and angry, and jumped into the pool without expecting it. Then the other three followed.
When the whole person was submerged in the water, Jian Ning seemed to hear a huge collapse sound from above. She didn't know if the sound was really a collapse of the secret passage, or if it was due to auditory hallucinations caused by the water in her ears when she dived into the water.
Although the time under the water is really not long, Jian Ning really feels that it has been as long as a century, and in the end, the whole person's hands and feet seem to be sore and do not listen to his own call, just paddling the water mechanically.
The eyes, ears, mouth and nose were even more uncomfortable because of the lack of oxygen, but even so, I still didn't see the halo full of hope.
Just as she was about to lose consciousness, she felt someone grab her body and carry her upward
When she woke up again, she was lying on the soft morning ground and saw the dark night sky.
"Princess, you're finally awake." Yun Ling appeared in her sight, with a worried face.
"Did we come out alive?" Jian Ning thought back to her last memory, but all she could think of was the difficult feeling in the water, and she couldn't remember the rest.
"Yes, we came out, came out alive." Yun Ling helped Jian Ning up and said with a smile.
When I sat up, I saw the pom-pom curled up and sleeping beside me, and the hair on my body was completely dry, but it was already very dry.
"What about them?" Without seeing Xiahou Yan and Long Zeye, Jian Ning asked strangely.
"I'm going to collect firewood." Yun Ling replied, "Although this place is very close to the Yuanchu garrison, it is also separated by a small mountain. The princess's clothes are still wet, and if she doesn't dry them over the fire, I'm afraid she'll get sick. ”
"Yunling, I need you to do me a favor now, it may be a little difficult, but now I can only ask you to do it." Jian Ning took advantage of the fact that the other two were no longer there, and immediately said to Yun Ling, "I hope that you will return to the Yuanchu military camp immediately, and after getting in touch with Senior Brother and Zijin, you can get a few fast horses, we need to rush back to Tianhua Mountain in three days." ”
"Three days? Why is the princess so anxious to go back all of a sudden? Yun Ling looked at Jian Ning strangely and said, "Not to mention whether the princess can get out now, it seems unlikely that she will rush back to Tianhua Mountain within three days." ”
Yun Ling sometimes even feels that the princess is more difficult to understand than the queen, although she can't guess the queen's thoughts, but the queen always has a reason to do things.
But the princess's behavior is always abnormal and strange, when they could go back to Tianhua Mountain before, the princess went to the battlefield, and now after experiencing a catastrophe, when she should have a good rest, the princess is in a hurry to return to Tianhua Mountain.
"Yunling, there are some things I can't explain to you, you just have to do what I say." Jian Ning said.
"Yes." Yun Ling couldn't disobey Jian Ning's order, and finally had to nod.
Sensing that Xiahou Yan and the others were about to come back, Yun Ling withdrew to do what Jian Ning had explained.
Seeing that Yun Ling was not there, although the two of them asked, Jian Ning coped with it.
Finding an opportunity, Jian Ning took the pom-pom to the other side, and asked softly: "Hey, if I can't go back before the Nine Stars Alliance, won't I be able to go back?" If I can't go back, will something else happen? ”
But Jian Ning asked the pom-pom several times in a row, and pushed its fat body several times, but she didn't receive any response.
"What are you doing here alone with a fox?" Long Zeye's voice sounded behind him, Jian Ning was startled, and sat on the ground with a pom-pom.
"Am I that scary?" Long Zeye looked at Jian Ning's appearance and asked with a dark face. (To be continued......)
