Chapter 1 (1)

Li Tianran straightened up, but he still felt incomparably painful all over his body! He tried to stretch, but luckily he didn't break his bones! But as soon as he raised his hand, his hand "snapped" and hit the wall above his head, Li Tianran reached out and groped again, it turned out that there was really only one person above it, Li Tianran didn't dare to hit it harder, he fell from here, in case it penetrated here, it was a huge deep pool on it, and it would be a disaster if the water rushed down!

This should be an artificially built cave, when Li Tianran touched the top just now, the wall was unusually smooth, except for wet bricks and moss, this is not like a natural formation, but now the hole is pitch black, there is no light, except for the huge noise where Li Tianran fell into the water just now, there is no movement, and he can't judge what kind of place this is for a while.

Li Tianran turned his back to the water and tried to walk forward, if this place was really artificially built, then there should be walls on the left and right sides. As Li Tianran expected, he walked just two or three steps away, and he had already touched the wall next to him, judging from the feeling of touching his hand, it was consistent with the top, the wall was a little damp, Li Tianran tried to push a few times hard, and knocked a few times with his hand, the wall was very solid, judging from the sound, the wall should be an entity, and there was no space behind the wall.

Li Tianran hurriedly groped around himself, he wanted to find the fire lead, it was dark at the moment, not to mention looking for Li Boyu and Xiaoluo, I am afraid that even if he stayed for a long time, he would feel at a loss! But Li Tianran didn't find it for a long time, and the objects on his body may have long disappeared with the impact of the cliff and the river, Li Tianran's heart couldn't help but sink, and he wanted to lean his body against the wall a little disappointed, so that he could rest against the wall for a while and then think of other ways. But as soon as he leaned up, he was pushed to the back by a hard object, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly flashed a step forward, and after waiting for a moment there was no movement, and then he reached out again tentatively and touched the hard object.

The hard object was inlaid on the wall, the size of a wine jug, cylindrical, hollowed, Li Tianran was curious about what it was, so he put his hand in it again... At what time, he was overjoyed that there was dry firewood in the hard object, and if it was expected, this should be a lamp! Li Tianran touched the tail of the lamp again, but he didn't find the fire lead! The lamp is there, but it can't be lit! Li Tianran thought about it, even if it was a man-made fortification, how could there be only one lamp? Li Tianran touched the wall and continued to walk forward, sure enough, just after walking seven or eight steps, there was another lamp, Li Tianran's guess was right, but unfortunately this lamp still did not have a fire lead, he continued to walk forward, and finally touched two flints and some dried leaves behind the sixth lamp! Li Tianran couldn't wait to light the lamp and carefully put away the flint.

The tunnel finally lit up, Li Tianran hurriedly looked around, it turned out that this was a narrow waterway with little space, and the place where he fell just now was the drainage canal on the side, judging from the materials of bricks and soil, it should be some years, and many places on the upper wall of the tunnel have seeped out water stains, and it seems that with a little external force, it seems that there is a possibility of collapse at any time.

Li Tianran didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly pulled a few shots from the firewood and tied a torch, and rushed all the way back. He didn't really go far from the place where he fell, but he did waste a lot of time groping in the dark. But at this time, the broken hole had already opened a big opening, and the water flow was getting bigger and bigger, Li Tianran didn't dare to approach, he was afraid that the entire tunnel was in danger of collapsing at any time! He shouted anxiously, "Brother! Xiaoluo! "But apart from the sound of water, there was no movement! He looked carefully along the river several times, but there was still no trace of the two of them!

Li Tianran began to panic, but suddenly his shoulder was tapped, he was startled at first, and then turned around with joy, but there was no one behind him! Li Tianran's face turned pale in an instant! He couldn't help but tremble: "Who? Don't pretend to be a ghost! As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped firmly on the back again, and he turned again, but it was still empty! Li Tianran's heart began to become inexplicably afraid! The back spine keeps starting to glow! He looked around vigilantly, but there was nothing to be seen! Could it be that there are ghosts?

But at the moment of hesitation, his back was hit hard again! He began to break down a little, he turned around in a panic and shouted, "Who? Who the hell is it? As he spoke, he unconsciously leaned in the direction of the canal! But there was still no movement in the tunnels! This tunnel is not big, and you can see it all at a glance as far as the fire can reach, but why is there nothing?

Suddenly! There was movement behind Li Tianran, and before he could turn around, he felt a hand reach out from the water and grab his ankle tightly! Li Tianran was shocked and shouted, "Who? At the same time he turned around and was about to kick it with his other foot, but as soon as his foot was lifted into the air, his joy came to him again! I saw a pale face floating in the water, it was Xiaoluo! Li Tianran was pleasantly surprised: "Xiaoluo! ”

He hurriedly squatted down and dragged Xiaoluo up from the ditch with all his might! At this time, Xiaoluo had already collapsed, and he must have used up his last bit of strength by grabbing his ankle with his hand just now! If it weren't for this fire in the cave, I'm afraid she wouldn't have escaped her doom! Xiaoluo was lying flat on the ground, trying to adjust her breath, Li Tianran helped her wipe the water, and said in a low voice: "Thank God for blessing!" Xiaoluo! It's great that you're alive! ”

Xiaoluo pursed her lips and smiled, she no longer had the strength to talk, she also suffered a lot of injuries all over her body, presumably the same as Li Tianran. Li Tianran carefully checked the injuries on her body, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, your bones are not broken!" Pranayama should be better for a while! Li Tianran looked at the weak Xiaoluo, and hurriedly asked, "Xiaoluo, have you seen my brother?" ”

Xiaoluo shook his head lightly and whispered, "No... I haven't seen it! ”

Hearing Xiaoluo say this, Li Tianrangang's joy suddenly disappeared, and he said in a low voice: "Xiaoluo, you rest for a while, and then I'll go find my brother!" ”

But just as he was about to get up, Xiaoluo grabbed Li Tianran and said softly: "Don't... Don't leave me! ”

Li Tianran said: "How could I leave you, I'm going to find my brother, and I'll be back immediately!" Feel relieved! ”

Li Tianran said this, but Xiao Luo suddenly grabbed it tighter, and continued: "You... Listen to me, if your brother is in the same situation as us, then he will definitely fall into here, there is such a big hole at the bottom of the pool, and he will definitely be sucked... Suck it in here, I... I'll accompany you along the way to find it. ”

Li Tianran thought about it for a while, and felt that what Xiao Luo said was also reasonable, so he reached out to help Xiao Luo on the ground, and walked along the direction of the channel flow together, but just after a few steps, Li Tianran's back was hit by something again! Li Tianran didn't turn around this time, but just said in a low voice: "Xiaoluo, you just hit me, right?" And the previous ones? ”

Xiaoluo was a little dazed by Li Tianran's inexplicable words, she slowly looked up at Li Tianran, and said, "I... When have I ever hit you? I just fell into the water, and when I saw a glimmer of light, I swam up and grabbed your feet, and the rest... I don't know! ”

Xiao Luo's words frightened Li Tianran's face white again, and he said in a trembling voice: "What... What the? Not you? Is that... Before he finished speaking, he was hit on the back again, and this time even Xiaoluo was beaten, and the two of them were shocked and quickly turned around!

But this time it was different from the emptiness just now, Li Tianran and Xiaoluo saw behind them clearly, and couldn't help but shout in fright! I saw a group of black pressed figures behind me, there were twenty or thirty of them! He was not tall, the size of a child of five or six years old, with a face that resembled a human, but it was a little different, with long black hair all over his body! Some of them were holding stones in their hands, while others were empty, staring at the two of them with fierce and fierce eyes!

Xiao Luo's eyes widened, and he said in a trembling voice: "This... What is it? Could it be ... Wild monkeys? When Xiaoluo said this, she also obviously felt that she was lacking in confidence, she had never seen such a big monkey since she was a child, and their faces did not look like monkeys, and their facial features looked more like "people"!

Li Tianran gasped, his body began to tremble a little, and he whispered: "Xiaoluo, we are in big trouble!" This thing has been recorded in ancient books, if it is good, I am afraid it is... Mandrill! ”

"Mandrills?" Xiaoluo repeated in a low voice, this name was the first time she had heard it.

Li Tianran continued: "This thing is only seen in books, and the world has not seen it, but it is a legend, but I never thought of it... ”

"They... Isn't it amazing? Xiao Luo asked in a low voice again.

Li Tianran said: "According to legend, they are monsters that have become spirits in the mountains, smarter than wild beasts, and can catch fierce beasts... It will even eat people! ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiaoluo was so frightened that she hid behind Li Tianran, she was bold and careful on weekdays, but after all, she was facing people, and everything was in the layout, but at this moment she couldn't help but panic!

Li Tianran stretched out his hand to protect Xiao Luo behind him, and comforted: "Don't be afraid! It's just a brute after all! It should be fine! As he spoke, he protected Xiaoluo and moved to the rear! The mandrills were also pressing forward step by step, but they only kept a certain distance and did not attack! Maybe it's just the calm before the storm ...

Li Tianran leaned over and picked up a piece of masonry scattered on the ground, and held it tightly in his hand for self-defense, but just as he leaned over, suddenly a stone smashed towards him, Li Tianran hurriedly dodged, but just halfway through, he found that the stone was not attacking him, but the torch in his hand...
