In the panic, he saw Jiang Yi holding Zhu Qiming tightly, Niu San and Ni Niang also came to his side, and Xu Gong abandoned the horse and flew to pounce.

The roaring torrent swept them more than ten feet away, and landed on a high ground, and the flood water receded, apparently not enough to wash them farther away.

No, no further! A few feet away, there is a cliff! To be precise, it should be a waterfall that has not been flowing for a long time, and if you look at the depth, it should be more than ten zhang high from the deep pool below.

On one side of the valley, where the torrents were already raging; On one side is a cliff, which is an insurmountable moat!

In front of everyone, the torrent had gathered enough water to rush to the cliff in the blink of an eye, crushing them to pieces!

"Cliff jumping!"

In Xu Gong's call, Jiang Yi picked up Zhu Qiming, ran a few steps, and jumped down.

"Hold your breath!"

As soon as Zhu Qiming reacted to Jiang Yi's command, he suddenly felt a tingling pain all over his body, and a chill suddenly hit him.

Suddenly, he felt that he was being half-held and moved in the cold water, and the water gradually warmed up, until his head and neck were separated from the pool water, and he opened his mouth to breathe greedily, and he realized how precious air is to people!

Jiang Yi held Zhu Qiming and swam towards a knife-like stone mountain opposite the deep pool, and Xu Gong, Niu San, and Ni Niang swam over one after another, surrounding the two.

Behind everyone, the torrent rushed down. At this moment, there is no poetic and picturesque meaning of "flying down 3,000 feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling for nine days", there is just the apocalyptic landscape of the desolate beast engulfing everything and destroying everything.

Finally swam to the side of the rocky mountain! Everyone held on to the stone wall and just took a few breaths, when they saw the water in the pool rise sharply, the waves rolled, and the huge flood dyed a pool of clear water with the color of flooding, spitting foam, wrapped in debris, and rushing towards the waterway on the right.

The water became more and more rapid, and everyone exerted enough strength to hold on to the smooth stone wall and not be swept away by the torrent.

"If you don't find a place to stabilize yourself, sooner or later you will be swept away by the flood!" Niu San sighed.

Looking at the smooth, steep stone wall in front of them, everyone had no hope of escaping this place anytime soon, and all of them looked worried and nervously searched for a place to stay.

Ni Niang's eyes lit up, "Look, there's a hole over there!" ”

Everyone looked at Ni Niang's gaze and saw that there seemed to be a wide hole on the side of the waterway, which was covered by the stone wall, and it was not real, only a few zhang away.

Xu Gong replaced Jiang Yi, half-hugged Zhu Qiming, next to the stone wall, and cautiously moved towards the entrance of the cave.

The distance was only a stone's throw away, but the five of them groped for a long time in tension. The place that looked like the entrance to the cave finally appeared in front of me.

Hey, really a hole! Raise your eyes and see that the entrance of the cave is not small, about more than a zhang high, two zhang wide, there is a layer of shallow water at the bottom, and naturally the flood overflows. The space inside the cave is large, and the light flashing in the depths of the cave can be touched by the eyes through the dim place not too far away.

Could it be that there is another exit inside?

Xu Gong carried Zhu Qiming into the entrance of the cave, and a group of five people stepped on the shallow water one after another, walking to the depths of the cave, until the large bright light reflected the faces of the five people very clearly, they did not stop.

Looking up, there was a small blue sky above, and a beam of sunlight shone obliquely, instantly implanting the hope of escaping from danger in their minds.

However, the bottom of the cave should be nearly ten zhang high from the top of the cave, and it is surrounded by knife-like steep walls.

"Alas!"

I don't know who sighed, so the five of them hung their heads one after another.

The flood continued to rise, and within a single stick of incense, the water in the cave had reached the neck of Jiang Yi, the tallest, and the other four people floated on the water one after another, each holding on to the cave wall to stabilize their figures. Jiang Yi probably felt stuffy in the water, so he held on to the cave wall with one hand and let his body float.

The flood water seemed to have stopped rising, and the figures of the five people were floating in a fixed place, in a dilemma.

Ni Niang looked up at the top of the cave again, with a helpless face, "If the flood waters recede, we can find a path in the stream and escape to the heights; If it continues to rise, sooner or later we will emerge from the top of the cave, and we can find a safe place to stay. But this flood rises and does not rise, retreats and does not retreat, and traps us here! ”

Zhu Qiming suddenly remembered Liang Gang, "If Master Liang can come here to rescue us, it would be good!" ”

Ni Niang pouted, "Your Highness's martial artist may be hiding somewhere to talk in his dreams!" ”

Niu San grinned, "That's it, that's it!" ”

Xu Gong's gaze swept over Niu San and Ni Niang's faces, looking dazed, and sighed after a while, "It's all this time, and you still have the leisure to entertain Master Liang?" Ridiculous! ”

Zhu Qiming suddenly felt a faint pain on his back, thinking that it was an old wound, so he wanted to tell Xu Gong to look at the injury for himself, and seeing that everyone was embarrassed after fleeing, he endured it, swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and then turned his head to look at Jiang Yi, "Jiang Baihu, how is your injury?" Don't get water on the wound! Alas, I forgot that you have already soaked in water. ”

"Hey, hey, Your Highness, it's okay!"

Xu Gong used his hand hard, pulled his body close to Zhu Qiming, "It must be the thieves who cut off the water flow in the upper reaches of the valley and hoarded a huge amount of floods, I am afraid they have already calculated it, in their calculations, even if we are not burned to death by the fire in the cave and escape by luck, we will be swallowed up by the torrent!" ”

Zhu Qiming was shocked in his heart, and immediately realized that his suffering was far from over!

His thoughts quickly fell to the situation at this moment, "Xu Qianhu, there are only six of us together, but the thieves attack with both fire and water, indicating that the thieves only want to outwit us, Xu Qianhu might as well think about it, why is this?" ”

"They don't have enough people." Xu Gong hesitated.

"Not bad!"

Seeing that Zhu Qiming agreed with Xu Gong's reply, Ni Niang nodded again and again, "Also, it is impossible for the team to find us over the mountains and mountains, and there must only be a small number of elite soldiers who can get here!" ”

Elite soldiers? Although Ni Niang's words may not have a definite object, Zhu Qiming suddenly found that the title of "elite soldier" was very credible.

He shook his head and looked at the top of the cave. The roof of the cave seems to have two floors, and the bottom layer is apparently surrounded by a circle of platforms, and behind the platform is another layer of cliffs, the upper of which has several openings.

"If the thieves find this place, we are afraid that we will not be able to escape!"

The four adults looked at Zhu Qiming together, their eyes full of uneasiness.

The crowd waited in silence, the water was slowly descending, and they saw that the flooded entrance was gradually revealed, and their hands on the wall were moving down repeatedly, and finally they simply stood upright, and the water was only up to their knees.

Niu San grinned, "Hey, the flood is receding, as long as the stone mountain doesn't collapse, we can leave in a while." ”

As the words fell, a loud roar was heard, accompanied by a slight shaking, and the entrance suddenly collapsed, and at a glance, the reflection of the swaying water surface reflected a pile of rocks, which closed the entrance.

Ni Niang turned her head in annoyance, "Niu Baihu, crow's mouth!" ”

"Remove these abominable stones, and we will get out!"

Niu San ran forward angrily and struggled to remove a boulder, but unexpectedly, the roar sounded again, and a boulder fell from the top of the entrance.

"Come back quickly, do you want to murder Your Highness!"

In Xu Gong's shouting and reprimand, Niu San rushed back, hurriedly stood still, and came back to his senses after a long stunned moment, with a panic on his face, "Could it be that the mountain demon is doing the trick?" ”

Jiang Yi snorted coldly, Ni Niang sighed lightly, Xu Gong shook his head, Zhu Qiming was speechless, and they all regarded Niu San as an alternative.

The cave returned to peace, and everyone raised their eyes one after another to look overhead, which was the only way for them to escape from danger!

The sunlight shone in and shone obliquely on the stone wall, forming a bright pillar of light, which reflected a faint mist, and several unknown flying insects spread their wings and hovered there.

Ni Niang was soaked and hidden in the dark, obviously not wanting people to see his bumpy figure. The other four were all in the bright place, Xu Gong was still so serious, and his face was clearly defined; Niu Sanyuan opened a pair of big eyes, dazed; From the side, Jiang Yi's eyelashes are very long, which casts a soft color on his rugged appearance.

And Zhu Qiming was fixed there, although his face was a little tired, and his clothes were soaked in water and deformed, but this did not affect his good appearance as a young man, his clean face seemed to be glowing with a faint light, and his bright eyes showed a faint melancholy, revealing a picturesque artistic conception.

The stagnant water under the feet has receded, leaving only countless shallow puddles, reflecting the reflection of the blue sky.

Suddenly, there was a soft sound from the top, and then a black shadow was reflected on the stone wall, and the black shadow became bigger and bigger, and finally covered half of the pillar of light.

"Boom!"

Several pieces of rubble fell from the platform, splashing water.

Looking intently, I saw a giant man taller and burier than Jiang Yi standing on the platform, holding a big bow, the arrow had already been wound, and the arrow was slowly moving towards the five people below, as if choosing a suitable target.

One only has to look at his head to see that he is a thief. The thief's eye sockets were sunken, and their eyeballs were hidden in the shadows, but the fierce light in their eyes pierced through the shadows and projected out, scorching the natural cage like a flame.

Behind the giant man, at some point, six other Tartar thieves appeared, all with scimitars at their waists and bows and arrows, fixed there and waiting.

The five people below did not have any chance to resist or escape, and even dodging was some kind of reckless move, which provoked the Tartar thieves, but they were afraid that they would pour oil and set fire to the bottom, so being slaughtered became an unavoidable doom for the five people!

An unfamiliar voice drifted from afar with three points of weirdness and seven points of chill.

"Hahaha······ If you don't know astronomy, you don't know the terrain, and you want to survive in the wilderness? Dream! ”
