223 underground lakes
() Cui Lie had long known that Rong Xian Xian was carrying space equipment with him, and he was acting with Rong Xian Xian, and he didn't bring anything else except his own weapons.
However, looking at the rappelling rope that Rong Xian Xian took out, Cui Lie was still a little surprised.
"Sister Rong, you even have a rappelling rope!"
"Isn't this a must-have for survival in the wild? Rock climbing, rappelling, or crossing a ditch and a bump are all used. Rong Xian Xian said in a natural tone.
Cui Lie said in his heart, that's right, if I carry a backpack, the rope must also be carried, but after all, you have been living in an urban greenhouse, how can you have the experience of surviving in the wild, and although the posture of this rappelling is unprofessional, it is smooth.
The two of them prepared and began to rappel, saying that they were rappelling, but in fact they couldn't get up fast, and the rock crevices were very narrow in some places.
"What do you think is usually underneath this kind of place?" Rong Xianxian took a flashlight and shone it downward, and asked Cui Lie in a low voice.
"It depends on the depth, and if it's deep enough, it's usually an underground river or a small underground lake underneath." Cui Lie said.
"If there really is an ice crystal tree here, it should be near a water source." Rong Xian Xian guessed.
When Rong Xian Xian and they descended about ten meters, they had not yet reached the end, the rock wall here was very narrow, there were sharp protrusions on both sides of the rock wall, the canine teeth were staggered, uneven, and the two of them protected the child in front of them and carefully passed through this area.
"Click, click." There was a rustling sound above the head, if there was any, sometimes near and sometimes far away.
"What sound?" Rong Xian Xian listened attentively.
"I didn't hear anything!" Cui Lie said suspiciously.
Rong Xian Xian and Cui Lie are stuck in the most precipitous place of the rock wall at the moment, I don't know what material the two rock walls are, and the protruding stones are hard and sharp, as if the irregular nail boards on both sides surround the two of them in the middle.
"Mom, I hear a whoop, it's down there." Xuanxuan lifted the lid of the small back basket and said.
Rong Xian Xian came back to her senses, let go of the doubts in her heart, and asked Xuanxuan to cover the lid of the small back basket, and continued to descend with Cui Lie.
Rong Xian Xian and Cui Lie walked through the narrow area, the space below suddenly opened up, the rock walls on both sides became smooth and steep, and the distance between the rock walls on both sides became wider and wider, Rong Xian Xian took a strong flashlight and shone it down, and found that the crack with a length of five meters and an average width of about thirty centimeters turned into a black rumbling abyss I don't know how deep it is.
Originally, the two of them, although they were tied to a rappelling rope, their feet were still stepping on the rock wall and walking down little by little, now, the rock wall was slippery, and their feet had nowhere to borrow, the two of them were hanging in the air, and their weight was supported by the rappelling rope on their heads.
"What's wrong?" Cui Lie felt Rong Xianxian's nervousness, and couldn't help but mention it.
"Rope, there's something wrong with the rope." Rong Xian Xian felt that the rope seemed to be bitten in half by something.
"Ahh Before Cui Lie could speak, Rong Xian Xian let out a short exclamation, his body was light, and he fell rapidly.
Cui Lie grabbed Rong Xianxian's wrist with his backhand and pulled her hard, "Sister Rong, hold on to me." ”
Rong Xian Xian used her other hand to cover the small back basket in her arms, looking at the broken rope, Rong Xian Xian felt uneasy, with Cui Lie's arm strength, it was not difficult to catch her, but since her rope was broken, Cui Lie's one was not safe.
"Bang" Cui Lie's body was crooked, and Rong Xian Xian followed him, and sure enough, this rope was about to break.
Rong Xian Xian bit her teeth, she untied the small back basket containing Xuanxuan on her chest, and sent it in Cui Lie's direction, "Ah Lie, catch Xuanxuan." ”
Cui Lie protected Xiao Luo in his arms with one hand and caught Xuanxuan with the other, Rong Xianxian's action just now accelerated the speed of the rope breaking, and in order to reduce the weight of the rope, Rong Xianxian let go of the hand holding Cui Lie.
There was a hula wind in his ears, and Rong Xian Xian fell like a kite with a broken string.
"Mom." Xuanxuan's tearing cry echoed in the space beneath the crack.
Rong Xian Xian used the move in "Wind Resisting Method" to buffer the downward trend, while calmly taking out the black beads from the sachet space, communicating the aura in the body, groping to turn on the switch, "bang" the black beads bounced open, forming a flying carpet, Rong Xian Xian controlled the flying carpet suspended in mid-air.
"Ah" Xuanxuan screamed, only to see that the rope used by Cui Lie was also broken, Cui Lie, Xiao Luo and Xuanxuan fell down together, Rong Xian Xian adjusted the flying carpet to the maximum mode, and flew over to catch them.
Cui Lie tightly covered the small back basket in his arms with one hand, and hugged Xuan Xuan with the other arm, the small back basket that Xuan Xuan had just been staying in didn't know where to throw it, Xiao Luo carefully pulled his head out of the small back basket in front of Cui Lie.
"Sister, are you okay?" Just now, Xiao Luo heard Xuanxuan's scream and asked worriedly.
Whoop flew over nowhere, and was circling Xuanxuan at this moment.
Xuanxuan covered her chest, her face was still a little white, her eyes were red, and there were two crystal tears hanging on her long eyelashes, she arched her head into Rong Xianxian's arms, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm fine." ”
The crisp chirping of a chirp echoed through the cracked space.
"Sister Rong, are you okay?" Cui Lie was keenly aware that Rong Xianxian's face turned pale.
"It's okay, don't worry." Rong Xian Xian had been in her throat since she had just been in free fall, until she calmly adjusted the flying carpet and accurately caught the three of them, her heart had just been put back in her stomach, and she was pounding non-stop at this moment.
Even if she had practiced the use of the flying carpet countless times before, Rong Xianxian couldn't help but be nervous, after all, it was related to the safety of the two children.
From the rappelling rope breaking, they were in free fall, to Rong Xian Xian catching everyone with a flying carpet, only a few seconds had passed, but they had already descended a long distance.
Rong Xian Xian took out a strong flashlight, went up and down, left and right, and glanced around, and below was a sparkling underground lake, surrounded by a slippery and sticky rock wall with green moss.
If it weren't for the flying carpet, they would have plunged headlong into the lake by now.
In the process of descending, they had gradually adapted to the faint light in the crack, and Rong Xian Xian carefully looked at the space left and right.
This space is in the shape of an irregular cone, and the underground lake is the bottom of this cone, and the higher you go, the narrower it becomes, the water of the lake is clear and deep, the water surface is calm, and there are only very smooth stone walls eroded by the current around the lake, and there are no ice crystal trees at all.
