Xiao Ling desperately grabbed with both hands as he fell, and he didn't know how many branches he caught, but these branches were very fragile, and they broke one after another and fell down with him.

The cannibal that fell above had already been thrown far behind by everyone, and everyone didn't know how many branches they had fallen hundreds of meters along the way, crushed how many branches, and finally smashed into the mud one by one.

Falling from hundreds of meters above, everyone should have been spared, but fortunately a large number of branches were broken along the way, although these branches were rotten and could not withstand the impact of everyone falling, but they still greatly alleviated the impact of falling, and finally there was a large amount of mud below, and everyone smashed into the mud one by one, which further offset the impact of falling, so that everyone in the scientific expedition team escaped death by luck and did not fall from a high altitude and died.

Xiao Ling only felt that the bones all over his body seemed to be scattered, but after desperately climbing out of the mud, he realized what kind of mud was underneath, but countless multicolored mushrooms were piled up, and they fell into the multicolored mushrooms below one after another, these undead mushrooms were as soft as mud, and everyone fell into them, with the help of this mushroom mountain to buffer the impact and escape.

Xiao Ling let out a long breath, and found that the helmet had also fallen off, and when he looked up, he vaguely saw some multicolored phosphorescence flashing around, and a large number of branches were constantly falling from the air.

The mountain of mushrooms that piled up underneath was the one that had fallen from the undead tree before, and they piled up below, just saving everyone's lives.

Everyone struggled to get up from the mushroom mud one after another, only to find that on the mushroom mountain below, there were unbroken broken branches, and more branches were falling down, this scene was like the end of the world.

This immortal tree, which had survived for hundreds of millions of years, completely collapsed.

The main stem of the tree, which was not visible to the human eye in its entirety, was shattering, as if it had been completely charred, shattered into thousands of fragments, rolling down, burying everything below it.

Under the fright, everyone shrank down, not daring to make any rash moves for the time being.

Fortunately, although the mountain of broken branches completely buried the underneath, there were a lot of gaps in it, which was different from the silt and sand buried alive, so that everyone would not suffocate to death.

The loud rumbling sound outside was incessant, and the people buried below by a large number of branches listened to it in their ears, as if the sky was falling apart, and they were all terrified.

After a long time, the sound outside quieted down, and the undead tree completely collapsed, and under the abyss, there were all piles of mushrooms and broken branches with no end in sight, and fragments of the main pole of the undead tree that had shattered apart.

The crowd waited until there was no movement outside, and then slowly struggled to crawl out of the gaps in the stacked branches.

Although there are many branches pressed on it, fortunately, these branches have long been rotten and will be shattered and broken with a light force.

Without much effort, the group crawled out of the mushroom mud below.

Looking in all directions, it is endless darkness, I don't know what the bottom of this abyss is, and the top is even more black, and I don't know how high this abyss is.

Among the crowd, Xiao Ling was the first to crawl out.

Even after the accident, Xiao Ling felt that his emotions were slowly stabilizing, so that he would not panic as easily as he did at the beginning, he felt that there was inexhaustible strength in his body, and he fell down all the way, and he was not injured, and at this moment he crawled out from below, and easily pushed away the branches piled up above.

The camping backpack on his body was lost in the fall, but fortunately, he saw two camping backpacks not far away that he didn't know who had dropped them.

Xiao Ling grabbed one with one hand, this camping backpack was full of various materials, and the weight was not light, but he carried it in his hand, as light as nothing, pulled the two camping backpacks, and climbed out first.

Pull open one of the camping backpacks, find a camping lantern in it, turn it on, and shine it out in all directions.

The light of this camping lantern illuminates a wide area, but the penetration is weak, and it can only shine on the surrounding area with a diameter of about 20 meters.

With the help of the light, all Xiao Ling could see was a mountain of broken carbonized branches, black and gloomy.

Not far away, he saw a figure flickering, and soon saw that it was Sun Tao.

Sun Tao's helmet was also lost, his head was injured, and blood flowed down his forehead.

Xiao Ling took the camping lantern and hurriedly walked over, grabbed Sun Tao's arm, and pulled him out.

Sun Tao took a heavy breath, wiped the blood from his forehead, and began to call everyone's names loudly.

Soon, everyone climbed out from below one after another, heard Sun Tao's voice, and gathered here.

Seventeen people eventually gathered.

Everyone was more or less injured and looked embarrassed.

Zhou Kesheng counted the number of people, in addition to the dead team members, the archaeologist Wang Weiguo in the scientific expedition team was also gone, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Sun Tao led several team members to search for backpacks and equipment, and finally only found five backpacks, counting the equipment, the food and water in the backpacks were only enough to support everyone for two days, and a lot of powerful munitions were lost, especially a large amount of ammunition was lost, making the situation extremely grim.

Sun Tao's face was ugly, with the equipment that was left now, not to mention the man-eating beasts, even if that group of Komodo dragons came, they were afraid that they would not be able to deal with it.

Zhang Shuang died, the nanolocator was lost, and at this moment, everyone was afraid that they had gone at least two kilometers underground, and in this weird and terrifying underground dark world, it was almost impossible to return back the same way.

Especially in this abyssal cliff that is thousands of meters deep, the immortal tree has collapsed, and everyone can no longer climb out along the same path, which means that they can only find another way.

"Don't be discouraged, there is no endless way, there must be another way out here." Li Zhibao slapped his face, his voice was slow and calm, encouraging morale.

Perhaps it was his composure that infected everyone, and the mood of the people stabilized a little.

The undead tree was carbonized, this way fell, Hu Shengzhe's hands were blackened by the charred branches, he habitually wiped the sweat on his face with his hands, and his face suddenly became white, black, in the light of the camping lamp, it looked a little funny, but everyone couldn't laugh in their eyes, because everyone was almost embarrassed, not much better than Hu Shengzhe.

Hu Shengzhe looked at Zhou Kesheng and said, "Old Zhou, which direction should I go now?" ”

Zhou Kesheng beckoned to Xiao Ling and asked Xiao Ling to come to his side.

Xiao Ling came to him with a camping lantern, and when he saw Zhou Kesheng lighting the camping lantern, he took out the map and lifted it up.

Only then did Xiao Ling notice that this was not a map, but several maps superimposed on top of each other, but the paper was extremely thin, he hadn't paid much attention to it before, and had always thought it was just a map.
