Chapter 68: Escape from the Devil's Cave

The fat bird's fire-breathing performance was too exciting, and while the fat man and I were deeply moved, our impression of it also changed greatly, and I no longer dared to doubt that it was an ancient divine beast Bi Fang, but the fact that the Tao was sealed.

At the moment, although the man-eating monster had been burned to the ground, and the fat man and I were both thirsty, no one dared to go to the pool to get water to drink, and wondered if there would be one or a group of people hidden in it.

This is a dangerous place, and we naturally don't dare to stay for long.

I pulled the hemp rope that had been lowered from the mouth of the dragon's stalactite cave, and it was supposed to be tied to a rock or something sturdy, and it was very strong.

I took off the T-shirt on my body and tore it to make a simple strap, carefully put the unconscious fat bird into it, carried it on my back, and then climbed up the hemp rope with the fat man.

The cave was still pitch black, with only a faint glow casting out of nowhere. It is a straight road that leads diagonally upwards, and is more than a meter wide in diameter, just enough to accommodate an adult.

The walls of the cave are all hard, cold and stalactite stones, which appear a faint milky yellow color in the twilight and are relatively smooth.

Thanks to the fact that these stones are not sharp, I am afraid that we would have lost our lives by the time we fell, and turned into a pool of flesh and blood.

I don't know how long we climbed, and when we felt like our arms were cramping, we finally crawled out of this cave. Suddenly there was a big patch of slippery, pliable moss in front of him.

The light also brightened, and I saw that the moss was a dull green, irregular oval shape, like a huge pebble.

When touched by hand, its surface is relatively rough, and a few faint streams condensed from the cracks in the stone continue to pour out from the moss, trickling quietly and falling, making a ticking sound......

When I saw this moss, my whole spirit was lifted, and I couldn't help but feel more confident.

According to the feeling of falling before, we should have fallen straight down, changed direction after the ejection of this moss, and finally fell into the cave.

In other words, as long as we see this moss that saved our lives, the distance from the ground is not far away.

Besides, the fat man and I need water the most now, and if we persist, we may all die of dehydration, although the water in the stone crevices on this moss is not much, but at least it can quench our thirst.

I beckoned to the fat man under the rope, wrapped one hand and one foot tightly around the twine, freed the other hand and foot, and carefully stepped on the moss-covered oval stone, and used my hand to catch the water in the mossy crevice.

This water doesn't seem to be much, but it is actually quite abundant, and within a few seconds, a hand full of clear water came out of his hand. What it's like to have a long drought and a rainy day, I can be considered to have thoroughly experienced it.

I don't know what kind of water this water is, it is unusually clear and sweet, and it is even better than my favorite Master Kong iced black tea. I drank one handful after another, and I was so happy that I felt like my whole body was alive.

As the light improved, I looked at the moss-covered boulder and realized that the boulder below was not the abyss I had imagined, but a hard stone floor.

Hey! Why did I know I was going to work so hard? I was much bolder, and I jumped under the boulder, and yes, the boulder was hard and stable.

The fat man protested below, saying that he was about to collapse, and I hurriedly pulled him up, and the two of them were not polite, just hugged the moss, put their faces on it and drank it.

I am afraid that only those who have experienced water scarcity can truly appreciate how precious water is. The fat man and I drank so much until we felt like our whole body was full of water, and we couldn't stop pouring it any longer.

Leaning against the boulder, he rested for a while before continuing to climb.

With the replenishment of water and rest, the climb up has become much easier. After about ten minutes, we finally climbed to the surface and groped our way out of the cave that had fallen into the ground.

The rain had stopped, and it was dusk.

The sky in the twilight was like washing, and a few small stars as small as mosquitoes and flies couldn't wait to poke their heads out.

The mottled rocks under your feet and the pine forest in the distance are so vivid and clear that they don't seem to be real, and they are like a picture scroll.

The fat man's phone has long been left behind, and although my phone is in my trouser pocket, the screen has been shattered during this adventure, but fortunately it can barely be used.

I opened the map and set a position, only to find that we had unknowingly run far away from the Long Manor, nearly ten kilometers to the west.

Walking back, I guess it will take some time, but that's not the main thing.

I discussed with the fat man, and no one could say for sure whether that group of Taoist priests still had accomplices, and with our current state, if there was another encounter, I am afraid that we could only be captured and obediently thrown into the alchemy furnace for cremation.

For the sake of safety, I called Long Wenyu, explained his location in detail, asked him to arrange more people to pick us up, and also explained Lao Jiang's situation and asked him to send someone to rescue.

Long Wenyu's voice was very excited, he said that Lao Jiang had been rescued a long time ago, except for a few skin injuries, there was no major problem now, but my and the fat man's mobile phones were outside the service area, and he couldn't get through, so he couldn't rest assured.

Since we are fine, it is a blessing, Long Wenyu asked us not to move, and he immediately sent someone to pick us up.

I was relieved to learn that Lao Jiang was fine, and I waited with the fat man for about an hour, and a small dot flew above my head, hovering constantly.

In the pine forest in the distance, there was a strong light flashlight swaying, and the voices of people were boiling, and we were nervous, afraid that it was the enemy, so we hurriedly hid in the stone cave to peek.

It wasn't until we heard the crowd shouting our names and saw that it was Lao Jiang, whose head and hands were wrapped in a thick layer of white gauze, that he was relieved and came out.

Lao Jiang trotted all the way over, hugged me and the fat man tightly, we didn't speak, but each other's faces were moved, and there was a lot of sympathy for the rest of the disaster.

What do I say, come out and mix, righteousness is the most important thing!

With more than 20 heavily armed bodyguards to escort us, and even a drone overhead that took full shooting to navigate, our group naturally returned to Long's Manor safely.

The fat man and I took the fat bird to the bed to rest, took a good bath, changed our clothes and had a full meal, and then told Long Wenyu what happened.

Of course, we can't say that the man-eating monster in the cave waterhole was burned to death by the fat bird, which is too mysterious, but the fat man added oil and vinegar and attributed the credit to me.

Finally, I don't forget to add: eliminate harm for the people and benefit one party!

Hearing this, Long Wenyu was amazed, and the admiration for me in his eyes was like a surging river.

As for the question of why those Taoist priests chased and killed us, it made me a little difficult to explain.

It was inconvenient for us to tell Long Wenyu that it was caused by swallowing the Demon Tree Neidan, so we talked nonsense that it was because those Taoist priests collected incense money indiscriminately and sold fake medicines.

The so-called close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, and I have been with the fat man for a long time, and I found that my ability to brag and pretend to beep has simply made a qualitative leap, and I can not blink my eyelids.
