Under the pressure of the monsters, there is only one path we can choose, retreat to the cave behind us.

However, when I stepped in, I found that the ground was full of slime.

This seems to be the lair of those monsters.

What awaits us......

More than a dozen monsters, parked at the entrance of the cave, always kept a certain distance from us. If we don't move forward, it seems like they'll never come close. In order to survive, we can only keep retreating. Surprisingly, they ended up only walking to the outside of the hole, forcing us into it and not following up.

"What the hell do you mean, do you really just want us in?" I was puzzled.

At this moment, the monsters guarding the entrance of the cave suddenly let out a strange roar, and then, all disappeared from our field of vision, and then, the entrance of the cave shook.

I realized something and ran two steps forward, but immediately a boulder landed not far from my feet and nearly hit me!

When I wanted to get around the boulder and take a look at the outside of the cave, I was grabbed by a hand!

"You're crazy! Do you want to be stoned to death, or do you want to be killed by those things out there?! No more dead people! ”

It's Guan Hao.

While he was pulling me, more and more boulders fell, and the entrance to the cave was completely sealed.

I frantically pushed the boulder in front of me, but it was useless, there were too many of them, too heavy, and the path was impossible to open unless explosives were used. And just now, I was really impulsive, if it wasn't for Guan Hao holding me, maybe I would have been buried under this pile of boulders.

After a few seconds of calm, I lowered my hand, "Looks like that's what they're for." ”

It's not about eating, it's not about killing, it's not about laying eggs in our bodies, it's just about sealing us up in this cave. So, thinking of this, I turned around and looked at the endless darkness behind me, what would be in this?

"Brother Guan, uncle, what now?" Yao Qianwen helped Ruan Nana and came to us.

The entrance has been blocked, and we can't wait here forever. In this deep mountain, it is impossible to wait for rescue in a short time, and even I think it will never be. So at the moment, there is only one way, and that is to follow the dark cave and keep moving forward.

However, there may also be unknown, more dangerous things.

"Let's go inside, we can't stay here all the time, maybe there's a way out inside!" Guan Hao looked at me.

He's right.

The materials are all on the thin man's body at the moment.

He opened his backpack and had food, as well as some tools for the expedition, including a survival knife that could be used as a weapon, a multi-purpose survival stick. In fact, there should have been more supplies, but unfortunately on the way to escape, most of them were lost, including medicines.

We allocated the only remaining resources, the knife and stick were in the hands of me and Guan Hao, the two of us were responsible for opening the way, there were three flashlights left, I held one, responsible for pathfinding and lighting, and the remaining Yao Qianwen and the thin man each had one. The food backpack was handed over to the couple girl, and she and Yao Qianwen supported and took care of Ruan Nana by the way, and the thin man walked at the end of the line, responsible for leaving markers along the way.

At this time, I just learned that the skinny man was called Guan Dawei, and the couple girl was called Xia Nan.

We began to explore forward, the cave was very deep, and the light of the flashlight never reached the end, and because of this, the hearts of each of us were hanging all the time, and in this way, after about half an hour, the light in front of us finally hit an obstacle, like a huge stone.

We quickly approached the stone, only to find that the stone in front of us had split the original passage in two, and became two paths.

"Two?" Yao Qianwen helped Ruan Nana, walked forward a little, and came to me and Guan Hao, "What should I do?" Which way do we go? ”

I don't like to do multiple-choice questions.

But you can't do it all.

I tried to walk towards one of the passages, and as before, there was still a lot of sticky liquid under my feet, and there was darkness as far as the eye could see.

On the other side, it's the same.

In that case, let's choose one at random, we can't always hesitate here.

"Then go this way, and if it doesn't work, come back." I chose the one on the right, which is my habit.

But just as I was about to walk in, Guan Hao stopped me again: "Wait, let's go another way." ”

"Why?" I wondered.

"It's nothing, it's just a gut feeling, and my gut tells me that the one on the left might be lucky."

"I can't believe your instincts." I thought about the monster this guy had stoned at those monsters, angering them and nearly killing me.

"Rest assured, two roads, we won't get lost no matter what. Like you said, if this path doesn't work, try another one. But Guan Hao seemed to have decided on his choice, and after speaking, he directly took the flashlight in my hand, carried the survival stick, and walked to the cave on the left.

I had no choice but to follow and continue to walk forward, and I noticed that Guan Hao took out a notebook from his backpack. I looked side by side with him, in the faint light, and there seemed to be no text on it, a blank notebook. Next, Guan Hao began to use a pen and drew a short vertical line at the bottom of the page.

The top of the vertical line is angled, splitting off another line that extends like the left side.

"You're recording the route we take?" I asked.

Guan Hao nodded and put away the notebook, "Well, in case we get lost." ”

"Guan Hao, you are very interesting." I was still walking slowly, but slightly faster than before, to get a little more distance from behind.

Guan Hao sensed my intentions, and his speed remained the same as mine, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"You've been here, haven't you? Or rather, you know something about this cave. But...... You're not going to say it to us. ”

"It's my first time here, and I don't understand what you're saying."

"Really? So, who told you that this cave is a labyrinth? ”

Guan Hao paused for a moment and immediately denied it: "I didn't say it's a labyrinth!" ”

I looked into his dodgy eyes: "If I were here for the first time and came across such a passage and planned to record it, I would probably use my brain at first, after all, it was a straight road just now, and I wouldn't find it complicated." But if I'm a very steady, careful person, then I might probably use paper, like this face-sized page, to record the route, and I would probably draw a line that takes up one-third or one-quarter of the whole paper. But what about you? On the same piece of paper, you only used less than a centimeter to mark the passage just now, why? To save paper? ”

“……”

Guan Hao didn't speak, but I heard his breathing.

"So, you already know that it's big, or approximate size, the distance of the passage, and it's going to have the next passage, right?"
