The inside of the stone crevices is pitch black, deep and damp.

Because there were no lighting tools, Yan Xiaoying and I got through the crack in the stone, but we didn't see anything, and we couldn't see our fingers.

Even though my body was remodeled with blood ginseng, my eyesight improved.

But no matter how good your eyesight is, you can't really get night vision.

In absolute darkness, you can't see anything.

There was water running under him, soaking most of his body, and strangely enough, the water that flowed from the depths of the stone crevices was actually warm.

Probably due to the geography of the area, this is a hot spring, and the temperature must be at least 30 degrees Celsius.

Because the water outlet of the stone crevice was narrow, Yan Xiaoying and I lay in it, blocking the water outlet, and the hot spring water accumulated more and more.

The whole person is immersed in the hot spring water, the pores are stretched, and most of the fatigue is gone, not to mention how comfortable it feels.

I'm a little strange, according to what Yan Xiaoying said, this stone crack is the entrance to the Demon General's Ancient Tomb, but how can there be a hot spring flowing out of the Demon General's Ancient Tomb?

The stagnant water did not reach my mouth, and my mouth was dry at this time, and I couldn't bear it anymore, regardless of whether this hot spring flowed from the ancient tomb or not, even if there were corpses soaked in the spring water, I couldn't care about it at this time.

I opened my mouth and drank several large sips of hot spring water in a row, and the whole person moaned out in comfort, and the feeling of a long drought and rain was really wonderful.

People who have never been thirsty will naturally not understand the uncomfortable taste of dry mouth.

After drinking a few sips of hot spring water again, I felt that even the hunger pangs had dissipated most of the time, and the whole person's spirit was also lifted.

"Tianyan, what's wrong with you?"

Crawling in front of me, hearing my moaning, he immediately stopped and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, this hot spring water can be drunk I tried it just now, it's sweet, it shouldn't be poisonous." I responded.

"Oh!"

Yan Xiaoying responded, because of the darkness, she couldn't see what her expression was at this time.

A few seconds later, hearing the former drinking water, I couldn't help but grin and ask, "What does it taste like?" ”

"It's okay!"

Yan Xiaoying answered, suddenly handed a rope to my head, and said in a low voice: "The darkness here can't see the five fingers, and I don't know what the situation is, in order to avoid getting separated, you tie the corpse rope around your waist, and I will tie it too, so that if something happens to either party, it will be easy to rescue." ”

"But, then, aren't you without a weapon?" I said.

"It's okay, and with my current physical strength, I can't dance this corpse rope." Yan Xiaoying said.

"Okay then."

I took the rope, and according to Yan Xiaoying's words, I tied one end of the rope around my waist, and the two of them took a short break and continued to climb into the deep cracks of the stone.

At first, we felt very comfortable in the hot springs, but after climbing more than 10 meters, the surrounding space was still very narrow, and with the heat upwell, we gradually felt a little stuffy.

It was a feeling of lack of oxygen, and the cramped space caused a sense of oppression in people's hearts, which made people feel even more uncomfortable.

"Xiaoying, how are you? Okay? ”

Seeing that Yan Xiaoying's crawling speed in front was full, I chased after her and touched her calf, and asked out loud.

"It's okay......"

Yan Xiaoying replied and continued to crawl forward.

In fact, it is very difficult to crawl on the ground, although the water in this stone crevice is not fast, but after all, we are going against the water, and there is still resistance.

In this case, it is even more difficult to climb deep into the stone crevice.

I was worried about Yan Xiaoying's body, so I reached out to support the soles of her feet and asked her to climb forward with her strength, but Yan Xiaoying didn't say anything about it.

After crawling about thirty meters in the direction again, there was a sudden sound of paddling in front of him, and then Yan Xiaoying's voice sounded: "Tianyan, be careful, I crawled out of the crack in the stone, here seems to be a spring pool gushing out from the depths of the ground, I don't know how deep it is......"

I answered, and after crawling forward for a distance, I really fell into a waterhole, and Yan Xiaoying next to me grabbed the stone wall to stabilize her body.

The temperature of the water in the pool is somewhat high, at least 40 degrees Celsius or more.

Because of the darkness, I couldn't see the surrounding situation clearly, so I relaxed and asked Yan Xiaoying, "What now?" Without lighting tools, we are simply no different from a blind man here? In this case, not to mention finding the second master, it is difficult to even take one step at a time...... Why don't we go out? ”

"If you didn't want to come in, why didn't you say it sooner? Now that we're all in, we can't just go out without doing anything, right? Yan Xiaoying complained rarely.

She paused, and then said, "When I used to practice with my grandmother, I was locked in a small black room for more than three months and didn't see the light. ”

With that, she slid the current and swam in a certain direction.

The rope around my waist quickly tightened, and I took a deep breath and swam in Yan Xiaoying's direction.

After swimming about seven or eight meters, when my arm stretched forward, I suddenly touched a hard stone wall, touched the rope tied to my body, and found that the rope extended to the rock wall.

"Xiaoying, are you ashore?" I shouted at the top of my throat.

"Well, the rock wall is not high, I don't have the strength to pull you up, you can climb up by yourself." Yan Xiaoying's voice came from overhead.

Hearing her voice, I relaxed most of my nervousness, clasped my hands on the rock wall, and rolled over and climbed up.

When I got ashore and stood firm, I tentatively reached ahead and felt for fear that there would be an obstacle or something in front of me. Unexpectedly, this stretch of hand suddenly touched a person's body, and through the clothes, I felt that there was a lump of meat inside the clothes, like a bun, very elastic, and it felt very good......

"Smack!"

Before I could fully figure out which part of the human body it was, I heard a whistling sound in my ears, followed by a pain in my cheek, and I was unceremoniously slapped by the other party.

In the darkness, I only heard Yan Xiaoying's angry voice sounding in front of him: "Lao Tianyan...... You...... What are you messing around...... You're shameless......"

I was stunned, reached out and rubbed my beaten cheek, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't touch it, isn't it that I can't see anything?" You say that a blind person walks, who doesn't reach out first to find out if there is an obstacle in front of him? How did I know you were right in front of me? ”

"Just grab the rope tied around your waist, I'll explore the way ahead, and if there is a pit or an obstacle, I will naturally tell you, so I can reach out and touch it?" Yan Xiaoying scolded angrily.

"Isn't it just to touch it, and there won't be a piece of meat, so you need to be so angry?" I complained in a low voice, fortunately, Yan Xiaoying's body was poisoned by centipedes, and her strength did not recover, otherwise the slap just now might have swollen my face.

But...... I thought back to the feeling I had just made, and finally understood which part of her body I touched.

"Humph!"

Yan Xiaoying snorted coldly, as if she didn't bother to entangle with me on this matter, and said coldly: "Be careful, follow me well." ”

"Can you still hold it up?" I asked with concern.

"Okay...... Can you take care of it? ”

"Oh......"

To be honest, in an absolutely dark environment, it will cause an invisible sense of oppression in people's hearts, as well as a sense of crisis.

No matter how strong your own strength is, if you suddenly lose your sight and can't see, you will definitely panic and be overwhelmed, which is a kind of psychological pressure.

That's what I'm like now.

It's hard to explain that feeling in words, and I'm sure many people have played the game "Blindfold and Fish" as a child.

Imagine what it would be like when you were blindfolded and taken to an unfamiliar environment. You may be able to understand how I feel right now.

But I'm okay now, at least Yan Xiaoying is by my side, if she doesn't have her, I'm alone...... It's hard to imagine.

Fortunately, I didn't get in alone before, otherwise I might not even be able to climb out of the way back when I walked here......

"Xiao Ying...... What do we do now? I asked Xiaoying.

"You stand still and don't move, I'll see what's going on around you." After Yan Xiaoying gave me an order, she walked out.

I didn't know what she was doing in the dark, only the sound of her footsteps and the sound of something tapping.

After about five or six minutes, the rope tied to my waist was suddenly pulled, and I heard Yan Xiaoying call out to me, "Tianyan, come here quickly." There seems to be a ring on the ground, maybe a stone door, I don't have enough strength, you can come and try it and see if you can pull it open. ”

"Wouldn't it? How can there be a door on the earth? It can't be a trap or something, right? As I spoke, I followed the rope in the direction of Yan Xiaoying.

"It shouldn't be a trap, if it's a trap, I'll fall when I stepped on it just now!" Yan Xiaoying said.

I came to Yan Xiaoying, stretched out my hand and groped on the ground, and sure enough, I felt a cold iron ring, and immediately took a horse step, and after Yan Xiaoying moved away a little, I began to pull the iron ring up hard.

I tried my best to finally pull up the hoops one by one, and in the darkness I could only hear the sound of a clattering like a mechanism, and when I pulled the hoops up half a meter high, I could no longer pull a single bit.

Reaching out and groping, he found a large iron chain connected to the iron ring, which went deep into the underground rock wall.

It's not a stone gate, and I don't know what the iron chain connected to this ring does? I tried again, but I couldn't pull anymore and had to give up.

"When you pulled the hoop just now, there was movement around you, like the sound of a mechanism activating." Yan Xiaoying reminded me.

The two of them stood still, holding their breath and listening for a while, but nothing happened.

I wondered, "Isn't this ring just for exercise?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the movement just now must have activated some mechanism or secret door or something, you stay well, I'll check around."

She said and groped around again, and after a few minutes, she walked up to me and whispered: "The space of this place is not very large, only about ten square meters, three rock walls, behind it is a spring pool, except for a ring on the ground, there are no other strange things, and the existence of a secret door has not been found for the time being......"

"That's not right, just now the two of us obviously followed the golden rooster in, you said that this place is so small, if the golden rooster is still inside, we must be able to hear its movements...... There must be another way out here......"

"Maybe, but it's a pity we don't have lighting tools on us, otherwise we wouldn't have to be so troublesome!"

Yan Xiaoying paused and said, "No way, let's go down to the spring pool and explore if there is a way out in other directions...... I don't believe that the golden rooster will disappear out of thin air. ”

I nodded in response, and behind me was the location of Quantan, and without waiting for Yan Xiaoying to walk back, I took a step forward and groped away.

touched the edge of the rock wall, but turned over and was about to go down, when Yan Xiaoying followed, and suddenly said: "Something is wrong, the sound of the water seems to have disappeared......"

"What ......"

I was puzzled, and I just wanted to ask, but my feet suddenly slipped, and the whole person suddenly fell forward.

There was a spring pool in front of me, and I wasn't too nervous at the moment of falling, and I was ready to fall into the water.

However, to my surprise, after falling a few meters, it has not yet fallen into the water, and the water level of the spring pool is much lower, and it may even have dried up......
