Inside the cave, Ye Haiyang suddenly turned over and sat up.

"When?" Ye Haiyang asked.

"What, when?" Chen Yaodong, who was lying in the pile of gold, replied lazily.

"I ask you what time it is? What time is it? It must have been more than ten hours. ”

"Definitely, we've all spent the night here, I guess it's been more than twenty-four hours, I'm hungry for a long time, we should find a way, otherwise we'll starve to death before the rescue team comes, do you have anything to eat?"

Chen Yaodong also sat up.

Eat?

Ye Haiyang was not in the mood for this moment.

"I'm worried about my son, and I don't know what happened to him, so I'll go out and see."

Ye Haiyang got up and went to the cave to take a look, and came back not long after.

"If you can't get out, do you think those stones will move away on their own? Don't dream, your daughter will be fine, but it's time for us to think about how to feed our stomachs. ”

Chen Yaodong walked to the water's edge and stared at the water carefully, the golden light under the flashlight was shining a little dazzling, gold, pearls, gems, just lying in the water, if it was usual, even if it was yesterday Chen Yaodong would have jumped down, but at this time he was tired of seeing, and there were even hallucinations in front of him, these are not gold jewelry, but white and chubby buns.

Suddenly, a small shrimp swam out of the golden gap, the corners of Chen Yaodong's mouth rose to show a smile, and slowly stretched out his hand, and the moment his hand touched the water, the small shrimp disappeared into the gap in an instant.

"I'll go, your mother!" Chen Yaodong picked up a gold brick and threw it into the water.

"What's wrong? Don't you like gold? Ye Haiyang asked.

"Chicken feathers are gold, gold can be eaten as rice, it's shrimp, I saw a shrimp." Chen Yaodong took a handful of water and took a sip.

"Do you feel like the light is getting darker?" Chen Yaodong asked.

This Ye Haiyang really hasn't found it.

"Is there no fuel?" Chen Yaodong asked.

"It's impossible, how can it be, so much fuel can't be burned out."

"That's right, I'm suffocating, I'm about to explode."

Chen Yaodong exhaled and sat on the edge of the pool.

Stuffy?

Ye Haiyang took a deep breath, not to mention, his breathing was also a little dull.

Suddenly, Ye Haiyang thought of something, and his expression suddenly became nervous.

"No, it's not that the fuel is running out, it's that the oxygen is running out."

Not enough oxygen?

"Really? Don't scare me. Chen Yaodong stood up in fright and leaned in front of the flames.

The flames, which were more than a foot high, were now weaker than half, and the yellow flames had turned light blue, which was a sign of lack of oxygen.

"Yes, it's just that the oxygen is insufficient, don't look at the big cave, we ignited all the fuel before, consumed a lot of oxygen, and before we could replenish it, the cannibals blew up the hole, and the only bit of oxygen left in the past day is almost exhausted."

"I'll do it, isn't that suffocating before starvation, how long do we have left?"

"I don't think it will take more than twelve hours, half a day."

Half a day, only half a day left.

Now Chen Yaodong couldn't sit still anymore.

"Then what are you waiting for, go, follow me to move the stones."

The two of them trotted all the way to the cave again, and the stones that could not be moved were pried with guns, but even then they only moved a few small stones, and the boulders still blocked the passage, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not move.

After a long day, the two of them were tired and panting, and returned to the hall again.

"This won't work, I'm afraid we'll be exhausted if we don't wait for us to suffocate to death, the passage can't be opened, I'll see if there is any other way out, according to the plot in the adventure movie, there must be other exits to this cave."

Saying that, Chen Yaodong took a flashlight and checked it around, and the two of them walked half a circle on the left and right, except for stones or stones all around, this cave was completely eroded by limestone, and there was really no other exit.

"How so? Why is there no exit, is Lao Tzu really here? I haven't had time to take out so many treasures yet. Chen Yaodong sat down again with some frustration.

He gasped against the gold bricks, and the flashlight fell into the pool again.

Another small shrimp swam out, and Ye Haiyang hurriedly approached.

Chen Yaodong glanced at it and saw it, and said weakly: "Don't look at it, even if you catch it, how long can you live if you eat it, what we need now is oxygen, oxygen." ”

Oxygen, usually the most common and inconspicuous thing, has become a deadly weapon at this time, without oxygen it will not be long before they will be deprived of oxygen and have difficulty breathing, and a large amount of carbon dioxide cannot be replaced, resulting in a cerebral hypoxia coma, and eventually death.

This method of death is very painful, and the deceased often goes through a hellish process, comparable to dying of bleeding and shock.

Few people think about what will happen one day when they don't have enough oxygen, and they don't have to think about it.

But at this moment, Ye Haiyang and Chen Yaodong had to face this problem.

"Don't make a sound!" Ye Haiyang turned his head and glared at Chen Yaodong viciously, he lay on the water's edge, staring at the small shrimp in the water as if he had discovered a new continent.

Slowly, the corners of his mouth showed an excited smile, and he smiled more and more happily, even his teeth were exposed.

"What are you laughing at? Isn't it crazy? Chen Yaodong looked at Ye Haiyang with a puzzled expression.

Ye Haiyang continued to observe the shrimp as if he hadn't heard it.

Chen Yaodong shook his head speechlessly, and when he was about to remove the flashlight, Ye Haiyang reached out and snatched the flashlight, and leaned closer to the water to look more closely.

"You ......"

"Don't talk, look!" Ye Haiyang pointed to the small shrimp in the water and said.

Chen Yaodong thought that Ye Haiyang had made a new discovery, but when he got closer, it was exactly the same as the one he saw just now.

"It's just a very ordinary shrimp, is there anything strange? Besides, is there anything nice about this? Chen Yaodong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"No, look at this shrimp, isn't it special?"

Particularly?

"What's special? Isn't it your average shrimp? Chen Yaodong said.

"That's right, it's the river shrimp, that's what makes it special."

"What do you mean?" Chen Yaodong was confused, and he didn't understand what Ye Haiyang meant at all.

"What is this place?"

"O cave, cave full of treasures of gold."

"Yes, this is a cave, and it is at least a hundred meters away from the dammed lake outside, so what kind of river is this river?"

"Straight down, what the hell are you talking about? Can you get straight to the point? Chen Yaodong was a little anxious.

"Okay, I'll say it bluntly, the creatures that live in the cave, because they can't see the sun for a long time, these animals will be particularly white, and their eyes have even degraded for a long time, and the creatures in the underground river are like this, white fish, white crabs, white shrimp and aquatic creatures, but you look at this shrimp, its back is black, and it will only have such a color when it is exposed to the sun, that is to say, he swam in from a place where there is sunlight, it is estimated that it is a dammed lake, remember the legend of the cannibals? They say that all treasures are washed out by water, and the location of the crystal cave is significantly higher than this cave, and there is no trace of flowing water in the cave, do you know what I mean? ”

Chen Yaodong was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "I understand, you mean that this waterhole is with the outside, and those gold coins and jewels flow out of this waterhole." ”

"That's right, there must be a river down here, and as long as we find this passage, there will be hope of survival."

"Hahaha, why didn't I think of it, brother, you can." Chen Yaodong was overjoyed, patted Ye Haiyang's shoulder and laughed excitedly.

"Wait, you just said how far this cave is from the dammed lake? More than a hundred meters? That is to say, we have to swim more than 100 meters under the water, it is pitch black below, the terrain is completely unfamiliar, do you know how difficult it is to swim 100 meters in such a situation? How long can you hold your breath, two minutes is the limit, right? I'm afraid we'll drown in the underground river before we can swim out. ”

Chen Yaodong realized a very critical issue.

"No, no, no, things are not what you think, you just look at this cave, the typical karst landform, that is, limestone, this kind of mountain is very easy to erode, there will be a lot of cavities inside the mountain, there may be other parallel passages below, no matter what, we have to try, we can't wait here to die."

Ye Haiyang didn't care whether Li Chaoyang agreed or not, he jumped into the pool and scooped up the gold, silver and jewelry inside like garbage, and threw them on the shore at will.

Chen Yaodong gritted his teeth and jumped down.

No, you can't just die, you must live to bring the treasure out.

The waterhole was also eroded by limestone, and there was no mud in the water, so it was very easy to dig up, and it didn't take long for the two of them to dig out a big hole, and the gold on the shore was getting higher and higher.

Digging and digging, Chen Yaodong touched a boxy gold box, opened it and saw that there was a huge diamond ring inlaid inside, just one glance Chen Yaodong expected that this thing was worth at least millions, and stuffed it into his pocket without any hesitation.

There were too many gold coins in the pool, and the deeper it was, the harder it was to fish, so Chen Yaodong climbed up again and found several flower baskets inlaid with precious stones among the many gold objects, all of which had holes, and it was a great way to fish for things.

After several hours of busy work, the gold and silver objects more than two meters deep in the waterhole were fished out and piled up on the shore like small threes.

It can be seen that Chen Yaodong, who is not used to it, is very calm, except for the expensive and easy-to-carry gems, he disdains everything else, even so, Chen Yaodong's pocket is still full, and he piles these things on the shore when he is really packed.

After the water in the waterhole was clear, the two of them were pleasantly surprised to find that there was really a gap at the bottom of the water, and small fish and shrimp swam out of these holes.

Ye Haiyang went down to the water, and after groping for a while, he moved away from a stone at the entrance of the cave, and a stream of cold water rushed in from the outside in an instant, and then the water in the cave seemed to have been opened a big opening, and the water began to pour down at a visible speed.

The two people couldn't believe their eyes, they witnessed the disappearance of the waterhole, all the flowing water disappeared, and when they went down to the bottom of the waterhole, the two people found the secret of the waterhole, there is a sloping downward passage below, the slope is gentle, the waterhole is like a funnel that has been leaking, the dripping water on the stalactites and the leakage speed is about the same, which also causes this waterhole to remain full of water for a long time, no more and no less, the climbing ability of shrimp is not bad, and it can also climb out of the water to the ground, That's where they crawled in.

Chen Yaodong tilted his head and took a photo, the passage was tortuous and curved, pitch black, bottomless, and he could clearly hear the sound of dripping water below.

"Hahaha, it's done, we've really succeeded, Brother Ye, it's a pity that you don't do civil engineering, no, no, no, you should go on an outdoor expedition, it's too suitable for you, please." Chen Yaodong shouted excitedly, and while Ye Haiyang was not paying attention, he stuffed another sapphire into the seam of his clothes.

Ye Haiyang burrowed in, and Chen Yaodong quickly followed.

The long-term flow of water in the passage is particularly wet and slippery, the two people carefully walked forward along the channel for more than ten meters, and an underground river appeared in front of the two of them, the water level of this underground river is particularly shallow, and the fish swimming in the water can be seen shallowly, and some fish are surface fish at a glance, and the two people shouted excitedly.

"Fish, this fish Lao Tzu knows, piranha!" Chen Yaodong said loudly.

Ye Haiyang took a closer look, the water depth was less than ten centimeters, and the flow rate was slow, such a flow was very in line with the amount of water injected into the dammed lake, they must have gone the right way this time.

The piranhas here are much smaller than the piranhas in the river below, and if you look closely, you will find that they are not a species at all, the piranhas in the underground river are whiter in color, and they are much less daring than the piranhas below, and it is surprising how they managed to climb over many obstacles to get here.

The two of them went down to the water and continued to walk forward, the water of the underground river was covered with all kinds of gold and silver coins, and the flashlight swept away the golden light and was particularly dazzling, Chen Yaodong couldn't hold it, and he couldn't look down on these gold coins.

After walking for a few dozen meters, there was a sound of running water in front of them, and it seemed that it had come to an end, and the two of them couldn't help but speed up.

After a few roundabouts, the two men came to the source of the underground river, and in front of them was not the hole that the two men said they were looking forward to, but a gap through which all the water flowed.

This gap is only ten centimeters wide, more than a meter long, there are boulders up and down, the light shines in from the outside, there is no doubt that this is the exit, the gap is not big or small, just enough to get a person stuck.

Ye Haiyang tried to knock on the stones up and down, and tried a few times without moving.

The exit was in sight, but they couldn't get out.

Chen Yaodong pushed Ye Haiyang aside and kicked the gap a few times, but there was still no effect.

"Help, is there anyone, come on." Chen Yaodong shouted outside, kicked a few more times in annoyance, his movements were so big that he slipped and sat on the ground, grinning in pain. 、

"Don't waste your strength, it's useless, it's a whole piece of granite, and if you kick it like this, you will never be able to kick it open." Ye Haiyang said.

"What then?"

"Go back and think of something else."

"I don't believe it, open it to Lao Tzu!"

Chen Yaodong kicked on the rock below again.

"Smack!"

With a muffled sound, the stone below was kicked and broken, and with a bang, all the flowing water gushed out, and the gap that was only a few dozen centimeters just now instantly became half a meter wide, and the dammed lake appeared in front of the two of them without warning, and the inclined stone slab that he lived in last time appeared so suddenly.

A few turtles basking on the rocks crawled into the water.

Fate is sometimes so magical, and surprises will come so quietly when you are most desperate.

If it weren't for Chen Yaodong's kick, they would still have to run back, and whether they could find a way out is another matter.

The flashlight flashed a few times and went out.

The last trace of electricity ran out.

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

"Hahaha, God will not die for me, thank you, God, Jesus, Hu Da, Rulai, I love you." Chen Yaodong made a flying kiss, the first one got out, and jumped on the stone slab.

Ye Haiyang followed.

The air outside was incomparably fresh, and the two soaked, tired, hungry and tired creatures fell on the stones, enjoying the sun and breathing the free air greedily.

They had never felt that the air in Elysium was so sweet, and it was a luxury to be able to breathe so deeply.

"It's out, it's finally out, I'm Chen Yaodong back." Chen Yaodong looked at the sky with his eyes closed, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Rather than be trapped in a cave all the time, he would rather come out and fight the cannibals.

Even dying in battle is much more enjoyable than suffocating to death.
