Chapter 334: Slowly groping and looking for a way out
Yuntang led Xuanyi and walked slowly along the cliff, and Xuanyi asked, "When did you come down to the canyon?" ”
"When I arrived at the camp in the early hours of this morning, I rushed to this side of the canyon before dawn, and it has been a day since I went inside."
"I heard that you brought a few people down with you, and you didn't think to take them out like this?"
"I'm afraid it won't be possible. Even if I can take them up, I can only bring one person at a time, and there are nearly 300 Langchuan troops here, and I can't do it alone. ”
"There are so many people here."
"Yes, although Ying Fei was too aggressive at that time, fortunately his own skills were excellent, and the Langchuan army brought by him was brave and good at fighting, but the loss was not big. It's just that I'm stuck here and can't get out. ”
"Have you looked into this place?"
"I tried to break through with them during the day, but the outermost canyon was too tightly defended, and if I forced a breakthrough, I could rush out, but they couldn't. After a few attempts, I gave up and tried to find out if there was any other way out of the canyon, but the canyon was too large for me to complete. ”
Stopping, Xuanyi turned to look at Yuntang and asked, "I think there must be a hidden road leading to the outside here, but we haven't discovered it yet." ”
Yun Tang asked suspiciously, "Why are you so sure?" ”
"Maybe you were busy breaking through before, and the direction you walked was not the same as the direction I came in, so I didn't find that there may be other entrances to this canyon."
"What did you find?"
"I found a few apricot trees, a few apricot trees that were crooked and dying. I wouldn't think anything if it had grown one or more over there, but it was only that one area where there were a few of them, which was not normal. In order to confirm my suspicions, I deliberately walked around the neighborhood and found that it was indeed the only place. ”
When Yuntang heard this, he was surprised but uncertain and said, "You mean ......"
Xuan Yi nodded and said, "That's right, in this case, only an animal living outside eats the fruit of this apricot tree, and then enters this canyon, it is possible to bring the seeds in." Otherwise, it doesn't make sense why only a few plants grow in that small area. And if the birds eat the seeds and bring them in, it is impossible for several plants to grow together at the same time, but they will spread out, and the distance will be far away. So my guess is that this must have been brought in by some kind of animal, and it won't be small. ”
Regarding Xuanyi's guess, Yuntang agreed.
"Now we just need to find out where this animal came from, and find that passage, there is still hope."
"yes, I just hope this animal is big enough."
The two men looked at each other, then continued their search hand in hand along the cliff face.
They must find this place as soon as possible, because the Langchuan army has been besieged here for three days, and there is no water source here, and if they don't want to get out, after a few days, the lack of water will directly kill them.
In this way, the two of them touched the cliff wall and walked slowly forward, until the light of day brightened, and the guessed exit was still not found.
Because they needed to touch the rock wall and rely on the touch of their fingertips to find it little by little, the fingers of both of them had been ground to pain.
And because Xuanyi couldn't wrap her true qi around her fingertips, which affected the touch, her skin was softer, and her fingertips were already injured with blood.
Before, because it was dark, Yun Tang didn't see Xuanyi's fingers clearly, and he didn't know that she was so badly injured, but now when he saw it, the blood marks on his fingertips pierced his heart.
Not daring to touch Xuanyi's fingers, he grabbed her wrist and said sharply, "You can't look for it anymore!" ”
Grabbing Xuanyi's wrist, Yuntang's hands were trembling.
