The most feared thing is that if the top of the upper layer is not firm and suddenly collapses by the quicksand layer, then all five of us will be submerged.

A few minutes later, the center of the top collapsed, and I was standing nearby, and countless grains of sand poured down on me. A hand reached out behind me and dragged me aside, and I heard Sheng Shiyao asking, "Are you okay?" "The sand got in my eyes and I couldn't open it at all. At that moment, I suddenly heard a scream, and then something seemed to roll down from the top of the collapse, and the sound was obvious, it was a heavy object.

Liuzi exclaimed, "What kind of animal is that?" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang, and someone fired a gun, and then he said: "No matter what kind of animal, it has bad intentions, shoot it first." "During this period, Sheng Shiyao was washing my eyes with water, and most of the sand had been washed off, so I could squint my eyeliner slightly. So I just saw a behemoth also fall from the sky, and the sound of a gun being loaded came, and some kind of intuition made me shout: "Don't shoot yet!" ”

When the heavy object slammed into the ground, Sheng Shiyao beside him was suspicious: "Is it a person?" My heart moved, my intuition was right, I felt like a human figure when I fell with the quicksand, and when I heard Zhou Tong exclaim, "Jian Ningyi", I was even more sure that my intuition was not wrong. Since I had already suspected that the four fire clusters were lit by them, proving that they had been here, it was very likely that they were around here, and the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the human figure fall was one of them.

Whether it was intuitive judgment or foresight ability activating, it finally didn't hurt Jian Ningyi by mistake. This fall didn't knock Jian Ning unconscious, but she fell to the ground and couldn't get up, and all the sand and gravel fell on her, but in a moment, half of her was buried. Hurriedly rushed forward, pulled the person to the side, and heard Jian Ning ask with a wry smile, "Why are you here?" ”

Sheng Shiyao asked her rhetorically: "What about Yu?" Jian Ning was silent and said, "I don't know. Everyone couldn't help but wonder, they should be together, why don't they know where Zhuang Yu went? But there was no time to ask more questions at the moment, Sheng Shiyao only asked her what the situation was above. Jian Ningyi replied that the upper floor was also a confined space, not as big as here, only fifty or sixty square meters, and it was also leaking sand, and it had not reached her waist just now, so she couldn't move anymore. There was an unknown object crawling in the sand, and suddenly a grain of sand fell downward with a rapid momentum, which caused her sand to flow as well, pushing her directly into the gap and falling from it.

After listening to what she said, Sheng Shiyao immediately ordered: "Dig holes from the fire clusters from the four corners, and let's go to the upper floor." ”

At the moment, a few people made a human ladder, and Sheng Shiyao used the shadow moon to dig a hole at the top, and soon there was sand and gravel flowing down quickly at the four corners, so that the sand layer accumulated under our feet became thicker and thicker, and the speed of filling up was much faster than before, and it didn't take long to reach the crook of our legs. "Now go up from that gap." Sheng Shiyao gave the order again.

Only then did we find out that it was originally the place where the sand and gravel leaked the most, that is, the place where Jian Ning fell from there, but at this time, it was no longer leaking, as if the upper layer of sand and gravel had been scattered from the four corners, and the middle position was vacant. Also in the way of a human ladder, the three women went up first, and it was inconvenient for my eyes to stay at the end, although Jian Ningyi fell and was full of injuries, she stubbornly got up and asked her to go up first, because she was familiar with the environment above.

So Jian Ningyi climbed up first, followed by Liu Yue, and when they arrived at me, they grabbed my arm and dragged it up at the same time, and it was easy to reach the upper floor, and then pulled Liuzi and Zhou Tong up, leaving Sheng Shiyao alone. It suddenly occurred to me that this was the middle position, and there was no attachment to it, and it was impossible for him to have light skills, so how could he come up?

Lying at the entrance of the cave to look down, but he couldn't find his figure when he squinted, so he couldn't help but be anxious, and pulled Zhou Tong next to him and asked, "What about others?" Zhou Tong's puzzled voice came from overhead: "I don't know, Brother Yao came up from under me just now, and I wanted to twist our clothes into a rope and pull him up." Suddenly, Sheng Shiyao's voice came from behind him: "I'm here." ”

"Brother Yao, why did you come up from over there?" Zhou Tong turned around and asked in surprise.

Sheng Shiyao asked rhetorically: "If I don't climb from the wall, how can I come up?" As he spoke, he walked over the not-so-thick layer of sand, walked over to this side, and pulled me up from me, who was still lying on the ground. I immediately understood that he had already planned to send us all up, and then come up alone through the hole in the wall with the bone shrinking technique. Standing on tiptoe to touch the top of his head, sure enough, his hair was full of sand, and he hurriedly patted it for him.

By this time, he had already understood the reason for his decision, the lower layer had nearly a hundred square meters of space, and the upper layer was only fifty or sixty, which was only half of the lower layer, so the sand always fell freely, even if there was a full layer of sand in this layer, at most half of the space was piled up at the bottom. On the contrary, we are on this level, even if there are still grains of sand flowing in from the wall, but we still have time to think about what to do. It was not immediately buried by the sand, and only then did Sheng Shiyao carefully ask Jian Ningyi about Zhuang Yu's whereabouts.

It turned out that the two of them had indeed reached the bottom before. But they've been at the bottom for a lot longer than we've been at the bottom, and it's been a full day that they can't find an exit at all. Asked her how she entered that space, she was also at a loss and couldn't say clearly, when she was dragged away by the strange hand first, Zhuang Yu later caught up, but she was only dragged away by the strange hand with her, and when she reached a certain wall, she saw that she was going to hit it, but she didn't feel anything resisting it at all, and then she entered this space, and the group of strange hands disappeared.

Zhuang Yu turned around to inspect the location where he came in, and found that it was a hard stone wall, and it was impossible to pass through. The rest of the people did not come in again, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, and they were trapped at the bottom, during which Zhuang Yu also tried various methods, but in vain. Just when they were hopeless and discouraged, suddenly the four fire clusters spontaneously ignited all around, and at the moment when the firelight illuminated the entire space, they only felt that a distorted magnetic field effect had an effect on their bodies, and then Jian Ning arrived in the upper space now, and Zhuang Yu didn't know where to go.

She shouted out her throat here, and she didn't hear Zhuang Yuying, she originally thought that he was still in the original space, but after she fell down just now, she didn't find him. The whole thing sounds very unbelievable, how can people suddenly pass through the wall, and suddenly shuttle between the upper and lower floors? Obviously, the spacers in this are all substantial stone layers.

Suddenly, Sheng Shiyao asked Jian Ningyi: "Did you and Yu not stand together at that time?" Jian Ning replied that she was on the right side, and Zhuang Yu was on the left. Then Sheng Shiyao lightly recited the four words: "Space rift." ”

My mind suddenly lit up, and I immediately had an epiphany, and the island cave is the same truth, and the spatial rift has created all this. The scope of this rift not only includes the upper and lower layers or more layers, but also includes the passage, so Jian Ningyi and Zhuang Yu did not hit any entities when they were pulled into the bottom layer by the strange hand, and there was no gap when they looked back. Later, the two separated, and due to the different directions they stood, they also entered different rifts. Zhuang Yuding is in the middle of a rift around him.

Just don't know what triggers the start of the rift? And why haven't we met it?

"It's time." Sheng Shiyao said, "Its spatial twist comes according to time. We're within this time limit, so we haven't met, so wait a minute, and we're separated, so don't worry, when the end of time turns around, the rift will be restarted, and we'll go back to the beginning. ”

"However, the starting point is the bottom layer or the passage, the bottom layer is filled with so much sand, and there are monsters in the passage." I questioned, Sheng Shiyao was silent, and I said, "Moreover, we don't know how much time is limited. ”

This Sheng Shiyao solved my confusion: "Judging from the interval between their two spatial torsions, it should be twelve hours for one time, but it is impossible to determine how many layers there are in the spatial rift, and the more layers, the longer the final axis of time." ”

These words undoubtedly added a layer of haze to everyone's hearts. After asking Jian Ningyi and Zhuang Yu about how long they had been apart, so that they could also calculate the time for the next spatial rift to twist again, she said that it was almost four or five hours, that is, there were still seven or eight hours to arrive, and if she could think of a way to leave this special rift space during this period, it would be fine.

As he spoke, the sand layer was only above his ankles, and what was even more surprising was that the amount of sand that had been leaking through the cracks in the wall was decreasing. On the other hand, the ground floor space is no longer more than half high, and it seems that all the sand layers in the wall have flowed down. I'm more worried about what to do if someone is brought into the bottom layer when the time for the rift to twist is up, but the height is now higher than the person, and the person is completely not on the bottom, will I climb into the upper layer again? It's going to be tough.

Thinking of the animals that were shot just now, and asked them what they were, Zhou Tong hesitated and said that they looked like pangolins, but they didn't look like them, and they were black and mushy, and they didn't see clearly.

Pangolin? My heart moved slightly, could the gap between the two floors be drilled by it? It must not have been in this space in the first place, and if it was going to come in, it must have entered through the wall. Immediately told their thoughts, everyone carefully searched around, and sure enough, they found a cave with a diameter of more than ten centimeters in the corner of the wall, which was buried under the sand.

I was annoyed that if we hadn't killed the pangolin, maybe we would have been able to make a hole for us, and we might be able to get out. Now that the hole is so small, it's absolutely impossible to get into. But Sheng Shiyao said: "There is no need to be annoyed, the animal dug a hole out of it, and when it came to the bottom of this sand layer, it was supposed to be safe, but it still dug a hole and jumped down, proving one thing, that is, on the other side of the hole, it encountered something more vicious, which made it so uneasy." It's best to find rocks to plug the hole. ”

His analysis had always been reasonable, and immediately someone found gravel, filled the hole in it, and pasted it on the surface with fine sand. But I'm worried that this wouldn't do much except to avoid a few small snakes and insects.
