Chapter 282: Underground (2)
What Shu Lanruo pointed to was a mushroom that had sunk into the ground, and the mushroom was only left exposed.
"Young master, look at this mushroom, it's so strange, why does it only have its head outside? Is there a hole in the ground down there? Shu Lanruo thought that this was probably a mushroom that had grown on a hole in the ground, because the upper cave wall was relatively thin, and the mushroom was too big, crushing the upper cave wall, so it sank into the ground.
"Just a mushroom, where you are also studying? Are you idle and have nothing to do? Bai Ci glared at Shu Lanruo. He said angrily, "Isn't it just a mushroom?" What's so strange, dig it out, don't you know what's going on? ”
Bai Ci was simple-minded, not as much as Shu Lanruo thought, and as he spoke, he walked to the side of the mushroom, and by the time Shu Lanruo reacted and wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
"Don't ......" Shu Lanruo had not finished speaking, only a clatter and collapse sound was heard, and the clods of soil around the mushroom cracked in response, and the whole piece of land fell without warning.
All this happened so fast that Bai Ci didn't react at all, and plunged down towards the cracked hole!
At the last moment, Shu Lanruo hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Bai Ci's hand, which barely pulled Bai Ci back, but both of them had already fallen into the hole, leaving only Shu Lanruo holding on to the stones at the entrance of the cave with one hand.
When she got closer to Shulan Ruo, she found that the mushroom had grown on top of a hole, but now the top of the cave had collapsed, revealing the entire hole, and the soil around the hole was very thin, and it would collapse if it couldn't support it for too long.
The location of the collapse of the upper cave wall will definitely be very weak, at least due to a collapse caused by the instability of the surrounding soil structure is inevitable, Shulan Ruo was originally very difficult to pull Bai Ci with the strength of a girl, and she had to grasp the hole with one hand to barely support it, and the consequences can be imagined.
"You let go! You stupid fish! Bai Ci roared lightly, he was afraid that if he was louder, he might shake the two of them down.
"If you fool die, I won't live!" Shulanruo scolded, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm running out of strength!" ”
"Help......" Shu Lanruo only had time to shout at the end, and then her position collapsed, and the whole person fell into the dark hole with Bai Ci.
"Ah......h
Imagine if there was a trap at the end of the hole, such as many towering barbs, or simply a bumpy stone, they would be killed on the spot, and they would die ugly.
Thinking of this, Shulan Ruo grabbed Bai Ci's hand tightly, at least she could pull a cushion on her back even if she died, and in addition, she also reacted instinctively, grabbing something can always bring her some sense of security.
Fortunately, this is not a bottomless pit, and it is far from as deep as the two imagined, and it didn't take long for them to hear a "poof" sound, and the two fell into the water like dumplings.
This caught the two off guard, and it wasn't until they choked on a few mouthfuls of cold water that they came to their senses, however, in the dark water, they couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest, and they couldn't even distinguish between up and down, and once they didn't handle it properly, they would suffocate to death at any time, and both of them were a little flustered for a while.
Bai Ci calmed down first, he felt the direction of his body's fall, and quickly figured out the up and down, so he grabbed Shu Lanruo's waist and went upstream.
Shu Lanruo is not a fool, she knows that the most taboo thing about falling into the water is panic, so she settled down and swam in the direction driven by Bai Ci.
However, when their hands touched the roof of the cave and still did not feel the water coming out, the two panicked again, and the hole was actually filled with water, which means that unless they found the hole they had just come down, they would both suffocate to death.
But this hole is too dark, secretly reaching out and not seeing five fingers, they don't know where they fell into the water, and they can't judge how much they deviated from the hole in the process of going upstream just now, and the most terrible thing is that in the water, the two can't communicate at all except for touching each other, and it's almost a mortal situation.
And this water is cold and biting, in such a strange forest in a water hole, no matter how you think about it, it is very unsettling, in the dark, people's sense of crisis is the highest, which is also the reason why human beings are afraid of dark and light, Shulan Ruo always feels that there is something in the water wandering around them, the more she thinks about it, the more scared she becomes, and it makes her have goosebumps all over her body.
After staying for a few seconds, Bai Ci reacted, he let go of Shu Lanruo, untied the strap around his waist and tied it to Shu Lanruo's waist, and then pushed her in one direction, signaling her to swim in that direction, and then paddling with one hand and groping the top of the cave with the other to see if he could find the hole where he fell into the water.
The process of finding the entrance to the cave was very uncomfortable, almost when the two of them were holding their breath to the limit, Bai Ci finally touched a hole, and at that time they didn't care if it was the one they came from, as long as they could breathe.
