Gao Yan nervously shifted the flashlight to her left hand and held the handle of the saber tightly, she had to make sure she could hold it with ease. Wild Sand Literature Network

Li Xiaojiang glanced at Gao Yan's movements with satisfaction, which was very good.

It's admirable to be calm.

Li Xiaojiang and Xiao Wu walked in the front, probably because he was used to opening the way by himself, Gao Yan followed closely behind, and then came her two colleagues, one of these two people was injured and was shot in the arm, and now they are simply bandaged, but there is no way to deal with this injury.

Behind is Li Xiaojiang's team members.

Gao Yan and the others stepped into the passage, and the darkness completely engulfed them at once, and the light of the flashlight looked lonely and thin.

Gao Yan knew that she seemed to be very nervous, and she suspected that the darkness and dreariness in the passage were affecting her.

Two colleagues were even more scared.

Walking out for dozens of steps, Gao Yan had been counting the steps, and suddenly the entire passage shook violently, as if it was about to collapse, and the gravel fell from above, and the two colleagues had already screamed, lying on the ground and holding their heads and trembling.

A strong body had already grabbed Gao Yan and hugged her against the rock wall, and the hard rock wall suddenly emitted a chill behind her.

"What's going on?"

The vibration has subsided.

She suddenly remembered that Li Xiaojiang's person seemed to be missing.

At this time, a figure appeared in front of Li Xiaojiang and them.

"The captain has completed the task, after this bomb explosion, they can't clean up the entrance in two days. If we go faster and don't run into traps or anything, we can probably clean them up when we get out. ”

This remark made Gao Yan understand.

This hellish shock was blown up by Li Xiaojiang and the others with a bomb.

I couldn't help but smile a little wryly.

This Li Xiaojiang is also too reckless, if they move forward. This passage is a dead end, and that is equivalent to sealing themselves in this tunnel.

Isn't this self-digging grave?

"Don't look at me like that, although it's dark here and I can't see you clearly, but believe me, I can still feel your eyes. Since I dare to blow up, of course I am confident that I can take you out, in fact, I went into the tunnel alone to investigate after you fell asleep last night. Li Xiaojiang let go of Gao Yan.

Gao Yan was furious, this person actually entered the tunnel alone without telling all of them, which was simply too much.

The echo of the conversation was loud and behind their ears, and everyone quickly learned to speak in a low voice.

"How can you do that?"

'Of course I can do that, I'm the captain and I have that right. I must make sure that I will not encounter danger with me, although I have not finished this tunnel, but judging by the road I have taken, this tunnel has been carved out in the middle of the mountain, and if my judgment is correct, this mountain path will go straight through this mountain, directly to the other side of the mountain.

On top of that, I found rivers in the tunnels, and as long as there are underground rivers, it proves that this is a place to get out. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to have the confidence to take you into it like this. ”

He's not a guy who does things he's not sure of.

They continued to march.

Jiang Ting'an outside came out from under the mercenaries on the side, his eyes were full of dust and stone chips, choking people's noses.

He held one hand over his nose as he watched as the hole had completely collapsed.

The force of the explosion caused the huge rocks to fall, burying the entire hole.

And because of the explosion, almost half of the stones fell from it.

Thanks to his quick withdrawal.

Otherwise, the falling boulders would have killed several of him by now.

Many more were injured.

The most important thing is that now the entrance to the cave has been blocked.

They had to clear the stones, or they would never have been able to catch up with them.

"Bastard!"

Jiang Tingan hammered the tree next to him fiercely.

This was all done by that Li Xiaojiang.

"Hurry up and start cleaning the hole, we must catch up with them as soon as possible." Jiang Tingan gave orders.

………………

After walking the entire tunnel for about three hours, the angle of the tunnel suddenly began to slope upwards, and a wide and shallow staircase appeared, which seemed to be carved out of stone.

Of course, it wasn't a very steep slope, but it was a struggle to walk because they were carrying too much extra weight.

And because they entered the belly of the mountain, the air around them became cooler and colder, and from time to time they could feel a cold wind blowing.

Gao Yan and his colleagues began to shiver.

Li Xiaojiang glanced at them, "You'd better add one more thing, I walked for four hours when I walked on this road last night, and I didn't reach the end, according to my inference, the further back I went, it was through the mountains." It's going to get colder and colder. ”

Gao Yan and the others had no choice but to stop and find the thick outer part from their backpacks.

It's easy to lose courage in the endless darkness.

Gao Yan walked in the darkness and wondered deeply how the professional archaeologists could overcome these fears and endure the oppressive darkness, let alone truly enjoy it.

She couldn't stand it.

The passage was flat again, and Li Xiaojiang briefly asked everyone to stop and rest for a while.

Ten minutes later, I was on the road again.

Gao Yan noticed when they came in.

She flipped her wrist and let the flashlight shine on her watch. They've been walking for six hours, minus a ten-minute break well, they're six hours too.

If they had gone faster, it would have been more than a dozen kilometers, but even at a slower pace, they would have estimated that they would have at least a few kilometers.

It's a long passage.

Someone took the trouble to dig out this passage, and although it may have been natural at first, someone expanded its size.

This may be the tribes in Xiao Yan's notebook.

"Keep walking!" Li Xiaojiang said.

They began to climb another wide, shallow staircase.

The stairs seemed to be endless, each one not tall, only a little higher than the last, but they added up to several thousand, so they still had to climb with great difficulty.

Suddenly there was another turn in front of them, and there was light in front of them, very faint, almost disappearing, but there it was.

As they approached, they could see that the entrance to the cave was overgrown with vines and bushes in the same hole as when they entered.

The entrance to the cave was as large as the cave's, but it still could only accommodate a person wielding a saber.

The shrubs and vines here had been cut down, and Gao Yan was pleased to find these traces of artificiality, which showed that Xiao Yan had been here before.

Of course, it could be someone else. But in any case, here proves that someone once came.

They got out.

Then the sunlight poured in, brighter and brighter.

They went outside again, pushing away the broad leaves that slapped on their faces and cutting down the overgrown kudzu vines.

After passing through the darkness of the passage, they must shield their hands from the sun until their sight can adjust.

All they saw was a very similar view to the other side of the passage.

This was the plain-like mountain range they saw.

More signs of creatures can already be seen in the surroundings.
