Chapter 3: The Road to Escape
Hearing Su Bai's words, Laura was stunned, and then hurriedly said, "No, no, how can I blame you for this matter?" ”
"Alright Laura, let's not talk about this for now, let's get out of this hellish place as soon as possible." Su Bai said, then grabbed Laura's left wrist and put it on his shoulder, and wrapped his other hand around her small waist.
Laura understood what he meant, and stood up from the ground with Su Bai's help.
"Let's go, watch your step."
Su Bai helped Laura and walked towards the passage next to him.
Walking along the winding rock wall, the two of them came to a candlelit cave hall.
"Oh no! My God! ”
The scene in front of her made Laura's body weak, and Su Bai hurriedly hugged her tightly.
Laura, however, just looked ahead in a daze, her right hand covering her mouth, her eyes glistening with tears and full of sadness.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Bai also felt a burst of cool air rising behind him.
I saw skulls everywhere with burning candles stuck in them, and a portrait of what seemed to be a god on the rock wall behind them. In front of the rock face, a fresh corpse was hung on all fours, two ropes tied to each of his arms, and his head hung down.
Combined with the skulls, bones, and red candles that are used as ornaments throughout the hall, it gives people a chilling feeling.
"Alright, alright, Laura." Su Bai hugged Laura's petite body tightly, put his head on his chest, caressed her back with his right hand, and comforted her in a low voice, "This person is dead, grief is useless." We must get out of here as soon as possible, find the other survivors, and tell everyone what happened here. ”
Laura quickly perked up and stopped her tears: "You're right, we must find Reyes and them." This can't be allowed to happen again. ”
Su Bai helped her to continue walking forward and entered the hall.
Laura looked around, "What the hell is this place?" What happened to them? ”
"It looks like some kind of evil sacrificial ritual." Su Bai said, looked at the torch inserted next to him and said, "There are torches over there, maybe you can use them later." ”
He took the torch and held it in his hand and continued on.
In front of it was a passage reinforced with wood, but it was blocked by piles of wooden barrels, boxes, rags, and other debris.
"You rest here for a while, and I'll clear the passage."
Su Bai helped Laura to sit down on the edge of the rock wall, holding the torch and walking towards the pile of debris.
"Hopefully it will all burn it all."
Muttering, Su Bai stretched the torch forward in front of the sundries.
He remembered that in the game, it was all about using torches to open the way, but this was not a game, and anything could be ordered. If he can't burn it, he'll have to clean up the debris himself.
Fortunately, the worst didn't happen. The rags wrapped around it quickly burst into flames, setting the whole pile on fire.
Su Bai took two steps back, avoiding the scorching flames. It wasn't until the pile of debris was almost burned that he turned and walked towards Laura.
Seeing Su Bai coming over, Laura stood up: "Is it already alright?" ”
Su Bai nodded: "We can go." Are you okay now? ”
Laura shook her head: "No problem, I don't need you to continue to hold on to me, that's too slow." ”
"Okay, but don't be pushy, if you feel anything uncomfortable on your body, you must tell me in time." Su Bai said.
Laura took off a torch next to her, held her stomach with one hand, and turned to him with a smile: "I will." ”
Looking at Laura, who could barely see anything abnormal in his actions, Su Bai could only sigh in his heart, worthy of Laura, who looked delicate and weak, but in fact was so strong that he couldn't speak. This kind of injury, how can anyone else recover like this. What a female man, she is weak in front of her.
The two of them continued to walk down the passage when they suddenly heard a noise.
"Not good!"
Su Bai's face changed slightly.
The two looked at each other and immediately sped up.
After passing through a narrow rock crevice, the two entered a small cavern. There is a blocked passage on the stone platform in front. And in the blockage there was exactly a barrel of explosives.
Su Bai asked Laura to hide, climbed up to the stone platform next to her, lit the white cloth wrapped around a crossbar that had been extending towards the blockage, and then immediately jumped off the stone platform and ran to Laura's side, protecting her with her body in her arms, and burying her head deeply.
Rumble!
The cave shuddered, debris splattered, and the blockage exploded, clearing a low passageway.
"Let's go."
Su Bai climbed onto the stone platform, pulled Laura up again, and the two of them bent down and crawled towards the passage.
As soon as he entered this low and narrow passage, a sturdy barbarian suddenly jumped down from above and landed outside the passage, grabbed Su Bai's left leg behind him, and dragged him out with force.
Su Bai was startled and quickly calmed down.
At this time, Laura noticed the anomaly and immediately stepped back, grabbed his hand and pulled it back hard.
Su Bai shook off Laura's hands and yelled at her, "Don't stop, keep going." Come on! I'm fine. ”
Laura was a little at a loss, and subconsciously crawled forward along the passage, but kept turning her head to look at Su Bai.
Su Bai gave her a reassuring smile and kept kicking the barbarian who was trying to drag him out on her feet.
However, the barbarian didn't know what he had grown up eating, and with his strength now strengthened far beyond that of an ordinary adult man, he couldn't break free.
Su Bai gritted his teeth, held the torch and poked hard at the barbarian's face.
This torch is of good quality, and it has not been extinguished even after such a toss.
The blazing flames and thick smoke made the barbarian's hand loosen, and Su Bai immediately sped up and crawled forward.
The barbarian tried to chase after him again, but a boulder fell suddenly, blocking the entrance to the cave.
Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
The barbarian outside was still calling out to the two of them: "Come back! I just wanted to help you! Come back! ”
"Sue, are you alright?" Laura looked at him with a nervous face, looking like she was palpitating, "It's too dangerous, it's so dangerous." ”
"I'm fine, let's move on." Su Bai said to Laura.
Now is not the time to relax, and the two of them continue to move forward. The passage ahead was completely flooded, and they could only hold their torches high and continue in the deep water that almost submerged Laura.
"Watch your step."
Su Bai walked behind, keeping an eye on Laura's situation in front of him.
The road underneath your feet is not smooth, with potholes or gravel scattered across the board, and if you don't see it at all, you can get hurt if you don't pay attention. The rock wall overhead was still seeping water.
Walking through this flooded passage, the two came to a huge cave.
There is a blocked passage on the left with a bright exit. This lifted the spirits of both of them.
"We've got to find a way to get this stuff out of the way." Su Bai looked at the explosives in the blockage and said, "Use the fire to ignite this thing, and the power of the explosion will definitely be able to blow up the passage." ”
Laura looked at the bright exit ahead and said, "But if you do this, it will cause the entire passage to collapse." It's just too dangerous. ”
