I waved my hands, but I couldn't grasp anything. My first thought was: Am I going to fall to my death?

But my body ended up landing on a large puddle of viscous fluid, which cushioned the impact of the fall. I was lucky not to die, but the pain felt like it was shattering all over my body.

I slowed down for a long time, struggling to get up, trying to see what the hell this place was, but it was so dark that I couldn't see anything.

Only a small corner of light shone from the entrance of the cave, and the sunlight had become so dim that it barely served any illumination.

Where did I fall? I looked up at the entrance of the cave and estimated that the height was less than 20 meters, and the walls of the cave were so smooth that it was impossible to climb it with my bare hands.

Then I thought of the girl, and I shouted twice at the top of my voice, but I didn't hear any response, so I shouted for help at the entrance of the cave while wondering who had kicked me down.

The pain in my ass told me it was a human foot, so the criminal was probably one of us.

The short man was knocked down by Xiao Rong before, and he shouldn't have woken up so quickly, and even if he woke up, he would be stupid, so I don't think it should be him.

And Xiao Rong had warned me not to approach these holes before, and if he wanted to harm me, there was no need to remind me, so it shouldn't be Xiao Rong either.

Is it a leper man? I thought to myself, although his leg was injured and he had difficulty moving, it should be possible to move it slowly. But if it's him, what is the motive? I thought about it carefully, and felt that there was only one biggest motive - the leper man and the girl were in the same group, and after he saw the girl fall into this hole, he must have wanted to save her, but the girl didn't know what to do at that time, she was crazy and didn't cooperate at all.

So the most effective way is to send someone down.

But there is bound to be danger in entering this hole, and how many people present are willing to sacrifice themselves and selflessly? Therefore, choosing the "person with the least choice" is the best choice!

And the mole man's choice is to kick me down, at least I'm sober, so if I want to be saved, I have to save the girl, so as long as I live, the girl is basically safe.

But then I thought that the leper man still had to rely on me to leave the "Tulimen", and if he did this, wouldn't he be afraid that I would die here and that he would not be able to get out for the rest of his life? I thought again, the leper man is proficient in knocking on this "door", maybe he knows very well what this place is, and knows that it may be dangerous for me to fall, but this danger is not fatal, so he took the risk of kicking me down?

…… I can't guess why.

In a word, it's so insidious! To be able to think of so many stakes in that moment, it was me, and I would never be able to do it.

I suddenly realized that I was surrounded by scheming and scheming people, including the girl, who was even more difficult to deal with.

But fortunately, I am now on the same side as them, and I thought to myself, if I were the "opposite", I don't know how many times I would be killed by them.

But speaking of which, the man named "Dadong" is also very likely to do this, he is not only neat with his hands and feet, but also cares about the girl's life and death. Because according to the girl, this Dadong still has to count on the girl to help him do something, so the girl can't die. What's more, Dadong's origin is unknown, and he doesn't know what his purpose is at all, plus he has always looked at me unpleasantly, so the possibility that the criminal is him is also very high!

Thinking of this, I exhaled and said to myself, all of the above is just my speculation, if this is not the case - the other party just wants me and the girl to die! Then we might really be done this time - the hole is so hidden that we don't know if the sound can be heard. Hopefully, no one except the criminals noticed that we had fallen in.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that it might not be useful to ask for help, and I still had to find a way to save myself now.

I stopped shouting, drew the dagger from my waist, and held it with my backhand. I remembered that I still had a box of matches in my pocket when I lit the alcohol lamp just now, so I immediately took it out, polished one, and took a picture of it.

The hole is only three or four meters away, but the bottom is huge, in an inverted funnel shape, extending forward, feeling like the shape of a sock.

At the bottom of the cave there was a large expanse of clear liquid, I don't know what it was, like a backwater pool, without any waves. When I fell, I was covered in this liquid, and when I touched it with my hands, it smelled very sweet.

The match was quickly extinguished, and I lit another one. At this moment I suddenly saw something white at the bottom of the pool, and I cautiously stepped forward, grabbed it with my hand, and picked it up, only to see that it was a bone, and there were still tendons and gray fur of some kind of animal attached to it.

I felt sick and hurriedly threw it to the side, and the liquid in the pool was splashed, and the ripples rippled layer by layer.

My eyes followed the ripples and slowly looked into the distance. In the depths of the dark pool, a figure crouched motionless on the water.

I was startled, and when I looked closely, it was a girl!

I was stunned for a moment, and without thinking much about it, I yelled and ran over to grab her. As soon as I had taken two steps, something suddenly flashed in the darkness, and before I could take a closer look, the match in my hand went out again.

My fingers were burned by the last flames, but I didn't feel any pain at all, for my head was blank and my heart was beating wildly.

I know what I'm seeing...... Two red lights in the darkness -- those were the eyes of the big mouse.

“…… You have to do what you promise......"

The girl suddenly muttered something, and my hand trembled, and I slowly moved to her, crouched down and polished another match. This time I covered the fire with the palm of my hand, and the light could only reach the size of a palm. I looked at her face, and saw that she was expressionless, her eyes were hollow, her mouth was slightly open, and she looked like she was stupid.

"Girl!"

I shouted in a suppressed voice, but she didn't respond. I looked sideways into the darkness, and the red light was gone. I panicked, raised my arm, and slapped her in the face. The girl tilted her head, and after a moment she turned her head back and looked at me in surprise.

"Run!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a huge black shadow suddenly leap up and rush towards us from a high place. I was in a hurry, and pushed the girl into the water.

The shadow suddenly threw me to the ground, and I reached out and grabbed it, and the mouse hair in one hand.

The rats were fierce, and much larger than the ones on the meadow. At the moment it grabbed me like crazy, and its big claws were inserted into my flesh, and my mouth was crooked in pain. I grabbed it and rolled in a circle in the water and kicked it in the belly with my foot. It squeaked, and finally I, baring its teeth and biting at my neck.

I didn't know how to resist, so I grabbed his face with one hand and pushed it out, holding it with the other and stabbing it with a dagger.

But the dead rat has rough skin and thick flesh, and he can't get the point after a few punctures.

The match that had fallen into the pool lit for a while, then suddenly went out, and it was pitch black all around. I suddenly remembered the scene on the meadow outside the city, and with a quick snug in my mind, I raised my dagger in the darkness and stabbed it into the eye of the mouse.

I only heard a squeaky scream, and the rat threw me out at once.

I got up and heard the sound of the water being stirred wildly, and I guess the rat was hurt by me.

I dragged my two painful arms and quickly ducked to the side, trying to light another match to see what was going on, but my arms couldn't exert any strength.

Leaning against the cave wall, I gasped for breath, thinking to myself that this rat was big, but fortunately there was only one here, and if a large group of rats rushed up like before, I would surely die without a place to bury.

"Girl!"

I shouted into the darkness. But no one answered me. I was impatient, and I said that I couldn't wait, so I endured the pain and polished another match.

As soon as the fire shone in the light of the fire, I saw the girl standing against the wall of the cave not far away, and the big mouse was facing her, and she shrank back and made a gesture of pounce on her prey.

As soon as the light of the fire in my hand passed, I saw the big mouse get up sharply and pounce on the girl with great speed. I screamed in my heart that I was not good, and I raised my leg to rush over to help. In the darkness, I saw that the girl's arm was raised, a flash of fire flashed, and a huge gunshot sounded in my ears. The rat screamed, and was shaken out of the way, lying crooked in the pool, his body rising and falling. At first, the ups and downs were intense, but they subsided after a while.

Seeing this, I exhaled and carefully touched it. Seeing that black and red blood poured out of the mouse's rough fur, the girl's shot hit the mouse in the head impartially. The rat gasped for breath and was blinded by me in one eye. Although I felt a little unbearable, I was still very worried that it would ease up later, so I closed my eyes and made up for it. Seeing that it did not move at all, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come here!" I lit another match, the last one, and beckoned to the girl.

The girl put away her pistol and ran over. She looked much more awake than before, and although her eyes were still a little glazed, at least she didn't open her mouth to bite me.

I grabbed her to the bottom of the hole, which was a little brighter than the rest, and crouched down with her.

"What is this place?" The girl looked around and asked.

Hearing her say this, I was very glad that she was finally back to normal.

"I don't know." I replied, then pointed to the hole above my head, "But it's not safe here, we have to find a way to get out." I looked at the girl, "Do you remember how you fell?" ”

"I don't remember exactly," the girl shook her head, "I just remember that I seemed to smell something particularly 'delicious,' and I was so hungry when I smelled it." And then I followed the smell and searched for it, and I searched for it...... Later, when I came to my senses, I was here. ”

I listened, smiled wryly and gave her a thumbs up, and said in my heart, Okay, you are a foodie, who are you afraid of? Justeatit!

The girl slapped my thumb away and glared at me.

"Xiaoyangzi, can we find a way to climb up? This hole doesn't look deep. ”

At this point, I didn't know whether to tell the girl about the kicking I was kicked off, so I said, "They should have noticed that we were missing by now, wait a minute, I'm sure they'll find us." ”

"What is this?" The girl was covered with mucus, and she lowered her head and smelled it, "It's so fragrant!" ”

"Listen to me, I have an idea," I said, looking at the girl, "just idle talk, and if I guess wrong, don't laugh at me." ”

"Okay, this palace is approved, forgive you for your innocence, you can say it." The girl raised her hand and said.
