Chapter Seventy-One: The Underground Cavern
The fat man sighed at the investigation ability of the fifth master, and I said to him: "The fifth brother's business is so big, if the criminal investigation ability is not strong, he would have been arrested by the big cap a long time ago." ”
The fat man nodded and said, "That's right." Then he looked behind him and asked me in a low voice, "Lao Zheng, you said that this bloodstain is not the group of people under Kunba?" ”
I replied, "There is no one else here except the members of our expedition to the west." Now that Kunba's subordinates are gone, you say it's not them, who else can it be? ”
The fat man said with a disapproving expression, "Can you guarantee that there are no other people here with just our group?" ”
Hearing the fat man say this, I immediately thought of our competitors, who can guarantee that they did not send some people to follow behind and spy on our side. Perhaps, not only for the purpose of spying on intelligence, but also to ensure that they will not weigh their interests and do something out of the ordinary.
We are now far away from the camp in order to find the inexplicably missing people, and I can't help but worry. We anxiously searched for people, and hurriedly left the camp, without any equipment and weapons, if we were alone in the encounter with bad people, it would be a bad thing, it is better to be vigilant.
So I whispered to the fat man, "You're right. I'm not sure what the situation is now, but it's better to be careful. You follow me closely, don't leave my side. ”
At this time, I suddenly remembered that Tianyu had left her alone in the camp, and I couldn't help but be a little worried. But on second thought, she was now in a safe base camp, and she shouldn't have to worry too much.
The sky gradually brightened, and the visibility around me became much clearer. A group of us left the camp. A carpet search began westward, but the results were unsatisfactory, except for the sporadic bloodstains. Nothing else was found.
The fat man muttered that he was hungry and wanted to go back to camp. Many people also feel that such a search is in vain, and those people may really have escaped.
And just when everyone began to retreat, the black-clothed chubby man under Kun Ba suddenly screamed, and then the lower half of his body quickly sank into the ground. And the upper body exposed to the ground struggled desperately.
At this time, someone wanted to pull him, but was stopped by Kunba: "It's quicksand." Don't go over. ”
Hearing that it was quicksand, everyone hurriedly stopped, away from the little fat man in black, and waited for me and the fat man to get closer. I only saw the chubby head in black.
I left and shouted, "What are you doing?" Hurry up and save people. ”
And the people around me are indifferent, although I know very well in my heart that I can't save it, the power of quicksand is extraordinary, but I can't just see death like this.
I said to the fat man beside me, "You hold me, I'm lightweight, I'll go and save him." ”
However, as soon as I finished speaking, the chubby head in black disappeared.
The fat man said to me with a lonely look, "It's too late." ”
I couldn't get enough of it, so I stared intently at the sand in front of me. But a question came up in my heart, this is not a big desert. On the surrounding sand ground, there are obviously some plants growing, how could there be a quicksand land.
At this moment, on the ground where the black-clothed little fat had just sunk down, the sand suddenly seemed to flow into an hourglass, and it quickly flowed downward and fell, gradually forming a small whirlpool of rotation.
Behind me suddenly came an exclamation, "No, run." ”
Looking at the ground in front of us that had collapsed into a black hole, the fat man and I hurriedly turned around and ran away. After running a short distance, the black vortex stopped, revealing a black square hole in the ground.
Everyone looked at the dark square cave and discussed whether to go over and have a look.
Someone immediately disagreed: "It's too dangerous, more is better than less, let's go back to camp quickly." It was Kun Ba who said this, and he looked at the mouth of the dark hole very timidly.
I was very surprised to look at the black hole in the distance, and said to myself: How can this hole be square, it is very strange, and I can't help but agree with Kunba's idea, and it is better to leave kuài.
However, just as everyone turned around and was about to leave, they suddenly heard someone shouting "Help" in the dark square cave. ”
Everyone turned around in surprise and looked at the dark hole.
After the accident, everyone felt that there was no point in continuing the search, so they decided to return to the base camp.
But suddenly I heard the sound of shouting "help" from the black hole where the ground collapsed. couldn't help but look at each other, they were all surprised, so they all turned their heads and ears, pushing and shoving each other, but no one dared to take a half step forward.
The cries for help from the collapsed cave were clearly visible, and gradually everyone heard someone shouting loudly: "Kun Ye, help." Kun Ye, save me. ”
At this time, someone under Kun Ba finally couldn't help but say to Kun Ba: "Master, it seems to be a chubby voice." ”
The people next to him also immediately said, "That's right, it's Chubby's voice." Chubby isn't dead yet. "Yes! He's not dead, he's alive, and we have to save him. ”
When Kun Ba heard the people around him say this, he clearly knew in his heart that the black-clothed little fat fell into the hole and did not die. However, it was obvious that there was a possibility of another collapse around the cave, which was very dangerous, and when he saw that there were still clods of earth collapsing from the edge of the cave and falling into the ground, he suddenly showed a hesitant and panicked expression.
When the fifth master heard that the person was not dead and could still be saved, he immediately walked towards the cave that collapsed, and the fat man and I immediately followed.
The three of us walked to the entrance of the cave and realized that this was not a quicksand area, but a landslide caused by the surface of the bottom crust falling off. At the place of collapse, you can see the soil layer below, which is a layer of bedrock structure, like a mille-feuille. The ground is very firm, and although there is still sand rolling into the pothole, there will be no further collapse.
When Kun Ba saw that the fifth master and we had arrived at the entrance of the cave, he had no choice but to walk over with his subordinates.
The crowd craned their necks and looked into the dark cave. I don't know if it's because the hole in the cave is too deep, or if there is something inside that blocks the light, after looking down, except for the darkness, it's still dark, and I can't see the figure of the chubby man in black.
Kun Ha asked one of his men with a loud voice to shout below, and after taking a deep breath, the man lay on the ground and shouted into the cave, "Chubby, are you down there?" ”
A group of people were lying at the entrance of the cave and listening, and they clearly heard the echo of the emptiness, and it seemed that the cavern was very wide underneath.
As soon as the people above finished shouting, they immediately replied from below: "I'm down there, help me up." ”
As soon as they heard that the people underground were still alive, everyone's feelings were obviously high, and many people were stretching ropes to pull the black-clothed little fat up.
The person in charge of shouting under Kun Ba continued to shout below: "Don't worry, we'll help you up right away." Have you ever been injured? Can you act on your own? Do you know how deep this hole is? How long of rope do we have to prepare to pull you up? ”
After listening to the shouts of Kunba's subordinates, I said in my heart: This guy's lung capacity is so good, he can shout such a long list of nonsense in one breath. Can Chubby who falls under the bottom not get hurt? Besides, he knew how long the rope needed to save him. As a result, the following answer surprised me a lot.
I heard a chubby answer from below, "I'm not hurt." "It's not deep, I can see you." "Also, you'd better come down, there seem to be living people down here."
After listening to Xiaopang's answer, everyone couldn't be calm all of a sudden.
The person under the cave can see us, and it is normal for us to see him, because of the light, which also means that the cave is not too deep. And he was not injured at all, which can only praise his good life. However, he said that there are still people underground, which makes it difficult for everyone to understand. He was the only one who fell, this is something that everyone can see, how can there be other people?
Kun Ba's subordinates are all six gods and no masters, and when he speaks, the fifth master also looks at him, after all, it is his subordinates who fall, and they usually stay by his side, he is the one who knows the situation best.
Kun Ba saw everyone's eyes asking for opinions, so he kept stroking the mustache on his mouth with his fingers, and then said thoughtfully: "I think, the collapse just now is so thrilling, how can the little fat who fell down not be injured?" Moreover, this hole in the ground obviously only appeared after the collapse just now, how could there be other people below?
After saying a lot of questions, Kunba stopped twisting his beard and came to the conclusion that Chubby was dead, and then he wanted to trick us into going down and walking with him on Huangquan Road.
After listening to Kunba's words, I almost didn't laugh out loud, and I couldn't help but sigh at his imagination in my heart. Even if he doesn't dare to go down himself, he has to find a reliable reason to make up, who will believe it, can he convince the public?
As a result, to my surprise, I saw Kunba's subordinates, all of whom nodded convincingly, looking like this. I was so surprised that my jaw almost didn't fall to the ground, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes, and said in my heart: I have heard that Kunba's subordinates are all outlaws who rape and commit adultery, kidnapping and plundering, but now it seems that no matter how you look at it, they are a group of simple babies who want to die, so it can be seen that the rumors are not to be believed.
I smiled and said to this group of people who were brainwashed by Kunba: "The hole is not deep, and Chubby fell down with a large amount of sand, so it is normal that he is not injured." The purpose of our coming out this time is to find people, maybe some of them have fallen into the ground like this, and maybe the underground caves lead in all directions, but as a result, they happened to be seen by the little fat who fell, which is also a possibility. "Listening to my explanation, Kunba's subordinates first looked at me, and then at Kunba, not knowing who to believe. (To be continued......)
