A large amount of snow had accumulated on the tall trees in the dense forest, and it had melted and fallen from the top of the branches under the roast of the fire. I was very worried that it would hinder the fire, but I could only stare dryly, but I couldn't do anything about it.

The raging fire made the branches rattle, and the snow on the ground began to melt.

I saw that the fire was almost over, so I was ready to ask the fat man and Chen Dong to come down from the dragon's head.

Suddenly, the ground under his feet shook for a moment, and then the burning tree in front of him suddenly collapsed backwards, slamming into the ground with a thud, and sparks flew everywhere.

I was so frightened that I hurriedly took a step back, only to forget that Tianyu was behind me, and immediately tripped over her body and fell to the ground.

The other members of the Western Expedition were startled by the sudden noise, and when they saw me fall to the ground, they all thought that something had happened to me, and immediately surrounded me.

I was helped up from the ground by Captain Chen, and as soon as I stood up, I immediately turned around and squatted on the ground to check the state of the rain that I was trampling on. As a result, I didn't expect her to wake up, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Suddenly, Kunba called out to everyone in surprise, and I hurriedly looked back. He was found crouching near the fallen trees, pointing to a hole in the ground the size of the bottom of a flower pot for us to come and see.

I saw a swarthy hole in the ground and said to myself, "What's all the fuss about the hole that the tree has fallen to uncover it?" He first lifted Tianyu up from the snow, and then walked very slowly towards Kunba.

As a result, I saw that the fifth master walked to the front of Kun Ba very quickly, and then took out the Luoyang shovel in the backpack, squatted down and shoveled a few shovels near the dark hole. I heard the sound of dirt sliding down. The hole, which was originally only the size of the bottom of a flower pot, has become the size that one person can drill into.

Fifth Master Zha looked up at the fat man and Chen Dong who were still running from a high place. Then he said to Captain Chen beside him, "Tell them to come down." ”

Captain Chen immediately nodded and said, "Okay, you go down first." I stayed at the back to meet them. ”

Zha Wuye nodded, immediately escaped from his arms, and then climbed into the swarthy hole without saying a word, Kun Ba immediately followed and climbed in, and the others also climbed in one after another.

I don't know anything about this dark cave entrance, and I don't understand how Fifth Master Zha can see that this cave entrance leads to other places, but I know in my heart that it is like Fifth Master Zha and Captain Chen. Having been dealing with the depths of the earth for many years, veterans like them must have seen that the hole here might lead to something else.

Now that I had found a way out of the valley, it would be best to have no more trouble luring the mask horseshoe crabs into the forest to burn, but I couldn't help but look at Tianyu worriedly, and she smiled and said to me, "I'm fine, it's not a problem to drill holes." ”

Hearing her say this, I nodded reassuringly, but when I thought of the fat man who had not yet come down from the height. He hung his heart again.

Captain Chen saw my worried look, so he said to me, "Brother Sven, you take Miss Tianyu in first, and I'll pick them up here alone." ”

Captain Chen is a steady and upright person. I know a lot, and I have a lot of experience in fighting, so I trust him very much. He nodded, and let Tianyu get into the cave first. Then I look after her in the back and keep an eye on the situation at any time.

The underground potholes are very narrow. It is very difficult for a strong person to crawl in it, the cave is narrow and damp, and the smell of earth is heavy, much like some kind of small animal that is good at digging holes, digging out of the escape route.

In the darkness, I heard Tianyu's rapid breathing, and knew that she was crawling on her feet. The air in the muddy underground cavern was very thin, and I felt a little difficult to breathe, and my head was very dizzy.

I can't hear the movement of Zha Wuye and the others in front of me, and I am very worried about whether there is really an exit in front; And there was no sound behind him, the fat man and the three of them, I don't know if they can safely get into the hole, those weird white mask horseshoe crabs are definitely not good stubble that can be got rid of lightly!

I was very worried about the situation before and after, and suddenly I felt very itchy on the surface of my left foot, as if I had been nailed to the same place by a dozen mosquitoes. However, I couldn't bend my knees in the narrow hole, so I had to keep crawling forward with the itching pain.

In order to distract myself from the itching on the surface of my feet, I began to recall what had happened before, and I thought to myself: the itching pain on my left foot must be related to the horseshoe crab. I must have been injured before, so now I can't prevent the cold from attacking, so I feel itchy and unbearable.

But I am very glad that soon, the surface of my feet no longer feels itchy and unbearable, and I feel that the injury should be fine. So I concentrated my mind and began to pay attention to the movement in front and behind, and continued to crawl forward in the dark and silent narrow hole.

I don't know how long I crawled in the dark, at first I was okay to ask about the situation of the rain, and she replied weakly: "It's okay, I can persevere." ”

Later, even I didn't have the strength to ask any more questions, so we kept crawling in the darkness.

I couldn't breathe and didn't know how long I crawled, but I finally couldn't help but say to Tianyu, "Wait, let's rest for a while, and then continue." ”

Tianyu did not stop, but panted very badly and said to me: "Don't stop, hold on, I hear a voice ahead." ”

With the crawling speed of me and Tianyu, it is difficult to catch up with the five masters and others in front, if there is a sound in front, it means that the front has come to an end, and the five masters of the five masters they stop advancing, all of us will hear their voices.

The road ahead was promising, and I immediately came to the momentum and shouted loudly to Tianyu: "Come on". He mustered up his strength and quickly crawled forward.

It didn't take long for me to see a faint light coming from in front of me, and as a result, Tianyu and I crawled out of the cave and saw Zha Wuye and others.

After standing up, I checked the condition of Tianyu first, she was sweating, so I asked her to sit down and rest, and then I began to look around.

The hole I climbed out of was at the bottom of the earth wall of a deep pit, which was less than a zhang high, and the width of the man's arms stretched out in a semi-circular arc to the sides, and I felt that the pit might be a ring. The pit was filled with the bones of a large number of small animals, which seemed to be the bones of birds.

Zha Wuye and others saw me come out of the hole, so they walked to the depth from both sides of the deep pit, although I was also very curious, but worried about the fat man behind, so I stood at the entrance of the cave and waited for them.

However, waiting left and right, but there was no trace of them, and they couldn't help lying on the ground very worriedly, looking into the cave frequently.

Suddenly, my left foot began to itch and stinging again, so I took off the shoes and socks of my left foot curiously, and found that on the top of my foot, there were three hard small bulges, as if there were boils, and I couldn't help but wonder very much: Why did the pimples still grow on the surface of my feet?

I was about to take a closer look when I heard a noise in the cave, so I hurriedly put on my shoes and socks, and held the horn scimitar tightly in my hand.

Captain Chen was the first to get out of the hole at the bottom of the pit, and then immediately turned around and stretched out his hand to pull Chen Dong out of the hole, and finally the fat man also got out. As a result, before I could say hello, the three of them collectively pulled out various tools and began to cut the dirt above the hole.

When the fat man saw me, he immediately said to me: "Lao Zheng, don't stand stupidly, come and help, the strange insects are chasing after me." ”

It turned out that the three of them wanted to collapse the dirt on the top of the cave and bury it, and when I saw this, I immediately grabbed the horn scimitar and began to cut through the dirt above.

The earth fell with a clatter, and the horseshoe crabs were buried in the mud and in a pit after another, but many others had already poured into the pit.

I slashed at the dirt wall while constantly stomping on the mask horseshoe crab with my foot. The entrance to the cave was finally blocked by our concerted efforts, and the fat man immediately threw himself into the horseshoe crab that trampled on the horseshoe crab, and as a result he was so scrambled that he did not notice the bones of the birds in the pit, and accidentally tripped and fell into the midst of the dry bones.

I stretched out my hand to pull him up from the ground, but the fat man jumped up from the ground on his own, frowning, and grinning fiercely and shouting, "It hurts." ”

I looked curiously and found that the fat man had been stabbed in the buttocks by sharp small broken bones after falling into the pile of dry bones of the birds, and two slender broken bones were inserted into the fat man's buttocks.

I suddenly felt very funny in my heart, and my heart said: Fat people are really unlucky. But when I saw him grinning, I was in no mood to laugh at him.

When I was helping to pull out the broken bones stuck in the fat man's buttocks, Captain Chen and Chen Dong had quickly eliminated the remaining mask horseshoe crabs.

At this time, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground gasping for breath and resting. At this time, I had the opportunity to take a closer look at the fat man I hadn't seen for a long time, and found that he and Chen Dong's legs were stained with blood, and the pants were all like holes like cigarette butts burning through, extending from the ankles to the thighs, and even the waist and abdomen, and even the chest and mouth There were a few red blood holes sporadically.

I was going to examine the wounds of the two of them, but Captain Chen said, "The hole buried in the mud won't last long, and the masked monster worms will definitely be able to break through, so we'd better get out of here as much as possible, and it's best to find a safe haven to hide." ”

I felt that Captain Chen was very reasonable, so I stood up and looked into the arc-shaped depths on the left hand side of the pit.

Zha Wuye and the others haven't come back yet, I don't know if it's too big in the pit, or if they have already found the exit and are waiting for us to rush over. It seems that we have to look around the pit for a while. But my inner thoughts are more inclined to go up to the ground, after all, the high place has a wide view, and it is more suitable to find a way out.

I told Captain Chen about my thoughts, and he thought it was feasible. We looked up at the ground above the pit, which was about a foot above us, and we had to set up ropes to climb it. So we started to tie the ropes.

At this time, the fifth master came back, and when they saw that the fat man and Chen Dong were safe and sound, they all came over to say hello very happily. (To be continued......)
