A few people pulled Qin Shuyu and Du Jian up, quickly turned the big tree and ran back to the previous place.

Sure enough, Ye Qinglin and the entourage beside him were gone!

The entire forest suddenly felt silent, except for the stampede of five or six people led by Qin Shuyu and Du Jian, the occasional bird chirping and the rustle of leaves blown overhead, there was no other movement.

Ye Qinglin and a group of entourages seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"Keep up, don't spread out, be careful underground, there may be traps or holes in the ground." Du Jian said to the five subordinate brothers behind him.

"What about Ajia? He should be familiar with this place, and he shouldn't disappear without saying a word! Qin Shuyu's face was solemn, holding the knife in both hands, and slowly moved forward with Du Jian.

"I don't know, I don't know which trap I fell into with the eldest prince!" Du Jian and Qin Shuyu were close to their backs, each facing one direction to prevent being plotted behind their backs.

The five subordinates also turned their backs to their own people and followed Qin Shuyu and Du Jian to search.

A group of people, like dead branches and rotten leaves all over the ground, are anxious and nervous, and occasionally a leaf is blown down by the wind, and they can also cut it with a knife as if facing a great enemy.

They were nervous, of course, not because they were afraid of death, but because it was too weird here, it was just a few blinks of an eye, they climbed up from the pit behind the tree, and when they came here, in a short time, Ye Qinglin and a group of entourages disappeared.

Even if it falls into a pit where the dead leaves are buried, they should be able to hear the sound when they fall, or they must be able to hear the shouts of Du Jian and Qin Shuyu now, even if they are attacked, it will not be so many people in the whole team who have lost consciousness, and none of them can call for help, even Du Jian's screams in the pit where he fell behind the tree at the beginning, they can hear it, but why are Ye Qinglin and them silent?

The surroundings were very quiet, the silence was creepy, Qin Shuyu carefully looked at the dead leaves under his feet, touched Du Jian with his elbow and whispered: "Pay attention to your feet, there are footprints, follow the footprints, don't make a noise." ”

Du Jian nodded, looked down, and sure enough, he found that there were dead leaves that had been trampled, and the two of them walked over along the traces of the stepping, and the five people behind did not know their intentions, so they were vigilant to the queen of the palace.

In fact, there is no road in this forest, there are small trees under the big trees, no matter which direction they go, they have to rely on their hands to push away the bushes, in order to move forward, and only to see if there are traces of people walking on the ground, so they can actually find it very difficult, they can only look around to investigate, so the speed of finding is also very slow.

Qin Shuyu and Du Jian were both sweating profusely, it was very cold in this forest, the sun couldn't shine inside, they were nervous in a cold sweat, they turned their heads to look at the five brothers behind them, they were more nervous than them, they always wiped their palms with their clothes, even their palms were sweaty, and they couldn't hold the knife.

I don't know how long I touched it, I don't know how long it was, I couldn't see how long the road was, and the small trees of uneven height blocked the view.

There is a sound of water in front, and it is not small, the further you go, the louder the sound of water, not the sound of dingdong, it is the sound of rustling water, indicating that it may be a small waterfall.

Sure enough, Qin Shuyu and Du Jian pushed aside the bushes, and there was a cliff at their feet, and below the cliff was a deep pool, and on the opposite side, there was a waterfall that fell straight down from the top of the mountain.

The traces of dead leaves, when they get here, are broken, and there is no way out.

Qin Shuyu and Du Jian glanced at each other, both of them were a little flustered in their eyes, they also thought in their hearts that they might have found the wrong direction, or the dead leaves that were trampled on the ground were not stepped on by the eldest prince Ye Qinglin's team at all, if not, then they would have to turn back, go back to the place where they were scattered, and then continue to look nearby.

"What should I do?" Qin Shuyu looked at the smooth stone wall below, at least dozens of zhang high, if it fell, the bones would not be found.

"Let's go back!" Du Jian had no choice but to wave his hand to the five brothers behind him and signal them all to retreat.

Before they could take a few steps back, a thigh-thick long wooden block flew sideways, Qin Shuyu and Du Jian and the five men behind them didn't have time to react, they were all pushed off the cliff and fell into the deep pool, like a duck, "plopped" and smashed out seven puddles, splashing high.

Qin Shuyu's mind was blank for a while, and then he reacted, they were plotted, there were really other people in the forest, fortunately, he was not afraid of water, from childhood to adulthood, he lived in Taoyuan Village, and he didn't miss fishing and bathing in the river, and he also created his own dog planing style to play in the water.

So Qin Shuyu was the first to emerge from under the water and shouted on the water, "Is there anyone else who can breathe?" ”

There was a black spot on the water again, because the head was smaller a little further away from the pool, and the black spot shook its head: "Damn, how do you pant under the water?" "It's Du Jian.

Then the other five also came out one after another, Qin Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there is a waterhole under this cliff, and the waterhole is deep enough, the important thing is that these people are familiar with the water, otherwise they will all be explained here.

"Du Jian, swim to the side to find where you can go ashore!" Qin Shuyu shouted like this, it was he who found himself at the mouth of the pool, although the current was not urgent, but below was a higher cliff, if he was not familiar with the nature of the water, I am afraid that he would have been carried down by the current.

"You swim to me first, and the brothers swim to me, don't stay at the outlet." Du Jian understood.

Qin Shuyu swam over quickly, and also took a clumsy brother with him, swimming all the way inside, reaching out to grab the stone wall, before stopping there and panting heavily.

Soon several people swam together, Qin Shuyu looked up, the cliff where he was standing was absolutely unable to go up, the stone wall, naturally straight, the mist of the waterfall on the opposite side drifted all the year round, seeping into the stone wall, the tide was wet and slippery and covered with moss, even the gods could not fly up.

And on this side, there is a waterfall that falls from a mountain dozens of feet high, and there is no place to climb, which is difficult!

"How is this good, I can't go up, I don't dare to jump, do you want to be a dragon king here?" Du Jian also found out.

"Brothers, investigate along the stone wall, be careful, the water is so deep, I don't know what will be below, find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise you will really be a shrimp soldier and crab general!" Qin Shuyu commanded.

A few of his subordinates had to swim in the stone wall, in fact, the waterhole is not big, about not an acre, you can see at a glance whether there is a road to climb, but Qin Shuyu doesn't want to sit still, he has read the book of soldiers, if you lead the troops to fight, to boost morale, you must do something in a desperate situation, if you don't do it, you can only wait for death, even if you encounter any danger again, the worst situation is just death.

Turned his head to look at Du Jian, there was no one missing, this guy didn't know when he was walking away from him, maybe he was busy watching those subordinates investigate just now, and he didn't care too much, but now when he looked around, he couldn't find him.

"Du Jian?" Qin Shuyu shouted, he was very worried, could it be that this guy has poor water quality and can't hold on to sinking to the bottom, right?

Qin Shuyu took a deep breath, got into the water, opened his eyes and swam to find Du Jian, only to find that in fact, the underwater is bigger than the place above, and I don't know how deep, after swimming for a long time, I felt that I was not full of qi, so I had to float up to breathe, and I sucked up again and sank, thinking that if this Du Jian really fell into the bottom of the pool, after so long, I am afraid that he will have to braid!

He can't shout under the water, he can only open his eyes to see, where is there anything like a person, and there is no sense of direction when swimming, but he is not worried, because the underwater space is always limited, and he can't float up at most if he doesn't know where he is, can he still go to the sky?

After swimming for a while, a light appeared in front of him, Qin Shuyu didn't think about it, and swam towards the light at the bottom of the water.

The time under the water was a little long, Qin Shuyu wanted to go up to change his breath and come down, but when he reached the bright place, he found that it was a hole, so he drilled over, the light here is obviously better than the bottom of the waterhole over there, it should be because there is no high mountain on the water surface to block it.

When Qin Shuyu emerged from under the water, he was startled by what he saw.

It is the heartbeat of joy.

On this side, there is a shore on the water, on the left side is a high mountain, and under the stone wall against the water is a huge stone cave, and on the other side, there is a flat area overgrown with weeds, and it seems that there are still people walking on the path.

Du Jian's guy was standing in the stone cave recessed under the stone wall, looking at Qin Shuyu who had just bubbled.

"Shuyu, you kid, you've also found it, go back and call all the brothers over, you can go here!" Du Jian shouted Qin Shuyu in the water.

Qin Shuyu hurriedly dived under the water again, hurried back to the waterhole over there, and quickly brought a few brothers over and climbed ashore.

One by one, they sat wet on the boulder, panting.

"Du Jian, why didn't you come here by yourself and didn't call me, I thought you were eaten by the Dragon King, and dived under the water to find you for a long time!" Qin Shuyu complained.

Take off your robe, twist your clothes, and shake it hard, trying to dry the water, it's winter, if it weren't for the sun during the day, I'm afraid it would have been frozen, and the sun would go down the mountain, and the night would be even colder.

"Didn't I hear you say, the waterhole is so deep, I'm afraid that there are some monsters under the water, do you want to drill down to see, I didn't expect to get here, hahaha, it's really unpredictable, I actually found a way for us!" Du Jian was visibly relaxed.

Knocking on the stone to prepare for the fire, several subordinates helped to pick up dry branches, planning to dry the clothes in the stone cave first, and then find a way to find Ye Qinglin.

Qin Shuyu and Du Jian hurriedly lit a fire, making thick smoke billowing out, and choking their faces into the bottom of the pot, and finally made the fire prosperous, and began to build a wooden rack next to it to dry clothes.

It was about the smoke of the fire that was discovered.

There was a movement of weeds on the shore opposite the waterhole, and those weeds that were taller than people were obviously not naturally swaying by the wind.

"Someone!" Du Jian whispered.

"Everyone, be on guard!" Qin Shuyu was shirtless, picked up the knife, and looked at the opposite shore.

The person on the other side also seemed to hear the sound of drawing a knife here, and the weeds stopped swinging, and they didn't show their heads for a long time.

"Du Jian, do you want us to go over and see who it is, it's the mountain bandits who just caught it, and try it for a trial to see where they got the eldest prince!" Qin Shuyu frowned and said, he hates those sneaky people on the other side the most, if he wants to do it, he will come out and do it, always making traps and plotting to make people irritated.
