Chapter 51: Cornered

An ancient cave opened, emitting a strong smell of sulfur, which made Yun Ruojie frown.

Come to think of it, this dusty basement that has been sealed for a long time, has not been ventilated from the outside world, and the smell of decay is really extremely unpleasant.

In the depths of the passage, the mysterious beast was wandering, hesitating whether to move forward, but as soon as the silver gate opened, it instantly stopped moving, as if it was greatly frightened, and turned around and left, which was a violent run without the slightest stop.

Yun Ruojie was hesitating at this time, not knowing that the fierce beast had been scared away. She picked up Yuan Weiji, who was still emitting golden light in a coma, gritted her teeth, paced small steps, and entered the dark gate.

Inside the gate, the pitch-black hand could not see his five fingers. Yun Ruojie gently tapped on the door with her hand, making a heavy buzzing sound, making her nod in satisfaction. With the sturdiness of this gate, the fierce beast outside can't attack it unless it is metamorphosed to a certain level.

Yun Ruojie turned around and stared at the darkness in front of her. She was seriously injured and lost her lighting tools, gritting her teeth and holding Yuan Weijian groping her way forward in the dark.

She stretched out her hand and walked along the edge of the cellar, her fingers running over the rough stone wall, each step making a soft sound that seemed to strike at her heartstrings and sent shivers down her heart.

She was not afraid, and after taking that step, her heart became very calm, and her Dao heart was extremely firm at this time. She herself is also a person who has gone through a lot of training, and she is not a flower in a greenhouse, plus she was stimulated by Yuan Weijian before, and her mood has reached a higher level.

Footsteps rustled, the cellar was a little wet, and the sound of water droplets could be heard. The chamber was nearly hermetically sealed, had not been seen for hundreds of years, had a very low oxygen concentration, and was so hot and dizzy that it made people dizzy.

After staying in an environment for a long time, people will slowly adapt. Yun Ruojie was gradually unaffected by the extremely unpleasant stench, no matter how dizzy her mind was, the low oxygen state made her very uncomfortable.

She wrinkled her nose, suddenly thought of a serious problem, and looked at Unruly worriedly. The humidity here is heavy, and the unruly wounds are large, and once the cold enters the body, it can cause infection, and in this closed cellar it can be troublesome.

She glanced back, then shook her head, the golden light on Yuan Weijian's body had receded, and she couldn't see his condition clearly, and she could only resign herself to fate at this time.

What she didn't see was that the internal bones and flesh of Yuan Weiji's body were shaking together, as if they were exchanging blood and regenerating, and the external wounds had gradually faded, and the blood that had seeped out had been reabsorbed and transformed, making it more pure.

There was a dead silence in the cellar, not a trace of life, and it was eeriely clammy and cold. In the distance, the faint sound of water droplets can be heard in unseen places, falling to the ground from time to time, making a crisp sound.

There were no dangers along the way, after all, the bomb shelter was a place for refugees to take refuge, and no weapons were too dangerous.

And the danger of their lives on the way is purely an unknowable factor, and as the years go by, this cellar is hidden deep in the soil, and it has sunk to the ground hundreds of meters, which is really unexpected.

"Smack!"

Yun Ruojie's hand suddenly touched a stone object, which felt like a stone carving, and then reached forward half an arm and touched the wall.

Yun Ruojie knew that she had come to the far corner of the air-raid shelter, and she and Yuan Weijian were safe for the time being. However, the air quality here is only enough for them to stay here for a day at most, or they will be in danger of new lives.

Fingers gently brushed the rough stone, along the cracks on it, Yun Ruojie was pleasantly surprised, this turned out to be a stone platform!

She slowly lowered the uninhibited and made him sit on the ground reclining in a comfortable position. After determining Yuan Weiji's state, she had the strength to figure out this ancient stone platform.

The stone platform was only one person high, and it was very dilapidated, with two or three cracks running through it. The countertops and countertops were covered with dust, several centimeters thick, and so dirty that even cobwebs could hardly be seen.

Yun Ruojie reached out and touched the stone platform, and sure enough, there was a hint of joy in her eyes. She found a candle on the stone platform!

"Hoo ......"

Yun Ruojie breathed a sigh of relief, took out the broken match in the bag, and wiped it gently, and a faint flame ignited from the top of the match.

She hurriedly and carefully guarded the flame with her hands, slowly lifted it for fear that it would suddenly go out, and then lifted the short match above her head and placed it on top of the candle.

Suddenly, a not-so-bright halo lit up the corners of the cellar, swaying slightly, and the yellow candlelight sprinkled on the faces of the two men, making their faces look serene and sacred, and the uninhibited eyelids twitched slightly.

Yun Ruojie finally laughed, it seemed that the oxygen concentration here was not too low, which could support the burning of this candle flame, and they could take a breath for the time being.

Yun Ruojie had a chance to look around under the glitter of light, and she found that this place was not spacious, and the faint candlelight that spread could illuminate the entire room.

There was a sense of oppression on the floor and around the room, solid, but uneven, slightly twisted and deformed, with a few shocking cracks. This scene is like a large crater left by a meteorite hitting the surface, which is very strange.

The cellar was extremely empty, largely unobstructed by candlelight, with only stone platforms at four corners.

Yun Ruojie didn't light the other candlesticks, because one candle was enough, and lighting too many candles would consume too much oxygen.

She leaned her back against the stone wall, thinking carefully about the way out, for the situation here was completely unexpected.

Not to mention that there are no bones of people who have unfortunately fallen in this bomb shelter, except for candlesticks, there are no traces and resources that are very unscientific. According to her expectations, there should be at least some basic facilities here, after all, it is reserved for people to take refuge.

"Is there a secret door here that leads to the real cellar?"

Yun Ruojie whispered, guessing with her heart, feeling that she was likely to have guessed the truth.

As soon as she thought of it, she took out a small metal rod, struck it on the stone wall, and walked along the surrounding walls.

The terrain is semi-sloping, and the candlelit corner is at its lowest point, and it takes a little more effort to get somewhere else.

However, Yun Ruojie walked very easily, and she didn't have any difficulty at all. She adjusted her breathing, and in the hot and humid air, sweat stuck a wisp of green silk to her smooth forehead, but unfortunately the silent darkness buried this coquettishness.

"Ding Ding ......"

A crisp sound sounded from both sides of the stone wall, and it was Yun Ruojie beating with a metal rod, tentatively trying to find out the possible dark room.

Along the way, the clanging sound slowly moved forward, and soon, Yun Ruojie had already walked to the corner of the stone wall opposite the silver gate, and kept beating on it, pricking up her ears and listening carefully.

"Huh?"

Yun Ruojie's ears trembled slightly, and a trace of joy appeared on her face.

Just now, as she was striking a small stone, she heard a sound that sounded like an empty space.

The difference is so small that it's easy to overlook. But with her powerful sense of hearing, she noticed it and discovered the mystery!

Her face became solemn, she wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and gently shook the clod of earth with her hand to test its reality.

The clod was the size of a palm, or a stone, and its edges were tightly clamped with the surrounding stone walls, and the color was very similar, making it difficult to find.

However, it was this inconspicuous clod of soil that seemed to grow on the stone wall, and no matter whether Yun Ruojie pushed or pulled, it did not move at all.

Yun Ruojie's vigilance in her heart was even worse, her body was a little farther away from the stone, she picked up a stone from the ground, and pressed it on the small clod of soil on the stone wall with her fingers.

However, no matter how hard Ren Yun Ruojie tried, she couldn't make the clod loosen in the slightest.

She sighed, a little unwilling, but let it go for the time being, marked it here, and continued to tap around the cellar.

However, she listened cautiously, discerning the different timbres, and even surveyed the ground and above, but found no other anomalies.

Eventually, she circled around again, returning to the marker she had been before.
