There was another cave ahead.

"There are caves everywhere in this canyon!" said Jack, a little impatient, beckoning the other two to sit down and rest again. The fire rods in their hands were running out of fuel, and they were about to go out, and they couldn't find an exit, so they had to stumble like headless flies in the dark.

There are many mountains in Tana, which is all caused by an earthquake a thousand years ago, and it was not like this before, when the Tana Snow Mountain Range was still buried deep in the ground, and now the flat Peter Canyon is 500 kilometers long, which is eroded by rain all the year round, and the groundwater runs through the entire canyon, making the stone of Peter Canyon relatively fragile.

Where Jack and the others are now, the ground is a primeval forest ten kilometers north of the swamp, but they are still five hundred meters above the ground at the moment, and there is often rain in the gaps between the mountains and rocks, so even if it is five hundred meters underground, there will be a little sunlight shining in, but even so, they can't climb out through the gaps.

It was actually dark outside. Coren, on his side, is also sending people to look for Jack along the route they took, after all, human life is the most important thing.

The most important thing at the moment is to quickly find a way to the ground, and take Tex back to deal with the wound, although the water spider is not poisonous, but the things that this carnivore eats every day do not know whether it is poisonous or not, the giant salamander that may have been eaten is covered with highly poisonous black-brown spots, although it is not sure whether Tex was poisoned, but looking at the bruises on his face, it does not look like it was injured by ordinary things. Jack had already seen these anomalies, but he didn't say them just to appease Tex's emotions.

"Okay. Let's get up and hurry up, maybe it's getting dark outside. Luthor said.

The three men got up and walked forward again.

There are indeed a lot of caves under this canyon, and the river around them has stretched for several kilometers. The length of the underground river is not different, but on the contrary, it flows from south to north, just like the beasts twenty years ago.

After passing through an empty cave in front of me, a narrow pitch-black passage appeared a meter above the wall, a strange square entrance, and there was darkness with no end in sight. Jack let go of Tex's hand and looked around with a fire stick, as if there was only one exit left but the waterway.

"Damn, it's terrain like that again!" Jack complained. Before, Turks was a pioneer and entered the road leading to the waterfall, and then encountered danger, and at this time, the same road appeared in front of him, which couldn't help but make people nervous.

In the darkness, Luthor said, "Something is better than nothing, and maybe we can go out except by water." ”

After thinking about it, it seemed that there was only one way, and the three of them decided to go in and take a risk.

Jack climbed up first, and Luthor dragged Tex's up underneath. The passage seems to have been polished by a rough craftsman, with a square outline, but the corners are ambiguous and uneven.

In fact, the most worrying thing is not whether they can get out, but at the end of the passage more than two meters high, will there be some vicious monster waiting for them, if this is the case, then it can only be said that it is unlucky.

Fortunately, the direction of the passage is relatively positive, it is not curved, and the ground is a little wet, but obviously there will be no slipping again, even if there are any monsters in front of and behind you, you can't hide, but you can find it early.

The three of them were extremely united at this time, and they all determined the same goal, that is, to die together, to live together, and the arms that hooked up with each other were all very hard. They are not of the same age, but they can agree with each other, which may be the reflection brought about by the disaster.

"Turks, when you get out, you remember to teach me swordsmanship. Luthor said, I'm the one who uses a sword to save the world, and even if I hold a sword, it's a problem that I can't make it. Jack said.

Tex smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, no problem, since you are my partner in saving the world, then I really have to teach you well, so as not to hold me back." ”

The two were joking with each other, and even Luthor was amused, as if they were not in danger at the moment, but gathered around the family table, eating breakfast and drinking tea, and making fun of each other.

I don't know why, Jack suddenly remembered what happened to himself: "To be honest, I grew up in Garland, and since I was born, I was told that our ancestors originally lived in the territory of Tana, because they didn't trust each other enough, which led to war. It was the first time I had left the island, the first time I had set foot on solid land, and the farthest I had ever been to an island a thousand nautical miles away. When I was a child, my mother used to tell me that when I grew up, I must find a way to escape from Chau Island, after all, life here is monotonous and boring, and people feel like they are being kept in captivity. My parents had long thought of taking me out of the country for a while, but the law wouldn't allow it. As you know, the Garland chiefs determine the content of the law, and they have long said that the Garlanders are not allowed to leave the island for half a step. But the old stubborns finally relented. Life at sea is becoming more and more difficult, the fish are slowly leaving the radius of our life, and our life is difficult. So, the chiefs sent notices asking who wanted to return to the Old World. Then, I was the first to sign up, and I came last. ”

"You've told me something, but I really didn't know that the leader of your Garlands was so unkind. Turks said.

"What's the solution, sometimes when people reach a certain age, they will seek stability, as long as they live, it is better than anything else, who will risk coming to the Old World. Jack said helplessly.

At this time, Luthor also took over the conversation, and he seemed to be more interested in the life of the Garlands: "Hey Jack, by the way, you Garlands live on the sea, are you gathered on the island?"

"No, we live on the 'island of Chau', which is made up of many large ships tied together. We don't have any islands around us, and it is said that the place where the island is located is the southernmost part of the world, and it used to be very cold, and then it was not because of a war in ancient times that caused the glaciers to melt?, by the way, I would love to know about that war, Luther, can you tell me?" Jack was much more interested in the continent than in telling others about his own world.

Luthor humbly said, "Actually, I don't know very much, but since you asked, then I'll tell you what I know." ”

"Well, listen up. Jack responded politely.

Luthor thought for a moment, then straightened up solemnly and slowed down. In the dark, he seemed to suddenly become a learned historian, and he said: "More than a thousand years ago, in ancient times, which was called the most prosperous era of human culture and economy, even the current Missus country is far behind, and even worse, according to my research, the conditions of the Missus country in all aspects can only be compared with the small countries of the human race for more than a thousand years AD, let alone the war. At that time, a well-developed country had more than 10 million soldiers, a wide variety of troops and weapons, and a fairly high standard of living for the people. When you go out, there are cars, airplanes, and other means of transportation, there are high-rise buildings everywhere, reinforced concrete, the houses are flat and beautiful, and the human dining table is also abundant, meat, vegetables, varied and nutritious. It really is the pinnacle of human history!"

"Hmm...... I've read about this in ancient books, and it's said that in the end there was a country that started a war?" asked Jack.

"Yes, after the high level of material development, our ancestors began to look to outer space, eager to seize control of the outside world, so to speak, to occupy a planet, is equivalent to dominating the whole world, and everyone is fighting for it. Then, a contradiction occurred, one country was the first to detonate a nuclear bomb, which led to other countries attacking each other one after another, and finally, the originally peaceful world was destroyed by countless nuclear bombs. Nuclear radiation has been enveloping the world for a long time, and almost no one and no living thing can survive. Then, a thousand years later, our lives are much worse than they used to be. Luther sighed deeply.

"Yes, if they had been more tolerant of others, war could have been avoided, and the impulsiveness of one side led to the destruction of the whole world, how embarrassing it is! Now that I think about it, their reason at that time was only the struggle for land, what is good about land, is it more important than life?" Turks couldn't help but sigh.

Unconsciously, the three of them walked for almost half an hour, and there was still no end in sight, as if there was only darkness here.

"This passage seems to be going up, have you noticed?" Luthor suddenly noticed that something was wrong, for he had just kicked a pebble, which, after tumbling forward, slowly rolled back and came to a halt at his feet, which aroused his suspicions.

Jack noticed it when Luther said this, and besides, the passage seemed to turn invisibly, and he was obviously walking in a straight line, but each time he would move to the wall after walking for a while, and he thought it was because Turks was pressing on his side.

Could it be that this will lead directly to the ground?

"It seems like this, but the slope is not very big, almost not noticeable. Jack said.

But no matter what, for now, it is only possible to go out if you continue to move forward, and if you can go directly to the ground, of course, it is the best.

"Do you hear the water?" said Luther again.

The three of them listened attentively, and there was indeed a sound of water flowing from the front.

A frightened thought popped into Jack's brain: "It can't be...... This passage is a circle!"

The trio quickened their pace, wanting to see the answer in front of them as soon as possible.

If this passage really goes around the entire underground, then the only thing they are about to face is death.

Fortunately, as the water became louder and louder, water began to appear under Jack's feet, and the water gathered more and more, and then it even flowed like a stream into their path, and the wind poured into their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses, and it was a little cold and a little wet.

"It feels...... It's like a rainy day......," Turks said.

If it weren't for Turks saying this, the two of them really wouldn't have thought of what was waiting for them in front of them.

"Tex, we're saved!" exclaimed Jack.

"Haha, it's finally over!" Luthor said excitedly.

However, Turks was still at a loss: "What? What are you talking about?"

The two men didn't explain, they just picked up Tex and quickened their pace.

Finally, after ten minutes of walking, the wind was getting stronger and the current was getting stronger, and the water was getting more and more rapid, even ...... Thunder was heard!

They're out!

In the midst of the storm, the three of them stood excitedly in the rain and shouted, as if the rain could wash away their unforgettable memories of this day. It was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and all I could hear was the wind and rain.

"Luther, can Aohime fly on a rainy day?" asked Jack excitedly.

"Of course not! What do you think? Luthor said.

"Hahaha, it's okay, if you can't fly, you can't fly!hahaha!" Jack was already incoherent with joy.

After the celebration, the three of them hid back in the passage they had just come out of. Looks like we're going to have to do it tonight.

Cologne's side, although he returned to the valley mouth and brought some equipment, but also because of the sudden heavy rain in the evening, when the team just descended to the waterfall, he stopped and went home, the rain outside was too heavy, causing the water in the cave to be too deep and impassable at all, and the group of thirty-one people could only stay in the stone room at the entrance of the beast cave for one night.

"Your Majesty, we have just walked to the mouth of the waterfall and found traces of slippery moss, and it is very likely that Prince Turks and they went down from that side. A soldier reported.

Inside the stone room, the soldiers were setting up makeshift tents, and the campfire lit up Coren's anxious face, and he couldn't imagine if Turks could survive the danger if he fell off the waterfall. There was still no road ahead, and the soldiers could not venture down to the bottom of the waterfall again, so they could only start searching at the bottom of the cave.

The thirty soldiers were also restless when they received the news that Prince Turks might be killed, but they also knew nothing about the situation underground, and although they wanted to search for their whereabouts overnight, the rain hit the ground, and the water was so strong that they could not get their feet in the cave, and the risk was only a dead end.

As the night deepened, the rain slowly stopped, and the soldiers in the tent were all asleep, but only Coren still did not dare to close his eyes, because as soon as he closed his eyes, the image of Tex calling out to him instantly appeared in his mind, and this image pierced his heart deeply.

The three of Jack, although the rainy night is cold, is certainly much better than staying in the damp and dark underground, at least there are no monsters out there that will suddenly appear and hurt them. Jack brought in some large rocks, and the three of them sat on the stones, leaning against the wall and falling asleep.

The night was silent.
