Chapter 238: Strange Waterhole
Since General Zhao has recovered a lot, the team is naturally led by General Zhao again.
The flame tiger outside has not left a single step in the past few days, but it has never broken into the cave without permission, although everyone does not know why, but they know that as long as they stay in the cave temporarily, they will not be attacked by the flame tiger.
But they are not without crisis.
Even if Rong Yao had space and replenished them with a lot of supplies, these materials were limited and could not be inexhaustible.
General Zhao personally went to count the supplies.
There are also some medicines, enough to heal everyone's injuries, and there are six bundles of firewood, two bags of rice, two bags of dried vegetables, and two bags of salted meat.
There were now twelve people in the team, and the supplies and food were only enough for them for five or six days.
If the Flame Tiger had been guarding the entrance of the cave, would they have never been able to go out? No way! They can't wait.
The beast tide will start in about twenty days, and they must rush back before the beast tide hits the gathering place!
So, after consulting with the others, General Zhao decided that everyone would first recuperate in this cave for three days, and after three days, they must try to leave this cave.
There is a small pond in the cave where water is dripping from a crevice in the rock above, so water is not a problem.
The problem of basic survival was solved, and the lightly injured were responsible for continuing to explore the cave, and the seriously injured concentrated on recuperating from their injuries, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The flame tiger at the entrance of the cave seems to be on a bar with them, and has been lying on its stomach and not leaving, not only did it not leave, but the injuries on its body are actually more than half healed, as long as there is movement at the entrance of the cave, the flame tiger roars fiercely towards the entrance of the cave.
Three days passed, and the food that Rong Yao took out became less and less, and the people trapped in the cave became more and more anxious.
On the fourth day, General Zhao commanded the people to break through the cave, but they were unsuccessful.
They miscalculated the recovery ability of the Flame Tiger, and in just a few days, the strength of the Flame Tiger had recovered to its peak, and most of the people in their team were not yet healed, and they were caught off guard by the Flame Tiger when they went out, and they also lost an elite soldier.
No, everyone had no choice but to return and hide in the cave again.
The people who returned to the cave were all wounded, and although they were not as heavy as before, the loss of a teammate was not a big blow to them.
Sun Tianshuo asked General Zhao a little frustrated, "General, what should we do now?" ”
General Zhao had no other way for a while, but to reassure everyone, "Don't worry, everyone have a good rest tonight." ”
Sun Tianshuo scratched the back of his head, "Our food will be finished tomorrow, we can't stay in this cave all the time, tomorrow at dawn, if you can't think of a good way, tomorrow I will break off, general, you take the rest of the people and leave quickly!" ”
As soon as Sun Tianshuo's words were finished, Ji Chuan's slap fell on the back of his head, "What are you talking about, Xiao Sun, I am older than you and more experienced than you, and I will break it for you, and it will not be your turn!" ”
General Zhao said angrily: "Okay! Rest! You think you're all so powerful, and if you say it's broken, you'll break it! Don't even put your own life on the line, it's also a burden on your teammates! ”
After being with General Zhao for so long, it was the first time for Rong Yao to see this general get angry.
As soon as General Zhao said this, Sun Tianshuo Jichuan suddenly died down, and the rest of the people in the cave fell silent.
After eating at night, Yue Ren would take Chu Bin and Ji Yong to the entrance of the cave to keep vigil, while Rong Yao pulled Xiao Mohan to stand up and said to General Zhao: "General, let's go into the cave and have a look." ”
The interior of this cave, General Zhao had already sent someone to inspect it several times, and there was nothing special, but Rong Yao and Xiao Mohan wanted to go and see it, and he didn't stop it.
General Zhao nodded, "If you find anything, come back and call us." ”
Rong Yao agreed.
The two men walked towards the depths of the cave with torches.
Ji Chuan and the others had inspected the cave before and came back to talk about the structure of the cave.
This cave is not deep, there is a fork in the road more than ten meters inside, divided into two holes, there is a small waterhole in the cave on the left, and there is nothing in the cave on the right. The two caves were almost twenty or thirty meters deep.
Rong Yao and Xiao Mohan went to the cave on the right first, carefully inspected and knocked on the cave wall, and then walked to the deepest part of the cave, and found nothing special.
Rong Yao turned his head and asked Xiao Mohan on the side, "Xiao Mohan, have you found anything?" ”
Xiao Mohan still had that expressionless handsome face, he shook his head, the same as Rong Yao.
The two had no choice but to come out of the cave on the right and turn into the cave on the left.
It's also all the way to the deepest.
In fact, the cave on the left is similar to the one on the right, except that there is a shallow pool in the cave on the left, the water is clear, and from time to time water droplets drip down from the rock cracks.
Other than that, it's really no different.
Xiao Mohan's handsome face was a little disappointed in those deep eyes.
was about to leave, but saw Rong Yao standing by the waterhole in a daze.
Xiao Mohan frowned slightly and walked to Rong Yao's side, "Did you find anything?" ”
Rong Yao looked down at the water droplets falling into the pool, splashing small splashes, and then following the droplets, she raised her eyes and looked up, her eyes falling on the rock cracks.
She muttered to Xiao Mohan beside her, "How can there be water here?" It's obviously the same environment, but the cave next to it doesn't have it. ”
Rong Yao's words were enlightening, and Xiao Mohan also looked up at the rock crevice.
There must be something behind the crack in the stone of the drop of water, maybe it is through a waterfall, I don't know?
As long as there is a possibility of going outside, then it is worth their try!
Xiao Mohan took the initiative to say, "I'll call General Zhao to come over and have a look." ”
Rong Yao nodded.
Soon General Zhao and others were called over.
Rong Yao told General Zhao his thoughts, and General Zhao's eyes lit up, and he had to say that this method was worth trying.
If there was another way out of the cave in the cracks, they would be able to sneak away and no longer confront the flame tiger at the entrance of the cave.
Although the four-star demonic beast Flame Tiger is fierce and grudgeful, but after all, it is a four-star demonic beast, and its IQ is still a big gap with the orcs, if they really find another way out of this cave, the Flame Tiger will not have time to pursue them even if they find it.
General Zhao sent someone to inform Yue Renhui and the other three who were keeping vigil at the entrance of the cave, and once they had a chance to leave, someone would come to inform them and let them temporarily stay at the entrance of the cave to paralyze the Flame Tiger.
After Rong Yao put the remaining supplies back into the space, the others gathered by the waterhole.
In the ranks of the city defense army, although General Zhao's strength fell to spiritual cultivation, overall, his strength was still the strongest.
With a wave of his right hand, the long sword at his waist burst out, and then it was wrapped in a white air current, and the long sword stabbed directly into the rock crevice.
With a "bell", the long sword pierced into the crack of the rock, knocking off only a stone the size of a human head, but the overall wall of the cave did not change.
Next, General Zhao knocked with his long sword more than ten times in succession like this.
The small pool was almost filled with knocked stones, and everyone could clearly feel that the rock crevice had become larger, and the water flowing out of the rock crevice had also increased.
