I don't know how long it took.

In the dark cave, Yuan Ming opened his eyes with some difficulty, only to feel that his eyes were sore and painful, and he subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub them, but suddenly felt a chill from his neck.

"If you don't want to die, don't move." At this moment, a cold and crisp woman's voice sounded.

Chen Wan ...... Masters? Yuan Ming exclaimed hesitantly.

"I'll give you a chance to explain, what the hell is going on?" Chen Wan asked.

She still remembers talking to Kuntu and eating barbecue meat in the temple, and remembers that she seemed to be very sleepy and fell asleep.

In her sleep, she seemed to have a dream of fighting a ferocious beast.

When she awoke, she found herself lying in the arms of the furry beast slave, sleeping in this deep, dimly lit cavern.

Yuan Ming blinked vigorously, still blurred and dizzy.

"You were assassinated by Kuntu and several people, they drugged the meat you ate, and after you fell asleep, they tried to belittle you, but I saved you." Yuan Ming organized the language and said.

"You and I are not related, how can you save me?" Chen Wan obviously didn't believe it, and the coldness in her hand handed it forward again.

"They wanted to kill me in order to kill me, and I had no choice but to kill me." Yuan Ming said.

Chen Wan frowned slightly when she heard this.

Kuntu coveted her, she always knew that she was very resistant to being assigned to a team with him this time, but she never thought that he would dare to use three indiscriminate means against him.

"You lie, Kuntu can kill you, and even Bada and Yang Chan can kill you?" Chen Wan's face was still cold, but her tone was slightly relaxed.

"I can see that an outsider can see that Yang Chan is jealous of you, Bada covets you, they are working together to deal with you, otherwise, where do you think the medicine that can stun you comes from?" Yuan Ming sneered and said.

When Chen Wan heard this, her heart sank.

"And the fire python that chased us in the cave later, you thought it was here to save you? That's for the sake of extinguishing the mouth. Yuan Ming continued to add.

Hearing this, Chen Wan hurriedly touched her sleeve and found that there was really a red fire thunder missing, and then she woke up, it turned out that it was not a dream, but a real experience.

She was still skeptical about what Yuan Ming said, but she still withdrew the dagger that was on the back of Yuan Ming's neck.

Chen Wan rubbed her somewhat sore eyebrows, raised her hand and waved, and a fire lit up in front of her.

The condensed fireball was suspended in mid-air, illuminating the darkness around them, and Yuan Ming could see clearly that they were in a huge underground cave at the moment.

The surroundings were cold and damp, and there were stalactites hanging down above the head, dripping with water on them.

Opposite him, Chen Wan, who was wearing a red dress, had messy hair, many stains on her face, and her clothes were not neat, looking a little embarrassed, and a little pitiful, which made people feel pity.

He only glanced at it, then hurriedly looked away.

Chen Wan subconsciously tightened the clothes on her body, but the coat that had been torn by Kuntu could not be restored to its original state.

Her eyes fell on Yuan Ming opposite, and her brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

I saw that his body was full of abrasions and bruises, although it was no longer bleeding and had formed crusts, it was still a little shocking to look at.

"You're hurt." Chen Wan said.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he looked at himself, saw that the clothes on his arms and legs were worn out, turned his head and looked at his shoulders again.

As soon as he moved, the sharp pain made him grin in pain.

There was a burning pain in his back, which seemed to be worse than the rest of his body.

"Turn around, I'll see." Seeing this, Chen Wan said.

Yuan Ming hesitated slightly, but turned around with pain.

The moment she saw Yuan Ming's back, Chen Wan's eyes widened instantly, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

I saw that it was scorched black, almost the skin of the entire back had been burned black, and the two shoulder blades were exposed white, and the injuries were obviously extremely serious.

"How did he endure such a serious injury?" Chen Wan couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

When she saw that there were no other wounds on her body except for her disheveled clothes and a few insignificant abrasions on her hands and feet, she couldn't help but think: "He was so seriously injured to protect me?" ”

Yuan Ming didn't know what she was thinking, and asked suspiciously, "Okay?" ”

"You have severe back burns, and it will be difficult for you to recover for a while on your own. Don't move, I'll apply some medicine for you......" Chen Wan suddenly came back to her senses, paused slightly, and said.

"No need, I'm ......" Yuan Ming subconsciously wanted to refuse.

As soon as he wanted to turn around, he heard the person behind him say sternly: "Don't move." ”

Yuan Ming couldn't help but be stunned, and really stopped moving.

Immediately after, he heard the sound of the cork being pulled out behind him, and then there was a sudden sharp pain in his back, which made him can't help but let out a low roar.

"Uh......"

Yuan Ming forcibly suppressed the low roar, and the burning pain on his back only lasted for three or four breaths, and then it quickly turned into a strange feeling of cold coldness, and then began to become a little itchy.

He could feel the delicate movements of the woman behind him, sprinkling the powder on every wound on his back.

At this time, the fireball hanging in mid-air suddenly went out, and Chen Wan's movements also stopped.

"The medicinal power of Yuping San is very fast, at most half a day, your wounds can all scab over, and it will take three days to recover as before." Chen Wan's voice came from the darkness.

"Thank you." Yuan Ming thanked him.

He moved a little, and found that the pain in his back had also been reduced a lot, and when he pulled up the white ape skin that was about to be bound to his waist, he draped it over his body.

In the darkness, neither of them spoke again, and fell silent for a while.

After a while, Yuan Ming broke the silence and asked, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, we have to find a way to get out." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of fire lit up again, and flew upwards with a "hula", soaring into the sky, crashing into the dome of the underground cavern, splashing a field of sparks.

"Before you woke up, I checked, we fell out of the vertical hole above, but the turn of the vertical hole has collapsed, and it is impossible to return the way we came." Chen Wan said.

Yuan Ming glanced up, struggled to stand up, stumbled a little, and said, "Then find another way." ”

With that, he looked to the left and right.

"This is a culvert carved out by the underground river, and it should be completely submerged by the river during the flood season. I've seen it, and there are no exits on either side. Chen Wan sighed and said.

When Yuan Ming heard this, he walked more than a dozen steps forward, and sure enough, he saw an underground dark river lying in front of him, the water was gentle, and he couldn't see the depth.

He reached out and touched it, and it was cold and biting.

At this time, Chen Wan also walked over, just glanced at it, and suddenly frowned: "The river has risen, when I came to check before, the waterline has not yet reached this side, why has it risen so much in this moment?" ”

"Although it is not a wet season now, it rained a lot yesterday, and the water level of the underground river will rise, which is not surprising, but I don't know how much it will rise." Yuan Ming groaned.

As he spoke, he walked back to the stone wall on the other side, looked up and down, and his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wan noticed something and asked.

"You see, there is a clear trace of the waterline on the stone wall, which is slightly dry and mossy above, and more damp and smooth below, which shows that this place must have been flooded a lot lately." Yuan Ming said.

Chen Wan looked at the waterline that was higher than a zhang, and her face couldn't help but change slightly.

"If the water continues to rise, it will flood here sooner or later. We can't sit still, we have to find a way to escape. Yuan Ming continued.

"How to escape, there is no way out here." Chen Wan said.

"There is no land, you can go underwater, and there will definitely be an exit from the underground river." Yuan Ming looked at Chen Wan and said.

Chen Wan's face was embarrassed, and she hesitated: "I'...... I'm not water-sensitive. ”

"That'...... I'll go underwater first, and you can wait here for a while. Yuan Ming was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said.

With that, he took off the bronze sword hanging from his waist, took off the white ape skin on his body, and took out a pitch-black animal skin with a pimple skin from his tattered clothes, and draped it on his body.

He walked to the river, activated his mana, and performed the art of fur.

Immediately after, the black animal skin wrapped around his body like a living thing, and soon covered all parts of his body, completing his transformation.

I saw that his whole body was covered with black animal skins, his back was covered with bulging black bumps, which looked very strong, webbed membranes grew between the fingers of his hands, and the same was true between his toes, but his eyes were hung up a lot.

It looked a lot like a humanoid toad.

Chen Wan was startled by his sudden change in appearance, and couldn't help but take a step back and distance herself from him.

Yuan Ming moved his body, opened his mouth and inhaled violently, only to feel a faint surge of air in his chest, and the entire abdominal cavity seemed to have become much larger, and his legs suddenly kicked the ground, jumped up, and fell directly into the river.

A bone-chilling cold hit him, making Yuan Ming in the water couldn't help but shiver, and then kicked his legs, dived underwater in a breaststroke posture, and shuttled away in the direction of the river.

A splash appeared on the water, and soon regained calm, and Yuan Ming's figure disappeared.

Chen Wan stood on the shore and waited quietly.

But after a long time, there was no movement under the water, and Yuan Ming never came back.

At this moment, there was a sudden thunderous sound in the underground cave, and the sound of "boom" made Chen Wan's heart palpitate for a while.

As soon as the fireball was extinguished, she swung it again, illuminating the surroundings.

At this time, her feet suddenly felt cold, and when she looked down, she found that the water level of the underground dark river had actually risen again, and the speed seemed to be faster than before.

Chen Wan hurriedly retreated, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious and worried in her heart.

But the more anxious she became, the faster the roar in the cavern became, and the underground river became turbulent.

Looking at the underground dark river with undulating waves and a significantly faster flow rate, Chen Wan secretly said that it was not good, knowing that this was a sign of a flash flood, I was afraid that the water level would soon rise rapidly, submerging the entire cave.

But Yuan Ming has never been seen.
