Chapter 198: Escape, Tianchi Boiling Water!
Zhu Cheng was transporting stone chips behind, and suddenly heard his screams, and then saw him rush back in a panic, and immediately understood that something was wrong, and hurriedly threw down the things in his hand and fled with all his strength along the secret passage......
As they ran, they shouted to warn the three women in the distance, and soon, the five of them ran together. There was an earth-shattering thud behind them, followed by a huge spurt of boiling water, which rushed into the entire secret passage in an instant, rushing in the direction they were fleeing.
Qianqian was clumsy, running and about to fall, You Zhukong dragged Qianqian and pulled her to sprint with all her might, but she still fell behind, only to hear the sound of water getting louder and closer.
Soon, the waves were already crashing under their feet. You Zhukong's mind was racing, and he vaguely felt that he was in a catastrophe, and he estimated that there was still half an hour before he returned to the campus, but the boiling water behind him would drown them in less than a minute.
Thinking of this, he suddenly gritted his teeth, pushed Qianqian forward, and shouted loudly, "You go first!", and then launched the ice flow of the inner body with all his strength, and immediately the two palms spewed out ice dragons, and with a bang, the two ice dragons condensed in the cave, forming a cold ice barrier.
Immediately after that, a vast force rushed in, hitting his ice barrier, You Zhukong felt a heavy blow in the chest, and he couldn't get up in one breath, so he spit out a large mouthful of blood, spraying his arms with blood.
Qianqian saw that he was difficult to support, gritted his teeth and rushed back, and his palms sent out a cold current, although it was not as vivid as him, but he also tried his best to freeze the boiling water in front of him, hoping to block the turbulent waves.
Dong Xueying was the strongest, and she was originally running at the front, but she found that the two of them didn't keep up, and jumped back again, and when she saw their situation, she was also frightened, and hurriedly rushed up to launch the water method of the Five Elements Warfare, and the majestic cold current rushed out.
The three of them worked together to finally block the boiling water, but they didn't dare to relax at all, they only felt that every time some water was frozen, there would be a heat surge to melt them, and as long as they let go, the ice barrier would collapse in an instant.
The three of them struggled to support themselves, and gradually felt exhausted, at this time, Zhu Cheng and Nalan Ruoshui also rushed back, and You Zhukong said angrily: "What are you doing when you come back?
Zhu Cheng said angrily: "If you want to die together, how can you leave your friends alone!", he said this, but he and Nalan Ruoshui have no evil, they will not create a cold snap, and they will not help.
You Zhukong suddenly had an idea, and shouted: "I have a fairy shovel in my arms! Quickly! Take it and dig up! Dig up!", hearing him shout like this, the four people suddenly realized, and all of them were happy.
By digging vertically upwards, they can avoid the impact of the current, which will flow down the secret passage all the way to the campus, where there is a secret passage that is extremely deep vertically downward, which is a shelter they have prepared in advance, hoping to accommodate the current.
Zhu Cheng immediately jumped in front of him, took out the fairy shovel, and then jumped up, tilting upwards and digging hard, Nalan Ruoshui followed behind him, helping to push the gravel aside.
Digging upwards was the most laborious work, and Zhu Cheng swung his shovel hundreds of times, but only dug a small hole. The ice barrier was getting thinner and thinner, and with a sudden click, a crack broke in the barrier, and the water hissed out.
You Zhukong and Dong Xueying shouted in unison: "Hurry!
There was another bang, and dozens of cracks broke out of the entire ice barrier, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on for even a few seconds.
Just when everyone was desperate, suddenly the leisurely ancient ring on You Zhukong's finger emitted a blue light, illuminating the entire cave, and then a beautiful girl with green hair floated out, it turned out to be Youyou!
Youyou made a grimace at You Zhukong, and said with a faint smile: "You!
You Zhukong was sweating profusely at this time, and his aura had begun to dry up, so he didn't dare to speak at all. Slowly walked to the ice barrier, his hands glowed blue, and with a bang, the ice barrier was intact again, and the water flow in front of him stopped instantly.
You Zhukong cheered at this time: "Yoyo! It's you! It's great! You're here to save me again!"
Yoyo said solemnly: "You guys run away! Yoyo won't last long!"
You Zhukong and the others agreed, and looked up to see that Zhu Cheng had already dug up the space two people high, so they jumped up one after another to assist Zhu Cheng in continuing to dig.
The five people worked together, and the speed increased significantly, and they dug up dozens of meters in a few moments. I only heard Youyou shouting from below: "I can't do it!
With a muffled bang, the ice barrier burst, and boiling water rushed out and rushed forward along the secret passage.
Zhu Cheng did not stop, continued to dig upward, the water flow below was very turbulent, and gradually the cave in front of them was difficult to dredge, the water began to rise, and the water vapor made it difficult for them to breathe.
After a stick of incense, Qianqian suddenly said, "Look, the water level is starting to drop!"
Sure enough, the water level began to drop, and it seems that the boiling water that they dug up and accumulated somewhere has been released is now almost released. They climbed down cautiously, and finally returned to the horizontal passage.
The water level has dropped to only half a meter high, the water flow is no longer so turbulent, it has become a trickle, the water temperature has been released, and it is no longer boiling.
You Zhukong was in a relaxed mood, and said with a smile: "Our secret base has become a water curtain cave!"
"Water Curtain Cave!" Dong Xueying listened to it approvingly: "This name is good!"
Because You Zhukong, Qianqian and Dong Xueying can control the fire and are not afraid of high temperatures, but Zhu Cheng and Nalan Ruoshui can't, so You Zhukong carried Zhu Cheng on his back, and Dong Xueying carried Nalan Ruoshui on his back, and they waded through the hot water and finally returned to the campus.
All this water flowed into the downward vertical secret passage that Zhu Cheng had dug at the beginning, and a large amount of hot water accumulated in it, which turned into a pool.
The water then passes deep underground and slowly penetrates into the ground, where the incoming water is almost equal to the outgoing water, and the entire secret passage is no longer affected, but there is a large amount of hot water to use.
The five of them returned to the secret room, helpless, and if they continued to dig indiscriminately, maybe the next time they dug up would be magma. Dong Xueying thought that she was ineffective in command, blamed herself deeply, and apologized to everyone.
The next day, everyone discussed countermeasures, but there was still no good way. Seeing that everyone had lost their minds, Qianqian said timidly: "I have an idea!
Qianqian, who has always had no ideas and has always followed the crowd, actually had ideas, and they all looked at her in amazement. Being stared at by everyone, Qianqian's face turned red with shame, and she squeaked and said, "I am good friends with the crypt snails in the school!"
Nalan Ruoshui was surprised: "You are friends with such a disgusting thing!"
Qianqian said angrily: "Ruoshui! You are sarcastic again!Ah, where is the crypt snail is a master of burrowing, I heard that they can also burrow to extremely deep places, but they never dig out water or magma!"
You Zhukong nodded and said, "Well, it may be that they have a very keen sensibility, such as infrared detection!", seeing everyone looking at him in astonishment, he realized that he had said the knowledge in his world, and hurriedly said: "It means very keen!"
The five people thought that this method was feasible, so they asked Qianqian to summon the crypt snail, she found some food, put it in the secret passage, and then imitated the crypt snail in her mouth, making a sound, Qianqian said that this was the sound of the crypt snail summoning its companions.
Sure enough, not long after, a few cute crypt snails ran over, and when You Zhukong took a closer look, these things turned out to be a bit like moles, with pointed beaks and whiskers, long sharp claws, but a smooth snail shell on their backs, which looked even more peculiar.
Qianqian took the food and guided these cave snails, and Zhu Cheng was responsible for digging a drainage channel in front of him, so that the excess hot water flowed along the canal into the vertical secret passage, and after more than half a day's work, they came to the water spray again.
The end of the cave has been shattered, You Zhukong looked inside, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly, it seemed to be a huge karst cave inside, and water continued to seep down and flow along the secret passage. This direction must not be dug anymore.
Qianqian had already summoned dozens of crypt snails at this time, and she said softly, "Everyone, do me a favor and help me find my way to the ground!"
