The moment he smelled the fishy smell, Ning Qiushui immediately thought of Dr. Liu and Wang Huan's advice, turned around and fled!

The ground in the direction in front of him became more and more slippery, Ning Qiushui didn't dare to run too fast, he didn't look back, and fled all the way to the deeper part of the darkness.

The sound of heartbeat and the smell of fish behind him were chasing after him, and Ning Qiushui faintly smelled a trace of the rancid smell of human corpses from the fishy smell......

The smell is disgusting.

"What the hell is that, why is there only a heartbeat, but no footsteps......"

While Ning Qiushui was fleeing, he quickly sorted out the fragments of clues that were currently valuable in his mind.

The further in, the wider the area becomes, and a fork in the road gradually appears.

The sound of the heartbeat behind him had approached a distance of less than ten steps, and the disgusting fishy smell mixed with the stench of rotting corpses poured into Ning Qiushui's nasal cavity!

Looking at the fork in the road ahead, Ning Qiushui plunged headlong into the narrow-looking road on the left!

The speed of the "thing" behind him was too fast, and the ground was slippery, and if he continued to run, he would be caught up by the "thing" sooner or later.

What are the consequences of being caught by it, Ning Qiushui doesn't know, and he doesn't want to know.

If he wants to speed up now, he must enter the narrow tunnel and use the walls on both sides to aid his run, so that he can ensure that he does not fall at high speed.

Shout!

An arrow stepped into the corridor, Ning Qiushui held a flashlight in his mouth, his two hands were completely spread out, and he grabbed the protruding points on the wall left and right, and his speed increased a lot at once.

Even if he suddenly slips under his feet, he can rely on the focus point on the wall and the strong upper body strength to ensure that he does not fall.

The speed of the 'thing' with a strong fishy smell behind him was still not fast, and it was gradually pulled out of the gap by Ning Qiushui.

"Gollum ......"

A drowning sound came from behind him, as if someone was spitting bubbles.

But as the sound ended, Ning Qiushui immediately smelled a rancid stench that was more than ten times richer than before.

He only smelled it once, and then he felt dizzy, and immediately held his breath and charged forward desperately.

"Gollum ......"

"Gurgling ......"

The sound of drowning was still ringing, and after Ning Qiushui inhaled the rancid breath before, his head became more and more dizzy and difficult to resist, and in the end, he really couldn't support it and fell to the ground......

…

Crackling -

The bright light of fire hit the side of Ning Qiushui's face, and he rubbed his eyes, feeling that his head hurt so much that he almost cracked.

"Hmm......"

He took several deep breaths to feel better before he sat up on the ground.

The palm of his hand hurt from the rubble on the ground, but it was almost negligible compared to the pain that almost exploded in his head.

"Awake?"

"You're lucky, your physical fitness is also good, you didn't die after taking a puff of 'rotten gas'."

An extremely familiar voice came from the side, and Ning Qiu subconsciously looked at him with shock in his eyes.

This voice is none other than Dr. Liu!

"How could it be ......?"

Ning Qiushui blinked vigorously, due to the influence of 'rotten qi', everything he saw in his eyes was ghosting now.

However, this symptom has been effectively improved after exposure to fire.

After he had fully regained his sight, Dr. Liu's familiar face appeared in front of him.

Liu ...... Dr. Liu?! ”

A few shocked words came out of his mouth.

Dr. Liu was slightly stunned, and then his expression became a little strange.

"You know me?"

Ning Qiushui stared at Dr. Liu's face carefully, confirming that there was only doubt in his eyes.

"Dr. Liu, are you trapped here?"

Dr. Liu, sitting cross-legged by the fire, nodded.

"Well, I've been stuck here for a long time."

"Don't call me Dr. Liu, call me Liu Xiong."

Liu Xiong is his name.

The firewood was burning, making a crackling sound, Ning Qiushui pointed to the firewood and asked:

"Liu Xiong, how did this fire come from?"

Liu Xiong shook his head.

"I don't know, every once in a while, there will be fires burning in some places in the cave, all of which are fixed points, and occasionally some food and water will be left...... However, we were unlucky this time, there was nothing to eat in this place, but it was also possible that someone else in the cave got there first. ”

"By the way, when I found you, this thing fell next to you."

After Liu Xiong finished speaking, he handed the flashlight to Ning Qiushui, who looked at the details, it was given to him by Wang Huan before.

"Anyone else in the cave?"

Liu Xiong fiddled with the fire, and his voice was quite dull.

"Hmm."

"But...... There are fewer and fewer people. ”

"That thing has been wandering in the cave all the time, and people who encounter it will ...... if they don't pay attention."

"Later, everyone didn't dare to form a group, because the more people, the greater the possibility of hitting it, and if you are alone, if you are lucky, you will not be able to meet it for three or five days."

When Ning Qiushui heard this, he suddenly understood why he bumped into that thing not long after he came in.

"Wang Huan, Wang Huan, your kid is really fast when he 'runs'......"

Ning Qiushui complained in his heart.

Of course, he also knew that Wang Huan's disappearance was most likely not up to him.

"It's so strange to say......"

Liu Xiong fiddled with the fire, and his burning eyes stared at Ning Qiushui in a daze.

"You've obviously fainted under the influence of 'rotten energy', and it actually let you go."

Ning Qiushui was suddenly pulled back to reality by Liu Xiong's words.

"What is it?"

Liu Xiong shook his head.

"I don't know, who dares to look at it?"

"When I meet it, I can't wait to run faster."

"But...... There was always a strong fishy smell on that guy's body, and I don't know where it came from, there was no water in this cave, and we had never eaten fish. ”

Ning Qiushui asked:

"Haven't you tried to get out of the cave, it's so dangerous here."

Liu Xiong glanced at him and threw the wooden stick in his hand into the fire.

"I can go out early."

"There's no exit from the cave, and you can't get out if you come in."

Ning Qiushui frowned, he recalled the madman's confession, and said:

"Liu Xiong, have you ever heard of 'Qi Yuan'?"

Hearing those three words, Liu Xiong's expression changed suddenly.

"I haven't heard of it, I don't know."

He shook his head very firmly.

Ning Qiushui raised his eyebrows:

"No, you know."

"Why are you lying?"

"Are you afraid?"

Liu Xiong's originally good face gradually became a little pale, and he interrupted Ning Qiushui, his tone with an abnormally intense and excited tone:

"Boy, I warn you, if you want to live in this place...... It's better to forget those three words! ”
