Due to the lack of aura in the cave at night, they were unable to continue their excavation work. The aura on his body is not enough to even guard against spirit beasts, where do he dare to use it in other places.

Although the spirit change usually occurs when there is aura, the spirit animal will not disappear at night, and it is still a threat.

They made a defensive ring out of stones and barely survived the night.

By the time the aura in the cave was restored, less than one-third of the total amount of aura left by all the people remained. The eight outer disciple spirit pools had all been exhausted, and all of them had been delivered to the guards.

Don't look at the fact that there are still a lot left, in the dangerous wilderness, the amount of this aura is already much lower than the warning line.

The guards didn't sleep enough, except for Ma Tianlong, who slept for two hours, the others only slept for one hour at most. Of course, Dong Xiaoping, who has time control, does not have sleep problems.

If you can't open the hole today, you will not only face the problem of starvation, but also not enough sleep.

So on the second day of being trapped, everyone worked harder, and even the injured girl surnamed Zhou helped to hold the luminous stone for lighting.

However, an unexpected but undesirable accident occurred.

A fireball shot by Ma Tianlong caused the second collapse of the cave, which not only made the previous work in vain, but even collapsed several feet away, and caused casualties, and two male outer disciples were buried inside.

The others, if they hadn't flashed fast, would have been buried in the same place. The two dead were standing at the innermost point to check the effect of the spell, and they didn't have time to run out.

After the accident, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and everyone's expressions were indescribably ugly. A female outer disciple even cried, not because she was sad for the two deceased, but because she was afraid.

When an accident occurred, the people naturally did not dare to dig any more, and after digging two zhang, they collapsed and fell four zhang, and they dug a fart!

"Senior Brother Ma, when do you think the master will send someone to save us?" a young girl asked worriedly.

"You ask me, how do I know? "There is a real threat to life, and Ma Tianlong has no good temper.

"Lily, don't worry...... The master knows that we are cultivating here, so maybe they will send someone here today. The girl surnamed Meng comforted. She is the eldest sister among them, so she is naturally responsible for calming people's hearts.

Perhaps because her grandfather was a real person, her words were more credible, which made Lily settle down a lot.

"Hehe, that's not necessarily ......" Ma Tianlong, as the leader of the team, was not calm, and made panic remarks, "It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened, eight years ago, there was also a cave collapse in the Ghost Valley Crypt, and more than fifty outer disciples were trapped inside...... Guess what?"

Because it was a matter of small lives, everyone listened attentively.

Ma Tianlong glanced at everyone and sneered: "As a result, none of them came out, and they all died inside!"

"Ahh

Qin Chuyu covered his mouth and exclaimed.

"Could it be that there are so many masters in the sect, can't they have time to rescue them?" the girl surnamed Meng was full of questions, "Even if a few hundred mortals are requisitioned, they can rescue people in two or three days, right?"

At that time, she was still young and had no impression of it.

Ma Tianlong glanced at Qin Chuyu and continued: "What if the master doesn't know at all?"

If Qin Chuyu had a panicked expression on weekdays, he would have posted it up to ask for warmth, but now he is trapped in the cave and has no interest in earning performance.

This sentence made everyone ponder.

Except for the first day, they set out from the entrance hall, for convenience, they all gathered at the west gate of the West City at other times, so the master would not know that they were trapped in the cave at all.

It wasn't until autumn had passed that the hall would find that there were eight people missing, and the daylilies would be cold at that time.

The convoy has no roots on its side.

The place responsible for paying out the payouts handles a lot of teams every day, and it's hard to notice that one team is missing. Besides, the reward does not have to be received every day, and even if others find out, they will guess that the team may receive it once every ten days.

"Will your family find out that something is wrong?" said a young girl, who was a little anxious when she realized this important problem, "I am alone, not even a servant." ”

"I have a servant...... Well, but I never told her where I went, and I don't think she would have thought I was in trouble......" The other girl said in frustration.

"My servant would have stolen my things if he had known I was dying! ”

......

The girls talked nonsense, and there was no hope.

Most of the outer disciples came to Qingbo Gate through worshipping immortals, and they were all alone, with at most one servant. Qin Chuyu even took a servant.

Only the girl surnamed Meng is local to Qingbo Lake, but she has never looked down on her parents who are mortals, and has lived in her grandfather's house for a long time. Her grandfather often practiced in retreat, and he usually didn't see him twice a month.

The outer disciples can't count on it, they can only count on the named disciples. Most of the registered disciples were born locally, and most of them had families.

Ma Tianlong looked at Dong Xiaoping first, and Dong Xiaoping shook his head.

There is only one Liu Xiaoyun in his family, who is timid and small, who will believe what he says. Moreover, the most fatal thing is that he warned Liu Xiaoyun not to go out no matter what he is not there when he is not there.

If Ge Xiaoyue was at home, she should be able to help him with her cleverness, but she has been home recently. Thinking of this, he not only smiled bitterly: "I was still clapping my hands happily at that time!"

The only hope is Zhao Yuan, but it is not very reliable.

They had only done it the night before yesterday, and by the time Zhao Yuan came to him, it would be at least seven or eight days later. His "Reverse Water Heart Method" already has a layer, and the double cultivation can be separated by five days, and on top of that, it can be dragged on for two or three days.

He knows Zhao Yuan too well, and he is thin-skinned, and he will never take the initiative to come to him until the last moment.

With Zhao Yuan's anxious IQ, coupled with the negative impact of "Shunshui Heart Method" on the mind, I don't know if I can find the location of the cave and rescue them. If it drags on for a few more days and she becomes a fool, it's over.

No matter whether Zhao Yuan is reliable or not, he can't tell Zhao Yuan's situation, which involves the secret relationship between them.

Ma Tianlong had no choice but to ask the others with his eyes, but there was no good news.

They both have families, but they all live alone. This is normal in Qingbo Lake, and there are many inconveniences for monks and mortals to live together. Although they were walking around with their families, it was not surprising that they knew that they had not been home for a few days, since the monks were often away from home.

If you really want to find out that something is wrong, you will have to inquire about their tasks and find this cave again, and it will take you more than half a month.

Ma Tianlong himself has no one to count on. As an outer disciple of the consummation of the Shaoling Realm, he is very free, he can go wherever he wants, and no one cares about him at all.

The most realistic hope can only be a rally on the first day of October. If someone is absent, it will generally attract the attention of the tutor. However, there was a meeting only the day before yesterday, and the next meeting will be eight days later.

But that doesn't mean they can be rescued in eight days, and it should take two or three days from finding someone missing to being successfully rescued. Unless you recruit a lot of monks who can move spells, in order not to cause more landslides, you can only recruit mortals to dig them.

Considering the cost performance, for the sake of a few outer disciples who have just started and a few registered disciples, I am afraid that the master will not recruit monks, but will only use mortals.

In addition, Ma Tianlong's weight is not enough, and there are many outer disciples like him who have a consummate spirit realm and can't break through the realm, and there are many in the master's sect.

In this way, no one will be able to hold out until that time, because they are short of water.

If a person has no food, he can live for dozens of days, but without water, he cannot last for seven days. Although this cave is called White Cave, it was only once a cave, but now it is completely dry, and there is no shadow of water at all.

When they went to the bottom of the cave before, they walked through the cave and did not find any water source.

Generally speaking, when a monk encounters hunger and thirst in the wild, he can eat spirit animals and drink spiritual blood.

The flesh and blood of most spirit beasts are edible, and they are also very good food, and the spiritual food they usually eat is all kinds of spirit plants.

Only a small number of spirit beasts are originally poisonous and harmful animals, and after the spirit change, the poison is even worse, and they can't be eaten at all.

It's very unfortunate that the spirit beasts in the white cave are all poisons, and none of them can be eaten.

Knowing the current situation, the atmosphere suddenly became silent, a desperate silence. Gradually, someone sobbed softly. No one persuaded him, and no one stopped drinking.

"Shall we ...... too," said the weeping girl.

"Don't say it!" the girl surnamed Meng interrupted her.

But all know what the content of the interrupt is.

"Lily, do you still have water in your kettle? can you lend me a drink...... I haven't drunk water in a long time. The girl surnamed Meng said in a pleading tone.

Everyone had their own kettle, and she didn't save it, she drank it all the day.

Of course, Lily didn't want to give her a drink, and there was only one sip of water left in the kettle, and she wanted to refuse, but the girl surnamed Meng took good care of her on weekdays, so she couldn't open her mouth and hesitated for a while.

"Just take a small sip and moisten your lips. The girl surnamed Meng saw a little hope and quickly added a handful of oil.

When Lily heard her say so little, she wanted to agree, but suddenly found that countless pairs of green eyes were also looking at her, and quickly changed her words: "There is only one last sip left, and I will drink it myself...... You can't blame me, you don't drink it yourself. ”

The girl surnamed Meng couldn't help but be angry when she saw that Lili, who had always been obedient to her, dared to resist her, and suddenly snatched her water bottle and shouted, "Do you remember that I gave you a set of clothes?

She often gives some gifts to her fellow disciples who enter the Taoist Hall, which does not cost much money, but can win people's hearts. Most of the outer disciples who have just entered the Qingbo Gate are dirt buns, and they will more or less like to receive gifts from her.

Lily is in a hurry and wants to get it back. One more sip of water can last for a while longer, and it's a matter of hope for survival.
