One Hundred and One: Horror of the River
Seeing Wang Zhilin, who was desperately climbing the rock wall of the exit, desperately injured and not letting go, Wu Zheng understood. Wang Zhilin must not be Luo Jiutian's opponent, so he wants to run.
So Wu Zheng didn't dare to slack off, hugged Yun Lan, who was still unconscious, and rolled two or three times in a row on the falling gravel floor in the cave hall, and had already come to the edge of the pit where Wang Zhilin and Li Yan once lived, and rolled over and rolled in without hesitation.
Wu Zheng really has no other way to think of it.
If he stays, then he will inevitably fall into Luo Jiutian's hands. Everything that happened in front of him just now, whether it was Luo Jiutian or Wang Zhilin, no one dared to believe it.
The reason why he chose to roll into this pit was because Wu Zheng figured out a problem.
Since the two of them have been locked in the pit all the year round and cannot move, and there is no stench of excrement in the cave hall that is only about a foot in diameter, doesn't that mean that there should be another space where the two of them live.
At the same time, Wu Zheng also somewhat believed that Li Yan, who was first deceived by Luo Jiutian with his feelings, and then broke his neck by the inhuman Wang Zhilin.
So, since there's no other option, why not take the plunge?
When Wu Zheng carried Yun Lan into the hole, he saw a hole that could only fit his head into, and there didn't seem to be any unpleasant smell underneath, not only that, but there was also a faint sound of running water.
"Is there really a dark river down there?"
"Boy, don't be delusional, there's no other possibility if you drill down from there and get rid of death. ”
Because Wang Zhilin has been resisting desperately, Luo Jiutian has not been able to succeed for a long time, so after discovering Wu Zheng's abnormal movements, he could only give a warning.
Wu Zheng didn't listen to Luo Jiutian, and he didn't have much time for him to hesitate. first sent Yun Lan, who was unconscious, down from top to bottom, and then got into it himself.
Luo Jiutian must not have expected that Wu Zheng would dare to venture into the underground dark river that he didn't know about, because he couldn't leave Wang Zhilin behind, otherwise Wang Zhilin would definitely climb out of the hole and escape. Therefore, he could only watch the two teenagers disappear under his nose.
With a pop, Yun Lan, who first fell into the cold river water, suddenly came to his senses, and was immediately lifted out of the water by Wu Zheng, who fell. Even so, Yun Lan choked on the river and coughed violently.
Using all his strength, Wu Zheng pulled Yun Lan to the dark shore.
"Lan'er, are you feeling better?"
"Hmm. ”
"The next road will definitely be difficult, Lan'er must be mentally prepared. ”
"As long as my brother is here, I'm not afraid of anything. ”
Wu Zheng thought for a moment, and did not go down the underground dark river, he was worried that Luo Jiutian above would chase after Wang Zhilin was solved, so his mind turned a little more, and instead held Yun Lan's hand tightly, groping towards the upper reaches of the underground dark river.
It's not that I didn't think that the dripping water stains on my body would point out the direction of escape for Luo Jiutian, who was chasing into the dark river next, but Wu Zheng still took Yun Lan's hand and walked forward. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Wu Zheng suddenly picked up Yun Lan beside him, put his mouth to Yun Lan's ear and whispered:
"Lan'er, we have to dive into the water to avoid Luo Jiutian's tracking. Don't be afraid, there is a brother here. ”
"Well, Lan'er is not afraid. ”
chose to dive into the dark river at this time, firstly, because there were no more droplets of water dripping on his clothes, and secondly, Wu Zheng estimated that Luo Jiutian should have almost solved the seriously injured Wang Zhilin.
Picking up Yun Lan and carefully sliding into the cold water, Wu Zheng did not use his hands to climb the rocks on the bank, but let the river rush towards the two of them, drifting all the way downstream.
Sure enough, less than half an hour later, there was a bright light at the entrance, and it was obvious that Luo Jiutian had come down.
"Lan'er, inhale, hold your breath. ”
After all, Yun Lan is young and a little girl, and the breath she inhales hard can't support her to last long in the water.
Goodong, seeing that Yun Lan, who couldn't hold back, had already taken a sip of river water, Wu Zheng hurriedly moved over Yun Lan's face, his lips quickly printed Yun Lan's cherry mouth, and after crossing it in one go, Yun Lan finally got better.
However, Yun Lan, who had been keeping her eyes closed, opened her eyes at this time. With the light of the oil lamp in Luo Jiutian's hand, it was the first time that the two of them looked at each other for such a long time, and it was underwater, in an environment where they could not speak.
had to hold Yun Lan and continue to dive to avoid Luo Jiutian, who was gradually approaching, so Wu Zheng didn't dare to let go of the lips printed on Yun Lan's cherry mouth, and insisted on it until Luo Jiutian hurriedly walked along the water stains on the bank with a long sword in one hand and an oil lamp in the other hand to the dark river for a distance of dozens of zhang, Wu Zheng and Yun Lan finally dared to show their heads.
What made Luo Jiutian puzzle was that from that entrance to the location where the water stains disappeared, it was only less than a mile away, why there were no water stains on the bank of the dark river, and there were no faintly recognizable footprints?
"Did you dive into the river?"
Luo Jiutian held an oil lamp in his hand, leaned over and observed by the dark river for a long time, and even used the long sword in his hand to reach into the water and stir for a while, but he never found any trace of the two children, and he couldn't help but wonder:
"Is it going down the river again?"
Thinking of this, Luo Jiutian immediately turned around, and while returning along the same path, he carefully observed the situation at the bottom of the dark river.
Although the speed of walking while observing was very slow, after an hour and a half, I had walked a distance of nearly six or seven miles.
"Oh no, the two of them won't be swept under that cliff by the current, right?"
Luo Jiutian knows this dark river.
When the underground passage and stone chamber above were built, he used to use the bone shrinking skill to pass through the small hole and enter the dark river to inspect it. The bottomless cliff not far ahead, even Luo Jiutian would be frightened when he stood on the shore. What Luo Jiutian still hasn't figured out is why the river that poured down from the cliff didn't make even the slightest sound?
No matter how high the cliff is, it won't be so high that you can't even hear it, right?
For so many years, Luo Jiutian has been thinking about this question. He has also thrown a lot of things down, even hares, wild boars, roe deer and other animals. But there was still no response.
As the saying goes, when things are abnormal, you are a demon.
Luo Jiutian didn't think about it, maybe the following is a hidden place where martial arts people dream of opportunities.
Thinking about it, Luo Jiutian said that he would not take any chances.
Because there is another possibility, that is, maybe there is a legendary entrance to the netherworld.
Because he was worried that the two of them would fall under the cliff and lose the opportunity to get the other half of the complete Qiankun Yi Gong Method, Luo Jiutian suddenly sped up his pace. When he was about to approach the edge of the cliff, sure enough, through the light of the oil lamp in his hand, he vaguely saw Wu Zheng and Yun Lan who had been washed to the edge of the cliff by the river.
"Quick, stop, it's dangerous down there!"
Luo Jiutian's words were sincere, and Wu Zheng also felt it, but it was too late. didn't have time to make any movements, Wu Zheng, who was holding Yun Lan, only felt that his body was suddenly suspended in the air, and then began to fall rapidly.
"Lan'er hold me tight, don't let go. ”
The only thing he could do was to instruct Yun Lan in his arms.
