Chapter 248: Underground Escape

No one can be sure of what will happen in the future. Even the monks who can predict the future are very vague and confused.

Li Chengxi heard Lei Lei say that people around her will have major changes in the near future, but she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, and she couldn't tell what exactly happened. After listening for a long time, it was like listening to a sentence.

He felt that this was also a standard operation of divination. It seemed that the monk was not very reliable after saying ambiguous words.

So he didn't take it seriously. After sending Lei Lei away, he focused on the computer again.

Because the attributes of the muscles and bones are no longer the same as before, and she has also learned the skill of light body falling that can reduce the damage of falling, this time Yang Yiyi was not seriously injured by the fall. She just woke up after a few minutes of fainting, and then listened to Li Chengxi's mumbling for more than half an hour.

Fortunately, Lei Lei came in and interrupted Li Chengxi, otherwise he would have continued to mutter.

Yang Yiyi stretched her still aching body, stuffed the jade scepter into her arms, and picked up the emergency light as big as a lantern to shine around her.

She seemed to have fallen into a cave. Not far from her was a half-person-high stalagmite. Fortunately, she didn't fall on the stalagmite. Yang Yiyi was a little scared when she saw it.

The sound of flowing water could be vaguely heard on the other side of the stalagmite. After walking a few steps forward, a calm underground lake appeared in front of her.

She raised the lantern and shone it upwards. About ten meters above, there was a slightly translucent hole. That was where she fell.

However, the entrance to the cave was completely blocked by rubble at this time, and if she wanted to go up, she had to climb a very large curved rock wall. It was almost impossible to return the original way.

Now Yang Yiyi began to panic. She was in a closed space underground, and it was a completely unfamiliar environment. If she couldn't find a way out, she would be trapped to death in this dark place.

"Are you panicking now? Think more about what you do next time."

Yang Yiyi heard Li Chengxi's voice, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Brother Li, can I not get out?"

"I don't know either."

As soon as these words came out, a bubble of w(Д)w emojis popped up next to the head of the two-headed man representing Yang Yiyi on the screen. It was obvious that he was panicking.

Then Yang Yiyi heard Li Chengxi sigh:

"Although there is no absolute certainty, it is not completely impossible. You see, the water in this underground lake is flowing, and maybe we can find an exit along the lake water."

Yang Yiyi was relieved when she heard this, but Li Chengxi was not so optimistic.

The flow direction of groundwater has no regularity at all. It may flow to the surface through the underground cave to form a river, or it may go deep underground.

Especially for this kind of karst cave, who knows how deep the groundwater will go underground. There are also natural karst caves of one or two kilometers on the earth.

"Which way should we go?"

"Let's go upstream first, maybe we can find an exit."

The downstream of the groundwater is likely to be a bottomless underground cave, and the upstream is likely to find a hole leading to the surface. Although it is not absolute, it is definitely better to go upstream than downstream.

Yang Yiyi held the emergency light, observed the direction of the lake, and then followed Li Chengxi's instructions to go upstream.

At this time, she was obedient.

This underground cave was much larger than expected, and it felt like a large square.

Yang Yiyi walked slowly with a little fear, always having the illusion that there might be some terrible monster hidden in the darkness underground.

After walking along the lake for nearly 30 minutes, she reached the rock wall on the other side.

The lake water flowed out from a thin and long inclined pipe. The flow was not very large, and the width was enough for one person to climb in.

Yang Yiyi held the handle of the emergency light in her mouth, spread her limbs and stuck in the pipe to climb up.

This was a very tiring thing. The rock wall was slippery and difficult to grasp, and she had to use her limbs to hold on. From time to time, water splashed on her face. What was even more annoying was that the tilted arc became higher and higher, and it was almost vertical in the back.

Going up further, the light of the emergency light shone on the rock wall, and there was an obvious depression, and there seemed to be a hole there.

Yang Yiyi, who was climbing up with her head raised, also saw it, and quickly climbed up with her hands and feet, sitting on the edge and breathing heavily.

It was unlikely to continue climbing up, Yang Yiyi's physical strength could not hold up, and she didn't know how far she could go.

However, the depression that Yang Yiyi climbed into was actually a cave leading to a deeper and darker cave.

"Follow this path and try it. Use this red marker to make a mark on the wall to avoid getting yourself dizzy."

Humans will lose their sense of direction underground, especially when drilling such a complex cave, which is equivalent to entering a natural maze.

After making a mark, Yang Yiyi raised the emergency light and continued to move forward.

This time the passage seemed to be particularly long. The good news was that there was no fork in the road, and the bad news was that she didn't see the exit, and she didn't even feel any breeze that might be related to the exit.

Yang Yiyi became more and more scared as she walked, and she had to ask Li Chengxi if he was still there every few steps to give herself courage.

After walking for nearly 20 minutes, the light not far away became distorted again. Yang Yiyi walked over and came to an empty underground cavity.

It was estimated to be about a hundred square meters here, and the ground was extremely flat. Although it was now in tatters, it seemed that someone had repaired it.

Yang Yiyi suddenly remembered the legend that there was a big wild man living in the cave. When she was a child, her parents scared her, saying that if she didn't sleep well, the wild man in the cave would come and catch her and eat her.

This evoked the shadow of Yang Yiyi's childhood. No matter how you look at it, this cavity looks like a nest.

But it was really just to scare the children. Yang Yiyi walked forward a few steps and didn't see the big savage, but saw a flat stone wall.

There were words engraved on the stone wall. At the bottom, some unclear words read, "I use the five elements escape method as the basis, and comprehend the escape step. Those who practice this step can pass through the stone and appear and disappear mysteriously."

Li Chengxi felt outrageous when he saw this comment.

Isn't this a martial arts? How did the earth escape technique of the immortal hero come out?

Looking at the rock wall again, Yang Yiyi said:

"This has been destroyed by someone, and nothing can be seen clearly."

Except for the comment at the bottom, all the words and patterns on the stone wall have become difficult to recognize. It looks like someone took a hammer and knocked them off bit by bit.

It feels that this earth escape step should be a magical skill, but now there is only a comment left.

"Look at it in a positive way. Since there is a secret stone here, there must be an exit."

"Yes, Brother Li is right."

Yang Yiyi was finally relieved, but Li Chengxi thought that according to the routine, she would have to learn the earth escape step to get out, right?

Just like Zhang Wuji learning the Great Shift of the Universe, the approval document stated that the earth escape step can pass through the stone, maybe it is necessary to use the earth escape step to pass through a special hollow stone wall.

But I can't tell Yang Yiyi this for the time being, she will definitely be so panicked that she will pick her feet.

Yang Yiyi took another step along the stone wall, trying to find other exits, but when she turned around, she couldn't help but scream.

Not far from her, the light illuminated a skeleton leaning against the stone, which looked very old.
