Chapter 658 Natural Trap
The people on the stone bridge breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the group of people soaking in the water below moving southeast.
Although they were not completely out of danger, they could still hold on until the water receded as long as they climbed up.
Wu Shaoyi also stopped playing the flute, his face flushed, and he was gasping for breath.
Besides Yang Yiyi, Wu Shaoyi was the only one who could use sound skills, but sound skills alone could not make the sound of the flute so clearly transmitted.
The flute Wu Shaoyi used was the bamboo flute in the bamboo flute sword obtained from the inheritance of the Fairy Qinglian. He wanted to try it hard, but when his internal force was poured into the flute, it seemed to have a special reaction.
The sound of the flute was so loud and clear that it was terrifying, and it was transmitted very far. When playing, Wu Shaoyi even felt that his consciousness flew away with the sound of the flute.
It was indeed a treasure of the immortals, and it was not comparable to ordinary things.
But there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and Wu Shaoyi's internal force disappeared as quickly as a flood.
Among the crowd, Wu Shaoyi had the highest meridian attribute and the strongest internal force. She couldn't bear it, let alone others.
Fortunately, someone knew this song "Southeast Travel", otherwise Wu Shaoyi's internal force would be sucked dry if it was played for a while.
At this time, seeing that the people below the valley were climbing towards the slope, the quick ones had already climbed up and reached out to pull the people behind.
The water flow was rising higher and higher below, and the mud constructed by the mudslide was also piling up higher and higher, but they couldn't reach them. Finally, they were temporarily safe. The rest was to make sure not to slip and fall down again, and just wait for the water level to drop.
After all, the Stone River was formed because of the spray of groundwater. When the pressure drops, the natural flow rate will slow down, and then everything will be fine.
Among the people who breathed a sigh of relief at this time, Ran Xiaoyi asked:
"Has anyone seen Yang Yiyi?"
Oh yes, where did she go? This matter has not been clarified yet.
She was the first one to rush over just now, why is there no trace of her now?
Everyone looked around but couldn't find any trace of Yang Yiyi. After careful recollection, it seemed that they didn't see Yang Yiyi when they rushed out of the woods.
"Did they get separated in the woods? Let's go back and look for her."
They were not worried, especially Wu Shaoyi and Qin Yan. They knew that Yang Yiyi was followed by the Immortal Qingtian. With an immortal following her, there was nothing to be afraid of.
–--——---——
Time went back a little.
Yang Yiyi rubbed her sore butt and looked up.
There was a slightly glowing hole diagonally above. The hole was not big or wide, but it was just enough for one person to fall down.
In this place in southern Xinjiang, there are many karst caves due to the erosion of groundwater. The underground structure is very fragile, and coupled with the dense vegetation, it is simply a natural trap.
Yang Yiyi just heard the sound and chased after it. Maybe she used too much force and stepped on the weak cave roof directly, and then she slid down the hole.
It was just the gap between two big rocks. It was originally filled with thick soil, but probably due to the heavy rain, the soil below was washed away by the infiltrating water, leaving only a thin layer on top, and then...
It was crushed by Yang Yiyi.
That's why Li Chengxi didn't want Yang Yiyi to come to Southern Xinjiang. The topography of this ghost place is too complicated.
"I'm down there! Can you hear me!"
He shouted at the hole twice, but there was no response. If you listen carefully, you can hear footsteps passing quickly from above.
It seems that Wu Shaoyi and Qin Yan didn't notice that Yang Yiyi fell down.
The hole was too curved, and light could be vaguely seen through, but it was impossible to throw a rope up, just like the curved pipe of the sewer, not straight up and down.
As for climbing up...
"The soil over there is too soft to climb. Don't let the soil collapse again and bury you underneath."
Anyway, there was no one else around, so Li Chengxi said.
As for jumping up, there was no need to think about it. It was too high. Even the best high jumper couldn't get up there.
"What should I do, Brother Li?"
Yang Yiyi panicked and started to feel at a loss.
"Don't panic. Lick your fingers and raise them above your head."
"Oh, then what?"
"Can you feel the wind?"
"Yes, and it's quite strong."
"That means there is a big enough entrance and exit nearby. Just walk in the direction of the wind."
As he spoke, Yu Gui, who jumped out of Yang Yiyi's arms, spit out a strong flashlight.
"Don't worry, you can get out. If it doesn't work, come back. I'll try to fly up and ask Qin Yan and the others to come and rescue you."
This is a method that can only be used when there is really no other way. After all, there are not only Qin Yan and Wu Shaoyi in that group, but also people from the Sixteenth Village, Ran Xiaoyi, and several people from the Green Bamboo Village.
There are so many people and eyes, and Li Chengxi doesn't want to expose the secret of the Book of the Sky unless it is absolutely necessary.
Li Chengxi's words were purely to comfort Yang Yiyi, so that she wouldn't panic and think too much, and Yang Yiyi really fell for it. After hearing what Li Chengxi said, she felt relieved on the spot, picked up a strong flashlight, and walked in the direction of the wind.
This is a cave washed out by groundwater. The cave wall is still very moist, and you can see stalactites dripping from time to time.
Maybe because the underground river has changed its course, there are no more water sources in the cave except dripping water. If you encounter an underground river, it would be uncomfortable.
Suddenly I remembered the situation when Ao Dai and others went underground for adventure not long ago.
However, Yang Yiyi had not gone down that deep yet. Now she was only about 20 meters away from the surface. She could feel the strong wind, which most likely indicated that there was a cave leading directly to the surface.
After walking a little further, Yang Yiyi seemed to see a dark green object. She took a flashlight and found that it was a very large tree root.
The tree root directly penetrated the cave, blocking most of the area of the cave. It was almost as thick as a truck tire, twisting deep into the soil underground.
Ran Xiaoyi had said before that because of the tree that was said to be the base of the Sky-supporting Jade Pillar, there were many pits and holes in the ground nearby, all of which were made by its roots.
Some of the holes were used by the people of Baofeng Village, and they were repaired and used as secret passages.
It was not surprising to encounter this thing here. Yang Yiyi picked up a stone and threw it over. Seeing that the tree root would not move, she breathed a sigh of relief.
——She was afraid that the tree root had become a spirit.
After passing through the gap next to her, Yang Yiyi clearly felt the wind speed increase, and it was also obvious that it was fresh air.
This made Yang Yiyi feel refreshed and she quickened her pace.
Turning a small bend not far ahead, Yang Yiyi saw some light. Walking a little further, she saw that the light came from a cave covered with vines and creepers, and the light came in through the gaps in these vegetation.
This made Yang Yiyi very happy, thinking that she could finally get out.
But just as she was about to walk quickly, suddenly, she saw that there seemed to be a dark figure behind the "curtain" composed of those vegetation.
This made Yang Yiyi brake suddenly, immediately turned off the flashlight and hid behind an oversized stalagmite.
The person standing at the entrance of the cave seemed to have noticed Yang Yiyi, or more accurately, noticed the strong light coming from the cave, after all, Yang Yiyi was holding a flashlight.
But that was only a moment, and the other party should have been facing the entrance of the cave just now, so it was not certain.
Yang Yiyi peeked out from behind the stalagmite and saw a figure standing at the entrance of the cave. He turned around and peered into the cave...
