On the shallows, Qian Jiujiu stood here, looking at the underground river in front of him, which was quite wide.
There were steep cliffs and trees on both sides of the river. Could it be that we followed the iron bridge to the bottom of the cliff
The iron bridge didn't look that long, so how could it reach the bottom of the cliff? Moreover, the bodies of several soldiers who had just fallen down were not found.
Mu Yexiao waved his hand and looked at the guards around him: "Go check the situation around."
The guards dispersed instantly and went to investigate the situation.
Mu Yexiao had just walked up to Qian Jiujiu and was about to speak when he saw Qian Jiujiu stretch out her finger and made a gesture to silence her.
"Hush, do you hear that sound?"
Mu Yexiao also began to listen attentively, and soon he heard the sound coming. He frowned and said, "Oh no, it's the sound of running water."
"Hurry up and run to both sides."
Qian Jiujiu also reacted, grabbed Beibei, and ran towards the nearest forest.
Several people used their luck and lightness skills to run very fast. Seeing this, the guards who had just dispersed also started running for their lives.
They never doubted their master's words, but Bai Lie and the soldiers he brought with him suffered.
When the people had run a long way ahead, the soldiers finally realized that they would definitely not go wrong if they followed them.
So he ran quickly, and sure enough, the next underground river, which was originally calm, suddenly became turbulent.
Like a flood, it rushed directly toward the shallows downstream. The speed was so fast that the soldiers were dumbfounded.
At this moment, I really wish I had two more legs so I could run forward faster.
Unfortunately it was of no use. At that moment everyone saw that the flood was merciless. It rushed over in an instant and the soldiers had no time to react.
They were completely soaked in water and washed away for a long distance. It was estimated that after this wave, all the soldiers who could not swim would have to die here.
These soldiers are not sailors, and I guess only a few of them can swim.
Bai Lie looked at the soldiers being washed away by the water with great worry, and there was no way he could save them. The most infuriating thing was that he had not yet run to the shore nearby.
He always felt that he would be washed away by the flood in the next moment, so he ran very fast.
Finally, I saw a huge tree trunk and hugged it directly. The moment I hugged the tree, I felt a huge impact from behind.
Fortunately, the tree in front of him was big enough to withstand the impact of the water flow, so he survived by leaning on the tree.
He also saw several soldiers being knocked directly into trees by the water. They were seen vomiting blood, but he really didn't know whether they were dead or not.
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had already reached the highest point on both sides. The trees looked very tall and upright.
Beibei was also tired from running, so he stopped and asked breathlessly: "Dad, Mom, is it safe here?"
Qian Jiujiu hummed: "It's safe. Can you tell me why I feel safe?"
Beibei's mouth twitched. At this time, he still wanted to test her. Wasn't it too much
She was still in a state of confusion just now. How could she be so quiet after such a scary thing
But then again, it seems like my own mother is always very calm, which is amazing.
Beibei stuck out his tongue, silently praised his parents in his heart, and then looked at the situation in front of him.
You can tell at a glance why Qian Jiujiu said this place is safe.
"Mom, I understand. You are looking at the situation of these trees, right?"
"Look, only the thick trees below stayed there, and there's a lot of dirt underneath, it's not clean at all."
"The place where we stopped was clean from the root, which means our place is safe."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Bei Bei. Fortunately, this guy was not so stupid that he knew nothing. At least he still knew to look at the outside environment at this time.
The group stood here, looking at their lost guards. The guards were not in any serious condition at this time.
They just climbed on the taller trees one by one. After all, their martial arts were very good, so climbing trees was just a piece of cake for them.
Only those soldiers, not only did they have some poor leg skills, but they were also hit directly by the huge water flow.
Now there are only a few people floating on the water, and they look really pitiful.
Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There would be fewer cannon fodders. He didn't know when the flood would recede.
Bai Lie was holding onto the tree trunk at this time. After dodging a wave of water, he also climbed up to the top of the tree along the trunk.
At this time, he could not see Qian Jiujiu and others on the top of the mountain. He could only see a vast underground river. He was on a big tree in the middle of the river.
I climbed to the top of the tree and looked around in confusion. There was nothing but water and trees. As for people, there was not a single one in sight.
"Is there anyone here? Is there anyone here? I can't swim, help me."
Bai Lie was a little panicked. Would he die here? Without food, he wouldn't be able to make it to the shore.
Besides, he can't swim. Will the prince and princess come to save him
"Stop shouting and save your energy."
There was a sound coming from the tree next door. Bai Lie finally calmed down a little: "Brother, what's your name?"
The person on the tree next door was none other than Chen Qiu. Chen Qiu had been obediently going to check the situation nearby, but when he turned around, the flood almost hit him in the face.
Fortunately, he was smart and climbed directly to the top of the tree. He saw the water surging past his feet. It was a spectacular sight.
"My name is Chen Qiu, what's your name?"
It seems that this brother has the same bad luck as himself. There are only two big trees around, and he jumped to the big tree next to him.
But it was useless for him to go over, as the two of them were trapped here.
"My name is Bai Lie. Do you think the prince and princess will come to rescue us? Are we going to be trapped here and die?"
Chen Qiu hesitated for a moment and frowned: "We failed to protect the prince and princess, which is considered a dereliction of duty."
"How can we expect the prince and princess to save us? We might as well hope that someone can save themselves and take us with them."
Bai Lie thought about it and realized that was true. He coughed twice and said, "What should we do? It seems a bit awkward for us to save ourselves."
Chen Qiu had good eyesight, and he had seen several figures jumping over the treetops not far away, approaching the position of the prince and princess.
Damn it, how did I end up at this point? He took a deep breath and said, "Brother Bai, let's just wait."
The two waited for a long time, but no one came to rescue them. Instead, it gradually became darker and there was no light down there.
It was just an open space without light, so Chen Qiu was not too nervous. He just kept looking around.
"Brothers who can make it, can you help me out and get me a piece of wood?"
Yes, wood can float on the water. If he gets a piece of wood, floats it on the water, and stands on it, he should be able to get across.
Just when I was about to do it, I suddenly saw a huge ball of light in the water swimming towards me.
This ball of light made everything around him brighter: "What the hell are you?"
"Brother Bai, do you think that's a monster?"
Chen Qiu looked at the large, shiny object that was moving down towards them, and his face turned pale with fright.
When had Bai Lie seen such a situation before? Such a big glowing object, he didn't know what it was.
The main reason was that this huge ball of light was too conspicuous on the dark river surface, and almost everyone could see it.
Beibei asked curiously, "Dad, Mom, look, what is that?"
Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao also looked over. Their eyesight was better and they could see clearly at a glance that it was a group of glowing fish.
If this thing appears, wouldn't it be the lighting here
Wherever the fish passed, the surrounding area began to shine, and people also saw dead bodies floating around the fish.
Mu Yexiao was stunned: "This is really the bottom of the cliff. Look at the body over there, it's the first soldier who came out of the cableway and fell down."
Qian Jiujiu was also stunned. So are they at the bottom of the cliff? He went to look for the iron bridge again, but found that there was no iron bridge at all.
My goodness, could this sudden flood be caused by the iron bridges returning to their original state? What kind of a big mechanism is this
Is this possible? Qian Jiujiu still has some doubts.
"Okay, sir, light the fire and illuminate this place a little so that others can see where we are and move in our direction."
It seemed that this was the only thing they could do so far. Tell everyone where they were and let them come to them for reunion.
Soon a campfire was lit up. The campfire on this side and the glowing fish on the other side allowed everyone to see clearly what was happening to them.
Chen Qiu sighed even more and shouted loudly: "Is there really no one to help me?"
Bai Lie's mouth twitched, and he looked at Chen Qiu: "Brother, stop shouting. It's useless. Look, that ball of light is coming."
Watching the ball of light getting closer, Chen Qiu finally saw clearly that it was a fish.
"This thing is a fish! It's coming towards us. Let's catch a few when it comes over."
Bai Lie was speechless. This guy was really bold. Who knew if the things that appeared in this place were normal or not, but he actually wanted to catch them.
No, it's definitely not normal. After all, he has never seen a glowing fish. It won't eat people, right
"Brother, these don't eat people, right?"
That's true. Maybe we can wait and see. When the fish come closer, Chen Qiu will pick up a piece of wood and throw it into the school of fish.
The school of fish was suddenly attacked and began to riot, and Chen Qiu and Bai Lie's eyes became filled with fear.
My goodness, this is not a fish, it's a monster! The wood that was thrown in was gnawed into powder in just a moment.
