The soil drilled by the ground false dragon is loose.
Let alone a large beast that can drag people away, even if they step on it, they will leave a shallow footprint.
But only some dragging traces can be seen here, and no footprints of beasts or the like can be seen at all.
Therefore, she couldn't figure out for a while what exactly dragged those people away last night.
But that’s fine too.
Even if their partners come looking for them later, they probably won't be able to find them.
The group of people searched very carefully, and at the same time, everyone also walked very carefully step by step in the forest.
Everyone was very patient. Even if it took them half a day, they could only walk more than two miles.
Long Tianyu has always been by her side.
He squinted his eyes and looked towards the woods where he didn't know the end yet.
"It's not an option to continue like this. Even if it gets dark, we won't be able to go far." He whispered.
Lin Mengya also knew.
However, they have no better way now.
While Long Tianyu was thinking about whether to call everyone over, they first concentrated their efforts to find one direction. If they found nothing, they would switch to the other side.
Lin Mengya suddenly stopped.
"Have you heard anything?" Her feet were fixed in place, and her whole body was like an alert deer.
Long Tianyu immediately made a gesture, asking everyone to stand still and not make any sound, and then listen attentively like her.
Soon, someone asked in a low voice: "Is the owner of the house talking about the sound of quicksand?"
"Yes, it sounds like this."
Lin Mengya looked at the other party with appreciation.
His ears are very sensitive, which is a very rare gift.
The man was a little embarrassed, but his eyes were still bright and pointed in one direction.
"over there!"
Long Tianyu waved his hand, indicating that the man should leave first, and then everyone followed.
Although everyone remained quiet, the speed was not slow.
Soon, they found the source of the sound.
But at first glance, everyone was a little confused.
They were two big rocks that looked like stone hammers.
The two stones are connected in the middle, and the quicksand flows continuously from the connected position.
They walked around and found that the stone was covered with various vines and plants, which looked like they should have been there for many years.
Lin Mengya completed a circle and finally came to the gap that was about the size of a human head.
Only then did she realize that in addition to the sand flowing out, there was also some sand flowing from the rocks on one side to the other at an extremely slow speed.
At the gap, it also accumulated into a small pile of sand.
It's like an hourglass lying on the ground.
"Such a big stone, hey, how heavy is it?"
Someone was curious and wanted to step forward and give it a try.
The result was, of course, absolutely motionless.
Some people knocked on it curiously, wanting to know whether the stone was solid.
As a result, the same knocking sound suddenly came from inside!
The man was stunned and thought there was something wrong with his ears.
So, he knocked harder, and the same rhythmic sound came from inside.
"Oh my god! Is there a ghost inside this stone?"
He was startled, jumped back three feet, and looked at the big rock in front of him in panic.
This sound soon alerted others.
Everyone gathered around, so after listening to his explanation, everyone continued the test with some disbelief.
This time! sound ratio
It’s never been clearer!
They could be sure that there were living things inside even if there were no people inside.
Long Tianyu's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that Qing Han is inside
"Get out of the way!"
He ordered in a deep voice.
Everyone walked aside obediently.
Long Tianyu walked up quickly and quickly checked the condition of the stone.
Unfortunately, he didn't know how thick it was inside, and he wasn't sure if it was Qinghan inside, so he quickly tapped the code word.
"Qinghan? Can the stone be broken?"
This time, there was no response at any time like before, but after a moment of silence, there was a rhythmic knocking sound.
"It's me, Kepo, be careful."
Long Tianyu and Lin Mengya were extremely surprised.
did not expect! I didn’t expect it to actually be here!
Since Qing Han said this, they had to break through as soon as possible.
They began to look around for a mechanism that could get into the stone.
It's a pity that it was not found.
The flow of quicksand is very slow, but Qinghan has been imprisoned here for who knows how long, and I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer.
Finally, the two of them discussed it and decided to start from that breach.
This time everyone is very experienced.
After all, he is someone who has experienced cutting iron chains, so he will be more comfortable this time.
Long Tianyu communicated with Qinghan in advance and asked him to cover his ears as much as possible. Don't be afraid, they will rescue him as soon as possible.
Qinghan also responded in the same way, telling them not to care too much about him, he could still survive
After some discussion, everyone decided to take turns using that ax to chop.
But this time they have to be as precise as possible, one person with one axe.
Fortunately, the joint between the stones was not too thick. After three blows of the ax, the joint was completely broken.
Only a muffled sound was heard, and the big stone that was not filled with light cold finally fell to the ground.
Previously, due to the uneven weight, Qinghan's side sank, which caused the sand on the other side to keep flowing into Qinghan's side.
Long Tianyu threw down the ax and continued to knock.
But this time, after a while, a voice came from inside, "It's okay."
But the sound of knocking was far less powerful than before.
It seems that this huge sound still has an impact on Qing Han.
This made Long Tianyu a bit jealous.
He didn't know what was going on inside, so he casually tried to ask Qinghan if he could climb out of the break.
As a result, Qinghan told him that his feet were trapped in quicksand.
Even if he wanted to come out, he would have to get some of the sand out.
Otherwise, once he sinks into the sand, he will be at risk of suffocation before he can climb out.
Lin Mengya made a rough judgment based on Qinghan's situation.
It should be located at the innermost part of the stone.
And he must have been almost buried before this huge hourglass-shaped thing tipped over.
So even if the hourglass fell over, he would not be able to climb out because he was stuck in the innermost part of the sand.
So now the simplest and safest way is to find a way to pour out some of the sand from this half of the hourglass, so that Qinghan can climb out.
It's just that this thing is too heavy. Even if others are called over, they won't have enough strength to lift it up.
At this time, Long Tianyu came up with a method, digging a hole!
Lin Mengya's eyes lit up and she felt it was feasible.
Anyway, just create a tilted angle and that’s it!
So, everyone started taking action.
Long Tianyu is responsible for overseeing the overall situation.
Lin Mengya relied on Xiaoyao's super computing power to quickly calculate the appropriate tilt angle to prevent the stone from completely sliding down and sealing the exit.
Others are responsible for digging holes.
There is strength in numbers.
Soon, the stone hourglass, which had been stable just now, tilted slightly.
Sand kept flowing out "swissly".
Long Tianyu immediately removed this part of the sand to avoid blocking the entrance of the cave.
Others also helped.
The fine sand inside is soft and dry.
It wasn't until a pile of sand that was as high as half a person was released that knocking sounds were finally heard from inside.
"Okay, I'll try."
Long Tianyu threw down his tools and replied to Qinghan, "Okay, take your time."
So, under everyone's gaze, a person slowly crawled out.
"Qinghan!"
Long Tianyu's expression remained as usual, but Lin Mengya saw his tightly clenched fingers.
"Brother, help me pull out everyone inside."
Long Qinghan showed a relaxed smile when he saw his brother's pale and bloodless face.
He is also at the end of Qiannu
After taking a deep breath, the person fell over.
Lin Mengya immediately stepped forward to check the situation.
fine.
It should be the effect of being in a hypoxic state for a long time.
The person just passed out and will recover after taking a nap.
But they didn't expect that there were people inside.
Their physical strength was obviously not as good as Long Qinghan's, so they couldn't climb out on their own.
In the end, Long Tianyu had someone pour out a lot of sand.
After determining that the tilt angle could no longer move, they filled it with some soil and stones to keep the huge stone funnel at a stable tilt angle.
Then, someone got in, dug out the sand, and dragged out the people inside.
Unexpectedly, besides Qinghan, there were three people inside.
Two adults and one child, they look a bit like a family of three.
The conditions of the three people were worse than Qinghan.
Especially that man. If Lin Mengya hadn't been there on the spot, he probably wouldn't have been able to be saved.
In contrast, the little girl who looked to be only eight or nine years old was the best protected.
Her situation is not much different from Qinghan's.
But after being frightened at such a young age, he will need to take good care of himself in the future.
After confirming that there was no one alive inside the stone hourglass, everyone felt relieved.
In a hurry, they carried all four people aside.
This place still belongs to the category of Ghost Mist Forest. To be on the safe side, Lin Mengya still had someone spread poisonous insect repellent around it.
Then, he used the medicine on his body to give emergency treatment to the four people.
Long Tianyu was always helping silently.
But his eyes would fall on his younger brother from time to time.
He only feels lucky now, if it weren't for Ya'er's ability to travel freely in the Ghost Mist Forest.
Then wouldn't his brother have to wait for death in this big hourglass
At this moment, he just felt that Ya'er was indeed God's gift to him.
With her here, I have nothing else to ask for.
"What are you still doing? Are you here to help?"
Lin Mengya turned around and saw the complicated look in her man's eyes.
This man!
Staring at him, Lin Mengya had no idea that her man had already regarded her as a god-like existence in his heart.
She will always be his only belief!
