Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 651 Adventure
"Both those two hits were based on instinct. It's good enough that I didn't make you fall." Chen Qing said dissatisfiedly.
Shen Yanming didn't say anything, but he meant the same thing.
"Alright, alright, let's talk about it later. Let's take a look at what's going on up there." Li Gangtie came out to smooth things over.
"Okay, okay." Yu Shui looked up, stretched out his hand and pushed hard, and the wooden lid was pushed open.
Hearing the "clang" sound, several people's eyes rolled around.
Shen Yanming and Chen Qing put Yu Shui down. They both rubbed their arms and legs and quickly adjusted themselves.
"From the sound, there should be some space up there. Let's get some fresh air and then go up and check it out." Li Gangtie said.
No one had any objection, but Yuan Jiasi was a little panicked, "Don't be so curious!" What if you kill the cat?
Li Gangtie smiled and said, "It's okay. If you are scared, you can wait here. Don't worry, we will go in and take a look and then come out."
Yuan Jiasi shuddered all over and shook his head, saying, "No, no, I'd better follow you guys, so I can at least help you." I was left alone, scared.
They smiled at each other and said nothing more.
About fifteen minutes later, Shen Yanming and Chen Qing lifted Li Gangtie up high enough for him to hold onto the hole above.
Li Gang pushed with his iron arm and jumped into the cave.
Then I found that the space above was actually not small. Although I couldn’t stand up straight, if I bent down and looked around, I could see that it was several dozen square meters.
It was just empty, with nothing in it. However, there seemed to be a passage.
"Come on, come up, there is a passage here, let's explore it together." Li Gangtie squatted at the entrance of the cave and said with his arms stretched out.
Shen Yanming and Chen Qing looked at each other and sent Yu Shui up. Li Gangtie pulled people up to reduce the pressure on the people below.
Next is Hara Yoshiji.
Finally, Shen Yanming and Chen Qing were more troublesome. Old Shen thought for a while, and then one of them picked up Chen Qing and lifted him up.
But the height was not high enough, and Chen Qing couldn't reach the edge of the cave. Four hands reached down from above at the same time and pulled Chen Qing up.
As for Yuan Jiasi, he knew nothing and didn't dare to cause any trouble, so he just waited on the side.
After Chen Qing went up, both of them shook their hands violently.
Well, pulling someone up really tests your arm strength. If you’re not careful, all your efforts will be wasted.
But no matter what, it’s good that people are here.
After resting, Li Gangtie looked at Shen Yanming and said teasingly: "Yanming, just jump up like you did just now. If we can hold you up, we will pull you up. If we can't hold you up, just jump a few more times, or wait where you are."
Shen Yanming raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Okay, it's time to test Captain Li."
Li Gangtie originally wanted to deliberately fail to catch him, so that Shen Yanming could jump a few more times. But after hearing what others said, he didn't dare to do anything.
If I can't catch it, it will be a problem for my ability and I will be laughed at.
"Well, well, when you jump, just shout so everyone can get ready."
"Okay, no problem."
Shen Yanming took out the thermos from his backpack, turned it on, gulped down two sips, and put it back.
He himself didn't feel anything, but the four heads at the entrance of the cave felt a sharp pain in their teeth.
"This tooth is really good, and it doesn't mind the cold." Yuan Jiasi said with emotion.
Although the cup is heat-insulating, the temperature outside is so low that the heat-insulating effect is not very good. For example, he tries not to drink water when he is outside, for fear of freezing his teeth and his stomach.
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's light salt water, the temperature is fine, it won't freeze." In fact, it had already been replaced with space spiritual spring water.
There was no other way. After a whole morning of hard work, he had almost exhausted all his energy. In his current state, he might not be able to jump up.
When he felt that his body was full of energy again, he said to Li Gangtie: "Please connect my bag first, otherwise it will affect my performance."
Li Gangtie nodded: "You throw it up and I'll catch it."
Shen Yanming stood right below the hole and threw the bag up. Because there were a lot of things in it and it was very heavy, it didn't really go up.
But Li Gangtie was very agile. He reached out and grabbed the shoulder strap, then pulled the backpack up with force.
It just rubbed against the ground a few times and got covered in dust, making it extremely dirty.
But no one cared. Li Gangtie patted it twice and put it aside.
Seeing this, Shen Yanming reminded: “I jumped!”
"Jump, we'll pick you up above."
Shen Yanming knelt a few times, eager to try. When he was ready, he jumped up, and his outstretched hands were grabbed by someone.
But he was too heavy, and his arm hit the edge of the cave. But Li Gangtie and Yu Shui didn't let go, and pulled him up with all their strength.
After Shen Yanming's upper body passed the hole, no one was holding him back. He lay on the ground, moving forward little by little until he pulled his long legs up.
Then he sat on the ground, rubbing his arm, frowning and crying out in pain: "Oh my God, my bones are about to be broken!"
Li Gangtie felt a little guilty and was about to reach out to rub Shen Yanming.
As a result, Comrade Lao Shen dodged and said, "Hey, you are very strong, you'd better stay away from me."
Li Gangtie withdrew his hand awkwardly and said, "It's rare for me to be kind, but you don't want it. Just bear with it."
Shen Yanming forced a smile, reached out to pull his bag over, took out the thermos, twisted it open and took a couple of sips, then put it behind his back and said, "Let's go, let's quickly see what's going on. It would be best if we can find a way out."
"Okay!" Li Gangtie stood up, bent over and led the way. The others followed behind.
Several people followed the passage in many twists and turns. Sometimes it was pitch dark in the mountains and they couldn't see the road without a flashlight. Sometimes they were at the edge of the mountain and could see through the cave entrance that they had reached the mountainside.
It’s true, we’re getting higher and higher.
After walking around for more than ten minutes, they were finally able to stand up straight. After walking along the passage for a while, they found several large wooden boxes in a cave.
The dust on top was probably three or four centimeters thick, and the wood was rotten and about to fall apart.
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what was inside.
Yu Shui blinked and asked, "Captain, should we watch it or not?"
Li Gangtie turned around and asked Shen Yanming: "What do you think?"
Shen Yanming was dumbfounded and looked at Li Gangtie: "You make the decision, it's up to you to watch it or not. But if you watch it, take precautions."
Li Gangtie nodded, put on a mask and gloves and walked forward.
Yuan Jiasi immediately grabbed his arm and said, "Captain, can you please stop being so curious?"
Li Gangtie patted his shoulder soothingly: "Since we've come here, we have to see the results. It's okay, if you stay away, it won't affect us."
There was no other way, Yuan Jiasi could only let go.
Li Gangtie carefully pried open the lock on the box with a dagger, and then opened the lid with some trembling.
As a result, the glittering jewels and precious stones inside almost blinded Yuan Jiasi's eyes.
