22 Cave 06 ‖ Stinky Man

Someone was indeed taking pictures of her, but it wasn't her boyfriend.

Yan Shuang retracted her gaze: "Stop arguing, let's go!"

Ye Qi was about to complain, but when he saw Yan Shuang's ugly expression, he seemed to understand something and pulled Liu Hu to quicken his pace.

On either side were impenetrable stone walls. Looking up, he discovered that the height above him was no longer as high as before, no longer providing a strong visual impact or shock. Instead, the space was gradually becoming narrower and narrower, seemingly endless at first glance. In many places, the middle-aged fat man had to lean sideways to pass.

Soon he was exhausted and out of breath. "How much longer do we have to walk? This is too uncomfortable. I feel like I can't breathe."

"Me too." Xu Yaoyu squatted down and exhaled through his mouth. "I feel like my lungs are going to burst."

Ye Qi kept a tense face all the way, obviously still in shock from what had just happened. After all, no one knew whether the death condition had been triggered unintentionally.

"Yan Shuang, what kind of broken road are you referring to?" Ye Qi suddenly stopped and complained to Yan Shuang with an unhappy look on his face, blaming him for everything that had happened to him.

Yan Shuang did not refute and lowered his head. After all, it was he who proposed to take this path, and if anything happened, it would indeed be his main responsibility.

Jing Ning held up a flashlight and pointed it at Ye Qi, the contrast between the light and shadow making his face more three-dimensional. "No one's forcing you to follow us, and we're not responsible for your personal safety. You can just turn around and leave now, and I don't mind. That's one thing. Secondly, you're the only one who's encountered something unusual since we left the hotel. Isn't it a good thing for us not to abandon you? Or do you have any better ideas?"

Yan Shuang stood behind him and couldn't see his expression, but from his tone, Jing Ning was obviously unhappy.

Faced with Jing Ning's aggressiveness, Ye Qi remained silent.

The atmosphere in the team was a little tense for a moment, and almost everyone's eyes were on him. It must be said that Jing Ning felt very safe.

"So what should we do now?" Ye Qi asked.

"I don't know." Jing Ning said.

Liu Hu quietly pulled Ye Qi with his hand, signaling her to stop talking.

Ye Qi pouted in grievance, leaning on her boyfriend's arms and acting like a spoiled child, "You stinky man, you won't even help me."

"Okay, okay, I stink, I stink, don't cry." Liu Hu comforted his girlfriend.

Jing Ning turned his face away abruptly, not interested in watching the young couple's evil deeds.

Only the middle-aged fat man was watching with great interest. If he were given a handful of melon seeds, he would probably eat them all day long.

"A small space will cause the air to be thin, so you will feel difficulty breathing. The weaker the body, the more obvious the reaction." Lin Haichen's voice broke the silence. At this time, his white coat was draped over Old Man Li. He pushed up his glasses and said hoarsely, "Don't breathe too deeply. Adjust your breathing rate slowly."

It was already afternoon and he had to rush back to the hotel before dark. Jing Ning calculated the time and finally decided to walk a little further. If he didn't find some useful wiring harnesses during the day, tonight would probably not be easy.

Xu Yaoyu looked terribly ill. Her face had turned pale as paper, and her body was losing warmth, freezing cold. She closed her eyes slightly, her entire body lifeless, as if she could collapse at any moment. Tian Yiyi supported her tightly, and the two of them slowly moved forward.

Tian Yiyi frowned, a hint of subtle worry flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly covered up. She increased the strength of her hands, fearing that Xu Yaoyu would fall to the ground.

"Be careful where you step, there's a deep pit here," Jing Ning warned.

"Holy shit!" Yan Shuang quickly stepped back, patting his chest with lingering fear, a thin layer of sweat breaking out on his forehead. Right at their feet, a deep pit suddenly appeared in the middle of the uneven ground to begin with. It was about a meter in diameter, and the edges of the pit were jagged, as if torn apart by some immense force. If one hadn't noticed the pit, falling into it would have been a piece of cake.

Jing Ning quickly pointed the powerful flashlight into the pit, wanting to see how deep it was. When the light shone into the pit, all he could see was pitch black, with no bottom visible at all.

"How fucking deep is this!"

Jing Ning found a stone and threw it into the cave. Three seconds later, the sound of it hitting the ground came from the pit.

"It must be about thirty meters deep. If someone falls in without paying attention, their body might be torn into pieces." Yan Shuang said.

"That's not the case, it's just that your brain will separate." Lin Haichen said lightly.

Yan Shuang: Doctor Lin, you have changed. You can tell jokes now.

Unable to see clearly inside, Jing Ning ignored it for the time being and told a few people to stay away and walk close to the wall.

After that, Yan Shuang focused most of his attention on his feet, fearing that he would run into a deep pit if he was not careful. If he was not killed by the ghost, but fell into the pit himself, he would be in great misfortune.

After passing through several winding bends, they finally emerged from the small, cramped space. The expanse before them was still open, but unlike before, it was no longer surrounded by cold stone walls, but by a massive, old, black door.

This door seems to carry the sediment of time, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

"We found the door so quickly? It's not difficult, why are you so nervous?" said the fat man with a smile.

The old people looked at him expressionlessly.

"no?"

…

"Xu Yaoyu, Xu Yaoyu..." Tian Yiyi put her head on her legs, shook her gently and called her name.

At the same time, Lin Haichen quickly turned around and squatted down to carefully check Xu Yaoyu's condition. He frowned, his expression serious, and his tone was filled with worry: "How could it become so serious?"

Yan Shuang, who was standing by, came over with concern. Looking at Xu Yaoyu lying on the ground, she asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Yeah, wasn't she fine just now?"

Tian Yiyi explained: "When we were walking together before, she was indeed still talking to me. Although she didn't feel well at the time, at least she still had some strength. But the further we went in, the more tired she seemed to be. But she kept saying that she could hold on. I was worried that she would slow down everyone's speed. So I asked her to talk as little as possible to save some energy. But who knew, she suddenly fainted." After that, Tian Yiyi lowered her head and tucked Xu Yaoyu's hair behind her ears.

After a careful examination, Lin Haichen said, "It's nothing serious. She's weak and suffering from lack of oxygen. Fortunately, she wasn't unconscious for long. She'll be fine soon."

Only then did they put their hearts back in their stomachs.
