"Oh my..."
Lu Xuan tried three or four times, but failed every time.
It seems that the thing pressing on the iron door is a big one.
"Lu Xuan, what's going on?"
Obviously, Shen Keyin below also saw the situation here with Lu Xuan and asked worriedly.
"Huh... I'm afraid we can't get out. Something's pressing down on us. Let me take a break and think of other solutions."
After many unsuccessful attempts, Lu Xuan was now completely exhausted.
He was originally climbing on this telescopic ladder, and his strength was very limited. In addition, the heavy object above was obviously not light, so Lu Xuan could only temporarily withdraw from the telescopic ladder.
Lu Xuan took the water handed to him by Chen Keyin and took a few gulps. Then he handed the flashlight to Chen Keyin and found a place with relative leverage, sat down to rest, and thought about how to push the door open.
"Lu Xuan, use this bamboo fork to pry...it doesn't seem hard enough."
Shen Keyin picked up the bamboo fork and swung it twice, then rejected her own proposal.
"I'll try again. You sit here and rest for a while."
Lu Xuan took a short rest, stuffed a piece of compressed biscuit into his mouth, drank two gulps of water, took a deep breath, and then climbed up the telescopic ladder again.
This time, Lu Xuan simply climbed to the top three rungs of the ladder and tried to use his shoulders to push the door open. However, after trying three or four times, he could only barely open a gap that was so narrow that even his index finger could not pass through.
"call……"
Ending in failure again, Lu Xuan returned to the ground panting and fell to the ground exhausted.
This was really embarrassing, as the two of them were locked in this hidden space.
"Lu Xuan, why don't you take a rest and let me try?"
Shen Keyin felt embarrassed when she saw that Lu Xuan had tried twice and she was just watching from below.
"Don't waste your time. I can't even push it open, so how can you possibly push it open? It's okay. Come and sit down. Don't worry. The worst-case scenario is that we can only wait until tomorrow. Meng Yao and the others will see that we haven't returned yet, so they will naturally come here to look for us."
Lu Xuan called Shen Keyin back. He naturally didn't want this girl to waste her energy. After all, his strength was more than twice that of Shen Keyin. Even he was completely helpless. How could this little girl possibly push open the door?
Instead of wasting energy, it is better to find other ways. If all else fails, just wait here until Leng Mengyao and the others come to rescue you.
"Well, let's sit here for a while. Maybe... maybe there's another exit here."
Shen Keyin sat next to Lu Xuan obediently and tried to comfort him.
However, these seemingly comforting words took on a different meaning when they reached Lu Xuan's ears.
Maybe what the girl said is right, there might really be other exits in this place.
Lu Xuan raised his head and carefully examined the iron door above his head. It seemed that the length and width were quite limited. Putting aside the instant noodles, mineral water and other supplies, how were these cabinets leaning against the wall in front of him transported in?
Lu Xuan immediately regained his spirits, got up from the ground again, took the flashlight from Shen Keyin, and slowly walked to the front of these wooden cabinets.
He knocked left and hammered right, and even opened a door, stuck his head in, and carefully looked at how the cabinet was assembled.
After looking at four or five cabinets of different sizes and styles, Lu Xuan's eyes glimmered with hope again.
"Keyin, this cabinet must have been purchased ready-made, not assembled on the spot. Its length, width, and height are all much larger than that iron door, so it definitely wasn't transported from this door. This means there really are other entrances and exits to this place."
Although waiting for Leng Mengyao's rescue is one method, Lu Xuan has his own considerations. First, Richard plans to go to the east to look for the parchment scroll in the next two days, so he can take the opportunity to attack the other party's lair and rescue Vivian. Secondly, if he is away from the cave for a long time, and Leng Mengyao is forced to come out of the cave to look for him, if his hometown is attacked by someone, then he will really be in tears.
Of course, Lu Xuan also had a third consideration, that is, as a grown man, he actually had to wait for a group of girls to save him. If this were to get out, it would be a complete disgrace to the man.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Xuan really didn't want to choose to sit here and wait for death.
At this moment, when Lu Xuan deduced that this place was most likely to contain a second exit, he felt an indescribable excitement surge within him, a thrill far surpassing the moment he'd unexpectedly unearthed a large amount of useful supplies. That ecstasy of discovering treasure was now replaced by a deeper, more urgent anticipation.
"Lu Xuan, where is the exit? This place feels like it's made of iron. Where's the door?"
After hearing this, Shen Keyin immediately looked around carefully, but after looking around, she really couldn't find the place that might be the second exit.
"Since none of the visible places are exits, then the only places left are these..."
Lu Xuan also looked around the entire space carefully, even checking every corner, but he really didn't find any "door" within the visible range.
Since there are no "doors" visible to the naked eye, the only remaining spaces are these cabinets.
"You mean...in these cabinets?"
Seeing Lu Xuan pointing at the wooden cabinets leaning against the wall, Shen Keyin's face was full of disbelief.
It's no wonder the girl has this expression. After all, it sounds incredible that the door is hidden in the cabinet.
"Never mind all that for now. There's no point keeping these things anyway. We happened to have an axe with us, so we might as well smash them all. Who knows, maybe the second door is behind these cabinets."
Since Lu Xuan determined that there was a second door in this space, he would naturally not give up so easily. It was just smashing a few cabinets. He had done all kinds of violent things since landing on the island. Smashing a few cabinets was a piece of cake.
Lu Xuan did what he said. He swung the axe on his back and smashed it at the cabinet closest to the stern.
"Bang..." There was a loud noise, and immediately wood chips flew everywhere.
Lu Xuan instantly smashed a big hole in the cabinet in the corner.
Lu Xuan didn't hesitate and swung the axe again, striking down again.
"Bang, bang, bang..." Deafening explosions suddenly rang out in the entire enclosed space.
Soon, the first cabinet was torn into pieces by Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan glanced at the wall behind the wooden cabinet and found that it was still a solid iron plate.
Lu Xuan was not discouraged and swung the axe again to smash the second wooden cabinet.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Another five or six axes fell.
The wooden cabinet shattered once again, but when Lu Xuan struck it with his axe for the seventh time, he suddenly discovered that the cabinet seemed to have a mezzanine, and there seemed to be something inside...
