"Brother Lu Xuan, he said there is a cellar under the rock wall."
Under the rock wall?
Lu Xuan was also stunned when he heard the answer from Taylor. Fortunately, he asked the old man, otherwise he would never be able to figure it out even if he racked his brains. Richard and his gang were so creative that they actually dug a cellar under the rock wall.
After tying up the poor old man in the tribe, everyone split into two groups. Shen Keyin and the four sisters were responsible for carrying the supplies in the tribe, while Lu Xuan and Taylor rushed to the rock wall again.
"Brother Lu Xuan, here."
After a while of searching, Taylor finally found an extremely secret entrance close to the rock wall. This entrance was completely different from the previous three. It was not made of bamboo, but was actually a stone slab. That was why Lu Xuan and others couldn't find this secret entrance after searching for a long time.
If Taylor had not observed carefully and discovered the gap between the stone and the surrounding areas, it would have been difficult to find such a secret entrance.
Working together, the two finally moved the heavy stone aside. Suddenly, their vision opened up, and the true scene inside the cellar gradually became apparent. However, what they saw made them both involuntarily express surprise.
To be more precise, rather than simply calling this place a cellar, it would be more like a secret tunnel or a deep cave.
Lu Xuan and Taylor entered the cave one after another. After turning on the flashlight, they were a little scared when they looked at the long and narrow cave.
"Brother Lu Xuan, this should be a naturally formed pit, but it has been expanded by humans. But there doesn't seem to be anything useful here. This tunnel seems to be quite long."
Taylor looked around and didn't find anything meaningful in the cave. He only found some traces of human excavation on the rock in the cave.
Obviously, this place can become a tunnel that can accommodate one person, and it was also dug by humans.
"What did that old man say just now? What kind of place is this?"
Lu Xuan and Taylor slowly advanced through the deep tunnel, nearly a hundred meters in length, yet still unable to glimpse the end. A wave of worry crept into their hearts. The surroundings were tightly enveloped in thick darkness. Even the tenacious beam of the flashlight, carving a narrow path through the boundless darkness, could hardly dispel the chill that permeated them from within, causing a palpitation of the heart.
"Alucia didn't say anything. Their language is very limited, and I couldn't tell whether he was talking about a cellar, a cave, a burrow, or a tunnel. But looking at his expression, I always feel that this place seems to be more than that."
After all, Taylor is not omnipotent. He tried hard to recall the content of his communication with Alusha, but still did not give Lu Xuan much useful information.
"No matter what, let's keep going. If we still can't see the end after counting to a hundred, then we can go back."
Although Lu Xuan really wanted to explore this place, for safety reasons, he still gave himself a time limit.
The two continued to explore deeper into the tunnel.
However, when the two of them silently counted to the 39th number, they encountered an unexpected problem. The tunnel in front of them actually forked...
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel confused. The winding and deep tunnel was already difficult for him to navigate. He never expected that this maze-like path would split into two, which made it even more confusing.
Although Taylor was by his side, providing some added support, Lu Xuan did not think it was wise to act separately from him in this unknown place.
"Brother Lu Xuan, what should we do now?"
Obviously, encountering such a situation was completely beyond Taylor's expectations.
"Go back first and try to ask that old man what this place is. It's almost dawn, and we have to leave this place as soon as possible."
What Lu Xuan was most worried about at the moment was the time issue. After all, it was only about an hour away from dawn. Although he was basically certain last night that Richard had led a large group of people to the east to fight with the cannibal tribe.
However, it was already past midnight, and with each passing moment, Lu Xuan grew increasingly anxious. Even though he had a gun, he was no match for the enemy's sheer numbers, so if he could avoid a direct confrontation, Lu Xuan would definitely not choose to engage in a head-on confrontation.
The two turned around and returned the same way.
When the two emerged from the deep, dark tunnel again, the eastern sky was already dyed with a vast expanse of orange-red, as if nature's most fiery brush was freely painting across the sky.
The ground beneath my feet still retains the moisture of the night dew, and crystal dewdrops hang on the tips of the grass, sparkling brightly in the early morning sun, like stars left in the world.
"Let's go back to the tribe."
However, as the sunrise grew increasingly beautiful, Lu Xuan felt a pang of unease creeping over his heart. He had no time to indulge in the beauty. He hurried, dragging Taylor along without hesitation, all the way to Charlie's tribe, not daring to delay even a moment.
After returning to Charlie's tribe, Lu Xuan took a deep breath. The good news was that the four girls were working in full swing and had almost moved all the supplies in the cellar. Only the last piece of bacon was left, and Shen Keyin was about to carry it out.
As soon as Lu Xuan and Taylor appeared in sight, Shen Keyin greeted them with a beaming face, her voice filled with uncontrollable excitement: "Lu Xuan, you're finally back! Any new discoveries? Yi Chen and Luo Luo have already dug a pit in the southern jungle. We'll bury all the supplies we found in there, and we'll be done."
