"Keyin, Lu Xuan, go to the left... I left a mark on the ground."
Seeing everyone running around like headless flies, Leng Mengyao quickly reminded everyone to go back according to the signs on the ground.
"Yes, don't take the wrong path, follow the hemp rope on the ground..."
Fortunately, Leng Mengyao made a sign, otherwise this group of people would have been running around in the cave and it is hard to say when they would be able to get out.
"Almost there is light ahead!"
Under Lu Xuan's leadership, this six-member team, after many twists and turns, finally glimpsed the gentle dawn of victory. A beam of bright morning sun, perfectly poised to penetrate from the depths of the cave, gently brushed away the haze in our hearts like a hand of hope.
"Boom..."
But at this moment, a loud noise came from behind again.
"Oh my god, what the hell is going on? Is this island going to collapse?"
Yin Yichen really has a wild imagination.
"It should be the sound coming from inside the cave. There is no movement outside."
Lu Xuan flashed and jumped onto the edge of the cave first. Then he quickly stretched out his hand and pulled his companions out of the deep cave one by one.
Fortunately, the world outside the cave still maintains its original tranquility, which is undoubtedly a positive sign - the deafening sound undoubtedly comes from the depths of this mysterious cave.
"Brother Lu Xuan, this cave shouldn't be naturally formed. I suspect it's an ancient tomb with a mechanism, but it was excavated by later generations. It's likely that man touched some mechanism."
Taylor thought carefully about what had just happened and came to a conclusion.
"Ancient tomb? Trap? So scary?"
After hearing Taylor's analysis, Yin Yichen and Shen Keyin, who were at the front, shuddered at the same time. If it was really as Taylor said, they had just had a close call with death. If Lu Xuan had not appeared in time, they would have lost their lives.
"Then... that guy surnamed Qin... is he..."
"This is the path he chose. If he's greedy, he'll have to be prepared for the consequences. It's already dawn, and time is running out! Everyone needs to hurry up, we have to get back first."
Lu Xuan looked up at the rising sun in the east and hurriedly urged everyone to hurry on.
I didn't expect that by the time we went down to explore for treasure, it would already be daybreak. My group had to get to the helicopter landing pad before noon, so we had to hurry...
"Boom..."
There was another huge vibration sound coming from the bottom of the cave, followed by a cloud of choking dust coming out of the cave entrance.
"What on earth happened in the cave? Why is there smoke?"
The crowd had already walked about ten meters away. After hearing the noise, they all turned around and looked. When they saw the smoky scene, they were all dumbfounded.
"Hurry up, this color of smoke might be poisonous. That kid might have really triggered some mechanism."
Seeing the bluish-brown smoke continuously coming out of the cave, Lu Xuan hurriedly urged everyone to move forward. The smoke looked abnormal no matter how he looked at it.
"Then... is that man..."
Shen Keyin's heart trembled suddenly, thinking of Qin Jianli still trapped in the deep cave, and an indescribable fear crept into her heart. The girl couldn't help but wonder, if they had escaped a few minutes later, would it mean that they would also be lost in this dark abyss forever?
"This is the path he chose himself, and no one can redeem him. Okay, everyone, hurry up. Although we still have plenty of time now, we'll be taking the sea route later, and no one knows what will happen."
Lu Xuan did not feel the slightest sympathy for Qin Jianli's experience. After all, this was the path he chose himself.
"We need to go faster. The southwest wind is not conducive to our travel."
Taylor was walking at the front of the team at this time, and he deliberately felt the downwind direction, but when he felt the strong southwest wind, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"It's so heavy...Handsome boy, please help me carry it."
She was hurrying along with a backpack full of supplies, and after walking one-third of the way, Miss Yin began to complain bitterly.
"You found it yourself. Either throw some away or continue carrying it yourself."
"Hmph, just carry it on your own."
Lu Xuan would never indulge this girl. He was greedy and filled a bag with things, but now he couldn't carry it anymore.
"Boom..."
Just as everyone crossed the east-west stream, the entire island suddenly began to shake.
"Is this...is this a real earthquake?"
Feeling such a violent movement, Yin Yichen, who was originally at the end of the team, ran forward holding her backpack full of treasures.
"Everyone, be careful. We can see the lake after we pass the jungle ahead. Taylor, what's going on?"
Lu Xuan didn't know what had happened at the moment. How could the vibration that was originally only felt in the cave now spread to the entire island?
"Brother Lu Xuan, I'm not sure about this either. It's possible that this island is already located in an earthquake zone, and the underground tremors just now triggered plate movement."
Although Taylor made great achievements in engineering, his knowledge of geography and topography was not very detailed and he could only give a rough guess.
"Everyone, please be careful. There's a fallen tree ahead."
Due to the huge tremors, some trees in the jungle have fallen.
People had to go around the fallen trees.
Fortunately, the vibration that lasted for more than twenty seconds soon stopped.
"Hurry, once we get out of the jungle, we'll be in our backyard."
Taylor ran out of the jungle first, and then helped several girls out of the jungle one after another.
It seemed that because of the violent geological movement just now, the entire lake surface was shaking constantly.
"Taylor, you go start the boat. Mengyao, you, Keyin, and Yichen go load all the important stuff onto the boat. We're leaving immediately. Whether we can catch the helicopter or not, we can't stay here for long. Everyone, hurry up."
When Lu Xuan returned to the cave first and saw debris sliding down from above, he was ready to abandon the cave.
After the earthquake just now, this cave is no longer safe.
"Brother Lu Xuan, the boat can depart now."
Five minutes later, everything was ready at Taylor's place.
"Lu Xuan, we have taken everything on board."
Leng Mengyao has also moved all the necessities onto the boat.
"Let's go...let's get on the boat and set off!"
With Lu Xuan's order, the ship carrying six people and all their belongings began to head towards the offshore island.
"Boom..."
But when the ship sailed out two or three hundred meters, the entire island began to shake violently again...
