Chapter 206

Qiao Sheng had been prepared mentally. She thought Xia Beibei should have fallen in this position. Who would have thought that she had been sitting on the stone for a long time, and the boulders and small stones were all motionless.

"What movements did you see them make when they disappeared? I only noticed that Beibei was sitting on this stone. Where did they fall in? Beibei, can you hear us talking?" Qiao Sheng looked sideways at Li Mu and asked uncertainly. Seeing him shaking his head, she could only shout at the ground.

There was silence all around. Qiao Sheng felt cold in her heart. Her mind was crazy than what she had seen on the Internet before, such as the ground split apart due to an earthquake, people fell in, and then closed again, leaving only hair on the ground, and the shouting from the ground disappeared.

The two people on the ground were almost dying of anxiety. Yousu suddenly used his tail to frantically sweep Qiao Sheng's thighs to attract her attention. The itching on her legs made her turn her eyes to Yousu.

Yousu saw her looking at him, turned around and walked to the side of the boulder. Qiao Sheng and Li Mu noticed something was wrong and followed him.

As soon as the two people and two animals arrived, Yousu started to hit the boulder with his head. After three times, the boulder actually moved out a hole as big as a person. He did not rush down, but shouted twice towards the hole. When they heard the voices of Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang, they were relieved.

But before they could say a few words, the hole closed again, but they were already sure that they were safe, so they felt much more relieved.

This time, Yousu didn't hit him with his head. Qiao Sheng stretched out his legs and kicked three times. The underground cave reappeared. He took the opportunity to ask about the situation below. Xia Beibei's reply was that he couldn't see anything. It was pitch black. With the wind lamp turned on, he could only see the corridor. The two of them didn't dare to move forward rashly. They could only stand at the bottom of the cave and look around.

As the underground cave closed, Qiao Sheng sent a few bottles of iced green bean soup to Xia Beibei's mailbox. It must be dark and hot down there. The half bottle of sour plum soup that Xia Beibei drank was still on the ground. There must be nothing to drink now.

There were four people, two of them were doing nothing downstairs, they lit a lantern and looked around, two of them were sitting on top actively dealing with the situation, Li Mu was going to go back to the boat to get the rope, and tie it to the boulder, leaving Su on top to guard, knock open the hole every once in a while, if they were there, put the rope down.

Qiao Sheng suddenly remembered that Xia Beibei still had a ladder, he didn't know if it was high enough, could it be used, he sent her an email, the reply he got was no, it wasn't high enough, the ladder was only more than five meters, and the hole was nearly ten meters.

Qiao Sheng also said that with such a high distance, the two of them were lucky not to get hurt after falling down.

[Don't mention it. Lin Haiyang fell down first. I fell on him. I fed him the Baibao Pill and he recovered the lost blood. He didn't seem to be injured anywhere else and could jump around.]

Li Mu heard that the rope had to be at least five meters long. When the cave was ten meters deep, he felt that this matter was quite troublesome. The rope made directly from leaves was only one meter long. In order to prevent accidents, he must extend the rope to ten meters. Counting the loss of knots, there must be at least eleven or twelve ropes. They were also worried that

the rope could not bear their weight, so they needed to be thicker. Two ropes kept them busy for a long time.

He also told You Su to guard the door. He didn't know if there was a way back from other places, so this cave was their retreat.

Because once this hole is closed, no sound from below can be heard, so Su can knock it open once in a while, and when they hear their voices, they can throw the two ropes down.

Just in case, after doing the preliminary work, Li Mu also put the rope down to test it, and confirmed that Xia Beibei touched the rope. Although the hole above will be closed, the rope is not broken, and it is almost like growing in the soil. He knocked the hole again to check that the rope is indeed fine, and then he prepared to go down with Qiao Sheng.

As for why they didn't leave the rope in the cave, they were afraid that after they left, if there was any chaos and the rope was torn, they would have no way out. It would be safer to let Yousu watch over them. They even brought the cassock kid to guard together. With the fighting power of these two, it was basically impossible for ordinary players or NPCs to get close.

When going down the cave, Qiao Sheng walked in front, because the time for the cave entrance to be open was limited, so she had to go down as quickly as possible, otherwise she would get stuck halfway and the cave entrance would close, and she would most likely be cut in half.

So Qiao Sheng put on leather gloves and tied the end of the rope to her waist, and pulled the rope into the cave. The process of sliding down was a bit fast, and she landed safely after a while.

Lin Haiyang was right below the cave entrance. When she saw clearly that there was someone under her feet, she had already kicked him on the shoulder.

Qiao Sheng had just stood up when Li Mu, who was following behind, also came down. Before she could remind Lin Haiyang to change places quickly, Li Mu kicked him again.

"Too cruel, Sister Qiao kicked my back, Teacher Li kicked my chest, leaving me no chance to survive, cough cough cough." It didn't hurt much, but he was shocked by the sudden kick. Lin Haiyang exaggerated and coughed as if he had tuberculosis.

Xia Beibei elbowed him again. It was obvious that this move had been practiced countless times. He dodged it perfectly by turning sideways.

You Su at the cave entrance knocked open the hole again. Hearing Qiao Sheng's words, he and the monk pulled them up one by one.

When they reached the bottom of the cave, the four of them prepared to explore the tunnel. Qiao Sheng originally thought that there would be several forks, but Xia Beibei and the others had already figured out the entrance to the cave. They walked in for a minute, but because the tunnel was getting smaller, they shrank back again.

This time, Li Mu was still in the front, Lin Haiyang was the last, Qiao Sheng was the second, and Xia Beibei was the third. Because they knew that the tunnel ahead would get smaller, they walked forward one by one.

As Xia Beibei and the others said, after one minute, they could clearly feel that the tunnels on both sides were getting closer and closer to them. After five minutes, they had to turn sideways to pass through.

As the space was getting smaller and smaller, Li Mu had to grope his way forward. The wind lantern could not be lifted up, so the space it could illuminate was very limited.

He could only keep reminding the three people behind him where there were protruding stones and that they needed to be careful to avoid them to avoid bumping into them.

After half an hour of moving forward, they finally managed to get out of the narrow corridor. In the end, they just had to force their way out. When they got out, they looked back at the narrow gap and couldn't help but exclaimed that they had really squeezed out of such a small gap.

Now they entered a stone chamber. They lifted the wind lantern and walked around inside. They actually found the candlestick. Considering the loss they had suffered before, they were just passing by this time and had no intention of lighting the candlestick.

In the corner of the stone room, a pigskin backpack was found. This thing obviously belonged to a player. Li Mu tried to open it. After he succeeded, everyone knew that the owner of this backpack must be a dangerous person, otherwise other players would not have the opportunity to open this bag without the owner's permission.

The bag contained some wooden boards and rotten fruits. After checking, Li Mu handed the backpack to Lin Haiyang. He had been used to collecting things in the past few days, and this was a subconscious action.

Lin Haiyang also took it habitually, threw away the rotten fruits inside, and directly put the backpack into his own bag.

Then the four people continued to find a way forward. There was another door on the other side of the stone chamber. The wooden bolt on the door was obviously damaged by someone. It seemed that a group of players passed by here.

Following their pace, they pushed open the door and entered the corridor again. This time the road was quite wide and there was no constriction. They walked unimpeded for half an hour and entered another stone chamber.

Several people pushed the door open and found that the candlestick inside was lit. They subconsciously covered their mouths and noses.

"Who are you?" A faint voice came from the corner, and Qiao Sheng and his attention was immediately attracted.

"Player? NPC?" Qiao Sheng asked uncertainly.

When they learned that the person in the corner was a player, several people carefully approached. After some questioning, they found out that this female player named Mi Xiaoqian chose to stay here because she was hungry and didn't want to drag down the team members. It is said that she has been lying here for several days. Because this stone chamber has never seen the sun, she doesn't know how long.

"Does your teammate have no food in his bag? How can he bear to leave you here alone?" Xia Beibei took out a few mung bean cakes and a bottle of fresh water from his purse and handed them to the other party.

Then he found that Mi Xiaoqian was so hungry that she couldn't even lift her hands. Looking at the mung bean cakes and fresh water in her hands, Xia Beibei was in trouble. In this situation, they didn't have porridge or the like to feed her, but she couldn't eat snacks anymore.

Qiao Sheng came over to help break up the mung bean cake and put it into a glass bottle. When it dissolved a little, he poured it into her mouth like water. At this time, he didn't care whether she could eat mung bean cakes or not because she had been hungry for a long time. At least he could fill her up first, otherwise he was really afraid that she would disappear from their sight in an instant.

Facts have proved that players who can hold on for so long are not so easy to die. After drinking the mung bean cake water for a while, Mi Xiaoqian's voice became louder.

Although she still couldn't sit up, she could already lift her hands. Xia Beibei took out a dozen mung bean cakes from her purse and handed them to her, and also took a few bottles of water for her. She really didn't want her to starve to death after she had been saved.

They were in a tight time frame and couldn't delay their journey just to save one person, so they could only leave some food for the other party and leave. Seeing that Xia Beibei was attentive, Qiao Sheng also took out a lot of corn and sweet potatoes from his bag. Knowing that Mi Xiaoqian had a lot of wood in her bag and could make a fire by herself, he didn't care about her.

He just told her that if she didn't come back for a long time, it meant that they had found a way out, and asked her to slow down and go along the way.

If they came back after a while, it meant that the only way out might be the one they came down from, and then everyone would think of a way to get out together.

The reason for saying this is because they are afraid of telling the other party the way out. If he is not a good person, then they will have no way out.

After doing all this, the four of them decided to first get to know Mi Xiaoqian's team, from the number of people to what they encountered after going down the cave. Li Mu's questions were also skillful, and they asked everything they wanted to know, whether the other party wanted to say or not.

After that, they did not stay any longer, and the four of them continued to move forward along the only exit that Mi Xiaoqian pointed out.

Because there was only one way, they were not afraid that she would deceive them.

After about five minutes, they walked a little further away from the stone chamber, and then they began to discuss integrating the information given by Mi Xiaoqian.
