"I'll go in and see if there's any danger. You guys wait outside." Xu Xin stopped several people.
If something really happens inside, it would be difficult for everyone to go in. Someone has to be outside observing the situation.
"Okay, you are familiar with this place. We will help you watch outside and alert you if there is any situation." Ji Chaoyang nodded.
"Be careful, run outside if there is any danger!" Li Wenxi did not insist on following him, but said with some concern, and at the same time took out a crossbow, ready to take action if anything happened.
"Okay." With that, Xu Xin stepped into the mine. Keke did not stop him this time. Instead, she yawned in Li Wenxi's arms and closed her eyes again.
After stepping into the mine, Xu Xin did not feel any sense of crisis, and the ground did not crack. Everything was very normal.
The mine once again returned to its previous tranquility.
Xu Xin looked towards the deepest part of the cave. The bottomless hole at the deepest part had disappeared and the ground had returned to its normal state.
During the defense battle, some of the mutated giant ants crawled out of that hole in the ground.
He walked to the deepest part of the cave, took out his halberd, and scratched the hole twice with the tip of the halberd.
The soil is thick and there is no sign of it having been excavated.
"That's really strange." Xu Xin frowned.
Not only this cave, he also discovered three caves containing red mist flowers, plant hearts, and pangolin groups, which all disappeared after the defense battle.
Could it be that these holes in the ground are alive and can close on their own?
but……
He looked at the mark he had just made on the ground.
The scar did not heal automatically like it did the last time Xu Xin came.
The mine has returned to the state it was in when he first came here. Will it not repair itself?
So can he mine salt again?
He slashed the ground twice with his halberd.
But the situation happened suddenly.
As he paddled twice, the surrounding rock wall suddenly shook slightly, and countless small pieces of stone fell from the rock wall. He could feel the ground beneath his feet also shaking slightly.
"What's going on?" Xu Xin's whole body tensed up.
We are in the "Giant's Mouth" here, so we must not take it lightly.
Just as he was looking around nervously, he suddenly discovered that the side wall seemed to be... cracking?
“Crack!”
A slight cracking sound rang clearly in Xu Xin's ears, and he saw a crack as thick as a finger appear on the wall.
All the surrounding walls remained unchanged, except for this one, where a crack appeared.
Could there be something behind this wall?
The crack continued to expand to the thickness of two fingers. Xu Xin discovered that a faint white light was emerging from the crack, which was extremely obvious in the depths of the dark cave.
Sure enough, there is something!
Just as he was staring at the crack nervously, there was a sudden commotion behind him.
“Boo! Boo!!”
"Ah! Xu Xin! Come out quickly! Come out quickly!"
He heard Coco and Li Wenxi's anxious shouts from behind him, and he immediately turned around to look at the entrance.
What he saw made his pupils suddenly tighten!
The mine entrance, which was several meters wide, was actually slowly closing at this moment!
The rock at the entrance of the cave is moving left and right and closing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The moving rocks are like living flesh and blood, and even give people a sense of wriggling!
Xu Xin took another quick look at the crack. The crack was a little bigger and the white light was more obvious.
Li Wenxi was so anxious that he almost rushed in, but was stopped by Qi Xuefei.
Even if she rushed in, it would be useless and would only slow down Xu Xin's escape.
Li Wenxi naturally understood this. She shouted at the entrance of the cave, "Come out! Come out! The cave entrance is about to close! What are you still standing there for?!"
If this was an ordinary door, they might not be so nervous, but the shape of this hill reminded them all the time that this cave was like a giant mouth.
The giant mouth closes, and no one knows what will happen inside!
Xu Xin swallowed his saliva, ignored the cracks in the wall, and rushed out!
The hole closed very quickly, and it seemed that it would be completely closed in just five or six seconds!
Only then did Xu Xin realize that this hole was actually much deeper than the last time he came!
The last time he came, the deepest part of the cave was only more than fifty meters, but now, he estimated that the cave entrance was at least seventy or eighty meters away from him!
Even though he was much stronger now, five or six seconds wasn't enough to cover 70 or 80 meters! Especially since the ground inside the mine was full of potholes and unevenness, which slowed him down even more!
The moment the cave entrance began to close, Ji Chaoyang immediately took out his iron spear and placed it across the entrance, hoping to block the entrance with the iron spear and slow down its closing without affecting Xu Xin's escape.
But the cave entrance, which had been closing, immediately clamped the sharp spear. The powerful force instantly caused the entire spear to pierce into the cave wall. As the cave entrance closed, the spear body bent and the spear head penetrated deeper and deeper.
Xu Xin felt the mine shaking more violently, and suddenly there was a sound of wind behind him.
But he didn't have time to look back and continued to rush towards the cave entrance!
It closed too quickly, it’s too late!
At this moment, the Silver King suddenly jumped up from the spot, leaped dozens of meters, and jumped directly in front of Xu Xin.
