Several people followed closely, almost moving, and after nearly two hours, they finally managed to walk smoothly along the path along the cliff.
Sun Hai breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to retract the rope. He finally made it through. His heart had been hanging all the way.
When he had pulled the rope to the end, Sun Hai looked back and saw that Master Qin Guan was still holding the rope with his eyes closed.
"We're here!" Sun Hai shouted suddenly. Master Qin Guan was so frightened that he dropped the rope.
Upon seeing this, Sun Hai happily collected the rope and rolled it into a ball, making me nervous all the way, so he could collect some interest first!
"Are we there yet?" Master Qin Guan looked around carefully. The vegetation on this side of the mountain was obviously not as lush as the one on the other side they came from.
"Let's go! Let's go down the mountain and take a look! By the way, Comrade Zhou, did Xiao Zhang tell us where Captain Wang and the others disappeared?" Mu Qingli looked for clues as he walked, and wanted to ask the flowers and plants about the situation of this place.
"He said it was past the cave we were in, about ten minutes ahead!"
"The cave is over there, let's go!" Mu Qingli looked up and pointed at a tall maple tree.
After saying that, he walked forward along the mountain road that had been flattened by them.
After they left, two more people came out from the bushes behind them. Who else could it be but Fu Hongzhou and Qin Xiao who followed them!
"Zhou Tao, go and try to see how long it takes to walk from here to the cave!" Director Zhou raised his wrist and looked at the Shanghai brand quick-change watch on his hand.
"Yes!" Zhou Tao stood at attention and saluted, then responded and walked forward silently.
Mu Qingli and the others stood there waiting, while Director Zhou looked at his watch from time to time.
Mu Qingli was quietly searching to see if there were any plants in this area that could communicate. This was strange, as they were all weeds and could not sense any frequency bands that could communicate.
Zhou Tao walked to the cave, stood under the maple tree at the entrance, and waved to everyone.
"Exactly fifteen minutes!" Director Zhou looked at his watch and said in a deep voice, "That's nearby, let's split up and look for it!" Director Zhou raised his eyes and looked around, but the surrounding view was blocked by grass and trees, and visibility was not high.
"Wait for Comrade Zhou to come back first!" Mu Qingli gazed into the distance. Zhou Tao was walking back from the cave, his figure moving through the bushes, appearing and disappearing.
"Don't separate! Wait for Comrade Zhou to come back, and then divide into three teams, two people in each team! So we can have someone to look after us!" Even when Mu Qingli was talking to everyone, she kept staring at Zhou Tao, afraid that something might happen.
"Oh no!" Just as he thought, a thin mist rose around Zhou Tao.
Several people quickly turned around and looked at Zhou Tao. They all saw a cloud of white mist rising out of nowhere under the bright sun.
"Cry..." Suddenly, there was a long howl, like an air defense alarm, which lasted only three seconds. A white dot flew from afar in the sky, getting bigger and bigger. Before we could see what it was, it plunged into the white fog.
Mu Qingli thought quickly and immediately dug a deeper hole, but did not expand it. She only wanted Zhou Tao to fall into it. The hole was not big, so the thing should not be able to get in.
Several vines whizzed over from the ground and blocked the entrance of the cave. The object in the air almost hit the rock. Seeing that it could not take the person away, it flew high again and flew in the direction it came from at a high speed.
"Hurry! Go and take a look!" Mu Qingli didn't care what the thing was and ran over quickly.
Everyone reacted and hurried to follow.
When he ran to the place where Zhou Tao fell, Mu Qingli had already retracted the vine, leaving only a pitch-black hole, and even Zhou Tao was nowhere to be seen.
“…”Is the pit too deep?
"Comrade Zhou fell into a pit! It looks very deep!" Master Qin Guan lay on the ground and stretched his head to look inside.
"I can't see clearly!" said Qin Guanzhu, taking out a match from his backpack, striking it and throwing it down.
"Ouch! I'm so burned! Who the hell threw a match at my face?" Zhou Tao, who was in the pit, shouted angrily.
Everyone looked at Master Qin Guan. He smiled awkwardly and put the matches away.
"Have you noticed? The fog has dissipated?" Director Zhou suddenly said.
"Yes! I discovered it a long time ago!" Master Qin Guan replied with a smile.
The sun is shining down, it would be strange if you didn’t notice.
"Zhou Tao! What's going on inside?" Director Zhou asked while lying at the entrance of the cave.
"I can't see clearly! I just feel that the place is very big!" Zhou Tao answered loudly, and there were waves of echoes.
Mu Qingli thought for a moment and shouted, "Comrade Zhou, I'll tie the flashlight to a rope and pass it down to you!" After a pause, he added, "Be careful not to hit your head!"
"Just hand it over! It's better than throwing matches!" Zhou Tao teased.
"! I didn't throw the matches!" Mu Qingli quickly clarified.
"Which idiot did this?" The rope was slowly handed down. Zhou Tao held the shaking flashlight, untied the flashlight and held it in his hand, without forgetting to ask a question.
"..." Everyone was silent, and just looked at Master Qin Guan. The meaning was self-evident: this was the idiot.
Qin Guan is the master of embarrassment o(╯□╰)o.
Zhou Tao shone the flashlight around and said, "This place is very big. There is a cave, but I don't know where it leads to!" As he spoke, he looked around again. The light of the flashlight was particularly conspicuous in the dark cave.
"Let's go down!" Mu Qingli shouted towards the cave entrance.
"Comrade Sun, tie the rope to that tree!" Mu Qingli pointed to a Luan tree growing nearby and said to Sun Hai.
"Okay!" Sun Hai took out the rope and untied the dumpling again. Master Qin Guan also went up to help.
The two men tied the rope and tugged hard before lowering it through the hole.
