A knife in love

Chapter 479

While Situ Qiao was speaking, the jet of water knocked away more than a dozen boulders, making the water rush out even more urgently.After everyone saw it, everyone's face changed color.Liu Yong said: "It seems that although the stone wall temporarily buried the two underground rivers, the momentum will not last long. I am afraid that after a while, the two underground rivers will break through the broken stone and meet here again..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he heard a loud bang, and a pile of rocks three to four feet away from the crowd had been knocked out, and then a bigger jet of water sprayed out, shooting straight into the air , the momentum is extremely astonishing.Everyone was startled, and hurriedly fled in all directions to avoid the broken stones scattered around after being hit into the air by the water column.Zhu Sanjia ran away and said loudly: "Mr. Liu is really eloquent. Before he finished speaking, the second river spewed out!"

After a while, many rock piles were knocked away by the flowing water, and two underground rivers finally rushed out from the rock piles.Although the current was turbulent at the beginning, it was only about ten feet wide.After a short time, the two rivers pushed all the stones in front of them aside.Some of the stones were larger, although they were not knocked away by the water, they were covered by the water in the blink of an eye.However, after half a stick of incense, the water potential of the two underground rivers has returned to its previous appearance, and they collided fiercely at the junction again, and then converged into a larger river, rushing straight towards the waterfall.

The waterfall was already blocked by the rocks piled up after the collapse of the stone wall, but under the rushing water flow, after a while, the hill-like rock pile was washed under the waterfall by the water flow, and there was a rumbling sound before everyone's eyes. The loud and powerful waterfall.

At this time, everyone had fled to a huge rock next to the intersection of two underground rivers. Seeing the unstoppable force of the water, everyone's expression changed drastically.Situ Qiao said loudly: "As long as the river washes all the gravels under the waterfall, we will find a way to go out along this underground river. Otherwise, if we enter the river and there are gravels falling behind, we will have no way to avoid it." You can avoid it, you have to be stoned to death..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone thought of Lin Yilang, the head of the Songshan School who died under the falling stone, and felt chills in their hearts.But I heard Liu Yong say loudly: "Although leader Deng and leader Lin had a bad idea, we had a rift with us. But they sacrificed their lives for righteousness and saved our lives. We still respect Deng and Lin as the leader of the Beggars' Clan and the head of the Songshan sect. Sect members, when I meet friends from the Beggars’ Clan and Songshan Clan, as well as martial arts heroes from other big cliques, I have to tell them that Clan Leader Deng and Sect Leader Lin are in misfortune to help us.”

Everyone naturally knew what Liu Yong meant, that he wanted to cover up the fact that Deng Yao and Lin Yilang had turned against everyone.Thinking that Deng and Lin did die to save everyone, even if they made some serious mistakes during their lifetime, they paid for their mistakes with their lives, so they nodded.Among them, Zhu Sanjia suffered the most tragically, being shot blind in the right eye by Deng Yao.Liu Yongsheng was afraid that he would not be reconciled, so after he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhu Sanjia intentionally or unintentionally.Zhu Sanjia said loudly: "Master Lin died to save my old Zhu. I lost an eye, but what is it?!"

Everyone stood on the boulder, only waiting for Situ Qiao to see the water situation clearly, and then tried to get out of the underground cave.Seeing that the water is getting bigger and bigger, except for the accumulation of gravel on both sides of the river, all the rocks in the river and at the top of the waterfall have been washed away by the rushing water.Situ Qiao laughed and said, "Fortunately, the water is very strong. After waiting for half an hour, we can find a way to leave this ghost place. This underground river will eventually flow out of the ground. We only need to follow the current and we will be able to Escape from this ghost place..."

But before he finished speaking, Murong Danyan said suddenly: "I always feel that something is wrong. Just now when we were on the rock wall, we heard the earth-shattering sound of the river rushing down the waterfall. Why is the sound much quieter now..."

Everyone was startled, and listened carefully, it was indeed as Murong Danyan said, the sound of the waterfall crashing was much quieter.The place where everyone was standing at this time was only a few tens of feet away from the waterfall. Compared with standing on the stone wall just now, the distance was much closer. It stands to reason that the sound they heard was much louder.It's just that the situation at this time is just the opposite, and everyone is a little terrified.

Seeing the look of surprise on everyone's face, Situ Qiao was very dissatisfied with Murong Danyan, and said with a sneer: "The water flow has just recovered, and the water momentum is not as good as before, but it's not surprising. If you don't believe me, wait another half an hour. Look, I'm afraid that your legs will be weak from fright."

Just a moment later, although the water flow became more and more turbulent, the sound from the waterfall did not become violent.At this time, everyone knew something was wrong, and even Situ Qiao's face was not very good-looking.When he was wondering, Chu Danyang pointed his right hand in the direction of the waterfall, and said in a trembling voice: "Why is the water on the other side of the waterfall flowing back?!"

Everyone looked intently, only to see that the water flow at the top of the waterfall suddenly rose, which blocked the underground river and even flowed backwards.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what was going on at the waterfall.What Murong Danyan was most afraid of was the giant snake, he said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that white snake crawled back from under the waterfall and blocked the top of the waterfall, causing the river to flow backwards?"

Everyone's heart trembled, thinking of the power of the giant snake, everyone's face changed drastically.

At this moment, Situ Qiao suddenly said: "Damn it, I remembered, it's not the White Snake playing tricks at all!"

After he finished speaking, he pointed to the river that was flowing back and said, "The river washed the rocks under the waterfall and blocked the underground cave below. The river couldn't flow out, so it poured back!"

Situ Qiao raised his head and looked around while talking, but everyone didn't know what he meant.After Situ Qiao turned his head, he saw that everyone was puzzled, so he said: "The river flows underground, which is different from the ground. It needs to flow in the underground cave. Although the cave is very wide, it's just that the river flows under the waterfall. There must be another exit. The stone wall collapsed just now, and the gravel was washed under the waterfall by the water flow, which actually blocked the crypt where the water exited the cave. The water flow was so fast that the water could not flow out, and the water level continued to rise. The water flowed back..."

As if to verify Situ Qiao's deduction, the water had overflowed from the top of the waterfall.The underground river could no longer flow forward, so it flowed around the cave.Only a moment later, the flood had submerged the pond where the people had hidden, and rose up to the boulder where the people were standing.Looking around, the entire cave has become a huge pond, and the water level is still rising.

Everyone saw that the surroundings turned into a swamp country, and most of the boulders under their feet were submerged in the water, so they had to keep retreating to the top of the boulder.In the end, everyone was crowded together tightly, and the water level was still rising. It would only take a while for the boulder to be completely submerged.

Everyone was terrified, and when they were thinking of nothing, they suddenly heard Situ Qiao laugh a few times, and said in his mouth: "It's wonderful, it's really wonderful!"

Seeing that the water was rising higher and higher, everyone felt uneasy, but when they heard Situ Qiao laughing out loud, they were all shocked.A few people thought to themselves: "If the water keeps rising like this, I'm afraid we'll all drown here. Only this lunatic is still laughing and saying what's so good about it!"

Liu Yong couldn't help asking: "Mr. Situ, could it be that you have some way to escape?"

Situ Qiao nodded, and said triumphantly: "It's not a bad thing that the cave under the waterfall is blocked by rocks. Although this cave is big, it will eventually end. As long as the water keeps rising, the water level will inevitably rise. It will rise with the water. Mr. Liu, what we were worried about was that we could not climb back along the stone wall. If the water level rises, can we go back to the top?!"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize, and immediately became excited.Originally, everyone was praying in their hearts that the water would rise as slowly as possible, but now they all hoped that the water level would rise rapidly so that they could escape here as soon as possible.

In just half a stick of incense, the flood has already submerged the boulder.Fortunately, everyone is good at water, they float on the surface of the water, support each other, and they are not afraid.The cave was originally narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. After the flood flooded the bottom of the cave, the water level rose faster and faster.Everyone used their hands and feet together, and as the water continued to rise, they saw that the surrounding stone walls were pressing more and more towards the center, but they were also a little frightened.But thinking that the water level rose so fast, maybe it would take more than half an hour to rise to the height of the fake Jingxin Temple, and then leave along the cave, but my heart was filled with joy.

Only a moment later, Liu Yong said: "It stands to reason that the water has already reached the false Jingxin Temple, why can't we see the shadow of the stone arch bridge?"

Situ Qiao said: "Mr. Liu, can't you forget? That temple was built on the crevices of huge rocks. The entire stone wall collapsed just now, and the temple must have fallen into the cliff with the stone wall, and it has long been turned into a piece of rubble... "

Liu Yong was startled, and said in a trembling voice, "If this is the case, how can we escape?"

Situ Qiao laughed and said, "If the water keeps rising, it will definitely rush out of the ground and form a spring. When we find the spring, we will naturally return to the ground."

Only then did everyone feel relieved.After another stick of incense, the surroundings suddenly dimmed.Surprised, Murong Danyan said in a trembling voice, "Brother Li, what happened?"

Li Qiufeng looked around for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I think the flood has reached the top of the cave, and most of the fluorite originally inlaid on the cave wall has been submerged by water, and the cave has become dark."

Sure enough, after a while, the surroundings became pitch black, and Xu Chenghe exclaimed, "We've arrived at the end of the cave!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Qiufeng's head had already hit the rock.His thoughts turned sharply, his left hand suddenly stretched out, and was pressing on the top of Murong Danyan's head.At this moment, he only felt a pain in the back of his left hand, but Murong Danyan's head was squeezed against the rock on the top of the cave.I could only hear Zhu Sanjia crying out in pain loudly, and said in his mouth: "Damn it, you killed me..."

Before he finished speaking, his whole body was already submerged in the water, and the cold river water poured into his mouth, choking him almost to the point of dying.He hastily shut up, only feeling that the surrounding water was rushing, and he was extremely terrified.
