Chapter 123 A false alarm

Wang Wentao was suddenly grabbed by Chen Ran, staggered, and almost squatted on the ground, but fortunately Chen Ran was behind him to support him, so he didn't squat down. A basin of cold water poured down from his head, cooling him down from head to toe. Right in front of his feet, the ground of the passageway in the stone chamber suddenly changed from a flat ground to a bottomless cliff. .

The light from the headlamp illuminated the misty cliff in front of him, and Wang Wentao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He felt chilly all over his body as if he had been stripped of his clothes suddenly. If it wasn't for Chen Ran This time, he stepped on it, but he fell directly. The cliff in front of him was filled with water mist, and it was still pitch black. Who knows what was underneath, and he probably would not survive if he fell down.

"Good boy, you saved my brother's life!" Wang Wentao pursed his astringent lips, turned his head and patted Chen Ran's shoulder heavily. Although he didn't say much gratitude, the infinite gratitude in his heart came through this slap The truth was passed on to Chen Ran.

"Brother Tao is gone."

Chen Ran was also shocked into a cold sweat. Although he had been releasing the energy aperture to detect, he didn't pay attention to the ground. Who would have thought that walking, the front would suddenly come to an end, let alone the end, unexpectedly It's still a cliff, isn't this a scam?

In this passage, in addition to the darkness, there is also water mist. Although the water mist in the sky is already very thin, the water mist is full of water under the feet, like Cao Lin and the others, if they don’t shine their headlights on their feet to observe carefully , it is difficult to see their own feet.

Wang Wentao walked in front. Of course, the headlight above his head couldn't keep shining on the ground, but only occasionally swept across the ground. In addition, although the headlight was powerful, the distance it shone wasn't too far. What's more, even if the headlights shine far away, the line of sight may not be able to reach this distance. Wang Wentao's line of sight is only within two meters, and the cliff in front is also filled with mist, so he naturally cannot see clearly. The passage ahead has come to an end.

It's also fortunate that Chen Ran's eyes can see at night, otherwise not only Wang Wentao would fall, but even he himself would be a little dangling.

"what happened?"

Cao Lin and Wang Zhiqing, who were following behind Chen Ran, also stopped one after another, each asking questions.

"Attention everyone, you must be careful when you come here. The passage ends here. There is a cliff in front of you. Be careful, don't panic, go step by step!" Wang Wentao slapped Chen Ran on the shoulder , and quickly reminded the people behind.

After being reminded by Wang Wentao, everyone who was still curious immediately became cautious.

After reminding everyone, Wang Wentao and Chen Ran crowded at the end of the passage, and looked forward carefully. Under their feet was a large crack with a width of seven or eight meters. The crack was filled with water mist. It is estimated that the stone chamber and the passage The water mist floated up from this big crack.

How deep is the crack, not to mention Wang Wentao can't see it clearly, even Chen Ran can't see it clearly. It is obvious that the bottom is not shallow. Looking at it at a glance, it is really terrifying, and one can't help but feel hairy. , not to mention Wang Wentao who was about to fall just now.

"Brother Tao, there is a road from here to the other side!"

Chen Ran's gaze, in the dark night, is also like in the daytime. He can see at a glance that there is a natural cave at the end of the passage, but there is a big crack between the cave and the stone chamber passage under their feet. Chen Ran discovered that on the right side at the end of the passage, there was a small platform big enough for one person to pass through. A rope was tied to the edge of the small platform to act as a railing.

After being reminded by Chen Ran, Wang Wentao also looked towards the right side next to the wall. He used the headlight to illuminate it for a long time before he could clearly see what was going on with this small platform.

"Xiao Ran, you have really good eyesight."

After seeing it clearly, Wang Wentao praised Chen Ran from the bottom of his heart. The praise of this sentence was not only for Chen Ran's ability to see clearly that this small platform could lead to the opposite side, but also for the reason just now.Just now Chen Ran gave him a hand, which was equivalent to saving his life, how could he not be convinced.

Of course, when he praised Chen Ran's eyesight, he also sincerely praised it. Thinking about it just now, he was walking in front and Chen Ran was following behind. In this scenario, the person in front stopped suddenly, and the person behind bumped into him, wouldn't he be knocked down all of a sudden, so the two people still kept a certain distance.

And in this dark passage, let alone seeing the situation in front of the person in front of you clearly, it is good to be able to see clearly in front of yourself. Although there are high-power headlights on your head, the lights like headlights It is different from the light bulb, the light bulb can illuminate the whole stone chamber, that is, divergent light, but the headlight has a targeted light, that is, concentrated light, in short, it is replaced He followed behind Chen Ran, and he would definitely not find that there was a cliff in front of Chen Ran.

Although Mr. Ma and the others at the back didn't know what happened, but after hearing Wang Wentao's words, they also understood that some emergency must have happened just now. Chen Ran saved Wang Wentao's life, which made them all nodded secretly in their hearts. It's just that it's not suitable to speak at this time, so I didn't make a sound.

Wang Wentao lay at the end of the passage, jumped onto the small platform with a light leap, and after jumping up, he turned his head to look at Chen Ran, indicating that Chen Ran should also come over, and after glancing at the railing made of rope, he reminded: : "Don't grab the rope, the rope may break after a long time."

The small platform was still very wide, about two meters wide. Chen Ran jumped over and was caught by Wang Wentao. Wang Wentao turned sideways and let Chen Ran pass first. He stood on the edge of the small platform and greeted everyone.

Then Cao Lin and the others also came to the end of the passage. After Wang Wentao reminded them, they could easily see the cliff ahead, but even though Wang Wentao had reminded them, when they saw the big crack, they couldn't help being shocked. Covered in cold sweat, his mind instantly thought of what happened just now, and he couldn't help but secretly wiped his sweat for Wang Wentao, and gave a secret praise to Chen Ran.

Although the end of the passage is a cliff, it is very easy to jump onto the small platform, as if a road suddenly turns in one direction and you can just cross it, as long as you don’t go forward, you will be fine. Wang Wentao stood on the edge of the small platform and let everyone They took it one by one, and reminded them not to grab the railing on the side.

This time, Chen Ran walked in front, but the front was not far away. Even so, he was much more cautious than before. Not long ago, he was detecting with an energy aperture. Like a fun toy, after what happened just now, he no longer has that kind of mentality, but seriously releases the energy aperture to detect... After making a bend, he jumped into this natural cave, where the It is much bigger, and there is a pool of water in the middle of the cave, with stalactites of various sizes and shapes all over the banks, and there are also many stalactites hanging upside down on the grotto, with crystal water drops dripping from the ends In the river, there is a crisp and pleasant sound of ding ding dong dong.

"Why is it so cold?"

Just after jumping into the cave, Guo Xiaohong couldn't help but exclaimed, who knew that before her exclamation fell, echoes echoed one after another in the entire cave, echoes came from all directions, some from the stone chamber Some came from the passage, some came from under the cliff, some came from other caves, sometimes it was very clear, sometimes it seemed to come from hell, sometimes it seemed to be singing loudly, and it kept ringing like this, There was no intention of stopping at all.

It rang for a long time, but it still didn't stop, so that everyone present couldn't help but focus on Guo Xiaohong. Professor Yue glared at her. Guo Xiaohong smiled embarrassingly, and wanted to explain. The one who spoke, Yan Ruyu who was standing beside him quickly pulled her back, motioning her not to speak, Guo Xiaohong immediately stuck out her tongue, and tightly closed her mouth.

This echo was really long enough, Chen Ran and the others waited for the echo to disappear, who knew that after waiting for more than ten minutes, there was no intention of disappearing at all, and in desperation, everyone stopped waiting.

Both Professor Yue and Mr. Ma carefully observed the cave here. They seemed to be very interested in this cave, and took out their notebooks to record something in the notebook. Wang Zhiqing also took out his camera and snapped pictures.

It is indeed a bit cold in this cave. It is already April in the outside world, and the clothes are not very thick, but inside it is a bit like being in an ice cave. When Wang Zhiqing and the others are busy, Chen Ran Standing on the side and releasing the energy aperture to detect, he detected the cliff below, but he still didn't reach the bottom when he reached the maximum distance detected by the energy aperture.

Then he probed the water pool in front of him again. Although the water pool was not big, it was quite deep, and he also didn't get to the bottom.

While Chen Ran was probing, Yan Ruyu and the others were not idle either, and Yan Ruyu got a small bottle from somewhere, and was filling the bottle with stalactite. Li Hongji seemed to have regained his spirit at this moment, and was also curious. He kept observing the cave, but just glanced at Yan Ruyu from time to time.

About ten minutes later, Wang Zhiqing said to the crowd: "Let's keep going, and try to explore this mysterious place as soon as possible." No matter what happens next, judging from the current situation, the value of this mysterious place will not be lower than the value of a mausoleum.

His words immediately echoed in the cave, adding up to Guo Xiaohong's voice before, it was so chaotic that everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes.

Professor Yue and Mr. Ma didn't dare to speak, so they nodded.

There is a natural opening in front of the cave. Everyone still followed the previous order. Wang Wentao walked in the front. Originally, Chen Ran was squeezed to the back, but he squeezed in again. He knew very well that, in fact, there was an energy halo He is more suitable to walk in the forefront.

It's just that there are some things that are hard to say clearly. If he walks in the front, I'm afraid not only Mr. Ma and Wang Zhiqing are unwilling, even Wang Wentao will definitely not agree.

In this way, he simply followed behind Wang Wentao, so that he could be reminded when he encountered a critical situation.

The next step is to go through one cave after another.

After going through more than a dozen caves, when he was about to pass through the next cave, Chen Ran's face suddenly changed, and he quickly grabbed Wang Wentao who was walking in front: "Brother Tao, wait a minute!"
