Chapter 146
A different world
I poked the flashlight inside. It was pitch black and bottomless, and I didn't know what was underneath.
After looking at it for a few times but not seeing anything, he withdrew his gaze and looked at Chu Yuan aside, and asked in a low voice: "What should we do now?"
I have an inexplicable dependence on him. When I am with him, I always like to leave the decision-making power to him.
"Wait here for a moment."
Chu Yuan turned around and walked to the side. Even in such a dark place, he felt as if he was walking on flat ground.
I stood there shivering from the cold. Fortunately, after a while, Chu Yuan found a hemp rope from somewhere.
"Want to go down?"
Seeing the hemp rope in his hand, I vaguely understood something. It was going down there. It was dark and dark inside, so there might be something bad going on.
"If you are afraid, you can wait for me here."
After Chu Yuan finished speaking, he kept the hemp rope aside. It seemed that he had prepared the hemp rope for me with "kindness", otherwise he would probably have jumped directly in due to his ability.
"Who... who's scared?" I said forcefully, that's what I said, but I still felt a little scared of this darkness in my heart. Fortunately, he was there.
I walked to the entrance of the cave and took a look inside.
All I saw was pitch black, bottomless black, which gave me a sense of panic in the abyss.
I even vaguely felt that there was a giant beast crouching in the darkness below.
The darkness of this hole is its mouth. Once you enter, you are entering the mouth of a giant beast.
"I'll get off first, you follow me."
Chu Yuan picked up the hemp rope, tied a knot on the solid raised stone next to it, and threw the other end down.
"What if there is an underground river here? Wait a minute!" In order not to be so rash, I looked around, picked up a small stone, and threw it into it.
After about two or three seconds, I heard the sound of stones falling to the ground, but the echo coming from inside was like the sadness coming from the cave.
"You don't need to be so panicked!" Chu Yuan walked towards the cave.
"Wait a minute." I grabbed his arm and asked curiously: "I'm a little curious. Yesterday's drama required two people to fill in, but it's not necessary to come here. If something happens here, maybe I will just treat you as yours.
Tuoyoupin, why did you let me go down?"
His mind is more mature than mine, his brain is smarter than mine, and he is so strong. On the other hand, I am still a weakling.
If he came here alone, he would have no worries at all.
Chu Yuan thought about it for a moment and said something that made me extremely embarrassed: "Because, I like to see you scared!"
Well, this guy seems to have a bit of a bad taste!
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" He looked at my hand holding his arm.
I laughed dryly and let go of his arm, shook my head low and said, "No, but if I hold on to the hemp rope and go down, it will probably be a bit difficult."
I estimated that it would be about ten meters to the bottom of the cave. From this height, it would be as difficult for a girl like me to grab the rope and slide down, as it would be to run a marathon.
Fortunately, Chu Yuan did not jump down. Instead, he held on to the rope and held my feet underneath for me to use his strength.
Otherwise, with my arm strength, I might lose my grip if I slide three or four meters down, and eventually fall to the bottom and be smashed to pieces.
During the descent, I couldn't help but admire him sincerely. He had such good physical strength. He could hold the rope with one hand and support my feet with the other hand.
I stepped on the buffers on both sides of the cave with my feet and slowly descended, so as not to lose my hands on the rope.
The sides of the cave were very smooth and covered with moss like snake scales. My feet slipped a few times and I almost lost my balance.
The cave was deeper than I imagined. I followed the rope down for several minutes.
"The cave wall is very wet and slippery, please be careful." He warned in a low voice.
Only then did I notice that there was a lot of water vapor on the cave wall. If I listened quietly, I could hear the sound of dripping water.
When I was almost at the bottom of the cave, I looked up and saw that the entrance of the cave seemed to be half as small.
Soon a new problem appeared. When I was up there, I only considered whether there was water at the bottom of the hole, but ignored the length of the hemp rope.
The hemp rope was actually not that long. It was suspended almost four or five meters from the bottom of the cave. The bottom of the key was so dark that it was difficult to see what was going on.
Chu Yuan glanced down, raised his head and said to me: "After I go down, you let go and jump down, and I will catch you!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but let go and fell down.
There was no sound of landing, and in the darkness, I could only vaguely see his figure at the bottom of the cave.
He said in words that I could hear below, "Let go and jump down, I can catch it!"
I glanced down. This height is not high, but it is scary enough. Can he really catch it if I let go?
However, my hands were already a little numb and I didn't have much energy left. I could only close my eyes and let go of my hands with an attitude of resignation.
My whole body felt like I was falling into hell, but the next second, I fell into a generous embrace.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw Chu Yuan's face. He held me firmly in his arms, and it was still a princess hug that made people blush and heartbeat.
"Are you okay?" he asked with concern.
"It's okay!" I blushed, quickly got out of his arms, and straightened my clothes.
Turning on the flashlight, I could barely see my surroundings.
The cave is about one person tall and is shaped like a gourd. It becomes wider and wider as you go inside. Where the candle light cannot shine, there is an invisible darkness.
"Be careful, there's something weird here!" Chu Yuan didn't know if he smelled something, and a trace of uneasiness appeared on his face.
I looked around and whispered: "This looks like a cave where giant worms hibernate!"
But after saying that, I suddenly realized that he seemed like a big worm.
I turned on the flashlight and walked forward for more than ten meters. Suddenly I smelled a foul smell, which seemed to come from the sewer. It was so unpleasant that it made people bow their heads.
I covered my mouth and nose with my hands, but even this didn't have much effect. The smell was breathed into my mouth, slowly making me dizzy.
Chu Yuan didn't know if he sensed any danger. He quietly retreated to my side and held my arm warily.
As soon as I saw him like this, I immediately became nervous and felt like there was something lurking in the dark, slowly approaching the two of us.
"Is there something?" I asked in a low voice.
Will a monster suddenly emerge from the darkness?
Thinking about this, I felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for me to breathe, and finally I started to gasp for air, and my throat felt as uncomfortable as having cotton stuffed in it.
"Do not talk!"
Chu Yuan shook his head and warned me not to say anything.
After he finished speaking, he noticed something was wrong with me. When he realized something was wrong with me, he took out the pills he had given me when I went to the snake temple in the village, put them into his mouth without thinking, and then put his mouth in front of me again.
You want to feed me your mouth.
