C192 (1/2)
It was at this moment that the ground trembled yet again, but it was not as strong as before, as if there was an aftershock.
However, because of this tremor, the hole shrunk a bit. It would probably be completely blocked up very soon.
”What should we do?” The two soldiers asked each other. They were the only ones who could make decisions at the moment.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew past, causing people to be unable to open their eyes, it was Little Pei who sensed that something was wrong with his father and rushed over.
The Golden Dragon Immortal Body could have gone through the wall, but the chubby little Golden Dragon wanted to go through the hole and squeeze out through it with difficulty.
He looked into the valley and found that the situation inside was not looking good. However, he could not interfere, so he quickly squeezed his way back through the hole and inch by inch.
Some of the dragon scales on his body had been rubbed off. It was very painful, but they still fell onto the rocks in the cave and could support a weight of ten million jin.
After another gust of wind, everyone opened their eyes.
”I'll go in.” On her side, Xiaowan rolled up her sleeves and tightened her belt. She believed that if they did not go in, the cave might really be sealed. The people inside did not have food or water. Even if they were not crushed to death, it was unknown just how many days they could last.
”Fill the bags with water and bring some dry food. Oh right, did the military doctor also follow them in? Does he still have his medicine box? ” The Xiaowan arranged all of this calmly and then said to everyone, ”If I don't find them, I will return to my original path. You can rest assured.”
Hanxi quickly said: ”Sister-in-law, I will go in with you.”
Seeing that she was determined and that he was indeed afraid, only the two of them could enter the cave, Xiaowan agreed.
Thus, regardless of whether the two big brother soldier agreed or not, they went to fill the water bags completely. Xiaowan gave herself another set of clothes and tied up her belt tightly.
She put on her clothes and came over to help with the bags of water and the food. She clearly remembered that she had used the leaves as a plate and gathered a bunch of wild fruits for her husband to eat.
But now, only a few fruits remained, and there were no scattered fruits. Xiaowan looked around curiously. Could it be that some wild beasts were here to eat the fruits?
But now was not the time to investigate who had eaten the fruit. Everyone moved their things to the cave entrance.
Little Pei sat there and ate the remaining fruits. He wiped his mouth in satisfaction and watched his mother's petite body crawl into the cave.
He had drilled it just now and left behind its scales. Even if an earthquake were to occur, the hole wouldn't collapse. It could guarantee his mother's safety.
However, this was not a matter of intentionally interfering in the affairs of the mortal realm, he could only blame himself for being too fat.
When Xiaowan went through the cave entrance, she saw the golden light shining on the rocks inside. However, right now, she was really concerned about the safety of her husband and everyone else, so she was too busy to be curious about these strange sights.
After successfully drilling through, he first received the water bag and the dry rations. After confirming that the cave entrance was not small, Hanxi also drilled into the cave.
”Madam, Miss …” the soldier shouted from the mouth of the cave. ”You must be careful.”
The two of them carried the food and drinks on their backs as they walked deeper into the valley. Fortunately, the earth didn't tremble again. The deeper they went, the darker it became.
”Hubby …”
”General Wei …”
In the serene valley, the cries of the two could be heard. Finally, someone agreed in the direction of the light.
Ling Chaofeng, whose body was covered in dust, looked at Xiaowan and Hanxi in shock. He asked worriedly, ”You two aren't going to the empty space, why are you here?”
When the Xiaowan saw her husband, her heart dropped and she rushed into his arms.
Hanxi stood at the side and watched, she only saw the injured people resting against the wall. Their injuries were all different, but she didn't see General Wei. As for the soldiers who were uninjured, they were currently fighting against a huge boulder. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough manpower, so it was impossible to pry them apart.
”General Wei and a few soldiers are trapped inside. We don't know the situation for now.” Ling Chaofeng frowned and said solemnly, ”We have explosives beside us that can blast away huge boulders. We are just afraid that if we do, it will cause a collapse or damage to the people inside.”
”Is there any place to drill?” Xiaowan immediately asked, she had experience drilling once just now.
”The hole is too small, we can't get through.” The soldiers were all tall and mighty men. A mortal's body could not be compared to Little Pei's Immortal body.
”Sister-in-law, we can do it.” Hanxi laid at the entrance of the cave and looked around. It was pitch black inside, and she couldn't see anything. She stretched out her hand to feel inside, and felt that the space inside could fit their bodies.
Hanxi immediately put down the thing on her back and went into the hole without saying a word. Everyone looked at him fearfully, and just as Hanxi went in, the valley shook again and the hole shrank.
Almost an instant later, Hanxi would be stuck inside, and right now, even if it was the Xiaowan s, they would not be able to pass.
Her heart was beating extremely fast as she took the bags of water and the food from the small hole. Ling Chaofeng shouted from the other side, ”Miss Bi, if you find the people inside, bring them to a safe place and stay a bit further away from this rock. We might blow it up in the end.”
”I know.” Hanxi promised.
”Hanxi, you must be careful...” The Xiaowan was extremely worried.
Hanxi trembled as she ignited her torch, lighting up her surroundings. She carried the water and food on her back, and walked step by step towards the deeper parts of the cave.
The depths of the valley were especially cold. It was like a natural ice cave. Even though he was holding a torch, it was not enough to keep him warm.
