The water in the underground river gradually reached their waists. The water resistance increased, and the cold quickly took away their body temperature, causing the crowd’s reactions to slow down.
Everyone’s breath turned into white mist. Song Qing’s eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with a light blue Frost, and the others were even more so.
As the number of bones under their feet increased, one after another, the escapees fell into the water and were stepped on by the people behind them, unable to get up.
Song qingxiao noticed that in less than an hour, there were not many deaths when they passed through the snake cave, but when they crossed the underground river, perhaps one-fifth of the number had been lost.
The originally densely packed long Dragons had clearly shortened by a section.
The further they went, the more they seemed to have entered a cave. The water level rose, but the top of the cave was extremely low. Song Qing could touch the wet top with a small raise of his hand.
The two sides of the river also became narrower, allowing only a few people to pass side by side.
“We can’t continue like this.” Number one said with a trembling voice. The river water had already reached his chest, making it difficult for him to even speak.
His voice reverberated in the cave, sounding a little depressed.
“I’m afraid the water cap will be reached if we keep going forward.”
The cramped space and the large number of people made the air in the underground cave not sufficient. The lack of oxygen made number one feel suffocated, and he gasped for breath as he spoke.
The rising River forced the short and thin number five to transform to avoid being drowned. However, it also brought him trouble after transforming. The extremely low ceiling of the cave forced him to lower his body to move forward, which made it difficult for him to take every step.
Song qingxiao knew that the situation was critical. She looked forward and saw the water in the distance shining on the top of the cave. She couldn’t see the exit at all.
However, at this point, there was no way out except to bite the bullet and move forward.
“I won’t,” Song qingxiao said coldly. She didn’t say much, but her tone was firm, as if she was giving number one and number five a shot in the arm,”
“We met escapees in the bloody tunnel and were brought back to the terrorist camp by them. Since the escapees can escape, this path won’t be sealed!”
Her words did make sense, and the uneasy number one calmed down again.
The panting of the escapees grew louder and louder. The harsh environment and the gradually thinning air made everyone’s footsteps heavy, and everyone’s panting grew louder and louder.
Fortunately, after walking for a few hundred meters, the water level that reached their shoulders did not rise any further. Instead, it began to fall as they moved forward.
It was very likely that they had crossed the underground river and passed another life-and-death trial!
A glimmer of hope rose in number one’s despairing heart. As they moved forward, the water level fell even lower. With every step, the water receded, and it did not take long for the water to reach their knees.
After the water level receded, everyone’s pressure suddenly reduced. After moving forward for a few meters, the space on both sides seemed to have become wide, as if they were almost at the shore.
Everyone’s spirits were lifted, and they involuntarily ran a few steps forward. The water only reached the back of their feet, and a light breeze with a foul smell blew over. Number one, who had almost suffocated earlier, could not even care about the smell. He opened his mouth and greedily inhaled a few mouthfuls, looking as if he was trying to escape from death.
“I’m finally alive.”
Everyone climbed ashore one after another. No. 1 sighed as he couldn’t help but wring his clothes that were still dripping with water. The sound of water splashing on the sand spread throughout the cave, making a very loud noise.
After crossing the underground river with great difficulty, everyone’s tense nerves relaxed a little. Number five, who had been hunched the whole time, also returned to his original figure at this time.
The surroundings were quiet, and the sound of water droplets dripping from their bodies was even more distinct.
Song Qing looked around and bent down to take off her shoes to pour some water.
The fugitives dragged their feet forward, the sound of water and footsteps echoing.
It seemed to be a very wide cave, about 1.7 meters high. When she stood, her hair just happened to brush against the top of the cave, making a ‘rustle’ sound.
After the refugees arrived, the originally wide cave became slightly crowded. There were countless round holes of various sizes around the cave. Some were large enough for one person to pass through, while some were the size of a bowl. This made the entire cave look like a honeycomb that had been cut open..
