Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Cultivating While Raising a Child

Chapter 221 223 Underground Lake
Cui Lie had known for a long time that Rong Xianxian was carrying space equipment with him, and he was traveling with Rong Xianxian. He didn't bring anything except his own weapon.

But Cui Lie was still a little surprised when he saw the downhill rope that Rong Xianxian took out.

"Sister Rong, you even have a downhill rope!"

"Isn't this a must-have item for survival in the wild? It can be used for rock climbing, rappelling, or crossing ditches." Rong Xianxian said in a natural tone.

Cui Lie thought in his heart, the words are true, if I carry a backpack, the rope is also a must, but after all, you have been living in a city greenhouse, how can you have the experience of surviving in the wild? Professional, but smooth.

The two of them made preparations and began to descend quickly. They said it was a rapid descent, but in fact they couldn't get up quickly, because some places in the rock cracks were very narrow.

"What do you think is usually down there?" Rong Xianxian asked Cui Lie in a low voice while holding a flashlight to shine down.

"It depends on the depth. If it's deep enough, it's usually an underground river or a small underground lake," Cui Lie said.

"If there is really an ice crystal tree here, it should grow near a water source." Rong Xianxian guessed.

When Rong Xianxian and the others descended about ten meters, they hadn't reached the bottom yet. The rock wall here was very narrow, and there were sharp protrusions on both sides of the rock wall. area.

"Crack, click." There was a rustling sound above the head, faintly present, sometimes near and sometimes far away.

"What sound?" Rong Xianxian listened carefully.

"I didn't hear anything!" Cui Lie said suspiciously.

Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie are currently stuck in the most precipitous place of the rock wall. The material of the two rock walls is unknown, and the protruding stones are hard and sharp, as if the two sides are surrounded by irregular nail boards.

"Mom, I heard the sound of wailing, it's right below." Xuanxuan lifted the lid of the small back basket and said.

Rong Xianxian came back to her senses, let go of the doubts in her heart, asked Xuanxuan to close the lid of the small back basket, and continued down with Cui Lie.

Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie passed through the narrow area, the space below suddenly opened up, the rock walls on both sides became smoother and steeper, and the distance between the two rock walls became wider and wider, Rong Xianxian took a strong flashlight Looking down, I found that the five-meter-long crack with an average width of about centimeters turned into a dark abyss of unknown depth.

Originally, although the two of them were tied with downhill ropes, their feet still stepped on the rock wall and walked down bit by bit. Now, the rock wall is wet and slippery, and their feet have nowhere to use their strength. The two of them are hanging in the air. At this moment, Rong Xianxian thought of the rustling sound he heard just now, and his heart tightened. At this moment, Rong Xianxian only felt his body trembling. Crooked, she grabbed Cui Lie's arm next to her.

"What's wrong?" Cui Lie felt Rong Xianxian's nervousness, and couldn't help raising his heart.

"Rope, something is wrong with the rope." Rong Xianxian felt that the rope seemed to be bitten in half by something.

"Ah!" Before Cui Lie had time to speak, Rong Xianxian let out a short exclamation, lightened her body, and fell rapidly.

Cui Lie grabbed Rong Xianxian's wrist tightly with his backhand, and pulled her hard, "Sister Rong, hold me tight."

Rong Xianxian used the other hand to tightly cover the small back basket in her arms. Looking at the broken rope, Rong Xianxian felt uneasy. With Cui Lie's arm strength, it was not difficult to catch her, but since her rope was broken Well, Cui Lie's one is not safe either.

"Bang" Cui Lie tilted his body, followed by Rong Xianxian, and sure enough, the rope was about to break.

Rong Xianxian gritted her teeth, she untied Xuanxuan's pannier on her chest, and sent her towards Cui Lie, "A Lie, catch Xuanxuan."

Cui Lie protected Xiao Luo in his arms with one hand, and caught Xuanxuan with the other. Rong Xianxian's action just now accelerated the speed of the rope breaking. In order to reduce the weight of the rope, Rong Xianxian let go of Cui Lie's hand.

There was the sound of hula-la wind coming from my ears, and Rong Xianxian fell rapidly like a kite with a broken string.

"Mom." Xuanxuan's cry echoed in the space under the crack with a tearing sound.

Rong Xianxian used the moves in "The Way of the Wind" to buffer the falling trend, while calmly taking out the black beads from the sachet space to communicate the aura in the body, fumbling to turn on the switch, the black beads bounced off with a "bang", forming a Changing the flying carpet, Rong Xianxian controlled the flying carpet to suspend in mid-air.

"Ah" Xuanxuan screamed, and saw that the rope used by Cui Lie also broke, Cui Lie, Xiao Luo and Xuanxuan fell down together, Rong Xianxian adjusted the flying carpet to the maximum mode, and flew over to catch it took them.

Cui Lie tightly clutched the small pannier in his arms with one hand, and hugged Xuanxuan with the other arm. The little pannier that Xuanxuan was staying just now had been thrown away. Xiao Luo carefully placed the little panty in front of Cui Lie Stretch your head out of the basket.

"Sister, are you alright?" Xiao Luo asked worriedly when she heard Xuanxuan's scream just now.

Aoao flew over from nowhere, and was circling around Xuanxuan at the moment.

Xuanxuan clutched her chest, her face was still a little pale, her eye circles were red, and her long eyelashes were covered with two crystal clear teardrops, she arched her head into Rong Xianxian's arms, and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm fine. "

The crisp chirping of the "chirp" bird echoed in the cracked space.

"Sister Rong, are you okay?" Cui Lie keenly noticed that Rong Xianxian's face turned pale.

"It's okay, don't worry." Rong Xianxian has been holding her heart in her throat since she fell freely, until she calmly adjusted the flying carpet and accurately caught the three of them, her heart just returned to her stomach, At the moment, it is jumping non-stop.

Even though she had practiced using the flying carpet countless times before, Rong Xianxian couldn't help being nervous, after all, it was related to the personal safety of the two children.

From the time when the downhill rope broke and they fell freely, to Rong Xianxian catching everyone with the flying carpet, only a few seconds passed, but they had already fallen a long distance.

Rong Xianxian took out a bright flashlight and scanned around. Below is a glistening underground lake, surrounded by slippery and sticky rock walls with green moss growing on it.

If there were no flying carpets, the group of them would have plunged into the lake right now.

As they descended, they had gradually adapted to the faint light in the crack, and Rong Xianxian carefully looked at the space from front to back, left, right, left, and right.

This space is in the shape of an irregular cone. The underground lake is the bottom of the cone. It becomes narrower as it goes up. The water in the lake is clear and deep, and the water surface is calm. There are only very smooth stone walls eroded by the water flow around the lake, and there are no ice crystal trees at all. .
