Let's keep the chapter count low after chapter 135.
However, as soon as Su Huaiqi finished shouting, the shaking in the cave stopped.
Su Huaiqi: It's pretty awkward.
Although the tremors had subsided, the group did not dare to linger in the passageway and quickly moved forward.
As Chen Kangnian walked, he turned to Su Huaiqi and asked, "Miss Su, did you mean the earthquake you just shouted was a sign of the earth dragon turning over?"
"... "
In his haste, Su Huaiqi blurted out that earthquakes in ancient times were not called earthquakes, but rather something like "earth dragon turning over."
There are no earth dragons at all; it's clearly caused by the compression and movement between tectonic plates. Suddenly, I realize that understanding science is quite useful.
Although he couldn't help but complain in his heart, he still nodded obediently on the surface.
"The shaking just now didn't last long and wasn't too strong. Also, I vaguely heard a loud bang, so I don't think it was an earthquake." Xuan Zhang, who was walking ahead of Chen Kangnian, spoke up about his discovery.
"I heard it too, and I think I just smelled sulfur." As a doctor, Lin Feiran has a very keen sense of smell, and he wouldn't speak carelessly unless he was absolutely certain.
"Sulfur?" Su Huaiqi sniffed curiously upon hearing this, and it did seem to have a slightly burnt, foul smell. Just as she was about to sniff it again, there was another loud bang.
"boom!"
Then, another noticeable shaking was heard in the passageway.
"Run! Someone is blasting the mountain!"
Everyone's expression changed, and they immediately switched from walking to running. More and more rocks were falling from above, and Su Huaiqi put his hands up to protect his head, but was cut by the sharp rocks falling from above.
But she didn't have time to check her wounds and could only run wildly with the others.
Finally, they rushed out of the narrow passage and came to a relatively spacious cave, and the tremors disappeared again.
Su Huaiqi rested his hands on his knees, panting heavily. Only after his breathing became even did he raise his head to observe the scene around him.
To everyone's surprise, the people around had already dispersed, some talking and some deep in thought.
Su Huaiqi felt a bit tired. It was surprising that her physical condition, despite being a young person, couldn't keep up with Uncle Chen and the other seniors. If it were her old body, she could easily run five or ten thousand kilometers, let alone just these few steps.
I'm so upset.
"Are you tired? Do you want some water?" Yu Zechuan asked with concern after seeing that Su Huaiqi seemed to be feeling better.
"I'm not tired, it's just that I haven't run in a long time, and suddenly running like this is a bit... Ouch." Su Huaiqi casually raised her hand and waved it, but accidentally touched the wound on her arm, and immediately gasped in pain.
"What's wrong?" Yu Zechuan also heard Su Huaiqi gasp for breath and immediately stepped forward with concern, supporting her shoulders as he asked.
Su Huaiqi frowned slightly and pulled open the sleeve on his right arm, revealing a bloody, exposed wound before their eyes.
"I think I was scratched by falling rocks just now." Su Huaiqi's voice grew softer and softer. She looked at Yu Zechuan's gloomy face and felt a little guilty for some reason.
Yu Zechuan frowned. The wound on Su Huaiqi's forearm was deep, and the speed at which the blood seeped out made his heart tighten. He immediately took out a white porcelain bottle from his pocket and carefully treated Su Huaiqi's wound.
Su Huaiqi bit her lip, trying to endure the pain, while secretly observing Yu Zechuan's expression. She said uncertainly, "Thank you for your help. Although it hurts a little, I'm really fine."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zechuan ignored Su Huaiqi and continued to focus on treating the wound, his movements skillful and gentle. Su Huaiqi looked at Yu Zechuan gratefully, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
But Yu Zechuan's lack of response made Su Huaiqi a little uneasy.
I hope I won't make anyone angry.
She didn't want to get hurt, but who would have thought she'd be so unlucky as to get scratched by a falling stone.
After the wound was treated, Yu Zechuan finally raised his head. But when his eyes met Su Huaiqi's, he noticed that Su Huaiqi's bright eyes were full of ingratiating intent.
He gave a slightly helpless smile, gently patted Su Huaiqi's shoulder, and signaled her not to worry.
"Be more careful next time. Remember to have Senior Lin take a look after we get out, so there won't be any scars."
"Okay, okay, okay, I got it." Su Huaiqi nodded rapidly, making a solemn promise.
After the minor incident of injury, Su Huaiqi finally had time to observe their current location.
Calling it a cave isn't quite accurate. Su Huaiqi looked up at the blue sky peeking out above him; it seemed more like an open-air mine.
However, being in the open has its advantages; if there is another explosion later, one should not be scratched by falling rocks overhead.
As Su Huaiqi was thinking this, she heard Mu Qing express the same opinion as her.
"I never imagined there was such a place in the mountains. If there is another explosion, we can still leave from the top."
No sooner had Mu Qing finished speaking than another series of explosions rang out from not far away.
Xuan Zhang raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Qing with some amusement. "Qing, your jinx is too accurate. You should talk less in the future."
"Hmph, I'd like to see who's causing trouble outside." Mu Qing didn't expect the explosion to be so "cooperative" with him. Using the force of the rock wall, he leaped up and flew towards the open area using his lightness skill.
"Hey, Qing..." Chen Kangnian watched Mu Qing's departing figure and hurriedly called out to stop her. But Mu Qing seemed not to hear him and simply flipped over from the top.
Lin Feiran guessed Mu Qing's thoughts directly. After giving Chen Kangnian a reassuring look, she also used her lightness skill to chase after Mu Qing.
"Don't worry, Aqing knows what she's doing, and besides, Feiran is here, so everything will be fine," Xuanzhang patted Chen Kangnian's shoulder and whispered to comfort him.
Su Huaiqi, standing to the side, looked up as Mu Qing and Lin Feiran, the two seniors, disappeared from her sight. She then made a quick estimate of the height from the top of the cave to the ground, her heart already pounding with excitement.
My God, is this the legendary light-footed skill?!
This is even more impressive than a helicopter!
Indeed, the phrase "light as a swallow" has a basis in reality.
When will she be able to possess such amazing lightness skills? Then she'll be able to fly over rooftops and move freely without any problem.
Yu Zechuan looked at Su Huaiqi's envious expression and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Gongsun Rang's call from not far away.
"Xuanzhang, Kangnian, come and see quickly."
The group quickly walked to Gongsun Rang's side. Gongsun Rang was squatting in front of a wall, which was mostly covered by withered branches and leaves. After the covering was removed, a section of chain nailed to the wall was revealed.
One end of the dark chain was nailed to the wall, while the other end stretched out to who knows where.
"How could there be chains in a cave?" Su Huaiqi asked, finding it a bit strange.
"Tear it open and you'll see."
After obtaining Chen Kangnian's consent, Bai Heming and Li Hengzhi reached out and picked up the iron chain. The chain had been buried in thick soil, but as Bai Heming and Li Hengzhi moved forward, they pulled the chain out of the soil.
The group followed behind Li Bai and his companion. After walking a short distance, the two stopped because the chain had reached its end.
The end of the chain was a very ordinary place, no different from anything else except for the chain nailed to the ground.
Is it just an ordinary iron chain?
Su Huaiqi couldn't help but mutter to herself, but when she looked at the silent crowd around her, she was too embarrassed to ask such a silly question.
"Let's look around some more and see if we find anything else." Chen Kangnian knew that looking any further would be a waste of time, so he simply waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse and continue the search.
With Gongsun Rang's discovery, everyone began to pay attention to the differences in the low walls. Before long, almost everyone found a chain. After pulling all the chains out of the soil, all the chains pointed to the same place.
Su Huaiqi looked at the radiating chains on the ground, turned to Yu Zechuan and said, "Although their endpoints are not together, if you connect them, they form a circle."
“Miss Su is right. There are a total of 8 iron chains, and the positions and directions of these chains correspond exactly to the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) symbol. The key is very likely hidden in the middle.” Gongsun Rang glanced around and said with great agreement.
After listening to Gongsun Rang's explanation, Su Huaiqi was surprised that this simple iron chain was actually related to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. It seems that the ancients attached great importance to things like Yin and Yang and Feng Shui.
She blinked, looking at Gongsun Rang with some uncertainty, "Senior Gongsun, can we go and investigate the middle location now?"
"Well, be careful."
Su Huaiqi nodded, and after taking a few steps along the iron chain, he heard Mu Qing's anxious shout from above:
"Get out of the way!"
"Everyone, get out of the cave entrance immediately..."
Before Mu Qing could finish speaking, his voice was drowned out by the explosion at the cave entrance.
The deafening explosion instantly assaulted everyone's eardrums. Su Huaiqi instinctively closed her eyes, covered her head, and tried to crouch down, but unexpectedly felt a warm embrace and heard Yu Zechuan's voice before losing consciousness.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
