0713: You who shine in the parallel world

Chapter 309 5, Oh no, I have to mention the events of 6 years ago

The environment of the second cave looks even more gloomy than the main cave. Since the number of visitors is not as many as that of the main cave, the terrain is more complicated than that of the main cave, and there are more cave entrances connected to each other inside, the stone road inside the cave is not as flat as that of the main cave.

The sharp sound of bats came from somewhere in the cave. When he looked in the direction of the sound, he could only see darkness. It was obvious that this cave was deeper than the main cave, so even with a camping lamp, Zhang Yuan did not feel any sense of security.

Facing this eerie second cave, filled with who knows how many bats, Zhang Yuan, always the best back-out artist in front of a haunted house, paused for a moment and said seriously to Lu Hu, "I think we should search the main cave first."

"After all, we don't know how many totems they placed down there." Land Rover analyzed with deep conviction.

"Yeah, that's right, so we should find as many totems as possible first, and then go up there to see how much difference there is."

"You are so smart and wise, Yuanyuan."

"No, no, you're not bad either, Huzi."

The brothers stood at the entrance of the cave and watched them acting. They were obviously scared to death, but they still said that they were analyzing the situation in an orderly manner with the overall goal of finding the totem as the most important thing. I don't know who thought that when Wang Zhengliang suggested coming up to take a look ten minutes ago, he thought there was light in the second cave and agreed quickly.

"Okay then, you two go down and search, and we'll split up to improve efficiency." Su Xing deliberately teased Zhang Yuan and Lu Hu.

The two people who had been pretending to be righteous immediately became cowardly.

"You're ruining the fact that we're a team by saying those discouraging words about breaking up." Land Rover whispered.

"No, if we have to divide into groups, then you have to do this and that." Zhang Yuan mumbled, but his hands moved decisively, pulling Su Xing to his side.

The meaning is very clear. If we have to form groups, you, Su Tanji, must be in the same team with him.

It made sense. Of the seven of them, only Su Xing and Yu Yu could truly be considered ironclad. They were the only two who could leisurely stroll through the haunted house, playing tricks and amusing the NPC teachers. The second tier consisted of Chen Fusheng and Wang Yuexin, one steady and the other reckless. The remaining three...

It's mainly the atmosphere group. Whether it's a horror chamber or a gloomy cave, Pavarotti is always needed to set the mood.

Su Xing knew Zhang Yuan was truly afraid of this kind of environment, so he started to discuss with the others, "How about this? We'll go to one cave, one above and one below. Yu Shao, you and I will each lead a group of people. I'll take Yuanyuan and Hu Zi to the main cave below. The main cave is at least brighter. Brother Sheng, will you go with Yu Shao?"

Chen Fusheng nodded: "Okay."

"It doesn't matter to me where I go." Yu Yu shrugged. These two caves were still above ground, so they wouldn't pose any difficulty for him. He looked at Wang Zhengliang again, "Brother Liang, what about you? Why don't you go to the main cave with Allen? This cave looks even deeper than the one below, and the light isn't as bright. I guess you can't even see your hand in front of you at the deepest part."

Wang Zhengliang said, "It's okay. I have a flashlight and my phone to illuminate. There's plenty of space inside, so it's okay."

He probably didn't want Su Xing to be too tired. After all, in their bird-tiger state, the two of them would probably turn into chicks and follow Su Xing, the old hen, closely.

"Then I'll stay and explore the second cave too." Wang Yuexin said.

"That's great. You two little ones, take good care of the two old guys." Su Xing said, and suddenly smiled cunningly, "I'll take the two young ones with me, so when the time comes, it won't be me who needs to climb or do the hard work."

"But with your team's eyesight, you might not be able to find the second totem at all." Wang Yuexin curled her lips.

"How is that possible? Our team has Lucky Boy and the eldest son of the variety show."

Zhang Yuan and Lu Hu puffed out their chests with pride.

"Then would you like to take a look at my team? Teacher Sai, Wang Erchun, and Chen Fusheng!"

...Suddenly I'm not so proud anymore.

Su Xing looked at the bird-tiger on his side, then looked at the opposite side, and realized belatedly that Chen Fusheng was in a different team from him again.

Those events that happened fifteen, oh no, sixteen years ago still need to be mentioned.

"I don't believe in finding a totem as a random event. I can't compare to you, Chen Fusheng!"

If the program team's totem distribution is reasonable, theoretically they can determine the winner, because the number of totems is an odd number, but now they have no idea how many totems are in the two caves, so they can only see who is luckier and whose cave has more totems.

Su Xing's words have now become a joke for him to tease Chen Fusheng. Anyway, none of his brothers take it seriously, but it is more exciting to compete in finding things. What's more, their bet is that whoever wins can stay in a single room tonight.

Yu Yu was sure that the temptation of a single room was enough to make Su Xing fight for his life.

The four of them didn't care who they lived with or how many people they lived with, but if they found more totems, at least they could have more delicious food to eat in the evening.

The terrain inside the second cave is complex and there are several inner caves interspersed. Of course, those inner caves are not dead ends, but interconnected living paths.

Yu Yu and the other three soon found their first totem in one of the inner caves.

It is still the enchanting stone cat, holding a stone plaque. One side depicts inner caves of varying sizes, while the other side lists the total number of inner caves in the Emperor Cave and how these inner caves were formed.

The four of them were very happy after the good start. Wang Zhengliang raised the flashlight and prepared to go inside without saying a word.

Yu Yu came to his side, glanced ahead, and suddenly said to him: "Brother Liang, do you know what it feels like to be hit in the face by a bat?"

"?"

"If you walk in with such a bright flashlight, you'll find out as you go. If nothing unexpected happens, the bats in this cave all live at the bottom. The cave we're in now extends to the innermost part."

"!"

Brother Xiaoliang was so scared that he almost threw the flashlight, which was his lifeblood, into Yu Yu's arms.

Chen Fusheng also looked ahead. Indeed, as they went deeper into the cave, the sounds of bats became more and more obvious. So the question arose - "Since this road leads to the bat cave, do you think they put the totem in the bat cave?"

"Brother Sheng, if you say so, then it will definitely happen. Those people in the director team have bad intentions." Wang Yuexin frowned and commented sharply. He was not afraid of swarms of bats, but bats... have a lot of viruses, right?

"Don't worry, bats generally won't attack humans at will. They're also afraid of humans," Yu Yu explained. "Besides, it's daytime now, which is their sleeping time. As long as you don't provoke them, they'll just hang upside down on the cave ceiling."

"And the excitement here specifically refers to startling sounds, attacks with stones or sticks, and sudden bright lights."

"We can't go in without turning on the lights, right?" Wang Zhengliang was a little embarrassed.

"You can use the light from your mobile phone. The light from a mobile phone is not strong, and the illuminated area is small, so you have to pay attention to your feet." Yu Yu said. If he was alone, he would just go up without saying a word.

But he was with his three brothers now, and Yu Yu was still a little worried about them: "Yuexin, you and Brother Sheng and Brother Liang search horizontally together, I'll go to the bat cave to take a look. I'm familiar with their habits, so it's no problem."

Wang Yuexin was about to say she wanted to go with Yu Yu, but he stopped her at that last word. Under these circumstances, Yu Yu would never let Wang Zhengliang put down his flashlight, so the safest option was to let him farm on his own while the three of them huddled together for support.

"Okay, I'll be able to sweep the area quickly." Wang Yuexin nodded.

"If a person has difficulty moving, just give up and come back quickly." Chen Fusheng also gave an instruction. Compared with Yu Yu's safety, the totem is not important at all.

Wang Zhengliang knew that as long as it didn't involve issues of principle, Yu Yu was a casual person who would not argue easily and would not insist on getting the totem, so he just asked Yu Yu to be careful and go back quickly.

Yu Yu made an OK gesture, holding up his phone and gradually walked away in the darkness, leaving only a blurry shadow.

Wang Yuexin took good care of the two older brothers. After watching Yu Yu leave, he picked up his bag, turned on the flashlight on his phone, and shone it to the left: "I remember there is a passage over there. Let's go over there and take a look."

The direction indicated by the flashlight was still dimly lit, so there must be a small skylight ahead.

Yu Yu walked forward with the help of the light from his mobile phone. The further he went in, the bumpier the ground became. The stone roads maintained by the scenic spot were not built to such a deep place at all, so there were some original stones and mud roads here, which were still a bit damp and slippery to walk on. However, he walked very steadily.

Having walked many such roads, he has become proficient in controlling his body's center of gravity and finding the fulcrum under his feet.

Although Yu Yu acted alone, he was not alone. There was a cameraman following him. Of course, the program crew could not use only the GoPro on them to record all the shots in the cave. They also had several cameramen following them into the cave.

Originally, the four of them had three videographers accompanying them. After Yu Yu went solo, he assigned one to follow him and record in night vision mode. Yu Yu knew it would be difficult for him to carry such heavy equipment in the dark and slippery conditions, so he kept an eye on him and asked him to follow where he had gone.

It wasn't long before they arrived at the bats' home in the deepest part. The occasional screams and sounds of bat wings flapping overhead were amplified by the empty cave, as if passing by their ears.

Yu Yu lowered the light of the mobile phone in his hand very low, shining only on the ground, allowing that little bit of light to spread to the surrounding darkness like ink dropped into water. Occasionally, one or two fleeting black shadows could be seen in the blurred boundary.

They didn't know how many bats were hiding in the cave, but Yu Yu still had the leisure to turn around and ask the camera teacher with a smile if he was scared. If he was scared, he should look down at the ground.

"Don't worry, we won't be here long. Just stand here. I'll be done soon. I've already seen the totem. Hey, I didn't expect you to actually place a totem here. If Hu Zi follows us from afar, he'll be scared to death."

Yu Yu joked that in such a dark environment, his comforting smile to the camera teacher was like the warm sun that could dispel any darkness, making people forget their tension and fear in an instant.
