Chapter 62 Crossing Quicksand
Chapter 62: Crossing the Quicksand But this is the only way now.
Yuyan asked them to look up there to see if there was anything useful, while she used a flashlight to observe the surroundings.
The sand under my feet is so soft that you will sink into it a little if you step on it.
There are mountain walls all around, and Yuyan can climb over by holding on to the mountain walls.
Looking up, there was a large black thing that looked like a ball of flesh on top of the head.
It was pitch black and looked like it was covered with black hair.
There are also green things around.
The green thing was clinging to the mountain, with a ferocious face and sharp claws.
Yuyan thought to herself that this was not good and didn't dare to speak loudly for fear of disturbing these things.
He could only whisper to Zhang Qishan to pull him up.
After going up, Yuyan told Zhang Qishan everything she had discovered.
Recalling the information he had read before about the Zhang family ancient building, Zhang Qishan expressed his guess.
"That big black ball of flesh you see is probably the ancestor of Miluotuo, and the green one is Miluotuo."
Yuyan nodded and asked quickly, "Then is there any way to kill them?"
Zhang Qishan shook his head and knocked on Yuyan's head when he saw her disappointed look.
"Don't be so murderous!"
After saying that, he took off his coat and made a small torch with the piece of wood that Yuyan had just hit him.
It was really small, and Yuyan even wondered if this small torch would burn Zhang Qishan's hand.
You said, with Yuyan around, could Zhang Qishan suffer like this?
Yuyan immediately lay down on the cliff and started climbing.
When Zhang Qishan saw that she was heading in the wrong direction, he had a bad guess in his mind.
"Uncle, wait a minute, I'll get you a long one!"
Sure enough, Yuyan climbed into the ancient tower again.
I don’t know if it’s because of the illusion, but Zhang Qishan always feels that the tower is shaking.
Looking at Yuyan carrying a large pile of wood down, Zhang Qishan didn't know what to say.
Are they really going to demolish the ancient tower?
Zhang Qishan kept repeating to himself that Erya was kind-hearted, and that was why he resisted the urge to slap her on the head.
But Yuyan was unfazed and asked proudly, "Is it enough? If not, I'll keep taking! It's okay, it's just a piece of cake!"
Zhang Qishan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the crisp and loud slap echoed throughout the space.
Zhang Qishan picked up some wooden sticks on the ground and said as he walked, "It's okay, it's just a simple thing."
Yuyan shrugged and said, "It doesn't hurt, so let him hit you."
Over there, Zhang Qishan had made a new torch, but he didn't pour alcohol into it, so it wouldn't burn for long.
Yuyan raised her hand confidently.
"It's okay, I have it!"
The Zhang family members nearby were a little surprised.
"Why did you bring both candy and wine?"
Yuyan pondered for a moment and patted his shoulder: "Maybe it's because I was well-educated."
The Zhang family members who were photographed scratched their heads. What does this have to do with good family education?
The complete version of the torch has been made, and all that’s left is to light it with a tinder.
Each person held a torch and a long stick.
The torch is used to drive away the Miluoto, and the long stick is used to see where the quicksand is.
In this way, they entered the cave one by one.
The torches dispelled the darkness, and Miluoto dared only to stir around.
It seems that there is no danger around as imagined.
But as they approached a stone cylindrical building, the sand beneath their feet felt strange.
It was like I had suddenly stepped on a mechanism and felt water under my feet.
There was a lot of water, and the sand absorbed it instantly, reaching saturation and forming quicksand.
The sudden quicksand caught people off guard. Some people ran quickly, trying to reach the edge of the cylindrical building before the quicksand trapped them.
But doing so will only get you deeper into trouble.
Zhang Qishan shouted, "Calm down, don't struggle violently, and try to increase the contact area between you and the quicksand."
Yuyan had a certain psychological foundation for this sudden event, so she was not panicked at all when she encountered it.
Without struggle, the sand on the upper layer would not fall to the lower layer.
Therefore, Yuyan is the least depressed among all of them.
Taking a deep breath, Yuyan slowly lay down on the quicksand.
Gently move your feet to squeeze as much water and sand as possible out of the area.
Relieve the pressure on her body in the quicksand and make the sand loose
Yuyan tried her best to spread her limbs apart and lay her body flat. This would further increase the contact area between her body and the sand, and the buoyancy she would get in the sand would be greater.
Finally, try slow rolling or crawling.
Yuyan chose to first cling to the mountain wall that was closer to her, and little by little used the strength of her arms to pull herself out of the quicksand.
Most of the torches fell into the quicksand in the panic, and the visibility in the passage was suddenly reduced.
The Miluotu around him could no longer hold back.
Yuyan climbed up the mountain wall and found the right moment to jump onto the platform of the cylindrical building.
Then try to rescue others.
After seeing Yuyan's self-rescue at the teaching and scientific level, they followed suit and slowly moved towards Yuyan.
But those who had panicked and struggled at the beginning had already had most of their bodies sunk into the quicksand and could not be rescued.
Yuyan’s top priority was to pull the people around her up.
By the time these people were pulled up, they had long disappeared.
Yuyan sat on the ground somewhat exhausted, looking up at the team which had not even half the number of people as when she came in, feeling dazed.
Zhang Qishan was also very sad for losing so many of his tribesmen, but he still squatted down and hugged Yuyan on the ground.
"Arya has done very well."
The survivors also squatted down and comforted Yuyan.
The light of the torch went out at this time, and Miluo finally took action.
In the darkness, a sound of breaking air was heard, and a sticky juice sprayed out.
"Come on!"
Yuyan held a dagger, and in front of her was the chopped-off Miluotuo who had attacked them.
The few survivors also retreated while waving their daggers.
Fortunately, Miluo's sneak attack did not hurt anyone.
Everyone retreated safely into the cylindrical building and looked at the upward stairs, realizing that this might be the last level.
Yuyan wiped the dagger stained with green juice, held it in front of her, and went ahead to explore the way.
The rest of the people protected Yuyan's back in the same posture.
Pushing open the stone door, the towering and majestic ancient building comes into view.
There was nothing around, it was eerily quiet.
But this did not make everyone relax their vigilance. Instead, they even became more careful with their breathing.
Gently push the door open, and a large amount of white powder pours out.
Fortunately, it was Yuyan who opened the door and reacted quickly.
If it were someone else, they might be covered in this white powder.
The white powder hit the ground, scattered and floated in the air.
Yuyan covered her nose and took a few steps back, but still felt a burning sensation in her nasal cavity.
