Chapter 473 -473: Only Safe When Burrowed into the Hole
“Then, if that’s the case, don’t all of us fall into a dire situation? Also, if such a problem were to envelop us, how long might it take?”
“If we were to fill this entire jungle, I estimate, about an hour should be enough, but if it really does fill up, then waiting for it to dissipate, at the very least, will take about three days before it completely clears away.”
“What, what did you say? Around three days? If we really encounter this inside the forest, doesn’t it mean we’ll never be able to get out in these three days?”
“Correct, we truly won’t be able to exit, and moreover, this fog consumes oxygen. Eventually, it will produce a large amount of carbon dioxide, meaning we won’t even be able to ensure our breathing.”
“Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry and run away from this place, or, otherwise, shall we go back?”
“I just estimated a while ago, it should be about 20 minutes since we entered, and we have absolutely no sense of direction anymore.”
“Does that mean, we can only keep moving ahead, and then, go through here?”
“Correct, this is the only way out. If we go through here, perhaps, we might still have a sliver of a chance, so the way back is definitely not an option.”
“Then let’s not wait anymore, hurry up and go in this direction, besides, isn’t this the den of that thing?”
“We surmised as much before, but forget it, we can’t worry about that now, we need to hurry and keep moving forward, we can only take it one step at a time.”
The hunter was now also beginning to panic.
He remembered that in the past few years when he ventured into the mountains, he had never encountered such danger, but now, it seemed these things were becoming more trivialized.
Their pace began to quicken, and every few steps, Lin Yi would look back vigilantly.
He didn’t know whether the fog would keep following him, and if it did, how much longer could they last?
He just felt that the speed of the fog seemed to be increasing, even beginning to surpass their own.
“Quick, look over there, is that the place?”
At that moment, the hunter seemed to suddenly spot a downward tunnel entrance in front of him.
Moreover, the entrance appeared quite large. If one were to pass through here, they should be able to find a hiding spot.
A few people quickly walked up to it and observed the area.
The ground was covered with footprints everywhere, clearly indicating that more than one snub-nosed monkey had been here.
“That’s right, this must be the place. Inside here is definitely their den.”
“Then let’s not waste time, let’s just crawl in, right?”
“What, what did you say? Crawl inside?”
Hearing this, Ling’er’s eyes widened in astonishment.
“That’s right, we have to crawl in, and considering the current situation, haven’t you seen it? The rate at which the mist is dispersing has become faster. Even if they chase us, by the time we can’t escape, they would have completely devoured us.”
“But if we do so eagerly, won’t we be entering their territory? What if they attack us proactively, then what shall we do?”
“We can’t worry about that now. Right now, going forward is death, but heading inside we might still have a fighting chance. Besides, if we don’t show too much hostility, perhaps just staying at the edge, maybe they really won’t attack us first. Isn’t that what you said?”
At this, the hunter looked at Ling’er.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
Yes, Ling’er had indeed said this, but everything was deduced from what was recorded in books.
No one could guarantee whether their nature had changed after living here for such a long time.
“We can’t wait any longer, if we do, we’ll even lose our way to this entrance. I can’t, I must go in first.”
The hunter said, and without further discussion, was the first to crawl into the tunnel.
Lin Yi was really troubled. He didn’t know if the path ahead was one of life or death.
Thus, all he could do was grit his teeth and leave everything to fate.
“Forget it, I can’t worry about that now. I’ll go in first, and once we’re inside, we’ll figure out what to do next.”
He was the second to dive in.
As for Hei Lang, there was no need to say more. Since his brother had already gone in, he would definitely follow closely behind even if he knew there was a dead end ahead.
“Ling’er, I urge you to come in as well. It’s probably even more dangerous outside, just follow behind me.”
Ling’er could only nod her head in fright.
She was starting to regret her decision.
Why did she ever suggest such an idea.
If it weren’t for her suggestion, perhaps they would have already left this area by now.
But now, it was her words that had trapped them here.
When everyone entered the cave, they realized how vast it actually was.
And it was unknown which parts were connected to the outside, so it didn’t seem as dark inside.
They had heard something resembling the sound of water dripping.
At that moment, the cave became very quiet and there was a damp sensation in the air.
Inside, there was no trace of any foul smell.
“You know, the air here actually seems quite good, and we don’t smell the rotten odors that we did in the previous caves.”
“Hmm, I noticed that too. If the cave is this big, could we possibly find another way out from here?”
“Yes, the literature mentions that a clever rabbit has three burrows, so maybe these creatures also have a second exit?”
“Does that mean if we follow that exit, could we potentially leave here safely?”
“Exactly, that’s what I mean.”
“But by doing this, wouldn’t we be violating our initial principle? Initially, we only agreed not to go deeper in, right? If we go deeper, wouldn’t they see us as invading their territory?”
Ling’er kindly reminded them, but now, they had no way out.
