Chapter 697: Despair

The ice cubes are falling more and more quickly.

Long Jiuyan and Huo Shaoting leaned forward at the same time, protecting Bai Zhi under their bodies to prevent the ice from hitting her.

"What's going on?" The rescue team on the ground felt the vibration below and panicked, "Captain, there's something going on!"

The rescue team leader who was checking the instrument detection in front of the computer quickly came over. As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, his face became solemn.

"Quick! Pull the person up!" the rescue captain shouted.

Seeing that the captain looked ugly, the rescue team knew that the situation was critical and hurriedly pulled the descending team members up.

"You can't come up! Otherwise, what will our ninth master do?" Lin Yi saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

The rescue team leader took two steps forward and blocked Ji Yi's way.

"Sir, we are also very worried about their situation. But my team members are also human beings. They also have families and children. How I brought them out is how I must take them back." The rescue captain greeted Lin Yi's bloodthirsty With a face that was neither arrogant nor humble, he said, "Your boss's life is precious, but you can't take the lives of my team members for nothing."

Ji Yi looked at the rescue captain, his eyes seemed to burst out with fire.

The two of them were facing each other like this, and the ground shook violently.

"Pull people up quickly!" the rescue team leader shouted loudly, "Others, stay back!"

Lin Yi knew that offending the rescue team at this time would not bring him any favors. Although he could completely suppress them with force, he could not act out of emotion at this time.

At first glance, the rescue team leader appears to be a hard-nosed man who offends the professional rescue team. The only one who is in danger is Jiu Ye. After hearing the captain's order, the others hurriedly moved their things and started to retreat. The people underground were quickly pulled up. Before they could stand still, they discovered that the entrance of the cave was collapsing.

Several people ran forward quickly, and the rescue team leader pulled Ji Yi back a few steps.

The shaking became more violent, the hole collapsed, snow and soil fell one after another, and the hole expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Get out, get out!!!" the rescue captain yelled, "Evacuate quickly!"

After finishing speaking, the rescue team leader did not forget to drag Lin Yi, who was still in a daze, to quickly evacuate the scene.

At the same time, Long Jiuyan and Huo Shaoting at the bottom of the valley were protecting Bai Zhi as they walked towards the cave in front with difficulty.

Snow and mud hit them, but they both had a tacit understanding and didn't make a sound.

There is a cave extending out not far away, which can be used as a temporary foothold to avoid falling snow and mud. But the ground was shaking so hard that it was almost impossible to move even an inch.

Long Jiuyan hugged Bai Zhi tightly and bent her body slightly to prevent the soil from hitting her.

Huo Shaoting supported Long Jiuyan to prevent him from falling, so as to prevent Bai Zhi from being injured again.

The two of them slowly moved forward in a weird posture. The three cobblers at the back looked at the two people in front of them with their mouths open.

"Jiu...Jiuye...is actually willing to let Huo Shaoting touch him..."

Huo Shaoting and Long Jiuyan walked into the cave and looked at the three stupid men outside. Long Jiuyan couldn't help but frown.

Why didn't he kick some smarter ones down in the first place? These three idiots couldn't help at all and would only be a hindrance.

The cave is not big, just enough for a few of them to nest.

Although it is still cold, at least it is safe, although it is only temporarily safe.

After the vibration lasted for more than ten minutes, it finally stopped. The water rising in the hot spring slowly fell, and the entire ground was covered with mud and broken ice.

"Find a way to get out first, otherwise you don't know what will happen." Seeing that the shaking stopped, Huo Shaoting suggested.

Long Jiuyan glanced at Huo Shaoting, and he hugged Bai Zhi tighter in his arms, not giving Huo Shaoting a chance to get closer.

"You three, go take a look at the situation outside." Long Jiuyan said to his subordinates.

"Yes!" As soon as they exited the cave, one of them fell to the ground with his arms stretched out. The other two hurriedly helped him up, and the three of them quickly disappeared from the sight of Long Jiuyan and Huo Shaoting.

Huo Shaoting suppressed his laughter and glanced at Long Jiuyan maliciously.

Long Jiuyan hugged Bai Zhi very calmly, not wanting to give Huo Shaoting a single glance.

The three of them quickly turned back and said respectfully to Long Jiuyan: "Boss, the hot spring is full of ice, and the entrance to the cave we came down from before is blocked!"

The entrance to the cave is blocked?

Huo Shaoting quickly took two steps forward, wanting to check it out in person. As soon as he took two steps, the injury on his leg made him take a breath.

"If you can't do it, don't be brave!" Long Jiuyan snorted coldly, found a flat place to sit down, adjusted to a comfortable position and continued to hold Bai Zhi.

Huo Shaoting glanced at Long Jiuyan's blood-stained sleeves and retorted: "The injury on Master Jiu's hand is not light, so why show off?"

The three cobblers huddled in a corner and pretended not to hear anything.

The war has started again, but it is better not to harm Chi Yu, the three of them thought silently in their hearts.

Long Jiuyan glanced at Huo Shaoting with contemptuous eyes. In order to show that he was not trying to be brave, he raised his arms and wanted to stretch his muscles to show Huo Shaoting.

As a result, as soon as he raised his hand, the wound was involved, and severe pain shot through his entire arm. He endured it silently, and his face instantly turned pale.

Huo Shaoting shrugged and made an expression that said he would see through it but not tell it.

His eyes turned from Long Jiuyan's pale face to Bai Zhi in his arms. Seeing that Bai Zhi was still unconscious, he frowned slightly.

etc! That is……

Huo Shaoting's eyes fell on the back of Bai Zhi's head, and his expression changed drastically. He walked quickly to Long Jiuyan and stretched out his hand towards Bai Zhi's head.

"You..." Long Jiuyan was about to reprimand Huo Shaoting, but he became nervous when he saw Huo Shaoting's hands full of blood.

"We must find a way to get out." Huo Shaoting looked at Long Jiuyan seriously, "Otherwise..."

"No otherwise." Long Jiuyan said coldly, "I won't let her get hurt."

The three cobblers huddled in the corner looked at the sudden change in front of them and began to panic. In this situation, except for waiting for rescue, it was impossible to think of a way to get out by themselves.

If something happened to Miss Bai Zhi, the three of them would probably be delayed here.

The entrance of the cave was blocked, and the light from the two dim headlights was completely absorbed by the surrounding darkness. In the silent air, only the sound of teeth chattering could be heard.

Long Jiuyan and Huo Shaoting kept massaging Bai Zhi's limbs, and the three men hugged each other for warmth, and each of them was as hopeless as death.

On the ground, after the shaking stopped, the rescue team immediately returned to the entrance of the cave and prepared to start another rescue.

Lin Yi anxiously walked back and forth at the entrance of the cave, and couldn't help but blame Bai Zhi in his heart. He just hoped that Jiu Ye below would be safe.

The captain of the rescue team arranged the personnel and asked them to start going down the cave again.

The people below climbed up again halfway through.

Lin Yi strode forward: "What's wrong?"
