smuggler

Chapter 146
I poked the flashlight inside. It was pitch black and bottomless, and I didn't know what was underneath.

After a few glances, he didn't see any tricks, so he looked back at Chu Yuan who was at the side, and asked in a low voice, "What should we do now?"

I have an inexplicable dependence on him. When I am with him, I always like to leave the decision-making power to him.

"You wait here."

Chu Yuan turned around and walked to the side. Even though it was such a dark place, he seemed to be walking on flat ground.

I stood there shivering from the cold, but fortunately, after a while, Chu Yuan found a hemp rope from somewhere.

"Going down?"

Seeing the hemp rope in his hand, he vaguely understood something, this is going to go down, the black cloth inside is cold, maybe there is something bad about it.

"If you are afraid, you can wait for me here."

After Chu Yuan finished speaking, he still put the hemp rope aside. It seems that he "kindly" prepared this hemp rope for me. Otherwise, with his ability, he might have just jumped into it.

"Who... who is scared." I said forcefully, and I said so, but I still felt a little afraid of this darkness in my heart, fortunately because he was there.

I walked to the edge of the hole and took a look inside.

All that caught my eyes was pitch black, bottomless black, which gave me a sense of panic in the abyss.

I even vaguely felt that there was a giant beast crouching in the dark depths below.

And the darkness of this hole is its mouth, once it enters, it is equivalent to entering the mouth of a giant beast.

"I'll go first, you follow me."

Chu Yuan picked up the hemp rope, tied a knot on the solid raised stone beside it, and threw the other end down.

"What if there is a dark river here? Wait a minute!" In order not to be so rash, I looked around, picked up a small stone, and threw it into it.

About two or three seconds later, I heard the sound of the stone falling to the ground, but the echo from inside was like a lament from the cave.

"You don't need to panic!" Chu Yuan walked to the side of the cave.

"Wait a minute." I grabbed his arm and asked curiously, "I'm a little curious. I needed two people to make up for the insidious drama yesterday, but I don't need it here. If something happens here, maybe I'll just be yours." Tuoyouping, why do you still let me go down?"

His mind is more mature than mine, his head is smarter than me, and his strength is so strong. On the other hand, I am still weak now.

If he came here alone, he would have no worries at all.

Chu Yuan pondered for a while, and said something that made me feel extremely ashamed: "Because, I like to see you frightened!"

Well, this guy seems to have a bit of a bad taste!
"Is there anything else I want to ask?" He looked at my hand on his arm.

I let go of his arm with a dry smile, shook my head lowly and said, "No, but if I go down with the hemp rope, it may be a bit difficult."

I estimated that it is about ten meters to the bottom of the cave. At this height, it is as difficult for a girl like me to grab the rope and slide down, no less than running a marathon.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan didn't jump down, but grabbed the rope and held my feet underneath for me to borrow strength.

Otherwise, relying on my arm strength, I'm afraid I will lose my hand when I slide down three or four meters, and finally fall to the bottom and fall to pieces.

During the descent, I couldn't help admiring him. He has such good physical strength that he can hold the rope with one hand and support my foot with the other.

I stepped on the cushions on both sides of the cave with my feet, and fell slowly so that my hands would not be able to catch the rope.

The sides of the cave are smooth and covered with moss like snake scales. Several times my feet slipped and I almost lost my balance.

The cave was deeper than I had imagined, and I went down the rope for several minutes.

"The cave wall is very wet and slippery, please be careful." He reminded in a low voice.

It was only then that I noticed that there was a lot of water vapor on the cave wall, and I could hear the sound of dripping water when I listened quietly.

When I was almost at the bottom of the cave, I looked up, and the entrance of the cave seemed to be half smaller.

Soon a new problem appeared. When I was up there, I only considered whether there was water at the bottom of the cave, but I ignored the length of the hemp rope.

The hemp rope was actually not that long, and it was about four or five meters above the bottom of the cave. It was dark under the key, so I couldn't see what was going on.

Chu Yuan glanced down, raised his head and said to me: "After I go down, you let go and jump down, and I'll catch you!"

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but let go and fell down.

There was no sound of landing, and in the darkness, I could only vaguely see his figure at the bottom of the cave.

In what I can hear from below he says, "Let go and jump down, I can catch it!"

I glanced down. This height is not high, but it is scary enough. Can he really catch it if I let go?

However, my hands were already a little numb, and I didn't have much strength to spare. In the end, I could only close my eyes, and let go with an attitude of resignation.

The whole person seemed to have fallen into hell, but in the next second, I immediately fell into a generous embrace.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Chu Yuan's face. He held me firmly in his arms, like a princess who made people blush and heartbeat.

"Are you okay?" he asked concerned.

"It's okay!" I blushed, quickly got down from his arms, and straightened my clothes.

Turning on the flashlight, I could barely see around.

The cave is about the height of a person, and it is shaped like a gourd. It becomes wider and wider as you go inside. Where the candle light cannot reach, there is a bottomless darkness.

"Be careful, there's something weird in here!" Chu Yuan didn't know if he smelled something, and there was a trace of anxiety on his face.

I looked around and said in a low voice, "This is like a cave where big insects hibernate!"

But after finishing speaking, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be a big worm.

With a flashlight on, I walked forward more than ten meters, and suddenly I smelled a foul smell, which seemed to be the smell from the sewer, and it was so bad that it made people bow their heads.

I covered my mouth and nose with my hands, but even that didn't work much, the smell breathed into my mouth, slowly making me dizzy.

Chu Yuan didn't know if he sensed any danger, he quietly retreated to my side, and held my arm warily.

As soon as I saw him like this, I immediately became tense, feeling that something was lurking in the darkness, slowly approaching the two of us.

"Is there something?" I asked in a low voice.

Will there be a monster popping out of the darkness?

Thinking of this, I felt that it was getting more and more difficult for me to breathe, and finally I started to gasp, and my throat was as uncomfortable as stuffed with cotton.

"Do not talk!"

Chu Yuan shook his head and warned me to keep quiet.

After he finished speaking, he noticed my abnormality. After finding out that something was wrong with me, he took out the pill that he gave me when he went to the Snake Temple in the village, put it in his mouth without thinking, and then said it rightly. Mouth to feed me.
