Quenched long order

Chapter 18
There are not many women on this island, how could there be a little girl in the mine!
Saul immediately took off the talisman on the psychic lamp and put it on his neck. Then, holding the psychic lamp with his left hand, he silently observed the surroundings. At the same time, the feeling of burning soul appeared.

The space in the slit is enough for him to move around. If there is danger ahead, he can choose to turn around and crawl back, but if there is danger behind...

The cries were getting closer and louder.

Suddenly, he felt a slight exhalation sound from the back of his neck, and the icy breath slapped on his neck, as if to freeze the blood.He didn't dare to look back, and immediately stretched out his hands and crawled forward, almost without any hesitation, because the result of the air perception was... There was nothing behind him, no one.

As for what it is, he doesn't want to know, at least, not now, the only thing he wants to do now is not to be caught up by the things behind him, he crawls desperately, the eerie cry is mixed with his own violent heartbeat, as if someone is urging him to go faster.

In the narrow hidden passage, the warm yellow light became brighter and brighter until the light illuminated a wider area.

Sauer stopped his hands, resisted the urge to take a big breath, and forced himself to look ahead. Now, he had come to the exit of the narrow passage, but the light could not reach the end. When he raised his head, he could still see the rock wall above, but below, the psychic light could only cover two meters at most, and there was only darkness left in the farther place.

He randomly found a small piece of gravel and threw it out, but he didn't hear any obvious sound. Then, he looked back, and at some point, the girl's crying disappeared without a trace, and the surrounding was so quiet that he could only hear his unsteady heartbeat. He turned his head back and looked around, hoping to find something.

"This is?"

A discovery caught his attention. About two meters to the right, there was a black iron nail the size of a thumb, and a hemp rope leading down was tied to the iron nail.

He quickly climbed over and observed the iron nails carefully, and found that there were obvious signs of corrosion on the iron nails, and the hemp rope tied to the iron nails was also severely worn.

"Someone has been here before? Or did the mine collapse before?"

While talking, he became more and more curious about the bottom of the slit. However, the girl's cry just now still made him afraid. He took a deep breath and reached out to touch the Nachalu amulet on his neck. The feeling was not very reliable. After hesitating for a few seconds, he sighed and chose to return.

It is too dangerous to continue the in-depth investigation. Although it is necessary to take some risks to go to the depths of the mine, but when everything is unclear, the immediate risk is too high. It is more appropriate to choose to return temporarily. At least one person must know his location. Otherwise, if there is an accident in the middle, he is likely to be trapped to death in this hidden location that no one knows.

He took the spirit lamp and returned along the original road. Fortunately, he did not encounter any abnormalities when he returned. It was not until he walked out of the corner of the cave wall that he took a deep breath and felt relieved.

Garland, who had been waiting for a long time, approached, but Andrew just turned his head slightly, his eyes still full of disappointment.

"How?" Garland asked nervously.

Saul smiled, turned his head to look at Andrew who was sitting on the ground, and said softly, "I found a secret passage, and I went in to have a look. That passage is above, so you didn't find it. It is a narrow passage, and you can only pass through it by crawling..." At this point, he put away his smile, "...but, I heard a girl crying inside."

"Girls? There are not many women on this island. How could there be girls in the mine?" Garland was full of surprise. Then, he looked Saul up and down, and asked in a suspicious tone: "Sauer, did you hear wrong?"

"Then..." Andrew stood up, leaning on the cave wall with his right hand, with endless sadness in his eyes, "Did you find... Sean? Is he still alive?"

Saul didn't shake his head or nod, he looked serious, and replied in a deep voice: "It's like this, Andrew, it would be dangerous for me to go on alone, but I'm confident that if we go on, we will find Sean, so cheer up, okay?"

After speaking, he turned to look at Garland, "Let's go together."

Afterwards, the three spirit lamps re-entered from the corner of the cave wall, climbed up a little, entered the narrow passage, and finally stopped at the position where the hemp rope was.

Because there must be one person staying above, it is a problem who goes down first.

Saul glanced at Garland, then at Andrew, and already had an idea in his mind.

From the perspective of his own safety and that of Garland, it is absolutely impossible for Andrew to stay on the top alone. Therefore, Andrew must go down with one of the two, and because Andrew is the first to go down, he may be left behind. Therefore, from Andrew's point of view, it is best for Andrew to go down second.

After a brief analysis, the final arrangement is ready to come out.

"Garland, you stay here, I'll go down first, Andrew you second." Shao turned his head and said to the two people beside him.

"Whatever." Andrew said in a dull tone.

Saul glanced at Garland, who nodded without saying anything. Then, Garland moved aside to make room for the hemp rope, making it easier for his friends to climb.

With his trusted partner as the backing, Shao felt a lot of peace of mind. After he was ready, he climbed down along the hemp rope. The process of descending was easier than he imagined, and the spirit lamp in his hand didn't have much impact. He didn't hold the hemp rope tightly until he was close to the ground, and then he put his feet down and stepped directly on the solid ground.

The light of the spirit lamp illuminates the surroundings. The surroundings are not spacious, but they are much larger than the narrow passage that came in before. In front, there is a winding road leading to nowhere.

"Saul, how are you?" Garland called from above.

"About 20 meters high, let Andrew come down!" Shaoer replied. Suddenly, he found a pickaxe lying not far from his right foot. He bent down and picked it up. After careful observation, he found that it was a pickaxe that can be seen everywhere on the island, and there was no mark on it. "If I remember correctly, this kind of mining tools are very cheap on this island, but this pickaxe doesn't have many traces of use..." He stared at the pickaxe carefully, "...and there is no sign of rust, did it just stay here recently?"

Just as he was thinking, Andrew had already slid down the hemp rope, and before Saul could speak, he walked forward alone with the psychic lamp.

Saul quickly followed.

In the quiet mine, there was an unusual sound of mining.

Boom, boom.

He wouldn't find it strange if it was a newly discovered mineral lode somewhere in the mine, but in this extremely hidden place, it seemed extraordinarily strange.

Andrew quickened his pace, but Saul slowed down.

Until the front view suddenly widened, at the same time, the brightness of the psychic lamp increased unexpectedly, even to the point of dazzling. Sauer squinted his eyes slightly and looked forward, but what he saw made him slowly widen his eyes, ignoring the dazzling light of the psychic lamp. In front of him, there was a golden light.
