Yelena was nowhere to be found, Makarov sat down on the grass in disappointment, Tang Feng could only comfort Makarov: "Maybe Yelena escaped in another way?"

Makarov shook his head, "Don! Don't comfort me. I can see clearly from above. There is no other way. There are towering peaks in front of me. There are cliffs on both sides. There is only this steep slope. There are still roads to go down." Hope! Yelena must have been in an accident, she was either injured and unconscious and still on top, or she panicked and ran back, no matter what happens, it is a dead end for Yelena!"

Everyone's hearts sank after hearing Makarov's analysis.Han Jiang thought about it quickly, and said to Makarov, "I see it this way. You stay here and don't move. I'll go up and have a look."

Tang Feng raised his head and stared at the narrow sky above his head, feeling like a frog in a well. He asked Han Jiang: "There are cliffs all around, even the steep slope we rolled down, without rock climbing tools, can you climb it?"

Han Jiang looked up at the surrounding cliffs, lost all confidence, sighed, and said, "I can only try!"

"Han! Let me go up, after all, Yelena is my daughter." Makarov said, clutching his wound.

"You have injuries on your body, how can you climb up!"

"But..." Makarov still wanted to argue, but Tang Feng suddenly made a silent gesture, interrupting their argument.Tang Feng pointed to the top again, and the four of them held their breath and listened attentively—someone is coming from above!

The four of them hid under the cliff, which was a blind spot that they couldn't see from above. After a while, there was a loud noise from above, and a voice cursed in English: "Damn! After chasing for half the night, did those people disappear? ?"

No one answered, then there was another noise, and then there was a burst of gunshots above the crowd, "Da! Da! Da! Da!——" A shuttle of bullets hit the rocks at the bottom of the valley, and no one moved, because everyone Clearly, this was a temptation by the men in black.

After a while, the voice above the head gradually faded away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out from the cliff, Makarov said to Han Jiang: "Han! There is no need to go up now, Yelena must be gone Above, I guess, she was probably caught by the men in black."

For some reason, Han Jiang refused to accept this speculation. He shook his head and whispered to Makarov, "No! Yelena won't be caught by the man in black so easily, she must have walked out by another way." canyon."

"Han, don't worry about Yelena anymore. If she is captured by those people, we can't do anything with our current strength; if she escapes successfully, with her full body ability, she will definitely be able to walk out of the Grand Canyon. Now we have to study It is how we get out of the Grand Canyon by ourselves. Assuming the worst case, Yelena is caught by the man in black, the best way for us to rescue her is to go out quickly, so, don’t think about Yelena now..."

Han Jiang couldn't listen anymore, he yelled at Makarov: "Yelena is your daughter, how can you say such a thing?"

Faced with Han Jiang's accusation, Makarov was not angry. He patted Han Jiang on the shoulder: "Han, you don't know Yelena well yet, you have to believe that she can handle it."

"Hmph! I don't know Yelena, and I don't know you either! Who are you guys? Why are you here?" Han Jiang was still angry and questioned Makarov.

"Who are we and what are we here for? It doesn't matter now! What matters now is that you need to stay rational!" Makarov also yelled at Han Jiang.

Han Jiang and Makarov fought hard for a long time, and finally Tang Feng came out to smooth things over and said to Han Jiang: "We can understand your feelings, but what is needed now is reason. I think what the old horse said still makes sense Yes, for now, we have to go out quickly."

Han Jiang glared at Tang Feng, but in the end, reason prevailed in his mind. He nodded and said, "Okay! I'll listen to you, how do I go now?"

Makarov pointed to the path between the cliffs, "I don't know where this leads, but now I have to try from here!"

Han Jiang also noticed this trail, and he agreed to give it a try, so the four of them started to head for the trail between the cliffs.The widest part of the trail between the cliffs is no more than two people walking side by side, and the narrowest part can only allow one person to pass sideways. It is really a standard line of sky.Soon, everyone walked through a path hundreds of meters long, and came to a flat ground that looked like a courtyard. In front of them, a cliff blocked the way.Seeing this, Liang Yuan asked in surprise, "Is this a dead end?"

After a while of silence, Makarov suddenly pointed to a corner of the "patio" covered by bushes, and said, "No! This is not a dead end! Look, there is a hole here!"

Tang Feng looked forward, and sure enough, he pushed through the luxuriant bushes, and a two-meter-square deep hole appeared in front of everyone.Inside the cave, there was a strong wind, and a faint white smoke rose from the entrance of the cave.Tang Feng turned on the flashlight and looked into the cave. A downward slope was bottomless, and he didn't know where it led.Tang Feng asked Makarov: "You mean let us enter the cave?"

Makarov nodded, "Since you're here, why don't you go in and find out?"

The four discussed it and decided to go into the cave to find out.Makarov walked into the black hole first, followed by Han Jiang, then Liang Yuan, and finally Tang Feng.Before entering the cave, Tang Feng raised his head and glanced at the sky above his head. At this time, the sky was completely bright. When the morning sun shone into the cold "bottom of the well", Tang Feng walked into a colder world without hesitation!

After walking in the dark cave for a quarter of an hour, the four people gradually got used to the darkness in the cave, and they came to the bottom of the ramp.This is a small platform, and there is another downward slope here. Going down the slope, the slope becomes narrower and more difficult to walk. The ground is full of gravel and small pieces of stalactites falling from the roof of the cave. , Liang Yuan began to panic: "I don't think anyone has ever been to this cave. I don't know what terrible things will be encountered in it. Let's go back?"

"I said earlier that I wouldn't bring you here, I knew you would be a hindrance, so be afraid now!" Tang Feng complained to Liang Yuan.

When Liang Yuan heard this, she immediately retorted: "I won't hold you back! I'm not afraid, I'm worried! We don't know where this hole will lead, and we don't know what emergencies will happen. , We didn't bring the necessary equipment, so we just went to explore the cave rashly..."

"Go back? Those men in black might be waiting for us outside..." Tang Feng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Han Jiang, "What Liang Yuan said is not unreasonable. It seems that this is a very deep If we continue to walk down the karst cave, there may be vertical shafts or holes behind us, and there may also be underground rivers or lakes. If we don’t have ropes and diving equipment, we will be trapped if we get lost in the cave. It's in the cave! I never expected that a small cave that looks very inconspicuous from the outside would be so..."

Han Jiang suddenly lost his voice when he said this, because at this time, they had already reached the end of the narrow ramp.After bypassing a pile of rubble, the front suddenly opened up, and a magnificent oval hall appeared in front of everyone.This is a karst cave hall the size of a football field. The giant stalagmites on the ground stand majestically, as tall as two or three people.Everyone looked up to the top of the oval hall. On the top of the hall, which is ten stories high, giant stalactites four to five meters long can be found everywhere, like the "Sword of Damocles" in ancient Greek mythology hanging over everyone. On the top of the head, under the light of the flashlight, the shapes are different and bizarre.Liang Yuan stared at the stalactites on the top of the cave, and asked nervously, "Will these giant stalactites fall and hit us?"

After being reminded by Liang Yuan, everyone carefully observed the stalactites on the top of the cave, only to find that some stalactites look quite solid, while others seem to be crumbling.Tang Feng pointed to some broken stones on the ground and said, "The stalactites above our heads look very fragile! Look, the broken stones on the ground are all stalactites that fell from the top of the cave."

Han Jiang knocked a rock on the wall of the cave with the butt of his gun, observed it, and nodded in agreement with what Tang Feng said, "The rocks here are very fragile, and the stalactites are easy to fall when they grow up, everyone should be extra careful."

The four of them turned around in the oval hall, and at the other end of the oval hall, they found another hole, a deep corridor leading to nowhere.Han Jiang stared at the corridor and murmured, "How deep is this hole?"

Makarov glanced at the corridor in front of him, and said, "According to my observation, this cave will have a large space. Do you feel the wind here?"

After Makarov's reminder, everyone felt the airflow slowly blowing from the other end of the tunnel, and it was quite comfortable to blow on their faces.Makarov went on to explain: "There is also white smoke at the entrance of the cave, which shows that the air flow in the cave is better, which means that there will be a lot of space in the cave."

"Since the cave is very large, it is difficult for us to get out, so we should go back the same way?" Liang Yuan advised everyone to go back.

This time, Tang Feng no longer refuted, Han Jiang fell into deep thought, and even the most determined Makarov hesitated...

Just when the four were hesitating, suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps from the ramp where they came, and everyone immediately became alert.The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the four of them dodged, hiding behind a pile of rubble at the entrance of the corridor, ready to evacuate from this corridor at any time...

"Could it be Yelena?" Tang Feng asked in a low voice.

"No! More than one person came." Makarov replied.

"Is it Yelena, or those men in black?" Tang Feng opened his eyes wide.

As soon as Tang Feng finished speaking, there were two complaints in English from the ramp at the other end of the oval hall: "Crazy, let us come to such a terrible hole, how could they come here to die!"

Soon, six men in black, armed with infrared night vision goggles and M4A1 assault rifles, appeared in the oval hall. "Come here for whatever you're afraid of, let's retreat!" Tang Feng suggested in a low voice.

"Retreat? It's too late! We can't run them. You see, there are six of them and four of us. They are in the light and we are in the dark. Why don't we kill them here!" Han Jiang glanced at the oval hall Those crumbling stalactites on top.

Tang Feng and Makarov understood, nodded to Han Jiang, and aimed the three pistols at the giant stalactites on the top of the cave.The six men in black had obviously never been here before. It could be seen that they were very nervous and everyone was on high alert.Holding assault rifles, they slowly searched the oval hall, one step at a time... Finally, they came to the center of the oval hall, and above their heads were two giant stalactites three to four meters long, already crumbling... …

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Tang Feng, Han Jiang and Makarov, with three guns in their hands, shot at the two giant stalactites on the top of the center of the hall. "Ah—" One of the stalactites fell in response, hitting a man in black, and the screams of the man in black shook the whole hall with horror!
But the other stalactite was not so obedient. Although it was on the verge of falling, it refused to fall down. When Han Jiang made another shot and finally knocked down the stalactite, the other men in black reacted quickly and avoided it.Afterwards, the concealed men in black began to shoot wildly in retaliation. The bullets rained down on the pile of rubble where Tang Feng and the others were hiding, and they were powerless to fight back.

At this time, Han Jiang already had some remorse, and he underestimated the quality and strength of this group of men in black again.He thought that he would have some chance of winning by fighting from the dark, but when the fight started, Han Jiang discovered that the pistols of the few of them were completely at a disadvantage in terms of firepower.What's more, in the dark cave, I don't have night vision equipment, and I am completely passive and beaten.

I can't fight recklessly!Han Jiang ordered Tang Feng and Makarov in a low voice: "You take Liang Yuan away first, and I will resist here for a while, and then go to meet you."

Tang Feng and Makarov didn't say anything. At this time, there was no better way.The three of them bent down, leaned against the wall of the cave, and quickly retreated from the corridor.They don't know where this tunnel leads to, and they don't know what they will encounter here, but they all know in their hearts now that it is impossible to return from the original road!Only move forward, or there is a glimmer of hope.

Tang Feng pulled Liang Yuan to bend over, leaning against the cave wall, and retreated to the depths of the corridor.Fortunately, this corridor is curved. Tang Feng and the others bent over and turned around a bend, so the enemy's bullets would not be able to hit them.Tang Feng straightened up, pulled Liang Yuan and ran forward quickly.Behind him, the unidentified man in black shot fiercely, followed by the sound of Han Jiang's counterattack.

Tang Feng dragged Liang Yuan and ran desperately in the corridor.This is a curved but very flat corridor.The tunnel is well ventilated, and the stalactites on the top of the tunnel are not developed, so there is no need to worry about stalactites falling suddenly.After Tang Feng ran for more than ten minutes, the gunshots behind him gradually faded away.He didn't know what was going on with Han Jiang now. At first he could hear Han Jiang's counterattack amidst the dense gunfire, but now... Tang Feng slowed down and stared at the front with a heavy breath. At this moment, another giant appeared in front of him. Hall - Hall of Stonefall.

Tang Feng saw a spectacular scene that he had never seen in his life.In the north of this hall (if the compass has not failed), there is a huge oval hole above the cave wall. The 40-meter-wide spectacular stone waterfall hangs from the entrance of the cave to the ground of the hall.On the stone waterfall, it is not known whether it is the seeping water drops or the distribution of mineral deposits, shining crystal and eye-catching light.

Just when Tang Feng was immersed in the shock of this spectacle, suddenly hurried footsteps came from the corridor behind him, Tang Feng and Makarov immediately became alert, they pulled out their guns, turned off the Torch, hide behind the rocks at the entrance to the Stonefall Hall.The sound of footsteps was getting closer and clearer. Finally, a black figure ran into the Stone Waterfall Hall. Tang Feng and Makarov aimed their guns at the shadow's temple. But Tang Feng and Makarov soon realized - it was Han Jiang!

When the flashlight was turned on again, Han Jiang turned his head to see that it was Tang Feng and Makarov who were pointing guns at him. He said in surprise, "I persisted there for seven or eight minutes. How did you get here?"

"We are waiting for you, and... and this place is really spectacular!" Tang Feng put away his gun and said.

"What is it spectacular? Those people will come after you right away. You don't want to die..." Han Jiang suddenly lost his voice when he said this, because the scene in front of him was indeed too spectacular, even the well-informed Han Jiang I have to be impressed by it.

Tang Feng, on the other hand, was reminded by Han Jiang, and his mind quickly cleared up. This place is too dangerous, and it is definitely not a place to enjoy the beautiful scenery.He looked around the Stone Waterfall Hall and found that on the south side of the Stone Waterfall Hall, that is, facing the direction of the Stone Waterfall, there was an oblate hole, which was very similar to the huge hole above the Stone Waterfall, only smaller.

Tang Feng pointed at the entrance of the cave, and shouted to everyone: "Quick! Go from here." After speaking, Tang Feng led everyone into the oblate cave.As soon as they got into the oblate hole, the footsteps of pursuers came from behind.

Holding a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, Tang Feng quickly walked through the oblate tunnel.This tunnel is not like the winding passage just now, but leads straight down to the front, keeps going forward, and keeps going down.The more you run, the deeper the oblate tunnel is, and the more you run, the more humid the ground is. In some places, you can even clearly see a trickle of water.Soon, Tang Feng found an obvious waterline on the cave wall.

"What is this?" Liang Yuan stopped and asked curiously.

Without waiting for Tang Feng to speak, Makarov explained breathlessly: "This is the waterline. The waterline appears here, which means that there used to be water here for a long time, but now the water has receded."

"Yes, we ran so deep, there is a possibility that there will be an underground river or an underground lake. Look, there is already water here!" Tang Feng said worriedly.

"There are chasing soldiers behind, and an underground lake is about to appear in front, so what should we do?" Liang Yuan asked in surprise.

Han Jiang remained calm: "No matter what, let's talk at the end. There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain."

The footsteps of the pursuers gradually became clearer. Tang Feng led everyone to continue running forward for an unknown amount of time. At the end of the tunnel, a long underground lake blocked their way!
