Chapter 247 The Bottomless Pit
"What way?" Huang Shisan asked hastily.

I replied: "Thirteen, do you remember what I told you before, what happened to Brother Ergou and I in Murong Chui's underground palace? The situation we encountered at that time was almost exactly the same as it is now."

Huang Shisan suddenly realized: "By the way, you can use your ability to seek good luck and avoid bad luck!"

"Yes, but the biggest problem now is that I can't see anything, and I can't see if there are any signs of death behind you." I sighed.

"That's right, we don't have flashlights, and we don't have any candles... Wait, I seem to have..." Huang Shisan patted his forehead. He didn't know what he was looking for in his pocket, so he heard a stabbing sound. , A flame ignited, and I saw that what he was holding in his hand was a box of matches.

"Thirteen, why do you have matches on you?" I said excitedly.

"You forgot, I lit a bag of cigarettes for Grandpa Huixian before, and I didn't care at that time, so I just put the match in my pocket." Huang Shisan chuckled.

"Great, but we have to save some time. Brother Ergou, come here quickly. Follow the old method in the underground palace. You stand in front of each tunnel." The deaf man dragged Zhang Deaf to the five secret passages in front of him, grabbed Zhang Deaf's shoulder with his right hand, and told Huang Shisan to light a match.

The faint fire light illuminated Zhang Deaf's back, and I was surprised to see that Zhang Deaf's shackles became shorter, which meant that the tunnel in front of me was a dead end.

I tested one by one, and these five secret passages are not like the ones in Murong Chui's underground palace, open, rest, life, injury, Du, scene, death, shock, only one is the way of life, and three of these five tunnels are the way of survival.

We followed the same pattern and successfully passed through several fork roads. We found that, as Mr. Huixian said, all fork roads with a smell were safe, and we found that the smell was rat feces all over the place.

However, after walking for a long time, we still couldn't get out of the cave. I couldn't help but feel a little impetuous. I fumbled for a fork in the road. I said casually: "This is really a mouse's son who can dig holes. This gray fairy is too good at it." ..."

Just when I was halfway through my words, Huang Shisan suddenly covered my mouth, "Brother Changsheng, you forgot that there are little gray fairies everywhere here, if what you said just now reaches the ears of the old gray fairy..."

"Yes... yes, I made a slip of the tongue just now, and please forgive the younger generation for being disrespectful for a while." I quickly changed my words and apologized.

"Brother Changsheng, we've come to a fork in the road again. This time there are only two roads. It's up to you where to go." Huang Shisan took a step back and let me and Deaf Zhang walk to the front.

I grabbed Deaf Zhang's arm with my right hand, but when we got ready, Huang Shisan beside me didn't move, and I didn't see him strike a match.

"Thirteen, what's wrong with you? Hurry up." I urged.

But Huang Shisan said in a panic, "No...it's not good, I've run out of matches in this matchbox..."

My head buzzed, "What? What should I do now? Are there other things that can catch fire or shine? It only takes a moment."

The three of us searched for all the things we were carrying, but there was nothing that could illuminate it. Huang Shisan came to the fork in the road and seemed to sniff it vigorously with his nose. The stench made him cough a few times.

"It stinks, these two tunnels are stinky, alas, we may only have one way now, just like we guessed the size before, we were blind."

"Oh, there is no other way." I said helplessly.

Afterwards, we randomly chose a tunnel and walked in. It didn't take long before we saw a glimmer of light and felt a breeze.

But after experiencing the previous narrow escape, we saw the light as if we saw despair, and instead stopped.

"Oh, it's another dead end, let's go back." Huang Shisan, who was walking in front, said.

But just as we turned around to go back, I suddenly heard the cry of a goshawk, and I said excitedly, "No, the exit is ahead, I remember that there is a goshawk's nest in the tree in front of the cave!"
