Chapter 29 4. Underground Waterfall

In the basement, Jiro flew towards Genjiro's skeleton and trampled it to pieces.And the flames that had spread to the skeleton's clothes were also extinguished, and the basement was once again plunged into darkness. After about 30 minutes, the poisonous smoke in the room slowly dissipated, and everyone's half-crazed emotions gradually calmed down. During this period, the Yucun father and son lay down in the darkness, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. Soon, Zentaro regained his senses and spoke first: "Hey, Ichiro, Erlang, and Taeko, cheer up, we have to escape from this ghostly place no matter what. I thought about it for a long time, and I think the only way to escape is to dig up the wall hole where the bones were placed. You should be able to get out by digging on the ground. It shouldn’t be too far from the ground, as long as you work together, you will definitely get out.”

"Ah, that's what I thought too. You can use unburned chair legs." Ichiro replied, and Erlang naturally had no objection. So they lit the second precious match, and besides Taeko, the three men picked up chair legs and stood side by side at the entrance of the cave. For the next half hour, the three dug in the dark.Although it was quite cold in the basement, everyone was sweating profusely.So, the speed of progress is faster than expected. "It's only the last step. The soil above seems to have become soft. I think it's not far from the ground." The three of them got more and more energetic. At this moment, a few drops of water dripped from the top. They felt strange that the drops had turned into streams and poured down.Everyone backed away in astonishment, and the water flow instantly turned into a turbulent flow carrying mud, rushing into the basement.The three of them could only flee to the corner farthest from the cave, judging the water potential based on the sound they heard.Unexpectedly, not only did the sound of the water not stop, it seemed to get louder.

The torrential water poured into the basement, quickly covered the ankles, and reached the knees in a blink of an eye. The speed of the accumulation of water was unprepared. "Erlang, match, match!" Hearing his father's order, Erlang immediately lit the last match to illuminate the room. The waterfall in the cave falls in an astonishing manner, and the basement instantly becomes a swimming pool. "Hey, where's Taeko?" When I regained my senses, my sister was gone, was she submerged in water?Erlang moved the match and looked around, sadly, the sticks were all burned out, but Taeko was still missing.The water kept rushing up from the knees, and soon reached the waist, and there was no time to continue looking for Taeko.

According to this situation, the continuously pouring water will soon rush from the abdomen to the chest, then from the chest to the neck area, and finally engulf the whole body.There was no drain in this secret room, and the three of them might not be able to escape the fate of drowning. But where does so much water come from? "Oh, I see, we've been tricked. He's dug a pond right above the cave wall, and if anyone in the basement tries to escape by digging through the wall, they'll dig under the bottom of the pond, and the water's bound to get in. " Like ditch rats caught in a trap, Yucun father and son fell into the dug water trap.

"Damn it, this villain is so vicious! The more anxious we are, the faster we die!" No matter how angry you are, the water will not recede.Seeing that the water has reached the waist, the turbulence is still pouring in with overwhelming momentum, as if it will never stop.
