The space that appeared in front of him was around 30 meters tall and was as tall as a 10 story building.

It was oval in shape and about ten meters in diameter. The rocks on all sides were smooth and angled. This should be a natural cave, which coincidentally appeared during the excavation of the tunnel.

In front of him, there were three pitch-black holes. They looked like the mouths of three giant magical beasts, capable of devouring anything.

"How do we get there?"

A Lan panicked a little as her footsteps echoed in the cave. The pursuers behind him would catch up very quickly.

"This way."

Qi Jin chose a cave that had a deep hole, and the other two, the deeper they went, the narrower it became.

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Zhao said, "It might be better to split up."

She even wanted to lure the pursuers over to her side so that Qi Jin could be safer.

"Let's go together."

Qi Jin did not hesitate, he had the superpower to cheat, and was able to protect Sun Zhao. Once they split up, not only would their powers be scattered, here, Sun Zhao could not even protect herself.

"Which way are you going?"

Sun Zhao also did not want to separate from Qi Jin, but she ordered A Lan.

The meaning was very clear, it was to sacrifice A Lan to protect her and Qi Jin.

"Yes, miss."

A Lan was about to cry, but she did not disobey the order.

From the day she became a soldier, the warriors could sacrifice their lives at any time. According to the needs of the battlefield, it was the time Sun Zhao needed to make her sacrifices.

"A Lan is coming with us. Trust me, I will definitely be able to get out."

Qi Jin retracted his hand and pulled A Lan's arm, using all his strength to pull A Lan over, allowing the two women to walk in front.

This move caused A Lan to be moved to the point that she couldn't forget it even in her entire life. It was deeply ingrained in her memory.

After walking for 10 minutes, there was the sound of water flowing. There was a small river in there, its width was about 7m, the water current was extremely fast, Qi Jin could see clearly with his cheating methods, the river's depth was more than 3m, it could be considered a medium sized river, but unfortunately, it was in the middle of the mountain, it was also an underground river.

Such a river would not disappear without a reason. The only place it could go was to the surface.

"Follow the river. We might be able to get out."

Qi Jin's eyes looked towards the far end of the underground river, and he saw that above the river, there was a space. People could swim in the river and not need to dive into the water to follow the river.

The water was very cold, causing Sun Zhao to shiver. She had suffered from cold before, so she was very sensitive to cold.

A feeling of psychological fear was born.

Seeing that she was a little afraid, and holding onto Sun Zhao, Qi Jin said in a low voice: "Hug my head, and bring you along."

"How far ahead?"

Sun Zhao said with a trembling voice.

"I don't know. There's no way to leave."

Qi Jin comforted her by kissing her ice-cold face.

After swimming for more than three hundred meters in the icy river, the terrain gradually lowered, and the space above became narrow. The rocks above their heads seemed to smash down directly, causing people to feel a great sense of oppression and fear.

The usually calm and composed Sun Zhao couldn't help but hug Qi Jin tightly, looking for warmth and comfort.

"It's alright, there's a section that requires us to dive underwater. It's only about 20 meters long. After we cross that section of the road, we'll be safe."

Qi Jin could see very clearly that if he continued to walk forward, the rock surface would become wider, and the water would reach a depth of only 1.5 meters. He had to hold his breath, and go underwater or directly walk towards the rock, but he had to bend his waist, and if he looked up, he would bump into the rock.

After this period of time, if the pursuers were able to catch up, they could only dive. Qi Jin guarded the empty space over there, even if there were a hundred soldiers, he would still be able to kill them.

Soldiers guns and grenades became useless.

Using the fluoroscopic eye that he used to cheat, Qi Jin could see clearly that any dangerous movements were not escaping his eyes.

Sure enough, under Qi Jin's encouragement, the three of them walked hand in hand across the perilous part of the underground river, which was more than twenty meters wide, before the small river became deeper. By the river side, there was sand, with space extending on both sides of the river.

After observing for a while, Qi Jin pointed to the right and said: "Let's go ashore here. A Lan, go and collect some firewood.

They also had bags with them, only one of which was waterproof and contained three sets of coats.

Sun Zhao walked around barefooted on the beach, leaned on the cold rocks and changed into dry clothes, and her body gradually became warm.

Looking at the time, it was already eight o'clock at night. Even if he walked out from here, it was still night and he couldn't walk in the jungle.

The jungle at night was quite scary. Most of the ferocious beasts had come out to look for food, and groups of poisonous snakes were ready to attack at any time. Even more terrifying mosquitoes and killers were unable to guard against them.

As expected, a lot of firewood was placed in the depths of the cave. A Lan returned after a while and said in shock: "Mr. Qi, Young Miss, quickly go and take a look.

"What good stuff?"

Sun Zhao whose body was already warm asked sternly. Just as she left the danger zone, the image of a valiant soldier appeared.

A Lan led the way in front. After they passed through a man-made cave, they arrived at a large cave. It was even larger than the cave they had seen at the beginning, which was about twice as big as the cave they had first entered.

The firewood that Qi Jin had mentioned was placed inside this cave, and each log was neatly placed together. Each firewood's diameter was around seventy to eighty centimeters.

Qi Jin thought that A Lan came back to ask for help because the firewood was too big for her.

She could not help but think, A Lan was really stupid, didn't she have a Mountain Splitting Blade with him?

It was enough to start a fire by chopping wood.

Actually, it was not what Qi Jin had imagined.

When Sun Zhao saw the log, he said in shock, "This is actually sandalwood? This place is filled with sandalwood. Oh my god, there's actually so much here.

Sandalwood?

Qi Jin had heard of it before. It seemed like sandalwood was very valuable.

Qi Jin didn't know that sandalwood grew in the southern rainforests all the way back to the late Ming Dynasty.

After the Ming dynasty, sandalwood encountered crazy logging, almost extinct, and later planted artificially, so that this precious tree reappears in the human world.

Every sandalwood tree has to go through more than a hundred years of growth before it can grow.

Sandalwood is the best raw material for making furniture.

Not only was the texture clear and the color magnificent, but it could also give off a faint fragrance, which was very beneficial to a person's health. As long as the furniture was properly maintained, it would not be damaged for hundreds of years.

Currently, the sandalwood logs were sold on the international market for around 10,000 yuan per catty, and there weren't many of them. After all, it would take several generations of protection for a tree to grow to maturity.

During the war years, sandalwood suffered great damage due to its crazy plundering.

Qi Jin did not know how precious the sandalwood was, and said: "Right now, the most important thing is to preserve my life, quickly chop some firewood. I will go to the river bank to take a look, those soldiers should be catching up very quickly."

Sun Zhao was speechless. She actually wanted to split the incomparably precious sandalwood into pieces and burn it.

He really didn't know what he was thinking. He was even more tyrannical than a tyrant.

The soldiers on the other side of the river had decided to send a fully armed soldier to dive here. They did not know how long the river was, so they were very careful when they reached the end of the river, which was only a meter away.

The scuba diver felt that he didn't have enough breath left. He didn't know he was going to get into a new environment soon, so he turned around and hurried back.

Seeing this scene, Qi Jin was also startled, and thought: "Is he a smart person or a fool? If we go forward another one meter, we will be able to breathe fresh air, and if we go back, we will have to hold our breath. The distance between us is around seventeen or eighteen meters. "

The pathfinders received no useful information, and then they came up with a way to tie a torch to a rope. The torch would go out when it entered the water, but the torch was made of pine, and the wood would float on the water.

If the low section of the river disappeared, the wood in the water would rise, and the men on the other side would be able to feel it with their hands.

This was a relatively simple and practical method.

This is the way that people living in rainforests use to test the depth of water flow and river courses.

Qi Jin saw the torch coming over, and laughed coldly, he found his machete and hacked down forcefully, causing the rope to break, and the wood continued to float along with the flow.

Qi Jin reached out and scooped up the wood, thinking, "This is a good material to start a fire with, there are a lot of resins."

The soldiers who were waiting for news sensed that someone was sabotaging the situation here. As the machetes cut the ropes, a trembling sensation came from this side.

Qi Jin's method of handling the river had made the soldier's judgment: "The underground part of this river is not very long, it is only about 20 metres, but there are guards over there, so we cannot cross it."

After chasing for a long time, the soldiers were also exhausted. One by one, they went ashore to find a dry place to rest.

After eating and drinking, they sent a soldier to dive here. The pathfinder had explained the situation under water at the beginning: "The river is basically flat. Keep going. The current is not very fast."

The moment this brave soldier appeared, Qi Jin, who was standing on the shore, laughed coldly, revealing his white teeth. The machete in his hand slashed downwards forcefully, and his head that was not completely exposed to the water surface immediately had a cut.

The soldier immediately lost consciousness and floated up. Qi Jin dragged him onto the shore, laid him on his back, and then cut his neck, cutting open the throat of the soldier who was in a coma. The soldier's head was next to the river, and the blood that flowed out flowed with the waves.

"It's as simple as killing a chicken."

Qi Jin was very proud, with this kind of natural moat, no matter how many thousands of troops he had, he would never be able to pass.

There were too many people on his side, so he could just squat by the river and shoot his opponent in the head.

Unceremoniously, he unloaded the soldier's weapon, pulled the bolt on the gun, and fired from the top.

It was an M-16 submachine gun, with 30 magazine shots, a firing rate of 900 meters per second, a range of around 400 meters, and it was the ideal light weapon for modern individual combat.

The people who took the initiative first, if they wanted to take over the land, they would have to pay a high price. They did not have the strength to do so at the moment, so most of the people shook their heads and did not even hear the sound of the gunshots. It was obvious that Sun Zhao did not need to shoot to kill them.

He might have dropped a stone from a high place and killed it, or he might have caught the soldiers in a fishing net.

Just as they were randomly discussing whether they should ask for reinforcements or not, something pricked their ears. It was like a mosquito bite, and these people all turned pitch black and died.

So it was Hei Tuo who killed his way back, following the smell left behind from Qi Jin's body to find him.

It knew that these were its enemies, and it didn't hold back at all. It used its unique ability to poison all of them to death.

Qi Jin could see everything clearly, and he was overjoyed. When Hei Tuo returned with the arborvitae radix, they would be saved.

The black shadow swam over like a bolt of white lightning. It jumped onto the shore and shook the water droplets. The hair on its body was still as dry as before.

It handed the arborvitae radix to Qi Jin, but did not disappear right away. Instead, it patted its belly in satisfaction and said through sound transmission: "I ate my fill."

"What did you eat?"

Qi Jin was curious, it couldn't have eaten drugs with the small piece of wood, right?

"Poisonous mosquito, venomous snake, venomous spider, venomous ant etc. I don't need to eat them anymore in a few days."

So it was eating those small animals. Qi Jin was a little relieved, as long as it did not become addicted to drugs.
