Su Yun struggled to get up and look up in the tunnel. Unexpectedly, he bumped into the solid tunnel barrier.

“I’m really unlucky. I’d probably get something stuck in my teeth from drinking water alone.”

Su Yun muttered in his heart. He realized that he could not raise his head in this narrow tunnel, so he could only crawl.

He wanted to retreat, but he realized that the pit that had been washed by the heavy rain was incomparably slippery. He had slipped down several times.

So he tried to turn around in the tunnel again.

Unfortunately, the narrow tunnel that could only accommodate a person was impossible to turn around.

“Who would f*cking dig such a hole for no reason? Isn’t this scamming people?”

Su Yun stuck himself in the muddy tunnel, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

Now, he was like an ant on a hot pan. He was in a dilemma.

He had no choice. Su Yun glanced at the deep and dark tunnel in front of him and swallowed.

“Forget it, I admit defeat. I can only go in and see if there’s anything useful or find a place where I can turn around.”

Su Yun crawled a few steps and bumped into the tunnel barrier.

“It’s not that deep.”

Muttering to himself, Su Yun searched his surroundings in the darkness.

Suddenly,

He seemed to have touched something in his hand. It looked like a square box.

Su Yun was planning to use this thing to chisel open the slippery barrier and create conditions for himself to climb.

In the end, with a little force, the square box shattered with a bang.

“This… useless thing!”

Su Yun complained and began to feel for any usable corners of the shattered box.

He only needed to have enough hardness and sharp angles to create the compacted soil.

Unexpectedly, after fumbling for a long time, the entire box was like a rotten piece of wood that would break with a touch.

Just as Su Yun changed direction at the end of the tunnel with difficulty, —Click.

Su Yun was overjoyed when he felt the cold texture under his hand.

He seemed to have found something useful.

Su Yun fumbled around in the darkness, although he did not know what was in his hand.

However, Su Yun was certain that this thing was abnormally hard, like a palm-sized piece of iron.

“There’s always a way out. The ancients did not lie to me!”

Su Yun sighed. He was glad that he could finally jump out of this slippery and narrow pit.

When he thought of the painful experience tonight, Su Yun could not help but feel a wave of sadness.

He felt that even television dramas would not dare to act like this after his exciting experience tonight.

He was completely relying on his tenacious will.

Otherwise, who knew how long he would be trapped in the pit.

After a long time, Su Yun finally crawled out of the pit with the metal piece in his hand.

At this moment, a faint yellow light had already appeared in the sky. Dawn was about to arrive.

Su Yun felt like a blade of grass that had lived in the dark for a long time. Finally, his dawn had arrived.

Su Yun wanted to throw away the metal piece in his hand, but he suddenly remembered his despair in the tunnel just now.

“You’re my life-saving metal piece. You’re my lucky charm.”

Su Yun clearly remembered how sharp the soil that was chiseled and compacted with this thing was.

It was simply cutting iron like mud. Of course, it was originally cutting mud.

However, the soil was also divided into different grades. Su Yun felt that the soil just now was definitely as hard as a rock.

From the beginning, he had tried to use his hand to pull open a lever for climbing.

However, his fingernails were about to break, and he only scraped off a little mud.

However, all in all, Su Yun had changed his mind.

He would treat it as a lucky charm that could save him from his misery.

Su Yun did not care about the mud on the iron piece. In any case, his entire body was muddy.

If he appeared in front of Big Head Yang like this, he would think that Su Yun was a revived terracotta soldier.

Su Yun put away the lucky iron piece and looked in the direction of the sun as he strode over.

At this moment, Su Yun was in an extremely miserable state. Not only did he look like a terracotta soldier, but he also looked like a hungry savage in the mountains.

Su Yun dragged his gradually heavy body down the mountain step by step.

Now that the sky was bright, he also saw the familiar asphalt road winding through the mountains and found a way out.

Su Yun did not say a word along the way. He was still thinking about the few sneaky people he had met last night.

Su Yun did not know who they were.

As for his appearance, Su Yun did not notice it at all.

After all, at that critical moment, it was already lucky to avoid the fatal blow.

There was no time to see what the other party looked like. Besides, it was late at night.

After a night of torment, Su Yun was physically and mentally exhausted. He saw a small river ditch on the way.

It should be a trickle of water from the Burning Mountain Reservoir.

Su Yun wiped the mud off his body, revealing a slightly pale and tired face.

His clothes were still wet, but after brushing away some mud, they were clean and could barely be worn.

Just like that, Su Yun got up again and rushed down the mountain.

After walking for another hour or two, Su Yun estimated that it was almost nine o’clock.

He had no choice but to use up all the battery on his phone yesterday. The backup charger could not be used because of the short circuit due to the rain.

Until now, Su Yun had yet to contact anyone else.

“I wonder if Big Head Yang thinks that I was eaten by a wild beast in the mountains. Could he have called the police?”

“Forget it, what’s the point of thinking so much? It’s best to have a good sleep first after running around all night!”

After making up his mind, Su Yun threw his complicated thoughts to the back of his mind.

Unknowingly, Su Yun had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the gradually bustling road up the mountain, fishing men brought their equipment up the mountain one after another.

Su Yun was really exhausted. He simply stopped walking and sat on the curb. “Big Head Yang has to go up the mountain from here, right? I’ll wait for him here.”

Not long after Su Yun sat down, the cars on the mountain looked at him curiously.

Su Yun did not mind, but he did not expect these fishermen to tease him. “Yo, brother, you just came back from the East Ocean Dragon Palace, right?”

“Why? Did you fall into a ditch? Hahahahaha.”

Su Yun was not in the mood to care about these fisherman. He silently gave them the middle finger.

Su Yun’s attire was really miserable. His hair was messy and his face was pale. There was mud on his clothes and water dripping from his pants.

He was in a sorry state.

It was precisely because of everyone’s teasing that Su Yun’s side kept looking over, wanting to find out.

At the same time, not far from the curb.

Xu Jiajia, who was sitting in an off-road vehicle, was urging Xu Kui. She rebuked, “Dad, can you not pull a long face?”

Xu Kui held the steering wheel in his hand and looked straight ahead. “Hey, isn’t it because there’s something on Dad’s mind?”

Recently, Xu Kui was still investigating the whereabouts of that group of mercenaries, but he could not find any clues. Coincidentally, his daughter had something to do today, so Xu Kui drove Xu Jiajia over.

On one hand, it was to accompany his daughter. At the same time, it was to relax and observe if he could see any suspicious people along the way.

The current Xu Kui was more or less paranoid. This time, he had come out to try his luck and did not have much hope. He even began to suspect that this group of people had already left Hibiscus City.

Hm?

However, at this moment, Xu Kui’s eyes suddenly lit up. He realized that the cars on the mountain seemed to be looking in the same direction.

He immediately became vigilant.

Could there be a special situation?
