Chapter 448: Underground Huge Cave

While everyone in the cave was feeling anxious and panicking, the scene was different for Hong Dali.

At first, when he accidentally fell down into the hole, he was still very surprised, but he wasn’t worried very shortly after…

Because when he fell down, the System’s voice actually sounded—

“The Host is falling down from for a long-distance now. Because the Host has activated the survival side branch, the System shall adjust the Host’s life form…”

“Oh, wow.” Hearing this, Hong Dali’s eyes shone. “What kind of life form will I be adjusted into?”

Then, he got his answer very quickly.

First, his hands and legs started to soften quite obviously. Then, his stomach started to soften too, as if he was becoming a paper-man or a plasticine-man. It was like his whole body became boneless. Hong Dali squeezed his elbow in curiosity, and he managed to squeeze it into whatever shape he desired…

Then, the System’s voice continued: “Temporary life form change completed, please take a deep breath…”

“Oh, inhale air?” Hong Dali sucked in a deep breath—then, to his surprise, he became an air balloon, a human skin air balloon, and every part of his body become very round…

“Brouhaha!” Hong Dali laughed loudly. “This one is good, this one is good!”

Currently, his whole body was like an air balloon and he could barely see his legs and hands. All the body parts that were exposed outside all become round—a large balloon head, balloon neck, balloon arms, and balloon legs. It was as if he was made up of several dough parts pressed together. But whatever the case, his falling speed did indeed slow down.

“Oh my, this is awesome indeed…” He had already fallen for about 100 meters, but he still couldn’t see the bottom. Hong Dali didn’t have any solution too and could only slowly float down. Then, with a ‘PU’ sound, he finally landed. This wasn’t a soft landing, the air in him was all pressed out too. “OHHH—!!!” Because too much air was being squeezed out of him in a short time, Hong Dali actually flew up like paper and drifted in the air in a circle before finally safely landing down!

“The Host’s current condition is good now, life form shall be returned to normal.” After leaving these words behind, the System went quiet.

“Oh yeah, I am alive! Hahaha!” Hong Dali made a victory post and then touched around his body parts—there wasn’t even a scratch on him, that was really awesome!

After being happy for a while, Hong Dali started to take note of his surroundings—it was too dark, he didn’t manage to see anything…

“OK, I shall report my safety first.” Taking out his phone, Hong Dali thought for a while and directly dialed Tang Muxin. She was after all his fiancée, she must be very worried about him now. Hong Dali just hoped that nothing happened to her now.

The call got through very quickly and Tang Muxin’s words came out like a machine-gun. “Dali, is this you? You are alright, right? Where are you now? Are you OK? Hurry up and speak!”

“You asked so many questions in one shot, how am I supposed to answer?” Hong Dali grinned and said, “What could have happened to me? My luck is invincible, I don’t even have a scratch on me. If not, how would I have been able to call you?”

“It’s good that you are fine, that’s all that matters!” Tang Muxin was so excited that she instantly cried. “You big rascal, prodigal, did you know how worried I am for you. Sob sob sob, I was worried sick just now!”

“You must keep your calm when faced with such matters. If not, how can you accomplish great things in life?” Hong Dali humphed. “To be my fiancée, you must have verve! Verve! You must have a big heart!”

“Yes yes yes, whatever you say!” As long as Hong Dali was fine, everything else didn’t matter. Tang Muxin stopped crying, smiled, and said, “Dali, what’s your situation now? What must we do to rescue you back up?”

“Let me think…” Hong Dali touched his chin. “Ask Mo Mo how is that helicopter now. I am not sure where this place is too, just that it seems quite big…”

As he said that, Lin Chuyin’s voice came from the phone. This technological geek who didn’t have any emotional genes actually had an obvious emotional change in her voice now. She asked, “Oh, Dali, are you… Are you OK?”

“Haha, it’s Chuyin, right? I am fine, there’s no issue with my body. It’s just that this place is too dark, I can’t see anything here.” Hong Dali hurriedly asked, “Chuyin, do you have anything to help me out here?”

“Oh, as long as you are fine… that’s good.” Lin Chuyin paused for a while before saying, “I can use the remote control airplane to transport stuff down there. The hole that you fell into is very big, it’s large enough to allow a few remote control airplanes to go in together.”

“OK! Let’s do that, then!” Hong Dali laughed loudly and said, “Oh right, is the Bureau Chief OK?”

“Little rascal!” The Bureau Chief’s voice sounded. “You almost scared us to death. Just now Xinxin and Chuyin almost jumped in after you. Luckily, we pulled them back. If you dare to mistreat them in the future, I will beat you to death!”

Although Hong Dali seemed to be behaving quite carefree and mindlessly normally, he was very touched upon hearing the Bureau Chief’s words. However, he was a person who wouldn’t express what he felt. In the end, he only laughed and said, “I will be more careful next time, I definitely will be more careful!”

“This little rascal.” The Bureau Chief secretly wiped away his tears and said, “I’m glad that you are OK. Yup, tell us what you need down there and we will transport them down. Just speak the word, we will send them down!”

Hong Dali looked around at the dark environment and hurriedly said, “What I need the most now is lighting equipment. I can’t see anything now, there isn’t any light here at all!”

On top, the Bureau Chief started shouting, “Men, bring the best lighting equipment here, quick!”

Hong Dali thought for a while and said, “Just put the lighting equipment on a parachute and throw it down. Oh right, thrown the remote control airplane down too, plus a communication device. I will go take a look at what is down here and send you guys the images through the device.”

“OK! No problem, it will be prepared very quickly!” It looked like Hong Dali was indeed not injured. Everyone was finally relieved. Now that the danger had passed, their brains all started working again and their actions quickened up too.

By now, the workers had already brought in their best lighting equipment and communication device. Lin Chuyin directly connected them to the remote control airplane, tied it to the parachute and dropped it down.

This process was very fast. Just five minuted later, Hong Dali saw a ball of light dropping down from on top. He grabbed the remote control airplane as it got close and said into the communication device, “OK, I have received it. Then, I shall start the expedition now, haha!”

“Little rascal, you must be careful.” The Bureau Chief instructed him. “Your safety is priority. If you discover something, don’t be rash, you hear me!?”

“I know, I know. Don’t worry.” Hong Dali nodded and started shining the lighting equipment around.

The others on top all stared intently at the images depicted on the monitor.

The place that Hong Dali was at now was obviously a naturally formed tunnel. There wasn’t anything special around him, but there was a small stream nearby. Stalactites of all sizes hung above it. Overall speaking, it was quite similar to the stalactite cave where Big Turtle was found previously. There was only one path, so all Hong Dali had to do was just follow it.

Very quickly, after passing through a corner, the terrain started to slope downwards. But shortly later, Hong Dali discovered something different about this place. “I seem to be hearing something…” As he said so, he shone the equipment towards the wall beside him. The Bureau Chief was the first to discover something on the wall. “There’s something on the wall! It’s…” Very quickly, he was astonished. “This is the claw marks of an animal! God, how come these marks are so large!?”

There were indeed claw marks on the wall. From the marks, the claw seemed to be similar to that of a normal animal claw. However, the size was totally different. The claw mark was a foot long, a centimeter wide, and there were four claw marks. Obviously, it seemed to be the markings that an animal casually made.

“Little rascal, be careful, you must be careful!” The Bureau Chief continuously instructed him and said, “This is definitely a ferocious beast! To be able to leave such a deep mark on the wall, it’s definitely a ferocious beast! No, you should wait there on the spot first and wait for us to think of a way to get you back up first!”

“Relax, don’t worry.” Hong Dali grinned, totally ignoring his words. “I’m the animals’ best friend. Don’t worry, nothing will happen. I have a good relationship with animals!”

To be honest, it wasn’t easy for Hong Dali to die now.

Animals wouldn’t hurt him, natural disasters couldn’t harm him, and he was also protected by the survival ability. When he said that he would be fine, it was really true…

“O… OK.” The Bureau Chief also knew that this little rascal Hong Dali had a lot of secrets. Whatever the case, this fellow wouldn’t seek death. Since he dared to say that he would be fine, he probably had the confidence.

Therefore, they continued to stare at the monitor.

Very quickly, Hong Dali went past a corner again and shone the path ahead with the lighting equipment. Then, everyone was astonished…

This was a gigantic cave that was tens of meters high and as large as a football field! This cave was actually filled with large, green trees! The diameter of these trees was about five meters or so, and the leaves on trees were almost two to three meters long!

They had never seen such large trees before. Although there were some trees in nature that could grow to such a size, their leaves definitely wouldn’t be so big. However, the trees here were obviously different. These trees looked like Ginkgoes, but the size was totally different—the most strange thing was that these trees seemed to center in the middle of the cave!

“God, this… What is this thing!?” The Bureau Chief’s eyes stared straightly at something, his face almost touching the monitor. “Hong Dali’s luck, it’s really…”

Very obviously, there was something else in the middle of this large cave!
