Yao wasn't one for many words, but after witnessing this scene, he couldn't help but start to complain.
Gungun, however, looked wronged, his body constantly shaking in the opposite direction, trying to wiggle free.
But it seemed to be no use. In the end, if it weren't for Jiang Fan and Yao putting all their strength into it, Gungun would have probably been stuck there for a while longer before getting out.
"Oh, I was so scared, I thought you disappeared. Thankfully, you just got stuck here."
Zhou Niannian walked over and patted Gungun's arm.
The fluffy fur had also been squeezed into a flat board by the earlier pressure.
At this moment, Gungun was also constantly grooming its fur, trying to make it fluffy again. Just then, Jiang Fan and the others walked for a while longer and suddenly discovered a glimmer of light not far ahead.
Without hesitation, they ran towards that direction.
Seeing the light, the others also did not stop their steps.
However, when they saw Jiang Fan's figure, they looked at him with disbelief.
Jiang Fan was seen squatting in front of a flame, with a look of disdain on his face.
"What's going on? Why hasn't this thing gone out yet?"
The surroundings were clearly very damp, but this flame seemed to be untouched by the mud, still burning in such a humid environment.
Moreover, if it had been preserved for a long time, Jiang Fan couldn't guess how it managed to burn for so long.
However, at the same time, Jiang Fan also saw a large door behind the flame.
Slowly opening the door, Jiang Fan discovered it was not a palace or a castle, but just a dwelling.
Looking at the supplies around, they didn't seem to be food left by modern people.
Because what was hanging on the walls were completely dried meats and some fruits and vegetables.
However, what was unbelievable was that these foods had not rotted despite being hung there for a long time.
"This shouldn't be. Why would such a strange thing appear? And if someone really lived here, where did that person go?"
Just as Jiang Fan was looking on in disbelief, Zhou Niannian beside him seemed to have found a hole.
"You guys, come and see what this is!"
After Zhou Niannian said this, Jiang Fan did not hesitate to follow the direction of the sound.
Fortunately, it wasn't too dark here, allowing Jiang Fan to quickly find Zhou Niannian.
Seeing Zhou Niannian squatting on the ground, fiddling with a hole, Jiang Fan also curiously squatted down.
"Do you feel a breeze coming from inside?"
Jiang Fan reached his hand into the opening of the hole and then tested Zhou Niannian's idea.
As expected, a cool breeze seemed to be blowing out of this pit, and this breeze was surprisingly cold.
Jiang Fan's nose twitched slightly, as if he was following a scent.
As Jiang Fan followed the direction of the scent, he discovered that the blowing wind was the main source of the smell.
"Why is this smell so familiar?"
Jiang Fan closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened them wide.
"Not good! Run!"
Upon hearing this, everyone did not hesitate and prepared to run outside. But at this moment, the door was suddenly closed, and the candles around lit up.
"What's going on? Why can't we get out? Gungun, kick it!"
Jiang Fan gave Gungun a look and then shouted. Gungun rushed forward and kicked the door.
But what was unbelievable was that the door was made of steel, and an ordinary kick couldn't break it.
"What's going on? Jiang Fan, what happened?"
Gungun was still kicking the door, while Yao, with a puzzled look, walked over to Jiang Fan.
"There's natural gas leaking over there, which is why the food inside didn't spoil. Bacteria can't survive in an environment rich in natural gas."
Hearing this, Yao didn't say a word. His pupils gradually dilated, and he grabbed his knife and started hacking at the door, without any unnecessary words.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan also picked up his fire axe and madly hacked at the steel door.
But despite their best efforts, they couldn't budge the door an inch.
Instead, their hands were already hurting from the impact.
At this last moment, Yao fiercely slashed his knife at the steel. A crack appeared in the steel, but along with the crack, sparks appeared between Yao's knife and the steel.
In an instant, the sparks didn't extinguish but ignited a fire in one direction.
The entire room seemed to slow down, and everyone looked in disbelief as the flame shot towards the opening of the hole.
Jiang Fan did not hesitate to pick up a nearby iron table and shield everyone. Gungun immediately came forward to assist.
In an instant, the entire room let out a violent roar.
This was the sound produced by the natural gas from the deepest part of the hole being ignited.
Jiang Fan closed his eyes, furrowed his brows, and then a powerful force pushed them all outwards.
Gungun also protected everyone with its body.
At this moment, a burnt smell emanated from Gungun. Fortunately, only its fur was slightly scorched, and its body was unharmed.
Just then, the table that had shielded them from the blast slipped from Jiang Fan's grasp, as they were already blown into the air.
Everyone was seen shouting in despair.
Then, the group was propelled back in the direction they had come from.
"Grab me! Zhou Niannian."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Niannian immediately grabbed Jiang Fan beside her, hugged him tightly, and then closed her eyes, burying her head in Jiang Fan's chest.
On the other side, Dai Xiaomei was held by Gungun, and Yao also tightly held onto Gungun's arm, not letting go.
The only ones separated from Gungun were Zhou Niannian and Jiang Fan.
The height wasn't too great, only about two or three stories, but the distance they were propelled was incredibly far.
In just a blink of an eye, they seemed to have returned to their original spot.
They were initially relieved to have landed on the grass, but unexpectedly, the two groups of people directly crashed onto the small boat.
