The massive stone loomed closer.
At this moment, everyone else had already retreated into the crevices, leaving only Jiang Fan to sprint madly.
He had just passed the section of the path with an opening, and now Jiang Fan had no idea if there were any more openings around.
If he couldn't find an opening, Jiang Fan would surely perish.
"Jiang Fan!"
Zhou Niannian shouted his name loudly, but the sound of the rolling stones was so deafening that Zhou Niannian's voice was like an ant's squeak, completely inaudible.
Jiang Fan himself was frantically searching for an opening.
Just as despair was setting in, fortunately, after running for some time, another opening appeared before Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan quickly darted inside.
Although he had managed to hide, Jiang Fan was now at a bend in this corridor.
This meant that the stone would be smashing directly towards him.
Fortunately, as Jiang Fan was inside the opening, the stone would likely graze past him and then slide away from the side.
The others didn't know if Jiang Fan had managed to get into that opening.
Because this corridor had a certain curvature, others couldn't see if Jiang Fan had managed to hide after running.
Seeing Zhou Niannian constantly shifting her position, trying to see how Jiang Fan was doing, she didn't dare to stick her head out because the stones were about to come.
Moreover, even if she stuck her head out now, they wouldn't be able to see anything. The corridor was so dark that it felt like everyone's eyes were covered.
Besides the sound of the rolling stones, the only other sound was their own gasping breaths.
But their breaths were too quiet, long lost in the overwhelming noise of the rolling stones.
Coupled with the dust and smoke filling the air, everyone could see nothing around them, only knowing that the stones were about to roll in.
They only heard the sound of the stones, couldn't see their forms, nor the path ahead. They only knew they were hiding in a corner, seeing nothing.
Fear, like a demon, oppressed their hearts.
No one knew what had happened, or what was about to happen.
Fortunately, Jiang Fan was at a corner.
He could see relatively clearly.
"Are you all alright?"
After Jiang Fan hid in the corner crevice of the bend, he loudly called out to his companions.
When the other companions heard Jiang Fan's faint voice, they confirmed that Jiang Fan was still alive.
"I'm fine, I've already hidden."
Upon hearing Jiang Fan's voice, Zhou Niannian immediately responded.
Hearing her voice, Jiang Fan slowly breathed a sigh of relief. The other teammates then raised their voices, trying their best to be heard.
Fortunately, their cries were sharp, while the sound of the giant stone was muffled.
Only by shouting could they hear faint movements.
The accompanying cameraman, using the light of the fire, found a crevice and stood directly in it.
As the giant stone rolled down, it narrowly missed Jiang Fan and then struck violently in the crevice, causing the entire area to be filled with dust and smoke.
After seeing the 3D cinematic effect, the viewers felt as if the stone was right beside them, experiencing the despair of Jiang Fan and his companions.
"This is too terrifying, that stone felt like it hit me in the face, it scared me to death."
"Exactly, if I were there, I would have already wet myself from fear."
"Isn't that too exaggerated? Such a large stone, and so round. Could someone have deliberately placed it here?"
"Isn't that obvious? If it wasn't deliberately designed by someone, why would the stone suddenly roll down and nearly kill them?"
"It's possible not all of them survived even now. I couldn't hear anything, only the sound of rolling stones and occasional screams."
"Speaking of which, will the few of them be able to get out?"
Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast also held their breath, as even watching it on screen felt terrifying.
Let alone Jiang Fan and his companions who were on-site.
Facing the despair brought by the stone was not something ordinary people could endure.
Although such mechanisms were often seen in movies, encountering such things in reality was truly frightening.
Afterwards, they could no longer see the stone, only hearing its sound continuously approaching.
It seemed to have traveled a long distance, and no one knew what happened in between.
At this moment, Jiang Fan was still worried about more giant stones following behind, so he dared not act rashly as the sound did not diminish.
If another giant stone were to come at this time and they couldn't dodge it, things would get much worse.
After a long while, a loud bang echoed from the depths of the corridor.
With this loud bang, Jiang Fan slowly emerged from the crevice.
"Are you all alright?"
"The stones have stopped, you can come out now."
Upon hearing Jiang Fan's voice, the others gradually emerged.
Seeing that Jiang Fan was fine, Zhou Niannian finally breathed a sigh of relief, repeatedly patting her chest as if to calm her tense nerves.
"That scared me to death. I'm glad you're okay."
On the side, Dai Xiaomei was also making whimpering sounds.
Although it was unclear what she was saying, the general meaning was that she was scared by the recent incident with the stone.
The only one who remained relatively calm was Yao. Yao had also been extremely flustered upon seeing the giant stone.
Fortunately, they had now survived, with the four of them and Gun Gun.
"What should we do now? I don't know if more stones will roll down."
Zhou Niannian said to Jiang Fan with a tremble, her legs still shaking. The thought of the stone just now made her inwardly sweat.
Jiang Fan furrowed his brow, then thought seriously for a moment.
"I think I heard the stone hit a sharp corner just now."
"It hit a sharp corner and kept rolling. I suspect there are several indentations in this corridor."
"If we want to proceed, it's best to first figure out how we're going to navigate."
Upon hearing Jiang Fan's words, everyone looked dejected and seemed a bit lost.
They had no idea how to proceed from here.
