The Strongest Tycoon

Lin Fan was locked in a secret underground floor of this cave. Initially, he thought that it was a safe place.    

    

It was just a place that the locals were superstitious and afraid of. That was why it was called the Devil's Cave.    

    

He sat down and carefully thought about how to escape. According to the current situation, his situation was not very optimistic.    

    

The cage that locked him up was still alright, but it was made of wood. It was not impossible to break it open by force.    

    

However, even if he left the cage and left the passage above his head, he was still twenty to thirty meters away from the cage. Without ropes, he would not be able to climb up without his legs.    

    

This underground cave was very cold and damp. The rock walls were also covered with brilliant moss. There was simply no place to borrow strength from.    

    

Unless there was a rope hanging down, otherwise, one would not be able to go back the way they came.    

    

The rope that Lin Fan had used to descend had already been taken back by those natives.    

    

If they didn't go back the way they came, they would have to find another way out.    

    

Lin Fan raised his head and sighed as he looked at the vertical cave that was dozens of meters high above his head. After that, he widened his eyes and looked at the bottomless black tunnel ahead.    

    

He could pass through the tunnel ahead, but he was not familiar with the situation here. He didn't know if there was another way out.    

    

Perhaps it would be a dead end before long, or it would be a waste of time.    

    

However, under such circumstances, Lin Fan had no other choice. He could only try to explore the path ahead.    

    

If there really was a way out, it would be the best thing for Lin Fan.    

    

But before that, Lin Fan still had to think of a way to get out of the cage.    

    

Now, Lin Fan did not have any metal tools on him. The only thing he could use was a small knife that had been polished by the bones given to him by the natives in the tribe.    

    

Although it wasn't as good as a metal knife, Lin Fan had no other choice in this situation.    

    

At the very least, this knife was made from the bones of an unknown beast, and it was definitely much harder than a wooden cage.    

    

And it was also better than Lin Fan having nothing with his bare hands. It was indeed better than nothing.    

    

Lin Fan took the bone knife from his legs and started to cut the wooden cage bit by bit. Although the efficiency was not satisfactory, Lin Fan still cut the cage quickly and firmly.    

    

He was actually very anxious, although Zhou Caichen had hinted to him that he could be at ease and that there was a way to deal with the Mountain King.    

    

But how could Lin Fan be at ease? She was a girl facing an entire village by herself. If anything were to happen to her, there would be no room for negotiation.    

    

If the Mountain King really allowed Zhou Caichen to die, Lin Fan wouldn't even have the time to cry.    

    

He hadn't even had more intimacy with Zhou Caichen, how could he let a country bumpkin toy with him?    

    

Thinking of this, Lin Fan's subordinates increased the speed of cutting.    

    

However, the material of the bone knife was not good, and its speed was not satisfactory.    

    

Just as Lin Fan was trying his best to escape from the cage, he inadvertently found that the air in the cave, which was originally not flowing, had suddenly started to flow with a fishy smell.    

    

Lin Fan stopped what he was doing and pricked up his ears to listen carefully for a moment. He actually heard some almost undetectable movements coming from the depths of the cave!    

    

The cave was very quiet. The sound of Lin Fan cutting the wooden cage had caused a moderate disturbance in the cave. There were also some echoes, and it was somewhat noisy.    

    

When it became quiet, Lin Fan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and his ears had yet to react.    

    

He thought that he had heard something wrong. But in this strange environment, Lin Fan did not dare to relax his vigilance.    

    

He had hallucinations in his ears, but it wasn't to the extent that the smell he smelled was also an illusion.    

    

Lin Fan began to become alert, thinking, could it be that there are some animals living in the depths of the cave?    

    

Otherwise, where would the smell come from?    

    

However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was not possible. This kind of dark and damp cave did not seem to be suitable for animals to live in.    

    

"Is it a mouse?" Lin Fan muttered to himself.    

    

Unfortunately, the light from the oil lamp beside him was limited, so he could not see further.    

    

As the stench in the air became stronger and stronger, Lin Fan did not dare to move. This situation was not very good.    

    

It meant that there was something unknown that might be approaching him, but strangely, he could not hear anything at this time.    

    

Lin Fan bent down and squatted in the cage. His hand was tightly holding onto his only weapon, the small knife made of bone.    

    

Just like that, he focused his mind and became alert. It was as if the thing hiding in the darkness in front of them was no longer approaching. The two sides were in a stalemate.    

    

Lin Fan was more and more certain that something was approaching him. Not only was there a pungent smell lingering in his nose, it was also not dissipating.    

    

Lin Fan could even feel that the thing that was approaching him was right beside the range of his oil lamp. As long as he got closer, he would be able to see it. Lin Fan could see what it was.    

    

At this moment, Lin Fan recalled that this cave was a 'devil cave' that the natives were very afraid of. He didn't dare to relax.    

    

It was obvious that what the locals said wasn't baseless. This place was indeed filled with danger.    

    

However, although Lin Fan was nervous, he did not feel much fear in his heart.    

    

He was glad that he was still in the cage and did not go out. Although this wooden cage was not very strong, it could at least give Lin Fan a little bit of defense.    

    

The cave became quiet again. After a while, Lin Fan did not want to continue this endless confrontation.    

    

He didn't know what was coming from the opposite side. Lin Fan would soon feel tired as he kept his guard up and didn't relax at all.    

    

Therefore, Lin Fan decided to take action first. He quietly approached the oil lamp with his hand that was not holding the knife.    

    

In order to not alert the unknown person on the opposite side, Lin Fan's movements were very slow. It was almost impossible to tell that his arm was moving.    

    

After five to six minutes, Lin Fan's forehead was covered in sweat. His fingers finally touched the oil lamp.    

    

Then, at the speed of lightning, Lin Fan quickly pushed the oil lamp forward.    

    

The violent shaking caused the flame in the oil lamp to sway and shake continuously. Even the light in the cave swayed and made people dizzy.    

    

Lin Fan endured the discomfort of the light swaying and looked forward with his eyes wide open.    

    

Using the range of the light to extend forward a few dozen centimeters, Lin Fan widened his eyes in shock, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but tremble.    

    

He finally saw what was approaching quietly!
