Hearing the tsundere boy talk about it, I naturally won't treat it lightly.

So, my eyes couldn't help but focus on his back after he spoke.

"Xiaoling, I'll tell you the truth, I'm already aware of it."

"Since entering the passage, the altitude has changed."

The young man said in a serious tone: "At first, it was near the water, and the position was relatively high. ”

"It seems to be a lower position right now."

I still don't quite understand what the eldest young master means, what does he mean?

I'll put the height change aside, how did he know about it?

With doubts in my mind, I subconsciously said, "How do you know?" ”

I first looked around, then I withdrew my gaze and glanced at the boy in front of me.

"Young Master, you didn't compare, where did you come to your conclusion?"

I stared at him suspiciously.

He didn't make eye contact with me as he walked, but I'm sure he could hear what I was saying.

"Xiaoling, it's experience." The boy replied succinctly.

Well, that's a powerful statement, and it sounds like a good reason.

The tsundere boy's ability to survive in the wild is much stronger than mine.

According to his own words, it is the level that the people of the Yuwen family have reached through their training, and ordinary people can't imitate it, and they don't have that condition.

Compared to me, who dragged his feet from time to time in his eyes, the ability of the eldest young master was indeed far above me.

I can't compare him to each other, because the gap is obvious.

Uncle Yuan, who was walking in front, said in a low voice: "The road section here is unfamiliar, so slow down." ”

This sentence seems to be said to us, but I know that the uncle mainly said it to the tsundere boy.

Because among the three, when it comes to speed, the teenager is the fastest.

Not only me, but Uncle Decrepit can't keep up with the speed of the teenager, I believe that he is willing to go ahead, and there are also considerations in this regard!

After thinking about it, I asked, "Does the topography of the passage have a big impact on us?" ”

"I don't know, I'm going to keep walking."

The boy replied calmly, and then turned his head to look at me.

He didn't explain to me the details of the basis for his judgment, he just mentioned it as a reminder.

Or maybe you just want to find an opportunity to say a few words to ease the awkward atmosphere before.

A thought flashed through my mind, and it didn't take long for me to confirm it.

The young man paused for a moment, only the footsteps of the three of us in the passage, he walked in front of me, and couldn't help but continue: "Xiaoling, why don't you speak?" ”

Could it be that in his opinion, if I know some information, I will have a whole lot of questions? Or did he think the topic would be of interest to me?

The problem was that I was distracted, and my mind was all about something else, not thinking deeply about what he was mentioning.

"Young Master, didn't you listen to what Uncle said?"

I retracted my thoughts and said to him, "Uncle said that this road is beyond the scope of his exploration, shouldn't we be more vigilant." ”

I also reminded him, "It's better to focus on the road conditions." ”

I thought to myself, at first, the boy and I found clues, hoping to find out what happened.

Including the group of mysterious people who appeared in the middle of the night in the mountain village.

Because among them were the guards of the tea plantations I had seen.

After I discussed with the boy, the location of the two of them planned to go was deep in the mountains to the northeast compared to Nanhua Town.

Because it was the first time I returned to this area, I didn't know the situation here, so I could only walk and see.

Even if it's the guards under Senior Brother Black, those guards who are out on errands and doing a lot of tasks, I think they can only adapt if they get here.

Let's adjust the way to deal with it in time!

Do the math, it took more time to get to the mountains than I expected.

From the time we stayed in the mountain village to the present, we have spent a lot of time walking deep in the mountains.

Of course, there is more than one reason, there is a complex relationship between the terrain, there are people delayed on the way, and so on.

I don't have that much sense of orientation in the first place.

Right now, the three of us are walking in a makeshift group of cave passages, where we have to prepare our own lighting.

To be honest, I can't figure out where I'm heading right now, and I don't have the tools in my baggage to use as a reference.

I had a rough idea that we were going all the way to the northeast.

I guess the next exit would be closer if it was to the Northlands.

I wanted to ask the tsundere boy a few times, and I wanted to confirm with him, but it seemed that some miscellaneous things were interrupted.

I want to mention it now, but I'm worried about his mouth!

I'm worried that he can't help but make fun of me.

I looked hesitantly at his back, pressed down on what I wanted to say, and continued to walk in silence.

I thought back to what the boy had said, and I remember looking down on the valley when I was on the cliff, and I was a little afraid.

At that time, I felt that my position was too high, as if it was hanging in the air.

This is viewed from the point of view of vertical drop.

What is the height of the valley that the boy mentioned to me at the moment compared to the cliff we came down from?

If I wanted to think about it, I really wanted to ask him carefully, but I also knew what he meant, and this was not what he wanted to talk about.

He used this topic to find a reason to divert something else, it was an excuse.

Anyway, no matter how I listen to it, I think the tone of the eldest young master sounds completely different from the state we were walking in the passage before.

It started with the scene of being misunderstood by the uncle.

The group of people we used to be tracking targets don't know where they are at the moment?!

Thinking about it in my heart, I unconsciously wandered again.

When I reacted, I almost got into the same embarrassing situation because I tripped under my feet.

Luckily, I was quick to react this time, and I didn't trip even without help.

The two people walking in front of me still heard my movements, and in the quiet passage, a little loud sounded too obvious, especially the sound from behind, which was even clearer.

The boy turned around, and Uncle Decrepit also looked in my direction.

In the next second, the young man immediately approached me, he glanced at me, then looked at me from head to toe, and then teased: "Xiaoling, do you want to fall a second time?" ”

His eyes and his words are simply true!

I didn't look at him, but my attention was drawn to the uncle in front of me, because he was a bystander!

I think he's going to have something in mind.

I didn't get much in the way of the tsundere boy who was convulsing alone, but uncle, who knows what he would think!

Please! Even if I don't mind anymore, I don't want to play out a second time.

But what the arrogant young man said made people misunderstand more, so that those who heard it couldn't help but associate it.

It took me a moment to suppress my anger, waved my hand at my uncle, and said, "It's okay, let's keep going." ”

When is this passage a head, even if you can't fall like this, you will have to suffer internal injuries!

There was a faint sound of water ahead, and when I looked up, I felt that the light around me seemed to be a little brighter.

I can tell that naturally it is not relying on the relationship of the night pearl in the hands of the young man.

Hearing the voice, except for the somewhat confused uncle, I showed a happy expression at the same time as the tsundere boy.

Could it be that there is an exit ahead? That's great!

I suddenly felt a power of rejoicing!

I looked at the boy and urged him repeatedly, "You have to go faster, there seems to be an exit!" ”

In stark contrast to our euphoria, Uncle Decrepit not only did not speed up, but stopped.

Uncle Decay walked in front of us, the passage was not big, and as soon as he stopped, even if the people behind him wanted to be fast, they couldn't go fast, so they could only stop with him.

"What's wrong? Uncle! ”

He stood in the passageway, looking thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.

I noticed his emotions and immediately asked, "Uncle, is there a problem ahead?" ”

"Kobayashi, I have a rough impression," he turned his head to look at me, paused and continued, "I probably have a bit of time to walk after we entered the cave, but I thought about it, it seems that I shouldn't have heard the sound of water in this place." ”

I realized that I finally had a little breakthrough!

This time, the uncle took the initiative to mention his past experience, even if it was just an impression.

I couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle, are you saying that the sound of water similar to an exit came from ahead, and it appeared too early?" ”

"That's right, that's what it means." Uncle immediately replied to me.

"Anyway, when I came back, I remember walking longer, longer."

Uncle Decay's tone was definitely authentic.

"However, there are indeed some differences," I said in a gentle tone, "I remember that ditch appeared in front of you, and you almost fell down, didn't you say that you didn't have the one you came here before?" ”

Another thought flashed through my mind, and I turned to look at Uncle Decline and said, "Where we walked, there are villages where we encountered mudslides!" ”

I groaned for a moment and continued, "In the past, it was probably a place where mountain people lived well. ”

"Uncle, as soon as the earthquake comes, let alone a few more ditches, it is possible that the whole mountain will collapse."

As I spoke, I paused again, lowered my head and thought about it.

In particular, a large earthquake can be so powerful that it can change the topography of a place.

The road that was originally repaired may have been interrupted or blocked by rockfalls rolling down from the mountain, and the road may be cut off and become impassable.

If you want to take a break, you may have to take a different route!

On my way from Suzhou to Nanhua Town, didn't I encounter the scene of the mountain stream surging and washing away the bridge on the stream?

At that time, I followed the people of the dart board to complete the task of building a temporary bridge together, and also treated the injured people in the dart board!

I looked at Uncle Decline and said, "Actually, it's not strange, you haven't been here for about five years, right?" ”

Uncle didn't answer me, and acquiesced to my statement.

"I wonder if there were other earthquakes in between."

I have not been in Sealand for a long time, and the speed of this world depends on human beings and vehicles and boats.

It takes a lot of time to get from one place to another.

This means that neighboring countries that are separated by each other may not know what is happening here.

However, since Uncle Decline has been living in Nanhua Town, even if he understands it intuitively, the news will also spread to the town, and the distance is not far!

I think he should know if there have been any major disasters in the past few years.

Who knew that after I finished speaking, the guy was in a trance for a moment and didn't respond to me.

The tsundere boy didn't have so much patience, so he couldn't help but think about my train of thought and said, "Xiaoling, why are you talking so much?" ”

"Just go and see if it's an exit or not, so why waste time here."

After provisional deliberation, the three reached an agreement.

Because of the experience of falling into a trap and almost dying in a deep ditch, this time the uncle's pace was obviously very slow, and he was very cautious when walking.

His cautious approach to walking on thin ice infected my emotions and diluted the joy I felt at the beginning that I might find an outlet.

As we walked slowly, the passage became a little brighter, and the sound of the water sounded louder, as if there was a waterfall in front of us.

When we finally approached the light, the three of us stopped in unison.

Moved forward a little, and a cold wind blew in front of me.

It was as if we had been walking in the cave passage for a while, and by this time we realized that the temperature was even lower outside.

There was a waterfall in front of us, but there was no way to keep it underneath.

The passage ahead is like a black hole, which can be seen through the waterfall.

The waterfall here is wider than the deep ravines we have encountered before.

There is still a cliff at the bottom, and the bottom of the cliff is a deep pool, and the terrain is dangerous, so it looks very unsafe.

The mountain breeze was blowing, and the boy stared ahead for a moment, and then he had turned his gaze back to look at me.

"When I came back, there really wasn't this waterfall," Uncle Decay was the same as me, and both pairs of eyes were still staring ahead.

"Well, I believe what you said," my gaze fell on the uncle's face, and after a moment of thought, I continued, "As I said earlier, the terrain of this place can be expected. ”

"I don't know far away, but this recent earthquake has even delayed the war in the Northland!"

I paused and concluded, "You can imagine the magnitude of this earthquake from this." ”

"The situation is here, young master, you can talk about suggestions now, what do you think we should do?"

If you want to keep walking, it seems that there is only one option left at the moment, and that is to get past the waterfall in front of you.

Because there is a passage on the opposite side, but the pool at the bottom of the cliff looks bottomless, and the drop is too big.

Looking at the bottom of the cliff, there is no fork in the road, and the almost vertical cliff is very dangerous to go down.

Comparatively speaking, it is better to cross the waterfall.

I knew that the Tsundere Boy's personality was similar to me in some ways, and I thought he would think the same way as me.

He would rather try to walk than turn back and go the same way without any ups and downs. (To be continued.) )
