Chapter Forty-Six: Surprisingly Smooth
Bai Zhou carefully bandaged Meng Shan's wounds, and the two turned their heads to look outside together.
"Is the cat gone?"
"I should be gone."
They had been hiding here for a long time and there was no movement outside, so they should have left.
"Shall we go out now, then?" Bai Zhou asked worriedly.
"Wait, I'm afraid it will go and come back.
This is the third cave, the two of us are so embarrassed, and we must preserve our strength in order to successfully reach the ninth cave. β
Bai Zhou felt that what Meng Shan said made sense, nodded, and waited quietly.
After a while, Meng Shan felt that the time was almost up, and said to Bai Zhou: "I'll go out and have a look first, and make sure that the cat is really gone, and then we will quickly ascend to the fourth cave." β
Bai Zhou nodded, "Okay, then you be careful." β
Meng Shan also explored the road before, although he has no martial arts, he is athletic, and he has a lot of ghost ideas, Bai Zhou believes him.
Sure enough, Bai Zhou waited for half an hour before Meng Shan came back.
"How?"
Meng Shan smiled: "It's gone, let's hurry up." β
Bai Zhou nodded happily, this puppet cat was indeed as impatient as Ah Shan said, they were just in the cave for a while, and the puppet cat couldn't find them and left spontaneously.
Leaving the small cave, Meng Shan and Bai Zhou didn't dare to stop for a moment, and quickly climbed up.
It is not wrong to say that this is the Nine Caves Mountain, which is full of large and small grottoes.
It is dark and damp, and all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants crawl all over the ground.
Meng Shan had been bitten on his feet with a lot of wounds, and if he hadn't had medicine on his body, he couldn't say whether he would have died of poison.
"This Nine Caves Mountain is really strange, we looked at it at the foot of the mountain and this is an ordinary mountain, but when we entered it, we immediately found that it was a damp grotto."
Meng Shan complained casually, his feet did not stop, and he climbed up quickly.
Bai Zhou nodded and said: "Indeed, when you see it from a distance, the trees and mountains are obviously normal, but we have all climbed to the third cave, and we haven't even seen a tree that grows taller." β
In addition to the rocks and caves around, there is a little green and greasy moss under your feet.
Not only do they have to watch out for elusive puppet cats, but they also have to watch out for poison under their feet and moss that can trip over them.
These Nine Cave Mountains, as expected, not everyone can climb them.
The color of the grottoes in each cave of the Nine Caves Mountain was slightly surprised, and Meng Shan touched the soil under his feet, twisting his eyebrows and thinking deeply.
The color seems to be getting darker and darker.
Then, Meng Shan turned back to Bai Zhou and said, "It should be almost to the fourth cave, let's hurry up." β
I don't know if it's his delusion, he always feels as if something bad is going to happen and he must leave the third cave as soon as possible.
Seeing his solemn expression, Bai Zhou also knew that the situation was urgent.
However, the plan could not keep up with the change, and when the two were about to ascend the fourth cave, an accident happened.
"Ah Shan, are you going to the fourth cave?"
"Uh-huh, it should have arrived."
"This is there?" Bai Zhou asked suspiciously.
Meng Shan nodded.
This is supposed to be the fourth cave, but it's too quiet.
In the first three caves, they were detected by the puppet cats stationed here almost as soon as they stepped on, and then they dodged and fled in all directions, otherwise they would not be so embarrassed.
But now, even if they were a little careful to trick the third puppet cat, they shouldn't have just made it all the way to the fourth cave unhindered.
"Ahsan, look!"
Meng Shan was hesitating when he suddenly heard Bai Zhou's exclamation.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Shan saw it in the direction Bai Zhou pointed to, and suddenly found that there were many traces of collapse on the ground.
"What's going on?"
Bai Zhou shook his head and said suspiciously: "It's not that the Nine Caves Mountain will collapse." β
This is the Nine Cave Mountain, not a nameless small mountain, even if all the mountains in the Kyushu Continent collapse, it is impossible for this Nine Cave Mountain to collapse.
As soon as Bai Zhou thought so, he suddenly felt a violent shaking under his feet.
He immediately exclaimed, "Ahshan! β
Meng Shan heard his call for help, and without thinking, he directly reached out and pulled him to turn around and leave the place just now.
"It's not easy to stay here, let's hurry.
Even if the Nine Caves Mountain collapses, we will have to climb to the Ninth Cave. β
"Okay."
Meng Shandu is so determined, where will Bai Zhou refuse.
Indeed, as long as they go to the top of the mountain, even if the Nine Caves Mountain collapses, with their predecessors here, they can still be safe.
Bai Zhou's opinion of Meng Shan once again improved in his heart.
Or Ah Shan is thoughtful.
The rocks under his feet kept slipping, but Meng Shan still endured the danger of being injured by the rocks and risked climbing the mountain.
Strangely, they never met a puppet cat along the way.
"Could it be that seeing us working so hard in vain, he secretly greeted his other eight brothers and asked them to let us go?"
Nine puppet cats, they also know one in vain.
When they first entered the mountain, the puppet cats were still eyeing them, but now none of them are gone.
This is too evil, isn't it?
Meng Shan's words had a lot of banter, and Bai Zhou naturally didn't take it seriously.
It's just that he is also curious, why is it so peaceful in the back.
But no matter what, he only cares about the result, so he is getting more and more excited now.
"It's the ninth cave ahead, and after the ninth cave, we can go to the seniors on the top of the mountain."
Meng Shan frowned dissatisfiedly when he saw Bai Zhou's eager look, it was because it was too smooth, he felt that something was wrong.
Obviously, there is the ninth cave in front of them, and as long as they successfully climb to the top again, they can enter the top of the Nine Cave Mountain.
However, Meng Shan, who had always had a firm belief, suddenly retreated.
He didn't really want to go to Cave 9.
After walking for a while, Bai Zhou found that Meng Shan behind him didn't follow, and he said happily: "Ah Shan, come up quickly, we will be able to meet our seniors soon." β
Meng Shan frowned, he felt that the ninth cave in front of him was like a terrifying abyss, as soon as they stepped in, they would be doomed.
"Ashan, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that he still didn't move, Bai Zhou had to turn around and come back, "Are you afraid, don't be afraid, aren't we about to succeed?" β
"But I always feel ......"
"You forgot, you said we're going to hold out to the top of the mountain no matter what.
No matter what happens, you can't back down.
You also said that you would do everything you could to get your seniors to take you as an apprentice.
Have you forgotten? β
"Besides, you're all in front of the ninth cave, are you willing to give up like this?"
Meng Shan paused and replied softly, "I haven't forgotten." β
"And what are you afraid of?"
"Whew~
Okay, let's go up. β
Bai Zhou was right, this was all at the door, if he left like this, he was unwilling.
Since he knew that he would be unwilling, let them go up and see what was in the ninth cave that made him so afraid.
