But before this speculation could continue, Zuo Chenxing interrupted him, asking if he wanted to continue climbing, saying he had already rested enough.
"Okay, let's go then. I'll tell Qiaoqiao and the others."
After taking the photos and getting some rest, Qiao Mei heard from Shu Qingqing that they were about to set off, so she quickly turned off her personal computer and continued climbing the mountain.
On the way up the mountain, I heard many tourists say that there are hot springs to soak in at the top.
This gave Qiao Mei even more motivation, because if she really had any hobbies in her past life, it would probably be soaking in hot springs.
However, she only likes to soak in the kind of hot springs that are completely natural. She is addicted to the feeling of enjoying extreme cold outside and extreme heat in the hot spring pool at the same time.
By the time I reached the mountaintop, it was already dark, and my legs were wobbling so badly they felt like they didn't belong to me anymore.
This resulted in her needing Ao Cang's help to enter the hot spring pool, which was extremely embarrassing.
Perhaps because Ao Cang is the Dragon God, he wasn't very tired. He not only looked the same as usual, but he was even more energetic.
Qiao Mei was filled with envy and jealousy. After her body went limp into the hot spring pool, she fell into a deep sleep.
Soaking in the hot spring shouldn't be too long. After Ao Cang stood behind her, acting as a human support, and let her sleep for almost twenty minutes, he woke her up and told her to get ready to take the express cable car down to the hotel to rest.
Qiao Mei hadn't rested well and didn't want to move at all.
Upon hearing this, she turned around and climbed onto Ao Cang's body like a koala, asking him to take her out to change her clothes.
To better enjoy the hot spring, Qiao Mei and Ao Cang chose a pool that recommended soaking without clothing.
Now that Qiao Mei was acting so coquettishly, the heat from Ao Cang's ears rushed to his face, making his entire face turn red.
At the same time, the golden dragon's pupils turned vertical, making it look extremely dangerous.
But Qiao Mei acted as if she didn't notice anything and waited patiently for Ao Cang to take her out.
It wasn't until a chill ran down her spine and she looked up to meet those golden eyes, which reflected her astonishment, that she belatedly realized the danger and tried to salvage the situation.
However, the wolf didn't give her a chance to mend her ways, and taught her a harsh lesson.
Fortunately, she took the cable car down the mountain instead of walking, otherwise Qiao Mei thought that Shu Qingqing and the others would have noticed something was wrong with her in such a state.
There was only one dim light in the cable car at night. The cable car wasn't very good quality, and a chilly wind was blowing in through the gaps in the doors and windows, making Qiao Mei extremely cold.
Fortunately, Ao Cang was there, a human furnace. As soon as he hugged her, all the chill was dispelled.
As the two waited together for the cable car to continue down the mountain, they did not notice that the cable car carrying them was experiencing a slight jam, and that some of the screws and connections suspending the cable car showed signs of coming apart.
This mark is gradually getting bigger as the cable car continues to descend.
It wasn't until Qiao Mei noticed something was wrong and the cable car was shaking violently that she realized what was happening and told Ao Cang about it.
Her familiar's superpower is lightning-based, so she has no way of conjuring anything metal-based to help the cable car fix its loose position.
Unfortunately, Shu Qingqing and Zuo Chenxing were of different elemental types – one was fire and the other water – so they couldn't be of much help.
As for the Wood element merchant Duojin, who had already descended the mountain, needless to say.
Everything happened so fast. The instant she opened the cable car door and shouted for help, the cable car carrying her and Ao Cang plummeted in a straight line. Zuo Chenxing only had time to make a water balloon to cover their cable car in order to minimize the impact. Then she watched helplessly as their cable car disappeared into the darkness at an extremely fast speed.
The serious accident terrified the tourists still on the cable car, who screamed and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
The news quickly reached the cable car management staff, who immediately called for a search and rescue operation to search for Qiao Mei and Ao Cang.
Shu Qingqing was so anxious she was almost crying. After telling Shang Duojin what had happened, Shang Duojin jumped out of bed and quickly contacted her sisters. At the same time, they rushed to the scene of the accident.
This level of accident hasn't happened in many years at Shizan Mountain, so it's attracting a lot of attention.
Upon hearing the news, Qiao Mei's mother and grandfather immediately boarded the Xu family's private aircraft and arrived at Shizan Mountain as quickly as possible, but by then it was already past 1 a.m.
As the first snow mountain on Orchid Star, Shizan Mountain covers a vast area. Finding Qiao Mei and Ao Cang in such a large area is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Unfortunately, starting in the early hours of the morning, the wind and snow intensified considerably, threatening to rage, which doubled the difficulty of the rescue operation.
Xu Hui's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she found it difficult to breathe.
Fortunately, Qiao Mei and Ao Cang were still able to locate the location using their smartwatches, which allowed them to know their exact location.
This undoubtedly gave everyone a glimmer of hope.
Shu Qingqing felt extremely guilty, and her stomach cramped with pain from the tension: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't said I wanted to come to Shizan Mountain, Qiaoqiao and the others wouldn't have encountered this. If something had really happened to them, I... I don't know what I would have done."
Zuo Chenxing handed her a new tissue and reassured her, "They shouldn't be in any trouble. Didn't I give them a water balloon to protect them from the impact? And it's all snow below. If the water balloon's cushioning effect is significant, then they shouldn't have any major problems."
But Zuo Chenxing forgot one thing: the water sphere's ability to defend against impacts is related to the thickness of the water sphere.
In addition, in such cold weather, if the temperature of a water polo ball is not adjusted in time, there is a high chance that it will turn into an ice polo ball.
Shu Qingqing was unaware of this either. After hearing his words of comfort, her tense mood eased a little.
Meanwhile, Qiao Mei and Ao Cang, who were the source of everyone's concern, had been lying in the snow for who knows how long.
As they plummeted down the cable car, Ao Cang and she frequently used their water-based superpowers to reinforce the water sphere that Zuo Chenxing had given them.
Unexpectedly, the water sphere quickly turned into an ice sphere. To melt it, it would require twice the power of the water-type familiars. Moreover, the cable car encased in the water sphere was so large that it would require even more mental energy.
To avoid being discovered, she also possesses water-type familiar superpowers, which she has rarely used.
This resulted in Ao Cang being the sole person responsible for the subsequent thawing and covering of the water sphere.
The fall was too high. During the descent, Ao Cang used a large amount of his followers' superpowers, plus some divine power, and his face turned pale at a visible speed.
