When he finally saw the destination so close, Yue Yue's eyes instantly burst into excitement and his whole body became radiant.
Gu Changmu, who was standing aside, naturally noticed this as well. He knew very well that after going through untold hardships, they were finally about to reach the end of this journey.
Looking up, there was a narrow cave in front of me, which could only accommodate one person.
After a brief thought, Gu Changmu turned to look at Yue Yue beside him and said softly, "Wife, the situation here is unclear. Let me go ahead and check it out. If it's safe, I'll come back and call you."
However, Yue Yue shook her head firmly and said, "No! We are husband and wife, we should face all difficulties and dangers together."
As she spoke, she took Gu Changmu's hand without hesitation and walked straight towards the cave with big strides.
Seeing this, Gu Changmu felt helpless, but knowing his wife's stubborn character, he could only sigh softly, then quickly moved in front of Yue Yue, opened his arms, and used his body to protect her behind him. In this way, the two of them walked into the cave carefully.
It didn't take long before they successfully crossed the entire cave.
But at this moment, the sound of gurgling water suddenly reached their ears. This made the two of them look at each other in surprise - who would have thought that there was a hidden stream in such a remote place?
Full of curiosity and doubts, they quickened their pace and followed the direction of the sound of water.
Soon, they arrived at the source of the sound. However, the scene before them shocked them - it turned out that there was a dead end ahead!
A clear spring cascaded down from the top of the cave entrance, gathering into a majestic waterfall at the bottom. The red line in Yue Yue's hand was now pointing straight toward the back wall of the cave beyond the water curtain.
Her eyes were fixed on the majestic waterfall, and she couldn't help but have a strong intuition in her heart - there might be another cave hidden behind the waterfall.
However, the surging and unstoppable water became an insurmountable chasm. How could they successfully reach the other side? This was undoubtedly a major problem facing them.
She took a deep breath and used all her strength to throw a stone in her hand towards the waterfall.
The stone shot towards the water like an arrow, but was slammed back by the rushing waves in an instant, as if it had encountered an indestructible wall of steel. Looking at this daunting scene, she couldn't help but feel bewildered.
At this moment, Gu Changmu, who had been observing silently nearby, suddenly made a discovery. After searching everywhere in the cave, he finally found a huge and heavy stone.
He gripped the stone tightly in both hands, his muscles tensed, and then, with all his might, flung it across the water. Like a cannonball, the stone, with a sharp gust of wind, pierced through the layers of water, landing accurately on the other side with a resounding, earth-shattering "pop."
Then came the sound of boulders rolling down, which lasted for a long time. Therefore, it can be determined that the space on the other side is very large and can easily hide many things.
At this moment, they were both very excited because it turned out that there was indeed a passage between the two sides.
As long as they can successfully cross this extremely dangerous water area, they will be able to find the precious treasures in the upgrade space that Yue Yue has been thinking about for a long time.
However, faced with such a powerful water flow, everyone was still helpless for a while.
After several hours of arduous trekking, both of them were exhausted both physically and mentally, so they decided to stop and rest for a while.
The moment the body stopped, the fatigue that had been ignored before quickly surged into my heart like a tide.
Their legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and every step was an immense effort. The soreness and numbness they hadn't felt during their long walks now tormented them even more.
After all, this is a plateau area, and the energy consumption from walking is different from that in other places. Recently, they have been riding horses or donkeys and have not done so much strenuous exercise.
But even so, they have not given up thinking about how to break through the current difficulties.
Yue Yue nimbly took out several extremely hard wooden boards from her space. Gu Changmu took the boards without hesitation and began the difficult installation work with Yue Yue.
Because the stone caves on both sides were located below the waterfall, the water flowed as fast as the roar of a wild beast. Every time they lifted the wooden board, it would be shaken by the surging waterfall.
Despite this, the two men gritted their teeth and tried their best, and finally succeeded in forcing the wooden boards to be installed above the stone caves on both sides. There happened to be raised areas on both sides, otherwise they would not know how to place them.
However, during this process, their bodies had already been thoroughly chilled by the icy cold water of the waterfall. Yue Yue knew that although these wooden boards could hold up temporarily, they probably wouldn't last long.
So, she made a prompt decision and took out a slightly larger wooden board from the space, and together with Gu Changmu, quickly placed it under the waterfall.
Then, they carefully stepped on the wooden board below, as if dancing on a tightrope, and passed through the caves on both sides at an extremely fast speed.
As they were walking, they heard a terrifying "crack" sound above their heads - the wooden boards above began to break!
