Chapter 252: Can we still enjoy the hot spring bath?
Li Xiang waved his hand to indicate that he understood.
"Please enjoy your meal." Chiba Xuexu bowed slightly and left briskly. Then he prayed in his heart, hoping that the guest would not be scared away.
Because before, whenever a guest checked in, they would receive threatening phone calls, and then they would check out.
Chiba Xuexu felt that this Chinese guest was quite mysterious, with a very attractive voice, tall and strong, and must not be timid, right? In addition, she felt that this Chinese man was quite upright, with clear eyes, without that kind of dirty and vulgar look, and did not harass her with words.
She was a beautiful young woman who brought him alone to such a private underground cave. He did not do anything to her, but waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.
"Oh, I was so focused on closing the deal that I forgot to register my ID. Forget it. I'll find out the customer's name when I get a chance."
"In fact, it's better not to register. If I don't register, the old man won't know that I have a guest here. He won't be able to get the guest's mobile phone number and won't make threatening calls to the guest."
Chiba Xuexi was filled with thoughts and emotions. She returned to her daughter's room, helped her daughter get dressed, and then washed her face and brushed her teeth.
"Mom, were there any guests coming just now?" one of the daughters asked in a childish voice.
"Yes, the customer ordered the most expensive private soup and booked it for five nights at once. The money has been paid. Mom will make you a delicious meal to celebrate in the evening."
"That's great, Mom." The two daughters jumped up and down excitedly.
Seeing his daughter's happy face, Chiba Xuexi couldn't help but feel refreshed and all his worries disappeared.
In the underground cave, Li Xiang gathered his spiritual power and checked. There were no hidden cameras in the room, so he closed the door, took off all his disguises, and walked into the hot spring naked.
I have to say, it's steaming hot here and it's very comfortable to soak in.
Previously, when the beautiful young proprietress introduced the types of hot springs, she had introduced this secret underground hot spring. The reason why Li Xiang chose this one was that, firstly, it would be convenient for him to use it to "escape underground" and explore the veins of Mount Fuji, and secondly, the beautiful young woman introduced it very attentively, and the design of this secret underground hot spring was also quite ingenious.
On the way here, the beautiful young woman introduced that there are 37 stone steps winding down from the entrance, corresponding to the altitude of Mount Fuji at 3,776 meters.
With every step down, the sulfurous smell from inside the mountain becomes stronger. The Japanese-style paper lanterns guiding the way cast distorted light and shadows on the damp rock walls, as if the sleeping pulse of Mount Fuji is beating between the cracks in the rocks.
Deep in the cave are some fluorescent mineral bands, forming beautiful patterns, and ice crystals condensed from hot spring steam float in the blue-green light.
There is indeed an electric light downstairs, but the beautiful young woman does not recommend turning it on. She suggests keeping the environment dim, which will create a better atmosphere.
In fact, Li Xiang has the ability of night vision, and nothing can escape his sight.
However, his night vision ability can also be put away.
Li Xiang took off all his clothes and soaked in the hot spring pool, looking around. The hourglass by the pool used volcanic gravel formed by the eruption of Mount Fuji to keep time and prevent guests from soaking for too long.
Because the soaking time is too long, most people can't bear it.
But Li Xiang was naturally not afraid. No matter how long he soaked, nothing would happen.
The water has a strong smell of sulfur, but it is not unpleasant. After being filtered through the cave moss, it is transformed into a metallic aroma similar to a mixture of aged cypress and cold iron, which is quite pleasant.
There are stalactites hanging above the hot spring pool, like a frozen waterfall. Drops of water condensed at the tip fall into the hot spring pool, triggering a slight but pleasant strange echo.
The bottom of the pool is covered with fragments of volcanic glass, whose edges have been polished into round shapes by centuries-old spring water. Stepping on each fragment gives a tingling sensation similar to acupuncture point massage.
In addition to the dripping stalactites on the top of the cave, boiling milky white sulfur springs also seep out from the cracks in the rock walls, forming a spiral temperature difference layer in the pool with the artificially introduced cold springs.
Li Xiang's upper body felt like it was bathed in morning mist, and his lower limbs felt like they were sinking into lava. Only those who have experienced it personally can understand that feeling of comfort.
"This place is really nice. But the humidity is too high. If you stay here, most people will get rheumatoid arthritis, right?"
Li Xiang soaked for about an hour, then stood up and dried his body. Then he went to the guest room not far away, closed the door, turned on the air conditioner, and felt okay. Because the air conditioner will be very dry if it is turned on for a long time, and the mist in the hot spring pool outside is just like a natural humidifier. He couldn't help but feel that his previous thoughts were too much.
Li Xiang put on his clothes, covered his body with the Giant Whale Holy Armor, and an earth-yellow light rose from his body. He performed the "Earth Escape Technique" and sank into the bottom of the cave. After circling around, he headed towards Mount Fuji.
This underground private hot spring is indeed a natural hot spring. Li Xiang has just found out its origins. It is connected to the underground water system of Mount Fuji. Because it contains hydrogen sulfide, the acidic hot spring water inhibits the growth of microorganisms. Therefore, this natural hot spring does not need to be disinfected with chlorine.
"Yukio no Yado" is actually a bit far from the main peak of Mount Fuji. As the saying goes, "You never see a mountain before you run it." Although Mount Fuji looks very close, it is estimated to be at least thirty or forty kilometers away.
This is still relatively close, there are many hot springs that are farther away.
In fact, being able to enjoy the main peak of Mount Fuji at an altitude of 3,776 meters while soaking in the hot springs is enough to explain the distance. If you are really in the mountain or at the foot of the mountain, you can't see it at all.
Li Xiang burrowed down close to the ground and sometimes entered the lake. There are five large lakes around Mount Fuji, known as the Fuji Five Lakes. The scenery of each lake is superb and they are barrier lakes formed by the eruption of Mount Fuji.
Li Xiang didn't know which lake he was in. He would occasionally pop his head up to check the direction, so as to avoid going in the wrong direction or going too far.
Earth escape was still too slow, so Li Xiang emerged in an empty place. After thinking for a while, he decided to walk on the road, where the vision was good. With a flash of his body, he arrived at the main peak of Mount Fuji in a moment.
A few bats flew and disappeared into a cave. Li Xiang's eyes lit up, and then he followed the direction and moved over.
The entrance to this bat cave is relatively small, and a long section inside is relatively narrow. If it were him before, it might have been a bit difficult to get in, but now that he can burrow into the ground, there is no obstacle at all.
When he came to the depths of the cave, he couldn't help but be amazed.
It's a different world inside and it's quite warm. Although it's a freezing winter outside, it's warm and humid like spring inside.
There are many mosses and ferns growing on the rock walls, forming their own ecosystem and emitting fluorescence.
There are also geothermal resources here, and the inverted stalactites are filled with vampire bat nests, so densely packed that no one knows how many there are.
As soon as Li Xiang came in, the system's prompt "Mutated creatures detected" kept popping up. In other words, when the end of the world came, these bats were protected by the special veins of Mount Fuji, and they survived and mutated in large numbers.
Li Xiang took out the "Black Iron Mountain-Pulling Stick". This big stick had an extraordinary property of "vibration" and could generate powerful ultrasonic waves, making it the best choice for hitting bats.
But as soon as Li Xiang got the stick, he suddenly laughed at himself. Why use a stick to harvest bats nowadays? It is too inefficient.
It is daytime now, and most bats have returned to their nests to sleep. This cave in the mountain is winding and tortuous, with some places being large and some places being small. It is unknown how large its area is. Harvesting it with sticks is a job that only oxen and horses can do.
His whole body was glowing with an earthy yellow light, and he snorted softly: "Go to hell!"
Driven by the earth-based supernatural power, the cave began to collapse.
The huge noise caused the entire Mount Fuji to tremble, and nearby towns and some monitoring stations were shocked. Was there an earthquake? Or was Mount Fuji about to erupt?
Mount Fuji is an active volcano. Although the last eruption was in 1707, there is no telling when the next eruption will be. Maybe today?
Many people were trembling with fear and ran outside in a hurry.
Some people who were naked and soaking in the hot springs felt the vibration of the earth veins and the surging of the spring water. They were so scared that they ran outside naked and froze in the snow until their skin turned black and purple.
But the instigator, Li Xiang, was extremely happy. He chuckled in the belly of Mount Fuji. Just from this cave, he gained more than 200,000 achievement points, more than 5,000 spiritual medicines, and two extraordinary items, but the rank was not high, they were two small daggers engraved with exquisite silver patterns. The quality was similar to the White Fang dagger.
Mount Fuji is actually quite large, covering an area of about 1,200 square kilometers. In addition to the main peak "Jade Fan", it is also called "Hibiscus Peak", "Fugaku" and "Fuji Kou Ling", and there are eight other large peaks around it.
That is the "Eight Peaks of Fuji": Kenpo, Hakusan-dake, Kusushi-dake, Ōinchi-dake, Izu-dake, Akihigashi-dake, Koma-dake, and Mitsudake.
Li Xiang searched in these mountains, clearing out one bat cave after another.
Then, the residents of the surrounding towns suffered miserably, especially those who were soaking in hot springs. After soaking for a while, they suddenly realized there was an earthquake and ran out in fear.
After a while, it calmed down and I thought it was fine, so I went back to soak. But not long after, the ground and the spring water began to vibrate slightly again...
Oh my god, how can I bear this? How can I enjoy taking a hot spring bath? I am so scared.
Many people ran in and out naked and caught colds and sneezed constantly. The business of many hot springs was affected.
Chiba Yukio's private bathhouse is close to Mount Fuji, so the vibration was quite obvious. However, she didn't have many customers to begin with, and had been closed for half a month for rectification. Today was the first day of opening, and there was only Li Xiang.
"I wonder what happened to that gentleman? Should I go check on him?" After the first "earthquake", Chiba Xuexiong became worried, and bravely went in to disturb the place. He pressed the doorbell for a long time but no one answered, so he gritted his teeth and got the key. However, when he went in, no one was there.
"Did the guest go out at some point?"
"That should be it. Maybe I didn't notice it because I went to the bathroom just now."
Chiba Xuexu saw Li Xiang's dirty clothes thrown into the dirty clothes basket, so he took them out to wash, including Li Xiang's underwear and socks.
The guest's dirty clothes are here. He must have gone out for fun instead of leaving without saying goodbye. Moreover, Li Xiang paid for it first.
