Chapter 91 Hidden Mission
Qin Jiu then asked, "Could it be that several people pushed it over together?"
Chen Leying shook her head: "That's even more impossible. If the other side has more people, why not just fight us head-on and kill us? Why resort to this method? It's time-consuming and laborious, and we might even have to escape."
Qin Jiu scratched her head in frustration, utterly puzzled: "So, how exactly did this giant rock appear? It couldn't have just appeared out of thin air, could it?"
None of the three had any idea what was going on with the huge rock that had suddenly appeared and blocked the entrance to the cave.
Qin Jiu didn't want to sit and wait for her death, so she rolled up her sleeves and tried to push the boulder with all her might, but even though her face turned red, the boulder didn't budge.
She slumped against the stone wall, slumped over: "We're not going to be trapped here forever, are we?"
Meng Qingyin appeared calm and composed: "Don't worry, we'll definitely get out of here."
Qin Jiu knew she was trying to reassure the troops, so she cooperated by giving a forced smile: "That's right, there's always a way out. We can't give up too soon."
Despite saying that, the expression on her face was quite the opposite.
Chen Leying didn't say anything, she just kept fiddling with her watch.
A moment later, she looked up at Meng Qingyin and said, "I had someone use a summoning card on me just now, but it didn't work."
Meng Qingyin was also looking at her watch, seemingly ignoring what she was saying.
Qin Jiu sighed, "Even summoning cards didn't work? This mine is too strange... no wonder they said it was dangerous."
Chen Leying received no response from Meng Qingyin, so she had to say to Qin Jiu, "It's already dark outside, but there are no Night Demons within a 50-kilometer radius."
Qin Jiu asked in confusion, "Night Demon? What's that?"
Chen Leying: "It's a monster in the darkness."
Qin Jiu gritted her teeth: "So the monster that bit my butt was the Night Demon!"
She suddenly frowned, staring at Chen Leying: "How do you know the monster's name? And how do you know there are no monsters around? And how do you pinpoint the exact distance to fifty kilometers?"
Chen Leying didn't answer the question, but glanced at Meng Qingyin, who was staring intently at her watch, and asked, "Did you hear what we said?"
Meng Qingyin's attention was entirely focused on the management group at that moment, and she didn't hear what Chen Leying and Qin Jiu were saying at all.
[Pheasant: Cluck cluck cluck cluck! It seems the evil humans are trapped in a mine! The Chicken God has finally opened his eyes!]
[Honey Badger: Pheasant, you're such a coward! Either have a fair fight with #666, or you're always secretly cursing her behind her back—that's not manly behavior!]
【pheasant:……】
[Azure Wolf: Exactly, Pheasant, you need to learn to be more magnanimous.]
[Pheasant: Hmph, you weren't the ones who almost got caught and roasted, so of course you can stand there and make sarcastic remarks!]
[White Fox: Pheasant, you're celebrating too soon. There is a way out of that mine.]
[Pheasant: I don't believe it! How could three humans possibly move such a huge boulder? Impossible, absolutely impossible!]
[White Fox: They don't need to move the boulder. They can leave once they complete the hidden quest to "rescue the pangolin."]
[Pheasant: Are there pangolins in the mine? If they're pangolins, don't they dig burrows? Why do they need to be rescued?]
[White Fox: You're asking too many questions. I don't want to answer them.]
[Pheasant: Fine, the feelings have faded.]
【arctic fox:……】
There was no activity in the group chat, so Meng Qingyin silently closed it.
When she looked up, she met Chen Leying's slightly dissatisfied gaze.
Meng Qingyin paused before saying, "We didn't even use summoning cards? How are we supposed to get out then?"
Chen Leying scoffed and turned her head away.
Meng Qingyin looked at Qin Jiu, puzzled, "What's wrong with her?"
Qin Jiu explained, "Boss, you really didn't hear what we just said?"
Meng Qingyin: "So, what did you two talk about just now?"
She only overheard Chen Leying saying that summoning cards were useless, and then she was looking at the management group, so she didn't really pay attention to what the two of them were saying.
"Boss, your mentality is truly amazing," Qin Jiu gave a thumbs up, "You're in a real crisis and still clueless."
Meng Qingyin: "..."
At this moment, only one sentence can describe her current feelings: "I am speechless and cannot defend myself."
How is she going to tell these two people about the hidden mission to "rescue the pangolin"?
After much deliberation, Meng Qingyin decided not to act rashly for the time being. Since she already knew how to get out, she would quietly look for clues on her own.
If she can't find it, then find a way to reveal the hidden mission to Chen Leying and Xiao Jiu.
As her thoughts raced, Meng Qingyin made a decision.
Qin Jiu also repeated the discussion she had just had with Chen Leying about the Night Demon.
After speaking, she looked at Meng Qingyin with a dry mouth and said, "That's the situation, what do you think, boss?"
Meng Qingyin: "..."
Um?
Are there any Night Demons nearby?
She looked at Chen Leying and asked, "Have you encountered this situation before?"
Chen Leying didn't really want to talk to her, but for the sake of the bigger picture, she still said, "Never. Every night before, I could sense that there was always a Night Demon around the vehicle."
Qin Jiu interjected, "Could it be because we're in the mine, and the Night Demon can't detect us?"
“No,” Meng Qingyin shook her head, “There haven’t been any Night Demons around my vehicle these past few days.”
This situation seems to have started after the baby appeared.
At first she thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that's not the case.
Qin Jiu was incredibly envious. "How come you all have special tools that can detect Night Demons? You're really something else."
Chen Leying glanced at the boy indifferently, without saying a word, but her eyes were full of understanding.
Meng Qingyin also realized that it was all thanks to Zaizai.
The cub is a ferocious beast, which intimidated the night demons and prevented them from approaching.
"Alright, since there are no Night Demons within fifty kilometers, let's think about how to get out." Meng Qingyin naturally changed the subject.
Qin Jiu sighed deeply, "This problem is even more difficult to solve than the Night Demon problem."
Chen Leying suggested, "How about we try to dig another exit?"
Meng Qingyin was skeptical. If there was a hidden mission, it meant that one could only leave after completing it.
Dig another hole...
That probably won't work.
However, she couldn't really argue with that, so she could only say, "We can try, but there's no need for all three of us to do it together. You two try to dig out the exit, and I'll go back into the cave to see if there are any other clues."
Chen Leying: "There might be a spider monster in the cave. Let Xiaojiu go with you, I'll dig it myself."
Meng Qingyin subconsciously refused: "No need, let Xiao Jiu stay and help you. I have Zai Zai, I'm not afraid of spider monsters."
She was thinking that if she couldn't find any clues, she would create some herself. But if Xiao Jiu went with her, how could she create any clues?
Qin Jiu, who was being tossed around like a football: "..."
In the end, it was Chen Leying who accepted Qin Jiu's burden.
Meng Qingyin carried the baby back into the stone cave.
