So what exactly is it?
Cheng Shuang secretly wondered if the intense disgust she felt when recalling the red-haired little girl and the sudden appearance of the sphere on the top floor had resurfaced. Could she rule out the possibility that this mountain was the mastermind behind the food street?
No!
cannot!
The little girl tightened her skin.
She shouldn't rely on the punishment and restrictions imposed on her by the Gate of Reincarnation to judge the truth.
The red-haired girl and the little ball could both be distractions of the mastermind, so why shouldn't the green mountain in front of us be?
Just because she saw it, did she remain calm and unmoved?
Cheng Shuang bit her lip and reminded him, "We should go in now, otherwise we won't have enough time."
“I think someone should stay outside,” Xiao Qi suggested, scratching his head. “I can stay! There are people outside, so there’s no need to worry about the gate closing.” At least there’s danger, and he has the ability to protect himself. But Gong Zhu is different; he relies mainly on the power of the cards. If he doesn’t use them properly, having cards is no different from not having them.
Because of this statement, Da Bai couldn't help but value Xiao Qi even more.
Although this boy is occasionally a bit naive, he is not lacking in courage and team spirit. He also has a clear understanding of himself and will not suffer from adolescent delusions or do anything that would implicate his teammates.
"Add me in too." Gong Zhu raised his hand to apply. "If I go in, I'll easily become a burden. If something happens outside, I can at least delay things for a while."
Da Bai glanced at Gong Zhu in surprise. She had thought he was exceptionally strong and competitive, but she hadn't expected him to be willing to reveal his weakness to his temporary partner. She secretly admired the young woman's discerning eye for choosing a companion.
“I’ll stay!” Da Bai looked at the others. “It’s necessary to leave two people outside. It would be a waste to leave Xiao Qi outside. If there is a serious danger in the cave, his skills can be used for both offense and defense, and can save lives.”
She thought for a moment, then took out a white pill and a red pill and handed them to Xiao Qi, saying, "You'll be my companion sooner or later, just give them back to me!"
Xiaoqi wanted to refuse, but seeing Dabai insist, she immediately smiled and her crow's feet appeared. When she took it, she touched Dabai's fingers, which made the boy blush again, lost in his fantasies.
Da Bai coughed lightly and looked away from Xiao Qi's bright eyes.
Three single guys silently touched their noses. They shouldn't be at the bottom of the mountain; they should be in the mountain...
Finally, Da Bai and Gong Zhu were left behind, while Cheng Shuang, Si Hai, and Xiao Qi drove their amphibious vehicle into the cave.
During their communication, Sang Sang went to scout the way. Although it was dark, it was safe. Not far away, there was an open, pale white gate, similar to what Cheng Shuang remembered. However, this gate seemed to have not been weathered by time, and its whiteness had a somewhat eerie and cold feel.
It was pitch black behind the gate, the only place that was completely different from the gate in the artificial mountain. Just to be on the safe side, Cheng Shuang sent the monster inside again to scout ahead. At first, it responded and everything seemed normal, but suddenly, she lost contact with the monster.
Cheng Shuang didn't panic. Despite being out of contact, she could sense that the monster was unharmed, just in a place she couldn't touch or see.
The little girl calmly explained what had happened, and Sihai immediately used the flower petals to call out to the two people guarding outside the green hills.
They had agreed beforehand that if any signs of going missing appeared, they must gather together and not separate.
The idea was good, but reality was incredibly cruel. As soon as Cheng Shuang stepped through the gate, she felt her fingers slip through her grasp like quicksand. When she looked up, the light in front of her suddenly changed.
The trees and shrubs provide shade, and the chirping of insects and birds brings the seemingly lifeless world to life, transforming it from barrenness to prosperity. The air is filled with the unique, humid scent of the forest.
Cheng Shuang turned around and looked around. Unbeknownst to her, she had stepped out of the cave. The world before her was no longer the boundless, lush grass she had seen on the mountaintop.
The little girl was completely baffled, because she had inadvertently caught a glimpse of a large, striped tiger leaping across the forest without even glancing at her before running away. Then, Little Fierce Xu, Mei Furious, Fat Butterfly, Little White Go, Little Lucky Mud... all ran and jumped past, as if she were in a wildlife park.
Cheng Shuang reluctantly pulled her chin back. Having been separated from her companions, she now had two choices: one was to follow these overly active and fearless little animals and explore in the direction they were gathered, and the other was to return to the foot of the mountain, find the mountain gate, and try to return.
The problem is... She turned around and looked around. The green hills were now covered with flowers, grass and trees, and many small ferocious beasts were jumping around in the branches, foraging and playing. As she turned around, one or two little white ones arrogantly stepped on her feet and ran off in an unknown direction.
It's completely different from the simple and protective atmosphere of the past.
She couldn't find her way back at all.
The little girl puffed out her cheeks in exasperation, then calmly took the teddy bear out of her backpack, affectionately rubbed its soft fur face against hers, and said in a soft voice, "Oh, teddy bear, now it's just the two of us!"
Someone went missing: ?
A certain ghost and a certain dragon: ? ?
The animals that keep trying to make their presence known: ? ? ?
And the lush green mountains behind them: ? ? ? ?
Cheng Shuang, oblivious to everyone else, strode forward carrying the bear cub, walking in the exact opposite direction from the animals, going against the flow. Along the way, she not only encountered a familiar striped tiger, but also Little Fierce Xu, Mei Furious, Fat Butterfly, Little White Go, and Little Lucky Mud. These little animals passed by her again and again in the same order, clearly with only one purpose: to lead her to a place that someone wanted her to go.
The young girl sneered twice. Why should she have to go just because she's invited? Doesn't she have any pride?
