Yu Ai smiled at her, "I haven't asked you yet how it happened that you and Antoine appeared at the border?"
Nereya smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's me. I wanted to look for you. I was the one who said I would look for you, but I didn't expect you to come back first. After we sorted out all the affairs of the clan, Antoine and I were ready to look for you, but I didn't expect you to arrive first."
"Then it means that when you want to see You Ai, she will appear. How great is that!" Masha interrupted. She and Guan Landa were resting nearby. You Ai and the others didn't deliberately lower their voices when they spoke, so they heard it.
"That's right," You Ai nodded seriously, and everyone laughed. Guan Landa and Jeffrey were feeling a bit upset because they were worried about the poisoned member of the tribe, but this laughter helped alleviate some of that.
Mai Fei inspected the area but found nothing unusual. There were three paths, leaving them with two choices: either check each path together, or split up and investigate each separately.
"How?" McPhee asked.
You Ai pondered for a moment, "Searching separately is more dangerous, but it will be faster."
"I agree to look for them separately," said Guan Landa.
"Okay!" You Ai took out three ropes. "These are retractable ropes. Tie them up. If you spot a fangtooth fish monster, don't act rashly. Tell the others first. Nariya, you stay here. I'll give you the other end of the rope."
Nariya nodded and pulled the other end of the rope firmly. The others split into three groups: Yuai Maifei, Killua Masa, and Guanlandajifeli.
"Remember, don't try to be brave. Once you find the nest, inject spiritual power into the rope." You Ai warned, and felt relieved when he saw everyone nodded solemnly.
This path is much larger than the one they just entered, and can accommodate four people walking side by side at the same time. The rope is tied to Mai Fei's right wrist, and his left hand is holding You Ai.
Looking at her partner beside her, she had not yet had time to tell him about her pregnancy. Telling him now would only distract him, and it would be even more impossible to tell him, so Yu Ai decided to get through this hurdle before telling him.
Mai Fei noticed her gaze, turned to look at her, smiled, and said gently, "What's wrong?"
You Ai also smiled, "Look at how handsome my partner is!"
Hearing this, Mai Fei smiled and shook his head, then tightened their clasped hands.
As it turns out, the task of "finding the lair of the fangtooth fish monster" is already known to be the "lair of the fangtooth fish monster", so the focus is on "finding"!
After the three groups set out, they all returned to their starting point with nothing.
"What's going on? Nothing?" Nereya couldn't help but ask as she watched them all coming back, but all she got in response was a shake of the head.
"We should bring Big Head with us, maybe it can sense something," Masha suggested.
Yu Ai shook his head, "If we can't find the nest, Big Head is the only antidote. It can't fail."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have left Big Head alone. Although the interval between deep throat fluids was a bit long, there was still a chance if she waited. She was worried that someone would be impatient and force the seizure, which was why Youai asked Wright to stay. Someone was needed to distribute the liquid and maintain order.
"Is it possible that the nest isn't here?" Killua asked. Everyone looked at Nariya, but she shook her head. "These are the only two forbidden areas for the elves. This place became a forbidden area because of the Fangtooth Fish Monster."
You Ai said, "Then it must be here, but we haven't found the right direction yet."
"Or maybe there's no need to turn in?" Guan Landa speculated.
Nairiya pursed her lips and said uncertainly, "The records say that you need to take a detour, but this is a forbidden area. As far as I can remember, I have never heard of anyone daring to come in."
"Then let's try..." Jephry said halfway, and Killua continued, "Go back and look at the other way?"
There are two roads, and one of them cannot find the destination, so we should indeed try the other one. Everyone else agreed. Nereya suspected that the record might be wrong, but Youai felt that this was the right place.
But everyone agreed to try another route. Since they hadn't found it here, You Ai couldn't afford to delay things because of her own opinion, so she didn't object. However, just as everyone was about to re-enter the cave in the same order they came in, she heard a voice.
"What's that sound?"
Everyone stopped and listened, but they heard nothing. Mai Fei had already put half his head in and then pulled it out, but he didn't hear anything either.
Yu Ai stood still, listening carefully. It was a very subtle rustling sound, one that hadn't been there since they entered. She was sure she heard it, but she kept her voice down, as if she was afraid to scare the sound away. She whispered, "It's still ringing."
Everyone held their breath and listened quietly again, all with solemn expressions.
"I didn't hear anything!" said Masha. Guan Landa also shook her head. Others also said that they didn't hear any unusual sounds.
No one heard it, even Mai Fei, who had the highest ability level, shook his head at her. You Ai was puzzled, and listened again, the voice was still there, it didn't stop!
"Why don't you come to my seat and listen?" As she said that, she gave up her seat. Guan Landa, who was closest to her, stepped forward and stood in You Ai's original position. The others didn't dare to make a sound and waited.
Guan Landa listened carefully for a long time and shook her head. You Ai was stunned and walked straight forward to stand close to her.
This location was quite special. There was a concave extension in the stone wall. Yu Ai's hand habitually rested on the stone beside it, and she suddenly came to her senses.
She leaned on the stone and listened carefully for a while, then let go of her hand. Then she said to Guan Landa, "Hold on to the stone and listen."
Hearing this, Guan Landa did as she was told. This time, her expression changed. "Yes, there was a sound."
"What? Really?" Masha squeezed forward and put her hands on the stone. Sure enough, she heard it. Her expression was extremely shocked. She said, "That sound is exactly like eating."
Hearing this, Killua leaned against the stone and listened, then knocked on the stone wall, "I'm afraid it's empty inside."
Yu Ai raised his hand and gently pressed on the stone wall. He said, "Maybe we are looking in the right direction and in the right place, but we just can't see it. The nest may be behind this wall."
The three paths they were looking for were all on the other side of the cave entrance. That is to say, the entrance they came in from, plus the other three paths, only occupied a little more than half of the area here.
Because this place is so huge and the rest of the place is covered with stone walls, even though the third path to the right is opposite the cave entrance, I still mistakenly thought that the nest should be at the end of one of the three paths.
It was not until You Ai placed his hand on the stone wall to the left of the cave entrance that he heard the tiny and faint sound behind the stone wall through solid sound transmission.
