The sun was blazing, but a cool breeze was blowing.
At the foot of the southwestern mountains, the turbulent underground river and the cascading waterfalls are breathtaking even in the height of summer.
It reminded her of the chapter on the Dark River in the Thief's Notes.
Just looking at her almost suffocated me.
Just moments ago, Sheng Xia was full of fighting spirit, but now she's instantly cowered.
Her beasts had long been stored in her spatial dimension, leaving only her and her five companions.
Sheng Xia originally planned to take Tie Bai and the others in as well, leaving only Wolf King, who had the strongest superpower, but they strongly objected.
Because I didn't plan to enter the space during the height of summer...
Wolf King held the trembling Shengxia in his arms, his warm hands tenderly stroking the top of her head as he gently comforted her with a soft laugh.
"Let's go into the space. We'll be there when we wake up after a nap."
I'll find her a water-dwelling orc, and he has to be good-looking too.
Sheng Xia bit her lower lip lightly, shook her head firmly, leaned against him, and rubbed her face against him affectionately.
"No, I want to stay with you."
Underground rivers, that sounds dangerous.
Instead of worrying in the space, it's better to be together. If anything unexpected happens, she can take them into the space at any time.
She didn't want to experience the pain of almost losing her partner again.
I absolutely have to keep an eye on this myself!
Looking at the rushing water, Aoki smiled brightly and jumped in first: "I'll go scout ahead."
The lighting here is poor and the road conditions are complicated; he wouldn't feel at ease unless he personally oversaw the situation.
Summer's pupils dilated in shock: "Aoki!"
Hearing Shengxia's urgent call, he turned around, squatted down on the spot, splashed some water with his hand, and looked up with a sunny and cheerful smile.
"Xia, don't be afraid, look, the water is very shallow."
Sheng Xia looked down at his feet in surprise. It was pitch black. With a thought, a huge luminous pearl appeared in her hand, instantly shining as bright as day.
She lowered her eyes and looked down. The water was indeed very shallow, only reaching his calves, with pebbles visible below.
The stones on both sides glowed with a faint blue light under the illumination of the luminous pearl, which was quite beautiful!
The air was very cold, and the sound of flowing water echoed clearly.
Thinking of the surging lava outside, she gritted her teeth and nodded to the Wolf King.
"Alright, let's go!"
Any later, and she was afraid she'd back out at the last minute—it was terrifying!
His iron-white eyes curved slightly as he raised his hand to brush his smooth white hair back, only to realize that he had no hair tie.
Thinking of how stunningly beautiful she looked at Wolf King's bald head in the summer, her pink eyes lit up, her hands transformed into beast-like forms, and her sharp nails were about to cut her hair.
Seeing his thoughts, Yang Yun didn't hesitate and froze his fingernails.
He thought Tie Bai's long white hair was in the way, but Xia liked it!
Fox Snow lazily curled the corners of her lips and casually plucked a vine for him.
"Here, Xiaxia likes your hair."
Don't be so foolish as to cut it short!
Tie Bai paused, slightly lifted his eyelids, his pink eyes deep and unfathomable, and smiled with the corners of his lips curving upwards.
He turned his hand back, took the vine, and casually tied it into a high ponytail.
He leaped down and landed steadily next to Aoki.
Aoki, who was surveying the terrain, quickly retreated, then lightly kicked him while laughing loudly.
"Tie Bai, you're too fast! You startled me."
Tie Bai nimbly dodged, her snow-white ponytail swaying from side to side, exuding a sense of unrestrained freedom.
"I'm not in a hurry, I have plenty of time."
How can a male say it's fast...?
Sheng Xia's lips twitched, thinking to herself, "I hope you all hurry up, otherwise my own sister will be heartbroken."
Yang Yun's peach blossom eyes slightly upturned, his pupils overflowing with starlight, as he took out a piece of warm dried meat from his animal skin bag.
He picked up a piece and put it to Shengxia's lips.
"Xia, have a couple of bites, we should go."
Shengxia looked at his slender, fair fingers, swallowed hard, and opened her mouth to eat the meat.
Soft lips brushed against her fingertips unintentionally, and a blush rose on Yang Yun's cheeks.
With a thought, Shengxia took out five large portions of dried meat from her spatial storage and distributed them to them, then took out a cup.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they began their journey.
The further you go in, the more it resembles a maze, possessing a desolate and melancholic beauty, with endless passageways ahead.
In the sweltering summer, she was held in Tie Bai's arms. After the initial novelty and nervousness, she was filled with fear and apprehension as they hurried on their way.
She was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and terrified.
"Aoki, how much longer?"
Summer turned to look at Aoki, who was holding up the luminous pearl to guide the way, and asked him a question.
"Almost there, almost there! There's light ahead!"
Aoki's energetic voice came from the front. Upon hearing this, Shengxia's eyes lit up. She placed her hands on his iron-white chest and sat up straight in his arms.
"Great, we're finally going out!"
At this very moment, in this space.
The chief paced back and forth anxiously, which annoyed Fengdie. She frowned and gave a soft snort.
"Chief! Please stop spinning, it's making the beasts dizzy."
Why hasn't Shengxia come back yet? Could something have happened to her?
The chief paused, sighed, and walked away, where he happened to run into Orange, who was maintaining order with her partner.
Cheng Guo was held on Mu Yi's neck, glaring fiercely at a female who had overstepped her bounds.
"Stop! Don't move forward!"
The line was drawn, so I should have stayed put and waited until it was safe to leave. Why did I have to wander around like that!
The female shuddered in fright, tilted her head back, pointed at the orange fruit with a wronged expression, and said in a coquettish voice.
"You're yelling at me! A beast pushed me from behind, and I accidentally stepped on the line. I didn't do it on purpose, and you're yelling at me!"
Chengguo was stunned. Was the space too small?
She looked down and saw a dark mass of beastmen huddled together, barely able to stand, and struggling to even turn around.
Her gaze turned cold, but Xiao also held back. This was Xiaxia's space, not a place for them to play.
As long as there's a safe place to step on, that's fine!
The night-blooming jasmine walked gracefully over, her alluring red lips slightly parted, and she glanced at the female with a light laugh.
"Alright, go back to your seat. Guoguo is kind, but I might actually use my strength~"
She raised her hand, tilted her head charmingly, and chuckled softly.
The female's eyes reddened, and she turned away, feeling wronged, and threw herself into the arms of a tall male.
Orange grinned, waved at the night-blooming jasmine, and without hesitation, took its companion to patrol elsewhere.
Shengxia was unaware of all this; she was looking ahead with excitement in her eyes.
Under the scorching sun.
The clear river water flows slowly, with half of the exposed stones on the riverbank embedded in the water, and occasionally a fish jumps out of the water.
Next to it is a lush primeval forest, full of vitality. Unlike Yafatu, this place has abundant rainfall.
"So beautiful!"
Looking at the brand new place, Sheng Xia suddenly felt a strange excitement. She sat on the back of Yang Yun, tilted her head back, squinted her eyes, and opened her arms to enjoy the refreshing breeze.
The golden male and... the hairless wolf swam ashore one after another, shaking themselves and splashing water everywhere.
Aoki transformed into human form, raised his hand to wipe the water droplets from his face, and his eyes lit up when he saw something.
He looked up excitedly, pointed ahead, and smiled brightly.
"Xia, look! There are mushrooms up ahead!"
