Chapter 189 Landslide
Xia Yueke stepped forward and said softly, "It was just an accident, actually. Thank you for making the special trip to deliver it."
Qi'an's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded slightly, then turned around and walked away with brisk steps, and soon disappeared from Qian Jingyao's sight.
Xia Yueke turned around and looked at Qian Jingyao with a smile, "I didn't expect you to accept these things. I thought you would be angry and say that this was to bribe you!"
Qian Jingyao: "You were in such a dangerous situation this time, it would be a waste if you don't take the compensation."
Duzai, Rongqiu and Juanjuan were next to where Xia Yuke and Qian Jingyao were. They felt relieved after knowing that Xia Yuke was not seriously injured. They were strolling around and bringing some strange little gadgets to Xia Yuke from time to time.
Or he could hunt a few low-level magical beasts and give the beast cores to Xia Yuke to play with and make her happy. After all, Qian Jingyao is keeping a close eye on Xia Yuke and won't let her go out to do anything dangerous.
After staying in this place for a few more days, Qi'an and Luo Cihe finally decided to return.
Qi'an, Luo Cihe and their group headed towards the Beast City along the original route. The team grew a lot with the addition of female companions, and they traveled very quickly by using their beast forms to lead the female companions.
However, just as they were about to leave the misty forest, an accident happened and a landslide suddenly appeared ahead.
There was a loud rumbling sound, and a large amount of rocks, soil and trees poured down from the hillside, instantly blocking their way forward, and the raised dust filled the air.
"This is bad. We'd better leave quickly. This is a landslide. Qi'an, do you think there are other ways around here?"
Xia Yueke, who was sitting on Qian Jingyao's beast form, immediately looked towards the Misty Forest. He saw that the originally snow-covered Misty Forest had a landslide due to the snow melting too quickly due to the rising temperature.
Qi'an, who was near them, frowned and quickly glanced around. He responded, "I'm looking for it, but I haven't found it yet."
Luo Cihe was also there to comfort everyone: "Everyone, stay where you are and don't run around to avoid danger."
The young beasts that were originally a little agitated immediately quieted down.
Qi An said, "I'll go to a higher place to check first. Maybe I can find a way to bypass it or clear the obstacle."
After Qi'an finished speaking, he immediately turned into a giant pigeon and flew into the air.
He flew around the road ahead several times before coming back.
After transforming into human form, he said solemnly, "The mountains ahead are experiencing similar conditions. They seem to be about to...slide. It seems we need to take a detour."
Everyone's faces suddenly looked a little unhappy. After all, this was the shortest route out of the Misty Forest. If they took a detour, it might take several days!
A male beast said:
"Forget it, let's just take a detour. Let's get out of here quickly. It's too dangerous!"
The other orcs were also scared and were walking when suddenly many huge rocks fell on their heads. That would be a life-threatening situation.
"Okay, Qi'an, let's go back to where we were before and plan a new route. This place is too unsafe!"
Xia Yueke said to Qi'an.
When Qian Jingyao saw Xia Yueke like this, he was stunned. A trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: When did they become so close?
Qi'an nodded and led the team back to the shelter where they had stayed before.
Fluffball and the others came over and asked, "Keke, why are you acting so weird after you and Qi'an fell down this time?"
Juanjuan also nodded, "Yes, yes, your relationship seems to have improved a lot?"
Xia Yueke immediately covered Juanjuan's mouth with a guilty conscience, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, what's good about it?"
Qi'an followed silently behind, his eyes always following Xia Yueke's figure.
Luo Cihe looked at Qi'an thoughtfully, secretly thinking about the relationship between him and Xia Yueke.
After returning to the shelter, Qi'an began to study the map carefully, trying to find a relatively safe and quick detour.
The next morning, the team set out again, taking a longer route in the opposite direction of their original route.
As we walked, a wide river suddenly appeared in front of us. The water was rushing and there were white waves.
Everyone stopped, looking troubled. Duzi frowned and said, "What should we do? This river looks difficult to cross."
Xia Yueke looked at Qi'an and said with a smile:
"Qian, how about you sacrifice yourself, transform into a beast, and take everyone over?"
Qi An's icy expression froze for a moment, and he said seriously, "Xia Yueke, my beast form is relatively small, and I can't move so many orcs. Besides, there are orcs here that are even bigger than me!"
Xia Yueke laughed and said, "I'm just kidding. If you dare to take it, others won't dare to sit on it!"
Then she looked at the river, thought for a moment and said, "We can find some strong branches and make a raft. Maybe we can cross."
Everyone thought this was a good idea and started to take action.
Qian Jingyao watched Xia Yuke talking nonsense to Qi'an as if no one was around. His expression changed again and again, and he looked at Qi'an with scrutiny.
Then he secretly competed with him to see who could find thicker and more suitable branches when looking for wood.
Can get Xia Yueke's praise.
Luo Cihe was directing the other cubs to gather the branches they had found.
Xia Yueke, Yuanyuan and Rongqiu tied the branches together with vines.
After some effort, the raft was finally tied.
Everyone boarded the raft carefully. Qi'an and Qian Jingyao stood on both sides, using long branches as oars, trying to control the direction of the raft so that it slowly sailed towards the other side along the water flow.
During the process of crossing the river, the raft shook from time to time, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.
Xia Yueke held on to the edge of the raft tightly, feeling a little scared.
After seeing this, Qi An comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid."
When Qian Jingyao heard this, he felt unhappy and rowed the boat even harder.
After finally reaching the other side, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Continuing on, they found an abandoned hut. The hut looked a bit shabby, but at least it could shelter them from the wind and rain.
Everyone decided to rest in the cabin for one night and continue their journey tomorrow.
At night, Xia Yueke sat bored outside the cabin, looking up at the starry sky.
Qi'an came over and sat next to her. After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"Did anyone get hurt while crossing the river today?"
Qi An's voice, as cold as an iceberg, sounded softly, but there seemed to be a barely perceptible concern in his cold eyes. His face was stern, as if cut by a knife, and it looked even deeper under the moonlight, but it was slightly warmed by this concern.
