After everyone discussed and decided, they organized the team to set off to the top of the mountain.
On the way, Changsun held a map in his hand and asked Li Yuan: "There is a floating bridge at the top of the mountain? Why is there no mark on the map?"
"Oh, there is indeed no mark on the map. Before the discussion just now, Zhang Su called us over to learn more about the mountain and canyon. You were meditating to recover your energy, so we didn't call you. This floating bridge was mentioned by Chen Cai at that time. I don’t know what came out." Li Yuan replied.
Changsun was a little confused, "Did Chen Cai bring it up?"
"Yes, we were also very confused at the time, but the teacher said that there is indeed such a floating bridge, but it has been out of use for some years, and it should still be used." Li Yuan said.
Changsun nodded and looked at Chen Cai. Changsun had a good impression of Chen Cai, probably because of his unwillingness to admit defeat.
…
The mountain road was indeed difficult to walk, but fortunately there were no powerful spiritual beasts along the way, so everyone spent some effort but successfully reached the top of the mountain.
The view from the top of the mountain is wide. We have been in the woods for so many days. Although it is not completely dark, we still cannot feel the bright sunshine like we do now.
Tang Yuyan took a deep breath, stretched her body, and said comfortably, "I finally see the sun."
"Yeah, I feel like I'm getting moldy in that dark forest." Mo Yushan continued.
Siqin smiled and said: "The last time we returned to Lieyang City, my eldest grandson and I stayed in the woods for a longer time. When we left the woods, I had the same thoughts as you. I felt that my whole body was damp and moldy. I really wanted to Hang it up and dry it inside out.”
Mo Yushan laughed, but Tang Yuyan on the side was stunned.
Among the people in his group, only Si Qin seemed to know Changsun best, and the two of them had the best understanding of each other.
Only then did Tang Yuyan realize that although Si Qin was the most noble daughter in the Southern Territory, she had never complained about hardship along the way. She only brought two clothes with her, washing and changing them, and she didn't act like a young lady at all.
"Sister Yuyan, look, Linhu Camp!" Mo Yushan pointed excitedly at a lake. Next to the lake is the destination of this trip, Linhu Camp.
Changsun's attention was always on Chen Cai. At this time, he was still observing Chen Cai without leaving any trace. He was about to arrive at the Linhu camp. If there was any premeditated plan, the next step would be the last chance.
Changsun whispered to Si Qin beside him: "Follow me later."
Siqin was stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he asked, "Are they going to take action?"
The eldest grandson nodded and said, "This is the last chance. He is already a little anxious."
Changsun did not indicate to Siqin who "he" was, in case Siqin was discovered when he observed "him".
While everyone was resting, Yu Lei had already led Zhang Su to inspect the pontoon bridge.
Rather than calling it a floating bridge, it is better to call it a pumice stone.
Because this floating bridge is actually just a few stones engraved with runes and suspended in the air.
This pontoon bridge was built by the first group of people who established the camp near the lake many years ago.
At that time, due to the rampant spirit beasts at the bottom of the mountain, people could only pass through the top of the mountain. This was a temporary construction at that time. It is said that the original plan was to improve this temporary floating bridge and turn it into a real "bridge", but something happened later that caused the plan to be abandoned.
Later, as the mercenary group killed and expelled the spiritual beasts at the foot of the mountain, this mountain road was slowly abandoned.
"This pontoon bridge is old, but the runes engraved on it are still clear. One or two of us can pass through without any problem." Zhang Su said.
Yu Lei nodded and said: "It should be no problem for the warrior magicians from the Wuziyuan, Qiziyuan and Faziyuan to pass, but it will be difficult for the non-warrior students from the Wenziyuan to pass. In this way, the next students with better martial arts and physical strength will Carrying students who are not warriors through.”
Zhang Su nodded and agreed to pass the pontoon in this way.
Zhang Su organized students to cross the floating bridge.
This is also another test for students. The canyon is filled with fog and it is difficult to see the bottom. Some students with poor mental quality look down when passing the pontoon and their legs tremble unconsciously.
Yu Lei has been paying attention to the students' situation on the other side, ready to catch the students who may fall. After all, he is a warrior in the warrior realm and can fly in the air.
"Don't look down, focus on crossing the pontoon bridge." Yu Lei's voice sounded from time to time, reminding students crossing the bridge.
Changsun kept paying attention to Chen Cai, and soon Chen Cai and others passed the pontoon.
Chen Cai walked behind Wan Minglang and others, followed by Lin Yue'er. Changsun originally wanted to get in front of Lin Yue'er, but was afraid of arousing Chen Cai's alert, so he finally chose to follow Lin Yue'er.
Not long after Chen Cai left, Lin Yue'er followed.
Changsun had been paying attention to the front. Seeing Lin Yue'er already on the bridge, he said to Siqin behind him without turning his head: "Come up, I will carry you across."
Siqin nodded. Neither of them noticed that such a move was a bit intimate. After all, on the way from Qingshan to Lieyang City, the eldest grandson carried Siqin on his back.
"No, I'll carry her over." Tang Yuyan said expressionlessly.
"Huh?" Changsun was a little surprised and turned to look at Tang Yuyan.
"Sister Yuyan, aren't you carrying me?" Mo Yushan said.
"Let Tang Hao carry you, and I will carry Si Qin." Tang Yuyan said.
"But..." Mo Yushan wanted to say something else, but after seeing Tang Yuyan's murderous gaze, he immediately understood and retracted the words that came to his lips.
Only then did the eldest grandson react. He nodded awkwardly and said, "Yes, it would be better for Senior Sister Yuyan to carry you on her back."
After saying that, he turned around and jumped to the pontoon.
Chen Cai, who was walking in front, was not very fast, as if he was waiting for his eldest grandson. Lin Yue'er, who was following Chen Cai, caught up with Chen Cai and urged, "Hurry up, Chen Cai."
Chen Cai nodded and said hesitantly, "Well... you should be careful where you step."
After saying that, he suddenly exerted his strength and jumped to the next stone.
Lin Yue'er nodded, without thinking much, and jumped towards the stone that Chen Cai had just walked past.
But before Lin Yue'er could stand firm, the stone under her feet suddenly cracked, and Lin Yue'er staggered and fell.
Before Changsun who was following him could react, Chen Cai in front had already jumped towards the falling Lin Yue'er like a prophet.
"His target is Lin Yue'er!" An idea came to Changsun's mind, and then he jumped without thinking.
The accident happened suddenly, and Chen Cai deliberately slowed down. At this time, the three of them were not halfway to the pontoon. Before Yu Lei, who was on the other side of the canyon, had time to react, the three of them had fallen down the canyon.
"The eldest grandson!" Tang Yuyan jumped down after the eldest grandson.
"The eldest grandson..."
"sister……"
Lu Xiaoran stopped the impulsive Si Qin, Tang Hao and others.
Yu Lei also reacted at this moment, secretly shouted "Oops", and quickly used his true energy to fly towards a few people.
…
After a while, Yu Lei flew up from the canyon.
Anxious Tang Hao and others gathered around, "Teacher Yu, where are my sister and eldest grandson?"
Yu Lei shook his head: "The canyon is too deep and full of fog, and there are caves everywhere on the mountain cliffs. I...didn't see any of them."
Yu Lei blamed himself for being too careless. If he had reacted faster, he might have been able to catch up with a few people.
Tang Hao's expression was a little dull, and Mo Yushan beside him was also worried and didn't know what to do.
"Waiting here is not an option. Let's quickly go to the Linhu camp and contact the hospital to send someone to search." Lu Xiaoran was the only one among the few who could keep calm at this time.
Tang Hao came back to his senses and looked at Lu Xiaoran.
Lu Xiaoran looked at Tang Hao firmly and said, "Believe in the eldest grandson, believe in your sister!"
Tang Hao was startled, as if he was infected, and gradually regained his composure.
…
In a cave on the cliff side of the canyon, Changsun held Tang Yuyan, who was still in shock.
"Why are you following me? Do you know how dangerous it was just now!" Zhangsun said angrily.
"I saw you jump down, so I jumped down too in a hurry." Tang Yuyan hadn't fully recovered yet.
Changsun immediately lost his intention to blame. Fortunately, he heard Tang Yuyan's cry when he jumped down and hugged Tang Yuyan at the critical moment to enter the cave, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
When Zhang Sun saw Chen Cai and Lin Yue'er fall, he immediately followed them. Chen Cai seemed to be the first to save Lin Yue'er, but in fact, he fainted the moment he hugged Lin Yue'er. Lin Yue'er, and then fled into this cave.
Changsun followed closely and almost caught him, but at the last critical moment he turned around to save Tang Yuyan, and then Chen Cai was lost.
"Um...I don't care anymore, you can let me down." Tang Yuyan came back to her senses and said a little shyly.
"Oh...oh" Changsun was also a little embarrassed and quickly let go and put Tang Yuyan down.
…
Inside the cave, passages extend in all directions, and Changsun and Tang Yuyan walked through them looking for traces of Chen Cai and Lin Yue'er.
"With so many passages, how can we find them?" Tang Yuyan asked.
"Follow me and you can find them." Changsun said confidently.
Tang Yuyan looked at Changsun with some doubts.
Changsun had a mysterious face, stretched out his right hand, and a jumping black flame appeared, it was the evil spirit.
Changsun said: "This is an evil spirit. When I almost caught Chen Cai just now, I quietly left a trace of the evil spirit on his body. You can't see it, but to me it looks like something in the dark." It's as bright as a little fluorescent light." Changsun was repeating his old trick. When we were in Qingshan, we also used this trick to deal with Prairie.
Tang Yuyan seemed to understand, but she was full of curiosity about the evil spirit and wanted to reach out and touch it.
Changsun quickly put away the evil spirit and said, "Don't touch it, it has high energy."
"Is it fire?" Tang Yuyan asked.
The eldest grandson didn't know how to explain it, so he could only vaguely say: "Well... that's it."
Seeing that her eldest grandson seemed unwilling to say more, Tang Yuyan stopped asking and changed the subject: "Then how should we go back after we find them? It seems a bit difficult to get up from the cliff."
The eldest grandson nodded, took out a golden dew bee from his pocket, and said: "When I asked for this golden dew bee from Siqin, I thought it would be good if Siqin was caught in an accident. Finding her based on the connection between this worker bee and the queen bee, I didn’t expect that now Siqin has become our hope to save us.”
"Will she remember this golden dew bee?" Tang Yuyan asked.
"Yes, with Siqin's intelligence, he will definitely think of it when he calms down." Changsun said without hesitation.
Tang Yuyan's expression dimmed and she said oh.
"Hush, I found it." Changsun grabbed Tang Yuyan.
