After eating and drinking, Xiaohu Lili was busy making beds for several people. Chen Yao quietly walked to the edge of the leaf and sat down. The abyss under his feet was dark and empty, but he did not feel scared because his home was there.
"What are you thinking about?"
Qiu Yunxi also sat down next to Chen Yao.
"I'm worried, probably, because I don't know what the outside world is like."
"You'll know it when you go out. What's the use of worrying about this. But you...don't do it again in the future. You do it every time and you can't bear to eat it by yourself."
"You haven't grown much recently. I'm going to be taller than you. Let's see how you find a wife then!"
Qiu Yunxi rolled his eyes at Chen Yao.
"It's okay, maybe it would be nice to go out for dinner, but you said you were looking for a wife, how about..."
"What?"
Qiu Yunxi suddenly turned his head. At such a close distance, the girl's black hair swept across Chen Yao's face. A pair of jewel-like bright eyes looked directly at Chen Yao, making him feel itchy in his heart.
"Um...never mind...it's nothing."
"Hey, you have no guts! I'm going to rest."
"Um..."
After sitting for a while, Chen Yao also got up and added some firewood to the stove, then got into the quilt and protected the sleeping Yina with one hand, and fell asleep...
................................................................. ...
In a daze, Chen Yao dreamed that the leaves under him were shaking violently. Just when he was about to fall, he woke up. In front of him was Yue Li's milky little face. However, at this moment, the girl's cheeks were slightly bulging, and she was obviously a little angry.
"Brother Yao! Why do you sleep like a pig and you can't wake up!"
"Ah...Sorry, maybe I was too tired yesterday..."
Chen Yao sat up and stretched.
"Um...is it morning already?"
"Yes, my sister said that everyone should get up early and try to go out today."
"All right..."
The group got up to tidy up, and continued climbing up the vines after breakfast.
"Hey~ Good morning, master! Huh? Where are you?"
Little Raya climbed onto Chen Yao's shoulder, raised her little tentacles and stretched.
"This is about five hundred meters above the village. What?"
"Hmm...no wonder I feel so far away from the dark place I lived in before."
"Huh? Feeling? What do you mean?"
Chen Yao smelled something unusual in Raya's words.
"Well... that is to say, I can feel the dark place before, it's okay... it's okay... Guhehe, why can't I remember it? Ah! It turns out that Raya is hungry Got it!"
Chen Yao took out two plum fruits from the binding ring with understanding.
"Let's talk first. These are the last two. If you can't remember them after eating them, I'll have to throw you out of here and think about them."
"Uh-oh! It's delicious! (Chew, chew)... It's a little sour and a little sweet. Hehe, it's finished!"
Chen Yao didn't even notice the action of her putting the fruit into her mouth. After chewing it, two fruit cores stained with transparent saliva were spat out. Chen Yao wiped them with disgust and put them away.
"I remember it! I remember it all! This is my innate ability!"
"Father and mother also have it, but none of those uncles and aunts can do it! The name of the ability seems to be... Dark Nest Beacon."
"There are two ways to leave a beacon in a place! The first way is a ritual, I don't know about this, and the second way is to stay in a place for a period of time, I don't know exactly. How long! It’s in that dark stone house anyway.”
"With the Dark Nest Beacon, I can go back to that place through a ritual. Well... the ritual language is... I can't remember it, hehehe."
"Um...is that so?"
The more Chen Yao listened, the more mysterious he became. How many abilities did this little guy have that he didn't know about...
"Okay! There's nothing to eat, I'm going to sleep!"
Little Raya rubbed Chen Yao's neck with her sticky mouth, then hung on Chen Yao's arm and fell asleep.
"Chen Yao, are you ready to go?"
"Oh, here we come."
Chen Yao put Ina on his back and fixed her. This girl was still sleeping...
The higher you go, the slenderer the vines and leaves become. Chen Yao couldn't remember how many times this was the first time he climbed onto the blade.
From morning, to a quick bite to eat at noon, to now. I took about a dozen short breaks along the way.
"Well..."
After climbing onto the next leaf, Chen Yao wanted to get up immediately and take the next move, but then his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness. At the same time, his body fell straight backwards. The last move he made was to flip his body.
It's over.
"Chen Yao!"
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Qiu Yunxi jumped up onto the blade in time and grabbed the rope around his waist.
Just now Qiu Yunxi discovered that something was wrong with Chen Yao. Because he was at the front and needed to support the people below him, he consumed the most, and the fatigue and loss of strength in his movements could be seen with a clear eye.
After trying to persuade him to rest to no avail, he could only let him be brave, but at the same time, he also paid close attention to his situation.
The leaves swayed, and half of Chen Yao's body was hanging outside. At this time, he also woke up from his dizziness.
"Uh...what's going on..."
"Hmph! If it doesn't work, it won't work. I still have to be strong, so I might as well throw you down!"
Yun Xi gritted his silver teeth and said with an angry look on his face.
"No! Auntie! Don't let go!"
Chen Yao grasped the edge of the blade with both hands and exerted force. He shrank back. Only then was he safe.
Seeing that Chen Yao was out of danger, Qiu Yunxi came up angrily and kicked Chen Yao on the... uh... waist, but fortunately he didn't use much force.
"Ouch...hehehe, isn't this okay? Besides, it's not tied up with a rope..."
Chen Yao pretended to rub it, then sat up and said.
"What if?! You talk about this and that all day long, but in the end you don't pay attention at all! What's more, you are carrying Yina on your back! Do you want to kill her?"
"Yes, yes, you are right. I listen to you and rest now! The main reason is that I just want to go out if I persist..."
While Chen Yao was talking kindly, he crawled back to Qiu Yunxi's feet, raised his head...
It’s broken, the direction is wrong!
"Does it look good?"
A cold voice came from above.
"No, I don't know, I didn't see it!"
Chen Yao quickly moved his limbs and turned his body forward.
Well...skirts are the most wonderful creations...
"Brother! Are you okay?"
At this time, Xiaohu shouted loudly from below.
"Oops, I forgot that they are still down there and haven't come up yet."
Chen Yao struggled to get up and arrange the rope so that the two of them could climb up along the rope, but his body had reached its limit.
"Let me do it, you...it doesn't look good like this, hehe."
Qiu Yunxi cast a faint sidelong glance at Chen Yao on the ground.
Chen Yao felt a hint of... contempt from his eyes and words? Hello! There's no need to take revenge, it was really an accident, right?
Forget it...he was out of strength now anyway, so Chen Yao simply lay down, closed his eyes and regained his strength.
After a while, Jiang Huyueli also climbed up along the rope.
"Brother Yao?"
As soon as they came up, they saw Chen Yao lying on the ground like a dead dog.
"It's okay, I'm just a little exhausted. Just rest for a while."
As everyone climbed onto the blade, the shaking of the blade began to intensify, but it was still within the range that it could bear.
"Yun Xi...which film is this here?"
"About 900 pieces."
"That's about 1,800 meters..."
Chen Yao turned his head and looked up. Compared with the top of the abyss, which was originally only a glimmer of sight in the village, it now seemed at least ten times larger, and the light cast from above was still a little yellowish.
"It looks like we'll be able to go out soon, but... the blades will get smaller as you go up, and so will the load-bearing capacity, so we have to divide them up and stay on the same blade in groups of two..."
Chen Yao looked around and saw that the blade under the people was only four to five meters long and wide, more than twice smaller than the lowest blade.
"Xiaohu, Lili is leaving it to you. Yunxi and I will go to the front. You will follow my instructions when the time comes."
"Don't worry, brother! I'll take care of it."
"Okay, hey..."
Chen Yao stood up and moved his arms twice to feel the pain. The pain in his body had eased a lot.
"Are you okay?"
Yun Xi's abrupt question made Chen Yao furious.
"Okay! Very good! Very good! Who do you look down on?"
"Really? Let's go then. If things don't work later, remember to call out and my sister will come to help you right away~"
Yun Xi took the lead in climbing the leaves above Chen Yao and looked down from a high position.
I was underestimated... I'm so angry! But, hehe...it has a different charm...
Chen Yao also quickly followed Yun Xi, and after reaching the upper blade, he immediately started preparing to board the higher blade.
"Xiaohu, come up quickly and wait until I call you again!"
When the two reached a higher place, Chen Yao shouted to Xiaohu.
"knew!"
Xiaohu also responded below.
................................................................. ...
After climbing level after level for about an hour, Chen Yao stopped.
"It feels very close. We can go out soon."
Chen Yao raised his head. The light from the outside world was blocked by something. The deep orange light that passed through the obstruction shot down like beams of divine light. This beautiful sight made the group of people who had been in a low-light environment for a long time a little uncomfortable...
"Wow! It's so beautiful! So this is what real light looks like! Oh...it's so dazzling, so dazzling! Wow..."
Qiu Yueli raised her head in curiosity, but was blinded by the strong light.
"It's beautiful... isn't it?"
Yun Xi stared directly above.
"Well...it's true, it's just a bit dazzling. Okay, just work harder, and you'll be out in no time."
Chen Yao greeted a few people to continue climbing up. After a while, Chen Yao reached the top leaf, but there was something weird about this position...
"The vines here have been cut off...the vines are as thick as two people hugging each other. What kind of power can cut it off..."
The leaves under Chen Yao's feet happened to be in contact with the outside land. This place was obviously a dense forest.
The surrounding trees were more than ten meters high, completely covering the top of the crack in the black abyss. No wonder Chen Yao felt that the light in the village would be weaker than in other places...
"Forget it, let's go up first and talk later."
Chen Yao fixed the rope on the vine, took another rope and jumped to the ground outside. Then he tied the rope to the tree. This was done to connect the two people below.
"Xiaohu, come up quickly!"
"Okay, big brother!"
When everyone stepped on the solid ground outside, Chen Yao felt relieved.
"We're finally... out!"
"Wow! The plants here are so tall! They are not like those in the village, which are short and ugly..."
"Maybe the boys here are also tall and handsome? Maybe Lili will fall in love at first sight."
Chen Yao teased.
"Ouch! You're annoying Brother Yao to death! I'm not that kind of person!"
"Hmm, maybe?"
"Ignore you! Huh! Sister... let's go over there and have a look? There seems to be a road over there?"
"Let's go and get familiar with the surrounding environment first."
"Xiaohu, please help me."
Chen Yao asked Xiaohu to help take down Yina, who was sleeping soundly from behind, and hold her in his arms instead. Then the two of them quickly caught up with the Yun Xi sisters in front.
