Chapter 163: Chapter 137 Cave Sky Pool_1

Looking at her two teammates, one in front and one behind, Qian Yixiu had plenty to be sentimental about. With them, not only could they help her a lot, but she also wouldn’t feel lonely along the way.

Walking alone on Xishi Mountain for a long time could easily lead to a breakdown. Besides dark brown and red-yellow boulders, it took a long time to see a hint of green, which was still far out of reach on the cliffs. Being the only living creature was also terrifying.

The deeper she went, the higher she climbed, the lower the temperature became. In the mountains, apart from their voices, there was only the sound of running water and the howling wind, not even the chirp of birds. After climbing the mountain for nearly an hour, an exhausted Qian Yixiu sat down to rest and nibble on some food to regain her strength.

In front of them lay a series of knife-cut-like peaks, some of their snowy caps have not yet melted.

Mountains like these could only be traversed by the Fierce Red Monkey, or by the helicopters from her previous life.

Though they were high, they were not thick, with many caves inside. However, most of these caves were Death Caves; one could enter with life but not leave with it, as they were inhabited by creatures Qian Yixiu didn’t even recognize, as well as blood-sucking Bats. Other caves were dead-ends, or led to cliffs, and some were caves within caves, from which one could become hopelessly lost if they took a wrong turn.

Passing through the caves might seem less arduous than climbing, but she had to be even more cautious and could not make a single misstep.

She took out her previous notes from her bag, and rehearsed them silently. Although she had floated over this route thousands of times before, and it was engraved in her memory, she still felt uneasy.

She grasped Monkey Brother’s hand and said, "Monkey Brother, remember the way. Next time you might be the one to come here by yourself to fetch things for your sister." After finishing, she also rubbed the back of its neck.

Monkey Brother hummed in comfort and didn’t forget to nod.

After resting for a while, they continued on. When they arrived at the front of Dashan and turned left, they passed two cave entrances and stopped at the edge of the third one. This cave was quite long and required a torch.

Qian Yixiu lit a torch, letting White Wolf take the lead, herself in the middle, and Monkey Brother at the back as they made their way into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, they were hit by a wave of damp and cold air. With spring water tinkling and the ground somewhat slippery beneath them.

When she was a ghost, she had been afraid of blood-sucking Bats or other things in the cave, so she had checked every nook and cranny. This cave was safe, which is why she had chosen this path.

Now, returning as a human, accompanied by the formidable Fierce Red Monkey and White Wolf, her heart hammered, almost leaping out of her chest in nervous anticipation of an accident.

It seemed that she had been too optimistic before.

She always felt that, owing to her near seven-year ghostly experience, she had developed a toughness and patience beyond that of ordinary people, as well as an extraordinary psychological fortitude and courage.

To ensure absolute safety, she had floated down this path thousands of times and believed it to be secure, without any issues.

But she had overlooked the most difficult emotion for humans to conquer—fear. She was now a person, not a ghost, and she could not overcome this emotion.

In these remote mountains and in this pitch-black cave, accompanied by ghostly howling winds, even though she knew this path was free of man-eating beasts from her exploration, she was still afraid.

Then there was the chance of accidents. None had occurred in the previous six years, but that did not mean they wouldn’t in the future.

She had overestimated her own abilities.

If not for the company of Monkey Brother and White Wolf, even with more people, she might not have dared to go on and would likely have turned back immediately. Though life might be poorer, safety was paramount.

Luckily, she Qian Yixiu had a robust protagonist aura, which had brought her the unexpected companionship of Monkey Brother, and Dashan who brought back the fierce yet grateful White Wolf.

After nearly half an hour, they finally emerged from the cave and saw daylight again. Qian Yixiu felt as if she had escaped to heavens.

She extinguished the torch and continued on the path, coming to a steep, narrow track. After climbing three to four hundred meters, they reached a cliff edge. To the left of the cliff was a stone path about a meter wide, built along the mountainside. On one side lay a bottomless abyss, and on the other, peaks reaching into the clouds. She walked with extreme caution, fearing an accident.

Fortunately, her previous life’s passion for rock climbing, coupled with her deliberate practice in this life, and her strong psychological makeup, allowed her to navigate this perilous path.

Before long, their way was blocked by a tall, narrow wall of black rock. It seemed they had reached a dead-end.

Stopping, Qian Yixiu took the bag off Monkey Brother’s back, pulled out a small ax, and started to strike at the base of the rock wall. Along a thin circle of stones at the bottom, she broke through after a few hits, creating a hole through which a person, a monkey, and a wolf could cross.
