This scene, Lu Zhe also did not know whether or not to say hello.
Forget it, in order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment between boys and girls, let's be a gentleman!
Let's not talk, let's stand by and wait for Qianqian to finish peeing and put on her pants before speaking.
But at this moment Shen Bing splashed out of the water and asked straightforwardly as soon as the big sister came out of the water: "Lu Zhe, have you found Qianqian?"
It was too late to cover my mouth. The pleasing sound of water stopped abruptly, and Lin Qianqian was so panicked that she stumbled and fell from the stalactite onto another rock.
"Ouch, it hurts so much..."
The two hurried to help Lin Qianqian up.
Enduring the pain, Qianqian hurriedly pulled up her pants in panic: "Lu Zhe, you...you've been here for a while!"
Shen Bing shook her head: "No, Lu Zhe was only 30 seconds earlier than me."
"30 seconds! You were..."
"Qianqian, don't get me wrong, I was just afraid to scare you..."
Qianqian said coyly: "It scared me even more this way."
Shen Bing asked: "Speaking of which, what were you doing here, Qianqian?"
"I...I was...going to the bathroom!"
Shen Bing was stunned for a moment, and said softly to Lu Zhe: "Lu Zhe, shouldn't you give the girl some privacy, how could you still peep at her using the bathroom."
"Sis Bing, I can say responsibly that this is a misunderstanding..."
"It's okay, Sis Bing!"
Before Lu Zhe could finish, Lin Qianqian thoughtfully spoke up for him: "Perhaps Lu Zhe did not intentionally peek at me, and even if he did, I...I don't really mind..."
Girls are so thoughtful!
No, why do I feel that subconsciously she still treats me as a peeping tom?
But it doesn't seem like we should get hung up on this issue right now.
"Qianqian, how did you get here?"
"I...I felt there was a hole while I was taking a bath in the hot spring, so I wanted to explore it. When I was about to run out of breath, I wanted to go back and found that the dark hole of the hot spring was connected here. Since I was already here anyway..." At this point, Qianqian lowered her head shyly.
Lu Zhe nodded: "Well, since you're already here, why not mark your territory before heading back?"
Qianqian blushed: "That's not what I meant!"
"Oh Lu Zhe, you've made Qianqian feel so embarrassed."
Lu Zhe nodded: "But if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have discovered this place. Speaking of which, what kind of place is this..."
Only then did everyone start paying attention to their surroundings.
Looking ahead, the terrain here became higher and higher, resulting in the water level becoming shallower and shallower towards the front.
The water was chest-deep when they first emerged from the surface, but barely reached their calves by the time they got to where Qianqian peed.
The water temperature here felt even hotter, and the steam still left the walls wet.
The moist walls and some rocks were covered with mosses glowing green, so the cave was not completely dark.
"What is this stuff?"
Lu Zhe touched the moss, and information about it appeared in his mind!
"Moss subspecies: Bryophyta division Bryophyta subphylum Luminous moss order Luminous moss family Luminous moss genus..."
The luminous moss originally distributed in the mountain caves of Hokkaido and Changbai Mountain, has now appeared as a subspecies here.
But it’s also normal!
Many volcanoes can evolve subspecies over thousands of years due to their unique geographical environment and climatic characteristics.
Edible?
Don't know!
But for now, the fact that it prevents them from being in complete darkness means it is a relatively friendly species.
"Where does the path ahead lead to?"
Lu Zhe looked around: "It should be in the direction of the volcanic center!"
Shen Bing pondered: "If this passage is open, does it mean we may be able to reach the interior of the volcano through here?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "There is a certain probability, but it may also lead to other places. My two beauties, it's getting late, do you think we should move on or go back!"
Lin Qianqian said: "I think since we made it here with great difficulty, we should go take a look."
Shen Bing thought for a moment and said, "I also think we should. Let's walk ahead first and take a quick look at the route. If we can discover something, even better. If we encounter any insurmountable difficulties, we’ll just turn back the same way and come back next time."
"That's the plan!" Lu Zhe thought for a moment: "Wait for me, I'm going to get some stuff!"
Lu Zhe dived into the water again to retrieve his backpack.
The dirty clothes were not washed yet, and it was inconvenient to carry them all over, so he simply left them there for now.
The three of them walked for more than 40 meters with their bags on their backs, passed through a cluster of stalactites, walked another 200 meters, and finally saw light in the distance.
Passed through what place?
Not sure!
The three were excited and quickened their pace towards the light!
A minute later, they arrived at the cave entrance.
Another cave entrance!
Suddenly revealed!
Lu Zhe knew that what lay before their eyes was the belly of the volcano.
The surrounding walls were all smooth rock, with the occasional stubborn tree taking root in the cracks!
About ten meters below the cave entrance was the vegetation at the bottom of the volcano, which was a circular rainforest area about 200 meters in diameter.
From this angle, the surface could not be seen at all, only the plants of varying heights occupying the entire space at the bottom of the volcano, forming a relatively independent ecological world.
More than a dozen beautiful birds were chasing and flying in this small piece of forest.
A beautiful unknown parrot landed on a branch and let out a "caw caw" call to another companion resting nearby.
Qianqian couldn’t help but exclaim: "Oh my god, this isn’t the bottom of a volcano at all. It’s clearly the aviary of a large forest zoo!"
Lu Zhe nodded. What he noticed was that the abundant vegetation here was probably provided with a lot of nutrients from the bird droppings.
Of course, more importantly!
If it were an active volcano, such a rich ecological environment would probably not form at the bottom.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
