Being the King of War's Smart Wife
About Something Under The Gorge
IN THE END, Mu Xianzhai reluctantly agreed. Since his wife likes it, then everything is fine. Given that on the first day the retired emperor and Mu Hongshan were free, all his favorite foods were touched by them.
This time it was only him who ate. Mu Hongzhi and Lit were no big deal. So that after imagining good dumplings, he began to feel his appetite back up.
Mu Xianzhai also brought him some grilled corn he stole from He Ze. The corn that is smeared with butter and burned has a sweet and savory taste.
In the end, time passed quickly.
In accordance with Mu Xianzhai's promise, he allowed his wife to eat ramen in everyone's sleeping hours. Lict and Mu Hongzhi guarded the tent so it was impossible to sleep early. Therefore, they also ate the ramen that Li Chang Su had made.
Mu Xianzhai could not eat the excess spicy so chose to enjoy his dumplings alone. As for He Ze and the mutsi white rabbit, they immediately got their night snack. Boiled beans and carrots. For a mutated white horse alone, it can only eat grass. But he liked to eat fruit so Li Chang Su took out a lot of fruit from the artifact room.
When midnight came, everyone was sleepy. They slept in their tents. Just in case tonight, the three beasts could stay up all night. So they won't worry there will be an attack at night.
Mu Xianzhai hugged his wife all night and slept very soundly ...
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The next morning, everyone woke up quite simultaneously. He Ze is probably the most drowsiness resistant. As for Xue Zi and the mutated white horse sleeping during the early hours of the morning. Inevitably, the white squirrel only bore the burden of both. He said mutated animals, but invited to stay up just not strong.
So that when Li Chang Su and Mu Xianzhai exited the tent, the firewood had already begun to thin. Mu Hongzhi went looking for another firewood to make breakfast in the morning. While the Lict went to the nearby river to pick up the chunks of ice, let Mu Xianzhai melt them.
"Su'er ... Are you planning to go down?" Mu Xianzhai recalled what his wife said last night about today's plans.
"Yes. The ravine under the broken bridge seems strange. I wonder how deep it is down there. We can't all go. I was worried that something else was going on down below until it was difficult to save everyone," Li Chang Su replied.
"Let me be with Su'er ... They were waiting on the side of the bridge," Mu Xianzhai said immediately making a decision.
Li Chang Su pouted. "I know your decision cannot be changed" he said.
"of course. I'm making a decision as a husband." The man smiled triumphantly.
"..." - ".Three black lines slid on Li Chang Su's head. Don't forget, all your treasures are mine now! Her thought.
Unfortunately, Mu Xianzhai had probably forgotten about this matter. The three Lict and Mu Hongzhi returned from their respective duties, Li Chang Su immediately made his point. Today, he and Mu Xianzhai were going to go down the abyss. Just to find out what's down there and how it could have formed.
After all, that boundless abyss was simply impossible to form naturally. There must be another reason. Although Lict was worried and wanted to know about it as well, but he always knew Li Chang Su's plan. Not to mention Mu Hongzhi who could only bite a finger.
After breakfast, Li Chang Su took out many tools to descend the abyss. However, he chose a slightly lower location to get down. Because if from the edge of the bridge, too high. Until finally Li Chang Su chose a place that was quite hidden. Even the snow had become a lump of ice.
"Daughter Xian ... Is it okay to get down from here?" The litt feel unsure.
"There are rocks on the cliff. This makes it easy for me to get down. Not to mention, the rope could be tied to a nearby tree. You two are here and wait for us to return," Li Chang Su said as he put a safety cord on his body. So did Mu Xianzhai who was assisted.
"Sepupu In-par ... If there's anything to take, just take it and give it to me." Mu Hongzhi thought of the treasure.
After making sure if the safety rope was properly installed, Li Chang Su went straight down. Mu Xianzhai was initially hesitant about the safety rope, but seeing his wife come down easily, he followed her. There are a lot of rolled safety straps next to the Lict. I don't know how many hundred meters. But at least the scrolls are very thick.
Getting downwards, Li Chang Su felt a strong urge. A kind of emptiness and fear. There is not a single mutated beast in this place. Or maybe they haven't found it yet.
"Be careful with snakes and other insects." The girl was warning Mu Xianzhai.
"Yes," he said.
After descending three hundred meters, Li Chang Su was exhausted. He held back the safety rope and leaned back briefly on the rocks that were slightly taped to the snow. Mu Xianzhai was beside him. Looking down the abyss, the girl felt dizzy. He was too weak to the heights. Sometimes you have to be brave to face it.
"Well, don't look down" said the man, calming him down.
"How deep is it? Is it visible?"
"Yet. It's already three hundred meters. It's getting uncomfortable."
"You're right. Then we'll use another way first." Li Chang Su took out something again from the artifact room. This time it's some kind of measuring rope. It might be able to measure a depth of five hundred meters."
He dropped a measuring rope that had an iron pendulum at the end. After quite a while, the two hundred meters had yet to show any signs of reaching the end. Until finally, Li Chang Su felt that the weight of the measuring rope became light. He looked at Mu Xianzhai in astonishment.
Unfortunately, the ability of the eyes of the god Li Chang Su could not penetrate the darkness too deeply. The girl pulled back the measuring rope until she saw a burning mark on the rope. Not to mention, the iron pendulum had already been cut off leaving behind a hint of fire.
Both speculated that it was not land, but ... fire?
"Is there a lava river there? But why not look?" the girl asked, feeling strange.
"Maybe black lava. Look at this." Mu Xianzhai pointed out a part of the rope that had charcoal marks. "It should be that if it was ordinary lava, the marks wouldn't blacken like this."
"Then from that ... Below us currently—"
Suddenly the heat increased. There was a gust of hot wind pounding the bodies of the two until the moment Mu Xianzhai and Li Chang Su glanced down the shock— flashed. No wonder the heat is rising. Currently, the reddish-black liquid was seen rising rapidly. As Mu Xianzhai said, it was probably black lava.
Li Chang Su's heart was pounding. "Good! We return. Hurry along!" He immediately went up at quite a hasty pace.
Mu Xianzhai also had a serious face behind his mask and immediately chased after Li Chang Su. But going up was harder than going down so Li Chang Su who was wearing gloves was still slightly slipping.
The man immediately caught hugging his wife's body. Black lava rose faster than the speed they were moving at this moment. "I'll take you. Hold on tight!"
Mu Xianzhai immediately used the science of body lightening and jumped over some of the prominent rocks on the cliff. Li Chang Su chose to hold Mu Xianzhai's body and calm his racing heart. The hot air is still chasing them.
On the edge of the cliff, Mu Hongzhi and Litt felt that there was something strange about the safety rope. Previously seen pulled tight, now even looser.
"Are the two having problems down there?" gumam.
