Chapter 1664 [Fufu's Bizarre Adventure 56] The Disappearing Mountain
"Did you feel anything?" Kio, who was wearing an invisible cloak and moving slowly under the cover of the shadows of the trees, stopped and asked his companion.
The taciturn Eliade shook his head slightly.
Instead, the hunting cat Fork who was following behind him spoke up, "No, meow, this area feels very peaceful, meow, and it's not the kind of oppressive, disturbing silence meow.
It's the most common kind, like the small woods at the entrance of the village."
Keo scratched his head and said, "To be honest, I feel the same way. I don't feel nervous at all. On the contrary, I feel a little bit uneasy."
"Be careful and keep moving forward." Iliad adjusted his invisible suit. "How far is it from the sinkhole we are targeting?"
Keo glanced at the map in his hand and said, "We are very close. The straight-line distance is less than two kilometers."
The two men and the cat calmed down, tensed their nerves, and continued to move forward. They did not encounter any monsters on the road except for two blind dog dragons.
More than half an hour later, they arrived at the edge of the tiankeng. The whole journey could be said to be uneventful.
The view from inside the tiankeng is also quite broad. Standing at the mouth of the tiankeng and looking down, one can see almost everything except some trees and shrubs that cannot hide large creatures.
There are no high-risk monsters at all, and there is not even an ancient dragon taking a nap in the sinkhole.
If someone was more careless, they could choose to go back at this time, but to have come all the way here, both Kio and Eliade were very cautious.
Even though they found nothing unusual, they decided to use ropes to descend into the sinkhole for a more detailed investigation.
The two people and the cat spent an entire afternoon inspecting the tiankeng thoroughly.
We did find some traces left by large monsters, such as the claw marks of a male fire dragon and a few scales of a Thousand Blade Dragon.
But this tiankeng is the lair of many large monsters, so these discoveries cannot really be considered "abnormal."
In the evening, they climbed back to the pit along the ropes and prepared to start their return journey.
Glancing at the afterglow of the setting sun, Fork looked a little disappointed, "It feels like I wasted a lot of time, meow."
Elijah's expression was as calm as ever. "Nothing unusual is the best news. Let's go. We should be able to get back to the camp before it gets completely dark."
The man and the cat were about to leave, but they found that there was still someone standing there.
Elijah turned around in confusion, "Kio?"
The latter did not respond to him, but just stared blankly to the west, looking dazed.
"Kio?"
Elijah raised his voice a little, and the dazed double-blade user finally came to his senses.
He quickly took out the map from his prop bag, carefully confirmed the terrain on the map, and then looked up to the west again.
He murmured, “The last time Edelica and I came here, it was also evening. We thought it was a pity that the mountain in the west blocked the sunset.
But, that mountain has disappeared?"
The three investigation teams returned to Jiangbo Village one after another.
Although the river bend that Edilika and the other two were responsible for investigating was the nearest location, they were the last team to return to the village.
The reason was simple: the other two teams traveled back and forth by airship, but they were the only ones walking.
Fu Fu, Sai Er, and even Yu Pao, who had never experienced such high-intensity trekking for several consecutive days, were all exhausted.
Anyway, they had nothing to do with the meeting to report on the investigation, so as soon as they returned to the village, Edilica announced the disbandment of the meeting and asked them to go home and rest.
She herself hurried to the village chief's house.
The good boy Sail didn't want to worry his family, so he put his hands on his trouser legs, bowed to thank instructor Edelica and said goodbye, then nodded to Fu Fu.
"Ms. Fulan Fufu, thank you for your guidance this time. I will go back first. If there is anything I can help you with, please feel free to come to me."
After saying this, the boy prepared to leave.
Fufu grabbed the strap of his backpack and pulled him back, "I need your help with something right now!"
On the way back, after listening to Instructor Edelica talk about the new weapons, and hearing from Sail that there were some very skilled craftsmen in Jiangbo Village, she couldn't wait.
Sai Er, who was almost dragged to stagger by her, looked helpless, "At least let me go back and tell my mother that I am safe."
Fu Fu also realized that her previous behavior was a bit rude. She awkwardly loosened Saier's straps and took a half step back. "Hey, it's not that urgent."
You're obviously stamping your feet in anxiety, Sail muttered to himself.
He could actually guess the latter's thoughts.
Fu Fu probably felt that with a "local" like him helping to say hello, the craftsmen would be more attentive.
"The workshop of the craftswoman I told you about is less than half a block away from my home. You can go to my house for a cup of tea first. If my father is at home, he will be happy to help.
Or, you can just go to the workshop and wait for me. I'll come back after I get home to report that I'm safe." Saier suggested.
Fu Fu tilted her head and thought about it.
After working together for a few days, the two of them can be called friends and partners.
Since someone has invited me, it would be rude to refuse.
"Then let's go and bother you on the way." Fu Fu said with a smile.
Yupa looked at Fu Fu, then at Sai Er, and blinked his round eyes several times in succession.
Fu Fu stretched out her hand and grabbed its scalp, pulling it hard, and said with a smile: "If you dare to say anything naughty, I will pull out the hair on your ears one by one."
The fish steak, whose face was flattened, chose to admit defeat, "I don't have anything to say, meow"
Having warned her friend Elu about his constant dirty talk, Fufu followed Cell towards his home.
The house of Sayre's family is not big, and the front door is very simple, no different from the houses of other villagers in the village.
Logically speaking, with his father's status as a high-ranking hunter and his income, he could have bought a more luxurious house, but they did not do so.
Fu Fu can understand this mentality very well.
Her parents were actually in the same situation. They gave up the family mansion that took up half the street and bought a small house and moved out.
The main focus is comfort and warmth.
Sail used the key to open the door and just happened to meet Keogh who was walking out of the house.
The latter's expression was very serious, and it softened a little when he saw the two little guys.
He nodded at Fu Fu, "I heard that you brought back new information, and the village chief organized a meeting, so I rushed to attend it.
Nora, Sail, treat them well."
After saying that, he left quickly.
Following Keogh to the door was a petite lady, probably Sayre's mother.
She has bright golden hair, big eyes, and although she is dressed simply, she still looks beautiful and young.
"Mom, I'm back." Sail bent down slightly and gave his mother a gentle hug.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
"No, it went smoothly this time."
It seems that there is a good relationship between mother and son.
Fu Fu couldn't help but think of her own mother. If it was that woman, she would probably hook her arm around her neck and say, "Hey, you're back alive? Let's go! Let's have a good meal!"
"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you yet." Sayre stepped aside and said, "This is Francesca Sterling, my companion in this operation. She took great care of me this time.
This is my mother.”
Looking at the elegant and noble girl in front of her, Ms. Nora's eyes sparkled. As she led the two into the house, she kept saying, "You must be exhausted from the journey. Come in, I'll make some tea!"
She didn't actually have any extra thoughts, but this was the first time her son brought back friends of the same age, so she was naturally in a good mood.
"Meow——" Yupai looked at Fu Fu mischievously.
Fufu grabbed its scalp again and pulled hard, "Shut up."
Ps.cp or something, it's not necessary, I'm only a few years old, it's still early--
