After Xu Yiyu left the cave, Takata and Kojima waited until her figure completely disappeared from their sight before returning to the bottom of the cave where there was a pool of blood and the demon sword Muramasa.

They also didn't expect that their dark and gloomy life as guards would actually welcome guests, although they were indeed "uninvited guests."

As he walked, Takata moved his shoulder which had just been twisted by Miss "Lingzi" and he grimaced in pain.

After Kojima saw this scene with a flashlight, he completely ignored Takata's face and laughed in front of him.

"Takada, how does it feel to be controlled by a woman? The wound on your shoulder looks pretty serious."

"Shut up! If I knew her identity, there's no way I would allow myself to get hurt like this!"

Takada retorted angrily, but the pain in his shoulder not only did not ease, but became even worse.

As Kojima watched his colleague's embarrassment, his eyes drifted towards the secret compartment where Muramasa was kept, and his smile gradually faded.

"By the way, did you feel it just now? After that woman named Lingzi put something in there, it seemed like the oppressive feeling in the cave suddenly became less strong."

"It's no wonder that Hinata-kun has great powers. It's not surprising that he can find something to suppress the sword. It can also keep our lives for a few more years."

Takada thought of the changes he had just felt and for once he did not argue with Kojima. After glancing at the location of the secret compartment, he quickly retracted his gaze and turned off his flashlight.

After the two of them stood back in their previous positions, Xiaodao looked back at the direction where "Lingzi" had just left, and suddenly narrowed his eyes as if he had thought of something.

"Takata."

"what's up?"

"Don't you think that woman just now doesn't look like someone from our country?"

Hearing this, Takata frowned and looked at Kojima who was squinting his eyes, then raised his hand and knocked him hard on the head.

"Idiot! So what if he doesn't look like one of our people! Hinata-kun certainly wouldn't work with someone who looks like a Japanese from our island country, otherwise people would be able to tell right away."

Kojima heard Takata's scolding and inexplicably felt that it made sense, but he also felt that something seemed wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Let's not talk about that. You are staying in the same space with these corpses. Don't you feel... creepy?"

"You've been guarding here for so long, haven't you gotten used to it yet? Miss Lingzi is right, you are indeed a coward."

Takada sneered and glanced at Kojima who was stroking his arms, and no longer responded to any of his words.

It is natural to be afraid if you can't put yourself in the right position. Unlike him, he knows that he just needs to continue to guard the next few days.

Xiaodao carefully looked at the location of the secret compartment again, and after silently repeating "God bless you" many times in his heart, he never dared to look in that direction again.

The Chosen System, which captured the entire conversation between the two, kept a careful eye on it and did not tell Xu Yiyu about it right away. Instead, it laughed for a long time in the depths of her consciousness.

I don’t know if the thinking patterns of these islanders are different from those of people from other countries on the blue planet. They can always make up all kinds of bizarre reasons to convince themselves to accept a fact that is bizarre in itself.

As for Xu Yiyu, he no longer thought about the two Japanese people whom he had long forgotten. He and the other three members of the exploration team set out on a journey to explore the next destination.

After learning that Xu Yiyu had encountered dangerous wild animals in the mountains more than once, Qi He's expression became noticeably more serious. He refused to let Xu Yiyu walk at the front of the scouting team no matter what, and instead he took the brunt of the lead.

As they went on, the rain and wind grew gentler, and the light that broke through the clouds grew brighter.

Seeing that this extreme weather was about to end, Rong Yan thought for a while based on what he had learned about the situation in the mountains, and expressed his judgment in a very cautious tone.

"Brother Qi, based on what I've learned, this storm should last less than an hour before it stops completely. By then, it would be best for the four of us to stop and rest, and eat something to replenish our energy."

After hiking in the mountains for so long in the dark, although Qi He and Xu Cheng didn't say anything, Xu Yiyu could see the fatigue on the faces of the three people, including Rong Yan.

Even the strongest person cannot endure traveling through the mountains all night under such severe weather conditions, let alone without any food intake.

"I think so, what about you?"

Xu Yiyu did not make a decision on his own. He just expressed his own wishes and sought the opinions of Xu Cheng and Qi He with his eyes.

"Indeed, traveling all night is very exhausting. I agree."

Qi He spent much more time outdoors than in the city throughout the year, so he naturally understood what was the most taboo in outdoor activities and expressed his agreement very straightforwardly.

"I'm a little tired. I can take a rest later."

Xu Cheng smiled slightly, and did not try to be brave. He just honestly stated the fact that he was a little tired.

It was at this moment that Xu Yiyu realized how practical the physical attribute that her own Tongzi had maxed out for her was. Moreover, she didn't even realize that she hadn't eaten anything along the way.

The four of them walked forward for about another forty minutes. The rain falling from the sky had become only a few drops, and the wind was no longer strong. Instead, it brought a hint of the smell of morning dew in the mountains and a just right cool feeling.

Xu Yiyu looked forward and saw the Hughes Plateau, which had lost some of its greenery. A smile finally appeared on his face.

Along the way, she truly felt for the first time how healing the beautiful scenery could be for a tired traveler.

There were already several waves of hikers who had arrived early on the yellow and green plateau. There were several cars for self-driving tours parked beside the only road leading to the Hughes Plateau. Many people leaned out of the cars and raised their phones to take pictures of the rare natural beauty before them.

Xu Yiyu looked up at the azure blue sky, and after noticing that there was no longer a trace of dark clouds covering it, he finally relaxed completely.

After choosing a location that would not affect tourists taking photos, Xu Yiyu walked over first, threw the outdoor bag on his back in front of him, fumbled in the bag for a while, and magically took out a spare picnic blanket and spread it on the ground.

In the next two minutes, under the surprised gazes of Qi He and Rong Yan, Xu Yiyu took out four packs of compressed biscuits, four packs of spicy strips from a certain brand, four bottles of water and a tube of sunscreen from his bag before closing his outdoor bag again.

Xu Cheng naturally took the bottle of water from Xu Yiyu, glanced at the high-protection sunscreen that Xu Yiyu was about to unscrew, and smiled and raised an eyebrow at her sister.

"You use it first. I have prepared several more tubes. It's enough."

Xu Yiyu noticed Xu Cheng's look and directly slapped the almost unused tube of sunscreen into Xu Cheng's hand, then reached into her bag and took out a brand new tube.

After sitting down on the picnic blanket, Qi He and Rong Yan looked at each other with complicated eyes, and both saw a hint of disbelief in each other's eyes.

They can understand the appearance of compressed biscuits, spicy strips, and water.

But sunscreen...it seems like they didn't even think of bringing this when they decided to go out and explore the route first.

Seeing the two men looking at each other in bewilderment, Xu Yiyu generously put the new tube of sunscreen in front of them, and then took out another tube... a brand new one.

"The ultraviolet rays in the mountains are too strong and it's easy to get sunburned. I personally recommend that you wear some protection."

After making the suggestion, Xu Yiyu placed water, spicy strips and compressed biscuits for the two people in front of them. Then, without greeting anyone else, he took out a pack of facial wipes from his outdoor bag, tore it open in front of the three people without a care, took off the goggles on his face, took out two wipes and began to wipe them simply.

Xu Cheng was much calmer about the situation than the other two men.

"Just think of her as Doraemon's magic pocket."
