My Arknights Life Diary

"Don't be so anxious. We can chase him later. Pick up the scattered things on the ground first."

Just now when the Rift Beast attacked Tu Fang and his group, some of their belongings fell out due to the chaos.

"Well, Xiaoke understands."

Xiao Ke nodded and agreed, but his eyes kept looking in the direction where the Ripping Beast escaped.

Xiao Ke started picking up the debris on the ground, but from time to time he would ask Tu Fang a question or two, whether he could go after him now.

Tu Fang had not agreed. The Rift Beast was now injured. If they delayed it for a while, it would consume more energy, making it easier to finish it off later.

As for whether the beast would run away or hide itself, Tu Fang was not worried about this. The heavy spear was still stuck in the beast's body, so it was impossible for it to run far away. As for if it hid itself, it would be easier to find it.

Although the visible range was further compressed due to the snowy weather and dim light, the snow brought by the snowy weather made the blood flowing from the body of the beast particularly obvious. There was already a layer of snow on the ground at this time, and there were dark red marks in the direction where the beast escaped.

-----------

"It should be right here."

Following the bloodstains on the ground, Tu Fang and his companions came to a small cave. The entrance to the cave was relatively small, and Tu Fang had to bend over to enter.

Tu Fang was not sure about the current condition of the split beast, and didn't know whether it had lost the ability to resist, so he decided to test the cave entrance first.

Tu Fang found a wooden stick and started knocking at the entrance of the cave. After the thumping sound, uh...

Well, although the bloodstains showed that the beast should have entered the cave, there was no movement in the cave, and from the outside, it was pitch black inside, and there was no idea what was going on. Moreover, Tu Fang also found that the sky was now darker than before, so he could only barely see the cave entrance...

In the end, Tu Fang had no other choice but to light a torch and go in to take a look.

哗

Tu Fang found a branch of suitable shape, tied some flammable materials to it, dipped it in some source stone fuel, and lit a fire.

Tu Fang first extended the torch towards the cave entrance.

"Yeah, it's still very dim, but I can barely see the location of the cave entrance."

Tu Fang muttered to himself.

"Xiao Ke, if I scream later, you rush in and pull me out, understand?"

"Well, Xiaoke understands⊙▽⊙"

Tu Fang looked at Xiao Ke and could only hope that if he really encountered danger later, she would be more reliable. After all, she had the highest fighting ability among Tu Fang's group.

In fact, at the beginning Tu Fang wanted to let Xiao Ke explore the way first, but looking at Xiao Ke, although Tu Fang understood that there should be no danger if he let her explore the way, but looking at the dark cave entrance, Tu Fang still couldn't let go and let her explore the way.

Tu Fang held up the homemade torch, bent over and slowly moved towards the depths of the cave. After about four or five meters, Tu Fang felt that the space began to slowly open up, but after walking about one meter, it shrank again. After Tu Fang passed the narrowed area, the space suddenly became open.

“I didn’t expect it to be so big inside.”

Tu Fang walked around the inner cave and found the cracked beast. It was curled up in a heap. Tu Fang poked it twice with the knife on his back, but found that it did not react, so he became bolder.

Tu Fang walked straight towards the cracked beast, observed it carefully, fiddled with it for a while, and was roughly sure that the cracked beast was dead, so he felt relieved and observed the cave carefully.

Combining the road and the space inside, Tu Fang thinks it is best described in one sentence:

At the beginning it was extremely narrow, and then he became enlightened. After taking dozens of steps, he suddenly became enlightened.

Tu Fang also discovered that the temperature inside was much warmer than outside, and there was nothing dirty on the ground except dust and some rock debris.

Oh, by the way, if we really want to talk about dirty things, the corpse of the split beast on the ground and the spreading blood should be counted.

After observing everything inside the cave, Tu Fang returned along the same route. There was another narrow distance. Tu Fang came out of the cave and met the turtle wandering at the entrance of the cave.

"Ceobe, look, Tu Fang is coming out!"

"Stop, stop, stop, what's wrong with you?"

"Guigui saw that you had been in there for a long time and didn't come out, so he planned to go in and look for you himself. Tu Fang, didn't you say that we can't just go in casually? So Xiaoke kept stopping Guigui."

Xiao Ke added on the side.

Hmm...Tu Fang thought about it carefully and found that he had indeed stayed in the cave for a while, and it took a lot of time just to observe and test whether the split beast was dead or not...

"Okay, okay, I get it. Hurry up and take your things with you and come in with me. It will be dark soon. Staying in there overnight should be a good choice."

"Ok!"

After saying that, Guigui, Xiaoke and Tu Fang picked up some items that they had put on the ground before and prepared to take them into the cave.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Guigui rubbed his head and accidentally bumped into a rock. This cave was very low for Tu Fang and he had to bend over to enter, but it was just right for Guigui. Guigui's height was just about the same height as the entrance area of ​​the cave. Just now, Guigui relied on his short height and didn't carefully look at the road, causing him to bump into a rock protruding from the ground.

"Hey, I told you before, can't you just look at the road? Oh, forget it, there's medicine in my backpack, do you want me to apply it on you?"

"Forget it, Tu Fang. The ointment you applied to me before really hurt. Now I think it's fine if I don't apply it."

Guigui had fallen and been bruised several times before, so Tu Fang applied some ointment that he had bought in Chernobyl. Guigui cried out in pain, and then he refused to apply it again..........

"Tu Fang, Gui Gui, hurry up, Xiao Ke is here!"

The one who spoke was Xiao Ke. She was the fastest one to get in and the first to reach the inner space. Although she accidentally fell several times on the way because of some hidden rocks, it was nothing to Xiao Ke.

----------

"Huh, finally done."

Tu Fang and his team cleaned up the interior of the cave, then built a fire and spread sleeping bags next to it. As for the folding tent, since it took up more space than the ones they carried with them, it was still in the car outside the woods.

Tu Fang looked outside from inside the cave. It had already become completely dark, and the wind and snow had intensified. Even though there was a fire inside the cave, Tu Fang could still feel the cold.

"What would you like to eat now?"

Tu Xiang asked Guigui and Xiaoke who were sitting around the fire.

"Hmm............Xiao Ke wants to eat that."

"Turtle wants to taste what that tastes like, too."

"Well............"

Tu Fang didn't know how to answer.
