The girl who was punished by the gods counterattacked and became the group's favorite

but……

The boy didn't believe that the two girls would help them regardless of their past grudges. He could only say that they might have other plans that hadn't been exposed yet.

"Do you think King Muslime was really led away by those two?"

"What if the things that the five of us couldn't get were taken away by those two people who don't look that impressive?"

"But don't forget that when we were inside the ball just now, this vine was also growing."

"Your words remind us that if the two of them lead the Slime King away, no one will reinforce the ball."

"But if it was just the two of them, why did they let us out? And there are some wood slimes next to us, maybe they did it."

"Alright, we've wasted too much time on this slime. No matter what those two people's intentions are, they let us out. We can't do anything to them openly.

It would be better for us to rest here for a while, eat something and then prepare to go on another route."

The captain had spoken, and the remaining three people stopped thinking.

The young man controlling the swarm of insects had a feeling that it was as expected, but since no one in the team wanted to pursue the matter anymore, he didn't know what to say.

Let's see if we can meet in the individual competition then...

Tia didn't know that she was being targeted. It was already twelve o'clock. She opened the bracelet and looked at the current ranking.

Their team is now ranked second, only twenty points away from first place.

If there really is a Slime King behind that waterfall, and if they capture it, they can take the first place!

I was looking at the rankings when I saw the message from Giselle.

"We have already reached the waterfall, but Maruna is also here, and there are two people following him. There are three people in their team in total.

They seemed to have noticed that there was a hidden cave behind the waterfall. We were hiding somewhere nearby, not daring to make any rash moves, fearing they would follow us in and we wouldn't be able to get them out.

Now they are trying to figure out how to get in, and they are not sure when they will be ready to do it.”

"Tia, have you seen the message sent by Gisele?" Fina also saw the message sent by Gisele, and felt a little anxious. Why did she always encounter such things today?

"I see. I'm afraid we can't rest here now. We have to go over and help them early." Tia said while sending a message.

"We'll go over there now. Don't move. We've already taken care of it. You can eat nearby first."

"Okay, if there's any new information here, I'll let you know."

After finishing the conversation, Tia and Fina hurried over there, basically running all the way. They would stop for a while to relax when they were tired, and then eat some bread in a hurry.

After rushing for a while, we finally arrived before Maruna entered the waterfall.

"Tia!" Gisele called out softly, urging the two to come over here.

The five cats were communicating quietly behind the big tree and bushes.

"That group of people is right over there. They check the bracelet from time to time. They're probably discussing a solution with their teammates."

As if to confirm Gisai's words, before Gisai finished speaking, he saw the remaining two members of Maruna's team rushing over.

The five people gathered together to discuss something, but in less than a moment they were ready to set off to the back of the waterfall.

There were space-based people in their team, and they slipped in. Then Maruna quickly used his magic power to create layers of stone steps on the stone wall at the edge of the waterfall.

Then a large platform was built next to the cave entrance behind the waterfall. The healing people helped Maruna recover. Maruna single-handedly catalyzed the formation of stone steps above his head, abruptly changing the direction of the water flow.

The few remaining people in the team also quickly ran into the cave. At the last moment when the others in the team went in, Maruna also went in and immediately withdrew his strength.

The whole process was extremely dangerous. After all, if Maruna fell from that height without being able to withstand the huge impact of the water flow, he would suffer a fracture at best and even die at worst.

Seeing that the water curtain had returned to its original state, Tia and the others no longer sat idly by and acted according to plan.

They entered the cave together. The cave was filled with moisture, making it extremely damp and dark.

The huge curtain of water also blocks the sunlight, preventing it from shining in, so even though the soil here is very moist, there are no plants.

Only the moist soil remained, as did the footsteps of the five people in front.

There is indeed a different world behind this water curtain. After entering, you can still feel the end even after going around in circles.

However, water kept dripping down from the stone wall above, and the clothes gradually got wet and stuck to the body, making people feel extremely uncomfortable, not to mention that the temperature inside the cave was also dropping as they walked deeper and deeper.

Tia couldn't help but rub her arms with her hands across her chest, trying to generate heat through friction to relieve the cold, but this little warmth was obviously only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

However, a more suffocating problem was placed before them, and three forks in the road appeared before them.

There were footprints at the three forks in the road, and there was not much water dripping from the pits left by the footprints, which obviously showed that people had just walked past.

Juno pulled Latia's sleeve, and Latia understood what Juno meant and took out the Light Slime King.

They didn't expect that the little guy who stayed behind out of weakness could help them so much along the way.

After Juno and the Light Slime King communicated, they led everyone to the middle road. There were several more forks in the road, but with Juno and the Light Slime King there, there was no need to worry about which road to choose.

The summer heat had not yet faded outside the water curtain, and no one expected such a situation to happen, so they were all wearing summer clothes.

The temperature inside the water curtain is even lower than that in early autumn. The coolness is hidden in the thick moisture in the air, clinging to everyone like a maggot attached to the bone.

But fortunately, everyone gradually began to adapt to this temperature. Apart from the discomfort of wet clothes sticking to the body, everyone gradually stopped being timid.

"Have you ever heard of water slimes mutating into ice slimes?"

"There's a record of this in the book, but the probability is extremely low. The academy wouldn't have gone out of their way to capture one specifically for our assessment, would they?"

The only response to this question was the echo inside the cave. After all, if it weren't for the ice slime, the simple water slime wouldn't cause such a large temperature difference between the temperature inside the cave and the temperature outside.
