When we arrived at the small lake, we could see a waterfall the last time we came here, but today there was only a small stream of water.

"Xiao Yibai seemed to be able to read minds," he said. "It's hot this summer, and it hasn't rained much in the past month, so the waterfall is naturally gone. I'll bring you back when it rains more. The water will be so strong that it'll soak your dress from where you're standing now."

Mu Xiyue had only seen waterfalls in her previous life after the apocalypse, but the environment in the wild was extremely harsh at that time. There were not only zombies, but also mutated plants and animals. There were even piranhas in the pool under the waterfall, so she didn't think it was beautiful.

Xiao Yibai told everyone else to stay up there and not to follow, and he took Mu Xiyue down the stone steps on one side.

Mu Xiyue followed Xiao Yibai into the lake. It was her first time going into the water since coming here. She took a deep breath, held her breath and quickly dived into the water.

Xiao Yibai reached out and grabbed Mu Xiyue's hand and led her down. There was a small hole on the underwater mountain wall, probably less than one meter square. After entering the hole and swimming for a while, Xiao Yibai gestured to her to go up.

Mu Xiyue had never held her breath for such a long time before. She estimated it must have been more than a minute. If she held her breath any longer, she would have passed out. When her head emerged from the water, she could only feel the darkness inside, so dark that there was no light at all.

"Are you okay? Can you still swim?"

Xiao Yibai's voice was a little muffled in the cave, and there was a slight echo.

Mu Xiyue took out a flashlight from the space and shone it on. "It's okay, I almost suffocated, but I can still swim."

The flashlight swept through the cave. Now they should be in an underground river. The space above the river was not large. There were smooth stone walls on both sides and no place to go ashore.

Xiao Yibai floated on the water and said, "We can reach the shore by swimming half a mile further. Isn't this flashlight afraid of water?"

Last time, Mu Xiyue gave Xiao Yibai one. Xiao Yibai usually carried it with him. This time, he took it off and put it in the room before going down. He was afraid that it would be damaged after being soaked in water. If he had known that it was not afraid of water, he would have brought it out as well.

The flashlight was a little thicker than her thumb. She was about to bite it to illuminate it when she suddenly remembered that there was a headlamp in the space. She quickly took out the headlamp and put it on, and handed one to Xiao Yibai as well.

Xiao Yibai also followed her example, put on the headlamp, and swam slowly in with her.

Soon a fork appeared on the left side of the underground river. After turning into the fork, a cave hall of more than ten square meters appeared in front of them. The two went ashore in this cave hall.

Mu Xiyue was also very curious when looking at this not very big cave hall. "It really is a different cave world. There should be more than one cave world here, right?"

Xiao Yibai chuckled, "Of course, there's more in there. No need to go into the water now."

As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the cave and pressed hard on the wall. The stone wall slowly opened, revealing a cave entrance about one meter wide.

After the two of them entered, he pressed on the stone wall inside again, and the cave entrance slowly closed again.

"Damn, this mechanism is awesome." Mu Xiyue couldn't help but swear, then she covered her mouth belatedly and smiled at Xiao Yibai. She and her teammates were used to speaking rudely during the apocalypse, but she had changed a lot after coming here.

This cave hall is much larger than the previous one, and there are two entrances in different directions. The headlamp light shines through it, making the shadows dim. Fortunately, Mu Xiyue has been in the apocalypse, otherwise she would be scared.

Xiao Yibai took her to one of the cave entrances and said, "Go in and change your wet clothes first. It's cold in there, don't catch a cold."

It was indeed much colder inside the cave than outside. If it was 35 degrees outside, then it was only 25 degrees inside. My wet clothes were really chilly.

Mu Xiyue obediently turned into the cave and found that it seemed to be a small single room with a natural stone bench. There was a protruding stone on the ground of the cave, about one meter high.

The stone bench was definitely not very clean, so she wiped it with a cloth before taking out the dry clothes and putting them on it. After changing her clothes, she put the wet clothes into the space and then put Xiao Yibai's dry clothes on the stone bench.

Xiao Yibai stood a few steps away with his back to the cave entrance. When he heard the voice, he turned around and saw Mu Xiyue, who was wearing a crimson purple suit and looked heroic with a unique charm.

"Xiao Yibai, your clothes are placed inside. Go change quickly. Change your wet clothes and place them inside. I'll put them away later."

Xiao Yibai nodded, "Okay, Yueyue looks good in anything she wears."

After they both changed, Xiao Yibai led her into another cave entrance. Then came a long, winding path, with a hidden river on the left and a road on the right. Fortunately, the cave was high enough, though a little narrow, so walking inside didn't feel overwhelming. After walking around for about two quarters of an hour, the path ahead became increasingly narrow, and the cave ceiling had dropped significantly. To get through, one had to bend over, and it was easy to fall into the river if one wasn't careful.

Xiao Yibai stopped and groped the edge of the underground river. The mountain wall slowly opened again, and there was a dim light inside.

Mu Xiyue was stunned. Could there be another exit here?

Xiao Yibai took her hand and walked into the cave. The light came from the stone wall.

"Why is it glowing here?" Mu Xiyue was very curious. It didn't look like there was anything glowing embedded in it.

Xiao Yibai led her to the edge of the stone wall and pointed at the glowing spot. "There are quite a few of these glowing stones in this cave. They're different from fluorite, and I don't know what kind they are. Two years ago, I dug up a few and polished them into night-shining pearls. They're much brighter than ordinary night-shining pearls. Can you tell what kind of stone this is?"

Mu Xiyue shook her head. "You really think too highly of me. How could I know something you don't know? But this light is different from the night-shining pearls I've seen before. The night-shining pearls I've seen before were green, and this is white."

The two of them no longer worried about what kind of stone was glowing. Mu Xiyue recalled what she had learned. Fluorite can glow, but the prerequisite is that it must be exposed to light first. However, Mu Xiyue thought that maybe she remembered it wrong.

Because this cave hall has light, it is easy to see what is inside. Once the entrance we just entered is closed, it becomes an enclosed space. The cave hall is very large, probably at least four or five hundred square meters!

This time the mechanism was not on the cave wall. I don’t know what hidden weapon Xiao Yibai took out from his body and threw it to the top of the cave. A hole one meter wide and two meters high appeared on the cave wall. Bright light shone into the cave. There was actually light. Did he get out of the cave?

Mu Xiyue couldn't wait to walk out. She was indeed out of the cave, but the space outside the cave was not big, only about three hundred square meters. The most important thing was that this was a vertical cave, or a vertical shaft. The entrance above was much smaller than the one below, and it looked particularly high.

Xiao Yibai asked with a smile, "How is it? Is this place considered a paradise? The entrance to the cave is at the highest point of Qiyu Mountain. It's only two meters square. There's no other way to get down unless you have a long enough rope, so no one would be so bored as to come down from there."
