Oh my god! The goddess secretly gave birth to three obedient daughters for me

Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Unable to Take the Water Route
 

Actually, this seemed to pose a significant challenge for Lin Yi.

Because just looking at the size of the river, it shouldn’t be considered small.

Could it be that all of them needed to swim across this river?

He himself didn’t have a problem, but he was worried about Ling’er who wasn’t familiar with swimming at all.

“Do we have to swim across this river?”

“If we don’t swim, there is another way. If we follow the river upstream, I estimate

there should be a place on the edge where we could cross by walking along it,”

“Exactly, so if that’s the case, can’t we just detour around it like that?”

“But if you detour like that, I’m afraid it will exhaust our strength, whereas if we pass through here, perhaps the energy consumption wouldn’t be as great.”

The hunter was sincerely discussing this matter.

He also took into account everyone’s physical strength, which he feared some might not be able to keep up with.

If they continued to walk upstream, the mountain paths would become even more dangerous.

Moreover, heading into those remote corners seemed to increase their risks more and more.

“Ling’er, as far as I know, you’re not familiar with swimming, right?”

“That’s right, I’m indeed a landlubber.”

“Then that settles it. We don’t need to consider it further. Brother, as per your idea, we will go upstream along this river, and I believe we can get across from the top.”

“But the crucial issue is, after getting across, how much space will there be on the other side? And where exactly are these items hidden? Honestly, it’s getting more and more difficult to search for them.”

“There’s no use hesitating anymore. If we keep hesitating, I’m afraid all of us might die here,”

suddenly said Hei Lang from the back.

At that moment, nobody paid attention, but after hearing this, they abruptly turned to look.

They noticed that a mist had started to spread from behind them.

Although the color was still quite faint, they knew that the longer the time passed, the entire fog would envelop the cave.

By then, it would likely be a certain death for them.

“Brother, we can’t hesitate any longer. We must hurry, and moreover, we are now racing against time.”

“Okay, okay, I know. I myself have no problem. Just, never mind, let’s take it one step at a time. Hurry, pack your things quickly; we need to move upward.”

Upon this command, everyone followed the hunter’s lead and, resolutely, they began to trek upstream.

Perhaps, the hunter’s concern wasn’t unnecessary; moreover, as they moved further upward, they found the path becoming increasingly difficult.

Even with every step taken, it felt like they were stepping on a very hard surface.

Pain accompanied that feeling.

“Ling’er, are you alright?”

He was still quite worried about Ling’er, so he turned back and took her hand, asking.

“Oh, it’s nothing, I, I can keep going.”

Although Ling’er said this, one could see that beads of sweat as large as beans were already streaming down her forehead.

It was obvious that everyone was enduring significant pain.

He looked back at Hei Lang, whose complexion didn’t seem so good.

“Ah well, maybe we can think of it as a kind of foot massage therapy, isn’t reflexology just like this?”

“Stop talking nonsense. How can reflexology be like this? And didn’t you see, some of these things are angular. Stepping on them, our feet’s pressure points won’t be able to endure it for long.”

“There’s no other way, and now we need to save our lives. Look, these mists are already behind us and are continuously spreading upwards.”@@novelbin@@

In the midst of speaking, they indeed saw that it was the actual situation.

“Ling’er, how about I carry you on my back?” suggested Hei Lang suddenly, as he walked over and spoke to Ling’er.

Ling’er’s head shook vigorously like a bobblehead.

“No, absolutely not. It was okay for you guys to carry me on regular paths, but on this kind of trail, with the added weight of me, the pain on the soles of the feet would become unbearable.”

“Don’t worry, I’m a grown man; I’m sure it’s no problem.”

“No, it’s out of the question. Even if I can’t hold on myself, I can’t drag you down with me. I’m starting to regret why I chose to bring you guys in search of these things.”

As Ling’er spoke, she clenched her teeth tightly.

She truly did regret her earlier decision.

If it was all for obtaining these items, making everyone suffer this pain, she genuinely felt uneasy.

“Ling’er, you shouldn’t think like that. Ever since we entered the mountain, wasn’t it to obtain these things? If we can discover something useful on the road ahead, no matter how difficult it is, we must get our hands on it. So, don’t say anything. As long as you know the value of it, I will get it,” assured Lin Yi.

“Enough talking, we must hurry on our way,” the hunter said urgently upon seeing them chatting there.

“Don’t worry; I know what to do. Even if I have to grit my teeth, I will endure it. Let’s keep going; I can handle it.”

Lin Yi could only nod his head, though he knew that this feeling wasn’t something one could overcome simply by bearing down.

But after observing her, Lin Yi felt Ling’er was indeed extraordinary.

Most girls would have collapsed by now, yet she persevered, which was admirable.

After a while, everyone genuinely felt that if they took one more step forward, they would likely collapse from the pain right there. It was not an exaggeration at all.

Lin Yi then sat down on a comparatively flat area.

If even Lin Yi was struggling to endure, what about Ling’er?

He took off his shoes and saw that in such a short amount of time, blisters had already formed on his feet.
