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

Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Something Is Not Right
 

“Anyway, I’m fine with whatever everyone decides; if you guys want to rest, I can rest too, and if you want to keep moving, I’ll go along with that as well. Either way, I have no issues.”

Hei Lang always had this kind of attitude.

“Alright then, since that’s the consensus, let’s continue on our way. But I do feel that it’s exceedingly dark here. How about we light a torch as Ling’er suggested? Since the creatures live around here, I believe the surrounding area should be relatively safe.”

Once again he made this suggestion. Although hunters are usually cautious, he found it difficult to navigate in the pitch-black environment.

He simply nodded, and then took out one of the torches.

“Or maybe we don’t need a torch? We have lighting equipment here that could illuminate our path, isn’t that more convenient than a torch?”@@novelbin@@

“That won’t do. In this environment, it’s not about what’s convenient. This torch has been specially treated, and small prey won’t dare to come near it. Besides, even if there are larger creatures around, they are unlikely to approach us because of the torch. That’s why sometimes, things that are too new might not be usable here.”

The hunter quickly refuted Hei Lang’s suggestion.

Eventually, the torch was lit, and its faint glow truly illuminated the surroundings.

Lin Yi glanced around, and although he couldn’t see clearly into the distance, at least he could see that he was indeed at a crossroads.

Everything around him was desolate; nothing else was detected.

“Ha, in my opinion, this light hardly makes any difference compared to the darkness.”

“What do you mean?”

“Without light, perhaps there’s still a glimmer of hope in one’s heart, perhaps something to see. But now, after lighting up the area, take a look at our surroundings.”

“No matter, the more difficult the road, the more likely we are to find an exit.”

“Bro, do you have a plan?”

“There was a time before when I was in the deep mountains, I encountered a situation where it was pitch black inside a cave, but still, I managed to find my way out. You have to believe we can do this.”

“But now that I think about it, something still seems a bit off.”

“Off? What’s off?”

“Think about it, if there’s an exit, why would those creatures go through the water and then back out through that same hole? Couldn’t they take a shortcut?”

“A shortcut?”

Upon hearing this, the hunter slightly furrowed his brow; it seemed that he had not truly considered this point before.

“Yeah, these creatures have been living here for more than a year or two, definitely. They must know the area better than we do. If that’s the case, then there must be an entrance or exit here, and they would undoubtedly know it better than any of us.”

“So what you’re suggesting is that this place is absolutely enclosed, absolutely safe, and that’s why they chose to build their nest here? When they need to go out to hunt, they simply swim through the water and then enter that cave.”

“Exactly, strictly speaking, this is like a cave within a cave, so if I had to guess, this must be an entirely enclosed cavern.”

“If that’s the case, then we’re indeed in trouble.”

As he spoke, he paused and frowned.

“Yes, this is indeed troublesome.”

“If we can’t make it through the front, are we expected to turn back? Apart from wasting time and energy, the key issue is that even if we turn back now, we might not be able to make it out.”

After all, the hunter had already said that even if the mist dissipates completely, it would take at least three days. Could they really afford to wait here for three days?

“Oh man, as far as I’m concerned, there’s a solution to everything. If it comes down to it, we’ll just climb up from there.”

Hei Lang seemed impatient, and so he turned around and pointed in the direction they had come from.

“You mean, we all climb up through that hole where the sunlight comes in?”

“Exactly, what else can we do? Moreover, from what I’ve seen, the height isn’t a problem if I use my grappling gun, and it should work. We can give it a try.”

“You know, if you put it that way, that actually sounds like a good plan. Bro, what do you think?”

“If it were the old days, I’d have given up on this, but now that you guys have such sophisticated equipment, I think it’s worth a try. Moreover, that spot would allow us to bypass their nest without disturbing them.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry and see if we can figure out a way.”

As he spoke, Hei Lang seemed unable to wait any longer and quickly turned around, hurrying back in that direction once more.

Finally, after arriving there, Lin Yi nervously glanced to the left and noticed that those creatures were not present. Perhaps they had gone back to their nest to check on their younglings.

If that was the case, his situation might be a bit safer.

“Hei Lang, what do you think of this situation?”

He looked up continuously as if he was estimating the distance or looking for a breakthrough point from his position.

“I’ve taken a rough look, and it seems that the height should not be an issue. The rope is about 100 meters long, so we should definitely be able to manage that.”

“But the key is, is there a place up there sturdy enough to anchor to?”

“Big brother, take a good look at this hole. It’s just big enough for one person to pass through. If we find something long enough to brace against the sides of the entrance, we can definitely make it work.”
