53: I wanted be a salted fish
But this calm and composed attitude, along with that steady tone, conveyed a deep sense of confidence in the young man’s words!
Song Yu glanced at Bai Yuhan's handsome profile, "..."
Her eyelids twitched subconsciously, and her feelings were very complicated.
Song Yu withdrew her gaze and couldn't help but marvel at Bai Yuhan in her heart. As expected, he truly lived up to being the protagonist of a novel.
Although his parents died and left him a substantial Qin family inheritance, he couldn't access it until he became a Beastmaster.
For an ordinary teenager whose parents died, just working to pay tuition fees would occupy all his spare time.
But Bai Yuhan not only worked daily for a living but also squeezed out a lot of time each day to train in physical fitness and combat, consistently ranking among the top in exams every year, being very self-disciplined.
Even though Song Yu started as a child star in her previous life, with her manager hiring a bunch of tutors to help her with private lessons daily, boosting her grades,
She still couldn't completely balance studying and filming. If it weren't for the lower academic requirements of the arts college entrance exam, purely judging by academic grades,
Forget about ranking in the top few of the whole grade, she might not have even been able to get into an undergraduate program.
Not to mention that the high school and the number of high school students on two different planets were not on the same level at all.
Thinking about this…
Song Yu silently shed tears as a poor student.
She wiped her face hard.
Fortunately, in her past life, after struggling in the entertainment industry for over twenty years, she developed a thick skin.
She was already a slacker, so why still obsess over high school exam scores?
Of course, such a thing couldn't be shown openly.
At least in front of the male lead, she still needed some dignity.
So.
Song Yu lifted her face, pretending to be heavy-hearted and sorrowful, "I used to do well in exams, but that was before. Didn't I have a continuous high fever some time ago, which damaged my brain? The high fever caused a sharp decline in my memory, and I scored only 27 on the school's cultural test last week. The thick Beast Encyclopedia is naturally hard to remember."
Bai Yuhan: "..."
Despite saying that, Bai Yuhan felt something was off but couldn't pinpoint what.
But her expression was so sincere, it didn't seem like she was lying at all.
"Besides, my grades were never as good as you said. With sixty or seventy classes in the whole school, I struggled to get into the top one hundred of the whole grade." Having not performed for a long time, Song Yu suddenly felt a surge of improvisational desire that was unstoppable.
Song Yu blurted out and added a scene for herself: "You don't know, ever since that high fever, I get a headache every time I read. I can't memorize a page in a whole day."
Song Yu raised her hand to cover her heart, with a face full of sorrow, "You don't know how I've been enduring these days at school, how much inner torment I've suffered!" So you see how tormented I am, please don't bring up such heart-wrenching topics anymore!
Bai Yuhan: "..."
Bai Yuhan looked at Song Yu with a slight frown. After a moment of contemplation, he said seriously, "For post-fever sequelae, when we get back, you can let the healing contract beast check you again. Since your cultural subject scores are poor and you can't remember the book knowledge, you can study with me for now."
"...?!" Song Yu's eyes widened, doubting her ears.
"Join me for morning physical training and in the evening recitate the Beast Encyclopedia and other cultural books." Bai Yuhan earnestly instructed, "Even if your memory is poor, by spending more time on these books every day, you'll naturally improve after a while."
Although Bai Yuhan still felt something was off, he couldn't pinpoint it... and her expression didn't seem fake.
Anyway, since they had to stay in this snowfield secret realm for at least seven or eight days, or even longer,
As classmates, if she wanted to study, it was only right to supervise her.
He used to often supervise Han Zhou's studies at school, with fairly good results.
Song Yu stammered, "But, but there's no Beast Encyclopedia here."
Bai Yuhan confidently replied, "No need for the Beast Encyclopedia, I can write it from memory anytime."
Song Yu: "..."
...Help, help! She seemed to have overacted!
She completely forgot she had a super acting skill bonus, she just wanted to casually perform and joke around!
Bai Yuhan glanced at Song Yu again, feeling his words might have been too stiff, he thought for a moment and encouraged, "I used to tutor people and encountered many students with poor memory. But we can use methods like outlining, listing, questioning, and extending during learning."
Bai Yuhan: "There are 19 memory methods, one of them will suit you."
Song Yu was dumbfounded, almost turning pale, "..."
The young man looked at Song Yu sincerely, "We'll start studying tonight."
Song Yu's muscles stiffened, bracing herself, "…Alright."
What a sin! If she had known, she wouldn't have talked nonsense!
Deceiving an enthusiastic 18-year-old, she felt a bit guilty!
No, she didn't intend to deceive, she was just babbling nonsense!
*****
The snowfield after a heavy snowstorm was very quiet.
Sunlight fell from the sky, and looking around, it was all white, the crystal-clear snowflakes piled up on the treetops, pure and elegant. Adding a touch of pure white to the world.
If it weren't for the cold weather and the many fierce beasts in the snowfield secret realm,
Song Yu thought the snow scene here was truly beautiful.
The heavy snow completely covered all the footprints on the ground, with snow up to one or two meters thick.
Fortunately, Qiuqiu was tall enough, even when stepping in snow taller than a person, it wouldn't be buried.
Only Bai Yuhan's contract beast, the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus, although it evolved to the second stage and greatly increased in strength, as a short-legged lizard, even with dragon bloodline, its current size was only about three meters.
When it stepped into the snow, its head was almost completely buried!
In this situation, Bai Yuhan could only retract Xiao Hei into the Beastmaster space, staying on Qiuqiu's back with Song Yu.
Fortunately, once it happened, it would happen again.
Although Qiuqiu sneezed, unhappy with a stranger on its back, it knew this person was its contract owner's friend.
The two of them sat on Qiuqiu's back, carefully observing the surroundings, their bodies rising and falling with the Snow Civet Cat's movements.
Due to the thick snow, even Qiuqiu's running speed slowed down significantly.
This speed was just right for them to observe the surroundings.
"Seems like the snow is too heavy. Beasts with lower bloodline levels would be buried in the snow and unable to move, so they hide..." Song Yu looked around at the snowy surroundings, trying not to miss any changes.
Because of the thick snow, Qiuqiu's speed was greatly reduced.
This speed was just right for her and Bai Yuhan to observe the surroundings.
"Not necessarily all hiding... some might have been frozen to death." Bai Yuhan looked at Song Yu and explained, "Although the snowfield secret realm is mostly covered in ice and snow, it also has spring, summer, autumn, and winter."
"Every secret realm is a complete ecosystem, with thousands of species."
"So, like in Blue Star's Arctic, in such harsh snowy weather, many animals can't survive and are frozen to death."
"Of course..." Bai Yuhan glanced at the quiet snowfield, "It's also possible that we are currently in the territory of high-level beasts. That's why low-level beasts can't come out, and high-level beasts don't dare to come near, making this place seem so quiet."
Song Yu: "!!"
Suddenly, her recently relaxed mood became tense again!
But in any case, since this snowfield now appears very quiet, it’s just the right time for them to find the entrance to the secret realm before other beasts start moving!
*****
Half an hour, then another half an hour.
Qiuqiu ran through the snowfield forest, and Song Yu gradually noticed more animal activity in the forest.
First, there were shallow footprints on the snow, then chirping birds on the branches.
Occasionally, there were bird-like beasts observing the two-legged creatures and the big cat that had suddenly appeared. Some bold ones even hopped around in the forest, following alongside Qiuqiu and watching them for quite a while.
Bai Yuhan glanced at these bird-like beasts, showing little reaction.
These were all 0-level beasts with no combat power. Even ordinary people like them, without any special abilities, could easily catch them.
However, as time passed, the beasts in the forest became more formidable.
"1st-level mid-tier Snow-Tailed Rabbit, 2nd-level high-tier Unihorn Snowfield Fox..."
Using the Eye of Rules, Bai Yuhan carefully examined each beast that appeared within his sight.
By comparing the observed combat values and other data, Bai Yuhan analyzed and compared them with the Snow Civet Cat and Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus, trying to avoid any danger.
If they couldn't win, they would run away. This was the plan Bai Yuhan and Song Yu had agreed upon after discussing it.
Fortunately, along the way, just as Bai Yuhan had previously analyzed, apart from encountering a 4th-level low-tier herbivorous wood-type Tundra Snow Cattle Beast searching for food in the snow, they didn't face any danger despite running continuously for over two hours.
There was even a 3rd-level high-tier Tusk Wild Boar that seemed interested in Qiuqiu, standing from a distance, wanting to attack.
However, the speed of boar-like beasts was vastly different from that of cat-like beasts.
Even compared to bear-like beasts, its speed was far inferior, and it was two to three times slower than Qiuqiu, so it never found an opportunity. Eventually, the Tusk Wild Boar could only run for a while before giving up on fighting Qiuqiu.
Unlike the endurance of bear-like beasts, cat-like beasts had strong bursts of speed but poor stamina.
Qiuqiu, carrying both Song Yu and Bai Yuhan, ran for such a long time, consuming a lot of energy.
To prevent being caught off guard in case of sudden danger and to conserve energy, the two of them and the beast found a relatively open area to rest.
Song Yu took out energy-compressed food from her backpack to replenish Qiuqiu's strength.
"I'll go hunting while you rest here," Bai Yuhan stood up, looking towards a nearby area.
He had noticed several 1st-level Snow-Tailed Rabbits along the way.
These Snow-Tailed Rabbits had very tender and juicy meat, and their thick fur was extremely warm. He planned to catch a couple to serve as food and perhaps make a robe.
Song Yu nodded in response, "Be careful."
Replenishing food and finding the entrance to the secret realm were the main reasons they had left the cave.
But for Bai Yuhan, finding a suitable place in the secret realm for contract beasts to train would be even better.
At present, he planned to test Xiao Hei's combat power after its advancement.
The snow on the hillside was less than on the ground. Several Snow-Tailed Rabbits were looking for roots and stems buried in the snow. Each one was about half a person's height, occasionally twitching their ears, wary of their surroundings.
As low-level rabbit-type beasts at the lower end of the food chain in the secret realm, they had their own danger-sensing mechanism.
However, when Bai Yuhan approached them, the Snow-Tailed Rabbits just twitched their ears and glanced at him before continuing to search for food, not considering him a threat.
Unlike humans, even the lowest 0-level beasts could sense the faint energy fluctuations from other beasts.
Especially herbivorous beasts like Snow-Tailed Rabbits, their danger-sensing systems were highly evolved.
So...
With no energy fluctuations and looking no different from roadside weeds, Bai Yuhan posed no danger to the Snow-Tailed Rabbits, who thought they could easily kick him away.
"Achoo~!"
One Snow-Tailed Rabbit sneezed disdainfully while chewing on the roots and stems it had dug up, its fluffy long tail twitching.
"Sigh."
Song Yu shook her head, sighing at the unaware secret realm Snow Rabbits.
Sure enough!
The next moment!
When Bai Yuhan was about three to five meters away from the Snow-Tailed Rabbits.
He suddenly released the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus hidden in the Beastmaster space!
"Roar!——"
Having undergone the baptism of two Dragon Saliva Herbs, with its roar becoming more dragon-like and its teeth growing into dragon fangs, the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus, like a black flash, charged towards the Snow-Tailed Rabbits!
The Snow-Tailed Rabbits were already lower in level compared to the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus, with a huge gap in combat power.
Moreover, the dragon bloodline in the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus greatly enhanced its natural deterrence over ordinary beasts.
In an instant!
The black Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus, like a reaper wielding a scythe, pounced, biting the neck of one Snow-Tailed Rabbit, tearing it apart with blood splattering!
"!!!!"
The surrounding Snow-Tailed Rabbits, which were still searching for food in the snow, panicked like cats with their tails stepped on, fleeing wildly!
Two Snow-Tailed Rabbits, scared out of their wits, even collided with each other while running away!
The Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus didn't care about the Snow-Tailed Rabbits' panic.
It charged ahead, its three-meter-tall body like a speeding small truck.
While sprinting, it used its skill!
"Whoosh!——"
A black halo with an ominous aura burst from the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus, striking one of the fleeing Snow-Tailed Rabbits!
A 2nd-level dragon-type skill, Ominous Halo!
Awakened after the Dragon Saliva Herb accelerated the dragon bloodline, the first dragon skill!
Without any warning, the black halo, with the unique deterrence of dragons, though small, struck a running Snow-Tailed Rabbit hard!
Hit by the skill, the Snow-Tailed Rabbit's white fur turned pitch black, as if cursed, and the large rabbit started convulsing violently!
"Rip!——"
However, in that moment of pause, the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus pounced from behind, its sharp teeth piercing the Snow-Tailed Rabbit's skull.
Crack!
The sound of bones breaking came from the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus' teeth.
The Snow-Tailed Rabbit was killed instantly, dying silently!
The Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus, dropping the Snow-Tailed Rabbit, charged towards another fleeing target!
Song Yu, standing on the hillside, watched with her heart pounding.
Even though she had daily Beastmaster combat classes at school, in the wilderness, it was her first time witnessing such a bloody hunting scene.
"Truly worthy of the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus with black dragon bloodline..."
Seeing the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus below the hillside quickly taking down four Snow-Tailed Rabbits in minutes, Song Yu couldn't help but marvel at the power of the bloodline. Especially after awakening the dragon bloodline, the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus had grown in might over three months, using its subtle dragon might to intimidate other low-level beasts, making the Snow-Tailed Rabbits too scared to fight back.
Otherwise, given the number of Snow-Tailed Rabbits in this snowy environment, if they were to swarm and attack together, the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus might not be able to deal with them within just a few minutes.
To put it bluntly…
This Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus has only evolved from its juvenile stage to the second tier in three months.
In such a short time, even with Bai Yuhan's high-level Beastmaster space, skills that require long-term practice are still not very proficient.
Overall, this battle wasn't very smooth.
Even Song Yu, who has been idling at home these days, could tell the combat was awkward.
"If it were another experienced second-tier Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus, just using its over three-meter-tall body, a single charge forward would have knocked over these Snow-Tailed Rabbits, which are only half a person's height…”
"At the same time, using its claws, teeth, and iron tail to attack simultaneously, it could have killed at least three Snow-Tailed Rabbits in one go."
Having watched many videos and battle movies of contract beasts at home, Song Yu has gained a deeper, more intuitive understanding of various beasts' combat techniques.
The battle quickly ended. After killing four Snow-Tailed Rabbits, Bai Yuhan commanded the Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus to drag the prey back, and he also followed, dragging a rabbit in each hand up the hill.
The three-meter-tall Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus had no difficulty dragging two Snow-Tailed Rabbits. The only issue was that its low center of gravity made it awkward to carry the rabbits, causing its tail to slam the ground in frustration, scattering snow everywhere.
Without helping, Qiuqiu elegantly flicked its tail.
*****
After handling the prey simply, they skinned the four rabbits and carefully stored the pelts.
Bai Yuhan cut off a large piece from one of the rabbit legs, preparing to roast it.
Bai Yuhan patted Xiao Hei's head, "I can't make anything good for you here today. Once we leave this snowfield secret realm in a couple of days, I'll roast a few rabbits for you."
As contract beasts, they mostly eat cooked food when with their contract holders. However, in extreme situations in the wild, they would revert to primitive living conditions like ordinary wild beasts.
"~~" The Iron Armored Tyrannosaurus nuzzled its contract holder, flicked its tail, and then started eating the rabbit meat.
The daylight in the snowfield wasn't long. Song Yu also couldn't prepare cooked food for Qiuqiu, so after discussing with the big cat, Qiuqiu flicked its tail and began eating to replenish energy.
Half an hour later...
Orange flames crackled in the fire.
Song Yu piled up the collected wood nearby, while Bai Yuhan skillfully built a fire and skewered the rabbit leg meat on a sharpened stick, placing it high above the fire. As the temperature rose, the rabbit leg meat began to sizzle and release oil!
The aroma of the rabbit leg meat gradually spread, making Song Yu instinctively twitch her nose and salivate.
However...
Just as the rabbit leg meat was almost done cooking...
The ground suddenly shook violently!
It felt like hundreds of mad beasts were frantically running, causing the snow on the hillside to fall.
“What’s happening?! What’s going on?!”
Song Yu, sitting on a rock slab, was startled. She quickly stood up, alertly looking around.
Xiao Hei and Qiuqiu also stopped eating, dropping their rabbit meat.
Bai Yuhan pulled out binoculars and immediately checked the commotion ahead.
“Rumble, rumble, rumble!——”
“Growl, growl, growl!——”
Not far ahead, five humans were fleeing rapidly across the snow, each riding their contract beast with pale faces.
Behind them, dozens of black wild boars with sharp tusks and muscular bodies, their eyes red, were chasing and roaring like mad.
Their crazed demeanor suggested they wanted to tear the humans apart the next second!
"It's a group of second and third-tier Tusk Wild Boars chasing a team of Beastmasters!"
"They're coming our way."
Bai Yuhan put down the binoculars, looking grim, "We need to leave now."
There were too many Tusk Wild Boars, and their red eyes indicated they were in a berserk state.
Such a large group of wild boars could scare off even fourth-tier bear-type beasts, let alone their second and third-tier contract beasts.
The most crucial concern was that the boar herd's rampage could trigger an avalanche, given the surrounding snow-covered peaks.
"Let's go!"
Regretting not getting to eat the rabbit meat, Song Yu sighed, shouldered her pack, and jumped onto Qiuqiu's back with Bai Yuhan.
The completely white Snow Civet Cat, resembling an agile snow elf, sped through the forest paths.
It moved like the most nimble leopard in the forest, avoiding trees and the charging Tusk Wild Boars with precise agility.
However...
The Beastmaster team following behind Song Yu and Bai Yuhan wasn't slow either.
Their contract beasts included felines, canines, and some wolf-types—all fast and agile species.
“Damn! Why are these Tusk Wild Boars faster than the ones I encountered in the Qingshan Wilderness? My black panther should outrun them!” A Beastmaster riding a second-tier contract beast, Dark Shadow Black Panther, felt the ground shaking from the boars’ pursuit and looked grim.
Another middle-aged man on a third-tier Flame Hound also had a gloomy expression. In his special belt pouch were several tusk wild boar piglets, struggling and responding to the adult boars’ frenzied calls, unable to break free.
“Damn it! I just caught a few piglets, and they’re chasing us like this? I was doing them a favor, bringing them back to the base to live well. Ungrateful!” The middle-aged man spat in frustration at the pursuing boars, gritting his teeth.
If there weren’t so many Tusk Wild Boars chasing, he would’ve jumped off and fought them with his contract beast!
“Boss Qin, should we return these Tusk Wild Boar piglets?”
Feeling the terror from the boar herd’s roars, someone suggested to the middle-aged man, worried they’d be trampled into mince, “These third-tier low-bloodline Tusk Wild Boar piglets aren’t worth much. We shouldn’t risk our lives for them.”
Third-tier low-bloodline Tusk Wild Boar piglets average around a hundred thousand each. With official subsidies, high school students might buy them for just tens of thousands.
They’re worth less than second-grade spirit plants.
Four days ago, their team was hunting in the Qingshan Wilderness.
Most of them were second-tier Beastmasters, with only two first-tier members.
Such a setup usually ensured safety in the Qingshan Wilderness.
Their leader, Boss Qin, even had two third-tier primary battle pets. With another third-tier pet, he’d be a third-tier intermediate Beastmaster!
However...
They were unexpectedly swept into a new secret realm while hunting in the Qingshan Wilderness!
Logically speaking, encountering a newly formed secret realm should make a team of Beastmasters, who often roam the wilderness and secret realms in search of rare treasures and spirit minerals, extremely happy.
For thousands of years, newly formed secret realms that have never been explored by humans are usually brimming with treasures and spirit minerals!
Therefore, whenever a new secret realm appears, numerous teams of Beastmasters rush in eagerly.
But the problem was, when their team fell into the new secret realm, they immediately encountered a hungry, fifth-tier Blizzard Bear hunting in the snowy weather!
The two first-tier Beastmasters were instantly crushed into meat patties by the Blizzard Bear!
With the Beastmasters dead, their beast spaces collapsed. The contracted beasts of these two Beastmasters experienced significant power drops, and without even having the chance to fight the Blizzard Bear, they were severely injured, with some escaping and others dying.
Only the five of them managed to escape the claws of the Blizzard Bear!
After that...
They trudged through the blizzard, struggling to find food.
They finally found a lone third-tier Tusk Wild Boar with its piglets. After a successful hunt, they were unlucky enough to encounter a returning herd of Tusk Wild Boars.
With their companions dead and the piglets captured, the Tusk Wild Boars' eyes turned red, and they entered a berserk state.
Their speed increased significantly, relentlessly pursuing the group with vengeful fury!
"Damn it!" The one called Boss Qin gritted his teeth, his face contorted, as he threw a specially-made pouch containing the three Tusk Wild Boar piglets towards the pursuing herd, hoping to distract them and stop their madness.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The three Tusk Wild Boar piglets inside the pouch were thrown like snowballs, rolling and crashing into the frenzied herd!
"Snort! Snort! Snort!——"
Dozens of red-eyed Tusk Wild Boars stopped to look at the piglets in the snow, but some continued their relentless pursuit!
Rumble! Rumble!——!
Boom! Boom!——!
The gigantic Tusk Wild Boars, each the size of a small hill, stomped with their massive hooves, smashing the ground with the force of steel hammers!
Snow splattered! The ground trembled!
On the snow-covered mountain, a thick layer of snow loosened, shifting under the impact.
"Swoosh~~"
A small pile of snow suddenly slid down from the mountain!
"Swoosh, swoosh~~"
More snow began to slide from the mountaintop!
"Thump, thump, thump~~~~"
Larger snow masses rolled down, gathering speed and size!
"Crack, crack..."
Countless mountain snows, under an irresistible gravitational pull, began to slide down instantly.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble~~~"
Huge masses of snow collapsed, whipping up howling winds and sending white snow clouds exploding into the air!
A sudden avalanche rolled down the mountain, continuously crashing down!
"Boom!——"
A gigantic snowball tumbled down the slope, creating a large depression in the snow!
"Boom, boom, boom!——"
Countless tall pines at the foot of the mountain were snapped by the onrushing avalanche, crushed by the overwhelming snow!
The avalanche, rolling down with unstoppable force, buried everything in its path, accompanied by the screams of beasts and the continuous impacts caused by the avalanche.
Ground, rocks, pines, beasts, humans...
Various grating sounds mixed together!
The overwhelming avalanche seemed to cover everything in sight completely!
Sitting on Qiuqiu, running ahead, Song Yu heard the thunderous roar from the mountain behind and turned pale!
Feeling the approaching tremors, Song Yu had a foreboding that sent cold sweat down her back.
"Quick! Quick! Get out of here!" Song Yu shouted loudly.
"Go! Run that way!" Bai Yuhan commanded sternly.
Song Yu clung tightly to Qiuqiu's neck, letting the howling cold wind mixed with snowflakes slash her face like a knife.
Bai Yuhan, carrying the rabbit pelts, also tightly grabbed the snow civet cat's fur to avoid being thrown off during its frantic running and jumping.
Qiuqiu fled forward at high speed, not stopping even when various branches whipped against its body!
Facing such a natural disaster, even powerful sixth or seventh-tier beasts might perish!
The avalanche's speed was far beyond that of third-tier beasts.
The speed brought enormous impact force, and soon the landslide force caught up with the snow civet cat.
In the heavy snow, both Song Yu and Bai Yuhan had cold sweat on their foreheads!
Their nerves were taut like bowstrings!
It seemed the next second, the bowstrings would snap under the avalanche's pressure!
"Damn it!"
Even Bai Yuhan, usually calm, was overwhelmed by the oncoming avalanche.
However...
He frowned deeply, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
He didn't want to give up even a glimmer of hope.
Unfortunately, the Eye of Rules could only help him detect beast information, not find a way out.
In his vision, he saw countless beasts that had previously hidden in the forest now fleeing with them.
However.
Sometimes, when it rains, it pours. As they fled, they reached a cliff cave.
The dark cave, with its jagged rocks, looked like a giant mouth ready to swallow them whole.
Song Yu's mindset began to crumble, and she gave Bai Yuhan a resentful look.
Since falling into the snowy secret realm from the Qingshan Wilderness, encountering an avalanche, and meeting the protagonist, nothing had gone well.
Sure enough, her earlier analysis was correct: Bai Yuhan was like the death-prone kid in that cartoon, bringing trouble wherever he went.
For a laid-back person, this was too much excitement.
Song Yu looked at the approaching avalanche and then at the dark cave ahead.
She wiped her face, giving up: "Let's jump?"
Since Bai Yuhan was the protagonist, they wouldn't die jumping.
Maybe there was even a ring spirit grandpa waiting for him below.
Song Yu quickly convinced herself, grabbing Bai Yuhan's arm tightly.
Song Yu solemnly said, "After we jump, you have to hold on to me and not let go!"
Though Bai Yuhan brought trouble, anyone associated with him typically survived, albeit with injuries.
"...After we jump, don't curse me in your heart. Think about how we'll get out of the secret realm and wish me good luck with barbecues when we do." Song Yu's tone was heavy, like a soldier going to war.
With so many delicious things waiting in Jianghuai City, she couldn't die here.
"...Okay." Bai Yuhan stared at Song Yu, feeling inexplicably guilty.
The tense escape from the avalanche felt oddly complicated now.
The tone of the escape seemed to shift strangely.
"Swish!——"
Seeing the rolling avalanche almost upon them, Song Yu, not daring to delay, pulled Bai Yuhan's arm and jumped into the cave!
They fell rapidly, the wind howling, the cave's unique dampness surrounding them.
