"Yeah." Mu Ci smiled slightly, and the distance between him and Qiao Qiao should be getting closer and closer.

Thinking of this, Mu Ci's car went more and more erratic, but it was always very stable.

"You have arrived at your destination, and this navigation is over." A female voice from the on-board navigation machine sounded, indicating the arrival of the destination.

Sushuang Mountain has indeed been abandoned for a long time. Although the navigation device has prompted the destination to arrive, the two of them are still somewhat unable to touch the direction.

Mu Ci drove the car forward for a while, stopped in a shaded place, and decided to walk forward after brief discussion.

Mu Ci gave the small equipment treasure to Xu Qiaoqiao and pulled Xu Qiaoqiao forward.

Due to long-term abandonment, Mu Ci speculated that the mountain road ahead was hidden from the lush trees.

Xu Qiaoqiao was placed aside and took a break. Mu Ci stood on a slope a little further and observed the number in front, confirmed several places, and was very lucky to find the right direction for the first time.

"Qiaoqiao, walk from here." Mu Ci waved his arm and shouted to Xu Qiaoqiao in a cool place.

Xu Qiaoqiao soon arrived beside Mu Ci. The entire foot of Sushuang Mountain was filled with various plants and trees half a person tall. Mu Ci used tools or arms to help Xu Qiaoqiao drive the empty mountain road. There were also large and small pieces of gravel on the ground. Fortunately, both of them wore hiking shoes in advance, and they were not affected much.

"Wait a minute." Mu Ci's voice suddenly lowered, signaling Xu Qiaoqiao behind him not to move for now. Xu Qiaoqiao quickly stopped and stopped moving. There was only a slight sound of wind left in the mountains, but the sound of something crawling between the grass leaves always felt like the sound of something crawling by.

Sushuang Mountain is a deserted mountain that has been abandoned for decades. It can’t even be seen in person on weekdays. Moreover, there are plants and trees half a human tall at the foot of the mountain, so some dangerous animals will inevitably appear.

Mu Ci only heard the sound, but he didn't know what was crawling.

It felt like you were walking through the corridor at night, and suddenly the lights were completely gone silently. At this time, a breeze blew over the window, making people feel that the whole back was chilly.

Mu Ci looked at the surrounding environment with a guard, holding the tool shovel just opened the road in his hand. After confirming the sound of the animal crawling, he focused on the place where the sound was made.

"Meow..." Mu Ci heard the kitten cry from the front, realized what it might be, and looked at Xu Qiaoqiao behind him.

The two exchanged glances with each other, Mu Ci handed over the tools at hand to Xu Qiaoqiao and walked forward carefully.

Mu Ci pulled open the grass in front, and a big white cat crawled preciously. After noticing that Mu Ci in front was obviously surprised, he screamed sharply and ran away.

Mu Ci looked at Xu Qiaoqiao behind him, and looked at each other with a tense relaxation, and both of them suddenly relaxed.

"Drink some water, take a break and then continue walking!" Mu Ci handed the thermos cup that had already been unbuttoned and opened the lid to Xu Qiaoqiao: "I just observed it. We have only walked about one-third of the mountain road. Although the grass and trees behind are not as tall as the mountain, the slope is getting bigger and bigger, and the mountain road is indeed getting harder to walk. We have been walking for more than half an hour now. It is the time when the sun is poisonous. Just clean it up and the road behind can also be walked faster."

Xu Qiaoqiao took the water cup from Mu Ci's hand and nodded in agreement. Although she was very anxious, she roughly understood Mu Ci's meaning. After drinking the water, she ate something, and stared at the mountain road ahead and looked at it in a daze for a while.

"Mu Ci, I'll have a rest, let's continue to go." Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Mu Ci and smiled slightly, indicating that he was in good condition now.

Mu Ci nodded, reached out to Xu Qiaoqiao, and said to her, "I'll take you with you."

"No." Xu Qiaoqiao shook his head and rejected Mu Ci's proposal: "When you get ahead, you must use a compass to determine the direction. I can also walk by myself. You can concentrate on finding the direction, so that we will definitely be faster."

Mu Ci nodded, and the two of them continued to walk up the mountain in silence.

The mountain road ahead was indeed the same as Mu Ci guessed, but Mu Ci still found the way left by the people before. Although he was not very clear, with the help of the compass, there must be no problem with the direction.

The route has been a bit disrepaired for a long time, and Xu Qiaoqiao accidentally slipped under her feet: "Ah" sounded, and she was about to fall.

Fortunately, Mu Ci in front was always distracted and paid attention to Xu Qiaoqiao's movements behind him. He almost turned around and pulled Xu Qiaoqiao when he just slipped. Then he inserted the tool on the ground with his right hand, stabilizing his body, and holding Xu Qiaoqiao who was about to fall.

"Thank you." Xu Qiaoqiao pulled Mu Ci's arm and gasped.

"It's okay." Mu Ci frowned slightly and looked at Xu Qiaoqiao beside him worriedly: "Are you tired? I'll carry you up."

"No." Xu Qiaoqiao refused decisively: "I can do it. The road was broken just now, and I was gained by you again, so I almost slipped. And you see."

Xu Qiaoqiao pointed to the road ahead: "Walking up further will slowly stabilize, I can walk by myself."

Xu Qiaoqiao knew clearly the current situation and his physical condition, so it was even more impossible for Mu Ci to carry him on his back. After all, I don’t know how long it will take to go. If Mu Ci is dragged down at this time, I’m afraid the two of them will be even more difficult to walk on the road behind.

But this time I go back, I must exercise well.

Looking at his weak body, Xu Qiaoqiao thought silently in his heart.

Xu Qiaoqiao saw Mu Ci obviously not willing to do so, and knew the best way to get Mu Ci to agree to his request. She acted like a spoiled person with Mu Ci. Finally, the two reached a discussion to tie the two of them with a mountain rope before leaving.

Mu Ci pulled Xu Qiaoqiao from time to time on the road, and the two walked for more than half an hour and finally climbed to the top of the mountain.

"Look, the temple in front should be the Danyue Temple we are looking for." Xu Qiaoqiao asked, pointing to a raised piece of bulge on the flat ground in front.

"It's here." Xu Qiaoqiao gasped, his tone full of hope and happiness, as if he had accomplished something particularly important.

The two of them looked at the dilapidated temple in front of them, and their hearts were mixed.

The plaque of Danyue Temple has long been washed and disappeared in historical occasions, and there is no trace. The outside of the temple is surrounded by weeds, and the entire temple exudes a desolate and decay smell.

Mu Ci walked in the front and pushed open the temple door. This was a temple that had been around for hundreds of years. The gate made a "creak" sound, which sounded a bit terrifying.
