One minute passed, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed...

The tremor of the earth shaking here gradually weakened.

The gravel and dust stopped falling, and Qin Li came out of Mo Ling's arms.

She cleared her throat and wanted to ask him if he was okay.

But after struggling for a long time, he finally didn't speak.

Mo Ling dusted off the gravel particles on his body and shook his head to shake off all the dust and powder.

Then, he looked at Qin Li very carefully from head to toe. After confirming again and again that she was not injured, he turned to look at the group of bodyguards: "Isn't he back yet?"

"Go back to Mr. Mo, A Liang is not back."

Mo Ling frowned.

Because this treasure hunt was very dangerous, he specially transferred the best of the best from the headquarters.

These ten people were all trained by Mo San himself.

Anyway, Wan Daqian is face-blind, and if there were a different group of people, he wouldn't be able to spot it...

Now, after such a long time, there is still no movement from his side. There are only two possibilities -

Either he's dead or he's trapped.

But no matter which possibility it is, it indicates that the crisis ahead is far more severe than the current one.

"Grandpa Liao, can you still hold on?"

Qin Li came to Liao Bo's side with a worried look on his face.

"Li'er, don't worry, Grandpa Liao can still hold on. It's just that it's hard for you..."

"Grandpa Liao, please don't say that. Whether we can obtain the medicinal materials safely and get out of the mountain smoothly depends on you..."

Qin Li knew that Liao Bo's physical strength and energy were his Achilles' heel.

But without his guidance, they might wander around in circles in this mountain, and they might not be able to reach the core area for ten days and ten nights...

When they really run out of ammunition and food, no matter how good their physical strength and energy are, it will be of no use as they still have to starve to death or die of thirst...

Mo Ling nodded in approval, then looked around at the bodyguards.

Those people seemed to have received silent orders and nodded mechanically.

"Pack up and leave immediately."

If you delay for a second longer in this unpredictable place, the danger around you will increase.

Therefore, they must fight quickly!

Qin Li was about to walk forward when suddenly, her hand was wrapped by a wide palm.

She raised her eyes and met Mo Ling's deep gaze.

"don’t worry."

Three simple words, but they made her heart beat faster inexplicably.

Qin Li took deep breaths several times before he could barely suppress the throbbing in his heart...

They walked for a while.

Suddenly, a stone wall blocked their way.

"what happened?"

Seeing the stagnation, Mo Ling asked.

"Go back to Mr. Mo, there's no way ahead." The bodyguard in front of him replied.

"Mo Ling, I want to go up and have a look."

The passage they were walking through was very narrow, and could only allow two people to pass through.

So more than ten of them were lined up in several lines.

Liao Bo should lead the way and be in the front position.

And she and Mo Ling were in the middle and behind.

"Okay." Mo Ling agreed and then said, "Two people are coming down."

Soon, their positions were changed.

Qin Li and Mo Ling also saw the stone wall.

Is there really no way out?

Qin Li suddenly felt that the situation in front of him seemed familiar. If she remembered correctly...

"Tell them to stand back."

There was a hint of determination in the cold voice.

"Back off."

Mo Ling didn't ask the reason, trusting her 100% and directly ordered the bodyguards to retreat.

At the same time, Liao Bo and the bodyguard beside him also took a back seat and stood behind them.

Qin Li held up his flashlight and pointed it at the thick wall, starting from the top and slowly shining all the way down.

She observed the wall carefully, not missing any detail.

Suddenly, the light illuminated a slightly raised patch.

Qin Li's eyes lit up and he focused his flashlight directly on the raised stone.

"There's a problem there."

Although it was a question, Mo Ling used a positive tone.

"Ah."

If nothing else, the small raised stone is the breakthrough point.

only……

Qin Li frowned and visually measured the height of the small stone.

Almost twice her height!

Her jumping ability is not good, she can't go up to this height!

"Let me try."

Mo Ling volunteered.

Qin Li hesitated.

This is not over there after all...

If she guessed wrong or accidentally contacted the agency, wouldn't she have harmed this large group of people?

"Xiao Li'er, you have to believe in yourself."

Feeling the cold sweat on Qin Li's palms, Mo Ling spoke again to encourage her.

Of course she believed in herself.

If she were alone today, she would definitely try that mechanism without hesitation!

But now she is not alone, and she cannot let these innocent people pay for her careless mistakes!

Especially Grandpa Liao, he is still waiting to go back and share the family happiness with Xiaomi...

Just when Qin Li was in deep and painful contemplation, Mo Ling beside him had already taken action.

He jumped up on the spot, jumping very high, with his two long legs directly touching the rock walls on both sides.

After stabilizing his body, Mo Ling looked at the rock wall from left to right. After confirming that it was rough and strong enough, he used both hands and feet to explore upward bit by bit.

When Qin Li came back to his senses, he found that Mo Ling had already climbed the ladder.

She quickly helped him with lighting.

Not long after, he was less than a palm away from the raised stone.

Mo Ling's eyes deepened, and his feet slowly moved up a small step.

His hand is still a little bit close to reaching it...

Qin Li's anxious heart almost reached his throat.

"Snapped!"

Not giving Qin Li any chance to regret, Mo Ling directly slapped the raised stone with his palm.

"Boom--"

The mechanism was triggered, and the stone wall in front of them began to tremble, and then slowly fell down like a curtain.

Did she guess it right? !

Qin Li was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.

This mechanism is exactly the same as the mechanism in the unknown mountain she encountered a year ago!

"What are you thinking about?"

At some point, Mo Ling landed safely.

He gently put his hand on her shoulder, bringing back her thoughts...

"fine."

Qin Li felt that it was a long story, and the last thing they should not waste at the moment was time.

But Mo Ling misunderstood that Qin Li didn't want to tell him because he didn't trust him...

A look of hurt quickly flashed across his eyes, and then quietly faded away.

"Let's go."

Mo Ling took Qin Li's hand.

Qin Li suddenly felt that something was wrong with this touch!

Why... sticky and wet?

She sensitively grabbed Mo Ling's wrist, raised it, and illuminated it with a flashlight.

Is he an idiot?

Looking at Mo Ling's scratched fingertips, Qin Li's heart clenched and hurt for no reason.

Can't you wear gloves if you know you're going to climb up there?

There should be a pair in his backpack.

"Why don't you wear gloves?"

"Do you care about me?"

Although Qin Li looked cold, Mo Ling felt that she was very warm.

Warmer than the sun!
