The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

On the other side, after explaining things to his own son, Xu Yiyu walked down the stairs given by Xu Cheng and restarted the four-person exploration operation.

The momentum of this sudden storm slowed down a little, and the raindrops falling on the four people decreased, but the mountain wind became stronger, and the force of the raindrops hitting their bodies was heavier than before.

Since Xu Yiyu had chosen to explore the way out, he had made all the mental preparations and did not complain at all. He just observed the surrounding terrain in the extremely poor visibility while paying attention to the physical conditions of the other three people besides himself.

Even though her current physique is already top-notch among the entire human population on Blue Star, human power is ultimately limited. When faced with the unpredictable nature, she, Xu, is still in awe.

While Rong Yan was exploring the way, the eyes behind his glasses had been comparing the terrain and environmental conditions he saw along the way with the conditions in the Domiti Mountains that he had learned in advance. He wrote down every difference from the theoretical knowledge he had learned, and planned to explain it in detail to everyone when he joined the main force.

As a veteran explorer who had fought in various dangerous areas of the blue planet and experienced countless life and death tests, Qi He knew very well that in such an environment, every detail could become the key to survival.

Therefore, since entering the mountains, he has been maintaining a high level of vigilance, constantly observing the surrounding environment, looking for all conditions that are favorable to their survival.

Sometimes he looked up at the sky to judge the weather changes; sometimes he looked down at the ground to look for signs of water and food.

His eyes were sharp and keen, not missing any corner that might hide life. At the same time, he would occasionally glance at the road under the feet of the four people, carefully observing whether there were any signs of anyone walking.

These signs may mean there are other survivors or potential danger nearby.

Xu Cheng's situation is similar to Xu Yiyu's. Since entering the Domiti Mountains, the frequency of communication between her and her system has decreased significantly.

In addition, there were not many items in her system exchange mall that could help them with their current situation, so she focused more on Xu Yiyu who was walking in front.

Her cousin sister really didn't care about her own safety. Although this was due to her confidence in her own strength, she still had to care more about Xu Yiyu.

After walking forward for more than ten minutes, the scenery seen by the four of them kept changing - from time to time they would pass through dense woods, or see clear wild ponds, as well as steep and difficult mountain roads covered with sharp rocks.

These scenes are not much different from those shown on the navigation map.

After the four people came across a cave, they all stopped at the same time.

"Ms. Xu, Mr. Xu, you also heard it just now, right?"

"Yes, I heard it. You heard it too, right?"

"Yes, if I heard correctly, the sound should come from this cave."

The four people exchanged glances and then turned their gazes into the depths of the dark and bottomless cave.

Caves are not uncommon in mountainous areas, but theoretically, taking shelter or rest in a cave at this time is not something that experienced hikers would do.

The four of them appeared here to explore the way, but the person who made the sound in the cave... is not certain.

The person who spoke seemed to have calculated that other people would pass by during this time period, and the cry for help was only heard when they stepped within a hundred meters of the cave.

"Benjia, I'm going to take a look inside. You three will meet me outside the cave."

Xu Yiyu quickly fumbled in his outdoor bag and soon pulled out a few ropes that looked very strong.

She skillfully connected the ropes end to end and tied several knots to ensure their security.

Then, she tied one end of the rope tightly around her waist, as if the rope had become her bond with the outside world.

As she moved, the rope trembled slightly, as if it also felt the challenges and unknowns it was about to face.

Qi He immediately understood Xu Yiyu's plan. After taking the other end of the rope from Xu Yiyu's hand, he nodded firmly at her.

"This rope is roughly estimated to be several dozen meters long. If everything goes well during my exploration, I will pull the rope in the opposite direction. If there is any accident that I cannot handle, I will pull it twice."

During the past few days that Rong Yan and Qi He followed the treasure hunting team, they have become accustomed to Xu Yiyu's straightforwardness and naturalness. They also understand that in the current situation it is not appropriate to argue about who is the most suitable person to explore the cave and check the situation.

While Xu Cheng was wrapping the rope around his palm, he looked up at Xu Yiyu who was already standing at the entrance of the cave, and glared at her fiercely.

"You lead the way again? I won't bother with you this time. I'll settle the score with you when you come back."

"Okay, wait until I come back, and you can settle the accounts with me however you want."

After the two people had a silent conversation through their own tubes, Xu Yiyu didn't say anything else. After adjusting the light of his flashlight to the weakest level, he decisively entered the cave.

In fact, with Xu Yiyu's hearing ability, she could naturally distinguish the approximate distance between the cry for help and her.

However, this was not her real purpose of exploring the cave.

What surprised Xu Yiyu a little was that this seemingly ordinary cave actually had four exits facing different directions on other sides of the mountain.

Not only that, judging from the depth of the sound source, there are many cavities in this cave, like a natural maze carved by nature, which is very convenient for people who are familiar with the maze to hide here for a short time.

——Or, lure the enemy deeper.

The light of Xu Yiyu's flashlight was dim, but the man who called for help seemed to realize that someone outside the cave responded to his call for help. The initial cry for help turned into a rhythmic knocking sound, as if he wanted to help the person outside the cave find him.

But Xu Yiyu, who had never stopped walking, had a secret smile on his lips at this moment.

It seems that the person calling for help has not yet exhausted his energy. Why is the source of the sound getting deeper and deeper...

If Xu still can't see that this is a deliberate trap, she would be really stupid.

Thinking of this, Xu Yiyu stopped walking and no longer went deeper into the cave. Instead, he pulled the rope around his waist and walked back along the same path without wasting a moment.

She doesn't have extra time to deal with this kind of trap with unknown purpose. Even though she, Xu, is confident in her own ability, she doesn't want to waste her time dealing with some meaningless ulterior motives.

Xu Yiyu is curious, but if this curiosity could kill her, she would choose to put it aside first.

The people deep in the cave did not seem to expect that the cave explorer would play by his own rules. The knocking sound, which had been continuous, stopped for two seconds. I wonder if it was trying to figure out the cave explorer's thoughts.

But Xu Yiyu still did not stop his steps to return to the cave entrance, and was too lazy to compete with the person who set the trap.

She walked a few more steps towards the cave entrance, and the knocking sound that had just stopped started again. The knocking rhythm was much faster than before, as if urging Xu Yiyu to go back.

As Xu Yiyu got closer and closer to the cave entrance, he complained in his heart, not knowing whether to say that the man was stupid or foolish.

Generally speaking, in mountainous areas, anyone with a little common sense and outdoor experience knows that in a rock cave whose structure and material are unknown, rashly and forcefully striking the cave will most likely cause rocks to fall from the top of the cave. If the geological structure is fragile, it may even cause a large-scale and unavoidable collapse.

To put it more seriously, if you are not careful, you might die here.

Just like you can't shout loudly on the snowy mountains, avalanches and landslides are mountain accidents where the chances of survival for humans are extremely low. She is not prepared to risk her life to deal with that fool at the bottom of the cave.

The rapid knocking sounds inside the cave formed a sharp contrast with Xu Yiyu's firm footsteps as he walked towards the cave entrance.

One has an ulterior motive, the other is confident.

Accompanied by the drum-like beating sound, Xu Yiyu walked out of the cave again with a flashlight and grinned at the three people waiting for him outside the cave.

“There’s no danger in the cave, but… there’s an idiot with no common sense.
