Journey to the Mysterious Sea

Chapter 42: Quarrel at the Foot of the Mountain

Wang Xunhai went through countless hardships and finally arrived at the foot of the Western Tianshan Mountains. Along the way, he was very experienced. He had to sleep in the open air and travel day and night. He crossed countless turbulent rivers, climbed countless steep mountains, and lost his way in the vast wilderness. However, with his firm belief and perseverance, he overcame many difficulties and finally stood on this mysterious land.

He looked up tiredly. The Xitian Mountain stood tall and straight into the sky, like a giant pillar that seemed to pierce the sky. The peaks were steep, as if they were cut by a knife and an axe. The steep cliffs were frightening. The clouds and mists lingered between the peaks, adding a bit of mystery to this majestic mountain range, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland. The winding mountain road like the ridge of the Xitian Mountain was like a giant dragon entrenched in the mountains. The mountain road was rugged, steep and dangerous, and some places were even almost vertical, which was daunting. Every stone seemed to carry the vicissitudes of time. They were either eroded by wind and rain, or covered with moss, looking ancient and mysterious. Every trace seemed to tell a story of history. Perhaps it was the footprints of ancient warriors, or perhaps it was the mark of nature's magic, which brought people a deep shock.

Wang Xunhai stared at the scene in front of him, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart. He remembered the hardships along the way, the companions who had accompanied him but left along the way, and the dreams and pursuits in his heart. He knew that the road ahead was still full of unknowns and challenges, but he was ready. After a moment, he slowly retracted his gaze, then turned around and looked at his companions behind him. His eyes revealed a hint of determination and expectation, and he said, "It seems that there is no one here now!"

When Song Qishu heard this, his brows knitted tightly, his face full of irritation and impatience. He yelled at the top of his voice: "There must be no one here. Who would be crazy enough to stay here? This broken place has nothing, no one lives there! Only a lunatic like you would come all the way here! It's a waste of time and energy!" His words were like a sharp sword, piercing everyone's heart. His eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if all his unhappiness had burst out at this moment. He kept waving his arms, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment in his heart.

Chao Yiting shook her head helplessly, with a hint of disappointment and helplessness in her eyes. She whispered, "Song Qieshu, stop complaining like this. We are a team now, and we need to support each other to move forward. In this difficult time, we should unite as one, instead of blaming and attacking each other." Her voice was soft, but full of power. She looked at Song Qieshu firmly, hoping that he could calm down and stop destroying the harmony of the team.

After hearing this, Song Qieshu glared at Chao Yiting fiercely, his eyes full of malice and ridicule. He said sarcastically: "You must think that this boy is handsome, and you were deceived by his sweet words to come here, and you even implicated us! Don't think I don't know your little tricks!" His words were unbearable to hear, and Chao Yiting's face turned pale instantly. She never thought that Song Qieshu would say such a thing.

Guang Shichen couldn't stand it anymore. His brows were furrowed and his face was gloomy. He said seriously, "Song Qieshu, be careful with your words and don't make personal attacks! We are a team and should respect everyone instead of making groundless accusations and abuses here." His voice was firm and powerful, full of a sense of justice. His eyes revealed his dissatisfaction and disappointment with Song Qieshu. He didn't understand why Song Qieshu would be so disregarding of the unity of the team.

Song Qieshu didn't care. He replied angrily, "How did I attack you personally? Isn't what I said the truth? You have all been fooled by him, why are you still pretending to be a good person?" His attitude was extremely bad, and he didn't realize his mistake at all. His eyes were full of provocation, as if he was demonstrating to everyone.

Cang Weimin also frowned beside him, his eyes full of worry and doubt. He raised his head and looked at the seemingly ordinary mountain in front of him. He could hear his companions' endless quarrels and felt irritated. The mountain was not as mysterious and magnificent as he had imagined. Instead, it seemed a bit ordinary. The trees on the mountain were sparse and the grass was not lush, which was far from his expectations. He glanced at Wang Xunhai irritably, as if his eyes were saying: You brought us here, shouldn't you give a reasonable explanation? This mountain looks ordinary, and there is no treasure at all like you said.

Wang Xunhai did not explain too much, his eyes revealed a kind of firmness and confidence. He knew that it was useless to say more now, and he could only prove his choice with practical actions. He stepped forward and said firmly: "We will see the treasure soon, and I don't want to conflict with anyone here! Song Qishu! If you don't want to be kicked out of the team, restrain yourself! We won't spoil you like your parents!" His voice was full of majesty and determination, leaving no room for doubt. His eyes flashed with a firm light, as if he had seen the treasure before his eyes.

Song Qieshu was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness. He never thought that Wang Xunhai would say such a thing. He originally thought that he could do whatever he wanted in the team, but he didn't expect Wang Xunhai to treat him so harshly. Then, he was furious and was about to refute, but Wang Xunhai turned around and walked away, striding towards the mountain. His steps were firm and powerful, without any hesitation or retreat. His figure looked particularly tall in the afterglow of the setting sun, like an insurmountable mountain.

Seeing this, Guang Shichen and Cang Weimin had no choice but to keep up with Wang Xunhai's pace, even though they still had doubts in their hearts. They knew that at this time, unity was the most important thing. Even if they had many questions and uneasiness in their hearts, they could only put them aside temporarily and face the unknown together. They followed Wang Xunhai silently, with a hint of determination in their eyes. They believed that as long as everyone united, they would be able to overcome difficulties and find the treasure.

Even Chao Yiting snorted coldly, with a hint of disdain and indifference in her eyes. She glanced at Song Qishu coldly, and then walked towards the mountain. Her figure seemed so determined, as if nothing could stop her. Although she was angry at Song Qishu's behavior, she knew that now was not the time to care about it. Only by finding the treasure could she prove that her choice was correct.

In this way, everyone isolated Song Qieshu. Song Qieshu looked at the empty space around him, and for a moment he fell into a helpless and depressed mood. His heart was full of regret and anger, but he had nowhere to vent. He thought of what he had done along the way, and his heart was full of self-blame. He knew that his behavior had caused dissatisfaction among everyone, but he was unwilling to admit his mistakes. He shouted angrily: "I know you all hate me, but I will never let you go! I will follow you to the end! I want to see how you guys with sick brains will face this empty ending! This is the end of not listening to my advice!" His voice echoed in the valley, seeming so lonely and helpless.

After saying that, Song Qishu also walked towards the mountain, but his steps seemed a little heavy.
