Su Yue felt that this was the only way and didn't say anything. After Song Mingtao arranged the groups, everyone carried the wood and prepared to embark on the difficult journey back to the tower.

At this time, snowflakes were still floating in the sky. It had been raining on the ground, and it suddenly snowed, making the ground icy and slippery.

Every step the people carrying the wood took seemed like they were sliding on ice, which was terrifying.

Although Su Yue was not carrying any wood, she felt that the road up the mountain was too slippery and difficult to walk on. Rendong was afraid that Su Yue would fall, so she could only hold Su Yue tightly.

Song Da and his son Song Mingtao were in a group. They carried a thick tree and walked carefully on the snow.

Song Mingtao walked in front, trying to keep his steps steady and open up a relatively safe path for his son. Song Da followed closely behind, gritting his teeth and carrying the wood with all his strength.

They moved step by step, and the ice under their feet made a "crunching" sound from time to time, as if warning them that they might slip at any time.

Although they were very careful, an accident still happened. When passing a small slope, Song Mingtao's feet suddenly slipped and he lost his balance.

He instinctively tried to steady himself, but the wood he was carrying made his center of gravity even more unstable. With a scream, Song Mingtao fell to the ground, and Song Da behind him was also dragged down.

The wood hit the ice heavily, making a dull sound. Song Da quickly got up and helped his father up. "Dad, are you okay?"

Song Mingtao shook his head: "It's okay, I just fell down, it just hurts a little bit, it's nothing serious."

The sounds of Song Da and Song Mingtao falling alarmed the team behind them. The other men carrying wood stopped and looked at them with concern.

Liu Shan shouted loudly: "Brother Song, Da Zi, are you okay?"

Everyone looked worried, fearing that they were seriously injured. Su Yue and Ren Dong heard the noise and hurried over to look.

Su Yue frowned and said, "Uncle Song, are you all right? Everyone must be careful. This road is too slippery."

Ren Dong nervously supported Su Yue, fearing that she would also slip and fall, "Girl, you should be careful too!"

After Liu Danan and Liu Shan put down the wood, they checked whether Song Mingtao and Song Da were injured. After confirming that they only had some scratches, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Mingtao looked at everyone with gratitude and said, "Thank you for your concern. We are fine. Let's continue walking and be careful where you step."

Song Da also said: "Thank you everyone, we will be careful, everyone should pay attention to safety, especially the girls, please be careful not to slip."

After hearing Song Da's words, everyone nodded, picked up the wood again, and continued forward carefully.

However, Song Da, who had just fallen, felt a pain in his legs. He gritted his teeth and tried to keep up with the team. But after taking a few more steps, his feet suddenly softened and he lost his balance again.

"Ah!" With a cry of surprise, Song Da fell again. This time, due to the slippery ground, he slid directly to the foot of the mountain. Everyone was stunned by this sudden change and screamed.

"Dar!" Song Mingtao shouted, watching his son slide down the mountain, anxious.

Su Yue and Rendong also widened their eyes, with expressions of horror on their faces.

Song Da slid rapidly on the snow, his heart filled with fear. He tried desperately to grab something to stop himself from sliding down, but there was nothing around him except slippery ice and snow.

Just when he thought he would keep sliding down, he suddenly felt his body sinking and fell into a hidden underground hole.

Song Da fell heavily to the ground, and a sharp pain came from his whole body. He struggled to stand up, but found that his foot was bitten by something.

He looked down and turned pale with fear. A green-eyed, buck-toothed field mouse the size of a piglet was biting his foot tightly, its sharp teeth sinking deeply into his flesh.

Song Da gasped in pain and instinctively tried to break free, but the giant field mouse was so strong that he couldn't get rid of it.

In a panic, he remembered that he still had six arrows and a crossbow on him. He quickly took out the crossbow, loaded an arrow on it, and aimed at the big field mouse's head.

"Go to hell!" Song Da shouted and pulled the trigger. The arrow shot towards the field mouse like lightning and hit its head accurately.

The big field mouse let out a scream, loosened its mouth, and fell to the ground, with green, smelly blood flowing from its head.

Song Da, looking grim, hurriedly checked his wound and found that it was very deep and blood was constantly pouring out. "It's really unlucky. I don't know if I will be infected and mutated."

Song Da tore a piece of cloth from his clothes and simply bandaged the wound.

Then he looked around and found himself in an underground cave, which was dark and damp, and exuded a foul smell.

In a corner of the cave, he saw a bunch of baby rats. Although these baby rats had not opened their eyes yet, they were as big as adult rats.

After pondering for a moment, Song Da gritted his teeth and decided that he must not leave any future troubles. If these baby mice grow up, they will be a huge threat.

He picked up the axe and walked towards the baby mice. Although he felt a little reluctant, he still wielded the axe and mercilessly killed the baby mice one by one.

Outside the cave, everyone was in chaos. Song Mingtao anxiously ran towards the foot of the mountain, calling his son's name as he ran.

Liu Shan and Liu Danan followed closely behind, their faces full of worry. Su Yue and Ren Dong also followed nervously behind, their hearts filled with uneasiness.

They followed the traces of Song Da's slide and soon found the secret cave.

Everyone gathered at the cave entrance, looking at the dark entrance, their hearts filled with worry. Song Mingtao shouted anxiously into the cave: "Dar! Can you hear me?"

Song Da was delighted when he heard this and quickly responded, "Dad, I'm here! I'm fine!"

Song Da's voice came from the cave, and it sounded like everything was fine, which made everyone feel relieved.

Song Mingtao's eyes were red with excitement. "Dar, just wait. Dad will find a way to rescue you."

Su Yue, who was standing at the end, took out a bundle of hemp rope from the space and handed it to Rendong while no one was noticing her.

Jin Dong understood and quickly handed the hemp rope to Song Mingtao, saying, "Don't worry, Uncle Song. The hemp rope here should be long enough. Let Song Da tie the rope around his waist and I'll pull him up!"

Song Mingtao looked at Ren Dong gratefully, and quickly threw the other end of the hemp rope down, shouting into the cave: "Dar, there is a rope here, tie the rope around your waist, and we will pull you up!"

Song Da in the cave heard Song Mingtao's words, endured the pain in his feet, and tied the rope tightly around his waist with difficulty.
