1275 Follow the Ligh (2/2)
”Well, although I can't solve the problem of the narrow passageway, I can help with a temporary solution for the darkness.”
Zhang Zian, sensing he could not talk it out of this, went back to the car and took out a light stick.
The light stick was not only used in concerts. It was also an essential item in the wilderness. It was very light, easy to carry, and it could continue to glow in water. The light was omnidirectional, soft, not glaring, and could illuminate a large area. It had a wide and diverse range of uses and was more practical than a flashlight.
He bent one to make it light up and demonstrated to Galaxy how to use it.
”Wow! Great!”
Galaxy opened its mouth in surprise, its pupils reflecting the pale green glow of the light stick.
”It's very simple. You can fold it, you can step on it, or you can drop it. You can do just about anything to light it up.”
Zhang Zian tied a string around the light stick. ”Fina and Old Time Tea will also need some lighting. I will throw the stick down the passageway.”
”Hey! Galaxy will do it! Zhang Zian is too slow!” Galaxy took the initiative and, at the same time, gave him a look that was somewhat condescending to Zhang Zian.
”…Okay.”
Fina and Old Time Tea must be waiting anxiously. It was a long ladder… It did make his legs turn to jelly. Furthermore, the end of the ladder was more than two meters away from the hole, and he couldn't jump in directly. To get closer, it would take him a lot of effort to extend the ladder.
He handed the light stick to Galaxy, and it carefully opened its mouth.
”Oh, oh, oh!”
Galaxy made a few sounds, meaning, ”I am leaving.”
”Be careful. Don't be too anxious when climbing the ladder. Be careful when you go in. Think before you act…” He tirelessly shouted out instructions. After all, Galaxy was different from Fina and Old Time Tea.
”Oh, oh, oh!”
Without waiting for him to finish, Galaxy landed on the ladder and leaped up lightly.
Its movements are neither as big as Fina's nor as light as Old Time Tea's. However, it still jumped naturally and looked very relaxed.
Soon, it came to the last step. It looked up and casually jumped forward.
Zhang Zian's heart tightened at this point. His vision turned blurry, and he could not see what had just happened. By then, Galaxy was already directly in front of the hole.
Galaxy put down the light sticks, held them with its front paws, and then used its mouth to pull one out and gently bite down on it.
The light stick bent with a slight snapping sound. Yellow light emerged.
It plunged its head into the hole and loosened its mouth, and the light stick slid down.
”As long as you run fast enough, you can even catch light!”
As it talked to itself, it bowed its head, picked up the remaining light sticks, and jumped into the hole. It chased after the yellow light, escaping the darkness behind it.
