Chapter 1972 - Digested Corpses (2/2)

“We’ll set out now. He’s one of us now, so we should believe in him… Young man, it turns out that you’ve come prepared?” Kuma asked with a smile.

Mo Fan obviously did not prepare himself. It was part of the information Lingling had purchased! He was not willing to share the information that had cost him a fortune with the others if he did not need their help to clear a path.

The people of the Mailong Private Military Group headed into the Rift Valley. Humans enjoyed following the crowd blindly. When the Mailong Private Military Group went into the Rift Valley confidently, the rest of the hesitant groups started following them too.

The Rift Valley was not a long narrow path, there were countless forks along the way. It was difficult to tell which path was going to lead them to the higher altitudes. After all, the Rift Valley was incredibly long. No one could determine whether the path was actually going to lead them to a higher altitude, nor could they guarantee the path would be clear. Some might end up in a dead-end after traveling for a few kilometers.

The Rift Valley was like a maze, the paths were meandering and interconnected. People might even circle around and end up in the same spot if they lost their way. They would not know if they were going in the wrong direction.

There was little sunlight to guide them in the Rift Valley. Certain segments of it were deep and narrow. The people could only see jagged rocks around them instead of the sky when they looked up, and had to carry torches to light up the surroundings. Other segments were spacious and clear, like an actual valley with plenty of sunlight and flat terrain. They would think they had reached open land if they could not see the walls of the mountains in the distance.

“Damn it, how the hell do we know which way is the right way?” Gavin grumbled impatiently.

“It should be that way there.”

“Should? I don’t want to go back to the cave full of spider poop again!” Gavin cursed.

The group had just made their way through a cave. It was the only path to go deeper into the Rift Valley. The people who explored the Rift Valley first also mentioned a spider cave along the way, so the group assumed they were heading in the right direction. However, the later paths kept leading them back to the spider cave.

“We can ask the Chinese man. Didn’t he come prepared?” Tommy remembered Mo Fan.

“We’ll set up a camp here and rest for now. I’ll ask him for some advice,” Kuma said.

Kuma asked the group to rest on the spot while she went to the ninth team.

“Do you know which way we should go from here?” Kuma asked.

Mo Fan glanced at Lingling when he noticed Kuma looking at him. How could he possibly know the answer?

“Just follow the direction the landslides are coming from,” Lingling said.

Kuma initially thought the little girl was kidding, yet she smiled as she realized something, “That’s right, the landslides are happening because the ice higher up the mountain is melting. The landslides are only occurring because there’s a clear path to send them down. Smart!”

“I suggest you not set up camp here,” Lingling added.

“Why is that?”

“I think the cave is full of digested corpses instead of poop,” Lingling replied.
