Chapter 174.1: Tree Valley (2/2)

As if to support his words, the sound of something ripping through the water came from the pool. Closely following that sound, a triangular head that was about a meter wide broke the surface and rushed at the three with its jaws wide. The enormous snake tongue almost licked Tang Doudou’s cheek.

“Get the f*ck back!” reprimanded Shen Moru fiercely when he saw that snake’s head.

That snake’s red eyes flashed, then it withdrew back into the pool.

Tang Doudou only started shuddering after the water surface returned to stillness. “S-scared this poor baby to death!”

Even though she had said it in a small voice, she still attracted Shen Moru’s fury. “Shut up!”

Tang Doudou hastily closed her mouth. However, lying on Mu Ye’s back, she kept feeling like her back was cold as if something was staring at her from the dark.

Tang Doudou shifted uncomfortably. When Mu Ye noticed, he put her on the ground without saying anything.

As she watched with a confused expression, he picked her up again in a princess carry. He said softly, “You should sleep for a while.”

Before Mu Ye mentioned it, she hadn’t felt it. But after he said that, she felt dizzy and decided to just close her eyes. “En.”

Shen Moru turned back. When he saw that Tang Doudou was sleeping against Mu Ye’s chest, his originally gloomy expression was replaced with a beaming one. Heh, it looked like the first step was almost complete.

They walked for about an hour through the cave. After passing that karst cave with the pool, there was a pitch black pathway. At the end of the pathway, there was light, so it probably led to an exit.

Shen Moru had already walked out. Mu Ye lightly patted Tang Doudou’s arm in order to wake her up.

However, he realized something was wrong the moment his hand made contact. His expression turned serious as he touched Tang Doudou’s forehead. It was really hot!
