Chapter 836: Chapter 840: The Fourth Trial 13
Having said so much in one breath, Su Tang felt parched and tongue-tied.
Qiu Mo, standing beside her, immediately handed her a little Water Ball.
The cool sensation ran down her throat and moistened her heart, instantly making Su Tang feel much better.
"Alright, time is limited, let’s figure out what this map is really trying to tell us," she said.
So everyone stared—intently at the second map, as if they were trying to will a flower to bloom from it.
Time passed by for quite a while.
Xi’en, stroking his chin, said, "The frame above has 9 dots, and the frame below has 12 dots, is there any connection between them?"
With his lead, the others began to speak up eagerly.
Qiu Mo guessed, "Could it be Cave No. 3? There are three more dots in the frame below than in the frame above."
Xi’en said, "Hmm, I think Qiu Mo’s right."
Yadang: "Seconded."
Su Tang: "Seconded +1."
With that, everyone’s gaze turned to Gaiyin, who was now the only one left to give his opinion.
Gaiyin couldn’t help a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
What else could he do? Of course, he agreed.
Cave No. 1 and Cave No. 2 had already been ruled out, they only had to choose from the remaining Caves No. 3, 4, 5, and 6.
When they had run out before, Gaiyin had been careful to notice that none of the four cave entrances behind them were enveloped in a Barrier.
This meant that either Bai Que and his group had all been eliminated by the Long Tooth Beasts, or they had already moved on to the next cave.
This was their first wrong guess, and there were only two Long Tooth Beasts; given Bai Que and his group’s abilities, it was impossible for them to be eliminated, which meant they must have found the correct cave already.
Before they entered Cave No. 2, Bai Que had said they would be entering the last cave.
If that was true, then the last cave would be the right one.
Unfortunately, Gaiyin didn’t trust Bai Que.
He only ever trusted himself.
"Alright, we’re going to Cave No. 3!"
Before leaving, Su Tang gave everyone a reminder.
"Let’s all remember these maps separately; even though we can come back if we get it wrong, that would waste too much time."
Once everything was ready, they all set off for the cave again, brimming with confidence and vigor.
They hadn’t gone far when Qiu Mo suddenly let out a curious ’hmm’.
Everyone stopped in their tracks. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
Su Tang asked, "Momo, what’s wrong?"
Qiu Mo scratched her head and said, "Oh, it’s nothing. I just felt the vines and little white flowers on the walls on both sides of the cave resemble the lines and little dots we saw on the second map."
Hearing this, everyone immediately began examining the walls more closely.
Since Yadang hadn’t paid much attention to the second map, and they were still close to the Cave Entrance, he glanced at the cave’s interior and quickly ran out.
Soon after, he came back in a flurry, exclaiming loudly, "It’s identical! The map is actually of the cave, the drawing is just so... hahaha..."
This unexpected discovery lightened everyone’s spirits.
Thinking back to the other maps, they suddenly understood how to find the clues.
"Momo, you’re amazing!"
"Amo’s really impressive!"
"My little sister is the smartest!"
Qiu Mo, who had barely contributed in the previous challenges, now blushed with embarrassment under a shower of compliments.
She murmured with a shy, red face, "No, Tangtang is the best, I couldn’t really help much."
Su Tang, grinning, walked up and linked her arm through Qiu Mo’s, "Our Momo is also very impressive."
