  I walked down the mountain with Xiao Yang, Lu Qi looked at us from a distance, his eyes were puzzled, and there was a hint of envy. "Don't pretend, if you have skills and don't use them, isn't that a waste?" Lu Qi shouted.

  I thought so too, anyway, everyone saw it, so there's no need to be reserved. So I took a few virtual steps and arrived in front of him. Xiao Yang also didn't want to show weakness, and with a flicker of his eyes, he arrived too.

  "It seems I'm holding you back." Lu Qi was extremely depressed, his eyebrows tightly furrowed. "No way? I know how great you are." I quickly comforted him, "I just ran a little bit! Otherwise, I'll teach you next time!" His eyes lit up: "Was that your lightness skill just now? Great speed! You promised to teach me, no backing out okay?"

  "Alright, stop dawdling, we can't afford to waste any more time!" I pulled on his hand. "Xiao Yang, let's hurry up!" Xiao Yang nodded and also reached out to grab Lu Qi's other arm. Then he took a deep breath, and with a few swift movements, we arrived at the giant rock. The surface of the rock was quite wide, and the three of us had enough room to stand on it.

  "What now?" I looked around, and the road just now was difficult to walk, but it's not as dangerous as the current situation. Because of this huge rock protruding, the bottom is empty, I guess the entrance to the cave is under this huge rock. But how do we get in? There isn't even a single tree nearby that can be used for support. It makes sense, who would come to plant trees on such a steep cliff?! "It would be great if we had a rope." Lu Qi finally recovered from his earlier shock.

  Xiao Yang scratched his head: "I didn't bring a rope, but I brought a flashlight. Oh, and I also have a dagger, just in case we encounter any wild beasts." "Dagger?" I looked at the mountain beside us, which became steeper and more precipitous as it went down. It was indeed difficult to go down, but fortunately, there was soil next to the boulder, so if we dug a few holes, we could use them for support. This made me think of rock climbing in later generations - wasn't it like this? The dagger would come in handy. I took the dagger and walked to the edge of the boulder, squatting down. "What are you doing?" Lu Qi called out anxiously, reaching out to grab me.

  I turned back with a smile: "Nothing, isn't this what we're trying to figure out?" Xiao Yang understood as soon as he saw it and took over the dagger, saying: "Let me do it!" I stood up and let him crouch down, but this was still very dangerous. So I reached out and grabbed his clothes from behind to prevent him from falling over. Then Lu Qi also instinctively grabbed onto me.

  Xiao Yang took the dagger and started digging. A hole was soon dug, but it got harder below, how to dig next? Still need a rope. I looked around and suddenly found some vines in the mountain forest that had just passed by, and quickly said to Xiao Yang: "Wait a minute! I'll be right back." As soon as the words were spoken, he turned around and rushed into the forest. They urgently called out from behind: "Be careful!"

  I came to the rattan, pulled it down, tried it out, and found it wasn't sturdy enough. I wound a few more turns around it, which was fine, as long as it could hold for now. Holding those rattans, I flew over again. Lu Qi's face was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, mixed with some inexplicable emotions.

  I smiled and said to them, "I'm small and light, so I'll try this vine first!" Looking at the protruding part on the surface of the giant stone, I wrapped one end of the vine around the stone and the other end around my waist. Lu Qi looked at me, then at the vine, and nodded reluctantly: "Be careful! If you're exhausted, we'll pull you up right away." Xiao Yang came over to carefully inspect it before letting go. The two of them held the other end, I took out my dagger, and started sliding down, one hand grasping the hole that Xiao Yang had just dug, the other hand starting to dig a new hole. After digging, I slid down again, and repeated this process until I was exhausted, finally reaching the entrance of the cave. The entrance was not high, only allowing people to crouch, but the location was good, able to accommodate two or three people standing. Looking at the long tunnel I had dug, they could now come down safely.

  I was overjoyed, quickly untied the tree vines and shouted loudly at the top: "I'm at the entrance of the cave! You guys pull up the tree vines and come down like I just did!" They heard my voice and happily responded with a loud shout. Next to come down was Lu Qi, who indeed wrapped the tree vines around his waist, adding to the hole I had dug earlier, making it quite easy for him to descend, although his hands got dirty. This really is like rock climbing in later generations, but we should be called "tree-vine-climbing" instead, as we climbed down along the tree vines and the holes I dug! Haha! Now we're climbing upside down, but when we go back, it'll be a normal climb! Can't help but feel proud of ourselves, we're quite clever after all!

  Lü Qi untied the tree vines, and Xiao Yang quickly came down too. It was a bit cramped, we were all crouching with our waists bent, unable to straighten up. "Xiao Ruo, you really are something, able to think of this method!" Xiao Yang stretched out his thumb in praise, "You know, many adults in our village wanted to get in, but none succeeded." "Really?" I couldn't help but feel proud, "Who are we? We're the big sisters, after all!"

  "Hmph..." Lu Qi laughed so hard he was shaking, "You're just a little kid, and you're calling me 'big sister'?" I glared at him unhappily, and he quickly leaned in close to my ear and said, "But your kung fu is really impressive, you can be the leader!" His breath on my ear was hot and ticklish, that unique boyish scent making me feel dizzy for a moment.

  "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? Are you angry?" Lu Qi's voice was a bit tense, and I turned my head to respond: "No... uh". My mouth seemed to have touched something soft. Ah, it was his face or lips! I fainted! It was so embarrassing, just turning my head like that, who would have thought he'd also lean in and we ended up sharing an intimate kiss. This guy must have done it on purpose, I glared at him angrily, wiped my mouth, and quickly turned around to put some distance between us.

  "Xiao Yang, where's the flashlight? We should go in." I reached out for the flashlight from Xiao Yang, who silently looked at me with one eye, then pulled out the flashlight from his pocket. Facing Xiao Yang, I felt a bit guilty. I quickly took it and prepared to enter the hole.

  "Don't move!" Xiao Yang shouted, "I'll go first." I stopped in my tracks, sidestepped to let him pass, and handed him the flashlight again. He didn't take it, so I explained: "You need to lead the way." He didn't say anything, just took it from me.

  Looking at Lu Qi again, he was smiling slyly at me with a mischievous glint in his eyes. I pursed my lips, not wanting to be angry with him now. This was a critical moment, and the hole was pitch black inside - we three needed to work together. So I let it slide... but there seemed to be a tiny bit of sweetness in my heart too!

  I followed Xiao Yang, walking slowly. The ground in the cave was not flat and very narrow, with many uneven stones, making it difficult to walk. Lu Qi was behind me, stretching out his hand to hold onto me: "Slow down!" Seeing the serious expression on his face, I couldn't help but laugh. Xiao Yang walked a few steps ahead and then waited, shining his flashlight on the path beneath our feet.
