Chapter 195: Trouble at the Tourist Group
Translator: Tim Editor: Chrissy
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she took a while to react and pointed at a distant peak and said, "I seed to have saw people there, I want to go have a look."
It seed to be due to Ning Qingxue not wanting to talk much but no one doubted her words.
After a while, a man in his 40s said, "Don’t think about it, it may seem not far to you, but it’s a long journey to walk there. Plus, this is a no man’s land. We’re just in the outskirts. The no man’s land of Shen Nong Jia is very dangerous, so it’s best if you don’t go in."
"What danger is there, I will go have a look." A youth in his 20s heard Ning Qingxue’s words and wanted to show off. He ran a few steps forward, turned back and said, "It’s only so ti, Shen Nong Jia is no longer the sa as before. They say there are savages, but which one of you saw.. arghh..."
This youth was originally just joking, but when he wanted to turn, he felt the bottom his foot was empty as he fell down. Luckily, he reacted fast and grabbed the rim of the hole that appeared out of nowhere.
At this mont, a few people reacted and ca to help pull him up.
This youth looked at the pitch black hole, he was scared sweating. Half a beat later, he said still shakily, "If I fell down, I would’ve lost my life for sure.
"Not good, retreat, there are more places cracking open nearby." Another man found that the ground was cracking at where people were standing.
The people were frightened and retreated. Just when people retreated to the edge, the holes that cracked open rumbled and suddenly, a much larger black hole appeared in front of them.
There was a murmuring sound from the hole, making people’s bones chill. It was pitch black looking inside, and nothing could be seen. It was as though the mouth of a giant.
"What is this?" a woman in her 30s looked at this hole. She was speaking with a shaky tone.
"It should be the sky pitch of Shen Nong Jia. It’s said that there are lots of these in the no man’s land. There are also mist regions. These places are where you can’t co out from. I didn’t think we would encounter it. Retreat quickly," The middle-aged man from before spoke again.
Hearing his words, everyone retreated; Ning Qingxue also followed everyone to the side of a tent in fear.
Finally, people gasped sighs of relief when they went back to the camp site.
"I actually encountered the sky ditch, this is too coincidental. What was that murmuring sound?" people asked as soon as they went back to the tents.
"It’s not a coincidence, there are many of these at Shen Nong Jia. There’s pretty much no living if you fall in one of those. And those murmuring sound, I suspect it’s due to wind circulating inside," the middle-aged man said seriously.
The youth who almost fell in finally caught his breath now that everyone was talking. He said, "Almost lost my life there, no wonder there are so many people who have gone missing at Shen Nong Jia. We’re just at the outskirts. If we go in, 80% chance we’ll lose our lives."
"Pftt, didn’t you just say there was no danger but just ti consuming?" soone retaliated imdiately.
This youth lost his face and said, "It seems I just know too little."
At this mont, Cui Lin also ca over with a bad face. "The tourism company just notified us to get out and cancel the plan at the no man’s land."
Surprisingly, no one objected. Everyone was scared by this experience and felt adventure was not such a simple thing. The 20 or so people packed their bags and heard an even sharper howl from the ditches. This definitely wasn’t made by the wind.
Everyone looked at each other. After a long while, the middle-aged man said, "Leave quick, that sound seed to be coming over here. There are too many unknown dangers in Shen Nong Jia. Let’s go out first."
No one objected and ran outside quickly.
Although it was dark, but people ran quite fast. They didn’t take much ti to get out.
When everyone ca out of the no man’s land, they gradually cald down.
"Count the people, we should go to the nearest tourist spot," the middle-aged man said.
Although Cui Lin was the tour guide, she seed a bit nervous and started to count people.
"21, we’re missing one." Cui Lin’s voice was shaky. Obviously, she knew what one person missing ant.
The middle-aged man imdiately said, "Let count, 1, 2... we’re indeed missing one. Everyone looked around to check who didn’t co out. Call the police, we can’t go back in, it’s too dangerous."
"Zhang Qiang didn’t co out." People imdiately realized who was left behind.
"The young guy who stepped into the ditch?" The middle-aged man imdiately found out who Zhang Qing was.
"How co it had to be him who didn’t make it? Was it because of the sky ditch?" soone had asked the question no one dared to ask.
The people imdiately sunk into silence. No one brought up to go back and look for Zhang Qiang; this thing seed eerie.
"I think Zhang Qiang might be scared and lost his way running outside," the middle-aged man said sothing even if he didn’t really believe it. This many people didn’t get lost but he did.
Cui Lin worriedly said, "What do we do now? Do we go back and look for him?"
No one replied, everyone was scared of the sky ditch. No one had the guts to go back in to find soone.
"Wait for the rescue team." No one wanted to go risk their lives for a stranger. Even the middle-aged man went quiet. After all, what just happened was too terrifying.
Ning Qingxue followed them quietly to the nearest tourist spot. When everyone went in the hotel, the rescue team had went in. There were two tourist groups that followed the rescue team.
Ning Qingxue finally understood the dangers of Shen Nong Jia. She even wanted to look under that cliff, but now, it seed that before she got there, she would’ve lost her life. This wasn’t sothing that could be done with courage. Sotis, power was needed, and she didn’t have that power now.
She could no longer calm down not being able to see if that person was Ye Mo. She ca out to relax and hid Ye Mo’s figure from her mind in the depths of her heart, but now, she felt her mood was even ssier. Ye Mo’s figure kept swinging around in front of her eyes; the mont he fell from the cliff beca clearer and clearer.
Did she think too much and thought of soone else as him? Otherwise, why did he go to that place? Ning Qingxue thought of Ye Mo’s small dical case, perhaps he was gathering herbs there.
Cui Lin was still quite anxious. It was the first ti soone has gone missing when she was a tour guide.
"Cui Lin, I want to ask you sothing, your company has a helicopter. Can it be rented to save others?" Ning Qingxue, however, ca to Cui Lin and asked about this.
Cui Lin shook her head and said, "The company rarely mobilized the helicopter. Renting it is impossible. It isn’t a simple thing. They needed to verify there is a target and then apply for a permit. Otherwise, the helicopter can’t be mobilized easily."
Ning Qingxue had understood, to be honest, the helicopter was just a way of making people feel safe. It was useless when sothing really happened.
With this occurrence, no one had the mood to play. The tour group went back to Yu State the next day, but Ning Qingxue didn’t go back with them. She went back to Ning Hai. She knew it was a dream to go back to that cliff with her own ability. Plus, she wasn’t even sure if that person was Ye Mo. Perhaps she thought about Ye Mo so much that even a figure was recognized as Ye Mo by her.
Even if she really went and that person was Ye Mo, he wouldn’t be alive falling from such a high cliff. Although she really wanted to ask for a helicopter, but she couldn’t even say what person she was saving. If only Chi Wanqing was here, her father would be able to help.
The main purpose of going back to Ning Hai was to confirm if the person she saw was Ye Mo. Although she wasn’t sure if Ye Mo would co to Ning Hai, she still wanted to go look at Ye Mo’s school. It was because this was the ti to get the graduation certificate, so perhaps Ye Mo would co back for it. Plus, she wanted to ask Su Jingwen about so things.
Ning Qingxue went back to Ning Hai and saw that flower in the pot was growing very well. She felt relieved. It seed Xu Wei looked after this grass quite well. But soon, she noticed sothing different. She saw that there were many small buds next to the grass. Who grew that? No, they were the sa breed as the grass she grew. It just didn’t look like it was growing very well.
The mont she saw them, her mood was excited again. Did Ye Mo co back? Ning Qingxue felt her breaths were desperate.
