Chapter 218: We are saved

You sleep, I'll keep watch first, we'll rotate later.

The three beastfolk had arranged it this way before.

After all, we're in an unfamiliar place; the necessary vigilance must not be lacking.

The light seeping out through the cave opening has disappeared, indicating that outside has already entered night.

At that moment, a series of beastfolk howls suddenly came from above.

The three beastfolk all twitched their ears and woke up: "Are our clansmen coming to find us?"

Teng Qian excitedly jumped up, his four tiger paws bouncing on the ground: "We're saved!"

A huge tiger was bouncing on the ground, and Wu Yue also groggily woke up.

The howls of the Snow Tiger Clan people outside continued; her eyes brightened, she looked at the three beastfolk beside her: "Have our clansmen come to find us?"

Yuan Lang's massive tiger head rubbed against her neck: "Mm, that's my father's howl."

Having said that, she turned her head to look at Teng Qian: "Teng Qian, send a message to Father."

Hearing this, Teng Qian excitedly let out two low roars, struck what he thought was a mighty pose, preparing to roar, but his tiger head was suddenly slapped.

A massive battle‑axe instantly looked a bit dazed: "Roar?"

Don't roar yet.

Wu Yue frowned and spoke in a low voice: "Besides Uncle Yuan Qi and his group who came with us this time, there is also a hunting party from the Black Wolf Tribe."

If we call Uncle Yuan Qi and them over, those Black Wolf Tribe beastfolk will certainly come as well.

Teng Qian let out a regretful low howl: "Even if they come, they won't know that the crystals here are salt crystals, right?"

Yuan Lang suddenly spoke up: "Do you think you're the only beast in the whole Polar Forest who got hemorrhoids?"

Teng Qian: "..."

Boss, can you stop always bringing up my hemorrhoids?

Dejected, he walked back to the previous resting spot and lay down: "All right, I'll just stay put then."

Yuan Lang's huge tiger paw pulled Wu Yue to his side: "Rest quickly; we have things to do tomorrow."

Wu Yue sighed: "I hope Uncle Yuan Qi and them don't go too far."

Perhaps because she had things on her mind, she didn't sleep well, tossing and turning until the latter half of the night before drifting off again in a daze.

When she woke the second day, only Teng Kun remained in the cave, sitting on a stone not far away, now looking up anxiously toward the cave ceiling.

Wu Yue's heart tightened; she quickly sat up and followed his gaze. The cave opening above seemed to have been stepped on, and the sunlight streaming in was a bit more than yesterday.

At this moment, on the cave wall, two agile beastfolk were steadily moving toward the opening.

What made her heart tighten was that this entire underground cavern seemed to be made of salt crystals, even the area near the opening being deep‑blue crystals.

Although it looked splendid in the sunlight, for the two beast‑warrior warriors currently bracing themselves with their claws, it was extremely dangerous.

The crystal wall is very smooth, not very sturdy, and moreover the area around the opening is a flat plane.

To climb to the opening, the remaining few meters would essentially be a person hanging from the crystal wall.

At this moment, the two beastfolk clinging to the cave wall, looking at the not‑far opening, also fell into silence.

"Boss, we can't get up like this; we can now step on the crystal wall to spread our weight, but to climb up to the opening we'd have to hang from the wall, and this salt crystal simply can't support our weight."
