Chapter 94: Know the roots, know the bottom, explore dangerous situations

Ahri's arrival was indeed beyond Josh's expectation. It was at least five or six days earlier than the "at least two weeks" that Vai said.

To be honest, as the days of Ahri's arrival in Bilgewater progressed, Josh's mood fluctuated greatly.

He has been thinking about what he should say when he sees Ahri again after thousands of years of vicissitudes of life.

But the moment he saw Ahri and looked into her eyes, all the words he had planned disappeared in an instant.

For lovers who are haunted by dreams, Josh and Ahli can understand their thoughts and feelings with just one look.

Ahri's originally resolute golden eyes softened the moment she caught sight of Josh, covering them with a light mist and full of tenderness.

Smart fox ears, snow-white tail, beard-like marks on the delicate face, and those beautiful eyes as bright as stars...

In addition to her temperament, which has become firm and mature, quite like a queen, and has completely lost her original youthfulness, everything about Ahri is exactly the same as it was a thousand years ago.

She took out half of the sunstone from the pocket of her cloak, and Josh took out the other half.

After a short pause, they descended from the mountain and headed to a deep canyon that had never been explored before.

Compared with the previous cave, the peaks rising from the foot of the mountain and the top of the mountain are more dangerous here.

In other words, this is also where Ahri once lived.

The same goes for Ahri.

A faint smell of rust spreads in the mouth, which is a physiological reaction that occurs when someone around you performs magic.

The hot and humid environment in the cave resulted in the formation of many sharp stalactites that almost fell to the ground.

Looking further, the stream affected by arcane magic turned into a dark white color, as if it was contaminated with deadly poison that could kill hundreds of millions of lives. The poisonous gas rose and was extremely dangerous.

As the two of them continued to go deep into the cave, it didn't take long for the magic crutch to sense danger coming from the depths, and it began to shake violently.

The expedition was as difficult as ever. Before it even started, heavy rain had already fallen, instantly soaking their bodies.

Josh was the first to bear the brunt of the torrent and suffered the most violent impact. Coupled with the shaking of the ground, he couldn't help but feel dizzy and couldn't help but vomit.

As expected, it was also a deeply hidden crisis.

The next moment, a drop of crystal tears fell from the corner of Ahri's eyes.

"It's been a long time since our last expedition." Ah Li squeezed the crutch and gently rubbed the outside of the expedition crutch, with a nostalgic smile on her lips, "I almost forgot what it looked like."

The heavy rain outside had stopped, and Josh took out the towel he brought with him to dry both of their bodies that were wet by the rain.

Ah Li lightly hammered Josh's chest, raised his resentful eyes, and looked into Josh's eyes.

"Fortunately, you don't need to heal my wounds." Ah Li clasped his teeth lightly, and his golden-pink eyes flashed with perseverance, "The first time you explore a dangerous place, you have to remember it deeply, so that you can have a deep impression. Let's move on."

There was no more danger around them, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief and continued to climb higher.

She couldn't help it anymore, she held Josh's face with slightly warm hands and pulled it down gently, while Ahri herself stood on tiptoes.

However, Josh and Ah Li have had enough experience before, but they haven't tried it again for many years, so they are a little rusty.

"I..." Josh wiped away the tears on Ahri's face, as if they were stuck in his throat, "Yes..."

…

Josh took a deep breath and said, "The mountain road is far away, let's take our time."

Qiao Xi also put one hand around Ah Li's slender waist, the other hand around her shoulders, and kissed her soft hair that exuded a light and delicate fragrance.

The hot and humid breaths intertwined and the long interaction revealed the two people's longing for thousands of years, as if time had been frozen infinitely in this second.

Ah Li couldn't help but touch her lover's face, crying with joy: "That's great, Josh! I love this adventure so much! It's great to have you by my side, sharing the danger with me."

She turned over and forcibly snatched the expedition crutch from Josh's hand, resisted the spreading venom, and once again took the lead, rushing straight into the deep canyon.

The top floor of the Sentinel Sanctuary is the residence of the leader of the Sentinels of Light.

Even though it has been a long time since Ahri last visited Bilgewater, there are still specially arranged logistics to clean the place every day to keep it free of dust.

"Come on, come into the house with me! You have to honor the promise we made!"

But fortunately, she joined the Sentinel of Light. In order to find Josh, she trained her physical fitness very well, and finally followed Josh to appreciate the scenery on the top of the mountain.

The mountain scenery with ridges on the side and peaks on the side is very beautiful. The long-awaited beauty came into view, and Josh really missed it very much.

It's been too long since I last saw it.

After a short warm-up for the adventure, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, where the adventure officially kicked off.

Ah Li raised her lips with a charming and sweet smile, separated from Josh's arms, grabbed his wrist, and walked directly up the spiral staircase.

An adventure must start with a warm-up, otherwise it is easy to cause hidden dangers.

Josh retrieved for Ahri the crutches they had used for the expedition. It was equipped with spiritual magic and could sense risks. Ahri's eyes suddenly lit up.

"You bastard, you made me wait for you for a thousand years...you have to make it up to me!"

Ahri used crutches as a medium to launch an energy shock wave straight into the ground, temporarily suppressing the danger that might come at any time, and then hurriedly retreated with Josh.

But this time, they reached the deepest part of the canyon and discovered the entrance to the cave where dangerous springs spewed out.

Josh reminded Ahri again that he never imagined that the end of the cave entrance actually connected to the center of the earth, which was so hot that it was impossible to go deeper.

Ahri blinked her red-rimmed left eye playfully, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and her nine fox tails lifted the hem of her cloak, blooming like petals.

"Be careful, this may hurt you!" Josh immediately reminded Ahri.

Both of them were a little overwhelmed and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Biting her thin lips lightly, as if she was still savoring the sweetness of her lover just now, Ahri raised her eyes with blurred eyes, and gently touched Josh's face, with the tip of her nose lightly raised, savoring the familiar scent engraved deep in her memory.

"Sorry~~" Ahri looked back and smiled mischievously, "But you can't blame me~~ Who asked you to leave for so long, and you can't accompany others on adventures."

The elegant and light familiar body fragrance penetrated into Josh's nose, refreshing his soul, and his soft cherry red lips took the initiative to meet and come into contact with it.

He took the initiative to take the magic expedition cane and gently tapped the several peaks rising from the ground.

"I'm sorry..." Josh couldn't think of anything else to say, so he could only apologize, "I didn't know it would take so long..."

The plump and plump peaks lay across the front. After the lesson just learned, Josh did not dare to let Ah Li go forward again.

"Are you okay?" Josh asked with concern, trying to use rune magic to convert magic power to heal Ahri's injuries and relieve the pain.

…

Because the crisis was too rapid, the two of them were hit by the current and had to retreat to the entrance of the canyon.

"It has been May 21, 1007, since you last used projection to see me until now..."

"Okay~~ You don't need to tell me, I know everything."

Josh retreated hurriedly, controlled the cane to launch magic, and hit the mountains directly to repel the danger.

"Ari and I haven't seen each other for a long time. This time we are in this world, so I can only feel sorry for you, Lunessia... I'm sorry."

After taking a breather, Ahri refused to admit defeat at all.

Although Josh used the magic crutch that could sense the crisis to cross the symmetrical slope and walked at the front, Ahri still screamed in pain and was accidentally injured, with blood dripping.

The canyon is so claustrophobic that no one has ever visited it. The sparse weeds have all been eradicated as if they had been specially cleaned up. A rushing stream flows out of the claustrophobic valley, crystal clear to the bottom.

【Hey! What are you going to do?!】

"careful!"

"Josh, it's too dangerous here, let me take the lead!"

Exploration has certain risks, whether it is in the Blessed Isles or Bilgewater today.

Because it was both his and Ah Li's first time visiting this place, and the stream was gushing rapidly, and the mountain walls collapsed, making it seem like there was an earthquake.

After an unknown amount of time, the two of them were finally out of breath and their lips separated.

She pressed her face against Josh's chest and tightly wrapped her hands around his waist, as if she wanted to integrate herself into him.

The compensation Ahri wants is very simple. Josh fulfills the agreement he made back then and takes her on a difficult adventure.

Ahri always dares to be the first. Thousands of years have passed, and her character has matured. She has completely lost her timidity when facing danger. She holds an exploration crutch to explore the risks in the cave, and takes the initiative to step forward.

"No matter what, as long as I can do it!" Josh caressed Ahri's face with the back of his fingers, and said guiltily, "I will definitely make it up to you!"

"Oh, when people tell you this, do they want this answer?"

Josh stared at Ahri's eyes blankly, and saw her pair of golden vertical pupils flickering with a pink shimmer.

Fortunately, they found a cave in time to take shelter from the rain.

"Long time no see." A faint word, containing Ah Li's deep longing for her, "Why, don't you have anything to say to me?"

A pair of furry fox ears moved lightly, and occasionally scratched Josh's skin, giving him a slight tickling feeling that passed through his heart.

He had just said a word when Ahri's hand touching his face extended its index finger and placed it in front of Josh's lips.

Ahri took a quick step and trotted up to Josh. Two pieces of emerald stone in the shape of burning flames fit together tightly, leaving no gaps.

Ignoring Lunessia's screams, he took off the Dance of Death from his neck and stored it temporarily.

The canyon was narrow and dark, and the level of danger was far beyond Josh's expectation.

The climbing process was actually not too smooth, and Ali's climbing skills were already too unfamiliar.

"I've already thought of a way to compensate."

Because of the lack of previous exploration skills, Ahri actually used the expedition crutch to test the stalactites, which made Josh feel embarrassed for a while.

Josh felt the same way, "Me too."

Cough cough, cough cough cough...

An ordinary adventure could be more detailed.

But, hey, you have to be motivated (crazy hint ())
