Chapter 1293: Tribulation Transcendence (3)
This stone mountain was not big, but it was very tall. In fact, it was the tallest mountain in the vicinity, so one could see the general situation within a five-kilometer radius from it. However, due to the fact that it was dark now, everyone could only see pitch blackness when they looked into the distance.
However, in the middle of the night, the rumbling sound was especially loud. Even with the interference of the rain and thunder, they could imagine the scene of mud flowing down the mountain, overpowering the trees and sweeping away the rocks.
As the guard captain looked at the rapidly rising mudslide at the foot of the mountain, he could not help but wipe away his cold sweat. Fortunately, they were fast enough. If they had been any slower, they would have died in this mudslide.
Mu Yangling was also very glad, but they weren’t safe yet. At present, this mountain was surrounded by mudslides like a lone mountain. Moreover, the rain was getting heavier. She was not sure if this mountain could be spared from being engulfed by the mudslide if it continued to rain, even if they were already at the top of the mountain.
Most importantly, they had thrown away all their luggage. Other than the clothes they were wearing, they did not even have any clothes to ward off the cold. It was fine for adults like them, but Baozhu and Little Leopard were still young.
"Search this mountain and see if there are any caves. If there aren’t, find a protruding rock that can shelter us from the rain. Let’s hide from the rain first." Mu Yangling instructed, "Be careful."
The guard captain agreed and quickly sent out six guards to search.
Fortunately, their luck was not bad, and they managed to find a small cave a little higher up the mountainside. Perhaps it could not be called a cave. More accurately speaking, it was a rock stretched out, and a large part of the rock underneath was concave. As there was only a distance of more than a meter between the rocks, wind and rain could not enter no matter how heavily it rained.
Mu Yangling and the others needed to climb in, but Little Leopard and Baozhu held hands and carefully entered. Seeing that this space was warm and dry, and with their mother by their side, they felt much safer.
Squeezed into this tiny space, there was only enough room for this group of 19 people to turn around. As there was no dry firewood, they could only use the weak light from the flint to check the small cave.
