However, it wasn't serious. Even if they hadn't been tied to the rope, they wouldn't fall because they were able to grab onto stones.

Unfortunately, when they finished two thirds of the road, Billy slipped again. This time, his whole body fell, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Luckily, he only fell a meter down. After the rope went taught, he was caught and he felt relieved. Without delay, he caught the branch near him, then placed his feet on the ground to stabilize himself.

Gano was scared. Without the rope, Billy could have fallen down at that moment.

It should be more than twenty meters high, and the reefs were sharp, so he might lose his life if he fell.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Leng." Billy sincerely thanked Leng Shaoting after calming down.

"You're welcome," Leng Shaoting said.

After the accident, Gano and Billy were more grateful to Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning. They even felt that they were a burden on them.

However, they needed Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting's help, because they couldn't climb over this mountain on their own.

They didn't spend much time on the climb. With Leng Shaoting's help, Gano and Billy saved some energy.

However, both of them were tired, so Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting told them to have a rest before they continued to climb.

After they reached the top of the mountain, they still needed to walk for about a hundred meters and the road was uneven, but it wasn't so difficult for Gano and Billy now.

Although Gano and Billy were curious to know where Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting would start searching for the cave, they said nothing. They just silently followed Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting.

After reaching the top of the mountain, they had to climb down.

This side wasn't so rugged, but it was still hard. Besides, it was more dangerous to climb down than it was to climb up, so they didn't untie the rope.

Gano and Billy didn't run into any trouble this time, because they were more cautious than they were earlier.

Once they reached the foot of the mountain, they were very close to the cave. It was only ten meters away from them, but it was the most difficult part of their journey.

The huge waves crashed on the reef, causing a loud noise. It was so powerful that it could kill people. Gano and Billy couldn't help feeling uneasy.

They had been on adventures before, but now they were in a much more difficult situation.

"The waves are so large!" Billy exclaimed. He was worried, and felt that it would be difficult for them to get in.

Gano turned to look at Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting to see what they would do.

"We're not afraid, but do you dare to take the risk with us? We can make sure that you won't die, but I can't promise that you won't be injured," Gu Ning said.

Actually, Gu Ning could protect them from being injured, but it would expose her secret, so she wouldn't do that.

"Of course we dare!" Gano immediately answered, not because of Gu Ning's words, but because he loved adventures.

"Yes!" Billy answered. He was still anxious, but at that moment, his courage got the better of him.

Gano and Billy had brought their own goggles and snorkel for diving, so now that they decided to go into the water, they took them out at once.

"Have you prepared goggles and a snorkel?" Gano asked. If Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning weren't prepared, they didn't know how they would share the equipment.

"We're good at swimming, so we don't need them," Gu Ning replied.

Hearing that, both Gano and Billy were surprised, but they didn't doubt Gu Ning's words. After all, they had witnessed Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting's abilities.

"We can have a rest for a while. We'll dive in about ten minutes," Gu Ning said. In fact, she and Leng Shaoting didn't need a rest, but Gano and Billy needed to.

Although they decided to go into the ocean and had summoned up their courage, they were still nervous, after all, it was an extremely dangerous decision.

Ten minutes later, they went into the sea.

When they had just dived into it, Billy was almost hit by a wave. Luckily, Leng Shaoting caught him.

Leng Shaoting was at the front, Gano and Billy were in the middle, while Gu Ning was at the back. They made that arrangement to prevent Gano and Billy from having any accidents.

Although they couldn't directly protect them with their magical energy, they could use their magical energy to weaken the power of the waves. Therefore, it was easier for Gano and Billy to swim.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting knew the location roughly, but they couldn't swim straight to the destination. They needed to pretend to search for it for a while.

Nevertheless, before long, they found the cave.

It wasn't strange to find a cave at the bottom of the ocean, so Gano and Billy weren't surprised. Afterwards, they swam into it.

By then they had stayed in the water for a long time. Both Gano and Billy were astonished by how good Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were at swimming. It was unbelievable that they could swim so long with one breath.

After swimming into the cave, they went forward for twenty meters toward its end.

Seeing the end, Gano and Billy thought it was over, but unexpectedly Leng Shaoting directly swam upwards where there was an exit.

Without delay, Gano and Billy floated up as well.

Once Leng Shaoting swam out, he took out his night-luminescent pearl.

Therefore, the cave was very bright when Gano and Billy tried to get out. When they saw another cave, they were surprised.

What surprised them more was the bright object in Leng Shaoting's hand. Gano asked, "Mr. Leng, what is that? It can give light, which is really amazing."

"This is a very rare jewel. It's called the night-luminescent pearl. It can shine in the dark," Leng Shaoting replied.

"Wow, that's incredible."

They were surprised and confused, but didn't ask about it further nor did they have the idea to steal it.

After Gu Ning was out too, they continued to walk ahead with Gu Ning using her Jade Eyes to see what was around them.

The second cave was very deep, so she didn't see anything yet.
