Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's tone was very happy, because when they arrived at the grass, following the mark she left at that time, the two of them would soon find the cave full of sulfurous smell.

Thinking of this, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's heart was filled with joy.

"Well, then let's take a short break here and go look for it." Kitahara Araki saw the somewhat tired Kasumigaoka Shiwa, and suddenly said very distressed.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's eyes were full of brilliance, he couldn't see the tiredness just now, and he looked very happy: "No, Kitahara Araki-kun, don't need to rest for now, I can do it, hold on."

"Let's follow the mark I left on the tree last time and find the cave where I'm resting."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu tried hard to persuade Kitahara Araki, eager and expecting to find that cave.

Seeing that Xiazhiqiu Shiyu himself said so, Kitahara Araki nodded helplessly, and agreed: "Okay, then let's look for the mark you left behind along the surrounding trees."

"Yeah." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu nodded happily, and then followed the vague memory and approached the trees on one side.

The two searched for a while in the surrounding trees, trying to find the mark that Kasumigaoka Shiu had left here.

Soon, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu on the other side made a very happy voice, calling out to Kitahara Araki next to him: "Kitahara Araki-kun, come quickly, I found it."

After hearing Kasumigaoka Shiwa's shout on the other side, Kitahara Araki ran over very quickly.

When you came to a tall tree, Kasumigaoka Shiwa, you stood beside you, stroking a simple arrow symbol on the tree with your hand, with a very happy expression.

Seeing Kitahara Araki running over quickly, Kasumigaoka Shiyu showed a bright smile on his face, and said happily to Kitahara Araki who ran over: "Kitahara Araki-kun, look quickly, I found the mark."

"Yeah." Kitahara Araki nodded happily, and then said: "Kasumigaoka Shiwa-senpai, since we found the mark, let's quickly follow the direction of the mark to find the cave."

"After walking for so long, find the cave early, and let's take a good rest."

Seeing Kasumigaoka Shiyu's face with a trace of fatigue, Kitahara Araki felt very distressed, so he said very quickly.

"Ah."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu also nodded in understanding, and then the two walked in the direction above the mark and walked along the front.

Not long after, Kitahara Araki found the mark that Shiyu had left on a nearby tree.

So, under the guidance of the sign along the way, Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa successfully came to the cave whose entrance was covered by green vines.

Even though he hasn't entered yet, Kitahara Araki sensitively smelled an unpleasant smell of sulfur, which kept coming out of the cave, so he looked at Kasumigaoka Shiwa who was beside him with a happy face: "Sister Kasumigaoka Shiwa, what did you say?" Is that cave here?!"

"I seem to smell a heavy sulfur smell, and there are indeed fewer mosquitoes around than in many places, and I hardly see many."

Kitahara Araki turned his gaze to the surroundings, and found that there were almost no tiny mosquitoes around, and even if there were, they seldom approached directly, but lingered in the distance.

Seeing this scene, Kitahara Araki also showed a happy expression on his face.

You know, there are a lot of mosquitoes on the deserted island, and they bite people very cruelly. Once bitten, a big bump will form, which is very painful.

Moreover, the poisonous snake Lao Liu is everywhere, which is really hard to guard against.

With such a cave full of sulphur, these many small dangers can be avoided.

Chapter 155, Chapter 175

The entrance of the cave was covered by green vines, and in the very hidden cave, the dull air inside was filled with an unpleasant smell of sulfur.

Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa entered the dark cave one after the other, because it was already noon outside and the sky was very bright. There was a little light at the entrance of the dark cave, but the deeper you went, the darker it was inside.

Because there were no burning torches, Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa stopped in the middle of the cave entrance, and then looked at the deep dark cave inside.

"Xiazhiqiu Shiyu-senpai, have you ever been inside the cave?!" Kitahara Araki was very curious about what the innermost part of the dark cave looked like, so he asked Kasumigaoka Shiyu doubtfully beside him.

"Inside?!"

"I don't know too well. When I discovered this cave, I only rested outside for one night. The next day I went out to find food because of hunger. I didn't explore the cave carefully, so I don't know what is inside the cave. It looks like..."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu frowned beautifully, and tried hard to think about the memories of the previous two days from his mind, and then he remembered the memories almost, and then slowly followed Kitahara Araki to tell about his experience at that time.

"So that's how it is." Kitahara Araki nodded understandingly after hearing Kasumigaoka Shiwa's narration, and then continued to say to Kasumigaoka Shiwa: "Kasumigaoka Shiwa-senpai, let's go out first, the cave is too dark, and the sulfur smell is too strong. If the sulfur smell in the cave can prevent mosquitoes and poisonous snakes from invading, this cave is actually not our best choice."

After explaining his own understanding, Kitahara Araki led Kasumigaoka Shiwa, who seemed to understand, out of the cave together.

When we came outside, the sky was bright, the hot sun at noon poured wantonly outside, over the dense forest, but unfortunately it was blocked by the big trees with luxuriant branches, leaving a shady gap.

"It's cooler in the forest. On the beach, it always feels hot." Kitahara Araki fanned his cheeks with his hands, and then said to Kasumigaoka Shiwa very comfortably.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu felt the cool breeze blowing across her cheeks, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, in the forest, because of the dense branches and leaves blocking the sun, it looks much cooler than on the beach."

"Well, that's it." Kitahara Araki looked at the surrounding trees, thinking about what to do next.

Although this cave has an unpleasant sulfur smell, it is still very good in general. After all, the reason why mosquitoes and snake ants dare not come nearby is because of this unpleasant sulfur smell.

If there was no such breath of sulfur, those poisonous snakes would have already run into the cave.

After thinking for a while, Kitahara Araki finally knew what to do next.

"Kasumigaoka Shiba-senpai, next, let's start a fire nearby, and then move it to a dry cave so as not to cause a fire."

"After the fire is burning stably in the cave, we set off to find water sources nearby. Water sources are very important. If there is no water source near this cave full of sulfur, then we may need to give up this still It’s a nice place to live.”

"Of course, if the water source is found, there is no need to talk about these things."

"After finding the water source, the most important issue is survival, and there is the issue of food."

"Sister Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, do you have any other opinions? You can say it and give me some suggestions. After all, there are always some gaps in my own thinking." Kitahara Araki thought about the next action After planning, he told Kasumigaoka Shiwa next to him about the plan, and asked her opinion.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu looked around the surrounding trees. It was difficult to see the existence of water from the dense bushes. In addition, she was very tired after walking for so long, so she said persuasively: "North Plains Araki-kun, why don't we start after a short rest. After walking such a long distance, the body is really tired."

Seeing Kasumigaoka Shiyu's exhausted appearance, Kitahara Araki nodded distressedly: "Okay, Kasumigaoka Shiyu-senpai, then let's rest for a while before starting the fire."

"Forget it, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu-senpai, you go and rest in the cave, and I'll start the fire. Anyway, you just need to find some wood. As there are many dead branches and rotten leaves, it's not too troublesome." But after thinking about it , Kitahara Araki still said this to the very tired Kasumigaoka Shiwa.

Seeing Kitahara Araki's insistence, Kasumigaoka Shiwa, who originally wanted to hold on and continue to help, had no choice but to follow his advice, and obediently sat in the cave full of sulfur to rest.

"North Yuan Araki-kun, don't run too far, remember to come back early." Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was sitting obediently in the cave, shouted to Kitahara Araki who went out of the cave, his face was full of concern.

Kitahara Araki turned back and smiled at Kasumigaoka Shiwa, and said very gently: "Don't worry, Kasumigaoka Shiyu-senpai, I will take care of your safety, just sit inside and wait for me to come back."

"Well," Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu smiled and nodded quietly, sitting quietly in the cave, watching the figure of Kitahara Araki gradually going away, feeling full of security in his heart.

Kitahara Araki walked out of the cave, and the hot sunlight outside could not penetrate into the entrance of the cave surrounded by green vines, making him look a bit cool.

Kitahara Araki casually walked in one direction, and found some dead branches and leaves under many trees, so he walked back into the cave with a pile of dry charcoal.

In the cave, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was a little restless, looking straight at the direction of the cave entrance, and was always worried about the safety of Araki in the northern plains.

It wasn't until seeing Kitahara Araki returned safely that he immediately smiled happily and said loudly, "Kitaraki Araki-kun!"

"Well, Kasumigaoka Shiba-senpai, I'm back." Kitahara Araki carefully walked into the cave with a pile of wood in his arms.

On top of the firewood was a small pile of dead twigs, which were used to kindle the fire.

Kitahara Araki took advantage of his strong arm strength to drill wood to make a fire. A wisp of cooking smoke rose, a wisp of white smoke rose from the scorched pit on the surface of the wood, and a faint temperature came from it.

"Quick, Kasumigaoka Shiyu-senpai, carefully put some fluff in." Kitahara Araki urged Kasumigaoka Shiyu to take out the little white fluff that he deliberately put in his pocket and put it in the He kept digging into the pits on the surface of the wood in the way of drilling wood to make fire.

"Sigh~"

A little burnt smell came, and the originally white fluff quickly turned black, and there was a faint burnt smell in the air, which was very unpleasant.

Soon, as Kitahara Araki continued to rotate the stick, the ancient way of drilling wood to make fire finally bloomed a little light in the dark cave.

"Whoosh~"

A ray of reddish flame suddenly rose up.

"Hurry up, Kasumigaoka Shiyu-senpai, quickly bring those dead branches and rotten leaves, the flames will start to burn soon." Kitahara Araki, with a look of joy on his face, told Kasumigaoka Shiyu who was waiting next to him.

"Okay, Kitahara Araki-kun, I'll bring those things right now." Kasumigaoka Shiyu responded, and then quickly brought those dead branches and leaves, covering the firewood with some joy on her face. On that little flame.

Bright flames suddenly rose up, and the flames devoured the dead branches and leaves, as well as the wood placed below, and gradually burned.

In the dark cave, light once again ushered in.

Looking at the burning fire, Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa showed a look of joy and anticipation on their faces.

"It's amazing, Kitahara Araki-kun, I didn't expect you to really raise the fire by drilling wood!" Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said to Kitahara Araki with joy, his eyes full of appreciation and approval.

After hearing Kasumigaoka Shiyu's appreciation, Kitahara Araki stroked his hair a little embarrassedly, "Uh, it's actually okay. It's not as difficult as it says on the Internet, you just need to control the strength."

"Hahaha, Kitahara Araki-kun is being humble again." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu narrowed his eyes with a smile.

The two stayed in the cave to rest for a while, and Kitahara Araki added the wood he had found to the burning fire to ensure that it would not go out soon.

After that, Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa walked out of the cave hand in hand after resting.

"North Plains Araki-kun, where are we going to find the source of water?!" Kasumigaoka Shiyu showed a trace of doubt on his face, and asked North Plains Araki next to him.

Kitahara Araki looked at the surrounding environment. As the saying goes, water flows to low places, and the surrounding terrain is a mountainous forest area. There is no specific inclination of the terrain, but according to the saying that the more humid the more water, the Kitahara Araki I chose to go south.

Because the trees in the southern area are obviously more lush, and the soil is wet and rotten, it can be seen that it is often in a humid environment.

He told Kasumigaoka Shiwa his thoughts, and after receiving her affirmation and appreciation, Kitahara Araki happily walked ahead, leading Kasumigaoka Shiwa to search towards the south.

While walking, Kitahara Araki has not forgotten, while making marks on the trees, he simply found a sharp stone at random, cut a split mark on the bark, and pointed it obliquely forward, such a simple way to guide the direction The mark is ready.

By then, Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa won't get lost in this complex forest.

The forest is lush with foliage, and the thick branches and leaves block the hot sun, but the air in the forest is still dull and stuffy.

Especially walking on the uneven mountain roads is very exhausting. After walking for a long time, Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa were sweating profusely. They had to find a place to rest for a while before continuing on the road.

In the forest, I walked for more than half an hour, or an hour. In short, every one or two trees, Kitahara Araki and Kasumigaoka Shiwa would take turns to mark the trees so as not to get lost at that time up.

"Sister Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, it seems that there should be a river here, but it is too far away from us, and it takes more than an hour to walk. Let's go back along the original road and look in other directions." On the big rock, Kitahara Araki sat on it with both legs, his face was very tired, and he persuaded Kasumigaoka Shiyu next to him.

"Well, that's what you said. After walking for such a long time, I could vaguely hear the sound of water flowing from a distance. It is not suitable as a place to fetch water. It seems that we still need to find other water sources." Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded in understanding, and agreed with Kitahara Araki's words very much.

After the two made up their minds, they rested on the big rock for a long time, and then began to make marks along the original route and return all the way.

The rugged mountain road was very difficult, and the two walked for a long time, about half an hour, before finally returning to the cave full of sulfur.

At this moment, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was already terribly tired, his delicate face was full of fatigue, and his whole body was gray.

"Xiazhiqiu Shiyu-senpai, why don't you take a rest in the cave?! I can go around to find water sources alone. After all, the girl's physical strength is not strong enough, and she has walked a lot today, and the weather is still so hot. Go into the cave and take a rest." Kitahara Araki saw that Kasumigaoka Shiyu was so tired, and immediately, he was very concerned about persuading him, he didn't want Kasumigaoka Shiyu to be so exhausted, and it would be troublesome.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu really wants to take a break, because she really can't hold on anymore. She has been walking since morning. Although she rested a few times in the middle, the fatigue of her body is not so easy to eliminate. I saw her He nodded slightly, and said in a weak tone: "Okay, Kitahara Araki-kun, I'm really tired, so I'll go in and have a rest first."

"You remember to be safe when you go out to find water, and be careful of poisonous snakes and wild animals in the forest."

"Well, I see, Kasumigaoka Shiwa-senpai, don't worry, I will return safely." Kitahara Araki said with a smile.

Seeing Kasumigaoka Shiyu walking slowly into the cave, and then resting on the ground of the cave, Kitahara Araki walked around the cave in peace.

Going farther and farther, it didn't take long for Kitahara Araki to find a small pool not far from the cave. There were a few small fish in it, and a few domineering little crabs on the shore.

After seeing this scene, Kitahara Araki felt very pleasantly surprised in his heart, and immediately ran over happily, holding the mountain spring water with both hands, and drank it in big gulps.

"belch!"

Hiccupping slightly, Kitahara Araki savored the sweet mountain spring water and found nothing uncomfortable, so he stood up very satisfied.

Looking around, he wanted to find something that stored water and take it back, so as to bring back some sweet mountain spring water to Kasumi Hill Shiyu in the cave.

156 Chapter 176, water and food

On an unknown desert island.

Time: afternoon.

The scorching sun radiated light and heat, shining on the deserted island, baking the earth into a furnace, and the air curled up slightly.

The sky was cloudless, leaving only the burning fireball high in the sky, emitting light.

In the dense forest, because of the cover of the luxuriant leaves, it casts a large shade of shade, which is much cooler than the hot and dry air outside.

Not more than 200 meters away from the sulfurous acidity, Kitahara Araki squatted in front of a clear mountain spring pool, holding a large rolled up green leaf in his hand, which was constantly filled with mountain spring water.

"Well, there are so many, it should be enough for Xiazhiqiu Shiyu to quench his thirst. If it is not enough, it is almost enough to come here." Looking at the huge curly leaves filled in his hands, Kitahara Araki looked at the clear mountain spring water inside, satisfied A little bit.

Because there were no suitable water-holding items around, Kitahara Araki could only find a larger leaf and pick it off after some thinking to make a simple water-holding tool.

"I hope I won't spread too much." Looking back at the rugged mountain road, Kitahara Araki showed a helpless wry smile on his face.

Even though he thought so, Kitahara Araki still walked on the road very carefully, trying to protect the water-filled leaves as much as possible on the way back, so as not to let the water pour out.

It took a little more effort than when he came here, Kitahara Araki carefully returned to the cave with leaves filled with mountain spring water.

Because it was difficult to pass through the entrance of the cave covered by green vines, Kitahara Araki held the leaves filled with mountain spring water in both hands, and shouted loudly at the entrance of the cave: "Xiazhiqiu Shiyu-senpai, come out quickly."

"Well, I see, Kitahara Araki-kun." Kasumigaoka Shiwa, who was resting on the flat ground of the cave, immediately stood up happily after hearing the call from outside, and replied with a smile on her face.

After a while, under Kitahara Araki's expectant eyes, Kasumigaoka Shiwa in simple clothes eagerly came out of the cave.
