Looking at the dark hole, Lu Xiao fell to the ground in shock. The hand-held camera he was holding in his hand fell out.
The fall was not light. The red fox was directly thrown out, and the white fox that bit Lu Xiao's ear was also almost thrown away. It used its little claws to hang on Lu Xiao's clothes.
"Hu…Hu…"
Although he looked very calm, his violent breathing revealed the turmoil in Lu Xiao's heart.
He had not been back for several years. How could he have forgotten such a basic thing?!
Lu Xiao was still afraid, but he was also upset that he was acting like a newcomer.
The weather was getting warmer, and spring was about to begin. It was the season when the ice and snow melted, but it was still noon, when the temperature was relatively high.
The higher the layer of snow, the easier it was to melt.
The melted snow would freeze into a thin layer of new ice when it flowed down. It looked harmless, but if one stepped on it, it would be a bottomless hole.
On the way up, every time he stepped out, he would use his trekking pole to test the road ahead. He would only step on it after making sure it was solid.
However, he had just climbed to the top of the mountain. He was tired and happy. He was in a hurry to share the scenery with the students and forgot about this matter for a moment.
This is so annoying…
Lu Xiao let out a long breath, moved his body gently, and looked into the dark hole.
Following the light, they could still see the bottom, but the height was estimated to be several meters with the naked eye.
If he fell down without any warning, his legs would most likely suffer heavy injuries.
Fortunately, there were these two little fellows…
It was only then that Lu Xiao remembered the two little foxes who had been frantically standing up to warn him. He felt a sharp pain in his ears.
Professor Lu, Professor Lu, are you okay? What happened?
Can you tell me if you're alright? This was so scary. Why did the camera suddenly disappear?
Seeing that there was no movement from Lu Xiao's side for a long time, the students were also anxious and asked one after another.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Don't worry.”
Lu Xiao got up with some difficulty and went to pick up the hand-held camera. As he wiped the lens, he said,
"There was a small accident, but it's not a big deal.”
Lu Xiao pointed the cleaned lens at the hole that had just cracked and continued,"
"This season and time is the time when the melting ice layer is most likely to crack.
If they wanted to walk on the snowy mountain at this time, they had to use mountaineering or pathfinding sticks to make sure that the ice or land in front of them was solid enough before they could step on it.
Otherwise, it would be like this. If he accidentally fell, he would be injured or even lose his life. It was not a joke.
I was careless just now. I was too focused on taking pictures of you guys and didn't pay attention to the situation below my feet.
Fortunately, these two little foxes warned me. Otherwise, I might have been talking to you under that big hole now.”
Lu Xiao said these words lightly, but the students listening and the audience watching the broadcast were shocked.
Oh my god, he almost lost his life, yet he still said it so calmly?？
It could only be said that the people who walked in this kind of place had extremely strong mental fortitude.
"This little fellow bites quite ruthlessly…"
Lu Xiao took off his glove and reached out to touch the ear that had just been bitten. As expected, he touched a small handful of sticky blood that was about to solidify.
"But it's good to bite harder. Compared to breaking bones or losing your life, this bite is nothing.”
Lu Xiao turned to look at the little white fox hanging on his shoulder.
It was the one who had bitten him in a moment of desperation just now. Now, perhaps it was afraid of being scolded or something else, it just hung behind his shoulder and did not move.
Seeing that he was looking at it, he stole a glance at it.
"Come on up. I still have to thank you.”
Lu Xiao smiled and reached out to pull the little white fox up. At the same time, he pulled the little red fox that had just been thrown to the side back into his arms.
Seeing that Lu Xiao really did not seem to have any intention of blaming them, the two little foxes mustered up their courage and moved to Lu Xiao's ear, carefully licking the blood near the wound.
Not long after, the area around the wound that was originally dirty from Lu Xiao's wiping was licked clean.
Professor Lu, didn't they say that wild foxes carried a lot of bacteria? Was it okay to let them lick the wound after being bitten by it?
Seeing that Lu Xiao allowed the two little fellows to lick his wounds, a student asked worriedly.
"For people like me who often have to go on field trips and rescue animals, it's common for me to be bitten by wild animals. I'll get a vaccine regularly every year, so there's no need to worry about it.”
Lu Xiao stood up and patted the snow off his body as he smiled."
"Moreover, these two little idiots have only been born not long ago and have not come into contact with too many things. Compared to those adult foxes, they are considered very clean.
However, he had wasted a lot of time and had to hurry down the mountain.
After going down the mountain, they still had to walk a long way to reach the edge of the treasure bowl. They had to hurry.”
Lu Xiao glanced at the big hole and said.
Compared to going up the mountain, the side of the mountain that went down the mountain was relatively flat. Other than being wary of the ice cave, it was much more energy-saving to walk than going up the mountain.
On the way to the treasure basin, he could clearly feel the temperature rising. The ice and snow gradually melted, and the originally barren land began to have a green color.
This was a rather novel experience for everyone.
Finally, as the sun began to set in the west, the distant "beautiful jade" was finally in front of them.
The lush green color dyed the entire place as far as the eye could see. It looked extremely comfortable.
"We'll reach the place in about half an hour.”
Breathing in the fresh air that was both strange and familiar, Lu Xiao's tone became excited.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, a student could not help but ask,
Professor Lu, it's almost night time. Are you going to sleep in the wild tonight?
"How is that possible? Didn't I say that we're almost there? Here, look."
He turned on the wide-angle mode of the hand-held camera and adjusted the angle. Lu Xiao smiled and said,"
"See that tree? Let's sleep on the tree tonight."
On a tree?
Everyone took a closer look and gasped.
Good heavens, that lush green was actually…a tree?？
They thought it was a forest!
