The group of them arrived at the entrance of the Rebirth Valley. They looked inside and saw that the weather in the valley was as misty as ever. Dark clouds and humid air greeted them. Murong Yao called the three people who had entered the valley together to discuss a few matters. Put on rubber shoes and tell them the correct way to walk with the cage. Hold the rubber handle. No one is allowed to touch the iron cage. The four iron chains must be in contact with the ground. The lightning is very dazzling and will cause people to lose their sight for a short period of time. Put on sunglasses. Don't be afraid of the lightning when it strikes the iron cage. Because the lightning can't hit people. When the lightning strikes, people's hair might stand up. This is the effect of the electric field. Don't panic. The lightning is over. The reason why he asked everyone to shave off their hair was because he was afraid that their hair would stand up and touch the iron cage. Murong Yao was the first to get into the cage, followed by Niu Zheng and Wei Guoning. Niu Guangyuan and the other two were waiting outside the valley.
Watching the three of them enter the Rebirth Valley one by one, Zhai Qicheng's heart was on tenterhooks again. They had already walked for nearly 300 meters. The people outside the valley could still see the three moving cages clearly. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck Murong Yao, who was walking at the front. The entire iron cage lit up with a dazzling white light. Murong Yao was wrapped in lightning. Then, there was a muffled thunder. Murong Yao's cage stopped moving. Zhai Qicheng's heart sank to the bottom. He was about to shout for the two people behind him to turn around and leave the valley. Unexpectedly, the cage in front of him was slowly moving forward again. Then, the cages behind him were also struck by lightning. They stopped for a moment before continuing to move forward. At this moment, Zhai Qicheng understood that human knowledge was not inferior to pure experience. Seeing the group of people gradually disappear from his sight, Zhai Qicheng heaved a long sigh of relief. He instructed Niu Guangyuan and the other two who were waiting outside the valley to inform him if there was any news, so he returned to the village.
The lightning that struck Murong Yao just now had given him a huge fright. The lightning struck the metal and made a series of crackling sounds. The thunder shook Murong Yao's eardrums until they buzzed. It took him a while to recover his hearing. Murong Yao was worried that the iron cage would fall apart. Fortunately, he was wearing sunglasses. After the lightning struck, he checked that everything was fine. Murong Yao shouted to the back and found something to plug his ears. Niu Zheng and Wei Guoning were also frightened just now. Seeing that Murong Yao was safe and sound, the two of them had their initial worries turned into nothing. Their confidence in exploring the valley doubled.
The electric charge carried by the cumulonimbus cloud was limited. Coupled with the fact that metal conducted electricity quickly, the energy was consumed very quickly. After a violent roar, the lightning and thunder gradually stopped. The three of them walked for a while more, and the dark clouds above their heads gradually disappeared. Murong Yao took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. The entire journey into the valley took about half an hour. The three of them stopped to rest for a while. There were no more clouds to disturb them. Everything seemed natural and quiet. Looking up at the sky, the sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the mountains were green. The initial confirmation that the danger had passed, and after moving forward for a while to ensure that there was no danger, the three of them came out of the iron cage. Murong Yao took out a compass and pointed to the east, saying, put the iron cage here, and we will head to the center of the valley. The terrain in the valley was similar to the mountains in the whole of Wannan. The surroundings were still steep cliffs. The three of them walked through the valley. According to the natural trend, the valley was winding. There were many forked valleys along the way. Sometimes, when they reached the bottom of the valley, they realized that there was no way out and turned back. Murong Yao made extra marks and numbers at each fork in case he got lost. Slowly, Murong Yao felt that something was wrong. Using the sun as a reference, the direction of his compass had a huge deviation. Sometimes it was south, sometimes it was north, and the biggest difference was 50 to 60 degrees. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Suddenly, Wei Guoning pointed at a cliff."Young Master, do you think that's the mark we made?”Murong Yao took a look. There was a triangular pattern drawn on the mountain wall, and there was a number written below it. This was the mark he had made before. According to the number below the pattern, he should have drawn it at 10:30 in the morning. The three of them sadly found that they had circled back.
The three of them were a little tired from walking. They stopped to drink some water and eat something to discuss their next route. If he went back, all his previous efforts would be wasted. At this moment, Murong Yao was also a little confused. He carefully recalled the dozens of forks he had passed and the direction of the valley along the way. He felt that the direction he had determined should not be wrong. Then the one who was wrong was the compass. There were many poor iron ores in southern Yunnan, and magnetite was symbiotic. There must be magnetite in this valley, and it was very scattered, causing the compass to deviate. If he did not use the compass, he could only rely on looking at the sun. Winter was very short. There were only a few hours left before the sky turned dark. The only way was to grit his teeth and look at the sun to determine the direction and continue walking.
Niu Zheng suggested,"Should we take a piss?"”In the folk saying of the Chinese Dynasty, if one encountered a ghost hitting a wall, they could break through the barrier by peeing. The problem now was not that the ghost hit the wall, but that they were really lost in broad daylight.
Having a suggestion was better than not having any. The three of them really found a place to clear their bladder. After identifying the direction, they changed their path and continued walking. After walking for more than an hour, they coincidentally met another person who had drawn a mark. Moreover, the number on the mark should have passed by this place at 11:30 in the morning. This time, everyone felt bad. For the rest of the day, he had been walking in circles in a small place. If he continued walking, not only would he not be able to find his way, but he might also have a problem getting back. The sun was already setting in the west. It would be dark in three hours.
Murong Yao had no choice but to stop and find a flat rock. His memory was very good. He drew the entire journey here, every fork, the repeated intersections, and the bay roads of the valley on the stone. He closed his eyes and repeated it again. He felt that there was no mistake. The entire map was messy. The two people beside him were confused and did not dare to make any suggestions. Murong Yao looked at the messy path and felt that it was very messy. However, when it came to walking back, he was still confident. Looking at these paths, Murong Yuan's vision was a little blurry. He shook his head, and a trace of clarity suddenly appeared in his mind. These paths seemed a little familiar. Where were they? She couldn't remember for a moment. She closed her eyes and opened them after a while. She looked at the map again and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes."Let's try again!"
Wei Guoning was a fan of Murong Yao. He would listen to whatever the young master said and do as he was told. Niu Zheng couldn't take it anymore." Third Brother, if we continue walking like this, we might not even be able to find our way back. The sky is about to turn dark. Let's think about how to get out!"”
" Big brother, listen to me one more time," Murong Yao said." If it doesn't work, we'll prepare to go back!"”
Niu Zheng shook his head helplessly. Once his third brother made up his mind, even eight horses couldn't pull him back. He was already thinking about where to spend the night.
Murong Yao stood up and looked at his surroundings. He pointed in a certain direction and said," Where are we going?" He then walked to a fork in the road. Murong Yao looked at both sides and said,"Guoning, go to the left and see if it's a dead end at the end!”Wei Guoning responded and left.
A moment later, Wei Guoning came back." Young Master, you're amazing. This is really a dead end."”
"Let's go right!" The group of people walked another three intersections. Every time, Murong Yao's judgment was correct!
At this moment, Murong Yao was no longer looking at the sun, nor did he know the direction. He was walking according to his own judgment.
Once or twice, Murong Yao got it right. It was nothing. A few times in a row, Murong Yao got it right. Niu Zheng started to suspect and was about to ask when something unexpected happened. A ferocious roar came from not far ahead. A fierce tiger suddenly jumped out from the corner of the rock in front.
"It's a tiger!" Wei Guoning exclaimed.
This time, it was different from the last time they encountered the wild boar. After all, the wild boar was charging from a very far place, so everyone was more or less prepared. However, this tiger was just a dozen steps ahead, so everyone was caught off guard. Niu Zheng pulled out his short knife in panic.
Although the South China Tiger was not as big as the Manchurian Tiger, it was not smaller than a wild boar. In addition, the tiger's teeth, claws, and tail were all weapons of attack. The tiger would arrive in a dozen steps.
Murong Yao was walking at the front, and he was the first to bear the brunt. He did not have the time to think about it, so he quickly threw out two marbles and quickly dodged to the side while shouting,"Niu Zheng, the tiger's eyes are blind, use your short knife to deal with it!”
Niu Zheng couldn't help but be afraid of the close combat. He raised his short knife and pounced at the tiger.
Murong Yao's two marbles accurately hit the tiger's eyes. The tiger didn't expect to become blind in an instant. It was eager for revenge and pounced at the spot where the few people were standing before it lost its sight. Niu Zheng rolled on the ground and landed under the tiger. He raised his dagger and stabbed the tiger. The tiger felt a chill in its stomach as it pounced forward. A sharp blade slashed from its heart to its anus.
The short knife in Niu Zheng's hand was the Japanese sword that Murong Yao had given him. It could even cut iron like mud, let alone the tiger's stomach. When the tiger fell to the ground, the ground was already filled with intestines and lungs. The tiger was already dead.
Even though he had used so much ink, it had only been a split second. By the time everyone regained their senses, the tiger had already turned into a dead tiger. Niu Zheng lay on the ground, maintaining his previous posture. He looked at the knife in his hand in disbelief."I'll kill the tiger now, okay?”
Niu Zheng came back to his senses. The first thing he did when he got up was to pry open the tiger's eyes. He saw two glass marbles deeply embedded in the tiger's eye sockets. Niu Zheng couldn't help but admire this godly hand."Third Bro, your hidden weapons are amazing!"
Murong Yao said casually,"You killed the tiger!" I'm just helping you from the side. Don't reject this credit!”
Among the three of them, Wei Guoning's kung fu was the worst, and he woke up the slowest. He said in disbelief,"We actually killed a tiger?"
"Didn't Uncle Zhai prepare some dry rations for us?" Murong Yao replied in a relaxed manner. There was still a lack of meat dishes for tonight.”
How should he deal with such a big thing? The three of them were troubled again.
Murong Yao was the most straightforward." We don't know how to peel off the tiger skin. We can just cut off a thigh and eat it tonight. When we come back, we will think of a way to take as much as we can. We will bring it to Uncle Zhai and the others. At least we won't go back empty-handed."”
Everyone thought about it, and that was the only way.
