"The Golden Silkworm Gu has been upgraded to level two."
"The host has obtained a new skill-Controlling Insects.”
After hearing the system notification, Xu Lang was delighted.
Controlling insects was different from the intimidating insects that came with the Golden Silkworm Gu.
To put it simply, Xu Lang could only keep the bugs away from him before.
But now that he had the insect control skill, he could control the insects to do what he wanted.
The first one was considered a passive skill, an aura type.
Insect Control was considered an active skill, and Xu Lang could use it on his own.
While Xu Lang was studying his skills, he heard Hu Bayi's shout from the car,"
"Let's go, Xu Lang."
Xu Lang took a look and realized that the driver had already checked the car. There were no problems and they were ready to leave.
After getting into the car, it became even more lively.
Because of what had happened just now, the passengers who were unfamiliar with him began to discuss.
Soon, the words of a tea seller sitting next to Fatty Wang caught Xu Lang's attention.
"There are many stone figurines in this mountain. I've seen them before when I was collecting tea leaves.”
Old Hu asked curiously," What are those stone figurines? Why are there bugs inside?"
The tea seller said," I heard from the locals that these stone figurines are all human-shaped coffins. Sometimes, they will be washed down by landslides. If they break, there will be fat maggots inside.”
"Humanoid coffin? I wonder if there are any funerary objects…Are there any good things in the coffin?”Fatty Wang had also recovered by now. When he heard the word coffin, his eyes immediately lit up.
"There's nothing good. When the local villagers encountered these things, they would hide far away. They said that it was unlucky and would make people sick.”
As the tea seller spoke, he muttered about where he should go to get a safety talisman.
After muttering a few words, the tea seller asked them where they were going.
Xu Lang smiled." We are teachers and students of the Agricultural University. We plan to catch butterflies and insects near the Snake River on Mount Shroud Dragon for research.”
"Oh right, brother, do you know how to get to Mount Covering Dragon?”
? Although Xu Lang knew the general direction of Insect Valley, he still had to ask around for the exact route.
When the tea seller heard that Xu Lang and the others were teachers and students of the university, he was instantly filled with respect.
"Aiya, you're amazing. So you're a scholar. We're not far from Dragon Covering Mountain. We'll arrive after we cross the mountain bend. I'm also going there to collect tea leaves, so you guys can get off the car with me.”
Hu Payi, Xue Li, and Fatty Yang were all listening at the side.
When they heard that Xu Lang managed to fool the tea seller with just a few words and even took the initiative to point the way, they could not help but give Xu Lang a thumbs up.
The driver was obviously less courageous for the rest of the journey and drove slower.
About an hour later, the car stopped.
The tea seller called Xu Lang and the others to get out of the car quickly.
"If you want to go to Dragon Shroud Mountain, this road is the closest.”
The tea seller was quite enthusiastic. He pointed at a small fork in the road ahead.
Other than the tea seller and Xu Lang, there were three other people who got off the car.
One of them was a local woman in her thirties with a baby in her basket.
The other one was a young girl around 16 or 17 years old.
The two of them were dressed in the local ethnic costumes. Although they were all in daily styles, they could still feel the elegance of the local women.
Hu Payi and Fatty Wang didn't want to travel with these people.
The two of them were cautious. In addition, the gold-looting lieutenant was not too exposed after all, so he was a little worried.
But Xu Lang said that it didn't matter.
"Who knows how far we have to walk from here to Shroud Dragon Mountain. It's safer to follow the locals and we won't get lost.”
Xue Li Yang also supported Xu Lang.
Fatty Wang was very convinced by Xu Lang now, so he naturally had no objections.
The few of them soon got on the road together.
Along the way, there were high mountains and deep valleys.
Although there was a small path that looked like a sheep's intestines, they would sometimes hide in the grass.
There were even forks in some places.
Fortunately, he was traveling with the locals. Otherwise, he might have gotten lost.
After walking for more than two hours, the group finally arrived at the foot of Dragon Covering Mountain in the afternoon.
Xu Lang and the others helped the two local women carry a lot of things along the way.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Hu Payi and the others discovered that these two local women were the owners of the only inn at the foot of the mountain, the " Rainbow Cloud Inn."
Xu Lang and his group stayed in the Rainbow Cloud Inn for the night.
Hu Payi and the others chatted with the lady boss.
Soon, he found out that the Lady Boss was a widow and her husband had died in the southern border.
The little girl was the lady boss's sister-in-law. She was Han Chinese and her name was Peacock.
Xu Lang didn't say much. He only listened until the plot in his memory matched up. Only then did he relax.
Because they had helped the lady boss move many things along the way, the lady boss and Peacock were very enthusiastic.
He boiled tea and cooked bacon rice.
Xu Lang and the others could finally take a good rest and relieve the fatigue of the journey.
After finishing the fragrant bacon rice, Xu Lang drank the tea brought by Peacock and walked out of the inn.
Outside the inn, one could clearly see the true appearance of Covering Dragon Mountain.
A towering mountain.
There was still snow on the top of the mountain.
There was a layer of white muscle-like clouds on the mountainside.
Further down was the dense jungle.
At this time, Peacock curiously came over.
"Brother Xu Lang, are you guys going to climb Dragon Covering Mountain?”
Xu Lang smiled." That's right. We plan to go over the mountain to catch butterflies and insects.”
The peacock shook its head like a rattle-drum.
"Don't go, everyone who went up this mountain is dead! There's a ghost on Dragon Covering Mountain!"
