"All dead?" Hu Payi's voice came from behind.
Old Hu had also finished his meal and was now coming out with a pair of binoculars. He also wanted to take a closer look at the terrain of the mountain.
The peacock maiden nodded.
"All of us who have been on Shadowdragon Mountain are dead. It was said that there were man-eating ghosts on the mountain, but no one dared to go up the mountain now.”
Then, Xu Lang pulled the peacock chick back to the inn and called Fatty Wang and Staff Officer Yang over.
According to what the Lady Boss and Peacock said, there was a lot of ghosts on the mountain. No one dared to go up, and no one knew the way.
Those who had gone up to Mount Covering Dragon had either died of old age or died in an accident. Not a single one was left.
It was basically impossible to cross the mountain.
Hu Payi, Xue Li Yang, and Fatty Wang all frowned after hearing this.
Before they came to Yunnan, they had carefully studied Blind Chen's human skin map.
? According to the markings on the human skin map, there were only two ways to enter Insect Valley.
One was to go along a river called Snake River, going around Dragon Shroud Mountain.
The biggest problem with this road was that it was too far and not easy to walk.
As the saying goes, a horse that looks at the mountain will run to its death.
Covering Dragon Mountain wasn't a small hill. One round would take at least one to two hundred kilometers.
In addition, this area was filled with deep mountains, canyons, and primitive forests.
It would take at least one to two months to get around it.
This route was definitely not feasible. Just the supplies along the way were not something that a small team of four could afford.
Originally, Hu Payi and the others had chosen to cross over the 4000 meter tall Shadowdragon Mountain.
? On the human skin map, there was an air vent on the mountain. As long as he passed through it, he would be able to reach Insect Valley.
Now, it seemed that there was no way to cross the mountain.
Without a guide, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for a few people to cross the mountains from the tropical jungle to the snowy mountains.
It wasn't a big problem whether it was haunted or not.
Hu Payi and Xue Li Yang frowned.
Fatty Wang saw that Xu Lang didn't look anxious at all. His heart skipped a beat and he leaned over.
"Master Lang, tell me, is there any other way?”
Xu Lang grinned.
"Hmm, let me think. We'll have to rely on Sister Peacock for this."
After Xu Lang finished speaking, everyone's eyes focused on the peacock chick.
The peacock maiden was slightly stunned.
Xu Lang immediately handed over a piece of chocolate that had been unwrapped.
"Peacock, think carefully. Are there any other shortcuts?”
The peacock, who had received Xu Lang's feed, took small bites of the chocolate, and its eyes lit up.
"Right, there really is a shortcut. You can take the tunnel."
"Tunnel?" Hu Payi and Xue Liyang asked curiously.
Peacock blinked his big eyes and nodded." Yes, there is a tunnel under the mountain. There is a water path inside the tunnel, and you can put bamboo rafts through the mountain.”
Huba immediately laughed out loud when he heard that.
"That's great. If we use the waterway, we won't have to worry about getting lost. Moreover, we don't have to cross the mountain, which can save a lot of time.”
Xue Li Yang nodded.
If they used the bamboo raft to travel by water, they would not even need to carry their equipment. It was much more time-saving and energy-saving than climbing mountains and jungles.
As Peacock ate, her face scrunched up again." But there are a lot of dead people in the tunnel. I heard it's haunted.”
"Yes, yes, there's no hurry. Tell me everything you know about the tunnel.”Xu Lang said patiently.
Peacock nodded.
It turned out that at the bottom of Dragon Shroud Mountain, there were many tunnels that looked like a spider web.
It was probably because there were already karst caves there, and then the ancestors of an unknown era dug them up again, opening up these karst caves and turning them into tunnels.
Later, some local bandits rebelled and occupied the tunnel under the mountain.
The soldiers couldn't do anything to the bandits in the tunnel.
The tunnels and karst caves at the foot of the mountain were too complicated. If someone unfamiliar entered, they might be trapped inside, let alone exterminate the bandits.
In the end, the soldiers came up with a plan to seal off all the entrances and exits of these tunnels with stones.
It was said that all the people inside were trapped to death.
The locals said that hundreds of years later, the despairing cries of the vengeful souls could still be heard on the rocks outside the tunnel.
Originally, the tunnel was blocked and there was no way to pass through. Who knew that in recent years, there would be people mining stones here to sell for money.
These people realized that a flood had appeared at some point in time, and another hole had appeared.
The river water flowed into the hole, forming an underground river.
The underground river flowed through the mountain and flowed into the Snake River on the other side of the mountain.
The underground river was quite deep, and they could walk on bamboo rafts.
Moreover, because there was a waterway, as long as they followed the underground river, they did not have to worry about getting lost in the cave tunnel.
There was only one thing.
On both sides of this underground river cave, there were many oddly-shaped skeletons.
There were many of these skeletons, and they all died in different ways.
No one knew who, when, or how they died here.
The underground cave was pitch black, and there were dead bones on both sides from time to time. Those who were timid went in and were scared out of their wits.
On the other side of the mountain was a valley and jungle. There was no one there, and the miasma was heavy.
Therefore, other than those who went there out of curiosity at first, no one else left.
"That's great. We're not afraid of corpses or ghosts. We'll go and take a look tomorrow.”Hu Payi said excitedly.
