The car drove for a few more hours before reaching the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there were no villages.
There was only one inn that provided accommodation for the tea peddlers. It was called the Rainbow Cloud Inn.
At this moment, there were no tea peddlers living in the inn, so it seemed a little empty.
The Lady Boss and Caiyun were both present.
Caiyun's appearance was not much different from what he had imagined. She was small and exquisite, and her skin was very white.
She was a very simple and cute little girl.
When she saw Lu Chen and the others coming over, the lady boss also welcomed them warmly.
Being hospitable was their way of treating guests.
Of course, with so many people, there were all kinds of supplies, food, accommodation, and so on.
He still had to pay.
No matter how hospitable he was, he still had to live, right?
In the past, the guests that Caiyun Inn received were basically tea sellers from all over the world.
Very few guests from other places came to the foot of the mountain.
Professor Jin and the others had a conversation with the lady boss. At the same time, Peacock, who was curious about new things, also had a shy smile on her face.
With her hands behind her back, she twisted her body slightly and came in front of Lu Chen.
"Brother Lu Chen, are you planning to head to Dragon Covering Mountain?”
Among the group, the handsome Lu Chen had obviously gained Peacock's favor.
This young girl who had just woken up to love did not have much resistance to handsome men.
In addition, Lu Chen was very polite along the way.
This made the Bai clan girl, who was naturally 'romantic' to begin with, unable to help but feel happy.
He took the initiative to communicate with Lu Chen.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were extremely envious.
"Look, what a beautiful girl. Why don't you think she wants to chat with us?”
" We look more mature and steady."
Fatty Wang, who was biting the root of the tea leaf, muttered.
In the end, he shook his head and chatted with the others. Out of sight, out of heart.
Lu Chen was also very patient when facing this cute Bai lady.
"We plan to go over the mountain to catch butterflies at the legendary Insect Valley.”
The peacock's delicate face was shocked when she heard that.
"You want to cross over Dragon Covering Mountain?"
"This Shrouding Dragon Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles. Even us locals have never been to the place behind the mountain.”
"If we want to cross it, we'll have to walk for at least two months.”
The peacock's voice was not loud, but everyone in the room heard it.
"Two months of mountain travel?" Professor Jin raised his eyebrows.”
"This…"
Professor Jin looked at Lu Chen in confusion.
The route that Lu Chen and his father took previously was the route that crossed the mountain.
They had to walk for two months! Could it be that they were going to take the mountain road this time?
They probably didn't have enough rations for two months.
Not only Professor Jin, but the Iron Triangle also focused their attention on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen smiled and met Professor Jin's gaze.
"Professor, when I was young, I followed my father's path and indeed went past the mountain.”
" We went through a lot to reach Insect Valley.”
" But after we reached Insect Valley, we found a shortcut to the back of the mountain.”
" Because there is water flowing through the mountain to Insect Valley, this means that there must be a river that leads to Insect Valley.”
"All we need to do is find the river that runs through the mountain.”
Lu Chen said. Then, he looked at the peacock beside him.
The peacock girl understood and blurted out without hesitation.
"The river that runs through Mount Covering Dragon…Could it be that haunted tunnel?"
" A haunted tunnel?!"
Everyone cried out in alarm when they heard Peacock's words.
The peacock nodded like a chick pecking at rice.""Yes!"
"At the bottom of Dragon Shroud Mountain, there are many caves.”
"There is a very large tunnel from the south to the north. It is said that it was a tunnel dug by bandits in order to escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers.”
"The environment inside is complicated. It's easy for unfamiliar people to fall into an ambush or get lost.”
"In the end, the soldiers used stones to block the surrounding karst caves and then smoked the largest tunnel entrance.”
"After the smoke was finished, they used rocks to block the tunnel. The bandits inside were all sealed alive.”
"It is said that in the past few hundred years, the cries of vengeful souls have always been heard in the mountains.”
Peacock told a series of stories.
Everyone felt their hair stand on end when they heard this. Fatty Wang said,"Little sister Peacock, you even have a vengeful spirit?”
"It seems like this Dragon Covering Mountain is haunted? Did you hear this ghostly sound?"
Peacock shook her head." That's what they said. I've lived here for so many years, but I've never heard anything."”
"But a few years ago, there was a flood. When many local people were picking tea leaves at the foot of the mountain, they found that a hole had been washed out by the flood.”
"This cave also runs from north to south. Judging from the direction of the water flow, it should lead to the interior of the mountain.”
"The underground water in the cave is quite deep. After taking a few steps into the cave, you can see many strange skeletons.”
"These corpses, are they the corpses of the bandits?"”
Peacock shook his head." I don't know. Some of these skeletons look like humans, but there are also many creatures I've never seen before."”
"Terrifying ~!"
"In the beginning, there were quite a number of curious people who went in to take a look, but in the end, after seeing the bones, no one dared to go in anymore.”
"They were afraid that if they disturbed the ghosts of the bandits, they would be harmed.”
