Dian Province was located at the southwest border of the country.
The terrain was high in the northwest and low in the southeast, descending step by step from north to south.
Most of them were mountainous and plateau terrain, spanning the Yangtze River, Pearl River, Yuanjiang River, Lancang River, Nujiang River, and Dayingjiang River.
The place Su Ming and his group wanted to go to was surrounded by a tributary of the Lancang River, and it was called Dragon Covering Mountain.
They traveled south from Xiangxi, crossing mountains and rivers, crossing Guizhou Province, and gradually entering Dian Province.
Su Ming's group was strong, about five to six thousand strong. They were all dressed in mixed clothes and carried guns and cannons. Even the bandits were afraid when they saw them.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
Chen Yulou himself was the leader of the world's greatest bandits.
Along the way, bandits from all over the place came forward to pay their respects, allowing Chen Yulou and the others to gradually regain some of the face they had lost from Su Ming.
After entering Dian Province, the mountains were high and the forests were dense, and the ethnic minorities were reflected in everyone's eyes.
At the beginning of ancient times.
The world was divided into the descendants of the gods of Huaxia who ruled the great river basin and the barbarians from all directions.
North Di, Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman.
Among them, the Jiuli Clan was the overlord of the Dongyi Group. Chiyou refined the metal weapons and led countless evil gods to challenge the position of the Chinese god descendants.
After that, Zhulu was defeated!
The Dongyi Group was destroyed, and the Jiuli bloodline was scattered.
A portion of them merged with the Yellow Emperor tribe, making the eldest son of the emperor, Shaohao Qing, the "Sima Niaoshi", manage the entire Dongyi group.
When Zhuanxu assisted Shaohao, Jiuli rebelled.
Zhuanxu sent Fire God Zhu Rong to suppress it.
Later on, Shaohao died, and Zhuanxu and Gong Gong fought for the throne. Zhuanxu defeated Gong Gong and became the 'Gao Yang', ascending to the throne and connecting the heaven and earth!
Fire God Xia Guan Zhu Rong was sent by Zhuanxu to the Miao Nation to lead a portion of the Jiuli Family to the south and become the Lord of the Southern Barbarians.
This part of the Jiuli Clan merged with the Nanman Clan and gradually became the "Miao Man lineage" of the Huaxia Group. It was separated from the Dongyi Group.
A distant legend had been buried in history.
Today, when Su Ming and his group entered Dian, they had indeed seen quite a number of Miao people. Their clothes were very different from the Miao people in Xiangxi. They were divided into flower seedlings, black seedlings, and green seedlings.
Hua Miao was good at embroidery, jumping flowers, and weaving.
Qing Miao was proficient in the nature of herbs and insects.
The Hei Miao were good at raising insects and using poison. They were quite similar to the Sheng Miao of the Miao people in Xiangxi. They should be the branch of the Miao people that was closest to the Miao people of Jiuli.
These three descendants were enemies and didn't co-exist.
Along the way, Su Ming saw quite a number of Miao and Hua Miao. All of them were warm and hospitable. When they saw Su Ming and his group dressed up as Miao people, they could not help but chat with each other.
Some of the Hua Miao and Qing Miao girls also looked at the 800 warriors in the Miao team with hot eyes and couldn't help but secretly make eyes at them.
When he saw this, Su Ming's eyes turned dark as he fell into deep thought.
As the High Priest of the Miao tribe in Xiangxi, he took it upon himself to restore the glory of Jiuli. He wanted to unite the scattered Jiuli bloodline in the world and respect him.
Naturally, he could not let Miao Man go.
After all, the Jiuli bloodline flowed in his body.
Very quickly.
Su Ming sent people to get in touch with the Hua Miao and Qing Miao people and asked them about the geographical locations of the villages. He also sent them a lot of food, salt, oceans, and other treasures, causing the Hua Miao and Qing Miao people to be pleasantly surprised. They could not help but feel grateful towards the Miao people from Xiangxi.
At this time, the world was in chaos and the people were poor.
No matter which ethnic group they were from, their lives were not good. Now, a group of Xiangxi Miao people had come and actually claimed to be the "Jiuli" to express their goodwill. Who could refuse?
Soon, under Su Ming's benevolent act, the Hua Miao and Qing Miao tribes started to acknowledge Su Ming's status as the High Priest of the Miao tribe.
His expression and tone were filled with gratitude and respect.
Just like that, as they continued to 'help the poor' along the way, Su Ming and his group gradually arrived at a tributary of the Lancang River called the Snake River.
This Snake River was known as the " Shepaizi River " by the locals. It was a tributary of the Lancang River, and the snow on the top of Shrouding Dragon Mountain melted into it. The temperature was cold, and it curled around the foot of Shrouding Dragon Mountain.
This place was close to the Bai people's gathering area. Most of the people worshipped white as beauty, and a small number of the Hani, Yi, Dai, Lisu, and Jingpo people were mixed in.
There was a Bai clan at the foot of Dragon Covering Mountain. The arrival of Su Ming and his group soon attracted the Bai clan's attention.
However, Su Ming's group had a valiant presence, and they had the advantage in numbers. They even carried long spears and short cannons. The people in the Bai stockade all had respectful expressions on their faces.
Insect Valley was behind Covering Dragon Mountain.
It was hot and humid there, where mosquitoes bred, poisonous insects, and miasma lingered all year round.
There were only two ways to get there.
One was to cross the snow line of the Hidden Dragon Mountain.
The other way was to follow the Snake River and bypass the Shroud Dragon Mountain, passing through a dense primitive forest between the Lancang River and the Nu River.
However, Su Ming knew that there was actually a third path, and that was to pass through a Dissolving Cave at the foot of Dragon Covering Mountain and enter Insect Valley.
They set up camp in the Bai village.
Su Ming and his group had a valiant presence as they tasted the famous Golden Thread Mist Top Tea and asked about the location of the Dissolution Cave.
The Bai Clan Leader's face was filled with wrinkles, and he was filled with deep hatred.
He looked at Su Ming and the others and tried to persuade them in a rich dialect,"That cave has a terrifying insect. We can't subdue it, and if we do, we won't be able to return.”
Francolin Whistle was proficient in local dialect. He was acting as a translator, explaining the legend of the karst cave. He said that there was a terrifying worm in the water of the karst cave that could burrow into the human body and hatch larvae. In just a few seconds, it could devour the flesh and blood.
Only a thin layer of human skin was left, and his death was extremely miserable.
Those who entered the cave by mistake did not return. In fact, that area was a forbidden area for the Bai clan. No one dared to go there.
Insect?
Su Ming's eyes sparkled as he remembered a certain familiar bug.
Water Pig Bee!
This was a type of shallow-water insect that existed in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the Jinsha River system, and the Tibetan Plateau.
Even in the hinterland of Xiangxi, there were such creatures.
However…
That Yun Nan Xian King was skilled in the "Bi technique", using resentful souls as bait, the water boar bees he raised were definitely not ordinary Gu worms.
When he mentioned the term 'venomous insect,' not only did Su Ming and the Gu Masters from Miao Jiang not show any fear, they even showed contempt.
Playing with Gu worms in front of Miao Jiang's Gu masters?
It really paled in comparison!
Soon, he finished the time it took to brew a cup of tea. Su Ming asked the Bai tribe leader to choose a guide to lead Su Ming and his group to the strange karst cave.
As the saying went, a horse would die if it ran away.
The distance that the Bai guide said was not far away actually took them about two hours before they saw the strange Dissolution Cave.
In front of a mountain wall of the Danxia Landform, there was a pitch-black hole that was about ten feet wide. It was exposed to everyone with a hint of cold air.
A ray of sunlight shone in from outside the cave, reflecting the verdant pond water. It should be the water in the cave that was connected to an underground river.
There were no fish or prawns in the water, but there were water snakes and pythons swimming around.
In the next second.
Su Ming ordered the Bai guide to return.
Immediately, he ordered the eight hundred Miao warriors and the thousands of bandits from Chenyu Tower to cut down trees and set up camp outside the Dissolution Cave.
