Chapter 169 Homecoming
"At that time, Miss Yan and I fell into the trap by mistake and fell into the underground river. We finally swam to the shore and started walking along the downstream. After passing through the stone chamber passage, we came to the giant pit altar. At first we didn't
Nothing was found, but later when I was searching for the exit, I accidentally discovered that there was a body of a person lying in the huge pit. It looked like he had just died."
"I was very unfamiliar with the deceased, but Miss Yan recognized the deceased immediately, saying that it was Master Guo who had guided the brothers and sisters to find the earth dragon marrow. Miss Yan was anxious and stepped into the deep pit, but
I accidentally activated the formation inside, so I quickly went down to rescue her, and it took a lot of effort to rescue her."
"But not long after I rescued her, we encountered a mutated black snake more than ten meters away. Before Ms. Yan could react, she was knocked unconscious by the mutated black snake. And I was with the black snake.
We started fighting, and ended up falling into the dark river again. When I woke up again, I found myself at the foot of the mountain..."
As Lu Chen spoke, he also took out the dagger that had stabbed the mutated black snake with blood stains on it, and continued: "Look, this is the proof that I stabbed the mutated black snake."
After everyone heard this, they stepped forward to take a look and saw that the dagger was indeed stained with red and green snake blood, which was exactly the same as the blood of the little black snakes that everyone had encountered when they were at the upper altar.
"Although you have produced proof, I still feel that it is a bit exaggerated? How could you run up from the depths of the cave as soon as you wake up?"
Yan Tong frowned with an expression of disbelief.
Are you kidding? Could there be some kind person in this cave who specially sent him out? Isn't this too outrageous?
"Brother, I think what Brother Lu said is true, because there seems to be something inside that altar that we can't understand."
Yan Meng nodded and said seriously.
After all, she and Lu Chen were on the same side. Even if she had doubts in her heart, she still gave Lu Heng approval on the surface.
After Lu Chen came back, except for the two bodyguards who accidentally died in the cave, all the people who entered the mountain this time were already there.
Yan Meng felt deeply guilty for the death of the two bodyguards, but at the same time he was also a little frustrated and disappointed. It was obvious that they were within reach of the Earth Dragon Marrow, but in the end they fell short because of the organization behind the scenes.
On the way back to the city, when passing by a rest stop, Lu Chen found an opportunity to talk to Yan Meng and learned that she wanted to use Master Wu to lure out the organization behind the scenes.
Although he was not optimistic about Yan Meng's plan, he did not open his mouth to persuade him. This matter involved the Yan family, and he was not allowed to be an outsider to comment.
Then, he handed a small bottle filled with light red liquid to Yan Meng, and whispered: "This is the earth dragon marrow, but because it was absorbed by the mysterious little snake for too long, the efficacy may not be
If you don’t save one out of ten, you can give it a try, but don’t have high hopes..."
"Also, be careful not to let Master Wu or others discover it."
"Thank you so much, Brother Lu!"
Seeing this, Yan Meng reached out to take the small bottle with excitement on his face, and then carefully stuffed the small bottle into the bag he carried with him.
…
This time he accompanied the Yan family brothers and sisters into the mountains for nearly seven or eight days. There was no signal in the depths of Jinwu Mountain. When he came out, his mobile phone had been scrapped and only a mobile phone sim card was left.
I can no longer contact the Ye family.
After Yan Tong drove him home, as soon as he entered the door, he found his father-in-law and mother-in-law all in the living room.
After seeing him come back, his father-in-law Ye Jianwen's face showed a hint of joy: "Xiaochen, why did it take you so long to enter the mountain this time?"
When Lu Chen left, he didn't say that he was going to help the Yan brothers and sisters find dragon veins. After all, this sounded a bit outrageous, so he just said that he would accompany a few friends to Jinwu Mountain to have fun.
"Actually, we should have come back a long time ago, but one person went to the toilet and got lost in the middle of the night. It took us several days to find him."
He had made up the reasons in advance. If his father-in-law and mother-in-law had any questions, he could call Yan Tong, because Yan Tong played the role of someone who got lost in the toilet.
"The terrain of Jinwu Mountain is complex, and the deeper you go, the more likely you are to encounter dangers."
Ye Jianwen nodded slightly, but he didn't have any doubts.
In the past few days, he has accompanied his eldest daughter to Jinwu Mountain to see the construction progress of the resort, so he has some understanding of the situation in Jinwu Mountain. Not to mention it is in the deep mountains and old forests, even at the construction site outside the mountain.
On the road, workers often get lost for inexplicable reasons.
Liu Ya looked at Lu Chen in confusion, but didn't say much.
After Lu Chen chatted with his father-in-law for a few more words, he returned to his room and opened the backpack that had followed him through countless hardships.
In fact, there was nothing inside, only three things were left.
One was the missing corner compass, which could not be lost under any circumstances. The other was the jade bowl enshrined on the altar, which he also took back with ease.
However, the material of this jade bowl should not be ordinary jade, otherwise it would have been broken long ago when he was fighting the mutated black snake.
And the last thing is the mineral water bottle containing the earth dragon marrow and the mysterious snake.
This mysterious little snake seemed to have entered hibernation after undergoing the god worship ceremony, without any reaction at all.
He carefully unscrewed the mouth of the bottle, poured the soup and water back into the jade bowl, and then found a secret place to hide the jade bowl.
"Dong dong dong."
Just when he had just hidden the jade bowl, someone knocked on his door. When he opened the door, he saw that it was his mother-in-law Liu Ya.
"Xiaochen, please pick up Qingyun this afternoon. This girl had her driver's license points deducted for running a red light the day before yesterday. You pick her up from school and bring her car back by the way."
Ever since Ye Qingling joined the Qingchen Group, Lu Chen's status in the family has skyrocketed. Even his mother-in-law, who had always been cold to him, has become amiable.
"No problem, Mom. I'll get ready and go pick up Qingyun."
Lu Chen readily agreed.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Chen was going to go out to pick up Ye Qingyun, but before that, he took out the personal money he had saved up with great difficulty. It was probably less than two hundred yuan, which was enough to buy a new domestically produced senior phone.
.
After buying the mobile phone, he only had a dozen dollars left in his pocket.
Who could have imagined that a few days ago, he was still in an underground cave, fighting wits with people and fighting mutant black snakes, but he would become so poor after returning to the normal world.
But fortunately, he has already gotten used to it.
