After joking for a while, the four of them spread out without further ado, picked up some dead branches nearby, piled them up, made a bonfire, and threw all the severed limbs of Mr. Wang into the fire.

"Then let's go. It's morning now. If we bite the bullet, we can probably go back to Caiyun Inn tonight and have a good sleep."

After looking at the beating flames, Ding Ze held a cigarette in his mouth and said.

Hear the words.

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang nodded in agreement.

The fat man also nodded and said, "Okay, then you guys wait for me for a moment and I'll pry some meteorites away..."

The fat man said, raising his feet and walking towards the two meteorites at the entrance of the Worm Valley.

See the situation.

Hu Bayi felt helpless and once again played the role of a stumbling block on Fatty's road to wealth, and decisively reached out to hold Fatty back.

"Damn fat man, don't you dare hold me back!"

"We can't be sure now whether those two meteorites are radioactive or not!"

"We have already touched so many obvious weapons this time. There is no need to risk being exposed to radiation by tossing those things... Let's just go!"

Shirley Yang followed up and said, "Fat man, what Old Hu said is right... Moreover, things like meteorites are not as easy to sell as you think. Even if you take the risk and bring them back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sell them."

"

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang sing and harmonize.

The fat man heard: "╮(╯▽╰)╭...You two always prevent me from getting rich!! Hey!"

The fat man sighed and shook his head, but he did not insist on tossing the meteorite, "Forget it, I can't defeat you!"

As he said that, the fat man looked at the long knife that Mr. Headless Xian Wang was holding on the ground.

"I don't have to pry the meteorite away, but I have to take this knife away!" Fatty declared categorically.

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang heard: "..."

The two of them felt helpless for a while.

Ding Ze held a cigarette in his mouth and smiled without making a sound.

----------

The brief interlude ends.

The four of them hit the road again.

"The road we took here before was a bit too circuitous," Hu Bayi said. "Now that the Snake River is right next to it, let's go along the Snake River on the way back."

Ding Ze and the other three nodded, expressing no objection.

Time passes gradually.

Accompanied by the movement of the sun, the four of them walked along the Snake River, chatting and occasionally eating dry food. They were in a relatively relaxed mood and headed towards the tunnel under Zhelong Mountain step by step.

In the blink of an eye, a few hours passed.

After a few days, the four finally successfully returned to the tunnel entrance under Zhelong Mountain.

Stopping, Ding Ze looked up at the sky where the sun was still high, "It will probably get dark in another hour or two, so it seems there's no need to be too anxious. I think we should rest here for a while."

The four of them rested for half an hour.

Afterwards, it took about half an hour to cut down some small trees and use the remaining ropes and thick vines to build a long raft.

Around dusk, everything was ready, just waiting to set off.

At this time, Hu Bayi said, "The way we are going out now should be the path that the proprietress of Caiyun Inn mentioned that the quarry workers took in the past. In theory, it should be safer."

"However, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."

"We'd better take care of ourselves outside first, and make sure there's no blood or anything on our bodies, lest we attract those piranhas from the underground river."

"Yeah," Ding Ze and the others responded.

Very quickly, almost ten minutes.

The four of them finished packing, set off, and entered the tunnel.

It was still quiet in the tunnel.

Fortunately, because it is on the correct waterway, this kind of quietness does not have much of a permeable smell.

The four of them remained silent and rowed the raft quietly, moving forward against the current.

finally.

About forty minutes later, without any danger, we made our way out of the tunnel and climbed to the ground outside the tunnel entrance.

As soon as he climbed onto the ground, the fat man immediately laughed heartily, "Haha, there can't be any problems now! Old Ding, Old Hu, we really made a fortune this time!"

"Moreover, we now know the situation in the Worm Valley... If we are short of money in the future, we can completely prepare the equipment accurately and go to Xian Wang Lao'er's mausoleum to collect the water-soaked artifacts inside.

Salvage them all..."

The fat man was minding his own business, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, "Hey, I think if we fish out all those obvious weapons, we will all become the richest people directly..."

Bah bah bah bah.

The fat man fantasized about a bright future and kept talking for a while.

When Hu Ba heard this, he rolled his eyes at the fat man and ignored it. He only said with some emotion, "Although it has only been a few days, but now, thinking about what happened in the past few days, I really have a feeling of two things.

What it’s like to be human.”

Shirley Yang nodded, "I feel the same way. Fortunately, we successfully obtained the Muchen Bead, and all the efforts were worth it."

With that said, Shirley Yang turned to Ding Ze, who was lying on the ground holding a cigarette in his mouth, "Mr. Ding, thank you for saving us several times this time, otherwise..."

The words were heard, but before Shirley Yang could finish her words, because he could never stand such pretentious words, Ding Ze waved his hand decisively and interrupted Shirley Yang, "We are all in the same boat, there is no such thing as such words.

It’s necessary to say it.”

After saying this, Ding Ze directly changed the topic, "I think we should take advantage of the moment and come up with a reasonable explanation that can explain why we have been missing for so many days and brought out three sacks."

"Otherwise, if someone sees you soon, you may be suspected."

"Yeah!" Hu Ba nodded, "You really have to find a way to explain it... First put all the weapons into your backpack and show up with a sack on your back. It's hard to explain."

The four of them discussed for a while.

finally.

Just like the original plot, Hu Bayi came up with the explanation of "encountered a big python in the mountains, got lost, fought to the death, and finally escaped alive".

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ding Ze smiled and deliberately gave Hu Bayi a thumbs up, "Yes, half-truths and half-false lies usually have good results."

After saying that, Ding Ze thought about it and decided to tease Shirley Yang, "Ms. Yang, this guy Lao Hu is very good at lying. He is obviously a veteran. You have to be careful not to be fooled by him!"

Words spread.

Shirley Yang's cheeks instantly turned red: "?(????w????)?"

Then he said angrily, "Mr. Ding, don't talk nonsense!"

Hu Bayi, whose face was obviously embarrassed, immediately said, "Old Ding, you are slandering me. How come I have become an expert in lying! I have grown up so much that I can basically tell lies.

Never told a lie!!"

"Haha," as soon as Hu Bayi's words came out, the fat man laughed mercilessly, "Lao Hu, I just realized that you are so thick-skinned. You are so embarrassed to say it, then let me ask you

…”

Bah bah bah bah.

The fat man was ruthless and tried to undermine Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi: "￣□￣｜｜Damn fat man! You're so embarrassed, you don't even look at you..."

The two got into a quarrel.

See this scene.

Shirley Yang shook her head, and instead of stopping the two of them like before, she smiled.

For a moment, the atmosphere was joyful.

The happy atmosphere lasted for about five minutes.

Seeing that Hu Bayi and Fatty both became quiet, Shirley Yang spoke up, "Enough trouble, let's go back to the inn."

The four of them hit the road again.

The tunnel entrance is not far from Caiyun Inn.

After a while, the four of them arrived at the inn.

As soon as they entered the inn, just like in the original plot, the landlady saw the four people dressed like beggars and immediately asked with concern what happened.

then.

Facing the landlady's concern, Hu Bayi followed the explanation he had thought up not long ago and deceived the landlady in a convincing manner.
