The phoenix is basically a legendary existence, just like a dragon, and this big red bird is not a phoenix, but a golden pheasant. This golden pheasant just grows larger, so it spreads its wings and looks like a golden pheasant.
Phoenix.
From beginning to end, the nearly three-meter-long golden pheasant was flying in the air, like a warrior wearing armor, looking at everyone indifferently, and the strong wind fanning its wings made the leaves of the ancient trees rustle.
"The auspiciousness has come from heaven, we will definitely get a big harvest this time when we enter the mountain," said a long smile.
"Giggle...".
The golden pheasant spun around in mid-air, called twice more, and then fell into the forest, where there was no movement for a while.
"It's so beautiful, much more beautiful than the ones in the zoo."
"What is a zoo? They are all kept in captivity. Can they be compared with those here?"
The uncle who led the way looked at the direction in which the golden pheasant was flying away, and couldn't help but shook his head and said, "We have agreed that I will only take you to Baihuling. I will not go in. After you arrive, I will come back here and wait for you."
The cattle herders looked at each other and said nothing, but judging from their expressions, they didn't want to go into the back mountain. The temptation given by Xiao Yu and the others was too great, and they didn't want to refuse. After all, this is the income of a prime man working for two years. If they miss this
Once, I guess I won't have such an opportunity again in the future.
The professor looked at the back mountain with a happy face, then took out a map and looked at it, then whispered a few words to Taoist Master O, and finally looked at the crowd and said, "This is not far from Baihu Ridge.
Let’s all go and have some rest first, and we’ll set off early tomorrow morning.”
"Professor, I don't want to go. I feel uncomfortable, so I don't want to go to the back mountain." A boy said a little embarrassed.
"You're already here, why don't you go?"
"That's right, we girls are not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"
"I won't go. I feel flustered when I get here, so I don't want to go." The boy blushed and shook his head, looking a bit stubborn.
"Chen Ming, as an archaeologist, you have to enter the mountains at any time. If you don't even have this courage, how will you enter the mountains in the future? Besides, we have been walking for half a month, and it is not easy to go back. If you don't go
If so, I have to go back alone, can you walk out?"
"I……".
"Okay, stop talking. Now that we've come this far, I hope that no one will give up and don't be afraid. This is just a mountain. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Before Chen Ming finished speaking, he was interrupted by the professor. What he said was right. If you don't go in now, you have only two ways to go. One is to return to the town, but it will take half a month!
Another one is waiting here, but the time to go to the mountains is not fixed. It may be three months or more, and there is not enough food here. Let a weak scholar stay here. That is not waiting.
Die?
Chen Ming didn't speak and looked a little embarrassed, but in the end he nodded and agreed.
"Let's go, everyone, follow me to the cave." The leader greeted, and then he pulled the surrounding vegetation and climbed towards the cave.
The trail to the cave is very steep, and the surrounding plants are also very dense. It looks a bit desolate. Between the back mountain and the front mountain, there seems to be an invisible barrier that separates the two sides. On one side, there are towering ancient trees, while on the other side there are plants.
Sparse, mostly dominated by low shrubs.
The leader hunched over and walked about fifty or sixty meters, then suddenly took two steps back, and then stood there without any movement.
Xiao Yu and others stretched their heads curiously and looked forward, only to see a black snake the size of a millstone entangled under the shrubs above. The black snake seemed to be basking in the sun and did not notice anyone coming.
The leader picked up a branch and slapped it on the surrounding bushes a few times. The black snake slowly raised its head. When it saw someone standing in front of it, its whole body arched up. The leader stood there.
Nothing moved anywhere.
One person and one snake stood there in a stalemate. After a long time, the black snake stretched its body and slipped into the nearby bushes. However, where the black snake was entrenched before, the weeds were still dark, as if they had been poisoned.
"Mei Snake, this kind of snake is extremely venomous, and generally people who drive on mountain roads are not willing to mess with it," the cattle drive uncle explained to Xiao Yu in a low voice.
"There are so many of us, but we are still afraid of that thing?" Mr. Jun asked.
The cattle driver smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I'm not afraid. This is just a taboo for us, because the snake is very revengeful. If you can't catch it, he will take revenge on you! I heard a friend say before that the mountain people there
Because you pissed off the snake, it chased it for hundreds of miles on the mountain road. Are you afraid?"
"Hiss..." Mr. Jun took a long breath and said, "It's really scary, and in the mountains, snakes can probably run faster than people, so they don't have to wait to die."
The cattle driver nodded, then raised his head and looked forward! The leader still held the branch to avoid hitting the surrounding bushes. It was estimated that about half an hour had passed before he waved to the people behind him and motioned for everyone to follow.
The three-foot cave doesn't look big, about thirty meters deep and more than ten meters wide. There are some weeds in the corners of the cave, like a sleeping place, and it's relatively humid inside, and there are some weeds growing there. Although the place is
It's not big, but more than fifty people can make do with it.
Entering the cave, everyone's hearts relaxed immediately. They all sat on the ground and took out food to enjoy. Fortunately, the ghost corpse killed the bear and asked them to save some bear meat. Otherwise, they would not be able to survive with the little dry food they bought.
.
Those students were also quite capable. Xiao Yu originally thought that they would not be able to get here, but no one quit crying in pain along the way. Although everyone had complaints, they were also being cleaned up. This made Xiao Yu look at these students with admiration.
After the uncle who led the way took everyone into the cave, he walked out and came back after a while with some grass-like things in his hands. The uncle called him daylily, which is a herbaceous plant that is non-toxic and can be used to satisfy hunger.
.
"We don't have much food on us now. I don't think we should set off tomorrow. Let's rest here for a few days and prepare some food before heading into the mountains. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to rush into the mountains like this."
"That's right. Entering the back mountain is not as easy as the front mountain. Everyone has seen it. It's very deserted. Even if there are wild animals, we are no match. So we might as well prepare some food outside so that we won't be hungry when we go in.
abdomen".
Lao Bai also nodded in approval. He has been eating meat these days and is almost vomiting. Moreover, the meat does not have much salty taste. He is afraid that he will need to drink water if he eats too much, so it is very light because he can only see a spring very far away.
So you have to save water.
The leader propped up a can on his back on several large wooden stakes, and then started to light a fire. At this time, a professor took out some dried vegetables, which are vacuum vegetables, for the purpose of supplementing nutrition in the mountains.
Since everyone has a rest now, let's take it out and make some soup.
