Professor Liao's words caught Chen Zhi's attention. He looked at the edge of Feilong Valley. The cracks full of weeds were indeed strange. There were a lot of weeds growing in the cracks, covering the original appearance. If you don't pay attention, you can't see.
When we came out, there was actually a piece of broken rock.
"Could it be that a super-large creature bigger than a dinosaur..."
"What are you talking about?",
Fat Wei's voice interrupted their conversation,
"I said let's stop talking now. It's so damn cold in the mountains in this winter, so come over and drink some red ginger tea to go away the cold!".
After Fat Wei finished speaking, he handed over two cups. It turned out that someone in the team had brought some brown sugar ginger tea cubes. Each piece looked like sugar cubes. This kind of ginger tea cubes is very convenient, dissolves in water, and is very suitable for warding off evil spirits and removing dampness.
Drink in this mountain.
Someone brought the mountain spring water they had just fetched. The water here was very clean, clear and transparent. They poured the water into a small outdoor aluminum pot, then put in ginger tea cubes and put it on the fire. After a while, the inside of the aluminum pot
The water began to gurgling and the smell of red ginger tea emerged. The ginger tea was ready to drink.
Fat Wei got along very well with the eight young men. Each of them took a cup and gathered around the campfire to chat. After Guidao finished eating, he took the knife and found a place to close his eyes and rest.
In fact, Chen Zhi knew that Fat Wei was very worried about Liao Tingting, but Fat Wei had been doing this kind of high-risk business for many years and had already learned to adjust his emotions. The more it is like this, the more calm he has to be. If he is always in a state of worry and anxiety
, that person will go crazy sooner or later.
But Professor Liao is different. She is an ordinary person after all. Now she is becoming anxious and depressed because she is worried about her niece.
Chen Zhi had a casual chat with Professor Liao while drinking ginger tea, trying to comfort her.
"Professor Liao, you don't have to worry too much. All the armed forces at that time were allocated to Tingting's team. The combat capability of that team was still very strong. Although this mountain has never been developed by humans, it is nothing more than a trough.
There may be something too dangerous, and as you said, Miss Tingting is very cautious and will not enter a place that is too dangerous.
"What I worry about is her caution...",
Professor Liao sighed heavily,
"I have seen that child since she was a child. Her biggest problem is that she is cautious. She does not dare to go forward when encountering the slightest danger. Moreover, she has always relied on me. This time she did not dare to go. It was because of me.
It is my responsibility to establish her prestige and force her to go...",
Professor Liao's nose turned red when he said this, and then continued,
"Before leaving, I asked her to bring smoke bombs. If she encountered a dangerous situation, she would send a signal immediately, but she didn't even send out smoke bombs. This proves that there must be some special reason why she can't send out smoke bombs...
…”.
"But is it possible for such a small valley to swallow up such a large team..." Chen Zhi looked down with some disbelief, then shook his head and said,
"Actually, I have long suspected that with the size of Feilong Valley, is it possible to hide a large grotto here and trap a group of people in it?".
"Impossible!", Professor Liao replied affirmatively,
"When Mr. Bao told me about this situation, I expressed doubts. If the grotto you saw was in the desert, it would still be possible, but if it appears on Wushan Mountain, even if the country has not developed it here, the world
The people who have lived here for generations have already discovered traces, and there is such a large blank area hidden in the mountain. How is this possible! Any geological detector has detected it, and the country has discovered it long ago..."
"Then you mean to say that the grotto does not exist at all, right?" Chen Zhi asked Professor Liao.
"I'm not sure right now...",
Professor Liao shook his head slightly. I once thought that the grotto you mentioned was just an exaggeration, or even an illusion, but now, Tingting has disappeared...
This proves two things:
First, that giant grotto may really exist, but for some reason, that place was hidden.
Second, Tingting and the others cannot disappear for no reason. No matter how big the beast is in the mountains, they cannot defeat that fully armed team. This proves that Tingting and the others must be trapped, or maybe something else
Why can't we communicate with the outside world?
I'm afraid...",
When Professor Liao said this, the corners of his eyes twitched and he actually shed tears.
"I'm afraid that Tingting really encountered something unexpected, so she couldn't send the signal.
I have no children in my life, and my brother left long ago, leaving this child to depend on me. If something happens to her, I..., I don’t want to live anymore, wuwu...".
Emotions tend to be fragile as people get older. Professor Liao, a strong person, finally started crying. This frightened Fat Wei and the others so much that Chen Zhi was helpless and didn't know how to comfort her.
Chen Zhi also knew in his heart that Liao Tingting's team must be in danger now. The smell of blood that Ghost Sword smelled last night was definitely an ominous sign.
But everyone is exhausted from the past few days. Everyone's cerebral cortex has been in a state of intense tension. After another day of walking on the mountain road, almost all the energy has been exhausted. No matter how urgent things are, we have to wait until dawn tomorrow.
Say it again.
So after everyone comforted Professor Liao, they all went back to their tents to sleep.
They now have more people, and the eight energetic young men each take turns to watch the night, giving Chen Zhi and others a good rest.
After Chen Zhi entered the tent, he felt sleepy all over his body immediately. He had not slept well for three days and was really exhausted. He fell asleep as soon as he fell on the pillow.
I don’t know how long I slept for. Chen Zhi felt someone shaking him gently in his sleep. He was very vigilant and immediately opened his eyes. Professor Liao appeared in front of him...
"Xiao Chen! Wake up quickly, it's Tingting here, she's looking for us...".
"You're not dreaming, are you?",
Chen Zhi's first reaction was that Professor Liao was nervous because he was worried about Liao Tingting. How could Liao Tingting appear here in the middle of the night?
"I'm not lying to you, I recognize the sound of that bell," Professor Liao said softly.
"There is always a bell pendant on Tingting's mobile phone. It is made of glass. It is very loud when shaken. And the sound is very distinctive. I can recognize it as soon as I hear it. If you don't believe me...".
After Professor Liao finished speaking, he stopped talking and pointed outside the tent.
Chen Zhi immediately held his breath and listened carefully to the sounds outside. He only heard the sound of a bell among the howling wind outside.
"Hula la~~, hula la~~, hula la~~", very crisp and clear.
Chen Zhi rolled over and quickly pushed up Fat Wei, who was sleeping like a dead pig next to him. When they walked out of the tent, they found that Ghost Sword was already standing outside. He was holding a long knife, standing on the rock and heading down the mountain.
look,
I saw the Feilong Valley at the foot of the mountain filled with clouds and mist, and a person standing at the edge of the woods...
