Tomb Raiders: Inherit the King, start the Yunnan Insect Valley

Amidst the noise of the crowd, the proprietress's meal was brought out steaming hot.

"Bosses, there are no delicacies in this inn, and there are only some home-cooked meals for you to eat."

"I hope you don't feel disgusted."

"No, no, Fatty, I vomited for a long time in the car, and my stomach has been growling for a long time, as long as there is food, we don't pay so much attention."

Fatty Wang snatched the rice bowl from the proprietress's hand, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

It looks like a reincarnation of a hungry ghost!

"Fatty, no one is robbing you, what's the rush?"

Hu Bayi covered his forehead, a little speechless.

However, after being bumped by the old driver for a day, he was also hungry. Seeing the fat man eating so deliciously, he immediately turned into a little prince.

Everyone twitched their index fingers when they smelled the aroma of rice and hot dishes.

Soon, Wang Ye also ate two bowls of rice. He drank the tea brought by the peacock and walked out of the inn.

Outside the inn, you can clearly see the true face of Zhelong Mountain.

I saw the highest mountain peak going straight into the sky.

There are steep cliffs on both sides, rolling and rolling without end, and it is impossible to tell whether the top of the mountain is filled with white clouds or snow.

There are many clouds and fog here, and they are layered.

There are wisps of blue smoke and mist on the mountainside, and the clouds get thicker as you go higher, and they are all blocked by the mountains and condense together.

The mountain is made of light green granite, and the main peak of Zhelong Mountain, like a warrior with a white crown and green armor, stands in the middle of the forest.

There are vast forests and seas at the foot of the mountain, waterfalls and earth forests in various poses and with different expressions, a beautiful original natural scenery.

However, who would have thought that there are countless poisonous insects hidden under this beautiful scenery.

There is also the royal tomb dedicated to the king thousands of years ago.

At this time, the peacock came over curiously.

"Brother Wang Ye, are you going to climb Zhelong Mountain?"

Wang Ye smiled, "That's right, we plan to climb over Zhelong Mountain to catch butterflies and insects."

When the peacock heard it, his head shook like a rattle.

"Don't go there, everyone who has been to Zhelong Mountain is dead! Zhelong Mountain is haunted!"

"Peacock, now is the time to break the four olds, don't talk about ghosts?"

Hu Bayi suddenly walked over from the two of them and said.

After he finished his meal, he was coming out with a binoculars and wanted to take a closer look at Zhelong Mountain.

"Yeah, I know Brother Hu."

The peacock nodded cutely.

"All of us who have been to Zhelong Mountain are dead. It is said that there are man-eating ghosts on the mountain, but now no one dares to go up the mountain."

Then Wang Ye took the peacock back to the inn, and called Fatty Wang and Chief of Staff Yang over.

According to the proprietress and the peacock, the ghosts on Zhalong Mountain are so fierce that no one dares to go up, and no one knows the way now.

People who have been to Zhalong Mountain have either died of old age or died unexpectedly, and there is not one left.

If you want to go over the mountain, it is basically impossible.

Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, and Fatty Wang all frowned after hearing this.

Before coming to Yunnan, several people had carefully studied Chen Blind's human skin map.

According to the markings on the human skin map, there are only two ways to enter the Worm Valley.

One is along a river called Snake River, bypassing Zhelong Mountain.

The biggest problem with this road is that the road is too long, and it is not easy to walk.

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse.

After all, Zhelong Mountain can cover mountains with a radius of hundreds of miles, not the small forests in the Central Plains.

Moreover, the Zhelong Mountain area is full of deep mountains, canyons, and virgin forests.

If you want to bypass it, it will take a month or two less.

This road is definitely not feasible, and the supply along the way is not enough for a small team of four people.

The original route chosen by Hu Bayi and others was to directly cross Zhelong Mountain, which is nearly 4000 meters above sea level.

On the human skin map, there is a tuyere in Zhelong Mountain. As long as you pass through it, you can directly reach the Insect Valley.

Now it seems that there is no way to go over the road of Zhelong Mountain.

Without a guide, it is difficult for a few people to climb the mountain that spans the tropical virgin jungle to the snow-capped mountains.

Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang frown.

Seeing Wang Ye's calm face, Fatty Wang thought that his cousin, who knew both astronomy and geography, had a solution.

"Cousin, do you have other options?"

Wang Ye nodded, of course he knew.

Just when he was about to say that there is a waterway tunnel that can directly reach the Worm Valley, Wang Ye realized a problem. How could he, a foreigner, know?

If you say it yourself, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Hu Bayi and the others, as well as the proprietress and Peacock.

Although it may be nothing, but out of caution, Wang Ye still pretended not to know, and asked Peacock:

"Peacock, you have lived in Zhelong Mountain for so long, isn't there any other path to lead to?"

After Wang Ye finished speaking, the eyes of several people were all focused on Peacock.

Yes, isn't there a path?

The peacock was slightly taken aback, half-closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Peacock, think about it carefully, for example, is there any place under the mountain that you can go around, or other places?"

After Wang Ye's mention, Peacock's eyes lit up and he said excitedly:

"I remembered, there is indeed a shortcut. You can take the tunnel."

"tunnel?"

Hu Bayi and the others asked curiously.

Peacock flashed his big eyes and nodded, "Yes, there is a tunnel under Zhalong Mountain. There is a waterway in the tunnel, and bamboo rafts can be put through Zhalong Mountain."

When Hu Bayi heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, if you go by water, you don't have to worry about getting lost, and you don't have to climb mountains, which can save you a lot of time."

Shirley Yang also nodded.

If you use bamboo rafts to travel by water, several people don't even need to carry equipment, which saves much time and effort than climbing over mountains and jungles.

Peacock said, with a worried expression on his face, "Brother Wang Ye, you should not go through that tunnel, because I heard that there are many dead people in the tunnel, and there are often ghosts screaming."

"Peacock, please tell us in detail."

Wang Ye said with a smile.

Peacock nodded and began to narrate:

"The legends are all excavated by the ancient ancestors.

In the past, rebellious bandits occupied it and fought against the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers were helpless against the complex terrain in the mountain, so they had to block all the openings with stones, trapping everyone inside to death.

In the future, whenever you play in the sea, put your ears on the rocks of "Zhelong Mountain", and you will hear the desperate cries in the mountain.

But until recent years, someone quarried stones and discovered a cave with melted limestone and a strip of groundwater.

This water has been passing through the mountain and flows into the "Snake River" at the other end of "Zhelong Mountain".

The water is deep enough to use bamboo rafts, and with this waterway, you don't have to worry about getting lost in the criss-crossing caves.

Due to the gentle terrain, the water flow is not urgent. When you go, you can let the row flow down the river, which is very labor-saving. When you come back, you need to spend some effort to support the pole to come back. In short, it is much more convenient than turning over the mountain. "

"Great, let's take this waterway."

Hu Bayi was all smiles.
