Luo Laowai left forty men to guard the area.
They were then divided into two groups, each with a total of 180 people, and entered the cave at the foot of Zhelong Mountain one after the other.
Thanks to Chen Yulou's prior reminder.
Both groups proceeded very cautiously into the cave.
The floating object on the cave ceiling was not touched.
By this time, the blood in the cave had been washed away.
The allure of blood has faded.
Those fanged croakers never appeared again.
About two hours later.
Luo Laowai and Hua Maguai finally led the remaining people through Zhelong Mountain and arrived in front of Chen Yulou 017.
"Damn it!" Old Luo complained as soon as they met. "It's such a pain in the ass."
Chen Yulou gave a wry smile and gestured for the others to get ready to depart immediately.
Then he checked the human skin map with Li Xiaohu and Partridge Whistle.
We chose to continue along the waterway.
About half an hour later.
Everyone is now in order.
Chen Yulou left another twenty men to set up camp again to provide support.
Then he led the Unloading Ridge bandits on another journey.
Heading towards the Insect Valley on the Human Skin Map!
The main force traveled downstream along the river for about ten miles before encountering a large mountain blocking their path.
Seeing that the river had once again flowed straight into the mountain, Chen Yulou decided to repeat his old trick and pass directly through the mountain in front of him.
However, after scouts investigated, they discovered...
There is a bottomless abyss in the cave at the foot of this mountain, which is impossible to pass through.
Chen Yulou was helpless.
Therefore, they had no choice but to climb the mountain, leading the large group up the mountain in a grand procession.

Fortunately, the mountain is not very high.
It has an altitude of only seven or eight hundred meters.
The bandits of the Unloading Ridge Clan easily climbed to the top of the mountain in just over an hour.
Li Xiaohu and Chen Yulou found a spot with a wide view and gazed ahead.
Before me lay a low-lying basin, surrounded by towering mountains, each covered with lush, verdant primeval forests.
Occasionally, a few waterfalls cascade down the mountain.
A spray of water mist rose up, creating a scene resembling a fairyland.
The basin is full of deep valleys and ravines, streams and dangerous pools, and dense shrubs and forests grow everywhere.
The two stood atop the hill, gazing into the distance.
Several clusters of brightly colored butterflies could be faintly seen fluttering up and down among the flowers, a truly beautiful sight.
Although the 100,000 mountains in western Hunan are all forests.
But none of them are as pristine and lush as this place, giving people a sense of returning to nature.
however.
In the middle of this beautiful primeval forest, a strange white mist was shrouding the area.
Even sunlight can't penetrate it, making it impossible to see what's inside.
Chen Yulou took out the human skin map and pointed to the blank area on it, saying, "That place in front should be the 'Insect Valley' mentioned on the map."
"According to the map, we must cross this valley of insects to reach the final tomb of the King Xian."
Li Xiaohu opened his mouth, wanting to speak.
In the end, he swallowed his words.
He knew that the Insect Valley was impassable and that he had to take another route.
But if I tell him directly now, Chen Yulou might not believe me.
Instead, let's keep revealing hints to him along the way, and then gradually discover the right path.
Chen Yulou turned to face all his brothers and shouted loudly, "Brothers!"
"We've found the Insect Valley!"
"Next, all we need to do is cross this insect valley to find the tomb of King Xian!"
Upon hearing this, all the brothers showed excited expressions, and their fighting spirit was rekindled.
"but!"
Chen Yulou's expression suddenly darkened, and he changed the subject, saying...
"This insect valley before us is surely fraught with danger. Brothers, we must not let our guard down and must remain vigilant at all times!"
He looked around at everyone and loudly questioned:
"Do you understand?"
The bandits of the Unloading Ridge bandits responded in unison, "Understood, Chief!"
Chen Yulou nodded in satisfaction, then turned and led most of the group down the mountain.
Looking from the mountain.
The Insect Valley seems to be not far down the mountain.
But reality is not like that at all.
Chen Yulou led most of the group down the mountain, only to find that there was no path to follow at the bottom!
Not to mention the forest is full of tall trees.
The ground was covered with bushes and thorns taller than a person, which severely slowed down the advance of the main force.
The bandits had no choice but to take out their machetes and clear a path as they moved forward.
If it weren't for Li Xiaohu using a compass and the sun to determine direction...
If Chen Yulou and his group continue walking aimlessly like this, they are likely to lose their way.
even so.
The Unloading Ridge bandits were still wasting too much time in the forest.
Until the sun had set.
They haven't left the forest yet.
Chen Yulou decided to put in more effort, hoping to get out of the forest before dark.
Li Xiaohu, however, tried to dissuade him, saying, "Brother Chen."
"The night in the forest is fraught with danger. We must not put everyone in danger for the sake of temporary gain."
"Everyone is exhausted now, and efficiency is low. Even with expedited processing, it will be difficult to get out of this forest."
"Why don't we find a suitable place to set up camp and rest for the night, and continue our journey early tomorrow morning?"
What Li Xiaohu said makes sense.
In addition, Partridge Whistle thought the same way.
Chen Yulou looked up at the sky.
Darkness is coming.
Nights in the forest are fraught with danger.
Those ferocious beasts and snakes and ants that lie dormant during the day will begin to emerge at night.
Unnecessary accidents may occur at that time.
In the end, Chen Yulou had no choice but to accept his suggestion.
He ordered everyone to stop clearing the road.
Then, twenty scouts were sent out in all directions to find a suitable place to set up camp.
The others waited in place for a long time.
