Moreover, this place is a bamboo forest.
The cut bamboo can be used to reinforce the raft once more.
Travel by water.
For the Unloading Ridge bandits, it was no challenge at all.
Not long after.
The bandits of the Unloading Ridge made hundreds of bamboo rafts, which were neatly arranged in rows along the riverbank.
Because there are too many people.
Chen Yulou divided the people into three groups to advance, two hundred at a time.
To avoid hundreds of bamboo rafts blocking the river.
Chen Yulou went over the action plan again.
He planned to lead a hundred brothers, along with Li Xiaohu and Partridge Whistle, to explore the cave first.
Once the following teams hear the signal arrow or hear the sentry's call, they will continue their journey.
No one objected, and they listened to the instructions.
Chen Yulou nodded in satisfaction and ordered the operation to begin!
Subsequently.
Chen Yulou then led a hundred vanguard brothers onto ten bamboo rafts, equipped with all their gear, and drifted towards Zhelong Mountain along the river's current.
Li Xiaohu, along with a group of cats and Little Wukong, boarded Chen Yulou's raft.
Yin Xinyue and Hong Guniang followed behind.
So there were only the four of them on the raft, plus two brothers who were punting it.
The three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companions, were on a bamboo raft behind them.
"Keep a close eye on your head!" Luo Laowai, Hua Maguai, and the other brothers who were waiting watched the group leave.
Chen Yulou stood on the lead raft, hands behind his back, nodded, and then looked ahead with a solemn expression.
The Zhelong Mountain in front of us is getting bigger and bigger.
It quickly covered half the sky for everyone.
Chen Yulou could already see the cave at the end of the river, and his heart began to race with tension.
Li Xiaohu patted him on the shoulder to reassure him.
Chen Yulou smiled and nodded, then raised his hand, signaling everyone to prepare to turn on the lights!
After the Battle of Ping Mountain, both Chang Shengshan and Luo Laowai's Xiangyin Army made a fortune.
They really went all out to upgrade the equipment and machinery.
Now, almost everyone in the Unloading Ridge faction has a powerful flashlight, and some even have large searchlights!
Chen Yulou had just exerted himself in the dark cave.
Bright lights suddenly shone behind them, illuminating the cave.
As soon as the river water rushed into the cave, it became somewhat rapid because the river channel narrowed.
The raft beneath the bandits' feet drifted more and more rapidly.
Fortunately, the pole vaulters were all very skilled, which kept the bamboo raft moving steadily.
Chen Yulou suddenly shuddered.
He felt the temperature in the cave drop sharply, and he couldn't help but gasp for breath.
Chen Yulou squatted down and put his hand into the river.
He recoiled from his hand instantly, startled by the icy river water, and asked with a puzzled look, "Why is the water in here so cold?"
Yunnan has a spring-like climate all year round.
But it was so cold inside, even unusually chilly.
"Pfft!"
Li Xiaohu's water-crossing gourd cat suddenly jumped into the water.
The opposite of what people do.
The water-crossing gourd cat loves this kind of cold water the most.
This is a rare sight, and I couldn't resist wanting to jump into the water and play.
Li Xiaohu didn't stop it; he let it go ahead and scout the way.
However, Li Xiaohu's other cats all looked at the water-crossing gourd cat with puzzled expressions.
How can a cat like water?
Although they can all swim, they don't like water and only go into the water when they have no other choice.
But the water-crossing gourd cat really loves water.
Right now, it's spinning its big tail and swimming happily in front of the bamboo raft.
Seeing this, Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile, then got up and continued looking ahead.
suddenly.
His keen eyes caught a glimpse of an eerie blue light flashing in the shadows ahead!
I was just about to find out.
The searchlight shone on us again, but there was nothing there.
"Turn off the lights first," Chen Yulou ordered everyone to turn off the lights.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The searchlights went out instantly.
The cave became dark again.
Chen Yulou also saw the blue light hidden in the dimness.
The blue light flickered, like wisps of will-o'-the-wisp, drifting in the darkness.
"Will-o'-the-wisp?" Chen Yulou asked himself.
They say it's will-o'-the-wisp.
He actually knew exactly what it was.
It's just phosphorus powder that spontaneously combusts when it comes into contact with oxygen.
He had seen it many times in the tomb.
Most of them are produced from rotting corpses.
"Turn on the lights!" Chen Yulou ordered the searchlights to be turned on.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The cave was bright again!
Chen Yulou suddenly shuddered!
The searchlight that suddenly turned on behind him illuminated the situation in front of him.
He suddenly saw it.
On the riverbanks on both sides of the cave, there were layers upon layers of white, skeletal remains!
Most of the remains were just piles of broken bones, but their numbers were countless, forming small hills on the riverbeds on both sides.
Most of them were clean, white bones.
However, a few corpses still had some rotten flesh on them, emitting a foul stench in the cave!
Chen Yulou couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of unease.
He recalled the rumors the two medicine-drinking people had told him.
There is a man-eating green dragon living in the cave at the foot of Zhelong Mountain!
Now it seems.
What they said didn't seem to be a lie!
Even if it's not a real green dragon, it's probably a very terrifying creature or monster!
Li Xiaohu also noticed this situation and was about to remind Chen Yulou to be prepared.
Chen Yulou spoke first:
"Get your weapons ready! Be on alert!"
Asking for flowers
