Infinite Myth Counterattack

Chapter 274 Route
There were no accidents along the way, but this section of the road was quite long. We set off at [-] o'clock in the morning and arrived at a tributary of the Lancang River until the sun was about to set in the afternoon.

That branch is the Snake River, which got its name because of its curved shape like a snake.

The Snake River bypasses Zhelong Mountain and flows into the high mountains, forming a low-lying valley. Because the mist persists all year round in this valley and there are many insects in the valley, this valley is called Insect Valley.

Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai ordered to camp here to rest for one night, and continue on their way tomorrow.

The Xiling swordsmen took out anti-poison and insect powder one after another and sprinkled some on everyone. There were too many of them and the camp was too wide to break the insect belt.

Besides, it's useless to set up a bug belt, many poisonous bugs come out of the ground directly, so they can only put some protection on their bodies.

The cooking squad of Luo Laowai's engineer Diezi Camp was still in charge of the meals, and this group of guys was also the most unlucky, because they were blamed everywhere they went.

The old foreigner took the flower spirit to the river. The old foreigner tied the end of his bow and arrow with a rope, and shot the fish with the bow and arrow. He shot accurately. As long as the fish appeared in his sight, no one ran away. off.

No one has been here for a long time, and even the fish in the river have grown fat and big. With such a trick, the old foreigner made everyone drink delicious fish soup.

He rested overnight at the source of the Snake River by the Lancang River. Early the next morning, Chen Yulou called Luo Changfeng, Partridge Whistle, Luo Laowai and others over. He had the map in human skin spread out in his hand.

Chen Yulou said: "Everyone, according to the records on the map, there are two routes to enter the insect valley. One is to cross Zhelong Mountain, and the other is to go around Zhelong Mountain along the Snake River. Please refer to it for details. Take a look. Which way is right."

Hearing Chen Yulou's words, Luo Laowai was the first to speak: "It's not feasible to turn over Zhelong Mountain. I asked someone in Dali. The terrain of Zhelong Mountain is steep and rugged, and the weather on the top of the mountain is changeable, such as hail, heavy rain, and strong wind." Come as you say."

"It was sunny just now, but in an instant, it was snowing, hailstorms in summer, and white winds in winter. Without a guide who is familiar with the situation, if you don't pay attention, these hundreds of brothers will be stuck there."

"But now the Bai people who originally lived at the foot of Zhelong Mountain have all moved to Dali. No one has gone up there for many years, and there is no guide at all."

Chen Yulou nodded solemnly and said: "Luo Shuai is right, but the second road is also difficult to take. Taking this route, you have to go through the primeval forest between the Lancang River and the Nu River."

"Although the distance doesn't seem too far from the map, everyone should be very clear that the road in the forest is actually ten to twenty times longer than the expected journey."

"Moreover, the forest is full of poisonous insects and miasma, and the swamps are densely covered. There are also many dangers. Although there are many changes in the mountains, the distance is much shorter."

Hua Maguai echoed, "You always put your head right. I also think it's more appropriate to climb the mountain. What do you think of Changfeng?"

Luo Changfeng folded his arms and said, "I don't care! It doesn't matter where you go. If it's just me and the swordsman brothers who come, I will choose to go over the mountain."

"However, the brothers under Luo Shuai's hands, although they haven't practiced light kung fu, they are all people with good physical strength. It's just a little bit of effort to climb the mountain, plus 'maybe' they will encounter accidents."

"Compared to walking through the forest, it takes less time to climb the mountain. If it goes well, it can be crossed in half a day, so the chance of accidents is naturally smaller."

"Walking through the forest will take ten days or eight days, not to mention the danger in the dense forest. It is a very dangerous thing to rest overnight in the forest. There are some things that guns can't deal with."

This is a fact. The most terrifying thing in the primeval forest is never the beast, but those tiny poisonous mosquitoes. After all, you can’t hit mosquitoes with cannons, right?

Seeing that Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng both tended to climb mountains, Luo Laowai had no objections. The brothers and sisters of Partridge Whistle were already used to climbing mountains and mountains. Fear of a mere Zhelong Mountain.

Seeing this, Luo Changfeng nodded inwardly. Although climbing the mountain was a bit troublesome, it was a good thing to be able to avoid the saber-toothed viper, the giant green-scaled python, and the water hornet in the figurines.

If you go over the mountain, you may not encounter any danger, but if you walk in the underground river, you will definitely encounter danger. Moreover, in the underground river, it is not easy to maneuver. He himself is fine, but others will be in danger.

The saber-toothed viper and the water hornet can be blown up with explosives, but if the green-scaled python is on land, it is okay, he and Chen Yulou's ears can detect it from a long distance away, but what if it is in the water? ?If one is not careful, some people may die.

So it's better to go over the mountain.

After the discussion, the team set off immediately and headed straight towards Zhelong Mountain. Several Xiling swordsmen opened the way with hatchets in their hands. They were reluctant to use their swords to chop thorns and bushes.

After walking for about four or five miles, passing through a large bamboo forest, we soon arrived at the foot of the mountain, chose a place with a gentle slope, and the team began to climb Zhelong Mountain.

Zhelong Mountain has an altitude of more than 300 meters. If you want to climb over to reach Chonggu Valley, you need to walk [-] to [-] miles. If you are on flat ground, you can walk in less than three hours.

But it is not so easy to climb the mountain. It will take at least six or seven hours to travel twenty or thirty miles.

After more than two hours, the team reached the mountainside, and the snow line on the top of the mountain could already be seen, and the temperature dropped rapidly.

It was originally a scorching summer, and the military uniforms were not thin. Under full armor, the soldiers endured the scorching heat every day.

The Xiling group of robbers was similar. They always covered their whole bodies when they were searching for tombs, so they naturally endured the scorching heat all the way.

But when they got here, it was like entering an air-conditioned room. The temperature on the mountainside was only about 20 degrees at most, and everyone felt extremely cool, and their steps became much lighter.

After walking up for another hour and a half, it was already close to the snow line, and the temperature was a little low. Fortunately, the soldiers and bandits wore tight clothes and did not feel the cold.

Chen Yulou ordered them to rest for an hour, eat some dry food, and replenish their strength. When they reached the top of the mountain, they would not be able to rest.

Luo Changfeng swallowed the big cake in his mouth, looked at the red girl beside him, and said, "How is it? Is it okay?"

The red girl glanced at Luo Changfeng, took a bite of the big cake, and said vaguely: "Don't underestimate people, my physical strength is no worse than you guys."

Luo Changfeng nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I respect you, Miss Red, for being a man."

"coax"

"Hey Hey……"

The group of thieves and soldiers around who heard this burst into laughter, especially Luo Laowai, who laughed so badly.

Hua Ling beside the red girl said happily: "Brother Changfeng will also be joking, the sun will come out from the north tomorrow."

Luo Changfeng said as if nothing had happened: "In the fluffy hemp, if you don't support yourself, the white sand is in nirvana, and it is black with it."

After Luo Changfeng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Yulou intentionally or unintentionally.

The corner of Chen Yulou's mouth twitched, and he said, "Hey, you have to make this clear. Who do you mean by 'nirvana'?"

Luo Changfeng didn't look back and said, "He knows who I'm talking about."

"Hey, you bastard." Chen Yulou shook his head with a laugh, saying, is he that immature?

The old foreigner was confused and asked softly to Partridge Whistle: "Senior Brother, what does Brother Changfeng mean? What is it, Baisha's?"

Hua Ling rolled his eyes at the old foreigner, and complained mercilessly: "If you don't listen to me telling you to read more books on weekdays, you won't even be able to understand what other people are saying."

"Brother Changfeng's sentence means that ponchograss grows in the hemp field, and it can grow straight without support, but when white sand is mixed into the black soil, it becomes as black as the black soil. This sentence is similar to "near Zhu Those who are red, those who are close to ink are black' have one meaning."

"Oh...hehe..." The old foreigner scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, and said, "I can't help it. I just dozed off as soon as I saw the densely packed words in the book. I can't do anything!"

"..."

An hour later, the team set off again. This time, everyone mustered up their energy and wanted to cross the snow-capped mountains in one breath.
