dragon hunter

Chapter 437

I wiped my sweat, leaned against a tree, squinted my eyes, and looked at the vast mountains in the distance.

Today is the third day of entering the Kunlun Mountains. Even though I have prepared myself before coming here, the difficult conditions here are still somewhat beyond my expectations.

"Fatty Master was fooled. If I had known it was such a shitty environment, I wouldn't have followed Fatty Master if I killed him." Panting heavily, Fatty Wang sat on a rock and complained.

"It's not that you are greedy, and you only want to come here to hunt for treasure." Ghost Detective Xu fanned himself with his hat.

"Isn't Fatty reading too many novels and being fooled? What kind of sword fairy, treasures of heaven and earth are all bullshit. After walking so far, I didn't see anything except stones." Fatty Wang looked dejected. .

I chuckled, I didn't expect that Fatty Wang was thinking about these things, even though I have seen all kinds of strange evil spirits, I still don't believe in the fairy tales in novels.

"We came here this time to find the spirit of the dragon veins. Do you think it will be like the TV series, jumping off a random cliff to get martial arts secrets?" I said casually.

In fact, Fatty Wang can't be blamed for wishful thinking. In Chinese legends, Kunlun Mountain is endowed with too much mystery.

"It's getting late, shall we find a place to camp?" Ghost Detective Xu squinted his eyes and looked at the sky.

I took out my phone and checked the time. It was just after four o'clock in the afternoon, but the climate in the mountains is changeable, so it is common sense to set up camp earlier.

"By the way, does your mobile phone have a signal?" Fatty Wang stretched his neck to ask.

"Since this morning, the signal has been getting weaker and weaker, and now there is no signal." I looked at the phone screen.

"Then if something happens, won't it be called every day should not be done, and the earth will not work?" Fatty Wang's fat face flashed with worry.

"You crow's mouth, can't you look forward to it?" I glared at Fatty Wang.

"Bah, bah, yes, I hope we will go well this time." Fatty Wang slapped his mouth lightly a few times.

As soon as the words fell, a woman's cry for help came from a distance, the voice was intermittent and somewhat indistinct.

We look at each other, and we can see surprise in each other's eyes.

After all, after three days of arduous climbing, we are already far away from inhabited places. Even travel friends will not go so far, otherwise, if there is an accident, we will not even be able to make a call for help.

"What's the situation, fortunately it's not midnight, otherwise the fat man must have thought he encountered a ghost." Fatty Wang listened attentively for a moment, then said in surprise.

"Would you like to go over and have a look, maybe someone is really in danger." Ghost Detective Xu tentatively suggested.

I held my breath and listened sideways. The wind was so loud that I could only vaguely hear that the woman who was calling for help was not very old.

"Go, go and check the situation first." I stood up straight, identified the direction, and walked towards the place where the voice came from.

Passing through a rocky slope, a cliff appeared in front of her. A plainly dressed woman in her 20s was half-kneeling on the ground, clutching a thin arm tightly.

Seeing us, the woman in the mountain shouted hurriedly as if she had seen a savior: "Please, help me, my grandpa is about to fall."

My expression tightened, and I walked over there quickly, and saw an old man with gray hair hanging on the edge of the cliff, if not for one arm being pulled by a woman in the mountain, he would have fallen down.

It is important to save people, I didn't have time to think about it, I rushed to grab the other arm of the old man, and together with the woman in the mountain, pulled the old man up.

"Thank you, thank you young man." The old man was in a mess, thanking him non-stop.

The other party spoke with an obvious local accent. After listening for a while, I realized that the other party was thanking me. I smiled and said it was okay.

The old man introduced himself, saying that his surname was Sun, and he was a ginseng digger. This time he took his granddaughter into the mountain to dig ginseng, but he almost fell off the cliff.

"Thank you. If I hadn't met some kind-hearted people, I, a woman, would not be able to pull my grandfather back." Sun Xiaomei kept thanking her.

"It's alright, we're just a prostitute, and it's just a matter of raising our hands." Fatty Wang probably saw the girl in the mountain, who was a bit pretty, but the old problem was repeated, so he leaned over to brag shamelessly.

I thought that the old grandson was a ginseng digger, and he should be familiar with the nearby mountains and rivers, so I handed him a cigarette and humbly asked him for advice.

The old grandson took the cigarette, put it under his nose and smelled it, grinned, showing his yellow teeth, and said a good cigarette.

Seeing me asking him for advice on the surrounding terrain, the old grandson flashed self-satisfaction in his eyes, puffed out his thin chest, and said somewhat boastfully: "Brother, it's not that my old grandson is bragging, if you talk about the nearby terrain I understand, you asked my old grandson, but you asked the right person."

Hearing the other party's boast, my eyes flashed with joy. Although the dragon vein map that Fatty Wang took was very detailed, it was not the real thing after all. When we really entered the Kunlun Mountains, we discovered that even if there is a map guide, we want to It is extremely difficult to find the main vein of Kunlun.

Just like we have been walking for three days and three nights now, according to the dragon vein map, we are just circling around the periphery. It would be great if we could find a local guide.

I was not polite to the old grandson, I picked up a branch, drew a simple sketch on the ground, pointed to the upper right corner of the sketch with the branch, and asked, "Uncle Sun, if we want to go to this place, what should we do?" Walk?"

"Are you going back to Dragon Valley?" Old Suntou looked at us with weird eyes.

"This place is called Huilong Valley?" I looked excited. The sketch I drew just now is just a small part of the dragon vein map. The place called Huilong Valley is a very important relay location.

"Looking at your age, you should be those kind of donkey friends. I would like to advise you that it is enough to play around. Huilonggu is not a good place." The old grandson said earnestly.

"Oh? Is there something special about that place?" Seeing that the old grandson misunderstood us as donkey friends, I went along with it and didn't bother to explain.

The old grandson secretly looked around, leaned over cautiously, lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you, only our diggers know about this. I heard that there are mandrills near Huilong Valley, which eat people!"

My eyelids twitched, and I looked at the old grandson's expression seriously, and saw that he looked serious, and he didn't look like he was joking.

"Mandrills can eat people, who did you hear?" I asked in a questioning tone.

Speaking of which, I have seen mandrills before. It is a monkey-like animal. It may be a bit wild, but it will never eat people.

"Many ginseng diggers have seen mandrills, with green faces and fangs, with sharp and long teeth. Lao Zhou, who has been a ginseng digger for decades, was eaten by mandrills, and only one thigh was picked up. That's miserable. "The old grandson said solemnly.

"Mandrill, blue-faced fangs?" I frowned subconsciously. It seems that mandrills have nothing to do with blue-faced fangs, right?
"Grandpa, it doesn't matter whether the mandrill eats people or not, as long as it dares to appear, we will fight both of them." In order to show off in front of Shan Meizi, Fatty Wang insisted on bragging shamelessly.

Ghost detective Xu Zheng was smoking a cigarette, and when he heard Fatty Wang bragging shamelessly, he choked on the cigarette in his throat and coughed for a long time.

I was powerless to stare at Fatty Wang. Although I knew the virtues of this guy, I still felt my eyelids twitch so badly that I wished I could punch his fat face.

Seeing Shan Meizi blinking her eyes and looking at her flickeringly, Fatty Wang was even more excited, making up some of our previous experiences, adding fuel and vinegar, and shaking them all out. In those stories, he turned the tide and became The omnipotent hero.

The old grandson took a puff of cigarette, looked at Fatty Wang with weird eyes, and then at us. Even if he didn't speak, I could tell from the other person's eyes that he must be thinking, that kid is Not sick?
Shan Meizi covered her mouth and burst out laughing. She naturally didn't believe Fatty Wang's bragging, but she was very interested in the stories he told.

After getting a response, Fatty Wang was like being spat out, spitting all over the place and speaking more vigorously.

I couldn't afford to pat my forehead, and I didn't bother to pay attention to Fatty Wang. I grabbed Lao Sun's head and asked how to get back to Longgu.

The old grandson didn't speak, and flicked the cigarette ash with his withered fingers, and kept staring at me with weird eyes, which made me a little embarrassed.

I rubbed my nose in embarrassment, knowing in my heart that this old man probably classified me and Fatty Wang into the same category in his heart, and he became a mentally ill person.

But no matter what is weird in front of me, I must find the spirit of the dragon veins, so this time I will go to Dragon Valley.

Seeing that the old grandson looked like he was not going to speak, I scratched my head anxiously, not knowing how to explain it to him.

The secret of the dragon's veins must never be revealed, but using donkey friends as an excuse is a little weaker.

After thinking for a long time with a sad face, I finally found a passable excuse, coughed, met the strange gaze of Old Sun, and said with a straight face: "Uncle Sun, in fact, we are not donkey friends, but a group of scientific researchers. I came here this time to obtain samples of mandrills."

Fatty Wang was blowing vigorously. When he heard what I said just now, he was like a chicken being strangled. He giggled a few times. Seeing that the girl was blinking and staring at him, he immediately coughed twice and said seriously: "Yes, we are a group of scientific researchers."

Ghost Detective Xu guessed it was hard work, turned around and walked aside, with his back to us, his shoulders trembling, no need to ask, he must be snickering.

Embarrassment flashed in my eyes, in fact, I also know that this emergency excuse is a bit lame, but I can't pinch the old grandson's neck and ask him how to go back to Longgu, right?
The old grandson didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he glanced at us, took a few puffs of cigarettes, and then said slowly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's really that mandrill that's terrifying, someone I've never seen before. , it’s beyond comprehension, the old man can’t watch you die for nothing, can he?”

I was anxious all of a sudden, stood up, rolled my eyes a few times, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I thought of a way.
