They floated on the water to rest for a while, and when Iron Bull gradually regained his strength, the brothers swam to the left front.

This trip lasted another twenty minutes, and he had to stop halfway to let Tie Niu take a breath.

Finally swimming to the bank of the river, Poplar dragged the iron ox ashore with him, and he was slumped on the ground on all fours, and there was no time to observe the surrounding scene, and the brothers fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

In front of me was a wide lake, surrounded by high mountains, and there was a faint mist floating on the surface of the lake.

Poplar let Tie Niu rest on the shore of the lake, climbed up a mountain beside him, came down after a while, and said to Tie Niu: "This should be a reservoir, and there is a dam not far away, let's get to the dam and find someone to ask what kind of place it is!"

Tie Niu nodded, stood up strongly, felt soreness and weakness, couldn't help patting his stomach, and said, "I think we have to get something to eat first, otherwise we really don't have the strength to climb the mountain!"

Bai Yang knew that he choked on water last night, and his body function would definitely be damaged, so he said: "This is also easy, wait for me to go into the water and tie two fish up! The water in this reservoir is so clear, and the fish raised must not have any fishy smell, let's eat sashimi directly!"

"That's all there is to it!" replied Iron Bull. When he was in the army, he did wilderness survival training, not to mention sashimi, and he also ate raw snake meat and live insects.

Poplar first sharpens a pointed wooden stick with the dagger of an iron ox, and then carries the stick into the water.

With his ability, in a few minutes, he had already pierced two big fish.

The fish was indeed big and fat, and Poplar scraped the scales with a dagger and cut open the belly of the fish, washed it clean in the water, and then cut it into thin pieces, and the brothers ate it separately.

As long as the sashimi is washed clean enough, there is not much fishy smell, but there is a fresh and sweet taste, otherwise there would not be so many people who love to eat sashimi and shrimp chips.

In particular, the fish raised in this clear reservoir are even more tender and delicious, and the poplar iron ox has no reluctance at all, so the two fish are eaten cleanly.

Iron Bull obviously felt much better, so the brothers climbed up the hill next to them, first looked at the direction of the dam, and then hurried along the edge of the pond in that direction.

In order not to take a long detour, if the water shore was steep, the brothers simply jumped into the lake and swam over.

It took two hours to reach the dam.

The dam staff saw that the two men were drenched in water and were so shocked that they hurriedly asked what they were doing.

The Poplar Iron Ox handed the dam staff a work card in a waterproof bag, briefly stating that they had been investigating deep in the mountains, and had fallen into a hole in the ground and had to swim out of the dark river.

The words shocked several staff members in disbelief, but the work cards of the two were in front of them, even if they didn't believe it, they couldn't believe it.

Poplar also explained that there were several companions trapped in the cave and that they had to find their way to rescue them as soon as possible.

However, none of the staff had ever heard of the name "Rakshasa Ghost", so they had to take the Poplar Iron Ox to a nearby mountain village to ask the villagers.

Most of the villagers had never heard of the "Rakshasa Valley", except for an elderly man who said, "The Rakshasa Valley seems to be on the other side of the earth, and there is no way to pass through us!"

Poplar hurriedly asked what the crack in the earth was. The reservoir worker who brought them to the village said: "The so-called earth crack is a bottomless canyon, because it is not too wide, it feels like the earth has cracked a crack, so the mountain people call it the earth crack!"

Poplar thought to himself: I swam along the underground river for nearly an hour last night, except for the first few hundred meters in the extremely deep underground, and then began to slowly go upstream. And last night they didn't feel that there was any surface in the middle of the way, which means that the dark river must have passed under the crack in the earth. It can be inferred from this that this "bottomless" crack in the earth should be very close to the fairy cave.

Thinking so carefully, Poplar asked the villagers to lead them both to the crack in the earth.

The people in the mountains were simple and enthusiastic, and there were reservoir staff accompanying the poplar and the iron ox, and the so-called earth crack was not very far from the village, so two young villagers volunteered to accompany the poplar iron cow to the earth crack.

It took two hours for the group to reach the crack in the earth.

The crack in the earth runs from south to north, and there is no end in sight on either side.

Naturally, there are many mountains and mountains on both sides of the crack, but even these mountains and mountains are divided into two sides by this crack in the earth, and it feels like the whole earth has suddenly cracked a big crack.

The probe looked into the crack in the ground, and it was indeed bottomless.

The width of the crack is indeed very narrow compared to its length, but no matter how narrow it is, it is more than ten meters.

It is no wonder that the people in the mountains do not know the names of the terrain on the other side of the crack, because it is impossible for them to cross this crack and go to the other side of the crack to hunt in the mountains.

Even the poplars and the iron bull have a hard time jumping through this crack.

However, the two of them had a solution, so they did not worry about this crack, but carefully inspected the mountain landscape opposite the crack.

It didn't take long for Poplar to point to a large area of towering mountain peaks and say, "I think the fairy cave should be in that area!"

"Why?" Iron Bull immediately asked.

"Because the Immortal Cave is surrounded by high mountains, it just surrounds the Rakshasa Valley in the middle! And yesterday we were swimming in the water for no more than an hour, which means that the Immortal Valley will never be too far away from here! But if you look at the mountains on the opposite side, except for that peak, at least as far as we can see, there is no more scene of peaks towering! So I think that mountain peak is probably the place where the Immortal Cave is located!"

Tie Niu thought about it carefully, nodded quickly, and said, "Your inference must be correct! Besides, that mountain peak is not far from here, let's rush over and take a look first, if that mountain peak is not, then go back and find another way!"

"If that mountain peak is not, it will be difficult for the two of us to search carefully in this mountain, so we can only go out from the mountain first, and then rush to Baoji to enter the mountain along the original road! In this way, I don't know how long it will take, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to hold on for so long!" Bai Yang couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing.

"It should be no problem, after all, there is that dark river in the fairy cave, and there are many small transparent fish in the dark river, and they can catch those transparent fish to eat, but I hope those transparent fish are not poisonous!"

The villagers who led them into the mountain listened to his conversation and couldn't help but ask: "You seem to be very sure that you can easily pass over the crack in the ground, do you want to build a simple wooden bridge over the crack in the ground? That is troublesome enough! There are quite a lot of trees over 10 meters in this mountain, but it is not easy to transport the big trees here, and then firmly stretch the big trees to the other side of the canyon!"

He was telling the truth, but Poplar smiled mysteriously and said, "You want to know how we passed, wait until tomorrow to come and watch us pass!"

The villager was about to answer, but Tie Niu asked, "Why are you waiting for tomorrow? Let's grab the time, let's just go over today!"

"Not today!" Poplar shook his head, "First of all, we didn't bring any tools empty-handed today, and secondly, your body is damaged, so you have to rest for the night anyway!"

"It's okay with me, let's hurry up, Senior Brother Xiang and they can wait for us for one less day!"

Bai Yang still shook his head and said, "But now it's almost dark, and it's easy for us to get lost when we enter the mountain, so we still have to wait until dawn before we can hurry!"

When Tie Niu heard this, he was right, so he didn't say more.

The brothers followed the villagers back to the village and begged for their help in finding some thick hemp rope.

The villagers' families are very poor, and they can't find a long and strong hemp rope.

Poplar could only let the iron ox rest in the village, and he rushed to the dam by himself, and asked the dam staff for two thick hemp ropes that could be connected together for more than 50 meters, and two rolls of nylon rope just in case.

Plus a machete, a backpack, and a water bottle, and return to the village to join the Iron Ox.

They spent the night at the village chief's house, and when they woke up the next morning, the village chief's wife had already prepared pancakes for them to bring.

Poplar Iron Ox thanked him for his kindness, brought a kettle, backpack and dry food, and Tie Niu hung the thick hemp rope on his shoulder, and quickly marched towards the direction of the earth crack.

Some villagers wanted to see how the two of them crossed the crack in the earth, so they followed them along.

These mountain people were originally accustomed to walking mountain roads, but following the poplar iron ox, they were out of breath and couldn't catch up, and it was inevitable that they would secretly wonder how these two young people from the city could walk so fast on the mountain roads.

When he reached the crack in the earth, he saw the Iron Ox standing sideways on the edge of the Grand Canyon, and the Poplar ran a few steps to the Iron Ox, and suddenly flew up.

The Iron Bull stretched out his hands and slammed them on the soles of Poplar's feet. The long body of the poplar flew more than ten meters away like a meteor catching the moon in the sky, and landed lightly and skillfully on the other side of the crack in the earth.

Only a few villagers were stunned and speechless, and then saw that Tie Niu first threw the backpack, water bottle and thick hemp rope over the cracks in the ground, and the poplar was firmly in his hand.

After that, Poplar grabbed the thick hemp rope in one hand, and the iron ox held the other end of the hemp rope. As the poplar suddenly dragged the hemp rope hard, the body of the iron bull also flew up, and was dragged by the poplar through the cracks of the ground, and landed firmly in front of the poplar.

Several villagers looked at each other and couldn't breathe, thinking that these two young people were not mortal fetuses, but the reincarnation of Arhats and gods.
