Burning Mountains, Grape Valley.

The Grape Valley is the largest valley in the lower part of the mountain. It is long, narrow, and gentle, with cliffs on both sides facing each other. The valley is surrounded by streams and shaded by greenery. It has a permanent population of about 9,000 people and is named after the grapes that are abundant.

It will be the off-season because the grapes are ripe and picked, and it is cold in the farmhouses close to each other.

Wen Gu arrived here early in the morning, two miles east of the mouth of the ditch, at the foot of the flames, where the terrain was gentle, making it the best place to climb the mountain – thanks again to the outdoor group!

He was carrying a bag with plenty of drinking water in addition to basic tools. As mentioned earlier, there are six or seven people who don't know who is behind him.

He didn't care. He picked a random person. After asking for it, he was ready within 40 minutes and did not want to pay it back. In the jargon of Beijing's powerful clique, it's called: building good relationships.

Before Wen Gu set off, he cautiously made a turn in the ditch, where the signs of erosion by the fire aura were even more obvious. Grape trellises throughout the canyon and poplars around them weaken their vitality.

The red clouds in the sky are still hovering, just waiting for it to gather, solidify, and accumulate to a certain point, and then jump down in a few minutes. At that time, the Peach Blossom Paradise at the foot of the Flaming Mountain would not know what it would look like.

Wen Gu regretted that, in addition to the abnormal circumstances, people always had a tolerant and kind attitude towards the disappearance of beauty.

......

"Smack!"

"Bang!"

Gucci jumped up and stepped on either side of the mountain. He walked a few meters in mid-air. Finally, he held his breath and jumped over the broken path of sharp stones and landed steadily.

"Shouting ......"

He breathed a sigh of relief to balance the water and energy in his body so that it wouldn't evaporate too quickly.

The total length of this volcano is 100 kilometers, and he only walked 10 kilometers, which made him miserable. The outside feel was nice. Once in the mountains, the moment is different. The presence of the sun has never been so strong, as if there is only one red sun between heaven and earth, radiating heat wildly.

To make matters worse, the aura of fire is getting stronger and more aggressive. In order to avoid provocations, he must slow down the running speed of the aura.

There was only one reason why Zhang Nawei's gang sought help from Wen Gu, and that was that what they were looking for could only be found when they felt the aura. They may have a road map in their hands, but Wen Gu didn't have flies flying around, and of course he didn't have much hope.

After walking for more than half an hour, he entered an aisle.

The passage winds like a wartime trench, wide enough to be ridden on horseback, with mottled and broken walls on either side leading directly into the heart of the mountain.

It didn't take long for the low mountain to suddenly become like an axe splitting into a single blade, and it rushed straight towards the other side. The passage also gets narrower and narrower, and finally only one person is allowed to pass through.

Wen Gu looked around. Except for the sky line overhead, the surrounding mountains are ochre-colored. If you're in a burnt brick kiln, your eyes are filled with flames.

"Wheezing... Wheezing ......"

With his physical strength, he still had some rough breathing. He paused for a moment, drank a large bottle of water, and estimated the distance back and forth.

Find another hour and don't come back right away!

As we move on, the road becomes more and more difficult, and the gaps between the mountains no longer allow people to pass. In the narrowest places, only the backpack can be taken off, and the air can be lifted sideways to rub and squeeze.

After walking for a few miles, Wen Gu suddenly stopped and found a large shadow under his feet, no longer dark brown sandstone. He looked up, but there was a huge rock hanging between the two walls. It may seem strange that the sun shines through the cracks in the rocks, casting a shadow over the huge rocks at the bottom of the valley.

"Huh?"

Wen Gu blinked, a little surprised, not because of the boulder, but just feeling a little cold. He quickly came to his senses. The mountain is barren, the birds and animals are gone, and the dry heat is like death. Where does the coolness come from?

He immediately looked around, and finally found a gap of half meters on the left side of the gable in the shadows.

It was dark inside and had some odor. He hesitated for a moment, still holding his backpack in one hand, and climbed in.

"Sasha Vujasic!"

Countless gravels creaked beneath me, causing pain in my abdomen. Gucci crawled for a while. The space seemed to be a little taller, and it became half-kneeling. Then it turns into a cat's waist and finally stands upright, but it is in an open cave.

The cave was dark and cold, and there was no light to see. He took out his flashlight and shook it casually. It is about the size of a basketball court and is enclosed on all sides and covered by gables.

When I looked up again, I could see something shaking.

Wen Gu pinned the lamp to one place. Look closely. The girl suddenly grinned, and saw that on the black ceiling, there was a puppet-like weight, and iron ropes hung on it, still swinging slightly.

The light happens to shine in front of a puppet, shaking out a red-pupiled baby face and a bloody mouth.

Roar.

Gu Jing read aloud, only to hear a "sniff". A green light flashed across the roof of the cave, making a tinkling sound of iron cables. He grabbed the fallen puppet and carefully placed it on the ground.

The weight of this thing is very light. It is made entirely according to the size of the average baby. I don't know what kind of material it is, but thousands of years later, it's still relatively intact.

There are many strange lines carved on the surface, similar to the marks on a woman's chest, and there is a notch on the side that seems to be open.

"Uh......"

Gumet was entangled. He was either scared or a little disgusted. Who knows what's inside?

"Sasha Vujasic!"

"Squeak!"

At this moment, suddenly a slight sound came from the darkness, as if it was in one place, and it seemed to come from all directions.

Gu Shi listened carefully and suddenly raised his head. Only from the broken iron rope did he keep crawling down strange insects. Each is only half the size of a fist, covered in a black carapace, with eight serrations, lotus-like mouthparts, and secretes a trace of mucus.

As if they had been caught from the dim abyss, these insects fell to the ground, suddenly piled up, and ran towards Wen Gu.

"Boom!"

Gucci stomped on the ground, his aura spinning wildly, and flung it out.

"Squeak!"

The first few beetles felt a strong pressure rush in and suddenly ate a meal. But then, the thirst for blood and food immediately broke through the repression and became even more insane.

What a man!

Gu Shibeier didn't even fight, threw down the puppet, turned around and ran.

The insect colony is increasing. They chase each other, and some strange insects climb up the puppet. After eating, they quickly gnawed into pieces.

Plump!

Thick black juice rolled out of a strange baby.

The baby was about two years old, with broken hands and feet and burn marks on his body. Not like carrion, not like a mummy, I don't know how many years it has been preserved, flesh and blood mixed with a strange oil, like a solidified dying expression, clearly visible, but hideous.

Of course, Gu Jing couldn't see it, but just ran to the entrance and scolded in his heart:

Damn hole.

There was no way, first the cat bent on the waist, then half-kneeled, and finally leaned down to crawl. He didn't keep it anymore, and the two green rays behind the house chased the beetles through one by one.

"Poof!"

"Squeak!"

Then, it was drowned out by the dense sound of chewing and crawling, as if eating the same kind of flesh.

Wen Gu's spine was cold, and he crawled forward. He could easily see a lamp in front of him. He immediately accelerated, leaped forward with both hands, and rolled on the spot.

"Bang!"

As soon as he came out of the hole, there was a strange sound in his ears.

When I stood up and looked back, I saw several insects exposed to the scorching sun. They immediately turned into pus, and the stench was terrible. The beetle in the back noticed that Soso's tentacles seemed to indicate that he couldn't move forward.

After a long day, I finally came back slowly unwillingly, and it was a dark silence.

What a wicked thing!

Wen Gu has all kinds of fears. What is this place? What the hell are those beetles?

It is said that since he practiced, he had few opponents, but he was beaten several times in a few days in Huozhou, although they were all defeated by the group. At that time, it was still a little unfair to the baby, and the baby was sad. The baby feels pain and dares to stand up.

Accompanying this escape was Zhang Wei's association with a mysterious place in the cave, which may have been handed down by descendants. What they are looking for is also the remains of their ancestors.

“......“。

Wen Gu looked ahead, it was still a vast red mountain, and he couldn't see his head with one eye. He had a gut feeling that this was not the final destination, but a place halfway through, and that the real secret was still deep in the mountains.

However, he did not dare to act rashly.
