"Caverns? Is it so fast? I turned cautiously and looked back at the old man.

"Ah, in about ten minutes, we'll be able to speed up when we're out of this water. But for now, you'd better be a little patient! A word of advice to you, turn around slowly and don't look at the pythons, so they won't be looking at you. The old man took a box of cigarettes out of his trouser pocket, took one out and lit it, and then took a pleasant puff.

It seems that he has become accustomed to seeing him like that.

Hearing his words, everyone began to slowly twist their necks and look back to the dinghy.

Sure enough, as the old man said, when we didn't look at the pythons, the pythons also withdrew their gaze, as if we didn't exist at all.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But now, we don't dare to look around anymore.

Everyone stared at the front of the dinghy without squinting, and the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath.

The vegetation ahead is more vigorous.

Some of the thorns stretched down the branches of the trees into the river, making the already modest river even narrower, and even occasionally touching the heads of the people.

If......

If it's just lush vegetation, that's nothing.

But just now, I suddenly felt that I had touched the unknown thorn above my head.

It seems, it seems to be alive, trying to crawl into my hair!!

My heart shrank, and the cold hairs on my whole body instantly rose.

Cautiously look up......

The thorny tip shrank back and returned to its original appearance.

It all happened so quickly that I wondered, could it be my delusion?

I blinked and looked up again.

The cool breeze blew, and countless thorns swayed gently with the wind.

Other than that, nothing happened.

"Could it be...... Did I really read it wrong? I muttered to myself in some confusion.

"Huh? What did you read wrong? Zhang Qiang heard my words and asked in a low voice.

"Nothing." I withdrew my gaze and said casually.

Then, there was silence on the dinghy.

The light was getting darker and darker.

The atmosphere seemed a little oppressive for a while.

Ten minutes later, the old man suddenly stepped on the accelerator.

Everyone was caught off guard and leaned back.

The speed of the dinghy suddenly increased.

"Boss, have we already driven out of the area you mentioned?" Wang Yi looked around and asked in a low voice.

"Huh. That's right, you can talk normally now. There are seven bends in the river ahead, and after the last bend, you will be able to see the entrance to the cave. The old man pointed not far away and explained, while looking up at the sky: "You are lucky today, if you are half an hour late, I will not take you to the Forest of No Return." ”

Ever since the old man got into the dinghy, his attitude has taken a 360-degree turn.

Obviously, when I was in the tin house, I was still cowardly like something, but when I got into the water, I completely changed all of a sudden.

Could it be because he thinks we're all in the dinghy now, so there's no way to threaten him?

Listening to the old man's words, I couldn't help but frown secretly.

Of course, his slightly arrogant tone was naturally heard by others.

Zhang Qiang was suddenly a little unhappy.

He raised his eyebrows and squinted at the old man: "Why?" Didn't you just move quite numbly? I didn't see that you didn't want to, why did it change now? ”

The old man sensed the displeasure of a few of us, and quickly coughed lightly.

He softened his tone and explained with a smile, "I didn't mean that. That is true. Whoever wants to go to the Forest of No Return can only pass by daylight. If it's night, hey...... There are too many uncertain risk factors out there. Even people who have lived here for many years are at risk of losing their lives there. I just looked at the sky, and now after sending you over, I can get back to the ferry just before the sun goes down, and if it's half an hour late, by the time I get back, it'll be completely dark. I can't afford to lose my life for business, can I? ”

"I see." My eyes twinkled.

So that means that soon after we reach the Forest of No Return, there will be a rather dangerous night......

When I think of this, my heart can't help but become heavy.

When the other teammates heard this, their expressions softened a lot.

As the speed of the dinghy increased, the surrounding scenery quickly moved backwards.

Soon, as we turned the sixth bend, the outline of the mountains began to slowly appear on both sides of the river.

It's not a mountain covered in green vegetation, but a mountain of rocky rocks, bare rocks, except for the occasional weed that emerges from the cracks in the rocks.

"Turn a little more and you'll see the entrance to the cave. I may warn you in advance that the height of the cavern is only half a metre high, and in some places it may be lower, and that it is better for you to lie down in the dinghy for a while, lest the stones on it knock your head off. The old man looked at the bend in front of him, and his voice suddenly became serious: "From the next bend to the section of the river leaving the cave, the water flow is very fast, but some people did not listen to persuasion before, so they had to stand up. Results ......"

"What happened?" Du Deming asked curiously.

The old man glanced at him, sneered, and said, "As a result, before he could fully stand up, the protruding stone in front of him knocked the man's body and head into his home, and the blood soaked the entire dinghy, hey......"

"I'll go, it's too scary, isn't it?" The corners of Zhang Qiang's mouth moved: "Then let's lie down for a while, don't raise your head." ”

Of course, in fact, after listening to the old man's words, we all know what to do without him saying it.

So the end result was that as soon as the dinghy had turned the seventh corner, the six of them all leaned on each other's bodies and lay down in the dinghy.

Although there was some dust on the bottom of the dinghy, there was still so much to take care of at this time.

"In seven or eight seconds, we'll be in the cavern. Hehe, don't worry, in fact, in a minute or so, we will enter the scope of the Forest of No Return. The old man said, his body was already lying in the dinghy, he tilted his head slightly, and looked in our direction: "Let's say in advance, I will send you to the bank of the river in the Forest of No Return and you will have to rush back immediately, and you can go the rest of the way!" ”

"Got it, don't worry." The corners of my mouth moved, and I replied angrily,

As soon as he finished speaking, the light in front of him dimmed.

A faint chill rushed from the front in an instant.

The dinghy we were in had already entered the cave.
