In the afternoon in the woods, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, leaving a few shadows. After some self-struggle, Chen Tao finally chose to face all this, and when his hand touched the gun, it was as if a boulder had fallen down heavily in his heart. At that moment, the whole person was a lot more relaxed. Now, he stood on top of this boulder, looking at the besieged city that was close in front of him but could not be touched.

When Uncle Long saw that Chen Tao had finally made a decision, he was not only overjoyed, but also exhaled deeply.

When Chen Tao struggled inside, his heart was also unsettled. This child is now the greatest hope of the Chen family, although he has a little bit of softness in his heart that he doesn't want him to bear all this, but he is more expectant in his heart.

The Chen family, including the entire Spirit League, has reached the most critical time, once Chen Tao gives up, the efforts of the Chen family, the Li family, and even the Chen family in the Spirit League for several generations will be in vain, and they can't afford to lose. Fortunately, this child did not disappoint himself after all.

Uncle Long didn't speak, just looked at Chen Tao, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, he wanted to tell this strong child, don't be afraid, you are not alone.

Chen Tao didn't understand Uncle Long's intentions. He smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted the back of Uncle Long's hand. In many cases, words do not need to be said directly, a look, an action, you can tell the other person what you want to express.

Chen Tao exhaled lightly, eased the emotions just now, and wanted to pick up the gun, but unexpectedly, it sank and almost didn't hold it steady.

"I'll go, it's quite weighty." Chen Tao muttered.

"Of course, this is a real gun, not a plastic toy in a child's hand!" Boss Zhang's big fat face came over again and said, "I wasted a lot of effort to get these things from the black market channels, and it cost me a lot of money!" ”

With disbelieving expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Tao took the gun and bullets, and Uncle Long reached out to take them, teaching him how to use them while checking the safety of the guns and bullets. Chen Tao listened very seriously, but in his heart, he still hoped that it would be best not to use this thing after going down, no, he would never use this thing in his life!

This black box is different from the previous ones, with three layers. Remove the first layer of guns and bullets, and there is a row of daggers on the second layer of the box, this thing Chen Tao is still relatively familiar with, after all, he also learned some hands and feet from his grandfather when he was a child, including how to use daggers.

On the third floor, there are some explosives, L-pipes, and cold fireworks. Everyone packed up, checked the number of backpacks and equipment, and after confirming that it was correct, Uncle Long shouted at Haozi, and Haozi and Liu Laohan walked over here.

At this time, Chen Tao understood why Uncle Long and Uncle Wang and the three of them frowned just now, because this box of equipment could not be seen by Liu Laohan, so he asked Haozi to lure him away.

Haozi's backpack is in the hands of the mountain ghost, and his equipment is loaded for him by the mountain ghost. Chen Tao noticed that the mountain ghost didn't hold a gun when he loaded the mouse, which made him feel a little strange, could it be that he was thinking a little wrong before? Or is there something else?

When Haozi approached, the mountain ghost threw the equipment bag to Li Hao, Haozi took it and put it on his shoulder, and Chen Tao came to Haozi, pushed Haozi with his elbow, and quietly gestured with his hand and said, "Hey, hey, why don't you use this?"

"Oh, I don't need that!" Haozi glanced at Chen Tao's gesture, knowing what he was asking, and said lightly in a suppressed voice.

"Don't you need it?" Chen Tao wondered in his heart: "What kind of trouble is this?" ”

He remembered that when he carried the bag to Haozi before, it was heavy, and his head was excited, and he said, "Could it be that this kid has a guy in his own hands?" When did he have it? ”

Brother Ah Cheng moved a few large boxes to the car again, covered the big black canvas, and everyone held it in their hands, and there were only flashlights, cups and other things exposed. After checking the watch hand and finishing the rest and inspection, he called Liu Laohan to set off to the depths of the mountain.

The forests of these mountains are very well-preserved primeval jungles, and the forests are full of large and small vegetation, high and low pines and cypresses, and strangely enough, there are many willow trees. The trunk of the tree was entwined with vines and hung with a thick layer of moss. Along the way, the ground was full of dead wood, dead branches and rotten leaves, and countless pine towers buried in the pile of leaves. The size is not small, Chen Tao picked up a big head and gestured, which can be two-thirds of an adult's arm.

"I want to kiss and want to make my wrist so soft, hey!"

"I can't hold a bowl with chopsticks, ahh

"I want to kiss and think about my heart, ahhh

"Boiled dumplings and laid a pot of yam eggs, yay, yay!"

"The first time, sister, you're not there, hey!"

"Your mother hit me with two pots of lids, yay!"

"I want to kiss and think about my heart, ahh

"I haven't eaten a mouthful of rice for three days, yay, yay!"

Liu Laohan took the lead in front of everyone with a cigarette gun, and sang a folk song by himself, with a hint of the unique sharpness of the peasant old man in his loud voice, and the high and loud singing echoed for a long time in this dense forest, which made people's hearts feel relieved.

"The eighteenth layer of the white curling heart, ahhhh

"Sister, do you love the person who suffers, ya'eryo, ya'eryo!"

"The kang kang of the soil of the Mao'an hermitage, I put a leather jacket on it!"

"The snowflakes fell to the ground and turned into that water, and until death, you will also take your sister with you!"

"The two of us are good together, one pair and one pair, don't you regret the lawn cutter rolling your head!"

"The lawn cutter is rolled down, no, I don't regret it!"

Everyone followed behind Liu Laohan, listening to folk songs while paying attention to the changes in the surrounding trees and civil trees and the ups and downs of the mountains.

Since people are here, then take it as a show, anyway, Liu Laohan doesn't know what the real geological survey is for, in fact, Chen Tao and the others are not very clear, but in general, there are only some things. All they did was look at the mountains and find a suitable location to make a hole.

On one side of the equipment bag is a folding shovel and a kettle, and on the other side is a Luoyang shovel and a steel pipe. Every time he walked a while, Uncle Long would beckon everyone to stop and take the Luoyang shovel into the ground to explore the soil.

When Liu Laohan saw the guy in everyone's hands, he couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "Oh, what is this thing that you big experts and college students use?" How can you drop a ball that is not much worse than my sheep shovel! Do you herd sheep when you're fine? ”

"Forehead......" Chen Tao had a black line on his head, and he was thinking about how to explain it to him, when Haozi next to him said:

"Uncle, we geological survey and digging, use our big shovel to go down together, a big pile of soil, we don't need so much, we use a small shovel, shovel digging dig out a little bit of soil from the bottom of the ground to see!"

"Oh! It's also ha, this little shovel is convenient! If I use a big shovel to herd sheep, I will be stoned to death by smashing my sheep under the soil with that spade! Liu Laohan took out a cigarette gun from his back waist and said.

“……”

Chen Tao's head was big for a while, and he was speechless to the extreme, walking by himself, and he didn't bother to care about Haozi's nonsense there.

I don't know how long I walked all the way, Uncle Long asked Liu Laohan: "Uncle, is there any bare underground soil in this mountain, we need to collect more data." ”

"What? What are you talking about? Liu Laohan stared at Uncle Long and asked.

"Well, is there any kind of big pit or big hole where you can see the soil and stones underground, the deeper the better, how deep and how deep you want to be!" Haozi leaned over and said.

"Ang...... Big earth cave, this seems to be a mile. Liu Laohan scratched his head and said,

"However, once one of my sheep ran away, and when I went to look for the sheep, I saw a big hole! It seems to be quite deep down there! ”

"Big pit? What big pit? Uncle Long's eyes lit up.

"It's a big pit! There is a big pit as big as a house in a circle, and there are many of them in a meadow in the woods, and one of them almost fell down if they didn't pay attention! ”

"It's good, how can there be a big pit?" Uncle Long squinted his eyes and pondered.

"Oh, this old man, do you know where that big pit came from?" Boss Zhang leaned over and asked.

"Hmm...... Well, I don't know, but I heard them say that someone used to dig here before, and then the dug collapsed and died, so they didn't dig miles, I think, that hole may be the hole of the mine back then! ”

Liu Laohan took a puff of dry flue.

"What! Could it be ......" A look of surprise crossed everyone's faces, and then they glanced at each other, knowing what the other had in mind.

"Then, take us to the big pit!" Chen Tao said a little excitedly. According to local legend, the mine is directly connected to the bottom of the cannibal valley, and if you can find the mine, it will save a lot of manpower and resources, after all, in the deep mountains and old forests, the equipment is not replenished, and food and water are limited. One more day of delay here is one more day of waste.

Unexpectedly, Liu Laohan shook his head like a rattle,

"No, no, no, I won't go, I won't go!"

"Why don't you go?" Seeing that Liu Laohan was actually like this, the mountain ghost couldn't help but be a little anxious, he was a ruthless man, he was very efficient in everything he did, and he couldn't see the ink dragging.

"I can't go to that place, I can't go!" Who knew that this old man Liu had eaten the scales as if he was iron-hearted, inserted his hands into the cuffs, and squatted on the spot and shook his head.

"Hey, ...... you" Seeing this, the mountain ghost was about to say something, but he saw Uncle Long waving his hand at him, and he had to hold back halfway through his words.

"Uncle, why can't you go to that place?" Uncle Long smelled with a smile.

Seeing that it was Uncle Long asking, Liu Laohan stood up and said, "You don't know where that mine leads to!" ”

"Oh, isn't it the one who eats the valley of people, what's there to be afraid of!" Boss Zhang on the side said.

"Oh, you all know that you want me to take you there through the cannibal valley! No, no, no, I can't go, I can't go. Liu Laohan waved his hand and said.

"What's the cannibal valley, it's all feudal superstition, there's nothing to be afraid of, you have to believe in science!" Chen Tao opened his mouth to persuade.

"Oh, you outsiders don't know the ghost who eats the man-eating valley, that person can't get out if he goes in, and it's very frightening!" Liu Laohan said with a changed face.

"That's it, we'll add you money, another fifty!" Uncle Long said.

"Oh, my big boss, this is not a matter of money, my life is gone, where can I care about some money without money!" Liu Laohan said.

"Hey, this old man is really stubborn, I'll ...... my temper," the mountain ghost glared.

"Oh, this little brother, I really can't go! I'm also thinking about you, there hasn't been a single outsider in this village for 800 years, and you are a university scholar and a big expert, that is the talent of the country, it's really too dangerous there, and you see it's getting dark today, no, no, no! ”

"Don't worry, uncle, we'll be fine, so let's do it, you can take us over to find a place, and you don't have to follow us to do anything, just said to add money, a lot of money!" Chen Tao said.

Liu Laohan looked at everyone and hesitated for a long time before he sighed and said: "Alas, okay, but if you go to that place, just take a look at it on the side, people say that there is a netherworld under the cannibalistic valley, and the living cannot be approached!" ”

"It's all passed from person to person, it's not so terrible, just work hard for you to show us the way, and then your task will be successfully completed, end early and go home early, the sheep is still waiting for you to put it!"

"Okay, let's go." Liu Laohan naturally couldn't resist everyone with one mouth, so he had to sigh and lead the way.

It was getting late, and all kinds of insect chirping began to sound in the forest, and it was crisp and pleasant to the ear when it stopped. Everyone was coated with the insect repellent potion they made when they came, and they didn't know what Yang Lixuan had added to it, which could actually change the unique smell of garlic and ginger. Although the taste was unacceptable at first, I gradually got used to it after a long time.

The deeper you go into the woods, the harder it becomes, and the ground is full of decaying leaves and weeds. People walk on it, and the soles of their shoes keep making a grinding sound. Seeing that it was about to get dark, everyone had to hurry up, and this place was not suitable for camping.

While holding a folding shovel to open the way, I stepped up my speed. Liu Laohan walked at the front of the crowd, constantly identifying the direction. I have to say that this old man's memory is still good, in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, he can actually remember a place that he has only been to once.

"Well, it's almost right in front of me, I remember that there was a dead big willow tree on the edge of the empty meadow at that time, and the branches and branches were broken everywhere, and it was this thing that mixed me up, and the person fell to the ground half of the front body on the edge of the big pit, and I almost fell down, but I was frightened!"

Liu Laohan squinted his eyes and looked around, the sun was almost setting, leaving only a little afterglow.

"Huh? It seems to be there, in front there! After looking at it for a while, Liu Laohan pointed in one direction.

"Oh, I said uncle, you have to find the way, it's going to be dark, we have to find a place to set up camp quickly!" Boss Zhang shook his big belly and gasped a little.

All the way to the half-man weeds everywhere, everyone is walking while driving the road, the physical exertion is very strong, from the noon departure to now has been walking for several hours, the stomach is also hungry, gurgling.

"Well, how long will it take, uncle?" Uncle Long also asked with some gasp.

"It should be not far from here, let me see! The grass is a little tall, and the dead willow tree is blocked by the grass! ”

Everyone had no choice but to slow down a little and scatter to find it slowly.

"Ouch, what's the matter, it hurts Lao Tzu!" Everyone was engrossed in their search, when they suddenly heard a scream.

Chen Tao and the others stopped to distinguish that it was Boss Zhang's voice, so they all walked in the direction where he was, and when they got closer, they saw Boss Zhang rubbing his forehead with a big hand, the folding shovel was thrown aside, and the grass in front of him was cut in half, revealing a thick dead tree trunk with a deep shovel mark on it.

It turned out that this boss was already a little tired from chopping all the way, and he was hungry and couldn't find a place for a long time, so he felt very angry, so he cut down a few half-human-high grass plants, but it was a muffled sound, and there seemed to be something in the grass to block it.

Everyone pushed the grass in front of them, and only half of it was exposed, and they heard Liu Laohan's voice behind them,

"Hey, yes, yes, that's it, that's it, that's it! That big pit is right here! ”
