Chapter 9 Departure
The long dark night passed quickly, and the hopeful morning arrived.
Bai Yuxuan got up early, checked everything, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he and Zhou Xiwei came to the school gate.
On the way, Bai Yuxuan called Lu Zhentian, and when he learned that Lu Zhentian was already waiting for them at the school gate, they immediately sped up their pace.
When he was about to arrive at the school gate, Bai Yuxuan really saw that Lu Zhentian was already waiting on the side of the road, he hurriedly ran a few steps and accelerated to meet him.
"Hey! You're early. β
Bai Yuxuan shouted at Lu Zhentian from afar.
"Because I usually wake up early and get a little excited. After all, I've never been to a place like this. β
"Hey, who isn't! What's the matter, fatty, can you do it? β
Seeing that Zhou Xiwei was exhausted and out of breath after running a few steps, Bai Yuxuan couldn't help but remind him with some worry.
"We're not going to the Maldives, it's not a big city full of hotels."
"We need to hike hard every day, and we need to sleep in tents at night, and if you can't, I don't think you'd better go."
"Whew... Call... Man, men can't say no! You, you rest assured. When the time comes, I will definitely not cause trouble to the organization! β
Seeing that Zhou Xiwei had expressed his attitude like this, Bai Yuxuan didn't say much.
He waved his hand forward.
"Comrades, let's go!"
βYesοΌsi
οΌ β
Lu Zhentian and Zhou Xiwei also saluted Bai Yuxuan.
In fact, until now, they have thought that this is just an ordinary event, but if they are asked to choose whether to participate in this event in the future, no one will choose to go even if they are allowed to die immediately.
Chengzhou City, where Chengzhou Normal University is located, and Dongtang City, where Lost Soul Valley is located, are very close to each other, and they are less than a hundred kilometers.
However, Shanya County, where the Caowu Mountain Scenic Area is located, is still nearly 120 kilometers away from Dongtang City.
The three of them first took the subway to Chengzhou East Railway Station, and bought a high-speed rail ticket to Dongtang East Railway Station half an hour later.
After arriving in Dongtang City, the three of them immediately rushed to the Dongtang City Bus Station to buy a bus ticket to the Shanya County Passenger Transport Center.
After a long and boring ride, the three finally arrived in Shanya County. But it was already half past six in the afternoon. At the moment, it is still nearly a two-hour drive from Kushut Mountain.
In the end, they decided to stay in Shanya County for one night, and then go to Caowu Mountain tomorrow morning to recuperate.
They chose the best hotel in Shanya County, and they also opened a room by themselves.
According to Bai Yuxuan, there is no place to use money after entering the Ecstasy Valley, so take advantage of it now.
After tasting the local specialities, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest and prepare for tomorrow's action.
Bai Yuxuan first plugged in the three 30,000 mAh power banks he brought from the dormitory.
Although he knew that it was impossible for a mobile phone to have a signal in the deep mountains and old forests, the mobile phone could function as a mobile library without a signal.
When Bai Yuxuan was in the dormitory last night, he used his mobile phone to download the e-book resources of the school library, and also collected other adventures, monsters, legends and other complex network resources, and finally did not give up until the memory of the mobile phone was completely occupied.
After watching TV for a while, Bai Yuxuan suddenly felt bored and drowsy.
However, it was only past nine o'clock, so he took out his mobile phone and checked the relevant information of Caowu Mountain and Ecstasy Valley.
Caowu Mountain Scenic Area is a national forest nature park, covering an area of 1.05 million acres and an altitude of about 1,000 to 3,000 meters.
The air in the scenic area is fresh and the visibility is high, like a fairyland. And the Valley of Lost Souls is the most mysterious place in the scenic area.
In addition, the valley of the lost is located between 29Β°32'-29Β°34'N, which is similar to the terrifying Bermuda Triangle and the mysterious Egyptian pyramids, so the Valley of the Lost is also known as "Bermuda on land". It's easy to get into this Lost Soul Valley, but it's not so easy to get out of it.
It is precisely because of the special situation of the Lost Soul Valley that the local area did not include the Lost Valley in the scope of conventional development when developing the Caowu Mountain Scenic Area, and the Lost Valley area is not open to tourists.
But there are so many people, they are not afraid of anything by nature, and their favorite thing is to go to a place like the Valley of the Lost Soul to explore, according to incomplete statistics, since 1970, dozens of people have entered the Valley of the Lost Soul and their whereabouts are unknown. Among them are experienced explorers.
If you enter the Valley of Lost Souls without permission, you will die!!
Three huge exclamation marks shook Bai Yuxuan hard.
"No, it won't. It can't really be so terrifying......" Bai Yuxuan laughed dryly.
He wasn't in the mood to read any more about how terrifying and dangerous Ecstasy Valley was. The quilt covered his head and fell asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
In the early morning of the next day, the three of them were ready to go, and they were finally about to officially march towards Caowu Mountain.
Bai Yuxuan didn't want to go to the passenger transportation center anymore to take the slow minibus, so he simply spent a few hundred yuan to call a car on the side of the road and let the driver drive directly to the gate of the Caowu Mountain Scenic Area.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the three of them finally saw the scenic sign of "Caowushan National Forest Park" after a lot of hardship.
After buying tickets to enter the scenic spot, the three saw an old man who looked like a cleaner sitting on a flower bed resting.
Bai Yuxuan stepped forward and asked the old man with a grin.
"Uncle, are you working in this scenic spot?"
"yes, hehe, I've been working here for over thirty years, and it's like my home." The uncle also responded with a smile.
"I said, uncle, the air and environment here are good, and you should be able to live more in it when you work here, right? No wonder the uncle looks at the body and is in good spirits. β
"Haha, haha, you kid really can talk. yes, every day I sweep the floor in here, I feel like I'm getting younger day by day, haha. β
"Uncle, do you know what's in the Valley of Lost Souls?"
When Bai Yuxuan asked this sentence, the uncle's body froze obviously, but his limbs were still trembling slightly, revealing infinite fear.
The uncle had a gloomy face, didn't say a word, and walked away quickly.
"Hey, this old man, I really don't know how to respect people......"
Bai Yuxuan smiled wryly, but the three of them could see it.
At first, Bai Yuxuan and the uncle had a good chat, but when Bai Yuxuan mentioned the Valley of Lost Souls, the uncle obviously showed a look of fear, is this Valley of Lost Souls really a so-called Jedi with no return?
But at this time, even if the three of them wanted to retreat, they had no room to retreat, so they could only continue to move forward.
