Three days later, the three of them followed Master Qian to the place where Professor Hua and Master Qian had obtained the second fish intestine sword, Kitahara Noboribetsu Hell Valley.

"Wow! I'm finally here! It's really more shocking than I imagined! Aya Asai was excited along the way, and when she arrived at her destination, she jumped even more excitedly. She has always wanted to travel to the North Plains, but she has never had a chance.

It was the first time Ahn Young-chul had come to a place outside of the Japanese capital, and he was also busy taking pictures everywhere with his mobile phone.

Noboribetsu Jigokudani is a famous spot in Kitahara. Looking at the tourists, Wang Zhifei was a little puzzled, and he asked: "Old Qian, this is the place where you explored back then?" But it's so lively here, it seems that there is no danger to explore? ”

Master Qian understood their doubts, so he said mysteriously, "Don't worry, this is just an entrance." There's still a long way to go. He took the three of them around like ordinary tourists to visit and watch, and sighed: "There have been a lot of changes here over the years." It will take a lot of work to find the cave of the past. ”

The three of them were not as calm as Master Qian, and they had no intention of appreciating the magic of nature, but they were not easy to urge, so they had to follow Qian Lao to stop and go. After walking down for most of the day, An Yingzhe finally couldn't help asking: "Old Qian, when do we have to go?" It's hard work to carry so much supplies on your back. ”

Qian Lao stopped, looked at the mountain pass in the distance, and said, "Do you see the dead tree there?" Let's go there and rest, and I'll explain the rest of the arrangement. ”

Aya Asai looked at the position pointed by Qian Lao from a distance, and asked suspiciously: "Qian Lao, that side has deviated from the main road, is our direction correct?" ”

Before Qian Lao could answer, Wang Zhifei said: "Miss Aya, we are here to explore this time, of course we can't take the ordinary route." Let's hurry up and get there within an hour. Qian Lao, give me your backpack, my physical strength is okay. Qian Lao was not polite, only the kettle and cane were left, and the rest of the luggage was handed over to Wang Zhifei and the others.

In less than an hour, the four of them had arrived at the location of Qian Laozhi.

Qian Lao stroked the dead tree and said with emotion: "After so many years of changes, fortunately you are still there." He said to the three: "I remember it very well. Back then, we used this tree as a marker and headed out into the mountains ahead. He asked the three of them to set up the camping tent they had brought and prepare dinner.

This time, Wang Zhifei was puzzled: "Old Qian, don't we have to hurry up and enter the mountain?" Is it possible to spend the night here? ”

Qian Lao said: "Camping here, on the one hand, we really need to take a break, and then we need to carry out high-intensity operations; On the other hand, it is now a tourist area after all, and you can set up a tent to hide from people's eyes. ”

After the three of them understood, they didn't dare to slack off, and set up a tent to prepare dinner according to Qian Lao's instructions.

Qian Lao continued: "For the later operation, we need to divide into two groups, three people to move forward, and one person to stay. ”

Aya Asai asked: "Old Qian, let's move forward together, isn't the strength more concentrated?" ”

Qian Lao said: "The situation ahead is more complicated, and you are not professional expedition members. Therefore, someone needs to be left as a backup, in case of an emergency, you can rescue in time, and you can also call the police for rescue. ”

Wang Zhifei preemptively said: "Old Qian, Xiao An and I will move forward with you, let Miss Aya stay." ”

Aya Asai was dissatisfied: "Why should I stay? My source field machine is very dynamic, and I can be flexible in case of unexpected situations, so it is more suitable for me to participate in the expedition! ”

Wang Zhifei's original intention was to worry about Aya Asai taking risks, so he let her stay out of kindness, but he didn't expect Aya Asai to volunteer.

Qian Lao thought for a while and said, "What Miss Asai said makes sense. The people who stay behind also need some physical strength, so just let Xiao An stay. ”

With a triumphant smile on her face, Aya Asai snatched a backpack from her back and said, "Shifei-kun, don't worry!" Maybe at a critical moment, I have to protect you? ”

Wang Zhifei sighed slightly, and had to say helplessly: "Miss, you are amazing!" ”

Qian Lao looked at the sky and said, "It's almost evening, let's hurry up and rest and replenish, and head down as soon as it gets dark." ”

The four of them set up their tents, lit a fire, and even cooked a beautiful dinner. Qian Lao showed his cooking skills, which made the three of them full of praise.

An Yingzhe asked with a look of admiration: "Old Qian, I am also working in a small restaurant in Wujing now, and when my studies are over, can I take you as a teacher and specialize in cooking?" ”

Qian Lao smiled, he said, "Xiao An, it's very hard to be a chef. And you are also a top student, why waste your studies? ”

Ahn Young-chul said embarrassedly, "Actually, my biggest wish since I was a child was to be a chef. But all the time, all the life trajectories have been arranged. I didn't get a chance to do what I loved. But now it's different, I'm able to be independent, what's more—" He proudly stretched out his hands and said, "I'm also a person with Source Field Power now, and my Source Field Power is especially suitable for cooking!" ”

Aya Asai smiled on the side and said, "Anjun, the letter stone has given you the power of the source field, so you use it to do this?" If the Langmu people know, they will come out of the earth to find you! ”

The four of them were talking and laughing while eating, and after a while, the sky darkened.

Qian Lao said: "Zhifei, Miss Asai, check your outfits." Let's go. After explaining the emergency contact signal and precautions for staying behind with An Yingzhe, he led the two of them along the valley towards the inside.

The trio didn't slow down because it was dark, but they walked for almost an hour before they stopped in front of a huge tree.

Qian Lao shone a lamp on the giant tree and said, "It's almost there." This tree is the most obvious sign. We turn east here and walk another 15 minutes or so. ”

Aya Asai looked around, and then shone the lamp at the dense foliage on the tree. She said with some uneasiness: "Old Qian, Zhifeijun." Did you hear anything? As soon as I got to the tree, I had a strange feeling, as if something was watching us. ”

Qian Lao said: "Miss Asai, this is a deep mountain and dense forest, maybe there are some wild animals." But don't worry, we've got more than enough weapons to take on the most powerful beasts here. There may be bears in the mountains of Kitahara, but they are rare. ”

Wang Zhifei paid attention. He said, "Mr. Qian, I think Miss Aya's feelings deserve our attention. The sensing ability of the source field force is more or less stronger than that of us ordinary people. If there is really a clue of the letter stone in this vicinity, there is a high probability that the active field force beast will be activated. They are not something that we ordinary people can deal with. ”
