Gao Chao said with some concern.

When the fat man heard this, he grinned and said, "Old Gao, don't you be so cowardly, okay?" I've heard that this place has been owned by us Chinese since ancient times, otherwise how could it be in this place? Why wasn't it buried in the Persian Gulf? That's the proof. So if you want me to say, don't be afraid of them at all, what should we do, find Yucong to save the world, that's what we should do. ”

Gao Chao was stunned by the fat man's few words, and he said in his heart why the fat man was suddenly so righteous today.

In his mind, the fat man used to be a greedy and fearful of death, but now, the fat man's consciousness has suddenly risen several levels, which is really not easy.

However, Gao Chao was also a little feverish by the fat man's words, so he thought about choking back again, but before he could speak, Xia Qing on the side spoke.

"Actually, what you said is right, the current situation is indeed a little embarrassing, but I think we have an unshirkable responsibility, although going to the Tomb of the Western Night King may have to face a more dangerous and complicated situation, but we have no choice, the time has passed for almost a week, but our progress is still very slow, if we hesitate like this, it is likely that it will be too late to find Yucong, and once the nine-story black tower is activated, the consequences will be unimaginable, so, I agree with the fat man's statement."

As soon as Xia Qing said this, the fat man glanced at Gao Chao arrogantly, and Gao Chao only nodded helplessly

In fact, Gao Chao also agreed to move on, but he was more worried about their safety. Instead of accomplishing this task at all costs.

That's it. The three of them made a quick decision. Keep moving forward.

And this decision will mean that they are likely to cross the border, although the border here is indeed as described by the fat man, dogs and teeth, no one knows where the border is, but they still take a great risk, once the neighboring country thinks that trespassing on the border without permission, will definitely be punished the most severely.

But they really can't care about that much. They were thinking more about the nine-story Black Tower. If they can find Yu Cong smoothly, then they can gather a whole piece of Outer Stone, and then bring it back to the ancient city of Yinshan to end the device of the Nine-Story Black Tower, which is what they are concerned about.

Night had fallen, and the wind on the Pamirs was raging again, but this time, it was no longer able to pose any threat to the three of them.

Because they've entered the cavern behind the boundary marker.

The cave opening is not large. It is also very hidden, and you can see that it is a naturally formed cave.

Enter the interior of the cave through the opening. They found that the inside of the cave was still very spacious, and it was a typical karst cave.

The cavern is very vapoury, and because there is a river flowing out of the cave, you can still hear the murmuring of the water at the entrance of the cave, and the raging wind outside, even from the deeper part of the cave.

The three of them set up their tents on the spot to rest, and they were ready to set off early tomorrow morning, and go straight through this cave according to what Aceti said, and then depending on the situation, they walked to the west to find the tomb of the King of the Western Night.

But now, they really don't have the strength, three or four days in a row in the valley, their physical strength and will have been exhausted, fortunately there is a place to shelter from the wind tonight, otherwise, I really don't know how long they can hold on.

The fat man had already fallen asleep, he had basically eaten something, and he couldn't stand it anymore, but in such a late night, Gao Chao and Xia Qing were sitting around a kerosene stove, both of them were silent, sometimes they would say a few words simply, but no one wanted to go to sleep.

The flame of the kerosene stove was so weak that it could not be used for heating, but it was really a helpless move, because Gao Chao searched all the outside of the cave, but could not find a branch, in fact, there were no tall plants at all in this Pamir plateau, there were gray ridges everywhere, and there were only some low moss-like vegetation by the river, and it was difficult to see some green other than that.

That's why they lit the kerosene stove, or at least that way, there would be a glimmer of fire in the dark cave.

Light is always good, darkness is always scary, especially in a cave like this.

Xia Qing looked at the depths of the cave, this cave didn't know how long, the more he looked inside, it seemed that this cave was more spacious, but the fire was very weak, and he couldn't see how far away.

Gao Chao was also looking at the darkness in front of him, when he thought of going deep into the cave tomorrow, he couldn't help but think of the deep tunnel under the ancient city of Yinshan, as long as he remembered that experience, he seemed to be a little out of breath, everything was still vivid, he really couldn't imagine that he would experience those things.

The two of them were like this, almost silent I don't know how long it took for Xia Qing to get up and go to rest, Gao Chao didn't say anything, because since the last time they slept in a tent for one night, he was a little embarrassed, especially when he was about to rest in the middle of the night.

Seeing Xia Qing enter his tent, Gao Chao dimmed the kerosene stove slightly, this kerosene stove is very easy to use, the biggest feature is that it can be used for a long time, as long as it is loaded with a jar of kerosene, it can be burned for many days in a row.

Although the light of the kerosene stove is very weak now, it may not play any role at all, but it is a fire after all, as long as there is a fire, Gao Chao's heart seems to have a sense of steadfastness, in the wild, the fire often means safety.

The three of them all fell asleep, and the wind outside the cave was still strong, blowing on some stone moats, making the sound of ghosts crying and howling, which made people think crankily.

Inside the cave, the water is constantly flowing, and the murmuring sound of the water contrasts with the sound of the wind, which seems so gentle and comfortable.

Gao Chao was lying in the tent, but his heart was heavy, tossing and turning.

He can't sleep, and if he can't sleep, he has to think.

So Gao Chao thought about everything that had happened these days, only to find that not only did he not understand anything, but he seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper.

From the deep mountains of northwest Yunnan to the valleys of the Pamir Plateau, from the 101 Institute twenty years ago to the mysterious troops thirty years ago, Gao Chao suddenly felt that these seemingly unrelated things seemed to have some connection between them, at least these two places had something to do with Xia Qiu, if this was his job, then what was he doing? His unit, that is, the 101 Institute, what kind of organization are they? (To be continued.) )
