This group of people is old and young, male and female, but everyone's temperament is very elegant, revealing a taste of knowledge.

Moreover, they are wearing professional equipment, which can be said to be armed to their feet, and they are carrying a lot of electronic instruments, which is obviously prepared.

They happen to be a professional scientific research team sent by the government, affiliated to the Kyoto General Research Institute, and all the professors in the list are even academicians, which can be described as the pillars of the scientific research community in Daxia.

Not long ago, the 749 Bureau summarized all the information from the investigation and sent it to the higher-level leaders in Kyoto.

The leaders were very interested in this and informed the General Research Institute of this matter.

And the General Hospital made a request for the first time, wanting to cooperate with the 749 Bureau and also participate in the exploration of Longyuan Mountain.

Subsequently, the higher-level leaders thought about it for a while and issued an order to let the relevant teams of the 749 Bureau continue to investigate the anomaly incidents in various places, and let the team set up by the General Research Institute go to Longyuan Mountain to investigate.

The reason for this order is that the 749 Bureau has conducted a blockade and preliminary investigation of Longyuan Mountain, but there is no result, so it is planned to be handed over to the General Research Institute for a try.

With such a division of labor and cooperation, perhaps the investigation will progress faster, and when the General Research Institute has clues, it will merge with the 749 Bureau to investigate and dispatch together.

In this regard, the 749 Bureau did not have any rejection, but felt that this cooperation method was very effective.

In this way, there is this scene where the members of the General Research Institute arrived at Longyuan Mountain.

……

At this moment, one of the leaders is negotiating with the village chief.

The official spoke, coupled with the pass, the village chief was not easy to stop, so they could only dissuade tactfully.

"Why don't you make sense, how many times have you said that there is a mountain god in this mountain, and you will offend the mountain god if you go."

The people of the scientific research team did not take the words of the village chief to heart.

"Village chief, hearing is false, seeing is believing, it's better for us to go into the mountains to see, and we can also worship."

The scientific research team also did relevant investigations before coming, although Longyuan Mountain was rumored to be miraculous, and even ordered a blockade later, but they did not see substantial evidence, and they could not believe it directly, so they still reported it with a scientific attitude to investigate.

The name of the old man at the head is Song Ze, who is an important academician of Great Xia, enjoys countless reputations, and is a leading figure in the entire geology and natural sciences.

He has led several well-known expedition teams, including Kunlun Grand Canyon, Shennongjia, Sahara Desert, and Mount Everest.

And the rest of the team is all kinds of good players, and the whole team can be said to be a gathering of talents, which shows that the leadership of Kyoto has a lot of determination.

Therefore, even if the village chief spoke dryly, this group of people was unmoved, obviously determined to enter the mountain.

In the end, the village chief had no choice but to give up and watch them enter the mountain, after all, it was impossible for them to openly argue with the official.

The villagers looked at the backs of the scientific research team and others, and couldn't help but say, "Village chief, do you just let them in?" ”

The village chief sighed, "Otherwise, what can we do, we can still stop people outside." ”

"But what if the mountain god gets angry, will there be any danger to this group of people."

The village chief glanced at the mountain not far away, lush and full of unspeakable mystery, "The mountain god should be considerate of us, and these people are not bad people, so there will be no danger in thinking about it, at most they will be frightened." ”

At this time, the scientific research team has entered the mountains and forests.

As far as the eye can see, there are large trees that shade the sky, green crowns completely block the sunlight, and towering ancient vines are strong and powerful, winding and coiling, like ancient dragons, bending into various shapes.

Even the weeds around them are below their ankles, and everyone seems to be in an ancient sea of plants, stepping into another wild world, which is full of primitive beauty, but also beautiful, which is really breathtaking.

Song Ze looked surprised, looked at the surrounding environment, and couldn't see it with a pair of eyes, although he looked quite old, he was in good spirits.

"Professor Song, you said that those villagers are really strange, what age do they still believe in mountain gods."

"There have been a lot of things going on in various parts of the country recently, so I would rather believe them. You also have to know that there are many things that science can't explain today."

There were a few people in the team who were talking about it.

Song Ze said earnestly:

"Maybe it's too remote, so the people here believe in these things, we don't understand, but we should respect the different customs and people of each place, just like we should respect nature, respect science, and always have a sense of awe."

Hearing Song Ze's words, the people who were talking about it before suddenly showed embarrassed looks, "Professor Song, we understand. ”

Song Ze carefully looked at the surrounding environment, "But then again, this place is indeed a little different from other places. ”

The scientific research team has traveled south and north for so many years, and Song Ze has also seen a lot of wind and waves, but there is no mountain and river like Longyuan Mountain, where the trees grow exceptionally tall, which is beyond common sense.

"Come and see."

I only heard an exclamation from the team, as if someone had discovered something, "Why have I never seen this grass, do you know what kind of plant this is?" ”

The group looked in the direction he was pointing, and it was a small green grass with jagged leaves and small yellow flowers blooming at the top, swaying gently in the breeze.

Song Ze thought about it for a long time, and there was no right number in his mind, he asked himself to read the whole book, and was even called a walking encyclopedia by the people in the research institute, most of the plants in the world knew it, but now he was stumped.

When I asked the rest of the team, I didn't know anyone, and some people speculated: it must be a new breed. ”

"Come and see, there's a strange plant here, too."

There were calls one after another in the team, and more and more strange and unfamiliar plants appeared in everyone's sight, and the group was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and they couldn't see it at all.

Everyone carefully observed these plants, and their faces gradually became solemn.

"The plants here are so weird, I've never seen them in the outside world."

"It's a bit unusual how there are so many strange plants."

If a plant is not recognized, it can be said to be an accident, maybe it is a new variety that has not yet been discovered by the world.

At this time, it is not normal to have so many strains, and it is impossible for all of them to be new varieties.

There is only one explanation, which is that these plants have mutated and changed their original appearance, so they will not recognize them.

For a while, Song Ze's excited eyes were shining, and he carefully collected samples of the soil and some plants here.

"If I'm not mistaken, these plants have all undergone varying degrees of mutation."

"It could be because of geological influences, or it could be that the soil contains other special elements, or it may be an environmental impact that has caused these plants to mutate and change their original appearance."

Hearing Song Ze's analysis, everyone was suddenly a little surprised, "Generally, the variation is small, and such a large-scale coverage is rare, what is the reason for such a change in the plants here?" ”

Song Ze didn't know this, and said after a while: "You may have to wait for the test results of the sample to come out." ”

If they could figure out the mystery, wouldn't it be a major breakthrough, and the others became excited at the thought of this.

Song Ze glanced at the deep inside, "Let's move on." ”

He had a vague hunch that something new might be discovered deep in the jungle.

The jungle was silent, silent, except for the rustle of the scientific research team stepping on the dead branches and fallen leaves.

Because the ancient trees blocked the view, the light around them was a little dim, and everyone only felt a chill coming to their faces, and they couldn't help but shiver.

But this is also normal, after all, this is in the mountains, the terrain is high in altitude, there will definitely be a temperature difference.

Song Ze suddenly stopped, and when the others saw this, they thought he had discovered something, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the professor?" ”

"Something isn't quite right."

The others looked around and didn't notice anything unusual.

"Don't you think it's too quiet here?"

The others were slightly stunned, and they really felt a little strange when Song Zeyi said it.

"We didn't see any wildlife along the way, not even insects and birds, which was a bit unusual."

It stands to reason that this place is inaccessible and diverse, and there should be abundant species, but even the most common birds, even small creatures such as squirrels, they have not seen a single one, which is incredible.

"Strange, where are these animals hiding?"

"Could it be that they sensed some danger, so they all ran back to the lair."

"We didn't encounter any danger along the way, and we didn't even see a large beast."

For a while, many doubts appeared in everyone's hearts, and they discussed for a long time without a definite answer.

Song Ze could only order to continue walking, his gaze fell on the compass, but his eyes widened.

The compass didn't move, as if it was out of order.

"What's the matter, why did the compass suddenly break, it was still fine just now."

Not only the compass, but also other instruments and electronic devices were having problems.

"Could it be that the magnetic field here is special, and we have entered some special field, so these things are out of order?"

The originally neat team instantly became panicked, and I don't know when many of the instruments in their hands fell into a state of disorder.

The camera crashes, the exploration instrument sizzles with electricity, and even the cell phone signal shows a large bright red cross.

Just when everyone was at a loss and flustered, Song Ze suddenly made a gesture to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Wait, you see, there's something in the distance."

The others held their breath, and there was a crisp and ethereal movement from the southeast, looming, and if you weren't careful, it was easy to ignore the past.

"It seems like there's a real voice."

"Ding-dong-"

Someone looked puzzled and said uncertainly: "This seems to be a wind chime?" ”

The people of the scientific research team looked surprised, how could there be wind chimes in the wilderness, and judging from the villagers at the bottom of the mountain, they were in awe of the so-called "mountain gods" and did not go up the mountain.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Ze decided to move towards the source of the sound, and the others followed closely behind.

"Ding-dong-"

The crisp ringing of bells echoes between the mountains and forests, looking melodious and mysterious.

I don't know how long I walked, there was a sound of the stream flowing in the distance, like a jade collision, pleasant, and the insects and birds also sounded around, and the originally silent mountain forest came alive again.

It seems that the previous quiet and eerie was their delusion.

Everyone glanced at each other, brushed aside the bushes more than half a person tall in front of them, and cautiously walked forward.

However, when they saw the scene in front of them clearly, their eyes widened and they showed a look of disbelief, "This is. What?! ”

Song Ze was dumbfounded, and his expression changed suddenly.

The dim forest vanished into a vast expanse of land, and the view suddenly widened.

A spring flows through the mountains, playing a melodious music, and fat fish can be seen swimming happily in the stream.

Birds hovered in mid-air, singing, branches were full of ripe fruit, and a few rays of sunlight poured down to gilded the scenes.

The breeze swept across their faces, bringing fruity and unknown fragrances, and they felt extremely warm and refreshed, and there was a feeling of purification of the soul.

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, not knowing if it was their delusion, and always felt that the fatigue of the long journey was swept away.

Looking at the scenery in front of them, the people of the scientific research team were completely dumbfounded, how could there be fields and fruit trees in the depths of these mountains.

And judging from the traces, these are not naturally grown, but man-made traces, and even the soil seems to have just been cultivated.

"What's going on here?"

According to the information they investigated, there was no one living in the depths of Longyuan Mountain, could it be that their information was wrong?

The rest of the research team looked at the surroundings and couldn't help but mutter, "It feels like this is the paradise described in the book." ”

No one thought that in such a remote place, there would be people living there, and everyone couldn't help but wonder what kind of people lived here.

It's just that at this moment, they didn't find any people.

"Keep looking, maybe there are really residents in the mountains?"

The team continued on their way and finally saw several wooden houses at the end of the road.

Built under ancient trees, these wooden houses are imbued with the beauty of pristine nature.

Surrounded by vines, unknown flowers bloom, and countless butterflies fluttering back and forth, weaving together into a dreamlike scene that almost blends in with its surroundings.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace, "This wooden house is really beautiful." ”

"If you can live here, you must be a recluse."

"If I retire and want to live here, the environment here is really good."

Everyone was talking about it, and soon they came to the vicinity of the wooden house.

"It's not good for so many of us to go, it seems impolite, you wait here first."

Song Ze told the other members of the scientific research team, and then led several team members to approach the wooden house, and vaguely heard the sound of cutting vegetables in the house, which was very rhythmic, obviously cooking.

"Knock knock—"

"Hello, is anyone there?"

"Fellow countryman, we are a scientific research team sent by the government to investigate Longyuan Mountain and want to learn about the situation here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the board in the room stopped, but after a moment there was the sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer in the direction of the door.

Song Songze and several other team members looked a little expectant and curious, wanting to see what kind of characters lived in this paradise?

With a "squeak" sound.

The heavy wooden door was slowly opened,

However, after seeing who the "person" who opened the door was clear......

In the next second, the anticipation in their eyes turned into shock, and deep horror!

Academician Song Ze's eyes widened, and the expression on his face was replaced by panic and fear, and he was extremely suspicious that he had brought the wrong reading glasses?

Because what stood before them was not a "man" at all! ”

It's a ...... Huge hanging white-eyed tiger!

The hair on his body is oily and slippery, the roots are clear, and the king character on his forehead makes people dare not look at it directly, and a pair of tiger eyes are blazing, with full oppression and a sense of shock.

But!

It stood on its hind legs like a human, with an apron on it, and a kitchen knife on its furry claws, with a few green leaves on it.

"This, this, this ......"

Song Ze's knees were weak, and they were almost about to kneel, their bodies were completely stiff in place, their minds were completely blank, and they even forgot to run away.

What the hell is going on?!

It wasn't a human being who opened the door, but a tiger!

And looking at its dress, it seems that it was the same one who was chopping vegetables in the wooden house just now?

Before they could come back to their senses, a voice suddenly came from the house: "Huzi, who?" What fellow? ”

After hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but follow the voice, but they were stunned again.

Only then did I see that there was a figure in the house, which turned out to be a gray wolf standing up, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and was frantically rolling his arms, chopping vegetables against the board.

It doesn't look like chopping vegetables, but it looks like chopping people......

At this time, the tiger in front of him actually began to speak: "Where did you just say where you came from?" What are you doing? Hu Ye just chopped vegetables and didn't hear clearly......"

The tiger in front of him even spoke, with an obvious northeast accent in his words.

If the creature in front of you is not a tiger, but a human, then everything is perfectly normal.

But it's a tiger!

Song Ze and a few other team members glanced at each other, only to feel that the things in front of them were too mysterious and ridiculous, and even thought that they had auditory hallucinations, and they were completely stunned for a while, their eyes were shocked.

A tiger and a wolf, chopping vegetables?

Moreover, he also speaks human language??? (End of chapter)
