There were no accidents along the way, but the road was quite short, starting from 7 o'clock in the morning until the sun was about to set in the afternoon, and finally arrived at a tributary of the Lancang River.

That tributary is the Snake River, which is named because of its snake-like shape.

The snake river bypasses the Shalong Mountain, flows into the lofty mountains, forms a valley, the terrain is low-lying, because this valley does not disperse the demon fog all the year round, and there are many insects in the valley, so this valley is called the worm valley.

Chen Yulou and Luo Laowei ordered to camp here for one night and continue their journey tomorrow.

The swordsmen of Jieling took out the anti-poisonous insect powder one after another, and sprinkled some on everyone, there were too many of them, and the camp was wide, so they couldn't set up a broken insect belt.

Besides, it's useless to set up a broken insect belt, many poisonous insects come out of the ground directly, so they can only smear some protective measures on their bodies.

The one in charge of the food is still the cooking squad of the Luo Lao Crooked Sapper Digging Battalion, and these guys are also the most unlucky, because they carry the black pot wherever they go.

The old foreigner took the flower spirit to the river, and the old foreigner tied the end of his bow and arrow to the end of the rope, and shot the fish with the bow and arrow, and it was actually a shot accurately, as long as it was a fish in his sight, no one escaped.

No one has been here for a long time, and even the fish in the river have grown fat and fat, and the old foreigner has made everyone drink delicious fish soup with such a hand.

On the side of the Lancang River, the source of the Snake River rested overnight, and the next morning, Chen Yulou called Luo Changfeng, Partridge Whistle, Luo Lao Crooked and others together, and he spread out the human skin map in his hand.

Chen Yulou said: "Everyone, according to the records on the map, there are two routes to enter the Worm Valley, one is to climb from the top of Shalong Mountain, and the other is to bypass Shalong Mountain along the Snake River. ”

After listening to Chen Yulou's words, Luo Lao was the first to speak: "It is not feasible to turn over Shalong Mountain, I have inquired with people in Dali, this Shalong Mountain is steep and rugged, the weather on the top of the mountain is changeable, hail, heavy rain, and strong wind are coming." ”

"It was still sunny and daylight, and in an instant there was a storm and snow, hail in the summer, and a white-haired wind in the winter, and without a guide who was familiar with the situation to lead the way, these hundreds of brothers had to fold there if they were not careful. ”

"But now the Bai people who originally lived under the Shalong Mountain have all moved to Dali, and no one has been there for many years, and they can't find a guide at all. ”

Chen Yulou said solemnly: "Luo Shuai is reasonable, but the second road is also not easy to walk, take this route, you have to cross the primeval forest between the Lancang River and the Nu River. ”

"Although the distance on the map may not seem far, you should be well aware that the road in the forest is actually ten to twenty times longer than expected. ”

"Moreover, the forest is poisoned by insects and miasma, and the swamps are dense, which is also full of dangers, and although there are too many accidents to climb the mountains, the distance is also much shorter. ”

Hua Ma Gui echoed: "I always said that my head is good, I also think it is more appropriate to go over the mountain, what do you think of Changfeng?"

Luo Changfeng crossed his arms and said, "I don't care! it doesn't matter where you go, if it's just me and my swordsman brothers, I will choose to go over the mountain." ”

"However, the brothers under Luo Shuai, although they have not practiced light skills, are all people with good physical strength, and it is only a little hard to climb the mountain, and 'maybe' they will encounter accidents. ”

"Compared with walking through the forest, it takes less time to climb the mountain, and if it goes well, you can climb it in half a day, so the chance of accidents is naturally smaller. ”

"It takes ten days and eight days to wear through the forest, not to mention the danger in the dense forest, just to rest in the forest for the night, it is a very dangerous thing, there are some things, but guns can't deal with it. ”

This is a fact, the most terrible thing in the primeval forest is never the beast, but those small poisonous mosquitoes and poisonous insects, after all, you can't fight mosquitoes with cannons, right?

Seeing that Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng were inclined to climb the mountain, Luo Lao Crooked had no opinion, and the Partridge Whistle brothers and sisters had long been accustomed to crossing mountains and mountains, and they had all broken through the difficult and dangerous environment, so they naturally would not be afraid of a single Shalong Mountain.

Seeing this, Luo Changfeng also nodded secretly in his heart, although it was a little troublesome to go over the mountain, it was also a good thing to be able to avoid the water bees in the saber-toothed vipers, blue-scaled pythons, and carous figurines.

If you go over the mountain, you may not encounter any danger, but if you take the underground river, you will definitely encounter danger, and in the underground river, it is not easy to move, he himself is fine, and others are in danger.

The saber-toothed viper and the water bee can also be fried with explosives, but the blue-scaled python, if it is on land, it is easy to say, he and Chen Yulou's ear power can be found from a long distance, but what if that thing is in the water? If one is not careful, I am afraid that some people will die.

So it's better to go over the mountain.

The discussion was set, and the team immediately set out, heading straight for Shalong Mountain, and several Xieling swordsmen held firewood knives in front of them to open the way, and they were reluctant to use their swords to cut down thorns and bushes.

After walking for about four or five miles, passing through a large bamboo forest, they soon reached the foot of the mountain, chose a place with a gentle slope, and the team began to climb Shalong Mountain.

Shalong Mountain has an altitude of more than 3,300 meters, and if you want to climb over to reach the Worm Valley, the actual distance will take twenty or thirty miles, and if it is on flat land, it will take less than three hours to complete.

But it's not so easy to climb the mountain, these twenty or thirty miles, to say the least, it takes six or seven hours.

After more than two hours, the team reached the mountainside, and the snow line on the top of the mountain could already be seen, and the temperature also dropped rapidly.

It was a hot summer day, and the military uniforms were not thin, and the soldiers were fully armed, and the soldiers endured the scorching heat every day.

The group of thieves in Jieling is similar, they have always covered their whole bodies tightly when they hunt for graves, and naturally they have endured the heat all the way.

But when I got here, I followed up with an air-conditioned room, and the temperature on the mountainside was only more than 20 degrees at most, and everyone suddenly felt very cool, and their steps were much lighter.

After walking up for another hour and a half, it was already close to the snow line, and the temperature was a little low, but fortunately, the soldiers and the thieves were relatively tightly clothed and did not feel the cold.

Chen Yulou ordered to rest for an hour, eat some dry food, replenish his strength, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he couldn't rest, and he had to go through it in one go, otherwise even if the weather remained unchanged, they would not be able to endure the severe cold on the top of the mountain.

Luo Changfeng swallowed the big cake in his mouth, looked at the red girl beside him, and said, "How is it?"

The red girl glanced at Luo Changfeng, took a bite of the cake, and said vaguely: "You don't look down on people, my physical strength is no worse than you men." ”

Luo Changfeng nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I respect you that the red girl is a man." ”

"Coax"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"

The group of thieves and soldiers around who heard this let out a burst of laughter in unison, especially Luo Lao, who laughed so much that he was a little flat.

Hua Ling, who was beside the red girl, said happily: "Brother Changfeng will also joke, Ming'er will definitely come out of the north when the sun hits." ”

Luo Changfeng said casually: "Pengsheng hemp, do not help yourself, the white sand is in Nirvana, and it is black." ”

After Luo Changfeng finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Chen Yulou intentionally or unintentionally.

The corners of Chen Yulou's mouth twitched, and he said, "Eh, you have to make this clear, who does the 'Nirvana' in your mouth refer to?"

Luo Chang didn't look back and said: "He naturally knows who I'm talking about." ”

"Hey, you guy. Chen Yulou shook his head with a smile, and said, is he so immature?

The old foreigner whispered to the partridge whistle with a confused face, "Senior brother, what does Brother Changfeng mean?

Hua Ling glanced at the old foreigner, and complained mercilessly: "You don't listen to telling you to read more books on weekdays, and as a result, you can't even understand what others are saying." ”

"Brother Changfeng's sentence means that the fluffy grass grows in the hemp field, and it can grow straight without support, and the white sand is mixed into the black soil, and it is as black as the black soil. ”

"Oh...... Hehe......" The old foreigner scratched the back of his head and said, "No way, the dense words on my UC book league dozed off, and I didn't have a rut!"

“......”

An hour later, the team set off again, this time with all the strength to cross the snowy mountains in one go.
