The phoenix, which is basically a legendary existence, is like a dragon, and this big red bird is not a phoenix, but a golden chicken, this golden chicken just grows bigger, so it spreads its wings and looks like a phoenix.

From beginning to end, the nearly three-meter-long golden pheasant flew in the air, like a warrior in battle armor, looking at everyone indifferently, and the strong wind instigated by his wings blew the leaves of the ancient trees and trees.

"The sky is auspicious, this time we will have a big harvest when we enter the mountain," said with a long smile.

"Giggle......".

The golden rooster spun around in mid-air, crowed twice, and then fell into the mountains and forests, and stopped moving for a while.

"It's so beautiful, much more beautiful than the zoo."

"What is a zoo, it's all in captivity, can it compare with here?"

The uncle who led the way looked at the direction in which the golden rooster flew away, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Let's talk about it, I'll only take you to where Baihuling is, I won't go in, and when you arrive, I'll go back here and wait for you."

The cattle drivers looked at each other and didn't speak, but looking at their expressions, they didn't want to go into the back mountain, and Xiao Yu The temptation they gave was too great, and they didn't want to refuse, after all, this is the income of a prime man working for two years, and if they miss this time, it is estimated that there will be no such opportunity in the future.

The professor looked at the back mountain with a happy face, then took out the map and looked at it, and then whispered a few words to the two of them, and finally looked at everyone, "This is not far from Baihuling, everyone go to rest first, and set off early tomorrow morning."

"Professor, I don't want to go, I don't feel well, so I don't want to go to the back mountain," a boy said with some embarrassment.

"It's all here, why don't you go?"

"That's it, we girls aren't afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not going, I feel flustered when I walk here, so I don't want to go" The boy shook his head red-faced, looking a little stubborn.

"Chen Ming, as an archaeologist, you have to enter the mountains at any time, if you don't even have this courage, how can you enter the mountains in the future? Besides, we have been walking for half a month, and it is not easy to go back, if you don't go, you will have to go back alone, can you go out? ”

"I ......".

"Okay, don't say it, since you've come here, I hope none of you give up or be afraid, it's just a mountain, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Before Chen Ming finished speaking, he was interrupted by the professor, and the other party said that it was not bad, if you don't go in now, then you only have two ways to go, one is to return to the town, but it will take half a month!

The other is to wait here, but the time to go to the mountains is not fixed, it may be three months, or more, and there is not enough food here, so let a scholar who has no power to stay here, isn't that waiting for death?

Chen Ming didn't speak, looking a little embarrassed, but finally nodded and agreed.

"Let's go, everyone follow me to the cave," the leader beckoned, and then pulled the surrounding grass and trees, and climbed towards the cave.

The trail to the cave is very steep, and the surrounding plants are also very dense, looking a little desolate, between the back mountain and the front mountain, there seems to be an invisible barrier, dividing the two sides, one side of the ancient trees towering to the sky, while the other side of the plant is sparse, mostly low shrubs.

The leader hunched over, walked about fifty or sixty meters, suddenly took two steps back, and then stood where he didn't move.

Xiao Yu and the others all stretched out their heads curiously and looked forward, but they saw that under the bushes above, there was a black snake the size of a millstone, the black snake seemed to be basking in the sun, and they didn't notice anyone coming at all.

The leader picked up a branch and struck it a few times on the surrounding bushes, and then the black snake slowly raised its head, and when he saw someone standing in front of him, his whole body bowed, but the leader stood without moving.

One person and one snake froze there, and after a long time, the black snake stretched out and slipped into the bushes next to it, and where the black snake was entrenched before, the weeds were still dark, as if they had been poisoned.

"Plum snake, this snake is extremely venomous, and most people who drive the mountain road are reluctant to provoke," Uncle Niu, explained to Xiao Yu in a whisper.

"There are so many of us, and we're still afraid of that thing?" Mr. Joon asked.

The cattle driver smiled bitterly, "Of course we are not afraid, this is just our taboo, because the snake has a strong sense of revenge, if you can't catch him, he will take revenge on you!" I once heard a friend say that the mountain people over there were chased by snakes for hundreds of miles because they were annoyed by snakes. ”

"Hiss," Mr. Joon said with a long breath, "It's really terrifying, and in the mountains, snakes are estimated to run faster than people, so it's not like they're going to die."

The cattle herder nodded, then looked up! The leader was still holding the branch for fear of hitting the surrounding bushes, and it was estimated that after about half an hour, he beckoned to everyone behind him and motioned for everyone to follow.

The three-waisted cave looks not big, about 30 meters deep, more than 10 meters wide, there are some weeds in the corners of the cave, like a sleeping place, and it is relatively humid, and there are some weeds growing in it, although the place is not big, but more than 50 people can also settle it.

Entering the cave, everyone's hearts suddenly relaxed, and they all gathered on the ground to take out food to enjoy, fortunately, the ghost corpse killed the bear at the beginning, and let them save some bear meat, otherwise they would not be able to sustain themselves now by relying on the little dry food they bought.

Those students are also very powerful, originally Xiao Yu thought that they would not be able to get here, but no one shouted bitterly along the way, although everyone complained, but they were also cleaning up, which made Xiao Yu a little impressed by these students.

After the uncle led the way into the cave, he walked out, and came back after a while, with some grass-like things in his hand, and the uncle called him daylily, which is a grass plant, non-toxic, and can be used to satisfy hunger.

"Now that we don't have much food on us, I don't think we should set off tomorrow, rest here for a few days, prepare some food, and then go into the mountains, otherwise it will be too dangerous to rush into the mountains like this."

"That's right, it's not as easy as the front mountain to enter the back mountain, everyone has seen it inside, it's very barren, even if there are beasts, we are not opponents, so it's better to prepare some food outside, so that you won't be hungry when you go in."

Lao Bai also nodded in approval, these days he eats meat, he has already eaten and is about to vomit, and this meat has no salt taste, I am afraid that I will have to drink water if I eat too much, so it is very light, because a spring can only be seen far away, so the water has to be saved.

The leader propped up a top jar on his back on several large wooden stakes, and then began to light the fire, and at this time which professor took out some dried vegetables, this is the vacuum of green vegetables, in order to replenish nutrition in the mountains, now that everyone is resting, so take it out and boil some soup to drink.
