In the afternoon of the same day, the group made the last preparations and inspections, rested for a good night, and set off towards Shalong Mountain early the next morning.

The people who went to the tomb of the king this time included Ouyang Fei, Muxia, Ou Jingyan, Ou Huamin, Wang Ping, the old man, Chen Fang, Zhu Xiaoyun, Partridge Whistle, Lao Yangren, and Hua Ling, a total of 11 people.

With Ouyang Fei and their old horses, everyone didn't take any wrong path, Ouyang Fei went to Ma Zhenbang's troop station, controlled a few officers at will, and easily got a truck.

From Chuncheng to Dali, they went by truck, and it took less than a day to reach Yingpan Town, the closest town to the Lancang River, and sent the truck to let them go back, and the group walked to the Lancang River.

In the evening, after successfully arriving at the Lancang River, Ouyang Fei decided to camp here, rest for the night, and continue to set off tomorrow at dawn.

The ingredients prepared by Ouyang Fei and the others were very rich, although most of them were vegetables and dry food that were easy to preserve, but the various seasonings they carried made this ordinary ingredient extremely delicious, and as for the meat, it was naturally made from local materials.

There are fatty fish in the Lancang River, and there are all kinds of wild game in the mountains on both sides.

A picnic, so that the old foreigner Hua Ling almost swallowed his tongue, and the partridge whistle was amazed, and traveling with this gang was like going out to play.

......

The first night of departure was spent peacefully, and the next morning, everyone gathered their tents and prepared to continue their departure.

"Eh, Sister Jingjing, how long does it take to get from here to Shalong Mountain?" Hua Ling asked Ou Jingyan.

Ou Jingyan pointed to the Lancang River and said: "Follow the river all the way to the south, if you take a boat, you can get there in half a day, if you go from the mountains on both sides, it will be slow, I'm afraid it will take a day or two." ”

Hua Ling smiled bitterly: "How can there be a boat here? It seems that we have to use it." ”

Ou Jingyan grinned and said, "Who told you we don't have a ship?"

"Huh, where is the ship?"

Hua Ling turned her head to look around, and the partridge whistle and the old foreigner also looked at Ou Jingyan in surprise, but saw Ou Jingyan snorting at Ouyang Fei and Muxia, and said, "Na, isn't that?"

Several people looked at Ouyang Fei and Mucha together, and saw that they were rolling them up one by one, and they didn't know what material they were pulling out of their backpacks, spreading them out and putting them on the ground.

The three of them leaned over curiously, and Hua Ling asked, "Brother Ou, what is this?"

Ouyang Fei grinned and said, "This is called an inflatable rubber boat, have you ever seen the inner tube of a car tire? It's almost that kind of material, it has great buoyancy after being inflated, and there is no pressure on five or six people." ”

The three of them were suddenly, and Hua Ling smiled: "It turns out that you specially changed the route to Baiyue, just to get this thing!"

Ouyang Fei said: "Yes! This is what we bought in the hands of the US Navy, and it is all high-end military goods.

While Ouyang Fei was talking to the Partridge Whistle, he connected the pump to the air intake, pressed it continuously, and the rubber boat quickly swelled up.

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle hurriedly took the old foreigner to the side, took the pump in Muxia's hand and took the initiative to help, and the three rubber boats were quickly inflated, carried to the riverside and fixed, and then moved the equipment up.

Eleven people, three rubber boats are just right, the old man and Chen Fang, Zhu Xiaoyun and Mucha one, Ouyang Fei and Ou Jingyan, Ou Huamin Wang Ping, and three partridge whistles, but because they have an extra bamboo basket with "dividing the mountain digging armor", there is not much difference between three people and four people.

In addition to the rubber oars on the rubber boat, Ouyang Fei went to the mountain to cut some pennies for backup in order to be safe.

After getting ready, the group rowed the rubber boat and went straight down the river, which was quite slow and very labor-saving.

More than four hours later, after turning a few tributaries, the group successfully arrived at the entrance of the cave under the Shalong Mountain, Ouyang Fei reminded: "Everyone, pay attention, you are ready to enter the underground river, turn on the searchlight, try to let the boat float on its own, the speed is not too fast, just control the direction." ”

"In addition, there are saber-toothed vipers in the underground river under Shalong Mountain, so don't put your hand in the water, in case you are bitten, the saber-toothed viper will smell blood and jump out of the water to pounce. ”

After listening to Ouyang Fei's reminder, the Partridge Whistle in the middle did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out the two battery searchlights that Ouyang Fei gave them before departure, and placed them on the bow of the boat, one left and one right.

The lights of the two rubber boats in the back are slightly offset to the sides, and the pillars of light are mainly shot to the sides, and the rubber boats in front can be seen clearly with just a little residual light, and Ouyang Fei, who is at the forefront, is shining in front of them.

These searchlights are from later generations, although they are very advanced, but searchlights are not without this era, so the partridge whistle they did not show any surprise, in fact, this battery light from later generations in addition to the longer battery life than this era, there is not much difference.

Although the seven searchlights could not illuminate the entire underground passage like Ouyang Fei's lighting fireball, they were enough to see the situation around the underground river, which was much stronger than Hu Bayi and them.

The three of them looked left and right at the environment in the cave, different from the humid and hot weather outside the mountain, and walked down the river in the cave, and the deeper they went, the more they felt the cool breeze hitting people.

From time to time, you can see swarms of phosphorus fire flickering in the distance, indicating that there are animal corpses, and it seems that this is not an inanimate world.

Drifting forward for a while, the speed of the water changed, and suddenly accelerated a lot, Ouyang Fei's reminder sounded in time, "Everyone, pay attention, this section of the river is more tortuous, and there are more big turns, control the speed of the boat, and use a penny to assist in turning." ”

Ouyang Fei is a good team leader, after all, he is an old squad leader who has been a scout for eight years, as long as his voice sounds, it can always give people a sense of reassurance.

The partridge whistle and the old foreigner held the penny, carefully propping up the left and right sides on the wall of the cave from time to time to assist the rubber boat to turn, and the environment in the cave was undoubtedly revealed under the illumination of the searchlight.

The strange scenery in the depths of the cave was unimaginable, and the beams of the strong searchlight swept by, and those jagged and strange stalactites only flashed and disappeared into the darkness, which made the Partridge Whistle feel that they had entered a strange dream labyrinth.

At this moment, the river suddenly widened, and several thinner tributaries joined it, and the speed of the water slowed down, and the partridge whistle secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

I saw that under the light, the cave walls on both sides of the front were full of rows of naturally formed smooth lava terraces, which were stacked like waves of the sea, really like a solidified silver ocean.

"Look, brother, that hole doesn't look like the mouth of a wild beast. Hua Ling suddenly pointed to the hole in front of him and shouted.

What she saw was the mouth of the beast that had entered the passage of the figurines, and the partridge whistle nodded and said, "Don't be afraid, Brother Ou, they have already walked through once, and there will be no problem." ”
