Chapter 461 Rest

Phoenix is ​​basically a legendary existence, just like a dragon. This big red bird is not a phoenix, but a pheasant. This pheasant just grows relatively large, so it spreads its wings and looks like a phoenix.

From beginning to end, the nearly three-meter-long pheasant flew in the air, like a warrior wearing warrior, looking at everyone coldly, and the strong wind stirred with his wings made the leaves of ancient trees rustling.

"Auspiciousness comes from the sky, and we will receive a large amount of goods when we enter the mountain this time." A longboy smiled.

"Gee..."

The golden pheasant singed in the air, screamed again, and then fell into the mountains and forests, and there was no movement for a moment.

"So beautiful, much more beautiful than the ones in the zoo."

"What is a zoo? They are all kept in captivity. Can it be compared with the ones here?"

The uncle led the way to look at the direction where Jinji flew away, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "We have agreed that I will only take you to Baihuling where I will not go in. When you arrive, I will go back here to wait for you."

The cattle-drivers looked at each other but didn't say anything, but they didn't want to go into the back mountain when they looked at their expressions. Xiao Yu and the others gave them too much temptation, so they didn't want to refuse. After all, this is the income of working for two years in the middle of the year. If you miss this time, you probably won't have such an opportunity in the future.

The professor looked at the back mountain with joy, then took out the map and looked at it, then whispered a few more words to Taoist Master O and the others, and finally looked at everyone and said, "This place is not far from Baihu Ridge, everyone will go to rest first and set off early tomorrow morning."

"Professor, I don't want to go there anymore. I feel uncomfortable, so I don't want to go to the back mountain anymore." A boy said embarrassedly.

"I've come here, why don't you go?"

"That's right, we girls are not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"I won't go, I feel panic when I walk here, so I don't want to go anymore." The boy shook his head with a blushing face, 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, so it is not easy to go back. If you don't go, you have to go back alone. Can you go out?"

"I……".

"Okay, don't say it. Since I have come here, I hope no one will give up or be afraid. This is just a mountain, and there is nothing to be afraid of."

Before Chen Ming finished speaking, he was interrupted by the professor. The other party said it well. If you don’t go in now, you can only have two roads to walk. One is to return to the town, but it will take half a month to walk!

Another one is waiting 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 to keep a scholar who is powerless to stay here. Wouldn't that be waiting to die?

Chen Ming didn't say anything, and seemed a little embarrassed, but he nodded in the end and agreed.

"Let's go, everyone go to the cave with me." The lead man greeted him, then pulled the surrounding plants and trees and climbed towards the cave.

The trail to the cave is very steep and the surrounding plants are also very dense, which looks a bit desolate. There is an invisible barrier between the back mountain and the front mountain, which divides the two sides. One side is towering ancient trees, while the other side is sparse, mostly low shrubs.

The lead man bowed his body and walked about fifty or sixty meters. He suddenly took two steps back, and then he stood there without any movement.

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

The lead man picked up a branch and hit the surrounding shrubs a few times before the black snake slowly raised his head. When he saw someone standing in front of him, his whole body arched, but the lead man stood there but did not move.

One person and one snake were stalemate there. After a long time, the black snake stretched out and slipped into the bushes next to it. The weeds where the black snake entreated before were still dark, as if they were poisoned.

"Plum snake, this kind of snake is extremely poisonous, and most people who travel to the mountain are unwilling to provoke it." Uncle drove the bull and explained to Xiao Yu in a low voice.

"We have so many people, and we are still afraid of that thing?" Mr. Jun asked.

The cattle driver smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I'm not afraid anymore. This is just our taboo, because the snake has a strong desire to retaliate. If you can't catch him, he will take revenge on you! I heard a friend say that the mountain people there were chased by the snake for hundreds of miles of mountain road because of angering the snake. Are you afraid?"

"Hiss..." Mr. Jun took a long breath and said, "It's indeed terrifying. Moreover, in the mountains, snakes probably run faster than people, so they don't have to wait to die."

The cattle driver nodded and then looked up to the front! The lead man was still holding branches and was afraid of hitting the surrounding shrubs. It was estimated that about half an hour had passed before he waved to everyone behind and signaled everyone to follow.

The Sanya Cave looks not big, about thirty meters deep and ten meters wide. There are some weeds in the corners of the cave, like a place to sleep. Moreover, it is relatively humid and some miscellaneous grass grows. Although the place is not big, more than fifty people can just put it in.

When they entered the cave, everyone's hearts suddenly relaxed and they all gathered together and sat on the ground to take out food to enjoy it. Fortunately, the ghost corpse killed the bears and asked them to save some bear meat. Otherwise, the little dry food they bought would not be able to maintain the present.

Those students were also very powerful. Xiao Yu originally thought that they could not get here, but no one complained about quitting along the way. Although everyone complained, they were also cleaning up, which made Xiao Yu look at these students with some admiration.

After the uncle led the way, he walked out and came back soon. After a while, he had some grass-like things in his hand. The uncle called him daylily, a medicinal herb, which is non-toxic and can be used to satisfy hunger.

"Now everyone has little food on them. I think we shouldn't set out tomorrow, take a few days off here, prepare some food, and then go into the mountain. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to enter the mountain rashly."

"That's right. It's not as easy to enter the back mountain as the front mountain. Everyone has seen it. It's very desolate. Even if there are wild animals, we are not a match. So it's better to prepare some food outside so that you won't go hungry when you go in."

Lao Bai also nodded and praised. He had eaten meat these days and was about to vomit. Moreover, the meat had no salty smell. He was afraid that he would drink water if he had eaten too much, so he was very light. Because he could only see a spring far away, so he had to save water.

The lead man supported a top pot on several large wooden stakes and then started to light the fire. At this time, a professor took out some dried vegetables, which were vacuum vegetables, in order to supplement nutrition in the mountains. Now that everyone is resting, they will take them out to make some soup.
