Chapter 2137 Zhelong Village

Seeing Peacock's interested eyes and Ada's somewhat wary eyes, Zhao Shucheng smiled and continued to explain.

"Peacock, you should notice that some butterflies are very common, such as white, black, and patterned ones. But there are also some that are rare, such as slightly larger butterflies."

Zhao Shucheng said as he took out a photo album from his backpack. After opening it, he found that there were many photos of butterflies in it, along with the names of some butterflies and related information, size, shape, etc.

Zhao Shucheng began to introduce the names of these butterflies to the peacock, as well as their distribution range, especially the rose butterfly, golden-spotted swallowtail butterfly, double-tailed brown swallowtail butterfly, etc.

"Especially this kind of Kashenf ghost beauty swallowtail butterfly. This is a variant of butterfly. The left and right wings are different. One side has the face of a beauty, and the other side has the image of a devil. And this kind of butterfly is only found in Yunnan Province. , it doesn’t exist outside of Dian Province. This butterfly was accidentally discovered by a foreigner who fled our country in the 20s.”

"There is also this kind of double-tailed brown swallowtail butterfly, which only exists in western Yunnan. It often draws water from the wet ground. It is a rare and precious butterfly species in the world, and its number is very rare, especially as it inhabits The land has been destroyed and is on the verge of extinction.”

"The reason why we went to Bug Valley to catch butterflies is because the name Bug Valley indicates that there are many insects inside, so there may be unique species of butterflies. If we can find butterflies that have not been recorded yet, it will be in the natural sciences. A new discovery in history can even name this butterfly after us, and even make it famous for generations.”

Ada and Peacock saw Zhao Shucheng's excited expression, especially his expression of wanting to enter the Worm Valley now, and felt that what Zhao Shucheng said seemed to be true.

"So the butterflies here are so powerful?" the peacock said in surprise.

"Of course, we must let those foreigners see it, and we must not let our butterflies here be given foreign names."

Hu Bayi and others also looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously, because although they used the name of catching butterflies, they never made much preparation. But when they saw the photo album prepared by Zhao Shucheng and how many treasures they had, they felt that their own preparations were not enough.

When Ada heard what Zhao Shucheng said, he glanced at a few people, turned around and left without saying a word.

When Peacock and Ada went to cook, Hu Bayi and the others came to Zhao Shucheng's side and said, "Master Zhao, you are well prepared!"

Zhao Shucheng glanced at them and said: "Is this enough? I can only say that you have no intention! Do you think that just pretending to be an identity is enough? This is not the past, so local masters should be more professional."

When Zhao Shucheng said this, he couldn't help but fall into memories. In the rural village where he was a child, an exploration team once came to his hometown, saying they were looking for some mineral deposits. They brought professional equipment and explored the surrounding towns for a long time, but they disappeared soon after, saying that they found nothing.

But in fact, according to people's gossip later, this group of people was not a real exploration team at all, but in fact a group of tomb robbers. The focus of their exploration was an isolated mountain in the town, which was rumored to be a prince's cemetery, but in the end it was discovered that it was just an extinct volcano. Of course, the exploration team is not only exploring here, but also in many places across the country. In some places they thought it was a treasure, but what they dug out was an iron pillar. Of course, real ancient tombs were also found, and some gold and silver ingots were left on site. , but the more valuable things have long since disappeared, and must have been taken away by the exploration team.

Leaving behind gold and silver ingots was just a cover-up to show that they were a real exploration team, but ignored that they might take away more valuable things. The exploration team has been operating in Shili and Baxiang for more than a year without revealing their secrets. This shows how much preparation they have made for this and how long they have been doing it in this way.

The reason why Zhao Shucheng was well prepared was because he did not want to arouse suspicion among the locals and cause trouble for their next actions.

When the next few people saw Ada's indifference, they stopped asking Peacock for directions to Worm Valley, intentionally or unintentionally.

Unfortunately, Ada saw through the group's plan. When Peacock wanted to speak several times, he always mentioned the waterway, but he stopped him wherever he went.

When Zhao Shucheng saw Ada's appearance, he stopped Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang who were about to make excuses, and said, "Forget it, this should be the secret of their village, and they will not tell outsiders easily." '

Shirley Yang frowned and said: "If we can't walk by water, we have to climb over a snow-capped mountain with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. Although we have brought climbing equipment, without a guide, risking climbing over a snow-capped mountain is no joke."

Zhao Shucheng smiled after hearing this and said: "Actually, it's okay. We have walked through Kunlun Mountain before, and this snow mountain is similar. There is no road in the world, but there are only roads when more people walk. What's more, even they If you don’t tell us how to get to the waterway, there’s nothing we can do. You know, it just rained today, so there must be rivers in the waterway. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to get across if you find the river?”

"Master Zhao, it has to be you. If it were us, we would just think about how to inquire with them."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "As the saying goes, it is best to have a guide. You can find a way without us."

"Yes, we have come across so many dangers. Now we are just looking for a way. It will not be difficult for us at all." Wang Kaixuan agreed.

Everyone knows that there is no way to find out the road, and they also know that it is useless to worry now, so they should eat and drink. After eating and drinking, they are ready to rest and be energetic enough to explore the road tomorrow.

Eighteen monsters of Yunnan, three mosquitoes and one dish. Zhao Shucheng was fine, but the fat man was tortured by mosquitoes. Fortunately, Shirley Yang prepared mosquito repellent water in advance, which allowed him to sleep comfortably. The peacock smelled the mosquito repellent water and found it very fragrant. Seeing this, Shirley Yang gave it to the peacock.

The next day, the sky cleared.

After Zhao Shucheng and the others got up, they had a simple breakfast and then started packing their things and getting ready to set off.

Peacock saw the four of them off for a while, and when he saw that they were about to leave, he hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't bear the risk of the group of people, and told them that there was a cave under Zhelong Mountain that allowed them to pass through the snow-capped mountains and enter the Insect Valley.

When the group of people followed the direction pointed by the peacock and prepared to go to the waterway, they first saw many cow heads in the forest.

Thinking of Peacock telling them before, they could see the waterway after passing Niutou Ridge. They originally thought that Niutou Ridge was because the mountain looked like a cow's head, but no one expected that it was because there were so many cow heads in it.

Seeing these many cow heads hanging on the trees, the atmosphere in the forest suddenly became strange, even a little scary.

"Lao Hu, Mr. Zhao, why are there so many cow heads here? It's really scary."

Shirley Yang stopped and said: "Many ancient villages have some ancient Western symbols. The ancestors would hang totems in such ominous places to indicate danger. I guess this is the same meaning here."

Hu Bayi said: "It seems that Peacock is right. This is indeed the direction leading to the Zhelong Mountain waterway." Hu Bayi just looked at the traces on the ground and could also see the waterway where yesterday's rainwater flowed.

Just as Zhao Shucheng was about to follow Hu Bayi and the others, he suddenly heard a sound from behind, and it was also the sound of someone stepping on a tree branch. Zhao Shucheng knew that it was the people from Zhelong Village who found out that they were going to Insect Valley. In fact, the best way is not to let this person go back to report the news, but Zhao Shucheng can't do it without any reason, not to mention Hu Bayi and the others will not agree.

What's more, if they really killed someone, Peacock and Ada would also be suspected, and even be ostracized by the people in the village because of it. Zhao Shucheng thought about it again and again, but still pretended that nothing had been discovered.

However, Zhao Shucheng hurriedly caught up with Hu Bayi and the others and said, "Old Hu, someone was following us just now, and now he has gone back to report the news. The people in Zhelong Village must know that there is the Tomb of King Xian in the Worm Valley, even if they don't know that it is the Tomb of King Xian , and we also know that there is treasure inside. If outsiders enter the Worm Valley, they will definitely send people to chase us. There are unruly people in the poor mountains and rivers, so we should set off early to avoid running into them."

The fat man nodded and said, "Yes, we'd better not have contact with them."

The fat man saw the prey that Ada brought back yesterday. He used a shotgun, and the shot hit the center of the eyebrow. Although Ada may not necessarily catch up, there is no guarantee that other people in the village will catch up with guns. He has a mortal body and bullets are ruthless. If he is beaten, no one in the wilderness will answer him.

Several people quickened their pace and left Niutou Ridge. They soon came to the river and saw the still somewhat turbid water.

If you want to walk on the waterway, you must have a boat or a bamboo raft. You can't see it now, so the group can only make their own bamboo rafts.

Fortunately, the four people worked together and divided the labor. They quickly cut the bamboo in the nearby forest and made a bamboo raft. They put on the protective clothing prepared by Shirley Yang, jumped on the bamboo raft one by one, and set up a lighting lamp in front of the bamboo raft. , began to go down the river, preparing to sail into the Worm Valley by waterway.

In Zhelong Village, several old people in the village were having final discussions on the candidate for the new clan leader.

The old patriarch Enkuan still hopes that his son will succeed him as the patriarch. Unfortunately, others are quite critical of this and feel that there is someone more suitable.

At this time, the people who followed Zhao Shucheng and the others into Niutou Ridge broke into the conference room and talked about outsiders entering the Worm Valley.

After Enkuan heard the news, he began to make a calculation in his mind. He thought that if he used the reason of preventing outsiders from entering the Worm Valley to dig for treasure, he could make his son perform meritorious service, so that others would have no reason to stop him.

So Enkuan directly asked Peacock to call Peacock, and asked Peacock if he had leaked the secrets of the clan, and then accused Peacock of leaking the secrets of the clan, and wanted to drive Peacock out of Zhelong Village and never return.

In order to prevent his sister from being punished, Ada was willing to follow Enkuan's son Zeva to the Worm Valley to catch the intruder. Seeing this, other young people also agreed to go with him.

Unfortunately, by the time Zhalong and others entered the mountain, Zhao Shucheng and the others had already followed the bamboo raft slowly towards the depths of the cave. The temperature was getting colder and colder, and they could even feel the water gradually accelerating.

An hour after Zhao Shucheng and the others entered the cave, the people from Zhelong Village came to the river with weapons. However, Zhao Shucheng had cleaned up the traces before boarding the bamboo raft, and even hid some items very deep. The pursuers did not find any trace of them for a while.

However, the people in Zhelong Village all grew up in the mountains and often hunted in the mountains and forests, so they soon knew based on the vague traces and the chopped bamboo roots in the bamboo forest that Zhao Shucheng and the others must have used bamboo rafts to travel along the river. We followed the waterway towards Worm Valley.

Enkuan naturally knew that he had to hurry up, so he asked people in the village to chop bamboo and make bamboo rafts. Unfortunately, after they set up the bamboo raft, it had been nearly three hours since Zhao Shucheng and the others left.

Zhao Shucheng and the others felt that the water flow was getting faster and faster, so they could only lower their center of gravity and advance slowly in the water cave.

"Why has the water flow become so fast?" Fatty Wang asked.

"Be careful and stay safe!"

As the bamboo raft progressed, the water flow became more and more rapid. Even when it reached a fork, one side was gentler, while the other side had a drop and the water flow was very fast.

Hu Bayi said: "Master Zhao, which way should we go?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at it and said: "One of the two roads is less dangerous, but it will take some detours and takes a little longer. The other road, although there is some danger, can go directly to Worm Valley."

But before Zhao Shucheng could finish saying which one was better, the fat man directly used the bamboo pole to move the bamboo raft along the fast-flowing waterway.

"Fat man, you are really good. We don't have to choose now. It's a dangerous waterway, so everyone should be careful."

Zhao Shucheng looked at the front as he spoke and found a place that was very low, and said, "Squat down and lower your head!"

The others' reaction was not slow. When they heard Zhao Shucheng say this, they knew there must be danger and hurriedly squatted down and lowered their heads.

Soon everyone passed through the low water hole, and the water flow became gentle.

Shirley Yang suddenly looked ahead and said, "What is that?"

Zhao Shucheng and the others looked in the direction where Shirley Yang's flashlight pointed, and saw some unknown things hanging from the top of the water hole, each like a cocoon.

Zhao Shucheng frowned and looked at it warily, and said: "This is a human chrysalis. Do you remember? King Xian's people are all good at using Gu insects. This is a burial object and a guardian of the ancient tomb, so the body is full of Gu worm, don’t touch it easily, let’s go quickly!”

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng directly took the bamboo pole from Wang Kaixuan's hand and quickly passed through here on the bamboo raft. After hearing this, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan did not hesitate. They took out the engineering shovels from their backpacks and helped row the boat quickly.

After the bamboo raft finally got out of the area where the living figurines were hung, they heard the sound of something falling into the water behind them. Everyone thought it was the people from Zhelong Village who were chasing after them, but when they looked back, they found that it was someone from Zhelong Village who was chasing after them. Living figurines fell into the water.

"I said Mr. Xian Wang is not hanging a human chrysalis in this hole just to hit people with it, right? But this reaction is too slow. We have all left, is there any need to smash it down? Are we safe?" Wang Kaixuan said easily.

Zhao Shucheng frowned and looked behind him, and said, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and row! This mechanism has been activated for some reason. We have to hurry up and get out of here."
