My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Just a moment ago, he almost vomited, but he was afraid of affecting Zhang Hao, so he had to hold it back.

Zhang Hao took out a jacket from his backpack, threw one to each person and said, "We can't help it. The distance is too far. It should have taken only a moment to get there, but this time it took more than a minute."

Another part of the reason is that they are too heavy. Although Zhang Hao is very capable, he cannot ignore the weight of three big men and three big backpacks!
In order to protect the fat comrade's self-esteem, he did not say these words.

"Little Third Master!"

In the distance, a man hurried over, also wearing a windbreaker and carrying a backpack. Zhang Hao noticed that he was also carrying a shovel on his back, and he was obviously ready to go down to the tomb with them.

Zhang Hao glanced at Hao Xie with a questioning look. Hao Xie understood what he meant and turned to the man and said, "Uncle Liu, why are you dressed like this?"

"I want to go down to the tomb with you, otherwise it's too dangerous."

"This... the place we are going to is even more dangerous. You are here on behalf of the Wu family. I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Since you've come to see me, I have to be responsible for your safety, Master San, let me go down with you."

Under Uncle Liu's insistence, Hao Xie finally agreed to let him go with him.

Zhang Hao didn't care too much about Uncle Liu's joining. Instead, he thought it was a good thing. Uncle Liu would put Hao Xie first in everything, and he could be a little more distracted.

Changbai Mountain is a place with lush forests and abundant soil and natural spiritual energy. Zhang Hao can clearly feel the spiritual energy here, and therefore feels relaxed both physically and mentally.

"Lao Zhang, I see that you look good. Do you think the scenery here is beautiful? Let me tell you, when Xiao Haoxie and I came here before..."

Fatty Wang began to talk incessantly about his and Hao Xie's previous experience here, trying to ease Zhang Hao's nervousness.

However, he didn't know that although Zhang Hao had never set foot here, he was extremely familiar with it.

That’s right, although I haven’t been there in person, it feels like déjà vu.

Perhaps it is because the spiritual energy of the earth contained in his body resonates with the spiritual energy here.

On the way up the mountain, the temperature gradually dropped, and Uncle Liu kept asking about Hao Xie's physical condition with concern.

In his eyes, Hao Xie is always the master's child that he held in his arms when he was young, even though Hao Xie is now over thirty years old.

There are more than nine hours left until the doors of the Polar Tower close.

When he came, Zhang Hao had already memorized the map.

The entrance on the map is marked on the side of the main peak, but as we walked along, we saw that the area was all dense vegetation, so the entrance was obviously not here. At least rocky terrain was needed to support the entrance.

On the other side of the beach, there is exactly this kind of landform, but it is sparsely populated and belongs to another country's territory. If you want to go there, you must be low-key and accurate.

After discussing it, several people unanimously decided to split into two groups and set out separately to see who can attract the other side's attention and create opportunities for the other team.

The team was divided into two, with Zhang Hao on one team alone, because everyone believed that with Zhang Hao's current strength, he could not only deal with the opponent alone, but also go deep into the tomb to find out what was going on.

When the two teams separated, they agreed on a communication signal, which was a whistle.

After walking alone for a long time, Zhang Hao did not meet the other side's guards, but instead saw some small houses.

There was no one in the room, but there was hot tea on the table. Could it be that they had already... gone to hunt down Hao Xie and the others?

After realizing this, Zhang Hao quickened his pace and walked towards the entrance in his memory.

There was a hillside with a cave underneath. Zhang Hao seemed to feel strange energy fluctuations from inside.

After entering the cave, he heard the sound of gurgling water.

Where there is water, it means the flow of spiritual energy. If it is a large tomb, it must be built near water so that it can gather "energy" continuously.

Following the sound of water, Zhang Hao found the deep pool.

The deep pool has no obvious outlet or inlet, at least not visible on the surface, which means that the water here flows from somewhere else and the entrance may be underwater.

Zhang Hao looked around and found no other entrance except this pool of water, so he fastened his backpack tightly and jumped into the water resolutely!

As soon as he jumped down, a dark shadow suddenly attacked!

The water was too turbid and nothing could be seen clearly. There was only a vague shadow. Zhang Hao had no time to think and quickly floated to the surface.

The water on his body had a fishy smell, and that black shadow just now...what was it?
Is it a water monster? Or a ghost?
He couldn't judge.

Zhang Hao then discovered that his spiritual power seemed to have failed since he entered here.

He could not sense the distance or the strength of the spiritual power, he could only feel the existence of the spiritual power.

Is it possible that my ability has been greatly reduced here?

Or... is there a more powerful force here that I cannot identify?

Zhang Hao has always believed that there are always people better than you. He never thinks that he is the strongest person, especially a place like the "Polar Tower" that sounds like it is full of mysterious power.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Zhang Hao did not back down.

If Hao Xie and the others have been stopped, then he must work harder to enter the Polar Tower and find his third uncle, or uncover the mystery of his disappearance.

After resting for a while, Zhang Hao went into the water again.

This time he didn't jump in directly, but slowly dived along the shore. This way, he could adapt his body to the change in water temperature, and if there was any movement underwater, he could swim back to the shore quickly.

That dark shadow appeared again!

But the shadow swam to Zhang Hao and did not attack him.

This "shadow" has no substance, but rather looks like a cloud of smoke floating in the water. It has no fixed shape, but when you get close to it, you can clearly feel a gloomy aura.

This yin energy is different from evil energy.

Zhang Hao seemed to have the answer in his mind and knew what this thing was.

In dark places where there is no sunlight for many years, a special kind of "qi" will be bred. Like spiritual energy, yin energy is also born from nature. If there is no evil energy, yin energy is just yin energy and will not harm people.

Zhang Hao felt relieved and dived slowly with patience.

He could feel a shift in the current in the water, as if it was coming up from below.

The pool is full of stones and the water is a bit murky. If you are not careful, you will hit the pool wall.

Zhang Hao groped his way forward along the bottom of the water. When he reached the center of the pool, it was already pitch black all around.

This place is about ten meters away from the water surface, and Zhang Hao feels that his lung capacity is almost reaching its limit.

The next second, his hand suddenly touched nothing.

In other words, there seems to be a hole here!

Zhang Hao was delighted and reached in to touch, and found that it was indeed a hole, only about half a meter wide, and the water was flowing out of this hole.

He originally wanted to swim directly out of the hole, but he couldn't hold his breath anymore and he didn't know how deep it was, so he could only return to the surface, adjust his breathing, and dive again.

This time, he didn't go anywhere else, but swam directly towards the cave.

After entering the cave, it became narrower and narrower, but the water flow became faster and faster!
He had a feeling that he was about to reach the exit! However, when he was about to reach the exit, he was blocked by a stone wall!

There are holes all around this stone wall. It looks like it was formed naturally, but it is not enough for an adult man to pass through!

Zhang Hao silently said "I'm sorry" in his heart, then put his palms against the wall.

next moment.

boom--!
The wall collapsed and he swam into a larger pool!
But there seems to be the sound of water above this pond, the water is clearer, and you can even see fish!
Zhang Hao’s lung capacity was almost at its limit. He sped up and swam upwards, but his feet were entangled by something!

When I looked down, it turned out to be that ball of evil energy!
Zhang Hao really wanted to curse, but he couldn't open his mouth in the water, so he had to bend down to release the evil spirit.

After finally breaking free and swimming a little, he was entangled again.

How is this going?

After repeating this three times, Zhang Hao finally realized that this thing didn't just want him to die, but seemed to want to stop him.

Stop what? Stop him from surfacing?

This is too weird, could this ball of negative energy have spirituality?
He couldn't think too much now, he really couldn't hold it in any longer!

Zhang Hao dispersed the evil energy with one palm and quickly floated to the surface.

It was pitch black all around, with no light at all, but he could hear the sound of water, as if... there was a small waterfall?

Zhang Hao didn't know where to go. There was a flashlight in the backpack on his back, but he couldn't turn it on now.

He had no choice but to bite his finger and draw talismans in the air.

Without the assistance of talisman paper, the power of the spell would be greatly reduced, but fortunately it still works.

As the orange-red light gradually illuminated the entire cave, he finally saw the whole picture clearly.

It turned out that I was under a small waterfall. The waterfall was very high, I didn’t know how high it was. The falling water splashed into tiny droplets, filling the entire cave.

There was a shore on the other side of the waterfall. He swam over and when he got to the shore, he suddenly felt weak all over.

This is just the feeling of powerlessness after surviving a disaster.

He was half lying on the ground, looking left and right, and found that this was a very high cylindrical cave with many small caves around it. He probably thought it was a passage leading to somewhere else.

The water from the waterfall is very clear, but I don’t know why it becomes so dirty when it flows into the previous pool.

Before the power of the talisman dissipated, Zhang Hao took out a flashlight from his backpack and checked his equipment. There was no major problem, but the cell phone in the waterproof bag had been soaked in water and could not be turned on.

Fortunately, the blank talisman in the bag next to it was still intact.

Zhang Hao sat down cross-legged with his hands naturally placed on his knees, circulating his internal energy. After a while, bursts of white smoke came out of his body, and his wet clothes were quickly evaporated dry.

After making sure that his clothes were completely dry, Zhang Hao took out all the talisman papers and put them in his shirt pocket for easy access at any time.

I don’t know what happened to Hao Xie and the others.

Zhang Hao can now be sure that he has entered the so-called Polar Tower.

But at the same time, he didn't know whether this was a tomb or some other place, and he had only heard rumors about the Polar Tower.

There are many caves around. Which one leads to the Polar Tower?

Soon, Zhang Hao realized that he seemed unable to distinguish these caves based on their appearance alone.

Many caves look very similar, and some even connect to other caves as you go deeper.

This information can only be obtained by entering the cave in person.

After observing for a while, Zhang Hao took out several talismans from his pocket, dropped a drop of his own blood on them, and then scattered them into the air.

The talismans fluttered in the air, and after a few seconds, as Zhang Hao snapped his fingers, they suddenly stopped at the same moment!
He looked up and stared at the floating charms, and after a few seconds, he whispered, "Go."

Afterwards, the talismans continued to fly in the air and penetrated into various caves.

After a few minutes, the first talisman returned, and Zhang Hao erected a stone at the entrance of the cave as a mark to remind himself that this road was blocked.

Then, the second, third, fourth...

More and more talismans were returned, and Zhang Hao's expression became more and more solemn.

This means that the spells did not find a way out, or that the caves are dead ends.

Now, only two talismans have not returned, located directly in front of him and behind him respectively.

After waiting for about half an hour, nothing happened. Zhang Hao thought that perhaps these two talismans had found a way out.

But he still faces a choice: how to find the most suitable path?

Should we continue to move forward or backward?

A decision must be made!

-

"Oh my god, these people are really difficult to deal with. If it weren't for me being smart, we really wouldn't be able to get in today!"

The fat man complained as he walked down the mountain.

Just now, they did meet people from the mountain protection team.

The languages ​​of people living on the border of the two countries are almost the same and they can even communicate without any obstacles, but the official languages ​​are different and in sensitive areas they prefer to use their own languages.

Therefore, when Hao Xie and the others were captured by the mountain protection team, those people even wanted to take them away on the grounds that they could not communicate in the language and were suspected of being spies.

Fatty Wang guessed that there must be many people who wanted to come here to rob tombs, and they must have encountered this situation many times. If everyone was captured, they probably wouldn't be so poor, and there must be other ways.

At this time, Uncle Liu came out and talked to the other party in a familiar manner. Seeing the other party's gradually easing expression, Fatty Wang knew that this matter had a chance.

But as they were talking, the other party suddenly got angry again. Fatty Wang saw that they looked nervous and thought there must be something hidden behind it, so he couldn't attack them forcefully, so he pretended to take them away.

After getting out of the surveillance range of the mountain protection team, the fat man pulled the two of them and jumped into a cave below quickly.

The entrance to the cave was covered with lush branches and leaves, which just blocked the view. The person chasing behind didn't see them, and after complaining a few words, he continued to chase forward, as if he wanted to confirm where they were going and had to see them leave with his own eyes before he could feel at ease.

Not long after they left, the fat man led his men back to the road they had just taken. With his excellent sense of direction, he successfully found the location marked on the map.

There is a cave here, and there are traces of being stepped on at the entrance. Judging from the broken grass, it is estimated that it has just been stepped on.

It should be Zhang Hao.

When Fatty Wang took out a weapon from his backpack and was about to lead the way, he was pulled behind him by Uncle Liu, the most low-key person along the way.

"Let me go first. You don't know the terrain here." (End of this chapter)
