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

Upon hearing this, Hao Xie glared at him with obvious displeasure in his tone, "Brother Fatty, can you please be quiet for a while? My head is about to explode from your noise. If you keep yelling like this, I feel like I'm going to collapse."

Fatty Wang was not convinced and retorted, "I just had good intentions. I wanted to go see how Menyouping was doing. Maybe he still needs my help. Why don't you understand me?"

Hao Xie rolled his eyes helplessly, "Do I understand you? Are you overthinking it?" The two of them started arguing behind Zhang Hao.

Suddenly, a scream was heard outside, breaking the moment of silence. Zhang Hao's face suddenly changed, "What's that sound?" he asked vigilantly.

Hao Xie looked nervous, "Zhang Hao, it seems to be the call from the archaeological team."

"Oh no, the archaeological team may be in trouble." Zhang Hao said, and was about to rush out.

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the cave where Zhang Qilin entered.

Zhang Hao's steps suddenly froze, his heart rose to his throat again, worrying about Zhang Qilin's safety.

Hao Xie also looked at Zhang Hao nervously, "Zhang Hao, is Zhang Qilin okay? Why did a roar suddenly come from the cave entrance? Why hasn't he come back yet? What should we do?"

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He quickly analyzed the current situation, then looked up and said to Hao Xie: "Go check on the archaeological team. They may be in danger. Protect their safety at all costs. We cannot lose their cooperation."

Hao Xie nodded in agreement and turned to leave. Fatty Wang stood aside, at a loss. He looked at Zhang Hao's anxious look and felt uneasy. But he didn't dare to go up and comfort him, fearing that he would be scolded by Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao stayed at the cave entrance, waiting for news from Zhang Qilin. He was extremely anxious, and kept muttering, "Menyouping, where on earth have you been? Why haven't you come back yet? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Fatty Wang stood aside silently, watching Zhang Hao's anxious look, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that it would be superfluous for him to say anything now, and could only pray silently that everything would be fine.

However, as time passed, there was still no news from Zhang Qilin.

Zhang Hao was anxiously wandering around the cave entrance, his eyes full of worry and uneasiness. Fatty Wang was completely left out, no one cared about him. He didn't dare to complain at all, and could only stand there silently, fearing that he would accidentally annoy Zhang Hao.

Hao Xie quickly crossed the space and returned to the tent, praying in his heart that nothing would happen. He secretly blamed Fatty Wang, saying that if he hadn't insisted on coming here, he would not have left the archaeological team.

However, it was too late to say this now. He could only hope that this was just a false alarm.

When he arrived at the tent, he found everything was as peaceful as before. He saw the female ghost in red standing there quietly, as if she had never left.

"What's going on? What happened just now?" Hao Xie asked puzzledly.

The red-clothed female ghost lowered her head and said weakly, "I'm sorry... It's my fault. I suddenly appeared and scared them."

Hao Xie suddenly realized that the scream just now was caused by the female ghost in red.

He finally let go of his worry, "I'm glad you're okay. Be more careful next time and don't show up so suddenly."

The red-dressed female ghost nodded repeatedly, her face full of guilt, "I'm sorry... I didn't expect it to be like this. I won't act rashly again."

Hao Xie returned to the tent and saw that the members of the archaeological team were still in shock but were fine. He explained the situation of the red-clothed ghost to them and told them not to be afraid.

After hearing this, the members of the archaeological team gradually accepted the existence of the female ghost in red.

After figuring out all this, Hao Xie brought the female ghost in red and quickly returned to Zhang Hao.

When he saw Zhang Hao still anxiously waiting for Zhang Qilin, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

"The archaeological team is fine, except for the sudden appearance of a female ghost in red who scared us." Hao Xie said with a smile.

Zhang Hao heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. However, he still stared at the cave entrance, expecting Zhang Qilin's return.

"I am so sorry, Your Excellency the Governor, for making you worry."

"I just felt uneasy and wanted to come over to take a look, but who would have thought that when they saw me, they ran away like frightened birds."

"I really didn't mean to scare them. I didn't expect it to turn out like this." After hearing what happened, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as everyone was safe and sound, he would be satisfied.

"Don't take it personally, it's just a misunderstanding."

The red-clothed female ghost was grateful when she saw that Zhang Hao did not blame her.

"Thank you, Governor, for your generosity. I will stay away from them in the future and not cause any more trouble."

Zhang Hao nodded slightly. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He turned around and looked at the female ghost in red. The deafening roar under the cave emerged in his mind.

Zhang Hao was worried about Zhang Qilin's safety, but he was helpless.

At this moment, the appearance of the female ghost in red made his eyes light up and he had an idea in his mind.

"Girl, can you please do me a favor?"

"Governor, please tell me what you want. I will do my best to help you."

"Thank you..." Zhang Hao pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Zhang Qilin has been in the cave for some time and has not returned yet. I am really worried."

"It's just that I can't go in, so I want you to go in and check out the situation. Is that okay?"

Upon hearing this, the female ghost in red agreed to Zhang Hao's request without hesitation.

"Don't worry, Governor, I'll go check it out right away... I don't think it's anything serious, you just wait here."

Zhang Hao felt relieved when he saw the red-clothed female ghost agreed, but he still did not forget to give her instructions.

"The situation inside is unclear, so you must be careful when you go in."

"Remember, when you encounter danger, don't confront it head-on. Try to get out of it first. Got it?"

"Whether or not we can find Zhang Qilin, we must come back as soon as possible."

The red-clothed female ghost wrote down Zhang Hao's instructions one by one. After she was ready, she gradually floated into the narrow cave to look for Zhang Qilin's trace.

Seeing this, Fatty Wang quietly approached Hao Xie and finally dared to speak.

"Hao Xie, do you think Menyouping will not really encounter any misfortune?"

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Hao Xie glared at Fatty Wang and signaled him to be quiet.

As the figure of the female ghost in red disappeared into the cave, Zhang Hao could only wait anxiously.

Fatty Wang didn't dare to say anything more. After all, Zhang Hao was in a bad mood at the moment, and he didn't want to bring bad luck to him.

Hao Xie was also praying secretly in his heart, hoping that the female ghost in red could bring good news.

Time passed quietly without anyone noticing.

Suddenly, a red shadow flashed by, and Zhang Hao and others were startled.

When they looked carefully, they saw a female ghost in red appear in front of them.

Everyone was surprised; they didn't expect her to come back so soon.

Zhang Hao looked puzzled, staring at the red-dressed ghost with wide eyes. "What's going on? Why did she come back so soon?"

"Did something happen in there? Did you see Zhang Qilin?"

"Tell me quickly, what's going on? It's really worrying..." Seeing Zhang Hao so anxious, the female ghost in red hurried to explain.

"Governor, it's not what you think. I was ejected by a strange force."

"Strange power? What's going on?"

"What happened to you?"

The female ghost in red thought for a moment and looked at Zhang Hao with a firm expression.

"Governor, there seems to be a barrier under the cave. After I entered the cave and walked down for more than ten meters, I encountered this barrier."

"The barrier was extremely powerful. I couldn't get close to it. I tried to get closer, but as soon as I touched it, I was violently bounced back."

"I didn't see Zhang Qilin either. It was quiet inside."

The red-clothed female ghost narrated what she had seen. The barrier seemed to have been deliberately set up by someone. It glowed faintly, like a powerful air shield that sealed the cave passage tightly, making it impossible to pass through.

After listening to the narration of the female ghost in red, Zhang Hao fell into deep thought.

"Strange, why is there a barrier below? What secret is hidden?"

"There must be a secret unknown to the public, and it must be extremely secret, otherwise there would not be a barrier to protect it."

"Hearing what you said, I roughly understand that the roar at the cave entrance earlier should have been made when Menyouping touched or tried to break the barrier."

"I think this barrier is not easy to touch, otherwise Menyouping would have broken it long ago."

Zhang Hao and Hao Xie had the same idea, and both of them thought so.

But where did Zhang Qilin go?

After entering the cave, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and there was no news from him. How could Zhang Hao not be worried?

Zhang Hao analyzed it carefully and slowly looked at everyone. "If I'm not mistaken, this powerful barrier may be protecting another dimension."

"This space must be extraordinary. There must be something extremely important that needs to be protected, so such a powerful barrier was set up."

"Menyouping, Menyouping, when will you come back?"

"If I had known this, I would never have let you in!"

Zhang Hao became more and more uneasy, and his heart was in a knot. Whenever he thought that Zhang Qilin might be in danger, he blamed himself and felt that he had failed to stop him and put him in danger.

Hao Xie could see what Zhang Hao was thinking and could understand his feelings.

"Okay, don't worry too much. I believe Menyouping will be fine."

"He is quite powerful, and he has the Qilin protecting him, so he will be fine."

"You won't solve the problem if you keep getting anxious."

Zhang Hao naturally understood this truth, but he just couldn't control his emotions. As long as Zhang Qilin didn't return, he would not be at peace.

Fatty Wang couldn't help himself and gently tugged at the corner of Hao Xie's clothes. Hao Xie glanced at Fatty Wang and asked helplessly, "What's wrong with you?"

Fatty Wang glared at Hao Xie in dissatisfaction and muttered, "Hao Xie, how about I go down and take a look?"

"Maybe I can help Menyouping and get him back sooner."

"This way everyone won't have to worry so much, don't you think?"

“Hahahaha…” Hao Xie couldn’t help but burst into laughter after hearing what Fatty Wang said.

"What are you laughing at? What does this mean?" Fatty Wang was a little angry and felt that Hao Xie was looking down on him.

"Fatty Wang, please be quiet for a while, do you still want to go down and take a look?"

"Don't you look at your own physique? Look at the hole. You are so big and strong."

"I'm afraid you'll get stuck at the entrance before you even get in. You'd better give up the idea."

Fatty Wang was very unhappy with Hao Xie's teasing and immediately retorted.

"Hao Xie, what do you mean?"

"Isn't this obvious? You have to accept the reality and stop daydreaming."

"Take a good look at yourself. How big the hole is and how strong your body is."

"Either you get stuck in the hole or you squeeze the hole open. That's the reality."

Hao Xie responded to Fatty Wang bluntly, just wanting him to behave himself at this critical moment so as to prevent Zhang Hao from becoming more upset or even having wild thoughts.

Fatty Wang was speechless after being rebuked by Hao Xie, and he didn't know how to fight back. Hao Xie glared at Fatty Wang, then turned around and walked to Zhang Hao.

"How about this, if you're really worried, I'll go down and take a look?"

"By the way, check out the situation inside. Maybe it's not that bad."

Zhang Hao was still a little hesitant after hearing what Hao Xie said. He didn't know whether he should agree to Hao Xie's proposal. If there was something strange inside, going in one by one would only increase the danger.

Zhang Hao paced back and forth at the entrance of the cave, undecided. Suddenly, there was a noise coming from the entrance of the cave.

Everyone suddenly became nervous and looked over in unison.

"Menyouping...it's him who's back. It's really him..."

"Zhang Hao, look, Menyouping seems to be injured."

"Quick... pull him out! Be careful..."

Zhang Hao, Hao Xie and others hurriedly ran towards Zhang Qilin, who struggled to crawl out of the cave. He was covered in blood, exhausted, and pale.

After crawling out of the cave, he collapsed to the ground, breathing weakly.

At this moment, it seemed as if even breathing had become a luxury for Zhang Qilin. He felt so weak all over that he couldn't even support his body.

Zhang Hao rushed to the front, tightly grasped Zhang Qilin's arm, and anxiously checked his injuries, repeatedly asking: "How did you get hurt so badly? What happened to you?"

"You've been gone for a long time, and we were worried to death! Tell us quickly, what hurt you like this?" Zhang Hao's voice was full of anxiety and uneasiness. His eyes fell on Zhang Qilin's bloodstained body, and he felt heartbroken.

Zhang Qilin took a deep breath, then slowly spoke, telling the story one by one: "Inside the cave entrance, there is a powerful barrier guarding it. In order to find out the truth, I rushed into the barrier regardless of everything. When I entered, the roar was deafening, but it did not cause any harm to me. These injuries were sustained inside the barrier."

He paused and continued, “You don’t know that within that barrier is the Yin-Yang Gate between the Yang World and the Yin World.

However, it was not a real space connection, and seemed to be shrouded by some kind of evil magic. I tried to get closer, but was strongly attacked. Although I had the Qilin tattoo to protect my body, I still couldn't escape unscathed, and ended up being injured like this. "

Zhang Hao was shocked after hearing this, and frowned: "The Yin-Yang Gate is protected by evil magic? What is going on?" He felt that the matter was far more complicated than he had imagined, and there were unknown secrets hidden in it. (End of this chapter)
