Chapter 137: The End of Bear Ridge
【Start simulation! 】

[You hold the mud pill you got from the man who claims to be the real Boss Li in your mouth, wear a necklace that can reduce strange erosion around your neck, hold a shotgun loaded with nine bullets in your hand, and enter the depths of Bear Ridge.]

[Deep in the Bear Ridge, although it doesn’t look unusual from the outside, once you walk in, you’ll feel a bone-chilling cold all over your body, as if something is staring at you once you enter the depths of the Bear Ridge.]

[You are not entering the depths of Bear Ridge without a purpose, but with a clear goal. In the depths of Bear Ridge, your main goal is to find the place in Bear Town where the man who claims to be the real Boss Li met the mysterious beggar.]

[According to the man who claimed to be the real Boss Li, his car was scrapped deep in the Gouxiong Ridge. Then his shadow replaced him and walked out of the depths of Gouxiong Ridge. His shadow is the Boss Li who has been planning for ten days and is holding the parchment.

Then, half a year later, a mysterious beggar came to the depths of Gouxiong Ridge and reached a deal with a man who claimed to be the real Boss Li. The real Boss Li needed to disguise himself as a mysterious beggar and go to the south gate of Gouxiong Town to beg all day long. After Bald Qiang gave him alms, he would give the mud pill to Bald Qiang.

The mysterious beggar brought the real Boss Li to the depths of a cave. In the depths of the cave, the mysterious beggar used parchment to give Boss Li a body. He also promised that after the matter was done, he could leave Bear Ridge. 】

[And now, you have to find a way to find the scrapped car of the man who claims to be the real Boss Li! And the cave. ]

[However, when you entered the depths of Gouxiong Ridge, you discovered the loophole of the man who claimed to be the real Boss Li. The first and most obvious thing is that Zhou Xiaochuan walked in the depths of Gouxiong Ridge for a while and found that except for the front area in the depths of Gouxiong Ridge which was relatively open and could accommodate cars, the rest of the area was very narrow!
Deep in Gouxiong Ridge, most roads are only wide enough for one person to pass through, and there are dense trees on both sides of the road. It is impossible for a car to drive in the depths of Gouxiong Ridge for more than a minute.

Secondly, the man who claimed to be the real Boss Li said that after his car was scrapped, he saw his shadow condense into substance under the moonlight and eventually replaced him. But it is obvious that standing in the depths of Gou Xiong Ridge, the sky you look up at is gray and completely different from the sky outside.

There were no clouds or sun in the sky. For some reason, no light could penetrate the depths of Gou Xiong Ridge, but the depths of Gou Xiong Ridge always maintained a certain level of visibility. Since no light could penetrate the depths of Gou Xiong Ridge, how could the man who claimed to be Boss Li see his shadow solidify under the moonlight?

[Although his words are suspicious, you are still unwilling to give up this remaining clue and explore deeper into the Bear Ridge.]

[After walking deep in the Bear Ridge for a while, you suddenly discovered something very strange and wrong.]

[The soil deep inside the Bear Ridge is even wetter and softer than the outer areas of the Ridge. A light step on the ground will leave obvious marks. However, Zhou Xiaochuan did not see any footprints or signs of people in the depths of the Bear Ridge! ]

[Even if it was too long ago that Bald Qiang and Boss Li went to the depths of Gou Xiong Ridge ten days ago and the traces have disappeared, then yesterday and today, Boss Li went to the depths of Gou Xiong Ridge, so there should be footprints left, right?]

[However, in fact, in the depths of Gouxiong Ridge, there are only your footprints, and nothing else.] [Originally, you wanted to track down Boss Li and see if you could find any traces left by Boss Li in the depths of Gouxiong Ridge so that you could explore what Boss Li’s real plan was, but now it seems...]

[There is no trace of Boss Li in the depths of Bear Ridge. Could it be that Boss Li went into the depths of Bear Ridge and deliberately covered up the traces? You think this is very possible. Boss Li has parchment in his hand. Not to mention covering up the traces, he can even make Bald Qiang's wooden house disappear out of thin air and let Bald Qiang be attacked by the animals in Bear Ridge.]

[But Boss Li has no need to cover up the traces! There is no other way deep in the Bear Ridge. Every tree in the depths is very close to each other, and every tree is so tall that it reaches the sky. There is no other way to go except to go straight forward.]

[You walked on the trail deep in the Bear Ridge for about twenty minutes and reached the end. Since there is only one way to go deep in the Bear Ridge, no matter which way you walk, you will end up at this place.]

[You didn't expect that the depth of the Bear Ridge is only 20 minutes away? At the end of the Bear Ridge, there are dense trees on both sides, and there are no roads on both sides. And in front of you is a stone mountain! This stone mountain is about ten stories high, the stone wall is smooth, and there is no place to climb. ]

[The road to the depths of Bear Ridge ends here, but you found nothing in the depths of Bear Ridge! No trace of Boss Li, no wrecked car of the man who claimed to be the real Boss Li, and no cave with the parchment! ]

[This is impossible! A place like this that is mentioned by so many animals in Gou Xiong Ridge, and it is also a place that Boss Li goes to every day after arriving at Gou Xiong Ridge. How could there be nothing there? ]

[If there is nothing in the depths of Gouxiong Ridge, then the clues to Gouxiong Ridge have been cut off here! Originally you thought that all the answers could be found in the depths of Gouxiong Ridge, but the result turned out to be this.]

[You were unwilling to give up, so you wandered around the depths of Gou Xiong Ridge five or six times, spending about twenty minutes each time, looking very carefully, but you still didn't find out what the secrets were in the other places deep in Gou Xiong Ridge.]

[You just feel your whole body getting colder and colder, and that chilly feeling gets worse as you stay deeper in the depths of the Bear Ridge. You go around and around, and finally return to the end of the Bear Ridge, facing the pair of cold stone walls.]

[You feel around on the stone wall of the stone mountain, but you don't find any secret compartment. You don't find the cave. You feel your mind getting slower and slower, and your body getting colder and colder.]

[In order to survive, you swallowed the mud pill in your mouth.]

[You feel a flash of inspiration in your mind. There is actually a hole in the middle of the stone wall! You only saw the hole after you ate the mud pill! ]
