Starting from Zanguan, it took most of the day to walk through the mountains and forests before entering the core area of ​​Ping Mountain.

This place is teeming with poisonous insects and miasma.

Every step he took made a sound that brought hundreds of poisonous insects into view.

Centipedes as thick as an arm and half a meter long, toads the size of a basketball, and spiders the size of a washbasin—these venomous insects that are hard to find in the outside world can all be easily seen here.

"This place is a paradise for poisonous insects; no wonder no one dares to come near it."

"It is precisely because no one dares to approach that this vast primeval forest was created, allowing the poisonous creatures to grow to such a size."

"Fatty, what are you doing?"

Fatty and Ding Yudie led the way, but suddenly Fatty broke away from the group and headed into the jungle on the right.

"We've traveled such a long way and we're tired and hungry. Fatty is going to prepare some wild game for everyone to try."

The fat man carefully approached the area with his entrenching tool. Suddenly, he slashed the tool into the weeds, and a snake's head leaped up the next second.

He swung his entrenching tool again, knocking the snake's head away, then bent down, picked up the entire snake carcass, and returned to his unit.

A headless, two-meter-long, bowl-thick black snake was still writhing.

"We'll have this for lunch."

"This snake is so fat, it must taste delicious. Thanks, Fatty, we're in for a treat."

Zhang Hao and his group found a clearing in the jungle, grilled and ate the giant snake, rested for a while, and then continued on their way.

They didn't arrive at a cliff at the foot of Ping Mountain until after 4 p.m.

"Oh dear, I'm exhausted! It's like looking at a mountain and running until the horse is exhausted. We've finally reached the foot of Ping Mountain."

"But there's a bottomless abyss between where we are and Ping Mountain, we can't cross it at all!"

"Uncle, is there no other road leading to Ping Mountain on the map that our ancestor gave you?"

Zhang Hao shook his head: "This is the only way."

"What should we do? How can we get across? Or should we go around the abyss and walk to the other side?"

"Everyone wait a minute, let me see if there are any other routes."

Zhang Hao arrived at the edge of the cliff and sent a sound wave towards the other side.

He planned to use his acoustic positioning ability to see what was going on on the other side.

In such open spaces, the range of sound wave localization is very large, and the situation within a radius of six or seven hundred meters can be detected.

Once the sound waves were reflected back and received by the brain, images formed in Zhang Hao's mind.

He quickly figured out what was happening below the cliff.

The Ping Mountain is indeed not much different from the situation during the Republic of China period, except that there are more collapsed areas.

At the foot of Ping Mountain is a place where an ancient emperor refined elixirs, and there is also an ancient tomb of a Ming Dynasty general.

Back then, the Unloading Ridge and Moving Mountain teams had already explored this area, and many of their mechanisms and traps had been destroyed.

However, the number of poisonous insects has not decreased at all.

For decades, almost a century, no one has come here, and the poisonous insects below are even more dangerous than they were back then.

I never imagined that the sacred medicine of the Miao village, Flying Blood Seed, would grow in such a place.

Zhang Hao pointed down the cliff and said, "There's an entrance to the interior of Bottle Mountain at the bottom of the cliff. Let's go down!"

The fat man glanced down the cliff a few times and said, "Brother Zhang Hao, we don't know how high this cliff is. It's covered in thick fog, and we can't see anything down there. How did you know there's an entrance to the interior of Bottle Mountain down there?"

Zhang Hao pointed to his ear: "I could tell from it."

"Holy crap, Brother Zhang Hao, you're not kidding me, are you? To be able to hear what's happening below from such a deep cliff, isn't that an ability only the Unloading Ridge sect can have?!"

"I've also heard that, according to legend, the chief of the Xieling ridge during the Republic of China era had the ability to hear the wind and thunder and could discover ancient tombs by sound."

"Uncle, you really recognized it? You're amazing! How can you know everything?"

Zhang Hao smiled. He was using sound wave positioning, which was far more advanced than listening to the wind and thunder.

Mastering the art of listening to the wind and thunder requires extensive experience and has significant limitations.

You need to rely on experience to judge the differences in sound to guess what's underground.

With sound wave positioning, as long as the sound waves are reflected back, an image will automatically appear in your mind, and you will know at a glance what is underground, which is obviously much more advanced.

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Let's go down now before it gets completely dark, so we can find Fei Xuejian sooner and get the gallbladder from Poshan sooner."

"Okay, let's get ready and go down."

Everyone put down their backpacks and took out climbing ropes and safety buckles to prepare.

The fat man used a special method to connect several climbing ropes together, fixing one end to the cliff and throwing the other end down the cliff.

After pulling hard a few more times to make sure there were no problems, the group began to descend the cliff using the climbing rope.

Zhang Hao secured the safety buckle to the climbing rope and jumped off the cliff, beginning his rapid descent.

A dozen minutes later we reached the bottom of the cliff.

The area is densely vegetated and overgrown with weeds.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and each step sank half a meter in.

At the same time, large and small bubbles began to bubble up all around.

This dark and damp environment is perfect for poisonous insects to grow, and coupled with the lack of human habitation, it is simply a paradise for poisonous insects.

"This way!"

After the others came down, Zhang Hao led everyone toward the entrance to Ping Mountain.

"Holy crap, look over there!"

After taking only a few steps, the fat man pointed ahead and shouted.

All that could be seen in front of them were giant centipedes, as thick as an arm and half a meter long, scattered on the ground, in the trees, and in the grass.

These centipedes were densely packed, numbering at least thousands.

The sight of so many giant centipedes gathered together is enough to make one's scalp tingle.

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie instinctively moved closer to Zhang Hao.

Just then, the centipedes also noticed Zhang Hao and his group's appearance.

With a "whoosh," hundreds and thousands of centipedes, each half a meter long, moved rapidly toward them.

These centipedes moved incredibly fast, covering more than ten meters in the blink of an eye before arriving in front of everyone.

Everyone took out their preferred weapons and stood ready for battle.

Zhang Hao was preparing to use his devouring ability to absorb the life force of these centipedes.

Just then, he noticed something was wrong.

These giant centipedes stopped two or three meters away from him, never daring to take another step.

Thousands of giant centipedes were piled on top of each other, but none of them dared to go any further.

Occasionally, one or two centipedes will slip off from other centipedes and enter this area, but they will immediately turn around and desperately try to escape.

Everyone looked puzzled when they saw this.

"Have you noticed, everyone? These centipedes don't dare to come near us at all."

"It's like something terrible is blocking it, it's so strange."

"Uncle, is there some treasure on you that they are afraid of?"

Before Wu Tianzhen could finish speaking, Zhang Qilin also looked at Zhang Hao.

"I don't seem to have any insect-repelling treasures on me. Even Qilin blood requires bloodletting to repel insects!"

"If that's the case, why doesn't the giant centipede dare to approach?"

For some reason, Zhang Hao took two more steps forward, and the centipedes retreated half a meter.

Zhang Hao knew that the problem lay with him.

Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him.

Previously, it was necessary to bleed to repel insects with Qilin blood. However, the Qilin blood in my body has evolved to level 4, and all its attributes are 8 times that of the original Qilin blood. Could it be that because of this, Qilin blood can now repel insects without bleeding?
