"Brother Bo, what should we do? Should we go check on him?"

After listening to Fatty Wang's story, Old Hu's expression changed slightly, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

If the snake's molt is the size of a snakeskin bag, then the snake must have been quite large.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fatty Wang started yelling, taking advantage of his master's power.

"I definitely have to go see. They scared me half to death! Bo-ye, you have to avenge me!"

The guy was covered in dust and looked pitiful, but Ji Boda wasn't buying it at all, and teased him with a strange smile:

"What revenge? Aren't you afraid that it might be the White Snake Lady?!"

What if she treats you like Xu Xian, keeping you here as a mountain bandit king, just to bear her chubby little sons?

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Old Hu was amused by his words. Although Yingzi didn't know anything about Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, she could still understand the general meaning and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Only Fatty Wang looked embarrassed, chuckling awkwardly and muttering to himself.

"Let's go back first. There shouldn't be any pythons here, but they have appeared anyway."

As the saying goes, "Where there's smoke, there's fire." We'll be nearing our destination in the next day or two, so let's not cause any unnecessary trouble.

After saying that, Ji Haobo turned and left. He didn't think he was invincible.

If he actually runs into her, that's a different story, but to expect him to actively seek her out would be a sign of mental instability.

Nothing happened that night; no large python came to attack.

Except for Fatty Wang, who had insomnia, everyone else slept soundly.

"Brother Bo, at this speed, we should arrive at our destination by this evening, but there are rumors of savages roaming that area."

When Yingzi mentioned the wild man, a hint of tension appeared on her face. She naturally felt a strange fear after hearing so much about these unknown things.

"Don't worry, according to what Lao Hu and the others said, wherever there's a Japanese fortress, it might just be these guys playing tricks."

Ji Haobo said this, but he was also a little worried. He didn't think that fortress would be as simple as it was in the story.

The things I've encountered these past few days show that the plot is definitely just the tip of the iceberg. If we really follow the plan step by step, we might not even know how we died.

The group had increased their speed considerably over the past two days, mainly because Ji Haobo no longer had the spiked club he was carrying, making his horse much more comfortable.

As we moved forward, starting in the afternoon, the forest vegetation began to thin out, and it was no longer as difficult to traverse as the old forest.

As the sun set, the group arrived at a mountain peak, below which lay a valley between two mountains.

"Brother Bo, this is the place you're talking about. It was originally called Pengyuegou (Moon-Holding Gully)."

Legend has it that a great battle took place here in ancient times, resulting in many deaths. To save trouble, the survivors threw all the corpses into the valley.

Since then, people have called this place Dead Man Valley. In recent years, some people have said they have seen wild men, so it is also called Wild Man Gully.

As for that Japanese fortress, it's rumored to be in this area, but no one has ever found it.

"Hey! The Long March has finally come to an end!"

Fatty Wang was so excited that he grinned, revealing his back teeth.

"Others can't find it because they don't have Lao Hu's sixteen-character feng shui. You should know that this is a secret technique that can even expose large tombs. Finding the Japanese fortress will be a piece of cake."

His flattery made Lao Hu blush, and unable to bear it any longer, he quickly retorted:

"You think you're so good with words? Go and catch one yourself. If it were that easy, how could such a small place possibly escape the search of someone with a purpose?"

He wasn't as confident as Fatty Wang had been. If he made such a bold statement and ended up not finding the job, it would be embarrassing.

"Alright, whatever the case, since we're here, let's do our best to find it. Whether we can find it or not is another matter."

Anyway, I didn't go back empty-handed this time!

Ji Haobo smiled at the group and took the lead, heading towards the valley.

"Hey! What Bo said is true. Since we already have a safety net, as for that fortress, it's either good fortune if we get it or bad luck if we lose it."

"Oh ho! Fatty, you've learned to use fancy words now? I never knew!"

"Damn, you underestimate me. In Beijing, if you don't have some education, it's really hard to get by. Even selling cassette tapes won't sell."

The two guys were in a good mood, following behind Ji Haobo and chatting away, which left Yingzi stunned.

When the group descended into the valley, the trees were sparse, but the bushes were thick. There were no large numbers of human remains on the ground, but there were some pits.

"Brother Bo, there seems to be something in this valley! There are quite a few large pits, and the claw marks inside are a bit scary."

Old Hu peered cautiously into the pit, his face extremely grave. Judging from the marks, the thing that dug the pit was no small.

Ji Haobo hadn't expected this situation either; it wasn't in the plot. He guessed that the large holes, about the size of a foot basin, were probably made by prairie ground otters digging up plant roots.

"Never mind all that, these pits are from a long time ago. Let's find a flat place to camp first, and we'll talk about it tonight."

"Could those holes have been dug by mandrills? Bo, should we go camp outside? I don't want to get slapped!"

Wang Pangzi felt depressed when he thought about what happened that night, and for no reason, his face started to burn.

The key issue is that not only did they get beaten up, but they didn't even get a single thing, let alone a chance to eat its flesh in revenge.

"It's getting dark soon, where can you go? Besides, the chirping of insects and birds here shouldn't be a mandrill."

Old Hu took the tent, found a spot, and began to set it up.

He naturally didn't want to spend the night there, but he really had no choice. If something happened, where could a few of them go? Running around in the dark would be even more dangerous.

"You guys keep going, I'll go gather some firewood."

Actually, Ji Haobo wanted to check the surroundings to avoid any unexpected events beyond the plot, which could lead to a sudden attack at night and cause trouble.

"Brother Bo, I'll go with you."

The two of them had been hunting together these past few days, so Yingzi habitually followed along.

"No need, it'll be dark soon. Leave the flashlight here, I'll go alone and be right back."

If Yingzi leaves with him, then Gouzi will definitely follow.

If something were to suddenly emerge from here, Lao Hu and his companion would likely be overwhelmed.

Ji Haobo walked and stopped in the valley, looking around. He remembered that there was a shack in the story.

Inside, there are not only the remains of Japanese soldiers, but also some tomb raiding tools. Let's find them and see if we can use any of them.

After circling around for a while, he finally spotted a shack that had mostly collapsed and was covered by withered leaves. If he hadn't had good eyesight, he might not have been able to find it.

Upon closer inspection, there were indeed six or seven skeletons, several rusty guns, and a half-open bag.

Ji Haobo rummaged around inside and found that the ropes and tools were all rotten and useless.

However, two of the black hooves were still intact, so I picked them up.

Then he looked at the skeletons again. One of them was kneeling, and a katana was stuck in its abdomen, still shining as new.
