Bai Ze shouted with dissatisfaction on his face.
"Brother Bai, don't be so stingy."
I chuckled: "I know this little money is nothing to your Bai family, can't you just treat it as a good deed?"
"Forget it, just think that I do good deeds every day. It seems that I really owe you!"
Bai Ze shook his head, looking helpless.
I didn't care, I took the food bought by the two of them, ate it to my heart's content, and then continued on my way.
After continuing to march along the southwest direction for half a day, at noon, we finally reached the range of Qipou Mountain.
Qipou Mountain is said to have been the place guarded by the Seven Great Underworld Divisions of Yin Cao since ancient times. However, later, with the collapse of the Road to Rebirth, the seven Great Underworld Divisions disappeared, and the wizard group took the opportunity to occupy Qipou Mountain as an important stronghold for themselves.
From a distance, we can see the mountains in front of us. Seven towering peaks stand under the black clouds. Miasma is everywhere, gloomy and oppressive.
These seven main peaks alone occupy a radius of hundreds of miles. Together with the surrounding mountains, the entire Qipou Mountain is estimated to stretch for hundreds of miles.
It's not easy to find peace and quiet in a place like this. I saw the solemn look on Bai Ze's face and couldn't help but pat his shoulder.
"Brother Bai, don't be discouraged. It's already a huge progress that we can come here. There is still enough time, we will definitely be able to rescue Jingjing!"
"Um!"
Bai Ze nodded, and his eyes regained some sparkle.
After some discussion, we decided to follow the local method and search the peaks one by one.
An Jingjing is trapped in the hanging coffin in Qipo Mountain, but we don’t know where the hanging coffin is.
However, since it was a hanging coffin, it should be somewhere halfway up the mountain, so we climbed to the nearest mountain peak in sight, and while climbing the mountain, we searched around for places where the hanging coffin might appear.
Just after walking for a while, the sky became darker and darker, and crackling raindrops poured down. For a moment, the mountain wind roared, sand and rocks flew, and the world suddenly turned into a ferocious color.
I looked around and soon discovered that not far away from the mountain road, there were two huge rocks piled together, forming a cave underneath, which was just right to avoid wind and rain.
"Walk!"
I yelled at Bai Ze and Lonnie, and ran towards the cave.
After making a fire break and throwing it in, I found that the cave was quite spacious and very dry, making it a rare shelter from the rain.
So the three of us got into the cave, took out the dry food we carried with us, and started eating and drinking. We planned to eat and drink enough and continue our journey after the rain stopped.
Just as I took out a chicken leg, I suddenly heard a rustling of footsteps coming from outside the cave. It seemed that someone was approaching here.
I winked at Lonnie and Bai Ze, telling them to be careful, then I raised the King of Martial Whip and pointed it at the entrance of the cave.
puff!
Suddenly, two figures came in from outside. After seeing us, they couldn't help but scream.
"ah!"
The two men huddled together, watching us tremble, with shock and fear on their faces.
Until then, I was able to look at these two uninvited guests who broke into the cave.
The leader was a man, about forty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and fashionable mountaineering clothing. He had a big belly and was looking at us in horror.
There was a man behind, about in his early twenties, with a young face and relatively simple clothes. He was looking at us with curiosity on his face, and there was deep fear in his eyes.
"who are you?"
Finally, the middle-aged man couldn't hold himself back and asked us in a trembling voice.
"We came here for a trip, and it happened to be raining heavily, so we came here to take shelter. What do you do?"
I made up a reason casually and then asked.
Maybe he saw that there were women in our team, so the middle-aged man gradually relaxed and said with a smile: "My friend, we are so destined, we are also traveling friends!"
I signaled to Lonnie and Bai Ze, and they quietly put away their weapons without attracting the attention of the two men.
"Do you mind if we take shelter here too?"
The middle-aged man adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, glanced at Lonnie, and then said with a smile.
"No problem. When we go out, we just need to help each other. Please do what you two do."
I waved my hand and said calmly.
The two of them thanked each other hurriedly, found a dry corner, and sat down.
There didn't seem to be anything unusual about these two people, they were just ordinary people, but this made me more and more curious.
This Qipo Mountain is filled with miasma, inaccessible, and full of poisonous snakes and beasts. Generally, few people would travel to this kind of place.
But why did these two people come here to play?
While thinking about it, I continued to pick up the chicken legs and gnawed on them.
Guru—
After a while, I heard a grunting sound. When I turned around, I saw two travel friends staring at the chicken legs in my hand, swallowing hard!
"You two haven't eaten yet? We have brought too much, let's eat together!"
As I said that, I took out the biscuit can from my backpack and waved to the two of them.
"Thank you, thank you!"
When the middle-aged man saw this, he was overjoyed. He simply thanked him, picked up the can and ate it hungrily.
The young man was a little shy and just picked up a pack of biscuits and chewed them slowly.
"Brothers, you are really good people, I will definitely repay you!"
The middle-aged man said to me while eating.
I smiled lightly and didn't take his words to heart.
The middle-aged man finished eating the can, but took the initiative to come over.
"Brother, I'm not kidding you. Let me ask first, what are you doing here?"
He glanced around me, Bai Ze, and Lonnie, and said with a smile: "Don't say that you are just here for tourism. This kind of place where birds don't poop will only come to this place unless you have a good brain." Come here and travel!”
When I heard it, it seemed that there was something in this guy's words, so I said, "Actually, we are engaged in research and want to study the geology here."
"What about you two? You should be here for more than just traveling, right?"
"Hehe, you were right."
The middle-aged man chuckled, and then said in a show-off manner: "We are here to find women!"
Looking for a woman?
I couldn't help but be stunned. I couldn't even see a person in such a barren mountain. Where did the woman come from?
Bai Ze and Lonnie also narrowed their eyes, showing puzzled expressions.
The middle-aged man was very satisfied with our reaction and couldn't help but smile.
"It seems you really don't know. To tell you the truth, there is a women's village halfway up the mountain. There are many beauties in the village, and they are all warm and hospitable. It is a gentle village that all men dream of!"
