Myriad Realms Free Mercenaries

Chapter 860 Departure
In the afternoon of the same day, the group made the final preparations and inspections, had a good night's rest, and set off for Zhelong Mountain early the next morning.

There are 11 people who went to Xianwang's tomb this time, including Ouyang Fei, Mu Xia, Ou Jingyan, Ou Huamin, Wang Ping, the old man, Chen Fang, Zhu Xiaoyun, Partridge Whistle, Lao Yangren, and Hua Ling.

With Ouyang Fei and the others who know the way, they didn't go wrong. Ouyang Fei went to Ma Zhenbang's army station, controlled a few officers at will, and easily got a truck.

From Chuncheng to Dali, they went by truck. It took less than a day to reach Yingpan Town, which is the closest to the Lancang River. After the truck was dispatched, they went back to the Lancang River on foot.

In the evening, Ouyang Fei successfully arrived at the bank of the Lancang River. Ouyang Fei decided to camp here, rest for one night, and continue setting off at dawn tomorrow.

The ingredients prepared by Ouyang Fei and the others were very rich. Although most of them were dry vegetable food that was easy to preserve, the various seasonings they brought made the ordinary ingredients extremely delicious. As for the meat, they naturally used local ingredients.

There are plump fish in the Lancang River, and all kinds of game in the mountains on both sides. With the skills of these people, they go out and go around at will. Do you want to eat?
After a picnic, the old foreigner Hua Ling almost swallowed his tongue, and the partridge whistle was full of admiration. Traveling with this group of people was like going out to play.

……

The first night of departure was spent peacefully. In the morning of the next day, everyone packed up their tents and prepared to continue their departure.

"Hey, Miss Jingjing, how long does it take to get to Zhelong Mountain from here?" Hua Ling asked Ou Jingyan.

Ou Jingyan pointed to the Lancang River and said: "Going south along the river, you can get there in half a day by boat, but if you go from the mountains on both sides, it will be slower, and it may take a day or two."

Hua Ling smiled wryly and said: "Where is there a boat here? It seems we have to go."

Ou Jingyan giggled and said, "Who told you we don't have a boat?"

"Huh? Where is the boat?"

Hua Ling turned around and looked around. Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner also looked at Ou Jingyan in surprise, but saw Ou Jingyan cooing at Ouyang Fei and Mu Xia, saying, "Hey, isn't that right?"

Several people looked at Ouyang Fei and Mucha and saw that they were rolling up something of unknown material out of their backpacks one by one, unfolding it and placing it on the ground.

The three of Partridge Whistle approached curiously, and Hua Ling asked, "Brother Ou, what is this?"

Ouyang Fei grinned and said, "This is called an inflatable rubber boat. Have you ever seen the inner tube of a car tire? It's almost the same material. After it is fully inflated, it has great buoyancy, and there is no pressure for five or six people to sit on it."

The three of them were stunned, and Hua Ling smiled and said: "So you made a special trip to Baiyue to get this thing!"

Ouyang Fei said: "Yes! We bought these from the US Navy. They are all high-end military products. If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools!"

While talking to the Partridge Whistle and the others, Ouyang Fei connected the air pump to the air pump and kept pressing it, and the rubber boat quickly swelled up.

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle hurriedly took the old foreigner to the side, took the pump from Mucha's hand, and offered to help. The three rubber boats were quickly inflated, and they were carried to the riverside and fixed. moved up.

Eleven people, three rubber boats just right, one for the old man and Chen Fang, one for Zhu Xiaoyun, Mu Xia, one for Ouyang Fei, Ou Jingyan, Ou Huamin, Wang Ping, and three for Partridge Whistle. Dig Zijia's bamboo basket, there is not much difference between three people and four people.

In addition to the rubber paddles on the rubber boat, Ouyang Fei went to the mountain to chop some pennies for backup just to be on the safe side.

After getting ready, the group rowed the rubber boat down the river at a very slow and effortless speed.

After more than four hours, after passing through several tributaries, the group of people successfully arrived at the entrance of Zhelong Mountain. Ouyang Fei reminded: "Attention everyone, we are about to enter the underground river, turn on the searchlights, and try to let the boat float on its own without speed. It’s too fast, just control the direction.”

"In addition, there are saber-toothed vipers in the underground channel at the foot of Zhelong Mountain. Don't put your hands into the water. In case of being bitten, the saber-toothed vipers will jump out of the water and pounce on people when they smell blood."

After hearing Ouyang Fei's reminder, the Partridge Whistlemen in the middle did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly took out the two battery searchlights that Ouyang Fei had given them before setting off, and placed them on the bow of the ship, one on the left and the other on the right.

The lights of the two rubber boats at the back were slightly off to the sides, and the beams of light mainly shot to the sides, and the rubber boats in front could be seen clearly with only a little peripheral vision, while the lights of Ouyang Fei and others at the front were shining on the front. ahead.

These searchlights are all from later generations. Although they are very advanced, searchlights are not new in this era, so Partridge Whistle and the others did not show any surprise. In fact, the battery lights from later generations have a longer battery life than those of this era. Besides, there is not much difference.

Although the seven searchlights couldn't illuminate the entire underground passage like Ouyang Fei's lighting fireball, they were still enough to see the situation around the underground river, which was much better than Hu Bayi and the others.

The three Partridge Whistlemen looked around at the environment in the cave. It was different from the hot and humid weather outside the mountain. As they walked along the current in the cave, the deeper they went, the cooler the wind hit them.

From time to time, groups of phosphorous fires flickering in the distance can be seen, which means that there are animal corpses, and it seems that this is not a lifeless world.

Drifting forward for a while, the speed of the water changed and suddenly accelerated a lot. Ouyang Fei's reminder sounded at the right time, "Attention everyone, this section of the river is more tortuous and has many sharp turns. Control the speed of the boat and use pennies to assist it. Turn.”

Ouyang Fei is a very good team leader, after all, he is the old squad leader who has been a scout for eight years, as long as his voice is heard, it can always give people a sense of peace of mind.

Partridge Whistle and the old foreigner held the penny, and cautiously propped it up on the cave wall from time to time to assist the rubber boat to turn. The environment in the cave was undoubtedly revealed under the illumination of the searchlight.

The scenery in the depths of the cave is unimaginable. In addition, the light beam of the strong searchlight swept across, and those strange stalactites only flashed, and then disappeared into the darkness. This made the Partridge Whistle feel like they entered A grotesque dream maze was opened.

At this time, the river suddenly widened, and several thinner tributaries merged into it, and the speed of the water flow slowed down, and the people of Partridge Whistle secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the light, the walls on both sides of the cave in front are lined with rows of naturally formed smooth lava terraces. The layers are like the waves of the sea, really like a solidified silver ocean.

"Look, brother, does that hole look like the mouth of a wild beast?" Hua Ling suddenly pointed at the hole in front of him and called.

What she saw was the animal mouth that entered the passageway of the figurines, and the partridge whistle nodded, and said, "Don't be afraid, Brother Ou and the others have already passed through it once, there will be no problem."
