Jiang Rubao put the little thing back on the stalactite by the pond and shook his head, "It went outside and won't survive."

"This thing has lived in a dark cave all year round, and its visual system has deteriorated."

After everyone took a closer look, they discovered that, as expected, the little thing's eyes were also white and had no focus.

In the end, Jiang Rubao couldn't help but take out his camera and took many photos of it, both front and back.

This small episode halfway did not slow down everyone's progress.

If they cannot drill out of the cave before dark, the temperature inside will be even lower at night.

Fortunately, Xiaozhi’s navigation is really good.

They finally came out before nightfall.

It feels like walking directly from a cave and through a mountain.

In front of you is a lake.

The misty waves on the lake are so beautiful.

Xiaozhi climbed onto Jiang Rubao's shoulder and stood there.

"Xiaobao, let's camp here tonight and set off again at dawn tomorrow morning."

Seeing that everyone was tired, Jiang Rubao nodded, "Okay, rest here."

Song Shaoping looked across the lake. The fog was very heavy, and the other side was so shadowy that he couldn't see clearly at all.

"Xiaobao, let the drone fly over and take a look."

Jiang Rubao shook his head, "There is no sun at all in this valley. The drone's battery is almost running out and there is no way to continue. We have to wait for the sun to come out tomorrow morning and recharge it first."

Otherwise, he was afraid that the drone would fall into the lake halfway through the flight.

……

The night passed.

When Jiang Ruyi woke up the next morning, she found that the inflatable boat by the lake was ready.

Tao Tao saw her coming out of the tent and called her over to have breakfast.

In a place like this, having a hot bowl of instant noodles in the morning is already a luxury.

Had a meal.

Jiang Rubao looked at the foggy and unclear shore of the lake and said, "The drone still has insufficient power and cannot fly. Let's just go there."

At this point, everyone has no other choice but to do this.

But when the inflatable boat was about to reach the other side of the lake, Jiang Ruyi reached out her hand to feel the water temperature.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Xiaobao, have you ever felt that the temperature of the lake water has become higher?"

When she washed her face and brushed her teeth with lake water in the morning, she almost froze her teeth.

But the temperature of the lake water at this moment was obviously two or three degrees higher than before.

Jiang Rubao also reached out his hand and touched the water temperature, "It's a few degrees higher."

When the inflatable boat slowly docked, everyone saw clearly that there was a stream flowing into the lake, emitting steam.

There is also a faint smell of sulfur on the tip of my nose.

"Geothermal water?!"

Song Shaoping could tell what it was at a glance and said happily: "There must be a hot spring in front."

After his words fell, everyone's faces showed a bit of surprise.

It is hard to imagine that anyone would survive in such a cold and humid environment.

But it's different with geothermal heat, which will greatly improve the living environment.

Jiang Rubao grinned, "It means we are about to find a place."

The group of people walked forward along the creek.

Passed through a dense forest again.

My eyes suddenly opened up.

There is another huge cliff, and there is also a cave under the cliff.

But unlike the small cave yesterday, facing them was a huge white lava cave.

Warm wind blows out of the cave.

The area is about the size of three or four football fields.

The highest point is about thirty meters.

At this time, it was noon, and all the fog in front of the lava cave had dispersed.

There is even sunlight shining through a small gap in the cliff in mid-air, and it just shines into the cave and shines on a huge white stone statue in the deepest part.

It was a pregnant woman with a big belly, with complicated braids and accessories on her head.

The golden sunlight shines on the stone statue, giving it a holy, gentle and compassionate light that makes people easily think of their mother.

Jiang Rubao's pupils shrank, "Is it her? Yes, it's her...it's her..."

The totem A Luo sent him also had this female image, with the same braids and accessories on her head.

"That must be the God Mu worshiped by the Teng people."

Jiang Rubao was very excited and ran directly towards the cave.

But Song Shaoping grabbed him.

"Don't get excited, let us go in and take a look first."

This place is full of weirdness.

There is thick fog all around, but not even a trace of fog can be seen in this cave, which is white and clear.

The white stone statue is so bright that it almost reflects light in the sunlight.

The group of people stood just at the boundary between light and dark in the fog. Taking a step further, it seemed as if they had entered a different world.

Coupled with the strange and weird witchcraft of the Teng tribe, Song Shaoping and his party had to be extremely energetic.

But they searched around the cave and found no one.

But we did find many traces of human activities.

Just when everyone felt very strange, a six or seven-year-old girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

When he saw a group of them, he was startled, and then suddenly screamed loudly.

He shouted words that no one could understand.

The little girl is very beautiful, with two thick black braids on her head, and her eyes are big and bright.

Although he was wearing cheesecloth clothes, he packed them very cleanly.

As the only women present, Jiang Ruyi and Tao Tao tried to step forward to comfort her.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Rubao suddenly spoke and spoke the same language as the little girl.

The little girl's eyelashes are long, like two small fans.

After hearing Jiang Rubao's words, he was so shocked that he forgot to react.

Her eyes blinked, and her long black eyelashes flapped up and down.

She looks very innocent and cute.

When everyone saw this, they all stood still in tacit agreement.

Jiang Rubao kept the smile on his face and slowly approached the little girl.

Before he could reach her, two more women appeared out of nowhere.

They all look very young and beautiful, probably in their twenties.

The two of them look a bit similar, maybe they are sisters.

When the two of them saw the group of people suddenly appearing in the lava cave, they were also frightened. They immediately ran over and protected the little girl behind them.

And kept going back.

The younger woman, with a serious expression, actually questioned them directly in Mandarin.

"Who are you? How did you get here? What do you want to do?"

The group of people here were surprised at first, and then happy.

Jiang Ruyi looked around and found that she might be the most harmless-looking person in the group.

So he walked directly to Jiang Rubao and stood next to him, smiling very sincerely and kindly.

"You can speak Mandarin?"

The woman's eyes were alert, and she took two steps back to protect the little girl without speaking.

Jiang Ruyi didn't mind either and smiled more innocently.

"Little sister, don't be afraid, we don't have any ill intentions."

"We came here just because something happened to our family and we want to find some clues. It would be best if you could help us solve the mystery directly."

Jiang Ru noticed that the braids of the three of them were very similar to the braids of the stone statues in the cave.

Moreover, the facial features of the three of them are somewhat similar to those of the stone statues.

It was expected that they must be the descendants of the Teng clan that they were looking for on this trip.
