Chapter 182 Empty Camp

"Damn it, you're so unreliable. Didn't you say you'd be there at 12 noon?" the fat man said angrily.

Pan Zi smiled awkwardly: "Maybe it was because the surrounding environment was too complicated and the reference was not very good, so I misjudged it..."

"I can't walk anymore. Let's find a place to rest first." The fat man waved his hand and said.

In fact, everyone had been unable to walk for a long time. They were just holding on to reach their destination. Now that they knew that they would have to get there after dark, they couldn't help but feel like deflated balls. They no longer had the strength to walk.

So everyone found a relatively high place to rest for a while.

This is a gentle slope dozens of centimeters above the water, and there are some sparse trees next to it. The trees are covered with various parasitic plants, including some white flowers that look like snake skin.

Everyone curiously went over to check, and found that the white things hanging on the tree were indeed snake sloughs. There were many of them, different sizes, and most of them were already rotten.

Despite this, it can still be seen from the outline of the snake skin that it is the skin shed by the cockscomb snake, and it looks very disgusting.

Snake skin is a very precious medicinal material. One kilogram can be sold for more than 100 yuan. There are so many snake skins here, at least several tons, and its value is astonishing.

"Isn't this the snake's lair? Why are there so many snake skins?" The fat man looked around and said uneasily.

Pan Zi pulled off a piece of snake skin and touched it, frowning and said: "This snake skin should have been shed not long ago, and it is still very tough. Snakes will only shed their skin in places they think are safe. It seems that there is really a possibility of a snake here."

Most of the snakes are nocturnal animals, so this forest must be very lively at night, so we need to get out of here quickly."

When they thought of the extremely poisonous cockscomb snake, everyone felt their scalps numb. No matter how tired they were at the moment, they had to brace themselves up and leave here. They didn't want to become the snake's food.

Then everyone dragged their tired bodies and walked in the swamp again. Although the speed was very slow, they still walked perseveringly.

This walk lasted for three hours, and no suitable place to rest was found along the way. At this time, everyone's physical strength and energy had reached their limit, and they could no longer walk as soon as they stopped.

But at this time, the surrounding terrain suddenly became low-lying, and the surrounding water flow became more rapid. There was the sound of rushing water all around, and there was a waterfall not far away.

Everyone came to the waterfall one step at a time, and found that this waterfall was formed by a fault in the ground. There was a big pit at the bottom of the waterfall, and all the water flowed into the pit.

Further ahead, the plants become denser again.

"Everyone take a rest for a while." Pan Zi took out food and water and said to everyone.

Then everyone sat down by the waterfall, and each took out water and food to eat. At this time, their clothes were soaked with sweat, and they were breathing heavily as soon as they sat down.

The fat man complained while eating: "If I had known that this hellish place was so far away, I wouldn't have come even if I were killed. Wouldn't it be nice for me to stay in the capital, eat, drink and have fun? Why do I have to suffer in this hellish place?"

"Okay, stop complaining. You didn't bring this on yourself? It can't be my third uncle who forced you here, right? With the character of a fat guy like you, can you fucking stay here?" Tianzhen said.

.

While everyone was resting, the younger brother got up and checked his surroundings. His physical fitness was much better than everyone else. At this time, he was the only one who had the energy to do other things.

After the little brother's observation, he found that this should be the lowest place in the entire swamp. It seemed to be a valley.

When passing through a piece of mud, I found a few vague words written on the mud: [I will wait for you at the temple]

These words were obviously written casually, but the handwriting was more graceful. At first glance, it was left by Wen Jin. The little brother quietly erased the writing on the mud, and then returned to the waterfall as if nothing had happened, and found him

I told everyone about the situation.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it would be dark in a while. Once it gets dark, it would probably be foggy again, and it would be troublesome to leave by then.

So everyone quickly packed up their things and continued walking forward.

After walking forward for more than an hour, when it was getting dark, they finally saw the wisp of yellow signal smoke.

At this time, the signal smoke is already very thin, and it is estimated that it will dissipate soon, and the location of the signal smoke is a huge black temple!

Everyone immediately stayed on the spot, looking at the black temple in front of them with disbelief.

"Holy crap, this...is this the legendary temple? It's so big. If someone from the archaeological community discovers it, wouldn't it become the ninth wonder of the world!" Fatty exclaimed.

"Finally we found the third master, let's go there quickly!" Pan Zi said excitedly, and then walked quickly towards the temple.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed.

A few minutes later, everyone arrived at the square in front of the temple. They saw more than a dozen tents stationed there, but there was silence all around. After looking around, there was no one around.

Pan Zi frowned and said, "These equipment and tents belong to Third Master, where have they gone?"

"Did you go out temporarily for something?" Tianzhen pointed to the equipment in the tent. "Everything is complete, and I didn't take much with me."

After an inspection, Aning said to everyone: "No, they have already left. The diving suits, food, and lighting equipment have all been taken away, which shows that they are traveling lightly."

"Ah... they left so soon, what did they do?" Tianzhen said looking around in confusion.

Aning shook her head and said she didn't know.

"Could something have happened, right? They're all dead..." the fat man said.

"Impossible! How could the third master die so easily? Besides, he also has two masters, Yunfeng and Black Glasses, by his side. No matter how dangerous the situation is, the whole army will not be wiped out." Pan Zi and his team

Said with certainty.

Rather than believing them, it's more that he can't accept it.

"There are no signs of fighting here, and things are arranged very neatly. This shows that they were very calm when they left. It is indeed impossible that anything happened." An Ning said.

"Don't worry about them for now, let's take a nap and replenish our strength, otherwise we will die from exhaustion!" said the fat man.

Zhang Yunfeng and the others packed lightly when they left. A lot of equipment and materials were left here in the camp. Now it was convenient for them. They found some cans, compressed biscuits and the like, cooked a big pot, and ate some in a hurry.

Then they all lay down in their tents to rest.
