After entering the valley, the three of them discovered that the scene inside was much more complicated than what they saw above.

The valley is full of gray-black stone peaks, stone pillars, stalagmites, etc., the short ones are only half a person tall, and the tall ones are tens of meters high, like thousands of teams and thousands of horses, rushing through caves with dangerous eaves, and there are also some of different sizes from time to time.

A cave.

"This landform is a typical karst ecosystem."

Lan Qingling looked around and came to this conclusion.

Yu Baiying said: "This place looks eerie, and there may be something dangerous hidden there. We'd better be careful."

Su Yuan also said: "Instructor Yu is right, you must be careful in this place!"

Lan Qingling suddenly asked a question: "Do you think the accomplices of the Black Spider Ninja are hiding here?"

"Uh...this possibility exists!"

Su Yuan replied and said: "Let's search carefully. If we can find the marks left by the Black Spider Ninja, it means that his accomplices may be here."

"Okay! Then just do as big brother says!"

Lan Qingling immediately agreed, and Yu Baiying did not object, because one of their goals was to find the accomplices of the Black Spider Ninja.

The three of them camped step by step in the valley, searching step by step...

After walking deeper into the valley for about ten minutes, the three of them discovered a seemingly large natural cave.

The three of them looked in from the outside, but they didn't know how deep the cave was. However, with the help of the sunlight outside, they could vaguely see something in the cave.

"There seems to be something inside the hole, but I can't see clearly."

Lan Qingling muttered this.

"Um...that thing doesn't move. It looks like a humanoid. Could it be a dead person?"

Yu Baiying has very good eyesight. She observed it and then guessed this.

"I'll go in and take a look first, you guys wait outside!"

Su Yuan simply said this to the two women, and then stepped into the cave.

Su Yuan slowly came closer and saw that it was a withered skeleton!

The clothes on the withered skeleton were not completely rotten. Judging from the remaining clothing styles and fragments, they were not Japanese military uniforms, but more like explorers' mountaineering clothes.

"Brother, what's going on inside? Can we go in and have a look?"

At this time, Lan Qingling's voice came from outside the cave.

"You guys come in!"

Su Yuan hurriedly responded, since he was not a professional archaeologist, so he should let Lan Qingling take a look.

So Lan Qingling and Yu Baiying walked in together.

"Wow! Bai Ying, you are right, it is indeed a corpse."

After coming in, Lan Qingling saw the withered bones, exclaimed and came over, followed by Yu Baiying.

"Xiao Ling, can you tell who this withered skeleton is?"

Su Yuan asked Lan Qingling directly.

"I'll take a closer look before talking."

Lan Qingling responded while carefully observing the withered bones.

"Judging from the skeleton, it should be an Asian adult male, but his skeleton is missing two legs, and the entire skeleton also has obvious signs of being chewed. He must have been attacked by some animal during his lifetime and was bitten.

eaten!"

Lan Qingling came to this conclusion through analysis.

"So, this person may have been bitten to death by some kind of animal, and then dragged here and eaten!"

Su Yuan hurriedly asked Lan Qingling.

"Well, that's about it!"

Lan Qingling nodded, but there was a strange look on his face: "The strange thing is, judging from the remaining clothes, this man was not a Japanese soldier during World War II, and his death was not long, maybe

It’s less than a year!”

"Xiao Ling, if we analyze according to the clues you mentioned, then this person should not have been on this island for a long time!"

Yu Baiying next to her asked Lan Qingling hurriedly.

"That's the theory!"

Lan Qingling responded: "But it's best to find more clues before we can draw a conclusion!"

"There seems to be something behind!"

Yu Baiying suddenly noticed something strange behind the withered bones.

Su Yuan looked over quickly and found that it was a raised lump of mud, and there seemed to be something inside.

So Su Yuan kicked the mud ball with his feet.

The mud ball dispersed, and a leather bag covered with mud rolled out.

This leather bag should be made of yellow cowhide. Although it is in dilapidated condition, judging from its style and exquisite workmanship, it is obviously a top-quality leather product.

Lan Qingling squatted down, patted away the dirt on her bag, and tried to pull the zipper, but it got stuck and could not be opened.

"Let me do it!"

Yu Baiying took the bag, pulled it hard, tore the zipper off, and then opened the bag.

Wrapped in the leather bag was a stack of green U.S. dollars, a stack of Philippine currency, several credit cards, a sea-going certificate issued by the Philippines, a diary, and a family photo of a middle-aged Asian man with somewhat dark skin.

A photo with his wife and son.

"This unlucky guy's name is Ma Tong. He is a Filipino-Chinese. He is a wealthy businessman who made a fortune in the timber business and is also an explorer."

Lan Qingling flipped through the documents and diaries, and then continued: "The reason why Ma Tong made a sea voyage certificate was mainly because he wanted to explore the islands near the Philippines. He rented a boat, but suddenly encountered someone on the way.

Heavy fog and typhoon, then drifted all the way to the nearby sea area, and then landed on the island. While looking for a way out and things, I accidentally entered the valley... The diary only records this, and then ends..."

After hearing this, Yu Baiying thought for a while and said, "This Ma Tong must have been attacked by some animal in the valley, and then he was seriously injured and was dragged into this cave and eaten."

"Sister Bai Ying is right, this unlucky guy is quite miserable!"

Lan Qingling nodded, and then murmured: "What kind of animal was he eaten by?"

Yu Baiying inspected the dead bones, and then said: "I can't tell what animal attacked him, but he didn't seem to have suffered much during his lifetime, because the signs of struggle were not obvious."

Lan Qingling said: "Maybe he was bitten to death by the animal and then dragged here and eaten! That's why there are no obvious signs of struggle."

Su Yuan stared at Ma Tong's withered bones for a while, then suddenly said: "Maybe you all guessed it wrong!"

"Oh? Big brother, why did you say that?"

Lan Qingling was stunned and asked Su Yuandao curiously.

Su Yuan pointed to Ma Tong's withered bones and said: "He must have been paralyzed by the thing that attacked him before he was injured! That's why there are no obvious signs of struggle."

"Paralysis? Is there any evidence?"
