Chapter 2361: Exploring the Valley
Su Rou and Zhu Linlin are two women with very skillful hands. They quickly made a simple mask using the clothes they brought with them.
Zhu Linlin helped Professor Liu make one, and Su Rou helped Zhao Xu make one.
For safety reasons, a total of three masks were prepared for each person.
Zhao Xu put on the mask Su Rou made for himself and felt that the mask had a feminine scent.
If you look closely, Su Rou is making a mask out of underwear.
However, the mask is very soft when worn and made of pure cotton material, making it very comfortable to wear.
At eleven o'clock at noon, the dense miasma in the "Valley of Hundred Corpses" began to become thinner. The scene of jagged rocks in the valley could be vaguely seen.
After the four people soaked their masks, under the leadership of Zhao Xu, they began to walk into the "Valley of Hundred Corpses".
Everywhere you go, you can see the rotting carcasses of many animals in the valley.
The corpse gave off a stench that could be smelled even by the four people wearing masks.
This place deserves to be called the "Valley of Hundred Corpses". In addition to some large animals, there are also some dead birds.
The little monkey seemed to be afraid of this place, squatting on Zhao Xu's shoulder, looking east and west from time to time. A pair of small round eyes looked back and forth in the valley.
Walking a thousand meters away, the mountain walls on both sides were as smooth as a knife.
If some animals fall from above, there is no way they can survive.
Although the miasma in the valley has become thinner under the sunlight, there is still a dense atmosphere in the valley.
Once inside the valley, there were only a lot of animal bones, and there were also a few human bones among them.
Professor Liu stepped forward to investigate out of curiosity and said that the owners of these bones died at least three years ago.
After walking forward for a while, there were suddenly fewer animal bones in front of us.
This abnormal phenomenon attracted Zhao Xu's attention.
He was walking in front, and as he walked, his feet suddenly gave way and his body quickly sank into the ground.
It turns out that this section of the road is a swamp.
Zhao Xu shouted urgently to Professor Liu and the other three: "You guys, please retreat, this is a swamp!"
Su Rou and Zhu Linlin hurriedly stepped back.
Professor Liu stretched out the hiking pole in his hand towards Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu's calf was gone. He grabbed the trekking pole and used the power of the trekking pole to pull his body out of the swamp.
The body made a change in the air and landed firmly on the ground.
Looking at the swamp again, Zhao Xu still had lingering fears.
He couldn't use any strength at all in the swamp. If it weren't for the strength of Professor Liu's trekking pole, it would be difficult to escape from the swamp.
Zhao Xu's legs and pants were covered with big mud, and he said to Professor Liu: "Thank you!"
Professor Liu frowned and said: "It seems that this section of the road is a swamp. We are not sure how long the swamp is. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cross."
Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "I have a way!"
He found some big rocks nearby and kicked them far away.
I saw the big rock flying at least twenty meters away.
After the stone hit the ground, it quickly sank.
Zhao Xu kicked out another stone, at least fifty meters away, but the stone still sank.
Each piece of this stone weighed at least dozens of kilograms. I didn’t expect that Zhao Xu could kick it like a ball. Professor Liu was stunned for a while.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed that human beings could kick such a big stone so far.
It wasn't until Zhao Xu kicked the stone nearly a hundred meters that the stone did not sink.
Zhao Xu roughly estimated the distance. This section of swampland was at least about 100 meters.
But there was no way anyone could stand on the swamp, not even him, let alone Professor Liu, Su Rou and Zhu Linlin.
If you can't cross this "swampland", you won't be able to reach the end of the "Valley of Hundred Corpses" directly to the legendary "Wangyue Stream".
What should we do?
Time is running out, and after one o'clock in the afternoon, the miasma in the "Valley of a Hundred Corpses" will become thicker.
Until now, they have not experienced dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. This shows that it is effective to wear the simple masks after taking the "Detox Pill" given by Huayi.
At this time, Zhao Xu's eyes lit up when he saw the "golden monkey" jumping up and down on some bent trees in the valley.
He imitated the "golden monkey" and jumped onto the bent tree. He pulled the branch hard and saw that the branch was not broken.
I jumped a few in succession and found that the flexibility of each branch was almost the same.
Then, he jumped back several times and said to Professor Liu and the others: "Professor Liu, let me take you up to see if the branch can bear the weight of two people."
"Okay!" Professor Liu nodded.
Zhao Xu asked Professor Liu to jump on his back, jumped up, and firmly grasped the branch.
After hanging down for a few times, I saw that the flexibility of the branch was quite good and could fully bear the weight of the two people. I jumped forward again, imitating the "golden monkey", and kept jumping forward with the help of the elasticity of the branch.
When he arrived at the place where the stone had not sunk, Zhao Xu jumped down from the tree. Sure enough, he passed the swamp.
Zhao Xu excitedly said to Professor Liu: "Professor Liu, you wait for me here, I will pick up Officer Su and Linlin."
"Okay! Be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xu had already jumped onto the branch, and with the swing of the branch, he quickly reached Su Rou and Zhu Linlin's side.
Professor Liu was secretly speechless!
Without Zhao Xu, they would never have gotten here.
Professor Liu is full of longing for this scientific expedition. If he really finds the "Wangyue River" and makes major scientific discoveries there, he will make a huge contribution to the scientific expedition of "Great Wu Mountain".
He loves this career mainly because he wants to trace the origin of mankind in the "Great Wu Mountain" area.
Zhao Xu hugged Su Rou's slender waist, and Su Rou felt like she was soaring in the clouds.
Especially the strong masculine hormonal aura on Zhao Xu's body made Su Rou a little obsessed.
After Zhao Xu picked up Su Rou, he followed the same pattern and took Zhu Linlin across the swamp.
He made a mark near this area so that he would not forget it when he came back and fall into the swamp again.
The little monkey jumped on Zhao Xu's shoulder and jumped around excitedly.
I don’t know why this monkey is so excited.
Zhao Xu said to Professor Liu and the other three: "It's getting late, let's move on! We want to see what is at the end of the Valley of Hundred Corpses?"
Several people quickened their pace, but as they walked, the sun had already set.
The miasma in the Valley of Hundred Corpses began to become thicker, and even the sight was no longer as clear as before.
Zhu Linlin first experienced symptoms of dizziness, said she felt a little nauseous and felt unwell.
Zhao Xu put a single palm on Zhu Linlin's vest, channeling some of her internal energy.
Zhu Linlin's condition has improved.
