Chapter 124 Big Fish in the Water
A moment later, Cheng Feng walked out of the tent with a helpless expression.
She was wearing two golden monkeys and holding another one in her arms.
“Young master, you have acquaintances in the Qinling Mountains, no, I mean, familiar monkeys.”
Hei Xiazi laughed and joked with Cheng Feng.
As Cheng Feng lifted the golden monkey, he gave it the middle finger.
The golden monkeys spotted Cheng Feng and his group early in the morning, and then came down to greet Cheng Feng warmly.
A group of monkeys gathered around Cheng Feng's tent. The brother on lookout, seeing that the monkeys showed no signs of attacking,
So they didn't chase them away, and these golden monkeys were much more pleasing to the eye than the locals from Mount Emei.
Their little faces are light blue, their fur shimmers with gold, and they are chubby and extremely cute.
"Stop watching the show and help me get these two off my back. These golden monkeys are too enthusiastic."
Black Bear was also somewhat surprised; there were so many people in the camp, yet the golden monkeys were all clustered around Cheng Feng.
He carefully avoided the few small monkeys at his feet, came behind Cheng Feng, and picked up the two golden monkeys.
"I must say, this little thing is quite cute."
The black bear tried to tease the little golden monkey with its paws, but it was clear that it wasn't well received.
The little monkey ran all the way to Cheng Feng's legs and hugged his thigh.
At this moment, everyone stood up. Old Jin lit his pipe and, while smoking, sighed inwardly.
Another remarkable creature; although golden monkeys are not as mischievous as other monkeys,
But it's rare to be this close to someone.
"Everyone, eat quickly and then hurry on your way."
Cheng Feng gave an order, then led the monkey troop to the backpack.
He took out some biscuits from his backpack and gave them to the golden monkeys.
These biscuits are made from pure grains and contain no food additives, which is why Cheng Feng dared to feed them to the monkeys.
After breakfast, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect packed up the campsite.
Cheng Feng bid farewell to the reluctant monkeys and walked into the jungle ahead, watched by the monkey troop.
After walking for about two hours, the footprints finally came to an end.
"They walked back and forth here many times, looking around; they should find some clues."
Sure enough, Hei Xiazi made a discovery very soon.
When the group arrived at Black Bear's side, they saw a human-shaped stone statue half-hidden in the snow.
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect stepped forward and swept the snow off the stone statue.
The complete statue was revealed to everyone.
"The patterns on this stone statue are of a double-snake head and a human body. It seems we have found our target."
Black Bear squatted in front of the stone statue, running his fingers along the lines on the statue's surface.
After saying that, Black Bear moved the weeds that had been deliberately placed next to the stone statue.
Then a tunnel, barely large enough for a person to crawl through, was exposed.
"Judging from the craftsmanship of digging this tunnel, this group should be from the Southern School; the tunnel is exquisite and compact."
The damage to the tomb can be minimized.
Hei Xiazi, with his extensive experience, immediately discerned the true nature of the person who dug the tunnel.
"Brothers, expand this tunnel a bit, this is too stingy."
One disadvantage of narrow tunnels is that they are difficult to enter and exit when there are many people.
If no one is left to guard it, it's easy to be trapped like a turtle in a jar, and it will be killed as soon as it shows its head.
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect obeyed orders, took out their entrenching tools, and began to rhythmically dig the tomb.
After forcefully breaking through the permafrost layer, the rest of the process became much faster.
About an hour later, the dusty and disheveled disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect crawled out from the depths of the tomb.
"Boss, the tunnel is dug."
Upon seeing this, Cheng Feng stood up, picked up his backpack, and said:
"Let's go, everyone get off."
Old Man Jin stared at the dark cave entrance with a conflicted expression, but then he thought about the money he already had and the money he still had.
Gritting his teeth, he followed the others and climbed into the tomb.
The tunnel wasn't very long; after about ten meters, the group arrived at a spacious underground space.
This is a natural cave, and the limestone on both sides has maintained its original appearance.
The road underfoot was uneven, with no trace of human intervention.
"It's much warmer here than outside."
Hei Xiazi looked around; the dim environment was perfect for him.
Even with sunglasses on, his vision remained unaffected.
"Everyone, stay alert! We don't know how many groups of people have arrived. Be prepared to deal with any danger at any time."
As Cheng Feng finished speaking, apart from Hei Xiazi and Old Man Jin,
Everyone took out their pistols and placed them where they could be pulled out immediately.
After making preparations, the group officially began their exploration of the place.
Hei Xiazi and Cheng Feng walked at the front of the group, with Old Man Jin following behind them, and the five Xieling brothers following behind.
After walking several dozen meters along the cave, the sound of flowing water could be heard ahead.
Upon approaching, the group saw that there was no path ahead, only an underground river extending into the depths of the cave.
"Damn it, I'm really in for it now!"
The black bear's smile was almost impossible to maintain, as the river water was nearly freezing at this time of year.
If we want to continue, we will have to go down into this icy river.
"Stop complaining, everyone get ready to go into the water!"
As he spoke, Cheng Feng took off his coat and put it into his backpack; their clothes were very thick and heavy.
If you don't take them off, they'll look like you're carrying a rock when they're soaked in water.
After everyone put their clothes into their waterproof backpacks, seven muscular men and a trembling old man appeared on the shore.
It's tough on Old Man Jin too, having to risk his life against Cheng Feng and the others at his age just for money.
"Old man, I'll double your commission when we get back. You won't lose out if you come with us this time."
Faced with Cheng Feng's financial offensive, Old Man Jin suddenly felt less cold.
He even wanted to go down and show off his swimming skills.
Then, the group, holding their backpacks, entered the icy underground river one by one.
The waterproof backpacks provided buoyancy for everyone, making it much easier for them.
Soon the group moved away from the shore, and at this time, huge man-made stone statues began to appear on the walls on both sides.
The stone statues are all different in shape, but the patterns on their bodies are the same as those on the stone statues at the cave entrance, all of which have a human body and two snake heads.
There's something in the water!
Suddenly, a shout from a disciple of the Unloading Ridge sect broke the silence.
Black Bear suddenly pulled out a short knife he always carried from his backpack.
This short sword is black and gold in color and is also made of meteorite iron. It is said to be made of the same material as the black gold ancient sword passed down by the Zhang family.
"What a huge fish!"
No sooner had Hei Xiazi finished speaking than the water beside them suddenly exploded.
A giant fish head, as big as a small car, suddenly burst out of the water and bit at Old Man Jin in the crowd.
Old Man Jin was so frightened that he couldn't move his hands and feet properly and sank straight into the water.
Fortunately, a disciple from the Unloading Ridge sect pulled him away, preventing the big fish from attacking.
Bang
The water splashed and pushed Old Man Jin and the others far away.
At that moment, Cheng Feng and Black Glasses made a move simultaneously.
The two plunged into the water and, with a rapid leap, caught up with the big fish.
The big fish had dominated the water for many years, but it had never seen such a brave prey that actually came to it on its own.
It immediately turned around with a flick of its tail, opened its big mouth, and charged toward Cheng Feng, who was approaching it.
Just as the big fish approached, Cheng Feng suddenly raised his hand and pressed it against the big fish's forehead.
Then, using the momentum, he flipped over and mounted the big fish.
At this moment, Hei Xiazi's short sword had already pierced the side of the big fish, and red fish blood flowed from the wound.
It dyed a section of the water red.
