Chapter 406 Supply Replenishment
Cheng Feng memorized this route.
He wasn't sure if the black dragon vein would collapse after Lu was eliminated and the invisible black substance was no longer present.
If such a long stretch were to collapse all at once, it would likely cause a disaster that would be recorded in history.
However, this possibility is very small, and Cheng Feng will not give up on eliminating Lu just because there is a possibility of disaster.
However, they will use the influence of the Unloading Ridge faction to minimize the potential losses from any disasters.
It was nearly dark when Wu Sansheng and his men returned to the camp.
Black Bear found Cheng Feng by the fire, plopped down, and said:
"The temple was very simple, with only a club-shaped statue of a god, but there were some blurry murals."
The four women chatting nearby were also drawn to Hei Xiazi's words.
What are depicted on the murals?
Chen Wenjin got up and went to the fire. After sitting down next to Cheng Feng, he asked Hei Xiazi.
Then, based on the murals and some of his deductions, Hei Xiazi told a short story.
The story goes that long ago, a strange snake appeared in the area. This snake would crawl into a person's body, and then that person would blend into the villagers.
Until more and more people were parasitized by this strange snake,
As a result, only one in ten people in the surrounding area survived. When the emperor learned of this, he sent people to deal with the matter.
Eventually, these people caught a snake with horns on its head, trapped it inside the woman's corpse, and burned it. The controlled corpses then came to protect the snake king.
The soldiers then seized the opportunity to eliminate the strange snakes that were mixed in with the crowd.
However, unlike what Cheng Feng discovered, the mural records that they eventually burned the female corpse trapped with the strange snake.
The horned snake, however, was not burned to death; instead, it seized the opportunity to escape.
Then the soldiers built the temple and enshrined the club-shaped god, and the area was no longer bothered by the strange snake.
"The well-preserved murals only record these things, while more than half of the murals have been damaged by human activity, making it impossible to discern what they record."
The bear smacked its lips, finding the expression rather intriguing.
Those damaged murals must have contained very important information.
"I can roughly guess what the damaged murals depict."
Cheng Feng's words did not surprise anyone. On their way up, they had passed the bronze coffin, but it had been burned to a crisp.
There must be some discoveries they are unaware of.
Cheng Feng then recounted the complete story of how the Zhang family used a female corpse to trap the unicorn snake and then suppressed it under Kunlun Mountain with a bronze coffin.
"In other words, those Venus umbrellas that attacked us were actually clones of the Unicorn Serpent King."
They are actually one entity; no wonder it took you more than ten days to deal with that thing.
Chen Wenjin looked enlightened.
"Yes, no one else has a chance of destroying this Venus Umbrella except me. Once the main body dies, it will be reborn on the split body."
Therefore, the Zhang family could only control the snake's attacks on people by imprisoning it.
While Cheng Feng was having a fireside chat, Wu Sansheng and the others were also discussing their next steps.
They now face two paths: one is to stop here and go back to their own homes.
Secondly, they could return to the dark, sunless underground to continue exploring the unknown.
Wu Sansheng once again suggested that Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen leave this place, and then he and Xie Lianhuan would lead a team to take a trip.
At the same time, you can also take Qi Yu from your backpack back and imprison him.
But Wu Xie firmly refused, saying that there was no reason to give up halfway, and he was determined to find out what secrets were hidden here.
Xie Yuchen took a more extreme approach, even suggesting that Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan take Wu Xie back, and that he could simply leave the rest to him.
Looking at his two stubborn nephews, Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan were both helpless.
They couldn't reach a conclusion after discussing it, so the matter had to be put on hold for the time being, and everything would be discussed again after the supplies arrived.
The next morning, the sound of the helicopter roused everyone to leave their tents.
It turns out that reinforcements from the Unloading Ridge faction have arrived.
Three helicopters hovered above the camp, and soon several boxes were lowered from above by ropes.
After receiving the box, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect on the ground made an OK sign on it. Then the helicopter circled twice before leaving.
"This Uncle Cheng is really rich and powerful; he actually called three helicopters to transport supplies."
Wu Xie's scar on his buttocks has almost healed, and he is currently standing by the tent chatting with Xie Yuchen.
"As the leader of the new era of the Unloading Ridge faction, Uncle Cheng has at least eight or ten thousand disciples under his command. He is top-notch in both financial resources and manpower."
Let alone three helicopters, I wouldn't be surprised if he brought fighter jets if there was enough time.
Xie Yuchen is the one in charge, which is why he has a deep understanding of the existence of the Unloading Ridge.
All the businesses that the Xie family is involved in are inextricably linked to the Xieling faction. If they were to fall out with Cheng Feng one day, the Xie family might be back to square one overnight.
Contrary to what Wu Sansheng and others had imagined, the supplies delivered by Xieling were actually some fresh produce that was difficult to preserve.
For example, giant lobsters, dozens of kilograms of bluefin tuna belly, abalone, Wagyu beef, large yellow croaker...
There are also all kinds of fruits, such as apples, grapes, oranges, and avocados.
Of course, there are also sports drinks, baijiu and red wine, cigarettes and sunflower seeds.
Wu Sansheng and the others stared wide-eyed, partly shocked by the arrogance of Cheng Feng and his group.
On the one hand, it felt a bit strange that they went through all the trouble of having a helicopter transport supplies, only to end up with a bunch of New Year's goods. This was too extravagant.
What Wu Sansheng and the others didn't know was that during the thirty days they were blessed by heaven, Cheng Feng's team ate almost entirely this stuff.
I only eat a few bites of dry food when I feel tired of it.
"Blind man, you took a few packs of cigarettes for yourself, and you smuggled all my food supplies, almost leaving me without any food."
I'll make it up to you all at once this time. If you ever take my cigarettes again, I'll dock your pay.
Cheng Feng grumbled as he piled six packs of Zhonghua cigarettes onto Hei Xiazi, then glared at the dejected Zhang Qiling beside him.
These two heavy smokers severely depleted his reserves, especially Zhang Qiling, whose smoking habit was the strongest among the three.
However, it's understandable, since he's under the most pressure, and the entire Zhang family's mission rests on Zhang Qiling's shoulders.
After distributing the supplies, Cheng Feng carried the lobster back to his tent amidst the complicated gazes of Wu Sansheng and the others.
Before long, the irresistible aroma of seafood filled the air, making everyone's mouths water.
"Xiaohua, do you think we'll get kicked out if we try to get some food as kids?"
Wu Xie smiled wryly and joked with Xiao Hua.
Xie Yuchen's expression was somewhat amused and exasperated: "You might as well hope that Xiuxiu will think of us two older brothers and secretly give us some good food."
"Sigh~ I was feeling quite satisfied after eating the mutton, but now my cravings have been reignited. Uncle Cheng has really done me a disservice!"
