"Don't talk nonsense!"

Qiao Junshan scolded with a fierce face, "There are no ghosts!"

"What kind of monsters and demons haven't we defeated in the past few years?!"

"Even if there really are such things, they are the ones we should be afraid of!"

"It gets dark quickly in the mountains, especially at night. It's easy to get lost in the deep forests. It's normal not to be able to find the way!"

"Besides, with Qiao Bo here, what are you afraid of?!"

The crowd was quiet for a few seconds, and then they surrounded Qiao Bo with a buzz of chatter.

"Jobo, what now?"

"What now? Can we still find our way home?"

"I heard that if you encounter a ghost wall, you just need to pee in the ghost wall and everything will be fine..."

"Then go ahead and spread it!"

"You know I didn't lie! It's useless..."

"You're amazing!"

"I want to say, if I'm not enough, let's each do it..."

"Go! Go! Go…"

"By the way...when we first arrived, your wife said we would return empty-handed. Did she know something?"

"Did she tell you anything?"

When Qiao Junshan heard someone mention Song Ning, his face darkened and he remained silent.

"If we had known earlier, we would have brought her with us, and we wouldn't be so lost now..."

Erxi, who was speaking, became increasingly softer and softer under Qiao Junshan's "death stare", and finally closed his mouth tightly.

"I remember the way back!"

Qiao Bo had been carefully identifying the mark he had carved on the tree, and only spoke after he was sure that there was no problem.

As he walked along just now, Qiao Bo found that the trees here were of similar height, thickness, and species.

The trees on the mountain usually grow on their own, and it is rare to see such regular large trees.

Especially the big trees in Nengfu Forest, this is so unusual!

Qiao Bo carefully measured the distance between similar large trees with his feet and found that the distance between different tree species was almost the same.

What does this mean?

It is said that these trees are planted by humans!

And judging by the size of the trees, each one is at least several years old...

Qiao Bo was sure that this forest must have some connection with the ancient tomb!

Uncle Junshan is on the right track, the camp must be near this woods.

However, at night, visibility is obstructed, making it difficult to find the campsite.

For now, I can only go back to the village and wait until the sky clears.

"Really?! Great! What are you waiting for?! Come back quickly..."

"Yes, yes! Go back... hurry back..."

"Ahem...let's listen to what Qiao Bo has to say first!"

The village chief stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"The way back is to follow the marks I made."

"As for the location of the camp, I have some idea, but finding it... will take time!"

Qiao Bo's eyes swept over the village chief and Qiao Junshan, signaling them to make a decision.

If he were alone, he might choose to stay and continue looking for a camp.

But now the people who came with him have begun to think about backing out, and he cannot make the decision for them.

"Go back! Look for it again tomorrow!"

The village chief immediately made the decision, and Qiao Junshan nodded as well.

We should save people within our ability. Everyone present represents a family.

If something happens to someone, there is no way to explain it.

Since they brought them out, they are responsible for their safety.

"Qiao Bo, you lead the way, Feng Hai and I will follow behind..."

Qiao Junshan made arrangements immediately.

Feng Hai is another team leader. He is tall and strong, and makes people feel at ease when they see him.

"No! You have to stay beside me..."

Qiao Bo frowned slightly. The "little trouble maker" had said that Uncle Junshan had bad luck and he should be careful of accidents.

He was watching over us when we came here, so nothing happened. But what if something happens when we leave?!

"Stop talking nonsense! Go ahead and lead the way. It's getting late, and my family is waiting!"

Qiao Junshan didn't know what Qiao Bo was thinking, nor did he appreciate it. He dragged Feng Hai to the back.

Qiao Bo had no choice but to walk slowly and try to walk on flat ground.

Just like that, not long after we started walking, we heard a cry from behind, "Junshan is gone..."

Qiao Bo rushed over in two or three steps. "Uncle Feng, what happened?"

"I don't know... Junshan was walking on my right side. He was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, Junshan disappeared..."

Feng Hai was so anxious that sweat broke out all over his head and the hairs on his body stood up. It was really weird!

"Will the things in the tomb follow me? What should I do? I don't want to die!"

“Run…run…”

"Yes, yes, yes! Run..."

The incident of getting lost just now cast a shadow on everyone's heart.

Now Qiao Junshan’s disappearance seems to be the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

The team temporarily formed by Qiaojia Village collapsed in an instant.

Everyone was panicked and, led by a few people behind them, began to run in a panic.

"Don't run! Come back..."

The village chief shouted anxiously, but everyone ran faster than rabbits and no one listened to him.

"stop!"

Qiao Bo roared, "If you don't want to die, stop!"

The mountain here is steep, and they are currently halfway up the mountain. If they are not careful, they may fall off the mountain.

"Running up the mountain in the dark, you're killing yourself!"

Qiao Bo's voice was loud and his aura was so impressive that the people who were running subconsciously stopped.

Qiao Bo glanced around expressionlessly, "From now on, everyone, keep your mouths shut! No one is allowed to move until I tell you to leave!"

"Everyone, come here! Come back!"

"Listen to Qiao Bo! Whoever disobeys, wait until we get back and see how I deal with him!"

The village chief's voice was almost hoarse from anxiety, but when he saw that Qiao Bo had the situation under control, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on with Junshan?"

Qiao Bo stepped back and forth at the place where Qiao Junshan had just disappeared, and found that there was an obvious slippery mark on the soil.

He climbed down, looked carefully, and found a hidden cave entrance in the bushes.

Qiao Bo took the torch and used his feet to push away the weeds at the entrance of the cave, and finally saw the whole picture of the cave.

"Uncle Junshan is fine. There's a hole over here. He must have missed a step and fell into the hole."

"The cave entrance is very deep. Who brought the rope?"

"I…"

Erxi subconsciously raised his hand, and under everyone's heated gaze, he embarrassedly untied the rope around his waist and handed it over.

"Isn't this... I'm used to going up the mountain to collect firewood!"

"That's a good habit! I'll give you credit!"

The village chief patted Erxi's shoulder vigorously and said, "We should all learn from Erxi!"

Qiao Boliso took the rope and tied a knot around his waist, then asked the village chief for a flashlight.

He called a few strong young men and asked them to hold the other end of the rope.

"I'll go down and look for Uncle Junshan later. You guys hold the other end of the rope."

"As long as I don't say stop, keep letting go until the rope can't be let go anymore."

"Tug the rope as a signal. I'll pull it twice, and then you pull it up. Is that clear?"

"Bai Bai!"

As soon as everything was ready, Qiao Bo swiftly entered the cave and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Qiao Bo, be careful!"

The village chief and Feng Hai stood on one side, holding a torch, wishing they could stick their heads into the cave.

What a mess! If I had known this, I would have waited until tomorrow to come back...
