Chapter 503: Stops along the way!
The Kunlun Mountains are the most majestic of all mountains in the center of the Eurasian continent.
This mountain range stretches between Xinjiang and Tibet, stretching over 2,500 kilometers.
There are plateaus and basins here. The highest mountain is over 7,000 meters high, and the foot of the mountain is mostly uninhabited area.
In the Kunlun Mountains, there is a place called "Death Valley", also known as Lenggele Canyon, and known as the "Gate of Hell"!
It is famous in the world and is one of the world's five famous death valleys.
The entire valley is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Lengela River. It is surrounded by purple-red rocks and sandstones. There are towering snow-capped mountains and crystal clear lakes and rivers.
It has been measured that in this area near the top of the mountain, there is a strong magnetic field of 1000-3000 gauss.
Therefore, most of the nearby thunderclouds are absorbed into the canyon, and under the influence of strong magnetic fields, the clouds often cause violent lightning activity in the local area.
Due to repeated thunderstorms nearby, there are no tall trees in this area, but the grass here is very abundant, attracting nearby herbivores.
Once the discharge occurs, herbivores and humans who come here will naturally become targets of lightning.
This is also the main reason why there are so few people around Death Valley.
This situation has led to the place becoming increasingly mysterious, and naturally it has become a veritable gate to hell.
As a result, many people who came here to explore the mystery were naturally turned away.
This is known to everyone and is not a secret.
But not far from Death Valley, there is a steep mountain made of purple-red rock, which is called the Peak of Heaven.
Due to the unique weather conditions nearby, the area is always shrouded in thick fog. Thundercloud discharges often occur here, indirectly forming a natural barrier that blocks people's view.
From the outside, it looks like a steep mountain with rugged rocks.
But who could have known that in the heart of this Heavenly Peak was the headquarters of the Dragon Group Base.
If you could stand on the top of Tianzhi Peak and look down, you would see an irregular basin shape. Of course, it still looks like thick fog.
The outer area of Tianzhi Peak is a thunderstorm-covered area, while the inner area is a thick fog.
And right below the thick fog is the entrance to Tianxuan Mountain, which is extremely mysterious to the world!
…
Time passes.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
In the eastern area of Kunlun Mountain, dense crowds of people appeared.
If you count carefully, there are at least forty people, almost all of them dressed in ancient costumes.
These people were Ye Mu and others who came from the direction of the imperial capital.
They got off the plane two hours ago. Since the road was mostly mountainous, hilly and canyon-filled, it was impassable to cars, so they chose to walk the long distance.
"It's still seventy miles to Tianzhi Peak. Let's go to Yueya Village ahead to rest first." As one of the three founders of the Dragon Group, Qingtian is very familiar with the terrain here.
"Everyone, when we arrive at Crescent Village, we will only have ten minutes to rest. Everyone must eat and drink enough and try to reach the destination before dark." Lan Yue smiled gently.
"Wait until we pass Crescent Moon Village and cross two more canyons." Xingchen smiled and then sighed, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. If it weren't for the fact that we need to greet the soldiers at the supply points along the way, they would definitely send a special plane to pick us up."
"I'd be very happy to walk."
Ye Mu looked far into the distance at the Kunlun Mountains in the west, his eyes burning with passion.
He was about to enter Tianxuan Mountain, which meant that he was about to leave the Chinese land where he was born and raised.
It is human nature to feel reluctant to let go.
As everyone quickened their pace, after more than ten minutes, the environment they were in became more and more obstructed, with rocks and mountains standing in the middle, and the only narrow path disappeared in the weeds.
"Come with me."
Qingtian then took a step towards an area covered with weeds.
As they followed, the view became wider and wider, and then they saw a village nestled in the mountains and beside the water.
From a distance, the village has only a few dozen households, with smoke rising from the roofs of every household, just like the scenes in ancient film and television dramas.
"This is Crescent Village, and it is also one of the bases of our Dragon Group." Lan Yue explained to everyone from behind.
This puzzled Ye Mu. "Senior Lan Yue, I was stationed in the Western Territory for five years, and I've never heard of this place before. The Dragon Group's methods are truly mysterious."
"China is a vast country with abundant resources. There are also places we have never been to, like Longquan Fort. Didn't we just find out about it?" Lan Yue said with a smile.
Ye Mu nodded, that was indeed the case.
"Don't think too much, let's go eat first." Xingchen walked forward and put his arm around Ye Mu's shoulders.
"If I didn't join the Dragon Group later, would you invite me?" Ye Mu grinned.
"You are a talented person. The Dragon Group will definitely extend an olive branch to you." Xingchen also grinned.
A group of people walked forward.
Leng Zhuo and his daughter Leng Bingyue followed closely, followed closely by all members of the Leng family.
The black tiger that Ye Mu subdued followed at the end, looking at every blade of grass and tree here curiously.
In front of the village.
Several men and women dressed as farmers had been waiting here with great respect.
When Ye Mu and his group approached, all the men and women turned their attention to the three founders of the Dragon Group.
"Except Captain Wang, everyone can go their separate ways." Qingtian waved his hand to stop everyone's politeness and waved gently.
Soon, these men and women left in an orderly manner, leaving only a middle-aged woman standing there. She was Captain Wang, who was in charge of this Crescent Village.
"Please move over, three elders and friends." Captain Wang bowed solemnly, and then led everyone to a courtyard next to it.
This small courtyard is very spacious and has dozens of rectangular dining tables already set up, which can easily accommodate more than 40 people including Ye Mu.
Out of courtesy, the Leng family members politely stood aside. Qingtian waved his hand and said with a smile, "Everyone, sit down and eat your fill."
The Leng family members then found a place to sit down and started to eat.
Captain Wang took the initiative to report, "Three elders, at nine o'clock this morning, the sentry members spotted two men and three women running towards the Hell Gate. Four of them were familiar faces: Zhang Bufan, the former Southern Territory God of War; Yu Bingqian, the Northern Territory God of War; Shi Yan, the Air Combat God of War; and Kun Peng, the Naval Combat God of War. The other person, upon investigation, was identified as Ji Linglong, who had emerged from the Hell Gate three months ago."
"It has been seven hours since then. I guess they have entered the gate of hell." Qingtian said as he looked at Ye Mu.
"We're almost there too."
Ye Mu felt particularly heavy in his heart after hearing the news about Ji Linglong.
"Besides this, is there any other news?" Qingtian looked at Captain Wang again.
"The news from ten minutes ago confirmed that the five of them have entered the Gate of Hell. As to whether they have entered safely now, it is still unknown." Captain Wang reported truthfully.
"Hurry up and eat."
Ye Mu didn't want to waste even a moment of time, so he concentrated on eating while thinking deeply.
If Ji Linglong and her group of five hadn't entered Tianxuan Mountain by the time they reached the Gate of Hell two hours later, then...
So how should he deal with Ji Linglong?
