Luolongjiang.
Under the moonlight, the Nujiang River roared and surged past, with rolling hills on both banks.
Just standing by the Luolong River, one can't help but marvel at the wonders of nature.
If it weren't for the faint view of the opposite bank, one would doubt that what lies before them is not a river but a vast ocean.
About 300 meters away from Luolongjiang, a bonfire was burning in a cave, casting an orange-red glow that stained the cave walls orange-red.
Beside the campfire sat five men of varying heights, each exuding a faint aura of menace, clearly not to be underestimated.
One of them was very thin, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face. His hair was soft, sparse, and somewhat yellowish, making him look like a hairless monkey.
"Phew! It's so cold and damp by the Luolong River, I'm freezing to death." This monkey-like guy squatted in front of the campfire, rubbing his hands together incessantly.
"Xunqi, you're really something. You can eat as much as you want and never gain weight. You can't convert food into fat to store, so you can only convert it into poop. It's a miracle that someone like you can survive in the apocalypse." Another bearded man couldn't help but laugh.
He opened his denim jacket, revealing his well-defined pectoral muscles and six-pack abs.
Upon hearing this, Xunqi rolled his eyes.
"What can I do? I want to gain weight too, but I can't gain weight even if I eat eight meals a day. Is that my fault?"
The bearded man shook his head, opened his wine jug, and began to gulp down the wine.
"Kun Liu, drink less. If you drink too much, you won't wake up tomorrow morning and will ruin Young Master Feng's plans. Be careful, or you'll lose your head!"
Another burly man, who was chewing on a blade of grass, shouted angrily. Then he snatched Kun Liu's wine jug and started drinking as well.
"Damn it, Genwu, you bastard, you're clearly trying to steal my drink!" Qianqian Xiaoshang
Kun Liu and Gen Wu got into a fight over a pot of wine.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Once things are settled by tomorrow, won't Young Master Feng reward you with some wine?"
A powerful voice rang out, carrying an air of authority.
The one who spoke was a man sitting directly in front of the campfire. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a square face that gave him an extremely reliable appearance.
The moment this man spoke, the previously arguing Genwu and Kunliu fell silent.
“That’s right, that’s right, what Brother Zhen San said makes so much sense~ Look at how childish you all are, Brother Zhen San is much more reliable~” At the same time, a soft and sharp voice chimed in.
The last one, though also a man, was dressed in a black, tight-fitting leather jacket and pants, with bright lipstick, earrings, and glittery eyeshadow, making him look somewhat out of place.
Upon hearing this person speak, Zhen San's previously calm expression instantly changed.
"Kan Si, you better get the hell away from me, or I'll kill you right now!"
"Tsk, why are you being so fierce? You stinky man! You have no sense of romance at all!" Kan Si rolled his eyes at Zhen San and reluctantly crawled out of Zhen San's arms.
Zhen San couldn't help but shudder. He had personally witnessed Kan Si bring a 200-pound strong man back to his room for the night. The next morning, the strong man had only 50 pounds left, and his eyes were sunken and his expression was blank.
Having learned from this experience, Zhen San has no choice but to be cautious.
"Ahem, alright, stop fooling around. Don't forget why we came out here!"
Zhen San coughed twice, then quickly composed himself.
"Tomorrow is high tide on the Luolong River, the time when the river's current is at its most turbulent. That's also when the dragon blood leeches are most active, so we..."
Zhen San's words came to an abrupt halt, followed by a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
Kan Si and his companions narrowed their eyes, a cold glint in them, and looked toward the entrance of the cave.
Because they all discovered that an uninvited guest had arrived at the entrance of the cave!
"Phew! Little Nianzi, we're almost there. We can already hear the roar of the Luolong River and smell the faint fishy smell of water."
Feng Zhizhao looked into the distance, where a winding river stretched out, resembling a giant black dragon lying on the earth.
The hazy moonlight spilled onto the river, reflecting the faint mist that enveloped it, creating an atmosphere of unparalleled mystery.
"Huh? There's a cave ahead where we can rest, but there's a fire inside, so it looks like there are other people there. Should we go check it out?"
“Go ahead. If there are other people around, we’ll just have to be careful. If we keep looking for other caves, it’ll probably be dawn by then,” Qiao Suinian said.
The area around Luolongjiang is extremely humid. If you don't spend the night in a cave but just lie down anywhere, you'll probably wake up the next day completely soaked.
He piloted the two Frost Raiders and ventured into the cave ahead.
"Who goes there?!"
A deep shout came from inside the cave, and then a woman holding a red-tasseled spear stared warily at Qiao Suinian and Feng Zhizhao.
The woman wasn't very tall, only about 1.6 meters. She was short and stocky, with an average appearance, dark skin, and rough flesh. Her face, which looked like an Indian roti, was covered with purplish-red pimples, some of which had even developed whiteheads.
The woman's appearance startled both Qiao Suinian and Feng Zhizhao.
They really hadn't seen such an ugly person in a long time.
For some reason, Qiao Suinian felt that the woman in front of him looked vaguely familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
"Don't get agitated. My friend and I just wanted to find a place to rest. We meant no harm," Qiao Suinian explained.
