Liu Geyang had walked almost all the mountain roads of Luolong Mountain in the past two years. Professor Wang discovered that the location of the colorful-armed golden beetle was near the Yingxiu area. Therefore, Liu Geyang and Niu Zaizhao led the way, and the nine Japanese followed behind, crossing the rugged mountain roads and heading towards Yingxiu.
Liu Geyang held a hatchet in his hand and chopped off the vines and branches that blocked his way to make it easier for the people behind him to pass. Niu Zaizhao turned around and secretly observed the group of people following him. He saw eighteen researchers, nine on each side, lined up in two rows, protecting Professor Yamada in the middle.
Yamada Chiizumi was leaning on a crutch in his left hand and carrying a small backpack. He walked easily without blushing or panting. He looked around as he walked and held an object like a pocket watch in his right hand, as if he was observing the terrain.
Each researcher was armed with a two-foot-long dagger, and no one knew where they got it from. They imitated Liu Geyang and chopped the vines. The cold light of the dagger made Niu Zaizhao's scalp tingle.
She quickly took a few steps to catch up with Liu Geyang and said in a low voice:
"Liu Geyang, look at those Japanese people behind us, each holding a samurai sword. Why do they not look like researchers?"
Liu Geyang glanced behind him and replied nonchalantly:
"What's so strange about this? They came all the way from Japan to China, they can't possibly bring an axe with them, right? Niu Er, you're just being overly suspicious!"
Niu Zaizhao still insisted on his own opinion: "But they can't carry the same knife. I suspect they are a group!"
Liu Geyang laughed, showing his big white teeth, like a ray of sunshine shining through the clouds, which made Niu Zaizhao distracted.
"What organization? The Yamaguchi-gumi? It's okay. This is Chinese territory. No organization can stop us! If they don't behave, we'll send troops to crush them. We've done it before, so we have experience!"
Niu Zaizhao had no choice but to follow Liu Geyang and continue walking forward. During the rest of the journey, Niu Zaizhao always felt that there was a vague gaze staring at her back, which gave her goose bumps all over her body.
Before noon, Liu Geyang finally brought the group to a steep hillside near Yingxiu, where Professor Wang discovered the colorful-armed scarab beetle.
This hillside is called Fengyu Slope, with abundant rainfall and dense vegetation. It is also the location of the Luolong Mountain rainstorm area. There are several natural waterfalls and cliffs, and the rushing river appears and disappears in the dense forests and cliffs. The terrain is relatively complex, but it is the classic terrain of Shushan and Shushui.
It is not yet the rainy season. Although the Fengyu Waterfall not far from the front of the hillside is not as spectacular as a waterfall plunging three thousand feet, it is still misty and water pearls are splashing everywhere.
"Professor Yamada, this is where Professor Wang discovered the colorful-armed scarab beetle. Let's split up and look for it! Don't go too far. Gather here at 2 o'clock sharp and go back early. I think it's going to rain today, so don't let us get stuck on the road..."
Yamada Chiquan quickly nodded and agreed, and ordered his researchers to spread out and look for the colorful-armed scarab beetle in the woods. Yamada himself stood at the highest point of the hillside, looking around, holding a yellowed booklet in his hand.
Niu Zaizhao took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag, unscrewed the lid and handed it to Liu Geyang. Liu Geyang was not polite and took a big gulp. Then he handed the bottle to Niu Zaizhao and motioned her to drink some too. He didn't think about how inappropriate it was to let a girl drink your "saliva".
Niu Zaizhao lowered his head, took a small sip from the water bottle, quickly put the cap back on, and stuffed it into his bag, looking a little embarrassed.
"Niu Er, what do you think that old man is looking at? Why do I feel like he's talking nonsense?"
Although Liu Geyang always criticized Niu Zaizhao, saying that she was too suspicious, he actually had his doubts. This group of people said they came to catch insects, but how could they catch them without a net bag or a container?
The strangest one is Yamada Chiizumi, who is standing on the top of the hill, holding a "pocket watch" in one hand and a book in the other, muttering to himself. Why does he look so much like a Feng Shui master?
