Chapter 17 Savage Valley
The team members were unwilling to accept it, and so was he.
Since they can't cross this stream, they can take a detour, although it will take them half again as long as before.
After a moment's thought, Yu Jiangbai spoke up, "This expedition is extremely dangerous. As you all saw, this Savage Valley is home to some unknown creatures. If they're in the water, they might be on land too. Furthermore, two of our team members are injured. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on what to do next: should we turn back the way we came, or take another route?"
“Brother Yu, we’re all people who walk on the edge of death, what’s a little danger like this? Giving up at the first sign of difficulty doesn’t fit the fighting spirit of our Eagles team.”
"Yes, Brother Yu, I agree with Brother Tao."
"I also agree to continue moving forward."
Everyone agreed, except for the injured Lao Hei and the female team member who remained silent. Both of them looked unwell, but they were struggling internally. They didn't want to spoil the fun, but they were also afraid that they would be unable to do what they wanted and would hold everyone back.
The female team member looked at her bandaged wound, which was oozing black blood, and felt fear. But she was afraid of worrying everyone, so she didn't dare to say, "I don't think I can go on. You guys go ahead, I'll go back the way I came."
Old Hei's face was also not normal, flushed. He felt that the snake venom in his body could no longer be suppressed. He was silent for a while before making a choice, "I will also return the way I came."
One of the team members was a doctor and also Lao Hei's friend. He was a little worried about the two wounded. "Their condition is not good. They need to go back for treatment as soon as possible. There is still a long way to go before they return. We don't know what we will encounter. I will take care of them and go back with them."
Seeing that everyone had made their decision, Yu Jiangbai nodded. "Alright, the three of you must be careful. If anything happens, fire a signal flare. The rest of you, follow me and continue on."
After the three people left, there are now six people in the team, including Yu Jiangbai.
They continued on, but avoided the creek.
The task they were owed was to traverse the Savage Valley. There was also someone specifically in charge of filming, whose real identity was a media mogul. If they could get out of the Savage Valley, the scene would be presented in the form of a documentary.
They took many detours to avoid the stream, but luckily they found a place where the stream had dried up. Because it had been sunny recently, both sides of the stream had dried up. Only continuous heavy rain could clear the water flow between the two ends, allowing them to reach the other side smoothly.
At first, no one thought anything was wrong, but as they walked, Zhong Ming was the first to notice something was amiss. "Why is it so quiet here?"
At first, no one understood what was happening, but soon everyone realized why the silence was so unusual.
The wilderness is usually a paradise for birds, insects, and beasts, but here, not a single bird's voice could be heard, not a single butterfly or insect could be seen, not even a spider web; the silence was unsettling.
Yu Jiangbai picked up his phone; the signal here was even worse, almost nonexistent.
However, he discovered several new messages, which he must have received while walking on the road before crossing the shore.
So he clicked on it, "Never cross the river! It's a place of mortal corpses! No one survives!"
He slowly raised his head, and gusts of incredibly cold black wind swept in from all directions, suddenly plunging the surroundings into darkness. However, something was moving, seemingly surging towards him.
The sound of branches snapping and cracking echoed from all directions.
To their horror, they discovered that countless pairs of blood-red eyes were focusing on them at a strange, hopping speed—

Bao Shuoyu had been asleep in the car for who knows how long when Chen Mi woke him up.
Because it's still an adjustment period with a new body, it's easy to get tired, and it takes time to adapt.
However, after a good night's sleep, I felt much more energetic.
He got out of the car with Chen Mi, looking around in confusion. This was—at the foot of the mountain?
Where is this?
"Our destination."
How long have we been driving here?
"About four hours."
"Does it have to be this far to find a haunted house?"
"A haunted house?" Chen Mi slapped his forehead. "While we were waiting for you, a few of us discussed it and decided to go somewhere more exciting. We're not going to that haunted house for now. After some discussion, we decided to venture into Savage Valley."
Savage Valley?
Bao Shuoyu frowned slightly as he looked at the deep, seemingly dark mountain in front of him.
However, the summit of this mountain was shrouded in malevolent energy that soared straight into the sky.
In particular, the rear half of this mountain is tightly enveloped by dense yin energy, forming an extremely ominous yin energy formation.
Such a grand formation could only be created by someone with extremely profound cultivation or a demon with a thousand years of cultivation.
Bao Shuyu narrowed his eyes slightly, his lips parted abruptly, and the corners of his mouth formed a handsome curve. "Interesting."
Chen Mi looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"
It means "something's interesting".
Chen Mi stopped paying attention to him.
At this moment, Lu Yifei and his group arrived. They brought their equipment, but Bao Shuyu hadn't prepared anything. Who knew where he was going to go to the Savage Valley?
Bao Shuoyu looked at them with some doubt. Did they really know that he was not an ordinary person? Did they not need any equipment? But his body needed water and food.
Chen Mi looked at herself and Lu Yifei and the others, all fully armed and carrying large backpacks, while Bao Shuoyu had nothing and seemed to be just out for a walk. Then she suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead, "Look at my memory."
He took a package out of the trunk. "Shuoyu, I've prepared yours too. There's an outdoor gear store right next to where we parked and waited for you, so we each got a set. We also went to the supermarket and bought some water and snacks. Oh, and Chu Jiaqi got one too, but we'll just leave it in the car."
Bao Shuoyu sneered inwardly: That girl should really thank me for leaving her halfway. If she had entered this Yin Sha Formation, she probably wouldn't even have been able to cry.
Now, he regrets it.
I should have brought that girl over to broaden her horizons and give her a day she'd never forget.
"Are you really planning to enter this Savage Valley?" Bao Shuoyu asked casually.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Lu Yifei hated Bao Shuoyu's pretentious manner the most, thinking he was too pretentious. If Chen Mi hadn't dragged him along, he wouldn't have gone.
Most importantly, the two had fought before.
"Uh, there are ghosts on this mountain, tons of ghosts, and even monsters. Aren't you scared?"
Bao Shuoyu still had that smug look on his face, looking at them with a nonchalant air, but his eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
