From seeing it

According to Guo Yongchang, many people spend their whole lives just getting started with "Ming Jin". Those who can really master "Ming Jin" are already rare masters. Those who can practice "Dark Jin" are a generation of masters. A person at the level of a master, but "Hua Jin" only exists in legends.

According to Zhou Kesheng's words, this Cao Mingyi has already mastered "Ming Jin", so he was able to become the leader of the expedition team back then, and even became the only survivor.

This made Xiao Ling look at him with admiration.

After hearing Zhou Kesheng's words, Cao Mingyi just smiled lightly and didn't speak. He just went out first with the two heavy backpacks.

Xiao Ling, Zhou Kesheng, Cao Mingyi, guide Ma Yong, and thirteen hunters including Liu Dajiang, Guo Peng, and Li Weijian, a total of seventeen people left the village and walked towards the Shennongjia forest area.

As for the two men in black suits and the driver, they did not follow, but left the village by car.

After walking for less than two kilometers, everyone entered the forest area. These hunters were like old horses who knew the way, talking and laughing all the way, looking very relaxed.

Xiao Ling carried the box with the mother-child knife on his back, but just followed Zhou Kesheng without saying a word.

Cao Mingyi was carrying the two heavy backpacks. Although he looked fatter, he was walking like the wind. It seemed that the skills he had practiced were different.

This forest area is well protected and has not been damaged by large-scale felling. Birds can be seen from time to time, and animals in the distance are startled. However, the excuse Zhou Kesheng gave these hunters this trip is to go deep into Shennongjia and find a forest. There is a relatively rare flaming fox, and the rewards are generous for completing the mission, so these hunters are not focused on hunting, they all want to find this flaming fox and get paid.

At first the road was relatively flat, but as it continued to deepen, the road surface began to get steeper.

After driving for half a day, everyone stopped to rest, and Liu Dajiang gnawed on the big cake he brought with him and said: "Boss Zhou, this fire fox is very rare, maybe you may not be able to meet it in ten days and a half months. Do you want to wander around in this forest all the time?"

Zhou Kesheng smiled slightly and said: "If you really can't find it for several days, then go back. Of course, I promise that your reward will not be less."

Hearing what he said, these hunters were obviously relieved, and the atmosphere relaxed again.

The first day was almost spent in the forest. One of the hunters found a hare. His hands were itchy. He shot and killed the hare. He picked up the hare by the way and said that he would roast the hare for dinner at night.

At night, everyone found a shelter from the wind to rest. Xiao Ling was anxious about Song Fengqin's illness, and wished he could find "Shennong Palace" immediately and retrieve the soil. In the boundless primeval forest, except for a few tall trees and a large number of bushes, there is no trace of a building at all, let alone the "Shennong Palace".

It's just that he knew there was no need to rush this matter, so he could only force himself to calm down and stay awake.

The next day, everyone continued on their way, until it was almost evening when there were differences of opinion in the team.

At this time, a raised hill appeared in front of the crowd. The guide Ma Yong in the team pointed to the left, ready to lead the crowd to the left along the hill, but Cao Mingyi put down the two backpacks he was carrying. He spoke for the first time and let the crowd climb over the hill.

Ma Yong hurriedly said: "Boss, you don't know. After turning over this hill, there is a swamp. It is very dangerous there, and there are living mud hidden everywhere. If you step into it, you will be swallowed by the living mud. You can't see it." People, dead but not corpses."

Cao Mingyi said indifferently: "I know, we got the exact clue, the fire fox we are looking for is in the depths of that swamp."

As soon as these words came out, Ma Yong and the hunters were stunned.

Zhou Kesheng immediately raised his voice and said, "Since the fire fox is deep in the swamp, let's climb over the hill immediately."

Xiao Ling understood that the Huo Liehu they were talking about was implying Xi Yang, and his mood immediately cheered up.

But these hunters showed embarrassment. They have been hunting in this area all year round. They are very familiar with the terrain and know that what Mayon said is right. Behind the hill is a dangerous swamp area. Step inside to avoid danger.

Zhou Kesheng knew what everyone was thinking, and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry too much. We all know that the swamp is dangerous. We just need to pay more attention to our feet. Besides, there are so many of us, even if someone is in danger, step into it." If it falls into the live mud, other people can quickly help pull it out, and it’s not just one person, so what danger can there be with so many people?”

While talking, Zhou Kesheng opened one of the backpacks, took out a bundle of climbing ropes from it, and said, "Look, everyone, with this rope, everything will be fine."

When Liu Dajiang saw the bundle of ropes, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Boss Zhou, it seems that you came prepared."

He noticed the two large backpacks that Cao Mingyi had been carrying. One of the backpacks contained food, water, some anti-mosquito and first-aid bandages and other medicines. But it has never been opened.

Seeing Zhou Kesheng open a slit at this moment, take out a bundle of ropes, and quickly close it again, just at that moment, he vaguely found a lot of dark things inside, but it was far away and he couldn't see it clearly, which made him Smelled something unusual.

Liu Dajiang walked up while talking, took the bundle of ropes from Zhou Kesheng, carried it on his back, then looked at the other hunters and said: "Since the boss has spoken, we can only go, everyone should be more vigilant. Pay more attention to your feet."

"Okay, I see."

All the hunters should get together, and then listened to Cao Mingyi's words. They climbed up the facing hill, and then went down the hill. There was a ravine in front of them. After entering the ravine, Xiao Ling saw a faint mist in front of him. Flying among the trees, listening to their conversation, the front has entered the swamp.

"Boss Zhou, it is said that more than ten years ago, there was an expedition team that went up and down to investigate and find the Shennongjia savages. There must be dozens of people, all of whom are armed and well-prepared. After entering this swamp, he seemed to disappear mysteriously, and no one showed up."

While smoking a dry cigarette, Liu Dajiang walked up to Zhou Kesheng's side to strike up a conversation.

Zhou Kesheng knew that he was reminding himself that the swamp was very dangerous, and hoped that he would dispel his deep thoughts.

Xiao Ling thought that what Liu Dajiang was talking about should be the expedition led by Cao Mingyi back then, but not all of them disappeared mysteriously, at least Cao Mingyi escaped alive.
