Tomb Raider: After Time Traveling, I Married the Essence Queen

"Miss Boss, why are you checking your household registration?" Hu Bayi said with a smile.

I thought this would allow the proprietress to change the subject.

Unexpectedly, the proprietress smiled and said: "Actually, it's not for checking the household registration. It's just that we haven't had any outsiders come all year round. It's always strange that we have a few."

"Actually, we study insects. We came here this time because we heard that there is a special kind of butterfly in this mountain, and it is only found in this place. We wanted to come and have a look, so we came here."

The proprietress nodded slightly, and then said: "Then you really don't look like it! A few years ago, we also had a group of people here, and those people also claimed to come to catch butterflies, but after entering the mountain, there was no more. I've come out."

"and then?"

"What's the matter? Then, we locals dare not go into that mountain. There is a mountain god on that mountain. If you are not careful, you will be fascinated by the mountain god. When you want to leave, you will not be able to go." come out!"

Lu Ming and the others nodded.

Seeing that they were very interested, the proprietress continued: "That mountain is called Zhelong Mountain. There are many legends on Zhelong Mountain. The most important one is the rumor about the Chonggu Valley. It is rumored that there is a mysterious person in the Chonggu Valley. This person can You can control the weather near the worm valley, and you can also control all the creatures around the worm valley, but if an ordinary person accidentally walks into his territory, he will immediately attack... the last person who walked in died without a whole body , only one bone remains.”

Fatty Wang swallowed and said, "Isn't this just a legend? It's nothing!"

"No! This is not just a legend. When people around us die, they will wear white clothes, put them on bamboo rafts, and then put them into the tributaries of the insect valley. Then something magical happens. These corpses are not It's going to float downstream, but it's going upstream, and it's going to disappear."

Seeing the proprietress saying this in a serious manner, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang couldn't believe it.

But Lu Ming knew very well that in the original book, when they wanted to cross Zhelong Mountain to find King Xian's tomb in Chonggu Valley, they encountered a group of corpses wearing white funeral clothes floating on the water.

It's just that the group of corpses didn't turn into white bones, but their bodies were all rotten, almost to the point where a lump of rotten flesh would fall off if touched.

There is also a species of piranha in those waters.

They are not big in childhood, only the size of a human palm, but they are 1.5 meters six in adulthood.

Most importantly, what they eat is not fresh human flesh, but carrion.

Because of eating carrion all year round, coupled with the resentment carried by carrion, slowly, this fish is also known as an unlucky symbol!
Of course, it wasn't just piranhas, they also encountered water hog bees.

Lu Ming took a deep breath. Now it seems that whether it is a water hornet or a piranha, they can't escape if they want to hide.

I just hope there are no monsters that don't appear in other original books.

At the beginning, everyone still couldn't let it go, and they just listened to the lady boss's talk, but soon, Fatty Wang and the others opened up their chatterbox, talking about anecdotes and strange things on the road one after another.

Zhang Qiling was holding a wine glass alone, listening to their conversation, drinking small cups of small cups.

It can be seen that he should be in a good mood.

Seeing this, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Brother, it seems that you are in a good mood now."

"Ok!"

"But what do you plan to do next?"

"For the time being, I will go wherever you go. When I have a chance, I will take you back and have a look."

"Ok!"

Lu Ming agreed.

Although he agreed, he didn't really want to visit the ancient building of the Zhang family.

When the banquet was about to end, the proprietress suddenly said: "Several, I don't think you are bad people. I have a heartless request here, and I ask you to agree."

"Miss Boss, just speak up, if you can help, we promise to be unambiguous."

"I want you to take the peacock with you."

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi, who were already slightly drunk, woke up.

Everyone present was silent.

The lady proprietress breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Actually, this inn doesn't make any money at all. We also have a tea garden above. The child's father lost it somehow when he went to the tea garden to pick tea. Let's look for it again. People can't find it..."

"What about after that? Is there no news after that?"

"We have been searching for three months, but there is no news. Then we heard from a villager that we are going to the insect valley."

Did you go to the Worm Valley?

This is really a bit strange.

Lu Ming and the others looked at each other, thinking how to reject him.

After all, in the current situation, it is simply unrealistic to bring the peacock along.

And no one knows what will happen there.

At this moment, Peacock stood up suddenly and said excitedly: "I won't trouble you, I can also take care of myself, I can do anything. You just need to take me there, even if you can't come back safely , I admit it too, I want to go see my father."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the people present became even more ugly.

Xue Liyang took a deep breath and asked Lu Ming, "Old Lu, can you take her with you?"

"Miss Yang, you also know how dangerous that insect valley is. It's dangerous enough for a few of us to go there. Now we have to bring a little girl, isn't that bad!"

"I know, but she just wants to see her father, that's all, we should fulfill her wish."

Hearing this, Lu Ming really didn't understand.

Shirley Yang should know exactly what to do in this business.

Since it was clear, it should also be understood that they did not have the time and energy to bring another outsider there.

And what will happen after arriving at the insect valley, who knows?
Lu Ming still wanted to refuse.

But Fatty Wang also stood up and said: "Lao Lu, don't refuse, you said we live here, and the proprietress finally begged us for something, if we just refuse, that's not good. "

Hu Bayi also persuaded: "Anyway, there are just a few of us. We went together, and it's good to come back together. Don't we also want to catch butterflies?"

Lu Ming took a deep breath and rolled his eyes.

He really didn't understand, did Hu Bayi lose his mind, or did he lose his mind?
However, the matter has come to this point, if he refuses again, it will appear that he is a little unreasonable.

Sighing, Lu Ming said, "Forget it, let's go together, but if there is danger, we really have no way to protect you, you have to understand."

"I know! But I just want to try and see if I can find him."

Taking a deep breath, Lu Ming stopped talking.

The big guys stopped talking when they saw Lu Ming, and they felt uncomfortable.

After returning to the room, Zhang Qiling looked at Lu Ming, hesitated for a while before saying, "You shouldn't take her down, it's too dangerous."

"I know, but look at those three people who are overflowing with sympathy, don't bring them, that's okay?"

"Ok!"

"Besides, Fatty is very stubborn. If he really doesn't take it with him, then he will probably lose his temper with us at that time!"

Lu Ming didn't look down on Fatty, nor did he say so on purpose.

It's just that in this case, everything has to be considered. Although Fatty Wang is not the strongest in terms of strength or ability, but without him, there are really many things that can't be done...
