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

Early the next morning, the proprietress prepared breakfast for them and a lot of dry food.

After they had breakfast, they set out on the road.

At the beginning, I just walked along the path, but soon, there was no road ahead.

There are thorns on both sides, and it seems difficult to walk.

The peacock walked for a while and said, "The road ahead will become more and more difficult. Let me lead the way."

"Need not!"

Zhang Qiling walked to the front, drew out the ancient black gold knife, and used the ancient black gold knife to open the way in front.

With Zhang Qiling leading the way, they walked quickly.

After a while, they heard the sound of gurgling water.

Hearing this voice, Fatty Wang chuckled and said, "Aren't we about to reach the place where they were buried in water?"

"Well! It's almost there!" Peacock said.

Fatty Wang grinned, moved closer to Peacock, and continued to ask: "Girl Peacock, this is idle time anyway, can you tell us about the rumors about Zhelong Mountain and Chonggu Valley?"

"Actually, I don't know much. It seems that since my father disappeared, the rumors about Chonggu Valley and Zhelong Mountain have been deliberately concealed by the older generation, saying that the place is very dangerous and cannot be entered."

Was it deliberately concealed?

This shows that this place is really not simple.

At least, it's not as simple as they thought.

You have to figure out a way to figure it out.

"Peacock, do you know anything else?"

"I don't know anything else, but I attended a funeral before, and it was here. The corpse really went up."

"When did you attend the funeral?"

"A year ago, what happened?"

Lu Ming's face was a little ugly.

The weeds and thorns that Zhang Qiling cut off just now are about half a person tall, which is about eighty or ninety centimeters.

Whether it's weeds or thorns, it's midsummer now, and it's understandable that they grow taller in autumn, but it's a bit too much to grow so tall now.

Moreover, the places that have been stepped on by people generally have some deviations in growth, and it will not look like there is no deviation at all like now, unless it is... transplanted by someone.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming's expression became even uglier.

He turned to the peacock and asked, "Miss Peacock, let me ask you, does anyone come to this place often?"

"No! There are fewer and fewer people in the village over the years. Except when someone dies, the funeral will come to this place. At other times, almost no one will come. Everyone agrees that this place is not an auspicious place..."

Lu Ming was even more puzzled.

Could it be that someone sneaked in while they were not paying attention?

It is indeed possible.

He turned around, just about to take a look.

As a result, the scene in front of him stunned him.

On the road they just walked, the thorns that Zhang Qiling had cut off had returned to their original state.

If it weren't for the severed thorn branches still on the side, he would have thought that Zhang Qiling had opened up a path in some weird way.

Big guys, you look at me and I look at you, with surprised expressions on your faces.

But no one spoke.

Just at this juncture, the wind that could barely be regarded as a breeze, and could not even be felt, suddenly became violent.

It started to become the kind of evil wind that hurts people's faces.

The peacock screamed and squatted on the ground: "He is here, it must be him!"

"Who?" Lu Ming asked anxiously.

The peacock didn't speak, and kept mumbling "he's coming, he's coming, etc."

Lu Ming felt it was very strange. He grabbed Peacock's arm and pulled him up: "Stop trying to hide it, tell me what is coming!"

The peacock still didn't speak, and shrank there, as if it was about to cry.

Fatty Wang hurried over and said, "Lao Lu, I'm a little girl, can't you be a little more polite to her?"

"I am indeed polite to people, but I am not polite to everyone. I am clearly hiding it from us. Why should I be polite?"

"I didn't want to hide it from you, I was just... afraid, I really..."

After Peacock finished speaking, the evil wind became even stronger, to the point where they couldn't stand firm unless they were close together.

"Damn it, what the hell is going on with this motherfucker?" Fatty Wang roared.

No one responded to him, and no one even knew how to respond.

Suddenly, Hu Bayi thought of something and said loudly: "Everyone squat down! Hurry up!"

After he finished speaking, everyone present squatted down.

Thorns and weeds slowly surrounded them, and the gust of evil wind was slowly disappearing at a speed they could feel...

A few minutes later, the wind completely disappeared, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief...

Fatty Wang got up from the ground. He looked around and found that they were completely lost, surrounded by weeds and thorns, and he panicked.

"I didn't say, what is the situation? This is too strange! Why did a sudden gust of wind come and disappear?"

Lu Ming also stood up.

After making sure that there was nothing around, he didn't speak immediately, but frowned tightly.

Just now when the evil wind was at its strongest, he felt a little hot on the shoulder blades on his back.

As the evil wind got closer, the hot feeling became more obvious.

There were a few seconds at the end that were even unbearable.

Lu Ming felt that there must be something strange about it.

But now is not the time to think about these, let's think about the peacock first.

"It's over, Peacock, shouldn't you tell us the truth?"

Peacock still didn't speak, but there was a dull look in his eyes, obviously frightened.

Shirley Yang hugged the peacock distressedly when she saw it, and said, "Lu Ming, can you stop talking like that, you are frightened by the peacock."

"Miss Yang, I'm thinking about us right now. You have to think about how dangerous this business is. If Peacock is still hiding it from us, then..."

What does this mean? Lu Ming felt that he had expressed it clearly enough.

If Shirley Yang is really a cautious person, then you should understand what he means.

But Shirley Yang didn't say anything.

Lu Ming sighed, and said, "This time, I became a bad person instead."

"Lao Lu, Miss Yang and Fatty don't mean that."

"No such meaning, what does that mean?"

Lu Ming also felt angry.

Now this situation is different from that in the original book. If there is any trouble, even he can't solve it.

His primary purpose is not to keep one outsider safe, but to keep them all safe.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming took a deep breath and continued: "Forget it, if you don't want to pursue it, then forget it!"

Hu Bayi was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.

"Old Hu, lend me your compass."

Hu Bayi didn't think about anything, and handed it over directly.

Lu Ming took over the compass, and soon, he determined the direction.

Then everyone continued to set off.

As before, Zhang Qiling still opened the way, but soon, Zhang Qiling stopped.

At the same time, the heat on the shoulder blades behind Lu Ming reappeared.

"There's something nearby!" Zhang Qiling said.

Lu Ming also knew that there was indeed something nearby. He looked up and down carefully, but he still couldn't find where it was.

Just when he was nervous, the peacock said, "Actually, there is a legend in our neighborhood. It says that as long as you get close to Zhelong Mountain, a mysterious person will appear. That mysterious person is not a person, but a mountain god. He will stop all those with ulterior motives from entering Zhelong Mountain..."
