Chapter 629: Fire Valley

The fourth aunt's words stimulated Gu Shaoyu and everyone present.

that is!

After all, they are all people who have died once, so even if what is found is a pile of bones, at least it is the real body of Gu Jiu, and taking him back can help him rest in peace.

But if they can find Gu Jiu alive, then they will be grateful to themselves for not giving up today.

Therefore, none of them rested, and began to search carefully around the luminous jade pendant within a radius of 100 meters.

From night to day, and from day to night.

After searching for almost seven days, they actually followed the traces of dead branches and leaves and found the entrance to a cave they had never seen before. It was so dark inside that no one knew whether there would be any ferocious beasts.

For example, a poisonous snake or something.

Ni Yang took out some realgar powder and poison-proof pills and distributed them. These things can save lives in critical moments.

Zheng Deli had been looking for clues with his head down every day, and he couldn't hold himself back for a long time. So he was more happy to see this cave than anything else, and he immediately swung his hammers and said.

"General, let me go explore the path. No matter what is in this cave, I'll just keep it until it falls to pieces!"

"Don't be careless. You and Ni Yang go together and be careful."

"OK!"

After receiving the order, Zheng Deli couldn't hold back anymore, so he roared and led people to rush in. Seeing this, Ni Yang followed closely, and soon, the group of people disappeared.

They listened carefully outside. There was some movement at first, but after a while the movement disappeared, leaving only silence.

One hour passed, and two hours passed. Seeing that there was no way in or out of the cave, the fourth aunt became anxious.

"They are not in danger inside, right? Shaoyu, let's go in and take a look?"

Gu Shaoyu stood there with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly. It shouldn't be. Zheng Deli and Ni Yang were both very capable. There was no reason why they didn't react for so long.

So, after being silent for a while, he said to the Fourth Old Madam.

"Fourth Aunt is waiting for me here. I'll go check it out first. If there's no news after half an hour, you can go back the same way and don't take any more risks!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll go too! There are so many people in the family and so many things to do. If you have any trouble, how can I explain it to them! I have already earned enough by the time I live to this age, and Xiaojiu has already done it. It’s my son, I’ll go find him and he’ll be rewarded! Don’t argue with me, just wait here. If you don’t see us coming out in half an hour, go back and think about it later!”

"Fourth Aunt! That is also my ninth brother. How can I let you take risks like this?"

"Then can I let you go? Shaoyu! Listen to me!"

Before the two people could reach a conclusion in their endless debate, they saw a few people walking out. Zheng Deli looked at them in confusion and then asked.

"What are the general and the old lady arguing about?"

"You're back? Are you okay?"

Seeing Zheng Deli and others, everyone immediately stepped forward to greet him and asked him anxiously, but Zheng Deli said calmly.

"This cave looks intimidating, but in fact it is a different kind of cave. Ni Yang is waiting at the entrance of the cave on the other side. There is a dense forest there, but you can hear the sound of the stream. Maybe there is someone there!"

"really?"

"Don't worry, madam, when will I, Old Zheng, tell lies!"

The fourth aunt was extremely excited, but because she had to take care of Gu Shaoyu, she suppressed her energy and hurried towards the entrance of the cave.

This was an opportunity they had been looking for for a long time, so naturally they couldn't let it go.

Gu Shaoyu followed closely, and the remaining guards also followed into the cave.

The cave is dark, but there are torches lighting up the road. Although it is a bit scary, it is not bad. There is the smell of realgar powder all the way, so you can occasionally hear some small sounds, but no beasts or poisonous insects are approaching.

After walking for a long time, just when everyone felt a little panicked, suddenly there was a light ahead. Just a point, and the fourth aunt could no longer control her emotions and ran towards the light. And go.

Soon the group came out of the cave.

Gu Shaoyu looked back and saw that there were some marks of knife and ax cuts on the cave, so it must be man-made. But why did such a long cave appear in Qiuhua Mountain?

The doubts in his heart had not yet been answered, and soon a soldier beside him exclaimed in a low voice.

"General, this is not Qiuhua Mountain anymore, it should be Fire Valley. Look, this is the Fire Flower that only exists in Fire Valley!"

The soldier's fingertips were indeed red.

This Fire Valley is a natural chasm, and almost no one has ever gone down to the bottom of the valley. It was only known to the world that the Fire Flowers bloomed very brightly.

However, this fire flower has no effect and is useless except for its beauty. Therefore, no one will risk their lives to come here, so it has become an isolated place.

This cave actually leads to the Fire Valley, so the idea quickly came to Gu Shaoyu's mind.

There must be people living at the bottom of the valley, and this cave is their way to the outside.

Therefore, the thought that Gu Jiu was still alive in his mind became even stronger, so he immediately gave the order.

"First find the stream, then divide the troops into two teams, one facing up and the other facing down. When the scorching sun is high in the sky, return to the starting point of the stream."

"As you command!"

It is certainly not difficult for a person to live in the woods.

But if a group of people want to live in the forest, then water is the most important thing. Gu Shaoyu thinks that those people are likely to live by the water, so finding a stream is the most direct way.

There are many soldiers with amazing hearing in the army, so they can hear the movement while lying on the ground, so without much trouble, a slightly wider stream appeared in front of them.

It is clear to the bottom, and you can still see live fish swimming in the water.

It is not deep, at most above the knees, and there are small reefs everywhere. Seeing these, everyone is excited about finding the result.

So the soldiers were divided into two teams, Gu Shaoyu and Zheng Deli in one team, and the fourth aunt, Lizhu and Ni Yang in another team, and they took people to act separately.

Following the stream, after walking for about an incense stick of time, they saw an open area, and then there were dense trees, and it seemed that there was no way to go.

Zheng Deli stretched his muscles and bones, and then said.

"General, shall we continue to go into the forest?"

This stream has a direction, but the forest does not. If you want to go inside, you need a direction.

Gu Shaoyu did not answer him. He squatted down beside the stream and looked at it carefully.

Those big stones were extremely smooth, and it was obvious that they had been polished and used frequently.
