This inn is their last supply station. Because the place is remote, there are not many people living in the entire inn. There are typical high-footed wooden buildings, and there are some rooms. Everyone randomly chose one and then went in.

The inn's owner is a young woman in her 30s and takes a girl of eighteen or nineteen to run the inn.

It was a coincidence that when everyone came back, they came back with the proprietress and the little girl. On the way, they helped them return to the inn with big bags of things. The proprietress was very grateful to them.

When everyone returned to the inn, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening. The boss's wife personally cooked a sumptuous dinner for everyone, and they ate their local specialties, such as stewed with vermicelli, stir-fried wild pheasant and tofu bamboo shoots, smoked pork and mushrooms, etc.

The time of a meal brought the relationship between the crowd a lot closer. Everyone learned that the young woman was a young widow and her husband died in a war. The girl of eighteen or nineteen years old was her husband's sister named Peacock.

Peacock is a minority girl who wears local specialty clothing, has a slim figure and a pair of big eyes, making her look lively and cute.

The fat man's interest suddenly came. He always wanted to show off in front of the girl if he had something to do. As a result, Peacock ignored him, but instead looked at Chen Hao secretly from time to time, his face turned red all of a sudden, and he quickly turned his head aside.

Everyone told the boss that they came from the capital and came to catch butterflies as specimens to supplement the vacancy in the domestic insect field.

The peacock listener was going to catch butterflies on the side of Zhelong Mountain, and frowned slightly and said, "I want to catch butterflies in the valley of Zhelong Mountain. There is only one way, which is to release water from the water cave at the foot of Zhelong Mountain. However, many people were killed in the water cave, so you should not go..."

Peacock's sister-in-law also hurriedly advised: "Yes, many people were haunted in the early years, and no one dared to go in again now. Moreover, the valley is full of poisonous miasma, and there are many poisonous insects, snakes and ants. Just catch a few butterflies outside here and go back, don't take risks."

Everyone's goal this time was to go to the tomb of King Xian and retrieve the Dust Dingzhu. How could they be persuaded to turn back? Of course, they couldn't listen to them, and they insisted on going no matter what they said.

Seeing this, Peacock and her sister-in-law had no choice but to give up and took out a Jianwei air gun from the house and gave it to everyone for self-defense.

This Jianwei air gun was shot with a medium-sized steel ball. It was used for hunting when Peacock's brother was not dead. Now it is borrowed to them for free without a deposit.

The power of the medium-sized steel ball air gun is actually good. It may not be used to fight wild boars, but it is more than enough to fight wolves. Everyone thanked Peacocks and the others and took the air guns over.

The fat man was very dissatisfied with the gun. He fiddled for a few times and said, "It's okay to hit a rabbit or a wolf, but when you encounter wild boars and human bears, you can't do anything. Is there any powerful one?"

Hu Bayi said: "Intercontinental missiles are powerful, can you fucking them? It would be great to have such a gun, and you should be content."

After dinner, everyone sat in the courtyard of the inn together and looked up at the starry sky. In the dark night, Zhalong Mountain, which is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, appeared towering black shadows under the moonlight.

In the valley of that mountain, there is the tomb of King Xian. They are already very close to their destination. Tomorrow, they can only walk the mountain road for half a day to get there.

After running around for several days, everyone was very tired. After taking a shower in a hurry, they went back to their rooms to rest and sleep.

There was no electricity in the inn. After blowing the candle, Chen Hao fell to sleep, but at this time the door was knocked on.

"Ahao, have you slept? I want to ask you some things..."

The sound of Sydney came from outside the door.

"What's the matter?"

Chen Hao asked.

"Can I come in and say it?"

Chen Hao had no choice but to get up, open the door, and let Xueli in.

Xueli said happily with a pretty face: "Thank you for the elixir for the professor. After he took it, his mental state improved a lot. Your elixir is really effective!"

"The professor is a pillar of the country. I am very pleased that we helped him. You are here for this?" Chen Hao asked.

Xueli looked at him resentfully and said coquettishly: "Can't you talk to you if you're fine? Am I so unpopular with you?"

Chen Hao: "...If you have anything, you might as well tell me."

"Are you still worried about the last time that I used you to go to Jingjue Ancient City?" asked Xueli.

Chen Hao said calmly: "No, I won't care about a woman."

Sydney pondered for a moment, then said, "I can only say sorry to you about what happened last time! But I had no choice but to do so because I wanted to solve the mystery of my own life experience and the reason for my father's death."

Chen Hao nodded, indicating that he could understand.

Sydney asked, "How confident are you to find the Dust Bead this time?"

Chen Hao said: "I am 100% sure, don't worry, we will find the Duchen Bead smoothly and untie the ghost eye curse on your body."

Sydney said, "I hope this is the case. I have a premonition that this plan will not go so smoothly. I have to thank you for taking care of us along the way..."

The next morning, Chen Hao got up early, brushed his teeth and had breakfast, woke everyone up one by one, brought his equipment, and set out to the river at the foot of Zhalong Mountain.

The peacock followed with a hatchet and helped everyone cut off a few thick bamboos. After roasting them over the fire for half an hour, they made two bamboo steaks.

These local bamboos are very thick, each of which is almost as thick as someone's thighs. After being dried over fire, they have strong buoyancy and have improved their toughness a lot, which is more than enough to carry people and equipment.

Chen Hao took out 200 yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into the Peacock's hand, and said, "Girl, go back, you can collect the money, we will be back in a few days."

"Ah... you only stayed for one night for so much money. We can't charge so much money. After you come back, we will settle the bill together. You must come back safely."

Peacock quickly returned the money to Chen Hao. The locals are simple and they will collect as much as they should and will never take advantage of others.

Chen Hao didn't force it, so he had to take back the money. After thanking the peacock again, he put the equipment on the bamboo steak behind. Everyone sat in the front and drifted into the dark cave along the water flow.

"Boom..."

At this moment, thunder was shaking the sky outside, and in a moment, it started to rain heavily.
