To be precise, what Da Mei said did have some effect on Zhao Mingyuan and the little policeman who was left behind. But thinking about the little policeman who disappeared underwater just now still makes one sigh in amazement. Now Zhao Mingyuan's mind is full of questions, but he figured out that even if he asked Sun Baozi, the most talkative among these people, it would probably be futile. It's better to say nothing and try to maintain a good attitude instead.

  Among these people, Zhao Mingyuan didn't speak up, and the remaining two, Autumn Dami and that little policeman, were even less likely to open their mouths. The three of them could only consider themselves unlucky for not checking the almanac before going out today.

  After a short rest, the group continued on their way. However, this time Autumn didn't dare to lead the way again, and instead, Yuè Hé took the lead, with Autumn directing from behind him. The road ahead was just as Autumn had described earlier, and after walking out of here, the view in front of them began to open up.

  Here is still a world of stalactites, large and small stalactites crisscrossing each other, which can also be considered a rare and spectacular sight. However, at this time, no one has the mind to look at this anymore. Almost everyone's thoughts are to get out as soon as possible, as for the stalactites, it's okay to watch them on TV later if there's a chance.

  Through the forest of stalactites, they saw the spiral inner rotating mountain road that Autumn had mentioned earlier. At this time, they were walking to the bottom center position of the gourd belly inside the cave. Looking up with their heads raised, a bright spot the size of a needle tip appeared at an unknown height above them, and above it should be the exit at the top of the mountain.

  At the foot of the mountain wall on Pan Shan Road, there were more than a dozen torches wrapped in oilcloth inserted, and there was also half a bucket of kerosene on the ground. Due to being wrapped layer by layer with oilcloth, these torches were preserved unexpectedly well. In this environment with such high humidity, after applying kerosene and igniting it, the flames burned very high, and even the smoke seemed very little.

  "These torches were prepared by the Taoist priests who came here years ago. Before there were no flashlights, they relied on these torches." Zhao Mingyuan and Xiao Jingcha were busy lighting the torches when Autumn Dami explained this to them. Just now, after messing around in the water pool for a while, her only flashlight also started to flicker. Just as the light of the flashlight was about to go out, she suddenly remembered that there were still torches left behind by the Taoist priests here years ago."

  Zhao Mingyuan, Qiu Dimei and the little policeman each lit a torch, fearing that something unexpected might happen halfway. Zhao Mingyuan also put all the remaining torches into the three people's backpacks. With the light of these three torches, the hearts of Zhao Mingyuan and his two companions finally felt a bit more at ease. At first, Deputy Director Zhao was worried that this would attract the attention of the "ashes", but after seeing the dark and gloomy surroundings, he also let go, thinking that being killed by someone or being scared to death were equally strong possibilities here.

  After the light, it's much smoother to walk up. This group of people continued to climb along the winding mountain road, and only after they walked for a while did they realize that this mountain path became narrower as they went further forward. At first, three or four people could still walk side by side, but soon it narrowed down to only two people who could walk together, and further on, these six people were walking in a single line.

  At this time, except for the occasional warning from Da Mei about which section of the road was broken and where it had become narrow, basically no one spoke. Even Sun Baozi, who usually talked a lot, didn't know why he had become silent, his eyes darting back and forth among the others, and several times if not for someone reminding him, Sun Baozi almost stepped into thin air and fell off the mountain road.

  Almost at the waist of the mountain, Hugo, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. He turned around and made a gesture to be quiet, this road is too narrow, after he blocked it, the people behind him didn't know what happened. The atmosphere became tense again, Autumn Beauty, who was behind Hugo, plucked up her courage, tiptoed forward and took a peek, only to see that there was nothing in front of Hugo.

  Just as Akane was about to ask Hikaru what had happened, a hand suddenly covered her mouth from behind. In this situation, Akane's pores were all standing on end, and just as she was about to struggle and shout, she heard Sun Wukong's oily voice ringing in her ear: "Don't say a word..."

  In the eyes of several people, including Autumn, there was nothing in front of Hugo. However, after Hugo stopped in his tracks, Sun Baozi immediately squatted down and saw a different scene from under Hugo's feet. At a position twenty meters in front of Hugo, a black fog appeared, and in the fog, there was a vague figure. Sun Baozi and Hugo looked clearly, it was indeed Liu Baozhen who disappeared at the handover ceremony yesterday.

  Liu Baozhen was also walking along the winding mountain road, but he was moving extremely slowly, stopping and starting as if searching for something. Seeing his target right in front of him, Sun Dazhu slowly released his hand covering Autumn's mouth, turned around and whispered to Yang Tie in a very low voice: "Old Yang, they've run into your gunpoint, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

  At this time, Yang Xiao saw Liu Baozhen in front of him through the gaps between several people's bodies. After hearing Sun Wuzi's words, he smiled slightly and said: "Since we've already seen her, what's the hurry? Liu Baozhen's soul is not complete now, she can't be seen by ordinary people, so what's there to fear? Let's see what she wants to do first, and it'll still be in time to take action after Liu Baozhen finds what she's looking for."

  After hearing Yang Xiao's words, Sun Baozi was very unconvinced and curled his lips, still speaking in a very low voice to himself: "Why do I get nervous every time you're confident..."

  Yang Xiao didn't pay attention to Sun Baozi, his body suddenly jumped up, and both feet were standing on the side of the mountain wall. The whole person moved horizontally, step by step, from above the heads of Sun Baozi and several others, to the front of Yu Hao. Zhao Mingyuan and Little Policeman behind were shocked, but after reacting, they understood what had happened again, and both began to quietly retreat a few steps, keeping distance from the people in front.

  Yang Wei circled around to the front of Hugo's body, then 'walked' down from the wall. He slowly walked to a position three or four meters behind Liu Baozhen before stopping in his tracks, quietly watching Liu Baozhen and observing his every move.

  Liu Baozhen took a step, and Yang Xiao followed suit. This ended up putting the people who came later in a difficult spot. As time ticked by second by second, after three or four hours, they were still lingering at the mountain waist position. Fortunately, after walking forward for dozens of meters, the mountain path became slightly wider. Although it was still only possible for one person to move forward at a time, at least someone with a build like Sun Baozi's could sit down and rest for a bit. Qiu Dimei also circled around to the back of Sun Baozi, joining Zhao Mingyuan and others, hiding far away in the back, watching the every move of the people in front, including Sun Baozi.

  Sun Pangzi really felt bored, so he said to Hugo: "Director Hugo, go ask Yang Xiao, what does this mean? Not that I'm saying, seeing the boss and not taking action, when is he going to do it? If an ordinary police officer were to catch a criminal like this, I would definitely think he was taking bribes."

  Hugo also sat down beside Sun, looking at Yang's back and smiling before saying: "Yang must have discovered something, let him continue to look at that soul. But there is one thing I don't understand, Sun, after such a long time, why hasn't Wu appeared? With his usual personality, he dislikes wasting time the most. But this time it seems a bit unusual, Sun, could something have happened to Wu?"

  "Is Old Wu causing trouble?" Sun Baozi chuckled and said, "I'm not saying it, but Old Wu has always been the one to cause trouble for others. What kind of trouble can he possibly get into himself? He's probably hiding somewhere right now, watching our every move, taking note of all the embarrassing things we do in a little notebook, waiting for an opportunity to bring up old scores and stir up trouble for us, just like this..."

  At this point, Sun Baozi paused for a moment, collected his smile, and with a sly gaze at Yuanguo, imitating Wu Renyi's tone, said: "I'm telling you, foreign monk, if I were you, I would have drowned in the water pool on He Miao Peak long ago. That way, you wouldn't come to bother me every time you can't solve something..."

  Yuè Hǎo looked at it and covered his mouth, laughing straight away. After finishing laughing, he said to Sūn Pàngzi: "Sūn, last time Wú said the same thing about me, only replacing the water pool here with another place. You've learned too well, if I didn't already know you, I would have thought you were a professional who had studied stage plays."

  "Almost, when I was an undercover agent before, I relied on my acting skills to win people over." Sun Baozi's eyes were fixed on Yang Xiao's side, seeing that there was still no movement, he wanted to continue chatting with Yu Guo for a few more sentences. But this time his words had not yet come out, originally quiet Liu Baozhen suddenly made a move.

  Then, Liu Baozhen's body mist suddenly expanded outward and then quickly contracted back. At this time, his entire body became clear, no longer in the previous blurry state, even the whiskers and wrinkles on his face could be seen clearly.

  Liu Baozhen seemed to have seen something. Her facial features twisted together, and she rushed straight at Yang Xiao. However, Yang Xiao seemed not to have noticed, smiling ambiguously as he looked at Liu Baozhen, without making any extra moves to dodge.

  Liu Baozhen suddenly appeared in front of Yang Xiao, their faces almost touching, their eyes locked together like two street thugs sizing each other up before a fight. Sun Peng and Hugo had already drawn their guns, thinking Yang Xiao was about to make a move, when Liu Baozhen's eyes suddenly became distant, his body once again becoming blurry. After swaying for a moment, he turned around and continued walking up the mountain road.
