Tomb Raider: The comprehension is against the sky, and the achievement is indestructible

Chapter 96: Hanged Ghost, Water Swine Bee, and Sabertooth Viperfish Again

After Wang Cheng and Wang Lu were released, they returned to the inn and left quietly immediately. Before leaving, they even remembered to leave the money in the room.

After this incident, Su Mo and the others became more alert. Hubayi and Fatty Wang took turns on duty at night to prevent anyone from coming again.

Early the next morning, the five people got up, packed their things, gave the proprietress and Peacock money for their stay, and left the old jeep at the inn, telling the proprietress to drive away when she came back.

The proprietress and Peacock also prepared a lot of dry food and insect-repellent herbs for Su Mo and his friends, and asked Peacock to lead the way for them.

Peacock brought them all the way to the river near Zhalong Mountain, and Su Mo asked Peacock to go back quickly.

Before leaving, the peacock seemed reluctant to leave:
"Brother, be careful, there are a lot of insects and beasts in there!"

Su Mo smiled and said:
"Brother will certainly have ways to deal with them, don't worry, we will be back soon!"

Peacock then reluctantly left, looking back every three steps. Looking at her back, Shirley Yang couldn't help but laugh:

"Master Su, you might as well stay in Zhalong Mountain. It seems like this little girl's heart is all with you!"

Shirley Yang has a forthright personality. She doesn't care that Peacock seems to have a crush on Su Mo. Instead, she teases Su Mo.

Su Mo nodded:

"That's good too. This place has beautiful scenery and simple folk customs. If I stay here, I can live comfortably!"

After hearing Su Mo's words, Shirley Yang, who didn't care much, couldn't help but let her smile gradually freeze, and turned to look at Su Mo:
"Do you really want to stay here?"

Su Mo looked at her and couldn't help but smile:
"Yes, but if I stay, I don't necessarily have to stay at Caiyun Inn. I can open another inn by myself, and just call it Moxue Inn!"

When Shirley Yang heard this, her heart was suddenly moved, and she looked at Su Mo with a smile in her eyes.

Moxue Inn, naturally, refers to Su Mo’s Mo and Shirley Yang’s Xue!
When Fatty Wang heard this, he laughed and said:
"Master, let me tell you, why don't we just open a New Moon Restaurant here? Then..."

He knew that Yin Nanfeng from the Crescent Hotel seemed to have a good impression of Su Mo, but at this moment his mind suddenly jumped and he spoke.

Hubayi quietly kicked him from behind and whispered:
"Fatty, if you can't talk, just stop talking!"

Fortunately, Shirley Yang didn't understand and continued to smile:
"Crescent Hotel? I think I've heard of it, but I think the Moxue Inn sounds better!"

A few people chatted and laughed, and soon they went deep into the depths of Zhalong Mountain. At this time, the trees around them were very dense, and there were vines everywhere in the middle, so that the sunlight was blocked and the visible range became smaller and smaller.

Fatty Wang led the way with a machete in hand, muttering as he walked:
"Damn, this pristine tropical rainforest is really not accessible to ordinary people. No wonder so many Americans died in South Vietnam!"

Speaking of South Vietnam, Hubayi's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, and he seemed to recall a lot of past events.

At this time, Su Mo smiled and said:
"The Snake River is almost here!" Everyone listened attentively and indeed heard the faint sound of water in the distance.

After a while, they arrived at the river. Shirley Yang tested the depth and speed of the river, then she and Huba made a large bamboo raft with bamboo. The five of them then boarded the raft and drifted downstream.

After drifting along the river for a distance, they entered a limestone cave. The cave was very wide, but the height was fluctuating. The lowest place was only a little over one meter. When they got here, they could only bend down and squat on the bamboo raft to get through.

The top of the cave is covered with stalactites that look like wolf teeth, sparkling with crystal light under the light, looking beautiful and strange!
After passing an extremely low stage, the waterway opens up in front of it. In the cave ahead are rows of natural lava terraces. The stacked stalactites are like surging sea waves, flashing magnificent light under the searchlight.

A huge blood-red stone pillar hung upside down on the top of the cave, like the bright red fangs in the mouth of a giant beast, and the five people riding on the bamboo raft were like being sent to the mouth of the giant beast!
Behind the beast's mouth, there were many dark shadows hanging vaguely, like hanged ghosts, appearing and disappearing in the cave.

"Oh my god, this isn't the gate of hell!"

Fatty Wang looked at the cave that looked like a beast's mouth and the dark shadow deep in the cave, but he couldn't help but said in shock with a pale face.

Huba Yida:
"Commander Wang, you are at least a tall man. Don't tell me you are frightened to death!"

Fatty Wang shook his head:
"It's not that scary, but the situation inside is a bit too scary!"

Su Mo stood on the bamboo raft and looked forward intently. He found that the magnetic field and power in the cave were not chaotic, but there was a gloomy atmosphere. Those vaguely visible black shadows were exactly the stone figurines they had seen halfway yesterday!
These stone figurines are suspended from the ceiling of the cave with iron chains. Many of the chains have been corroded and rusted, and some have simply broken. The stone figurines on top have disappeared, leaving only half of the chain hanging down.

A dark cave, a hanging human figure, rusty chains, and a gloomy atmosphere...

To say that this place is like the underworld is not an exaggeration!

Not to mention that Fatty Wang and Huba got nervous when they saw these things, even the young man couldn't help but reach out and touch the handle of the black gold ancient knife behind him when he saw these stone figurines hanging upside down in front of him like countless hanged ghosts.

The bamboo raft soon reached the deep end of the waterway and drifted past the stone figurines.

Suddenly, there was a splash not far away. The iron chain on a stone statue was completely rusted and broke. The stone statue fell from the top of the cave into the water, just like a hanged ghost suddenly jumping into the water, which scared Huba and the others.

The stone figurine fell into the water, and soon the stone shell became swollen due to being soaked in the water. Many cracks gradually appeared on the surface, and then black insects crawled out from the cracks. Soon, a layer of them floated in the water. They were so dense that they looked both terrifying and disgusting!

Hubayi and the others looked at these insects with unhappy expressions and were even more nervous.

Su Mo said in a deep voice:
"This is a water wasp. It bites hard, but it can't fly out of the water!"

Huba and the others felt a little relieved after hearing this.

But at this moment, a sound of water suddenly came from the water surface in the distance, and then a wave suddenly rose in the waterway ahead, and a group of large fish with silver bodies and more than a foot long suddenly swam over in a group.

It was exactly the same kind of saber-toothed viperfish that Su Mo and his friends had seen in the stone tablet shop before!
These knife-toothed viperfish swam to the bamboo raft in a blink of an eye and began to devour the water boar wasps in big mouthfuls. In a blink of an eye, the area near the bamboo raft was splashed with water by the fish and water boar wasps, and the entire water surface seemed to be boiling!
