What's wrong with living for tens of thousands of years and eating soft food?

The entrance to Shuanglong Mountain.

A sturdy man in training uniform walked up to Qiu Ke and said, "Xiao Ke, brothers are all ready. Do you want to go into the mountain now?"

"Well, let's go. Our security team will have five people in front and five people in the back. Let the people from the expedition team follow in the middle. We must protect them."

The sturdy man bared his teeth and laughed loudly: "Haha! Okay, you are the leader today, and we all listen to you."

With Qiu Ke's wave of his hand, more than twenty people set off in a mighty manner.

In order to go to the mountains to find ghost noodles, Zhang Youzhi really spent a lot of money.

Among the team of more than 20 people, ten people are responsible for the security of the team. Qiu Ke leads the team. The deputy team leader is the strong man who just spoke, named Lin Jiuyao.

This man was Qiu Ke's former comrade-in-arms. He was tall and strong, and had strong individual combat capabilities. After he retired from the army, he met a noble man who funded him and opened a security company.

Excluding the ten people from the security team.

Among the remaining dozen people, there are three wilderness survival experts.

The three professor-level disciples are all disciples who have been practicing medicine for more than ten years and have excellent medical skills.

There are also two professors who study plants, two Feng Shui masters and some expedition teams, people responsible for rescuing people.

This time the personnel salary, plus equipment expenses.

Zhang Youzhi spent nearly 50 million on a trip to the mountains!

Qiu Ke and Lin Jiuyao took the lead, and the group quickly entered the foggy area after overcoming obstacles.

At this time.

The expedition team member who survived a few days ago ran over and said: "Captain Qiu, be careful. The last time we went out not far ahead."

The surviving expedition member was frightened by the previous operation.

If Zhang Youzhi hadn't given him too much, he would definitely not come again.

Qiu Ke raised his hand to signal the team to stop: "Stop moving forward and use the drone to explore the path."

Lin Jiuyao waved his hand, and one of the security team members stepped forward, took out the drone from his backpack, and controlled the drone to fly into the sky.

"Buzzing..."

The drone made a faint sound and flew into the fog for a few minutes.

The person controlling the drone looked at the screen, frowned and said, "No, the visibility is too low. You can't see anything beyond two meters."

Qiu Ke: "Decrease altitude and fly close to the ground."

"No, there are wild beasts in the forest. If you fly too low, you may be caught by the wild beasts."

Lin Jiuyao slapped him on the head and cursed: "Damn it! How much does a drone cost? How much are the lives of our group of people worth?"

"Besides, if the drone breaks down, Xiaoke will reimburse you for it. He's a coward!"

The person controlling the drone curled his lips and lowered the height of the drone.

Immediately, he exclaimed: "Captain Qiu! There is something on the ground!"

Qiu Ke gathered around the screen and squinted his eyes: "Is this... a corpse? Fly lower."

When the drone was about to hit the ground, Qiu Ke finally saw clearly that it was a corpse lying on the ground!

He turned his head and asked the surviving expedition member: "Have the bodies of your members who died in the mountains been disposed of last time?"

"I was so preoccupied with escaping for my life that I had no time to deal with it!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ke commanded: "Let the drone fly around to make sure there is no danger, and then we will go over and take a look."

Because the fog in the mountains is too thick.

The drone flew for more than an hour before confirming that the area within a fifty-meter radius was safe, and several bodies were also found.

They were wearing uniform clothes and seemed to be the last rescue team who died in the mountains.

"Everyone is alert and ready to move forward."

Qiu Ke gave the order, and the security team immediately formed a square formation, raised their guns, and walked forward little by little.

……

After a few minutes.

A group of people found the bodies and confirmed their identities as those of the previous expedition.

There was a rotten smell floating in the air, and those who could not bear it had started to vomit while holding on to the ground.

As if nothing happened, Lin Jiuyao laboriously pulled out the crossbow arrow from the head of one of the corpses.

"Holy shit! Was this a person killed with a compound bow? The Tianling Cap was shot through. How awesome!" Lin Jiuyao looked at the hole in the Tianling Cap of the corpse and said in surprise.

Qiu Ke picked up the crossbow arrows that fell on the ground and glanced at them: "For compound crossbows, the arrows of bows and arrows are not this short."

"Swish..."

"Who?!" Qiu Ke turned around suddenly, turned his gun and aimed at the grass that made the noise.

The security team immediately tensed up and looked around with vigilant eyes.

After a few minutes.

There has been no movement around.

Lin Jiuyao relaxed and patted Qiu Ke on the shoulder: "Don't be too nervous, it might be a wild beast."

"Impossible!" Qiu Ke said with certainty: "I don't rule out that there are wild beasts in the mountains, but there are certainly none around!"

Lin Jiuyao looked at the slightly rotted but uneaten corpses on the ground. He once again raised his guard and approached Qiu Ke and said, "It's okay. After so many years, your investigative skills haven't faded at all."

"Shh... there are sounds around." Qiu Ke's ears twitched.

Suddenly, a knocking sound was heard not far away.

"Boom...boom..."

Church turned around and half-knelt on the ground, raised the muzzle of the gun, turned it to the opposite direction, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom!"

"what!!!"

A scream came from the mist.

"Jiu Yao, follow me, the rest of you stand still and don't move!" Qiu Ke put his gun on his back and rushed toward the place where the screams came from.

Lin Jiuyao followed closely behind.

……

In the mist.

The strange old man's sheep-head staff fell to the ground. There was a round hole in the belly of his left leg, and blood was oozing out.

"Hiss!" The strange old man had a headache and was sweating profusely. He shouted anxiously: "Zhuzi, stop being so stupid! Come and help me!"

A man wearing a mask stepped forward, helped the strange old man up, and asked: "Village Chief, is... is the police coming?"

"The police won't shoot rashly. It must be poaching. Let's go!"

The strange old man limped forward with the support of the pillar.

suddenly.

Qiu Ke sprang out of the fog, jumped up and hit Zhuzhu's head with his whip leg.

The mask on Zhuzhu's head flew out, and he lay on the ground twitching all over, foaming from the corners of his mouth.

The strange old man was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground.

"Pillar! Pillar!"

The strange old man struggled to climb to the pillar when a cold pistol was pressed against his temple.

"Gudong..."

The strange old man swallowed his saliva, raised his head tremblingly, and looked into Qiu Ke's beast-like eyes.

"Hero, spare your life! Hero, spare your life..." The strange old man knelt down and begged for mercy, begging bitterly.

"What do you do?" Qiu Ke frowned.

The strange old man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with the skull of an unknown animal tied around his waist.

Combined with the rough-made sheep's head stick that fell to the ground, an idea quickly flashed in Qiu Ke's mind.

Could the old man in front of him be the high priest of some ancient tribe?

"I...I went into the mountains to collect herbs..." The strange old man's eyes flickered, obviously he was lying.

However, the strange old man seemed to be over seventy years old. Facing an old man who was over sixty years old, Qiu Ke was really embarrassed to make a move.

Just because he was embarrassed to take action didn't mean that Lin Jiuyao was embarrassed too.

This is a master who doesn’t tolerate other people’s faults!

Lin Jiuyao kicked the strange old man, and said with a tigerish face: "Tell the truth! Otherwise I will kill you!"

"boom!"

Lin Jiuyao shot his gun at the strange old man's feet, making him scream in fright.

"Don't kill me! I say!"

"I am a villager near Shuanglong Mountain! My name is Xu Dabao!"
