“Let me put it this way. According to my judgment, that brown-gray-haired mouse has not yet reached the level of a humanoid, but a mere human cannot be its opponent!”

Gu Ling was also very puzzled at the time, and even wondered for a moment whether there was a mysterious person or a mysterious beast helping them.

Otherwise, they had all been knocked unconscious by the gas, so why did the brown rat die?

Zhao Cang and others are still alive.

"So, you think this trip to Kangtong Peak is not that simple?"

Feng Xian nodded, "It's definitely not that simple!"

"Sister, did you see that too?"

"So what if you figured it out? Have you forgotten why we're here?"

Gu Ling touched his head again and rubbed his hands to warm them up, "I understand!"

What's the point of thinking so much?

The story is actually very simple.

Find the culprit who killed human beings in Kangtong Peak.

Find the purple cicada and quickly break through.

When I returned to the camp, I heard the soldiers' report.

It is said that Captain Bayao has arrived and is in Yanbei’s tent.

This Ba Yao is from the Zhaocang camp, why did he come here?

Could it be that something happened to Zhao Cang?

Gu Ling and Feng Xian hurried to Yan Bei's tent.

When I pushed open the curtain, there was no tense atmosphere at all.

The two of them were talking and laughing.

He stopped talking when he saw Gu Ling and Feng Xian coming back.

"Captain Ba, why are you here?" Gu Ling asked.

Bayao stood up, and the smile on his face turned solemn in an instant.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Gu Ling asked again.

"Nothing happened, but, Commander, do you know where we will pass tomorrow?"

Gu Ling shook his head. "Where?"

"There will be a lake after crossing the valley ahead. However, there is no water in the lake anymore!" Bayao's eyes were full of panic.

"And then?" Gu Ling was an impatient person. The slower Ba Yao spoke, the more anxious he became.

"This lake is very strange... We must avoid it when we pass by it tomorrow!"

"Weird? How do you mean that?"

"This lake was sent by God to punish unclean people. We locals call it the 'Unclean Lake'. Once you enter the lake, or even walk past it, as long as you have unclean thoughts, you will not have a good ending!" Bayao said this very seriously, without any sign of joking.

"Is it really that magical? After hearing what you said, I really want to go and see it tomorrow!" Gu Ling said with a smile.

"No, no, no...don't do that...this will be cursed!" Bayao was terrified.

"Captain Ba, don't worry, he is just joking with you!" Yan Bei quickly explained.

Bayao looked at Gu Ling, his eyes seemed to say: Don’t do that!

After Ba Yao left, Yan Bei said with a smirk, "Brother Gu Ling, why are you trying to scare Captain Ba? After all, he came here in the dark to tell us this because he's worried about our safety!"

"Haha... If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have been interested in going. But now that he said that, I really want to go and see what this so-called Undead Lake is all about!"

"Now that you mention it, I feel itchy too!" Yan Bei also laughed.

Feng Xian didn't seem to have any interest in these things.

She drew open the curtain and went back to her tent to sleep.

On his way back to his camp, Bayao also left a mark as soon as possible.

Tell Zhu Mingyuan that everything is going according to plan.

The next morning, the sound of Zhao Cang and his men moving camp could be heard from afar.

Gu Ling had no interest in chasing them and was still lying on the bed sleeping.

It was not until Yan Bei came to call him and said that Zhao Cang and the others had set out for almost half an hour.

Gu Ling then got up reluctantly.

Anyway, even if they set out earlier, based on his understanding of Zhao Cang, they would definitely stop at the Bushi Lake.

After a good night's sleep, Gu Ling no longer had any impulse towards the so-called "Lake of No Corpses".

He is not here for adventure or tourism.

But while solving the problem, we must find the purple cicada.

Now, it is still about three days' journey to the main peak, and it is impossible for the Purple Spirit Cicada to appear in such a place.

It is even more impossible to appear in the Lake of the Undead, which is obviously not worthy of its elegant name.

After a simple breakfast, the group headed in the designated direction.

As Gu Ling predicted, Zhao Cang did stop at the Lake of No Corpses.

Moreover, he has already led the team down to the Lake of the Undead.

Bayao and several remaining team members stayed at the intersection.

When he saw Gu Ling and the others, he immediately stood up excitedly.

It's not a lake, and it doesn't look like a lake.

Because there is no water at all.

Moreover, there was a thick layer of fog on the lake.

Standing in Bayao's position, you can't see what's inside at all.

Yan Bei pointed in the direction of the clouds and mist, "Captain Ba, is this the Lake of the Undead?"

Bayao nodded.

"Commander Zhao and the others... went down?" Yan Bei asked again.

Ba Yao nodded helplessly, "I can't stop it!"

Bayao seemed a little excited.

He stood up, looked at the Lake of No Corpses, pointed with his finger, and sighed helplessly.

"No one blames you. Zhao Cang wanted to go down, so how could you stop him?"

Yan Bei patted Ba Yao's shoulder to comfort him.

Gu Ling looked at Feng Xian's puzzled eyes and asked in a low voice: "Did you feel it too?"

Feng Xian shook her head, "It smells so bad here!"

Gu Ling took a deep breath and indeed there was a smell.

However, most people cannot smell this smell.

It seems that there must be many stories hidden at the bottom of this corpse lake.

Gu Ling and Feng Xian looked at each other.

Feng Xian immediately shook her head, "You go if you want to go, I won't go, it stinks!"

Gu Ling was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Feng Xian had mysophobia!

Gu Ling looked at Yan Bei again and gestured to Bushi Lake.

Yan Bei looked at the troubled Ba Yao and said, "Why don't we wait here? After all..."

Bayao immediately said, "Yes, let's not go down there, this place is very weird!"

Gu Ling had no interest in going to such a ghost place.

Since Zhao Cang has gone down, if there is really something special, there will naturally be some signal.

Although, he and Zhao Cang had nothing in common.

However, when it comes to solving the problem of the strange beast at Kangtong Peak, the goal is the same.

"Alright! Then let's rest here and wait for Commander Zhao's victory report!"

Everyone sat on the ground.

In the distance, Zhu Mingyuan saw Gu Ling and the others stopped by the roadside and was very surprised.

He couldn't help but curse, "You are really good at making trouble instead of doing anything good. You can't even handle such a small matter!"

Then he said to the skinny man beside him: "Yu Yan, go make some noise!"

The skinny man Yu Yan immediately said with a sly smile: "Understood!"

Yu Yan took two people and immediately ran towards the Undead Lake from the other end.
