Because the miasma obscured his vision, he only vaguely saw a human figure.

Comes and goes like the wind without a shadow, and is not afraid of miasma, this thing is probably not a living person, it is very likely to be some kind of hairy zombie, that is, a hairy zombie.

In order to prevent this from happening again, Ji Changsheng was the last one to take charge of the rear.

I don't know if Ji Changsheng's Ghost Emperor's aura acted as a deterrent, or for other reasons, but that thing never appeared again.

After walking for another hour, everyone finally walked out of the miasma belt safely.

After the miasma was gone, their eyes suddenly became clear, and they had come to the depths of the Worm Valley.

Looking around, the vegetation here is more lush, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard in the distance.

In the insect valley, there are dense rivers, small rivers and creeks everywhere, and the flora and fauna are very rich.

After people took off their protective clothing, they took a breath of fresh air, which made them feel a lot easier.

The fat man hurriedly told what happened just now, and everyone was shocked.

After thinking about it, Hu Bayi said.

"Maybe it's not zongzi, but some kind of mandrill. In ancient times, this thing was often regarded as a man-eating mountain ghost. In some places, temples for the king of mandrills were even built."

The mandrill is a species of baboon and the largest monkey, a creature of great strength and cruelty.

Shirley Yang said no.

"Mandrills are also animals, and they are also afraid of miasma. Besides, they come and go in groups. I think they may really be zongzi."

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help laughing.

"Chief of Staff Yang, you have started to believe this, aren't you a Christian? Will the old man be angry with you if he finds out?"

Shirley Yang smiled lightly and said.

"It's not anymore. If there is a God, I would have found my father a long time ago."

Her father was an archaeologist. In order to help their mother and daughter lift the curse, she came to China many years ago to look for Muchen Bead, and finally disappeared.

Shirley Yang has been an orphan since she was a child, and she prays to God every day, hoping to find her father.

But as she got older, after waiting for so many years but still no news, she also knew that her father was probably dead.

When she came to Huaxia in person and embarked on a journey to find Muchen Bead, what she saw and heard had already overturned her cognition and belief.

At this moment, Hu Bayi spoke.

"Don't worry, we will definitely find your father. If you want to live, you need to see the person, and if you die, you need to see the corpse."

After hearing her experience, the fat man also forgot what happened to him just now, and said that he would help Shirley Yang find her father.

After thinking for a while, Er Yuehong said.

"Miss Yang, your father came to China 20 years ago, right?"

"I seem to remember a professor from the American country surnamed Yang, who persuaded him many times at that time. He insisted on going into the mountain, and finally..."

He didn't say what happened next, but people can guess what the result was.

Xueli Yang couldn't help being shocked, and tears welled up in a pair of beautiful big eyes.

"Second Master, have you really met my father? He actually came to Chonggu Valley!"

Er Yuehong couldn't help but let out a long sigh, nodded with shame on her face, and said.

"At this time, I will not hide from you."

"Actually, the first time I saw you, I knew you were his daughter. I really couldn't bear to tell you what happened back then."

Xue Liyang held back her grief and hurriedly asked.

"Then what happened to my father?"

In fact, she had already guessed the result, her father probably died in the worm valley, but she still had the last sliver of luck.

Er Yuehong shook her head slightly, and said slowly.

"Twenty years ago, I accompanied your father into the Valley of Insects to find Muchen Bead. As a result... I was the only one who came back alive."

When he said this, tears and guilt flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 384 The Dangerous Mountain Temple

Er Yuehong sighed softly, and talked about the past with a face full of guilt.

20 years ago, Shirley Yang's father, Professor Yang, led an expedition team to the foot of Zhelong Mountain, hoping to enter the Worm Valley in the name of archaeology.

In order to protect Muchen Bead's secret, Er Yuehong tried her best to stop them. In this place far away from the emperor, as a respected local elder, it was impossible for outsiders to enter the Insect Valley without his permission.

In desperation, Professor Yang found Er Yuehong and begged, and revealed his real purpose.

It turns out that Professor Yang was originally a business tycoon on Wall Street in the United States. Later, he fell in love with Shirley Yang's mother and gave birth to a daughter.

After learning of the ghost hole curse inherited from his wife's family, in order to save the two most important women in his life, he resolutely gave up his career, immersed himself in the study of ancient Chinese history, and became a professor of archeology.

After searching a large number of ancient books and materials, after years of research, Professor Yang judged that the Muchen Bead is most likely hidden in the tomb of King Xian in Yunnan.

So he formed an expedition team and came to Yunnan to search for the tomb of King Xian, with the sole purpose of finding Muchen Bead and saving his wife and daughter.

After listening to this narration, Er Yuehong was moved by Professor Yang's sincere heart. He is also a person who values ​​love and righteousness. What happened to Shirley Yang's mother and daughter reminded him of the dead girl.

In addition, Professor Yang is not a bad guy with ulterior motives, but an upright man.

So Er Yuehong made a decision to personally lead a team into the Valley of Insects to look for Muchen Beads!

Under his leadership, a group of people crossed mountains and ridges, and entered the hinterland of Zhelong Mountain - Insect Valley.

In order to avoid accidents, they bypassed the husband and wife tree far away, and walked for five days in the dense forest to reach the insect valley.

The process in the middle was without any danger. After arriving at the worm valley, the first problem they faced was how to pass through the miasma zone.

Although the expedition team had made preparations and carried gas masks and other items, it was surprising that these protective measures were relatively simple and could not effectively resist the miasma.

After losing a team member, they planned to go back and prepare before coming back.

But at this moment, the weather suddenly changed, and a gust of wind blew up in the valley, accompanied by thunderstorms, which actually blew away all the miasma!

Amid the thunder and lightning, they didn't have time to think, and immediately ran into the miasma zone.

I thought it was a good opportunity, but I didn't expect that when they ran halfway, the storm suddenly stopped, the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, the weather became clear, and the miasma gathered again.

At this time, the expedition team was already deep in the miasma zone.

Soon the miasma surrounded everyone, unable to advance or retreat.

In desperation, they didn't have time to think about it, so they could only bury their heads and run in the direction they had come and go, hoping to rush out of the miasma zone.

Only Er Yuehong and Professor Yang were the only ones who escaped from the miasma, and the rest of the team members died under the miasma!

When the two came back to their senses, they found that they ran in the wrong direction. Instead of rushing out of the miasma belt, they entered the deepest part.

Professor Yang said that this is God's will. If so, it is better to find the tomb of King Xian first.

So the two moved on, and it didn't take long to find a dilapidated mountain temple.

Exactly as Hu Bayi predicted, there is indeed a stone sculpture of toad in the mountain temple, which is the road sign pointing to the tomb of King Xian!

After Professor Yang discovered this important clue, he was overjoyed, thinking that Muchen Bead was just around the corner.

Because he was dazzled by the sudden joy, he was negligent and triggered the deadly mechanism!

Having said that, Er Yuehong bowed her head guiltily, with tears in her eyes.

"I was less than three feet away from him at the time, but I couldn't rescue him. It was the old man's fault."

Even after more than 2000 years, the mechanism is still extremely dangerous.

Rain of arrows shot out from all directions like a violent storm, and a puff of poisonous smoke quickly filled the surroundings.

Professor Yang was hit by dozens of arrows and inhaled poisonous smoke. Even a god descending from the earth could not save him.

Even though Er Yuehong's martial arts are world-class, but when the incident happened suddenly, he could barely protect himself, unable to rescue Professor Yang, and escaped alone.

Later, he wandered in the worm valley for more than a month, and returned safely until the miasma was blown away by the violent wind and rain.

After experiencing this incident, due to deep self-blame, Er Yuehong vowed not to enter the Worm Valley again, and would not allow anyone to enter.

It was not until the appearance of Ji Changsheng that he broke the oath he had made.

After listening to Er Yuehong's narration, Shirley Yang couldn't help trembling slightly even though she had already been mentally prepared, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi quickly comforted him.

"Second Master just said that your father has been recruited by the agency, and he will definitely..."

"Perhaps Uncle Taji has his own destiny, so maybe he's still alive."

In fact, he didn't even believe it himself.

Professor Yang is just an ordinary person. He will never survive after suffering such serious injuries and smoking poisonous smoke.

Even if he survived, the worm valley is full of dangers. It is impossible for a seriously injured person to survive for 20 years alone in this kind of place.

Fortunately, Shirley Yang was braver than people imagined. She lost her parents since she was a child, and grew up alone. She developed a strong and independent character, and quickly cheered up.

"Live to see people, die to see corpses."

Just eight words showed her determination.

After learning of her father's whereabouts, nothing can stop her from moving forward now!

Er Yuehong looked at Xueli Yang with a complicated expression, and after a moment of silence, she nodded heavily.

"Son, I'll go with you."

20 years ago, he watched Professor Yang die in the mountain temple. Today, Professor Yang's daughter came here again, as if it was a reincarnation of fate.

Er Yuehong secretly made up her mind that this time the tragedy must not be allowed to happen again.

After Ji Changsheng comforted Shirley Yang, he asked directly.

"Second Master, do you still remember the location of the mountain temple?"

Er Yuehong nodded, and stretched out her fingers to the distance.

"It's just ahead, and we'll be there in an hour's walk."
