Li Tie and Li Gang looked at the shapeless, unrecognizable snake corpse on the ground.
They were a bit speechless.
This was a white snake, and it looked quite strange.
Big Brother is truly amazing; he fears nothing.
"Hurry up and go inside to check. If there's nothing here, we'll quickly leave and find another place." Li Yu was in a somewhat bad mood. All along the way, especially when walking inside the Sinkhole, he occasionally saw 'was here' written by some people.
There were also some people who wrote things like: "XXX and XXX checked in here in XXXX." Li Yu felt like hitting someone when he saw that.
The three of them walked a bit further.
They passed a small pool of water, from which some cool air emanated. Stalactites formed from the dripping rocks above.
Li Yu and the others were not in the mood to admire these; they quickened their pace and walked deeper into the cave entrance.
After walking for nearly 10 minutes, Li Yu was starting to wonder, "Is this cave really that big?"
After another two minutes of walking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and Li Yu's heart swelled with joy.
In a few steps, he reached the end of this cave entrance. He hadn't expected this cave to have a hidden paradise.
The surrounding environment instantly became vast, and the searchlight couldn't even find its end.
Looking at this, it seems this place is truly different!
As Li Yu thought this, Tie Zi and Gang Zi, who came out behind him, were also a bit excited.
This kind of exploration was quite thrilling, especially when searching, encountering something that felt like a fortuitous encounter, and unexpectedly finding a hidden paradise.
The three of them explored the surroundings with anticipation.
However,
As they walked a few steps and observed their surroundings, they had a sense of déjà vu.
Suddenly, Li Yu stopped in one spot.
Seeing Li Yu standing there looking ahead, Li Tie and Li Gang also stepped forward. The three of them looked at the cave entrance before them, not saying a word.
Finally, Li Gang said with suspicion, "Is this cave the one we just entered?"
Li Tie said, "It seems so."
Li Yu: "."
Damn it, no wonder this cave felt so long. It turned out they had walked in a circle, going round and round, and damn it, they were back here again.
Li Yu was in a very bad mood and very tired.
He thought of the other few caves they had encountered just now; perhaps it was the same for them.
At this moment, he wanted to leave this sad place immediately, but he was still a bit unwilling. He had come all this way; was he here to play?
An adventure trip?
Unwilling to give up, Li Yu and the other two continued to explore the remaining few caves. As they expected, entering from one cave entrance inevitably led them out through another.
There was even one cave entrance that connected to several other cave entrances.
Half an hour later, Li Yu and the other two, covered in dirt, looked ahead.
The three of them were not in a very good mood.
They had found nothing.
Damn it, there was nothing inside, only some rotten wood and such.
"Let's go. We'll go look around the mountaintop." Li Yu sighed, then walked towards the outermost cave entrance.
Li Tie and Li Gang also looked at the cave entrances with some annoyance.
Da Pao and the others, who had been waiting impatiently outside, saw Li Yu and his group emerge and asked, "Yu Ge, how was it? Any harvest inside?"
Li Yu shook his head and said, "No. Nothing at all. You and Wang Cheng go climb the mountain and take a look, see if there's anything suspicious on the mountain. The three of us will rest for a bit."
Da Pao saw that all three of them were covered in dirt and knew they hadn't had an easy time inside, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Wang Cheng, let's go take a look."
Li Yu and the other two walked out of the mountain's entrance and sat on a large rock at the doorway to rest.
"Big Brother, this mountain doesn't look much like a place where firearms would be hidden," Li Tie said.
"I know, but we've come all this way, so we definitely have to take another look, right? Otherwise, it'd be for nothing? Let's search carefully. This kind of firearm must be hidden very securely," Li Yu lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said.
After resting for a while, the three of them got up and circled the large mountain. The mountain itself wasn't big, but it had a lot of small caves inside.
The group searched for nearly half an hour and found nothing. However, Li Tie found a chestnut tree and directly cut it down.
He picked the fruits from it.
The five of them then returned to the vehicle.
His uncle had been waiting outside for over two hours and finally saw Li Yu and his group walking back, looking a bit disheveled, especially Li Yu and the other two, who were covered in dirt.
Seeing the chestnuts Li Yu and the others were carrying, was this it?
But he didn't ask anything; their appearance already explained everything.
Li Yu still spoke up, "Zhuge Mountain is just a ruin, and one that hasn't been given much importance. There's nothing inside. Let's hurry to that place in the East."
His uncle nodded, didn't ask further, and said, "Okay."
Li Yu handed the chestnuts in his hands to the others. There were quite a lot of chestnuts; Li Yu and the others used their clothes to make five large bundles just to barely carry them.
Li Yu, Li Gang, and Li Tie got into the Unimog. The three of them were covered in various mud and dust from inside the cave. To save time, they had rushed through each cave entrance as quickly as possible. The mud all over them was one thing, but the sweat clinging to their clothes made them uncomfortable.
The vehicle started, and the group didn't stop, continuing to drive East.
They had set out early this morning, arriving here around 10 AM. Li Yu and the other four spent over 2 hours inside.
Outside, his uncle Li Hang and the others had already eaten lunch and rested for over two hours.
However, the five people who went in, especially Li Yu and the other two, hadn't rested much.
In the vehicle, Da Pao and Wang Cheng weren't driving; they were eating in the vehicle and then resting for a while.
In the Unimog, Li Yu, Li Tie, and Li Gang took turns showering in the bathroom. This Unimog also had some clothes stored in it.
They came in handy now. After showering, the three of them ate a simple lunch and took three bottles of iced cola from the car's refrigerator.
"How is there still cola?" Li Tie looked shocked.
Li Yu smiled and said, "There are always some hidden treasures, right?"
The three of them gulped down a big mouthful, letting out a loud burp.
That first sip of cola is the most refreshing.
The three of them had just gone from feeling sticky and famished to now being full and satisfied, even able to drink a can of cola.
Add another cigarette, and they felt like immortals.
Li Yu and the other two took turns driving and resting.
The Eastern Yin Mountain was about a 4-hour drive away. If the journey went smoothly, they would probably arrive before 5 PM.
However, they definitely couldn't search Silver Mountain today; they would have to wait until tomorrow morning to check it out.
But they had to find a shelter around Silver Mountain today.
It was not suitable to be outside at night.
