I frowned as I sat in the cabin. I was extremely depressed in my heart, originally thinking that after Ji Xiang woke up, I could lead the way and find the old man.

Ji Xiang's entire being was filled with shock and she had already broken down and gone insane. I can't imagine what kind of experience was required to scare a living person to such an extent.

Could it be the ghost she spoke of?

Could it be that there really is a ghost in Wild Mountain?

This is impossible, how can there be ghosts in this world? This doesn't conform with common sense at all, but Ji Xiang's situation made me unable to explain. If even she had turned out like this, the old man would probably be even more dangerous!

She began to fear him, but after smelling the hot soup, she timidly accepted it in the end. After drinking three bowls in a row, it was obvious that she was very hungry, and after eating her fill, she just curled up in a corner, hugging her knees. She had a blank look in her eyes, and looked pitiful!

However, she was still extremely nervous. With just the slightest movement, she would immediately curl up into a ball, just like a kitten.

Hai Yang sighed: "She's very sick, she must have suffered from an unimaginable shock, if not she would have turned into this, we might not even be able to survive if we were two days late. Sanjin, she can't continue to move ahead with us, we need to immediately go to the hospital!"

Ji Xiang's body is very weak, and she can't advance with us at all. The only way is to return back to Sister and let her receive treatment. If she can recover her spirit, she can tell us what happened, which would be of great help to us when we look for the Old Master!

I hesitated for a moment before slowly saying: "How about this, Hai Yang, let's go out and scout and make a mark, this way it'll be more convenient for us to come back next time. Hu Guangzu, you will be in charge of taking care of Ji Xiang on the boat, we will be back in two hours, then we can think of a way to get the boat out and report back to Big Sister."

The ocean had no objections, but Hu Guangzu still said unhappily: "Why are you still going out? It's so dangerous for me to stay with that crazy woman, so I think we should just directly go back and report it to elder sister. There won't be anything to look forward to outside."

Weakness, cowardice, selfishness were all reflected in him, I completely ignored him, used a dagger as a form of defense, and climbed up to the top of the cabin to hide inside the hole.

Hai Shui stared at Hu Guangzu a few times to warn him, before she quickly followed along.

There were many caves above the Mouse Cave, and there was a very narrow cave within the curved cave. After climbing for a few minutes with much difficulty, I could see a light emitting from the cave.

Directly in front of us is a lush and verdant mountain range of primitive forests. It seems to have an eternal and ancient aura that makes people feel intimidated upon seeing it. There is an indescribable mysteriousness hidden within that aura, making one unable to understand what it means to enter!

Under the vast sky, the endless primeval forest would always meet at the very end of one's vision, showing a truly vast and desolate scene!

The mountain range was covered in layers of rain and mist. There were no sounds of birds, just like a ghost forest. It was more like a gigantic beast crawling on the ground, causing people to feel a chill in their hearts.

We were standing on a huge, broken, bald rock at the edge of the mountain range. The rock was as big as a mountain, and we could see down into a winding valley.

This place is indeed the border region of the Wild Mountain. Compared to the majestic Wild Mountain that we stand on top of, it is like a small star facing the vast universe!

Looking at such a majestic and spectacular sight before me, my depressed mood instantly dissipated by quite a bit. I really wanted to look up at the sky and roar, only to see that in the depths of the dense fog, there was a forest as deep as the sea.

He turned around and looked down the valley. Suddenly, his pupils contracted as he saw a boat resting on the bank of the valley. It was barely discernible in the fog and he could see the Burmese characters written in red paint on the keel of the boat.

I was immediately overjoyed. I pulled Hai Yang along and said, "Quickly, look! Is that a Burmese ship?"

Hai Shui looked back and gasped, exclaiming: "Holy shit, it didn't take much effort to get here Sanjin, that boat is the one I was tracking the British people on, I remember it clearly!"

We were both very happy, we did not expect to see the British ship as soon as we came out of the cave, no wonder Ji Xiang appeared nearby, maybe the Old Master was nearby too, we did not dare delay, and rushed over to the river bank and stopped the boat.

When I reached the front of the boat, I stopped, frowning, and a sense of foreboding crept over me, for the whole ship was so silent that I could not see anyone on the board.

Impossible, even if the British bring the old man back to Wild Mountain, they will definitely keep people on board to guard the ship, why would they abandon the boat here?

I couldn't figure out what it meant, but Hai Yang couldn't be bothered to think about it. She just said that if there was something she couldn't understand, she would just board the ship and see.

When we pulled the rope ladder up onto the deck, it was dead silent. There was no one there at all, just a stack of inflatable kayaks and a few diesel generators with a lot of bird poop on them, but they were all dry.

We looked at each other and went back into the cabin. It was very messy, with sleeping bags and bedding all over the place, and a big table in the middle filled with food. There were British steaks and Sichuan food from the south of China, but the weird thing was that they were all placed on the table, not finished at all.

It made me feel as if something had happened while I was eating, causing everyone to stop!

I went first to the cockpit, which was empty, and then to the storeroom, where I found it filled with equipment, food, and fresh water from a field expedition. I even saw several hunting rifles in the corner, but no one was there!

Back in the cabin, the sea and I did not look good. He searched around the area, but there was no one, not even a corpse, not a single trace of blood.

The situation suddenly turned strange. What had happened to cause them to all get off the boat and leave without taking a lot of equipment?

Is there any danger on the ship?

But I didn't see anything?

I felt that it was weird, so I asked Hai Yang to look around to see if I could find any useful clues. After that, I returned to the storage room and started to search through my bag for any other information regarding Wild Mountain.

I found a lot of things in the British backpacks: laptops, game consoles, metal detectors, guns, bullets, sabers, Bibles, and even a man's clothing magazine.

It could be seen that the British had prepared a lot of things. Food and water alone could stay on the mountain for at least more than a month, the sea had been a soldier, and was very familiar with firearms.

We searched through the Englishman's backpack one by one and finally found a map of Wild Mountain, marked with many red dots. I frowned and looked at it, it was written in English, I couldn't understand it at all, I also looked at a lot of hand-drawn diagrams, on which many people were drawing guns as they moved through the jungle, and in the crowd, they were even carrying a rectangular object.

The drawing was very simple, but I could immediately tell that this was the Sakyamuni Army. They had carried a mysterious Sarcophagus into the Wild Mountain!

I opened another drawing, thinking it might be about the British Maine Army or the Expeditionary Force, but to my surprise, it was only a sketch of a person, and to my surprise, the sketch belonged to an ancient Chinese dress, like an official's robe!

Hai Yang moved closer to me and suddenly said, "Aiyo, that's not right. This is f * cking Imperial Guard!"

Hai Yang explained, "When I was in the army, I was in the same dorm as people from the same dorm as me. This movie called Imperial Guard, look carefully, this is a Flying Fish clothing, only the people from the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Guard know how to wear Flying Fish clothing!"

I thought to myself, could it be that foreigners like Imperial Guard, so they have the leisure to draw sketches of Imperial Guard?

One of them was a large ship sailing on the water, and the deck was filled with dense Imperial Guard. I started to feel that something was wrong, could it be that these drawings were related to Wild Mountain?

The sea said I was worried about the pickled radish, whatever the fuck I was drawing, I didn't have time to study abstract stuff right now.

I could only place all of these blueprints in my backpack and think about it slowly later. I opened up a backpack which was filled with feminine items. Just as I was about to shift my gaze away, I saw a painting book showing jade under my underwear.

I opened the picture book and saw several photos mixed in. The background was probably a jade mine. At first glance, I saw that the old man was in the picture.

His hair was all white and he was wearing a Chinese tunic, which was out of place compared to the person in the photo. And the person standing beside the old man was a tall and slender looking woman, it was actually Ji Xiang!

I was stunned at first, but then I understood, this should be a big picture of them at Myanmar's jade mine, from the photo they should be very happy, and there are even a lot of foreigners on it, why did the situation suddenly change to Wild Mountain?

Without waiting for me to understand, Hai Yang snatched the photo and scolded, "You're so f * cking dishonest. I'll help you slap your eyes when you peek at a woman's things!"

With that, he brought the photo closer to him. He first looked at it lustfully, then his pupils suddenly changed as he exclaimed: "Damn it, Sanjin, look at this, am I seeing things, is this f * cking Hu Guangzu?"

I said how could Hu Guangzu be in the photo, so I snatched the photo and looked at the person who pointed at him, I was shocked, only to see a skinny and short figure standing in the corner, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were extremely gloomy, it really was Hu Guangzu!

Why was he in the picture?

Wasn't he an honest worker going to Burma to buy a wife?

When did he get into a group photo of Zhenyuan Corporation again?

The Hu Guangzu in the photo looked smart and capable, but the Hu Guangzu I met was actually a simple and honest cowardly person. No matter how I looked at it, the two of them didn't look like the same person, but they looked the same!

"What the f * ck!"

In that instant, my whole body shivered, I pulled the ocean and ran, while shouting: "Quickly go back, Hu Guangzu lied to us, Ji Xiang is in danger!"
