What happened that year was like a layer of fog, making people unable to see the truth behind it.

No matter how Shi Lei thought about it, he felt that the matter was not as simple as the owner of the car shop said. It was very possible that the entire Nine Links Mountain was a huge trap!

Thinking about it, Shi Lei started sweating profusely, and a thought came to him, catching him off guard.

"What happened to you?"

Hua Rou looked at Shi Lei, whose eyes were gradually glazed over until his entire body was shivering. He thought that something was amiss, hence he hurriedly asked.

"Nothing much. I just thought of something."

Shi Lei shook his head, trying his best to forget about this idea.

Nobody said what the truth was. Even if they were just guessing, there was no need to worry.

Shi Lei tried forcing out a smile, and said with a smile: "It's fine."

"Forget about it. It's best that you don't laugh. The more you smile like that, the more terrifying I feel."

Hua Rou said without any trace of politeness.

After leaving this place, the two of them stepped onto the road back.

Shi Lei didn't see anyone else on the way back. No one knew what kind of method that young man used to pass the previous exams.

When he arrived at the place where he slept at night, there was nothing left. If not for the appearance of this place in his memory, Shi Lei probably wouldn't have known that a house that had the style of the Han Dynasty had appeared here.

After walking for a very long time, they finally arrived at the Stone Door's side.

It was not as strict as it was when they entered. As long as they could turn the huge switch of the Stone Door on the other side, the Stone Door would turn it on.

When Shi Lei walked out, everyone's gaze turned to look at them.

"You guys came out too."

Other than Huang Wenqing who left, there seemed to be no lack of people. The remaining people were still this many.

Shi Lei laughed, "There's nothing inside, there's no point staying. I'll just come back."

Everyone began to nod their heads as they discussed amongst themselves.

"Yeah, us too."

"I can't even walk inside. What kind of perverted challenge is this? I tried a dozen times but still failed."

"That's right."

While everyone was talking, Shi Lei saw the young man standing in the corner.

The latter seemed to have felt Shi Lei's gaze and raised her head, smiling at him.

"Forget it. In my opinion, this is just a scam. It might be the trap that led us people to this place to facilitate their disappearance."

"Yeah, yeah."

People continued to respond.

"Let's go back and see if there's anything fun to play about nearby. We can't just go back empty-handed, right?"

After deciding to return, no one bothered to pay attention to Shi Lei, as if Shi Lei was just a tool for them.

The warmth and coolness of the world was vividly reflected at this moment.

The young man was the last to leave. The moment before he left, he pointed at it with his index finger, then walked out with an unfathomable smile on his face.

Hua Rou and Shi Lei looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

After everyone had left, Shi Lei took out the blueprint again, planning to take a good look at the things on it.

In the entire Nine Links Mountain, there were many small mountains. However, because the mountain Shi Lei was on was the largest one, he directly cited the name of the mountain.

In fact, on every mountain, the treasure map was marked with a mark, and within the box was an empty cross.

Shi Lei didn't understand, and turned to look at Hua Rou. The latter was also confused.

The two of them continued to read. Other than these markings, the《 Acupuncture Jia Yi Classic s》 that the two of them wanted to obtain this time was also included.

However, it was not at the foot of Nine Links Mountain, but at the top of the mountain.

The Nine Links Mountain was over four thousand meters tall. Although it was not very high, it was still a little difficult for Shi Lei and the other two people who had no experience in mountain climbing.

Only by walking to the top of the mountain would one have a chance to obtain the《 Acupuncture Jia Yi Classic s》, not to mention the various rare treasures and strange beasts that would appear along the way. There were even many dangers.

"Still going?"

This time, it was Shi Lei who looked at Hua Rou.

She still remembered that on the train, the two of them had a similar problem, so Hua Rou decisively chose to continue, and this time, Hua Rou even more so did not hesitate as she nodded and said, "Go!"

Facing Hua Rou's decisiveness, Shi Lei was not surprised, but instead laughed out loud, and said: "Alright, alright, alright, let's go take a look!"

Nobody knew what they would encounter in a four thousand meter high mountain. It was fine to bring more dry food, but all that was left were some normal supplementary tools. As for the rest, the two of them had no experience, so they naturally didn't know what was good for them.

Many of the cars that he had seen here had all left, leaving Shi Lei's car at the place where he had parked his car.

After circling around the foot of the mountain, he saw a slightly smoother route.

At the foot of the Nine Links Mountain, there were a lot of trees. From below, one could see that the mountainside was filled with trees.

At this point in time, the appearance of the forest could produce more unknown creatures on the one hand, and could possibly affect the safety of the night journey for two people on the other.

However, this was a matter that he had no choice but to do, so Shi Lei could only grit his teeth and walked forward.

The sun was warm overhead, or at least comfortable.

It was only around ten in the morning. Shi Lei planned to find a suitable place to set up his tent when he reached the mountainside before nightfall.

Nine Links Mountain was truly worthy of being a place where dragon veins gathered. Most of the medicinal herbs that appeared here were things that Shi Lei had never seen before, even in the area of Red Cliff Mountain.

Shi Lei had never known that there would be so many good things here. It was mainly because the Red Cliff Mountain's reputation was higher than here and the environment was slightly better than this. Even Shi Lei had never thought that such a situation would happen.

"Isn't this Heavenly Heart Grass? I thought it was extinct, but I didn't expect it to be visible! "

Hua Rou said excitedly: "Heavenly Heart Grass is a mythical existence in our world. Many of the difficult illnesses can be treated with Heavenly Heart Grass."

Shi Lei looked at the small herb in Hua Rou's hand and laughed.

"Don't pick too much for now. We'll talk about it after we go down the mountain."

Who knew how many dangers lay in front of them? Right now, it would be futile to take it, so he might as well go light and light.

When night fell, Shi Lei finally arrived at the mountainside.
