This matter really cannot be delayed any further. If it can be resolved quickly, it will be a good thing for them.

So soon Zhang Qihai, Qi Tiezui and others came to the old man.

The person who just came over to call them looked very excited. They didn't know what had happened, so they were more or less surprised at this moment, so they hurriedly asked.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

After hearing this, the chieftain began to explain seriously.

"Grandpa said he seems to have a better way to go. This road is too dangerous. If there are other ways, we can consider it."

After hearing this, the two men's faces turned serious. They should indeed discuss this matter carefully. If there were other safer ways to take, they would naturally not choose such a dangerous way.

So at this moment they immediately turned around, looked at the old man, and asked with some anticipation.

"Really? Is there another way?"

The old man naturally nodded immediately, and then looked around carefully.

Although he had not been to such a place for a long time, he still remembered some of his previous memories clearly.

Then, as if he saw something, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand, pointed in that direction, and spoke.

"There's a path over there, have you ever walked on it?"

When everyone heard this, they naturally shook their heads immediately.

Before that, I did get here through this reed marsh, but I don't know how to get to that path.

Then the old man began to explain.

"We came here through that path. Although there may be some dangers on that path, it is much better than this side. If you are willing, I can take you there."

Everyone thought about it carefully for a while and felt that this method was indeed good. They could give it a try in the past. If it could really be safer, then they would definitely choose the safer method.

After all, there are still women, the elderly and children in their current team.

No matter what, they have to think carefully about their feelings.

Their physical strength is not very good and their physical fitness is not high. Under such circumstances, they naturally have to consider their actual situation from many aspects.

"Of course no problem, then go over now."

After Zhang Qihai said this, the others nodded without hesitation.

Naturally, the old man was very happy to hear this, and he was very excited that he could play a key role at this most critical moment.

"Okay, I'll leave now."

Then he led the way in front, and everyone followed him closely, hoping to get there quickly.

It wasn't long before they finally saw that there was indeed a very small path in front of them, but they seemed to have to climb a small hill.

"When you were walking this path, did you encounter any problems that you could share with us? This way, we can be mentally prepared before this."

As they walked, Qi Tiezui spoke these words.

After hearing this, the old man began to think seriously and then shook his head.

"It shouldn't be dangerous, because this path is very narrow. We can only go through it vertically. There is also a relatively small cave not far away. Don't go through it. Although the environment is a bit dark and damp, there are no traps."

After hearing this, everyone had a general understanding of it, so they nodded and said.

"Okay, that's no problem."

But no matter what, facing this unfamiliar environment, everyone will definitely stay alert and will not take it lightly, because they know in their hearts how important this matter is.

Everyone looked very serious and followed closely behind the person in front of them. Not only that, they did not remove the rope that had just been tied. It was indeed a good thing for them to tie it up again.

If something really happened, they would be able to quickly detect it with the help of the rope.

Not long after, they finally arrived at the cave that the old man had mentioned.

Chapter 695 Mental Preparation

But they do need to confirm some things before going in.

Zhang Qihai's expression suddenly became serious. He turned around and looked at the old man, and asked in a serious and solemn tone.

"Did you encounter any danger when you walked this road before? If so, you must tell us in advance so that we can think of some countermeasures in advance."

After hearing this, the old man's face naturally became serious. How could he not know how important this matter was?

So at this moment he also began to recall seriously.

"Let me think about it. If I know anything, I'll tell you."

There is indeed no doubt about this.

After all, no matter what, the old grandfather has been with them for such a long time, how could they not know what kind of person the old grandfather is?

Under such an important situation, the old man would definitely tell everyone everything he knew and would not waste any more time.

Especially at times like this, the old man should know what he should do.

After a while, he began to explain to everyone seriously.

"It's true that there is no danger when we first go in, but there may be some insects and snakes in the middle. Everyone must be careful and never provoke them, because they may have some toxins."

After hearing this sentence, everyone has a general understanding of it.

If you want to repel insects, you do need something.

Qi Tiezui also began to search around carefully.

Naturally, he didn't want to make any mistakes in this matter, so under such circumstances, he would definitely be more cautious.

The people nearby also remembered all these words clearly in their minds.

Zhang Qihai immediately raised his voice slightly and spoke to everyone.

"Everyone should be careful. Don't take the initiative to provoke those things, because they are poisonous. Do you know?"

How could everyone not know what they should do after hearing this?

So at this moment they naturally nodded repeatedly, looking very serious.

"Okay, we get it."

Seeing that they all agreed, I really had nothing to worry about.

Then Zhang Qihai looked at the children and spoke to everyone again.

"And there are some children in our team. You know that children are very curious, so I hope our parents can tell their children the importance of this matter and let them know what mistakes they can make at this time."

When the parents heard these words, they naturally understood what they should do.

So they all nodded, and then began to explain seriously to their children.

However, Zhang Qihai was indeed very relieved about these children, because he had spent some time with them and knew what kind of children they were.

Although some of these children are very young, they are very sensible and obedient. They will not do anything excessive now and will definitely listen to them obediently.

Just as the old man was about to continue speaking, Qi Tiezui on the side seemed to have seen something and spoke to everyone excitedly.

"Everyone, hurry up and pick this grass and apply its juice on your body. The juice of this grass has the effect of repelling insects and should be able to play a role."

After he said this, he raised his hand and pointed to the grass on the ground around them.

After hearing this, everyone naturally started to do all this seriously.

Zhang Qihai had never expected that Qi Tiezui could actually come up with a solution under such circumstances, so he was very happy about it.

"You are so amazing. You can find such a solution under such circumstances."

When Qi Tiezui heard this, he just smiled lightly.

"Nothing, nothing, it's just a coincidence, there just happened to be grass like this growing around here, otherwise I wouldn't have found it."

After everyone had smeared some of their clothes, the old man continued to speak.

"Not only that, you may encounter some strange phenomena in there, and some strange things may appear inexplicably. I don't know how to explain it."

After hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the old man, wondering what he meant.

Zhang Qihai really didn’t understand what he just said.

So at this moment he also frowned slightly and began to ask seriously.

"What weird thing, what strange thing?"

Seeing how serious he looked, the old man tried his best to describe it in his own words.

"Well, I can't really explain it. For example, when we were in this cave, it was very dark, and we kept hearing some strange noises, as if there were people in there. Not only that, we also saw many strange human bones in there."

Everyone couldn't help but gasp after hearing this. They had never expected that there would be such a thing in here.

Perhaps he noticed that everyone's expressions seemed a little strange, so the old man spoke again.

"But there's really no danger. It just makes people feel a little scared."

Because they have been there, he can understand it all.

After hearing his next words, Zhang Qihai didn't have anything to worry about.

In fact, as long as nothing dangerous happens, it's already pretty good. Unlike the reed marsh, where all kinds of problems may occur.

So at this moment he nodded gently and said.

"Okay, okay, that's fine. Any other questions?"

The old man nodded immediately and said.

"When you get to the back part, there may be a very small river, but it's probably only up to your ankles, so don't panic too much. There's nothing else to worry about."

After hearing what was said, everyone finally understood what was going on, and they all nodded and spoke.

"Okay, okay, let's go now."

Chapter 696 More and More

Since they already have a general understanding of the place, there is naturally nothing to be afraid of now. There is no way to waste any time, so they naturally have to leave here quickly.

Everyone knows the importance of this matter, so they have to complete it quickly no matter what.
