Chapter 587: Trapped
ngyu didn’t know that sotis, things in this world can be quite coincidental.
Captain Ma brought one hundred people to the outskirts of dicine Valley, which wasn’t particularly dangerous because the large animals there had already been hunted by Gu Dongxing.
However, they didn’t find any treasures.
The barefoot doctors they specifically brought along did find so dicinal herbs, but they were no different from those found elsewhere; they were just a bit older.
These kinds of dicinal herbs could also be found in other places.
This resulted in great disappointnt for Captain Ma and his team. They also found it very odd: why would Student Jiang offer one hundred yuan per mu to lease this kind of valley?
Captain Ma waved his hand: "Alright, that’s enough, let’s head back."
But before the echo of his words faded, soone cried out, tripped, and fell into a crevice.
Captain Ma rushed over: "Zhang Jiu, how are you?"
He had to bring back everyone he took out, safe and sound.
"I’m fine, just twisted my foot a bit."
"Give your hand quickly, I’ll pull you up."
By the ti Zhang Jiu was pulled up by everyone, he found that the smooth stone he had grabbed was actually the size of two mahjong tiles put together.
But the stone was also quite beautiful, could it be jade?
While he was still looking down at the stone, soone shouted: "Look quickly, there’s a path over there."
Everyone looked in the direction pointed out, only to see a pathway leading to an unknown destination.
The crowd looked at each other in disbelief: previously, that spot was covered in thistles!
Everyone turned to look at Captain Ma: should they go and explore?
Captain Ma looked up at the sky. The sun was still far from setting, it was probably around four in the afternoon.
At this ti of year, it would get dark around six-thirty, leaving about an hour and a half to walk. They could afford to stay on the mountain for about an hour.
He quickly made a decision: "Let’s go, take a look!"
Walking along the path, everyone was montarily disoriented and felt like everything around them changed.
When they looked back, the path they had co in through had already disappeared.
Captain Ma imdiately understood: this was the real Ghost Valley.
He then rembered the legend of Ghost Valley: A one-way journey with no return!
His heart pounded as he looked around, but the others had already noticed sothing was wrong:
"Captain Ma, there’s no path ahead."
"Captain Ma, the path behind us has disappeared."
"What place is this, Captain Ma?"
"This is so strange, Captain Ma, could this really be Ghost Valley?"
"Is this the Ghost Valley where no one returns? Does that an we can’t go back?"
"What should we do, Captain Ma?"
"Captain Ma..."
Captain Ma was also in a panic, cursing inwardly: how could he have believed Secretary Quan’s words, believing that if soone ca to lease Ghost Valley, it ant the dangers of Ghost Valley were gone?
And on closer reflection of the entire argunt with the secretary, he realized that he had been duped by Secretary Quan.
The secretary had only suspected that the dangerous elents of Ghost Valley had vanished and wanted him to explore it. His earlier insistence that he should lead the team himself probably guessed that he would volunteer for the exploration.
He should have known from the start; if there was any danger, Secretary Quan would never be the one to face it.
Nevertheless, Captain Ma was not soone to just wait for death when faced with trouble. He looked around and said: "Everyone, don’t panic, let’s start by searching for a way out."
