??695: Chapter 684

695: Chapter 684

After finally soothing the hearts of the won who had been hurt, Song Yun decided not to continue telling ghost stories, as it was already nearing midnight.

He planned to set up the fireworks, so they could be set off right at midnight, 00:00.

Of course, Song Yun wasn’t soone who neglected environntal protection; the fireworks he bought were specially made to be pollution-free.

As for why such fireworks existed, Song Yun himself didn’t know.

Once the fireworks were set off, they were very beautiful, but as beautiful as they were, they would dissipate in the air after falling and wouldn’t cause any fires.

As for why they wouldn’t cause fires, well, let’s not worry about that and just assu the fireworks were made by aliens.

As Song Yun was busy with the fireworks, Li Yueyue followed him at a leisurely pace.

Song Yun wondered if the girl had been so scared by the previous incident that she had devoted her heart to him.

He asked Li Yueyue why she kept following him, but she stubbornly refused to say anything.

Seeing a slight trace of panic in Li Yueyue’s eyes, Song Yun realized the ghost stories had indeed frightened her.

It was unexpected that Li Yueyue, who studied clinical dicine abroad, would be scared by such ethereal things as ghosts.

It seems no one is perfect.

While Song Yun was busy here, over two or three kiloters away at the second peak of Five Girls Peak, Zhou Guang and others had also set up camp at a mountain pass, though they brought two tents.

The clothes of the group were more or less ripped because the second peak wasn’t developed to the extent of the main peak.

Many areas didn’t even have paths, and it was quite an achievent that they managed to arrive here intact after blazing through dense undergrowth.

Next to their tents, Zhou Guang and his group, like Song Yun, had built a stove and were cooking sothing in a pot.

anwhile, Yamamoto Goro was carefully examining the map he held, occasionally lifting his head to look around.

“Mr.

Yamamoto, how much longer until we get there?” Zhou Guang asked curiously.

“Well, from here, it’s about an hour and a half more walk, then we’ll be able to see a cave entrance,” replied Yamamoto Goro as he packed up the map with a smile, “If we follow the water route inside the cave, we should arrive at our destination.

Probably by tomorrow noon, we should be able to retrieve what we’re after.”

“That’s good to hear.

I hope you find what you’re looking for, Mr.

Yamamoto!” Zhou Guang said cheerfully.

“Haha, let’s hope we all find sothing!” Yamamoto Goro looked quite happy.

The food Zhou Guang’s group was eating was similar to what Song Yun had, basically noodle soup.

anwhile, Song Yun was still busy with the fireworks when his phone rang.

Picking it up, he saw a ssage from Xia Tian.

This imdiately invigorated him—it had been a long ti since Xia Tian had contacted him.

Could it be that Xia Tian had co to Sunan?

Heh, in that case, when he returned, wouldn’t he be able to spend so good ti with Xia Tian…

Xia Tian’s ssage was quite simple; it ntioned that the heirs of the Zhou Family, along with a Japanese professor and several others, were currently at the second peak of Five Girls Peak and seed to be looking for sothing very important.

Xia Tian suggested Song Yun drive over if he had the ti, and if he could get hold of it, all the better.

“Five Girls Peak?” Song Yun snapped alert and said to Li Yueyue, “Yueyue, you don’t need to follow ; I’m going up to a higher spot.”

Li Yueyue looked at Song Yun puzzledly but didn’t ask further questions.

Song Yun dashed up quickly, heading straight for a higher spot than the one where their campsite was located.

Despite the distance, Song Yun, who had excellent eyesight, could faintly spot so light from the direction of the second peak.

How could the Zhou family be acting with soone from Japan?

They ca to Sunan without him knowing?

Could it be that there was sothing dangerously worthwhile here that they needed to find?

Could it be a treasure?

Thinking of treasure, Song Yun rembered the piece that looked like a map, which he and War God had found so days ago.

His eyes lit up as he took out the map.

Song Yun turned on the flashlight on his phone, and indeed, the performance of his dostically produced phone was impressive.

Not only was the signal great in the deep, isolated woods, but it also had sixteen speakers built in, which ant that if they played music, even Zhou Guang and his group on the second peak could probably hear it.

Most importantly, it also had a torch function.

The mont it was turned on, the bright light was like the sun in daylight.

Taking a closer look at the map he held, due to its age, it wasn’t very clear, but one could still make out so of the mountains depicted on it.

Song Yun’s gaze lingered on the five sowhat prominent peaks drawn on the map, then lifted his head to observe the surrounding peaks of the second, third, and fourth peaks, a thought crossing his mind.

This map, it seems to be of Five Girls Peak!

Under the torchlight, so hidden details on the map he hadn’t noticed when he first got it started to beco visible.

Between those peaks, one could faintly discern a fine black line, which looked like so sort of route map, stretching from afar, andering its way to the main peak, and then…

then it just ended!

“F**k!” Song Yun cursed as he looked at the missing piece, utterly speechless.

The missing piece was exactly the part War God had torn off.

Song Yun’s mind raced.

This map was definitely not sothing useless or sothing soone had doodled casually.

If it had been a casual doodle, it wouldn’t have been hidden in a chest for hundreds of years.

Moreover, people from the War God Family had said that this map could restore the family’s forr glory, which confird that whatever was indicated on the map must be extrely valuable.

But then, Song Yun got puzzled again, following the map, the object should be in the main peak, yet it seed that the Japanese professor and Zhou Guang and others were looking for sothing in the second peak, which clearly ant their target wasn’t the sa as his!

Thinking this, Song Yun’s eyes brightened!

“If there’s sothing in the main peak, and also in the second peak, could it be that there’s also sothing in the third, fourth, and fifth peaks?”

This thought invigorated him because it reminded him of a legend about Five Girls Peak.

The legend said that in the ancient tis, there were five monsters on these peaks causing havoc and harming the human world.

Eventually, the Jade Emperor couldn’t stand it anymore and sent five fairies to suppress these monsters under the mountains, not just the monsters but also their magical treasures and artifacts.

Later, to commorate these five fairies, the peaks were nad Five Girls Peak, and although the origins have slowly faded from mory, the story had shifted to being nad for the peaks resembling won.
