Looking at the blood flowing down from upstream, along with some tattered clothes and some indistinct skeletons, I felt a wave of sorrow.
He didn't expect that.
They have only just crossed Zhelong Mountain and taken their first step.
The losses have already been so severe.
He dared not even think about what would happen next.
soon.
Red Girl returned after taking stock of the battle damage.
After hearing the report, Chen Yulou almost fainted!

The young woman, looking sorrowful, reported:
"A total of twenty-seven brothers were lost on this mission."
"In terms of equipment losses, six searchlights were lost..."
Chen Yulou could no longer listen to the reports that followed.
He was completely stunned when he heard that he had lost twenty-seven brothers.
Their vanguard force consisted of only one hundred men in total!
And it was just passing through Zhelong Mountain.
Our journey to the tomb of King Xian has only just begun!
More than a quarter of our people were lost!
More than 500 people were waiting outside Zhelong Mountain.
Chen Yulou dared not even imagine it.
After all 500 people have crossed Zhelong Mountain, how many will be left?
With such a long unknown distance ahead, how much further can the remaining people go?
The more Chen Yulou thought about it, the sadder he became.
He almost lost his footing and stumbled backward.
"Brother Chen?" Partridge Whistle helped Chen Yulou up and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
After catching his breath, Chen Yulou shook his head and said, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Brother Partridge Whistle."
Then he turned to the girl in red and instructed her:
"Go and carve the nameplates for all the dead brothers, and then erect a monument for them on the spot."
Red Girl looked distressed and turned to instruct her brothers to do as she was told.
Chen Yulou composed himself.
Having taken out the map made of human skin, Li Xiaohu and Partridge Whistle discussed their next plan.
The dead brothers cannot be brought back to life.
But they still need to continue digging into the tomb of King Xian.
Chen Yulou asked the two of them.
"Have you two brothers estimated the approximate length of Zhelong Cave?"
Li Xiaohu frowned as he recalled.
Partridge Whistle also looked bewildered.
Inside the cave, they were all so focused on dealing with the crisis that they didn't notice this at all.
At this time.
Yin Xinyue, standing behind Li Xiaohu, blurted out:
"About seven kilometers."
The three of them turned to look at her in surprise.
Chen Yulou asked incredulously, "Miss Yin, are you sure?"
Yin Xinyue nodded and answered affirmatively, "I'm sure."
She hadn't deliberately paid attention to this thing.
Rather, it was her powerful arithmetic ability.
The approximate speed of the bamboo raft drifting was calculated by comparing it with the approximate time they spent in the cave.
You can quickly arrive at a general conclusion.
"Good." Chen Yulou gave Yin Xinyue an approving look.
Suddenly, he exclaimed, "I thought King Xian was just a nobody from a remote region; how big could his tomb be?"
"But now it seems..."
"Just to transport the building materials for the mausoleum, a waterway more than seven kilometers long was manually excavated, which went through the mountains."
"At the time, this was already an extremely difficult project."
"This Prince Xian may very well be as terrifying as the rumors suggest."
Partridge Whistle nodded in agreement.
As for Li Xiaohu, he had long known that the Prince of Xian was no ordinary person.
Furthermore, the tomb of King Xian is considered the biggest challenge at present!
Chen Yulou sighed several times before turning to Li Xiaohu and the other man to discuss, "I plan to have the people outside come in in three batches."
"The Azure Python inside the cave is now dead."
"It's threatening."
"All that's left are those fathers, those frozen vegetables, and those who have been forgiven!"
"As long as they act carefully, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Partridge Whistle nodded, offering no objection.
Those outside were all Chen Yulou's men, so he had no right to offer any opinions.
After frowning and pondering for a while, Li Xiaohu said, "It's possible."
"but......"
Li Xiaohu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"How can you accurately convey the situation inside the cave?"
Zhelong Mountain spans seven or eight kilometers horizontally, so even the loudest whistling arrow cannot travel through it.
Not to mention the secret sentries used for communication.
As for the white doves that deliver messages.
Needless to say.
There is absolutely no way that a white dove could fly over this snow-capped mountain that is over 3,300 meters high!
Who knows.
Chen Yulou, however, had a completely confident expression on his face and said with a smile that these were no big deal at all.
Then he shouted loudly behind him, "Telegraph operator!"
soon.
Several brothers ran up to them.
Two of them were also carrying large telegraph boxes on their backs.
Chen Yulou said proudly, "Brother Xiaohu."
"Don't forget, our equipment has been upgraded a long time ago."
"This is the most advanced telegraph machine in the world."
He then instructed the others to send out his message.
Li Xiaohu smiled helplessly.
He had become accustomed to the world's backward technology, but he never expected that technology would still be slowly rising.
The telegraph operator quickly relayed the message to the other side of Zhelong Mountain.
Luo Laowai and Hua Maguai, who were outside, received the telegram.
Preparations were completed very quickly.
