Candle in the Tomb: The Worm Valley

=Candle in the Tomb: The Worm Valley=

=Episode 03=

These piranhas even made a dent on the shovel!

What do we do now, Hu?

What else can we do?

As they say,

if you don't make it, you're fish food.

You might as well kill me now.

I don't want to become fish food!

Watch me stab!

I'll kill every one of you!

Careful.

Fatty.

Take the shovel with you.

All right.

Hu!

Hu!

Hu!

Hu.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Let's go.

Patriarch,

we've been chasing after them for so long,

but there's still no sign of them.

To go to the Worm Valley,

this is the only way.

Out of the cave, what awaits them is a forest.

They won't be able

to get out of here.

King Xian surely knew how to choose a place.

No ordinary man can find

such a place in a lofty mountain.

Enough talking.

This area is densely covered by plants.

It'll be hard to find the way when it's dark.

Let's get a move on.

Hu,

let me take a look at your hand.

Right.

It's fine.

No, no. Let's still take a look at it.

All right. All right.

It's bleeding.

This won't do.

We have to treat it immediately.

It's just a small injury.

You're not young anymore.

But still so reckless.

Is that bag more important than your life?

What if something happened to you?

Had you ever thought that I...

Fatty and I would be worried about you?

Why would I be worried?

Yes. I'm worried.

Very worried.

Not only am I worried,

but I also have to criticize you, Hu.

You were wrong this time.

You tried to catch a fish but got your hand bitten instead.

You gained nothing and even almost lost your hand.

Cut it off.

I have to show off my skills somehow.

We can't let

the esteemed superior who returned from overseas

think we're useless now, can we?

Superior? Indeed.

Look at that bow.

It's tied so neatly.

Of course.

After all,

Chief Yang tied it.

Besides, what is our operation called?

"Operation Butterfly".

We got to have a symbol.

Save it, will you?

Listen.

I had to get this bag.

Our equipment is inside.

We need it to save our lives, just in case.

If we lose the equipment,

we can always come back next time.

But if you lose your life,

how are you going to come back?

What's this for?

To prevent infection and inflammation.

I don't need it. I'm strong and healthy.

This is just a small injury.

Leave that

for someone else who really needs it.

Got it?

Keep it away.

Well, I think

you're the one who really needs it.

Chief Yang,

he's just afraid.

This brat has always been afraid of getting his shots since young.

Don't be rejoicing over someone's misfortune.

You know what?

Just pack up. We're moving.

I don't need it.

Move?

Don't even think about it.

Come on.

This map was created back in the Han Dynasty.

Over two thousand years ago.

Many of the landscape features marked on the map

have changed dramatically since.

Except for a few distinctive landmarks

and locations,

I don't think this map

will be of much help to us.

Hu,

use your Sixteen-character

Feng Shui Scrolls.

Xunlong Technique or something.

To use the Xunlong Technique

requires identifying the geography, landscape,

and the formation of the mountains and rivers.

In this area,

clouds and mist surround the mountain tops,

and the bottom of the mountains

are full of trees and vines.

It's as if the entire place is covered in a cotton blanket.

I assume

even if the founder of the tomb raiders were here,

he would not be able to do much.

Well, we can't use the map

nor the Xunlong Technique.

Is there anything else we can use?

Blind Chen told us.

Dive straight into the forest after getting out of Zhelong Mountain.

Go through the forest and keep heading north.

No matter what,

we've finally passed the first obstacle, Zhelong Mountain.

It'll get even more dangerous from here on,

so be careful.

To the north.

Is that the way to the north?

Be careful.

Slowly now. Be careful.

Be careful, Hu.

Guys,

there's a huge banyan tree over here.

Look.

These two trees are twisted around each other.

Is this what they call a couple tree?

It's hard to navigate our way around here at night.

I think

we should rest here for tonight.

Fatty.

Please look for some firewood nearby.

I'll start a fire.

All right.

Stay alert.

Got it.

Fatty,

what's taking you

so long?

Hey, how about "Thank you for your hard work"?

Let me tell you something.

This forest may appear dense,

but it's hard to find firewood around here.

I basically

went through the vast forests.

Listen. What's that sound?

Is there a sound?

What sound?

This sounds like

a Morse code, three short, three long, and three short.

Three short, three long, and three short?

The international distress signal, SOS.

I don't hear anything.

Besides,

we're in the middle of nowhere

in the middle of the night.

Why would there be some SOS...?

Oh, you might have heard

my stomach rumbling just now.

Hu, pass me the blanket.

It's so cold out here.

You guys get some rest. I'll keep watch.

Got it.

I'll leave it to you then, Hu.

I'm telling you,

the only thing I want to do right now

is sleep.

How does he fall asleep as soon as he lies down?

If only everyone in this world

were as simple as he is.

You better get some rest too.

These two trees won't last much longer.

There are too many parasitic plants on them.

The nutrients they absorb are no longer enough

to sustain themselves and those plants.

Look.

Their trunks are already empty.

They can only survive another three to five years, at most.

Water brims only to overflow; the moon waxes only to wane.

They may look lively now,
