=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.

♪ Through the snowy plains ♪

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,

but in fact, they are already reaching their end.

Why the sudden lament?

We've gone through so many ordeals to get here.

But will we be able to find the exact location

of the ancient Dian Kingdom within the Worm Valley,

or can we find the Fowl-dust Orb?

Everything remains unknown.

When I think about how we will end up, dead or alive,

my heart just...

Aren't you sleepy?

I know why you don't sleep.

When you close your eyes,

you think of my magnificent figure, don't you?

That's why you don't want to sleep.

How about this?

You carry on with your spirit of internationalism

and take my shift to keep watch.

When you're tired, wake me up.

Don't even think about it.

With the way you and Fatty are,

once you guys fall asleep,

you'll both be dead logs.

If I stand guard,

you guys would definitely pretend to be sound asleep

and refuse to get up.

Then why won't you go to sleep yet?

Hu.

Hu.

What's the matter?

I'm sure I heard something again.

Someone's up in the trees.

Someone?

How do you know it's not an animal?

I also thought

it was an animal at first.

But I listened closely

and found it to be rhythmic.

It definitely didn't come from an animal.

Are you talking about

the Morse code for SOS you mentioned earlier?

It is the Morse code.

But not SOS this time.

Listen.

D.

E.

A.

D.

Dead.

It's the death signal.

What are you doing?

I'm going up there to check.

Why?

Don't go.

This might be a death signal

released by the deceased souls, as the myths say.

A ghost signal?

I've never heard of such a thing.

When I was undergoing military training,

I once heard them say

that there were troops stationed in distant mountainous areas

whose radios would occasionally receive intermittent

and inexplicable distress signals.

The troops thought someone was in distress

and sent people to search for them.

But none of them returned.

And the signals disappeared as well.

No matter what,

we are close to the Worm Valley.

I should check it out

just to be safe.

Besides,

if there really was someone who needed help,

we can't just turn a blind eye.

Fatty,

get up.

What... What?

There might be something in the trees. I'm going to check it out.

Stay here and keep watch.

Give me another five minutes.

I'll get up in five minutes.

Just five minutes.

Just give me five minutes.

Hu, look.

Aircraft wreckage.

What's going on?

Why would there be aircraft wreckage here?

Look over there.

Be careful.

This is the wreckage of a US-C transport aircraft.

Right.

I'll check out the front.

Be careful.

Here, give me your hand.

This way.

Come on.

Between 1942 to 1945,

no less than

600 to 700 U.S. planes

that flew along

the late Hump route

and the China-Myanmar borders

crashed in southwestern China.

This might

be one of them

that was used to deliver supplies

to the Chinese Expeditionary Force that fought in Myanmar

back then. Look.

There sure are a lot of things.

I wonder if any of them can still be used.

This aircraft must have crashed into the mountain

and broke into pieces.

And the section of the cabin head

landed right on the canopy of the banyan trees.

Only a rare couple tree as this one here

would have been able

to withstand such a large impact.

Wait here. I'll check it out.

Hu? Hu, wake up!

Are you all right, Hu?

Hu!

Hu!

What are you guys doing up there?

Hu!

Hu!

Shut up!

Shut up?

What are you guys doing up there?

Are you guys doing something behind my back?

Stop the nonsense.

No, I mean,

did you guys

find something good up there?

We found the aircraft wreckage.

We'll check it out and get down soon.

Aircraft wreckage?

Hu,

are you all right?

I was just frightened, that's all.

What do you think was that earlier?

It's not actually

the pilot, right?

With your intelligence and common knowledge,

do you think that was a human?

It's not human?

Hey.

Are you getting comfortable?

I think

there should be another name for you.

What is it?

Simmons. [*a brand of mattress]

Hu,

what was it that flew away just now?

I didn't see it clearly either.

I was busy looking at you.

What are all of these?

What are these?

This trunk looks big. Let's open it.

These are Thompson Submachineguns.

The American mafia

calls them Chicago Typewriters.

These are good guns,

but they are heavy.

Is that so?

Let me try.

There are bullets as well.

We got lucky.

It looks like

this was an aircraft used to transport arm and gunfire supplies.

The supplies

were tightly sealed.

They're still well-preserved

after over forty years.

It's a rare find indeed.

Let's see what else there is.

This should be enough for us, right?

Wait! Wait! Don't shoot!

I'm an ally.

Why are you here?

I thought I told you to keep watch down there.

Why did you come up here?

Wait. Weren't you afraid of heights? It makes you dizzy.

Why are you here then?

Why...

I'm telling you, Hu,

I would rather die of dizziness up here

than stay down there

and die of fright.

I...

When did you get a gun?

Is this a real gun?

I knew it! You guys found the good stuff

and didn't tell me!

What?

Are you thinking of keeping all the loot to yourself?

Thompson Submachinegun?

Oh, my.

You know what, Hu,

if you and I

carry a submachinegun in our hands,

would we be a gun squad then?

You'll be the leader, and I...

You certainly have a good eye, Chief Yang.

That's what you call two pistols in hand.

Oh, the Huaying Mountain.

Towering ten thousand feet...

Shut up.

Hurry up and take your pick.

This one.

Find the bullets.

What did I tell you,

Hu?

I look exactly

like Wang Kai Xuan of the Garrison's Gorillas, don't I?

How about it? I look cool, right?

This is awesome.

Fatty.

Don't move.

I think there's something behind you.

Oh, quit messing around. I'm having a moment here.

It's real this time.

Hu,

what is that?

I think it's the legendary eagle-owl.

What's an eagle-owl?

A giant owl.

I think they were the ones

who sounded that signal earlier.

This is the sound.

That's what I heard earlier when I was down there.

It's like the screech of a female ghost.

Everyone, be on guard.

Take this!

What's going on?

What guns did they carry with them?

They didn't have any

when they were at my place.

Where did the sound of the gunshots come from?

North.

Be on guard.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Wait.

That Da is certainly somebody.

Even Uncle listens to him.

My father said

he is very skilled and capable.

In what?

It's just hunting and tracking.

It's not a big deal.

What I'm trying to say

is that soon,

everyone in the village

will think he's capable too.

You understand what I mean, right?

That blade is given to you.

Don't worry, Cousin.

No matter what,

I'll always be on your side.

Let's catch them first.

The trees can't hold the weight of the aircraft any longer!

What do we do, Hu?

Run!
