Chapter 69 Mystery
Everyone also found that the routes of this group of foreigners overlapped with them, and they should be looking for the ancient city of Jingjue and even walking in front of everyone.
Professor Chen felt that it was urgent to arrive at Jingjue Ancient City before these foreigners to avoid being taken first by these people again.
After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng looked at Professor Chen, Hu Bayi and others and said, "I don't think we should be so anxious. We must ensure our own safety so that we can better protect what our ancestors have passed down."
"Xiao Zhao, how could you say that?"
Zhao Shucheng looked at Hao Aiguo and said, "Professor Hao, don't forget that since they can take out explosives to explode the ancient tomb, there may be other weapons in their hands. We only have the bird guns borrowed by Lao Hu and Director Wang, and the others are all bare-handed. You don't think these people are all rude people, right?"
When they heard Zhao Shucheng say this, Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo were silent. Although they did not want to admit it, they knew that these people were profit-oriented people when they saw the tombs that had been destroyed before. They could not give up the tomb robbery just because of their words, and might even kill people to silence them because the matter was exposed.
When Zhao Shucheng saw the silent people, he smiled and said, "I think you are a little worried. The ancient tombs we encountered along the way were all small tombs, even tombs of a family, which was completely different from the situation in Jingjue Ancient City."
"Since Queen Jingjue has implemented high-pressure rule over her people, she will definitely worry that she will be retaliated after her death, so her mausoleum will definitely be in a lot of mechanisms. It is better for these foreigners to walk ahead of us, just to take a look at us and help us discover traps or dangers in advance."
Professor Chen said worriedly: "But even if they are asked to explore the way, after they find the ancient tomb, who knows what bad things they will do?"
"I also agree with Professor Chen, we need to speed up our entry into the city."
Zhao Shucheng said: "I don't agree. First of all, this is not a good place, but a desert. There are many dangers in it. You can't rush to the road because of the urgent time."
"Secondly, Jingjue Ancient City is not so easy to discover. Even if they really discover something, it is a problem whether they can leave."
"Of course, the most important thing is that we need to be prepared for what we will encounter next, such as how to survive when we meet each other on a narrow road. Only by surviving can we explore the ancient city of Jingjue and even take the discovery back, instead of just dying in the desert in obscurity."
"And we have to consider another issue, that is, the issue of survival in the desert. Our drinking water is still sufficient now, but we cannot guarantee that we can really find water sources when we arrive at Jingjue Ancient City. What should we do if the water is cut off before we find Jingjue Ancient City? If there is no water source in the desert, we will be in danger of life, let alone searching for Jingjue Ancient City."
Faced with Zhao Shucheng's negative attitude, Professor Chen and others were full of confidence, thinking that they would definitely find something, and even eventually found Jingjue Ancient City. Hu Bayi actually thought the same as Zhao Shucheng thought, and he also hoped not to meet those foreigners.
However, in the next trip, the difficulties came much faster than everyone thought.
An Liman asked the camel team to stop, after looking at the direction, pointing to the endless desert in the distance and said, "I can't see the direction of the Zidu Dark River here. I have never been there any longer. I can do nothing. Let's go back the same way."
However, Yang Xueli disagreed and insisted on letting everyone continue to move forward and must find Jingjue Ancient City.
However, this is not the biggest difficulty. Ye Yixin has begun to experience symptoms of heatstroke and dehydration because she is not used to life in the desert. Fortunately, Zhao Shucheng discovered it in time and gave her more water every day to replenish her water so that the situation did not become more serious.
However, the water source continued to be consumed, but Jingjue Ancient City was still invisible. Even during a break, everyone's watches, compass and other tools failed.
An Liman said uneasyly: "I just looked at it and we have walked out of the coverage of the Zidu Dark River. We can no longer find any traces of the Dark River."
"When was the last trace of the river found?" Hu Bayi asked.
"Half a day ago. Don't go forward any further. Go forward any further. I really can't find the way back."
Yang Xueli said excitedly: "It turns out that all this is true. The trace of the Zidu Dark River is lost in the depths of the desert. There are two huge magnetic mountains in the sea of death that are endless. Facing the afterglow of the sunset, it is like an ancient warrior in armor. Through this valley, a legendary city appears before your eyes."
"Wait, what mountain did you say?"
"Magnetic Mountain!"
Zhao Shucheng said: "There is a problem with our watches and other instruments. It seems that we have come to the vicinity of Cishan Mountain. Next, we can no longer use other methods to identify the direction. We can only use Feng Shui and position the sun and the stars."
Zhao Shucheng had actually faintly sensed that there was a huge and strong magnetic field not far away, which was quietly interfering with people's thinking and actions.
"We are not far from Mount Zagrama. In which direction is the Magnetic Mountain? Maybe we can only locate it in this way."
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng took out a coin from his pocket and threw it directly into the air, then watched the coin land on the ground.
Others thought Zhao Shucheng used divination methods, but they did not expect that the coins fell directly to the ground, neither the front nor the back, but were inserted into the sand.
After several times of this, the others did not react at all, but An Liman was kneeling on the ground in panic, praying for something.
Zhao Shucheng said, "So that's the case. The direction we are in now should be in the middle of the magnetic field of the two magnetic mountains, so neither the watch nor the compass compass work because the magnetic field is disordered. But because of this, the original casting of the stones can determine the direction we will walk next."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! "As long as we keep following the straight line of the coin thrown and then landing on the stand, we can reach the so-called valley, and after passing by, we can find the Jingjue Ancient City."
"Why do you say that?"
"The two magnetic mountains repel each other, so the magnetic field in the middle can be said to be the most chaotic or stable. If the coin deviates slightly, it will turn to the other side and even be sucked over. But standing means it is in the middle position. The same sex repels each other and attracts each other. If the magnetic mountains are a magnetic field, the valley in the middle will no longer exist."
Professor Chen and others said excitedly: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off quickly and find Jingjue Ancient City as soon as possible."
Zhao Shucheng stopped a group of people and said, "I don't recommend that we set out now. We have been away for most of the day and were trapped in the crowd. According to the current sun position, we are now at around 6 pm. What we should do is to set up camp and rest. When it gets dark, it will not be easy for us to find a suitable camping site."
"According to the situation of this magnetic field and the content recorded in Ms. Yang's notes, we can reach Mount Zagrama in just one day, so it's time to set off tomorrow morning."
When Zhao Shucheng said this, although the others were unwilling to accept it, they did not want to be able to camp at that time, nor did they want to be unstimulated tomorrow, so they started camping early.
While others were busy, Hu Bayi walked to Zhao Shucheng and asked, "If you don't let everyone set out now, it shouldn't be able to reach the location of Cishan tomorrow, right?"
Zhao Shucheng asked, "Why do you think so?"
"You have been a little abnormal all the way. At first I thought you were worried about meeting foreigners, but later I found out that it was not. You have been looking at a direction. Now when you look back, you are looking at the direction of Cishan. Are you..."
Zhao Shucheng said: "I just felt danger. The breath of death is very strong and dangerous. To be honest, I don't want the archaeological team to continue moving forward because if I really set foot there, I can't guarantee everyone's safety."
Zhao Shucheng did feel the dangerous aura, which was not obvious before, but as he got closer and closer to Jingjue Ancient City, the feeling of danger became stronger and stronger.
Zhao Shucheng didn't understand why, because if it was really just the so-called black-eyed monster snake, Zhao Shucheng didn't think the place would pose any threat to him. After all, just Zhao Shucheng's national skills and a golden light curse would be impossible to break the defense.
However, this sense of danger followed like a shadow, Zhao Shucheng had to guess that there might be other dangers in Jingjue Ancient City, but Hu Bayi and his party did not meet them, or the other party let them go.
When Hu Bayi heard Zhao Shucheng say this, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't expect that Zhao Shucheng would have such a time, but he had never seen Zhao Shucheng like this.
But he also knew very well that it was impossible to make everyone return the same way with the dangerous feeling Zhao Shucheng said.
"I understand. Next, I will remind everyone to be careful."
The next day, after the sun rose, everyone packed up their things and set off.
When you walk to noon, you can see two majestic mountains standing between the sky and the earth, almost within reach.
Zhao Shucheng said: "Look, Zagrama Mountain is there, we can get there in the afternoon."
Seeing the mountains so close, everyone suddenly felt energetic and unconsciously rushed towards Zagrama Mountain.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when it was only a few hundred meters away from the Magnetic Mountain, camel was reluctant to continue walking forward.
An Liman looked down at the camel and said, "Captain Hu, my camel has never been like this. The camel is afraid and unwilling to move forward."
After seeing this, Zhao Shucheng knew that the camel must have noticed the danger of extinguishing the face, so he was unwilling to move forward.
"Uncle An Liman, Professor Chen, since the camel feels danger, we will set up camp here tonight and explore Jingjue Ancient City tomorrow. Anyway, since we have arrived here, there is no shortage of that one or two hours."
But Yang Xueli said: "Since the camel was scared, it must be something ahead. Let's go and take a look first."
When Zhao Shucheng heard Yang Xueli say this, he looked at the others again. He could only shake his head helplessly, take out the scimitar he brought from Kunlun Snow Mountain, and let the archaeological team set up camp here, and he went forward with Hu Bayi.
When I walked near the valley, I saw that the valley was still a little dim because the walls were towering, blocking the sunlight.
You can see in the valley, as if a person was sitting, motionless.
When Wang Kaixuan saw it, he relaxed his guard and said, "Hey, don't pretend to be stupid there!"
"Fatty, stop shouting, this is a dead person."
Zhao Shucheng said, frowned and walked over step by step, but the scimitar in his hand and Zhao Shucheng's pace were telling others that Zhao Shucheng did not give up on his vigilance at all.
After Zhao Shucheng walked to him, he saw him holding an assault rifle in his hand, and even some shells were scattered around him, proving that the other party must have encountered some danger.
Carefully used a scimitar to lift the face of the other person's face with a scimitar, revealing a foreigner's face. I think this is the group of tomb robbers whose routes overlapped before.
Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment, stomping his feet hard, and making waves of noises, which made Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan who were following behind him a little puzzled. Even Shirley Yang holding a pistol could not help but look at Zhao Shucheng.
Just when others didn't understand, they saw a thin snake covered in red light emerge from the corpse of the foreigner.
The snake was swallowing and spitting out the snake's letter, looking at Zhao Shucheng who was still moving, and then rushed towards Zhao Shucheng.
Zhao Shucheng had long been alert to the appearance of this snake, waving a scimitar and directly chopped the snake in half. However, Zhao Shucheng did not relax his vigilance, but instead stared at the snake head with only the upper body left on the ground.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were relieved when they saw Zhao Shucheng cutting off the fire snake and were about to come over to check the situation.
Zhao Shucheng said, "Don't get close!"
As he was talking, he had a snake head that was already dead, suddenly shook his body and then rushed towards Zhao Shucheng.
Without saying a word, Zhao Shucheng took a step back, waved his sword again, and killed the snake directly on the head. Suddenly the snake lay on the ground.
"These snakes have strong vitality, and just interruption is not enough. They must destroy the snake's head. Moreover, these snakes are black all over, and it is difficult to find traces in such valleys, especially at night."
When he heard Zhao Shucheng say this, he looked at the snake corpse on the ground again. Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but nod, a little scared.
Zhao Shucheng said: "This is the third line of defense entering Jingjue Ancient City, and this snake is definitely not the only one. After all, there are many corpses here, all of which belong to foreigners. They should be the tomb robbers before."
Fatty Wang suddenly asked, "Why is the third one?"
