Chapter 2114 Black Snake

Everyone also discovered that the route of this group of foreigners overlapped greatly with theirs. They were probably also looking for the ancient city of Jingjue, and were even walking ahead of everyone else.

Professor Chen felt that it was urgent to reach Jingjue Ancient City ahead of these foreigners to avoid being overtaken 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 in order to better protect the things passed down by our ancestors. '

"Xiao Zhao, how can you say that?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at Hao Aiguo and said, "Professor Hao, don't forget, since they can take out explosives to blow up the ancient tomb, they may have other weapons on hand. We only have Lao Hu and Director Wang here. The borrowed shotgun and the others were all using their bare hands. You don’t think these people are soft-hearted people, do you?”

After hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo suddenly fell silent. Although they didn't want to admit it, when they saw the ancient tombs that had been destroyed before, they knew that these people were profit-seeking people. It was impossible for them to give up robbing the tombs just because of a few words from them. They might even kill people and silence them if the matter was exposed.

Zhao Shucheng saw the silent people and said with a smile: "I think you are a bit unfounded." The ancient tombs encountered along the way were all small tombs, even the tombs of a family, which were completely different from the situation in Jingjue Ancient City. '

"Since Queen Jingjue exercises high-pressure rule over her people, she will definitely be worried about retaliation after her death, so her tomb will definitely be full of institutions. These foreigners may as well be walking in front of us as they are exploring the way for us. , and also help us detect traps or dangers in advance.”

Professor Chen said worriedly: "But even if we let them explore the way, who knows what bad things they will do after they find the ancient tomb."

"I also agree with Professor Chen that 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 on the road regardless of time just because time is urgent."

"Secondly, Jingjue Ancient City is not easy to discover. Even if they do find something, whether they can leave is still a problem."

"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 encounter each other on a narrow road. Only by surviving can we explore the ancient city of Jingjue and even go back with our discoveries instead of just Died in obscurity in the desert."

"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 will really find the water source when we reach Jingjue Ancient City. Even before we find Jingjue Ancient City, the water supply will be cut off. What to do. Without water in the desert, our lives will be in danger, let alone finding the ancient city of Jingjue."

Faced with Zhao Shucheng's negative attitude, Professor Chen and others were full of confidence, thinking that they would definitely be able to discover something, and even eventually find the ancient city of Jingjue. Hu Bayi actually had the same thought as Zhao Shucheng, hoping not to encounter those foreigners.

However, in the next trip, difficulties came much faster than everyone imagined.

An Liman stopped the camel team. After looking at the direction, he pointed to the endless desert in the distance and said: "The direction of the Ziduan River can no longer be seen from here. I have never been here before, and there is nothing I can do." Okay, let's go back the way we came. '

However, Yang Xueli disagreed and insisted that everyone continue to move forward and must find the ancient city of Jingjue.

But this is not the biggest difficulty. Ye Yixin has begun to suffer from heat stroke and dehydration because she is not adaptable to life in the desert. Fortunately, Zhao Shucheng discovered it in time and gave her more water every day to replenish her water, so she did not let it go. The situation becomes more serious.

However, the water supply continued to be consumed, but there was still no trace of the ancient city of Jingjue. Even during a break, everyone's watches, compasses and other tools all malfunctioned.

An Liman said with some uneasiness: "I just took a look and found that we have gone out of the area covered by the Zidu Underwater River, and we can no longer find any trace of the Underground River."

"Then when was the trace of the underground river finally found?" Hu Bayi asked.

"Half a day ago. Don't go any further. If you go further, I really can't find the way back."

However, Yang Xueli said excitedly: "It turns out that all this is true. The traces of the Zidu Dark River have been lost in the depths of the desert. In the sea of ​​​​death where no grass grows, there are two huge Cishan Mountains, facing the afterglow of the setting sun, like Ancient warriors wearing armor walked through this valley, and a legendary city appeared in front of them."

"Wait, what mountain did you say?"

"Cishan!"

Zhao Shucheng said: "There is a problem with our watches and other instruments. It seems that we have arrived near Cishan. There is no other way to identify the direction except Feng Shui and the positioning of the sun and stars."

Zhao Shucheng had actually faintly noticed that there was a huge strong magnetic field not far away, which was quietly interfering with people's thinking and actions.

"We are not far from Zagrama Mountain. In which direction Magnetic Mountain is, maybe we can only locate it in this way."

As he spoke, Zhao Shucheng took out a coin from his pocket, threw it directly into the air, and then watched the coin fall on the ground.

Others thought that Zhao Shucheng was using a divination method, but they did not expect that the coin fell directly to the ground, neither heads nor tails, but was stuck in the sand.

After doing this several times in a row, the others still had no reaction, but An Liman was already kneeling on the ground in fear, praying for something.

Zhao Shucheng said, "So, the position we are in now should be at the center of the magnetic field of the two magnetic mountains, so the watch and compass will not work because the magnetic field is disordered." But it is precisely because of this that the primitive method of asking for directions can determine the direction we will take next. '

"As long as we keep moving in the straight direction where the coin dropped and stood after being thrown, we can reach the so-called valley. After passing there, we can find the ancient city of Jingjue."

"why would you say so?"

"The two magnetic mountains repel each other, so the magnetic field in the middle can be said to be the most chaotic, and it can also be said to be the most stable. If the coin deviates slightly, it will fall to the other side, or even be attracted. But standing, it means Right in the middle. Likes repel and opposites attract. If the magnetic mountain were a magnetic field, the valley in the middle would no longer exist.”

Professor Chen and others said excitedly: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off quickly and find the ancient city of Jingjue as soon as possible." '

However, Zhao Shucheng stopped a group of people and said: "I don't suggest that we set off now. We have walked for most of the day and are exhausted. According to the current position of the sun, we are already at about six o'clock in the afternoon. What we should do is to set up camp and rest, and wait. When it gets dark, it will be difficult for us to find a suitable campsite.”

"According to the conditions of this magnetic field and what is recorded in Miss Yang's notes, we can reach Zagrama Mountain in just one day, so it is perfectly time to set off early tomorrow morning."

Hearing what Zhao Shucheng said, although the others were unwilling, they didn't want to be unable to camp by then, and they didn't want to have no energy tomorrow, so they started setting up camp early.

While others were busy, Hu Bayi walked up to Zhao Shucheng and asked, "If you don't let everyone set off now, it shouldn't just be that we can reach Cishan tomorrow, right?"

Zhao Shucheng asked: "Why do you think so?" "You have been a little abnormal along the way. At first I thought you were worried about meeting foreigners, but later I found out that was not the case. You have been looking in one direction. Now that I think about it, is exactly in the direction of Cishan, are you..."

Zhao Shucheng said: "I just feel the danger. The smell of death is very strong and dangerous. To be honest, I don't want the archaeological team to continue moving forward, because if we really set foot there, I cannot guarantee the safety of everyone."

Zhao Shucheng did feel the aura of danger. It was not obvious before, but as he got closer and closer to Jingjue Ancient City, the feeling of danger became 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 bring any threat to him. After all, with Zhao Shucheng's martial arts skills and the golden light spell, it was impossible to break through the defense.

However, this feeling of danger followed him like a shadow, which made Zhao Shucheng have to guess that maybe there were other dangers in Jingjue Ancient City, but Hu Bayi and his party did not encounter them, or the other party deliberately let them go.

When Hu Bayi heard what Zhao Shucheng said, he didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't expect that Zhao Shucheng would have such a moment, but he had never seen Zhao Shucheng like this.

But he also knew very well that it was simply impossible to let everyone go back the same way just based on the sense of danger that Zhao Shucheng mentioned.

"I understand, and I will remind everyone to be more careful."

The next day, after the sun rose, everyone packed up and set off.

When we reach noon, we can see two majestic mountains standing between the sky and the earth, almost within reach.

Zhao Shucheng said: "Look, Zagrama Mountain is right there. We can get there in the afternoon."

Seeing the mountains so close, everyone suddenly became energetic and unconsciously accelerated towards Zagrama Mountain.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, when we were only a few hundred meters away from Cishan, the camel was unwilling to continue walking.

An Liman got off the camel, checked it out, and said, "Leader Hu, my camel has never looked like this." The camel was afraid and unwilling to move forward. '

After Zhao Shucheng saw it, he knew that Luotuo must have sensed the danger of smothering his face, so he was unwilling to move forward.

"Uncle An Liman, Professor Chen, since the camel feels in danger, let's camp here tonight and explore the ancient city of Jingjue tomorrow. Anyway, we are already here, so we don't lack the hour or two."

But Shirley Yang said: "Since the camel was frightened, there must be something in front of it. Let's go and take a look first."

When Zhao Shucheng heard what Yang Xueli said, he looked at the others and could only shake his head helplessly. He took out the scimitar he brought from Kunlun Snow Mountain and asked the archaeological team to set up camp here. He and Hu Bayi went forward together. Went exploring.

When I walked near the valley, I saw that the valley was still a little dark because the mountain walls were so high that it blocked the sunlight.

You can see a person sitting motionless in the valley.

After seeing this, Wang Kaixuan relaxed his guard and said, "Hey, don't act stupid there!"

"Fat man, stop shouting, this is a dead man."

Zhao Shucheng frowned and walked over step by step as he spoke, but the scimitar in his hand and Zhao Shucheng's pace told others that Zhao Shucheng had not given up vigilance at all.

After Zhao Shucheng walked up to him, he saw that he was holding an assault rifle in his hand, and there were even some bullet casings scattered around, proving that the other party must have encountered some danger.

Carefully using a machete to lift the scarf off the opponent's face, a foreigner's face was revealed. It seemed that this was the group of tomb robbers whose routes overlapped before.

Zhao Shucheng hesitated for a moment and stamped his feet vigorously, making bursts of noise, which made Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan who were following behind a little puzzled. Even Shirley Yang, who was holding a pistol, couldn't help but glance at Zhao Shucheng.

Just when everyone else was confused, they saw a thin snake with red light emerging from the foreigner's body.

The snake swallowed the snake's tongue, looked at Zhao Shucheng who was still moving, and then suddenly pounced on Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng had long been alert to the appearance of this kind of snake, and swung his machete to cut the snake in half. However, Zhao Shucheng did not relax his vigilance, but instead stared closely at the snake head with only the upper half left on the ground.

When Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan saw Zhao Shucheng cutting off the fire snake, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and were about to come over to check the situation.

Zhao Shucheng said: "Don't come close!"

Just as he was talking, the snake head, which looked dead just now, suddenly shook its body, and then rushed directly towards Zhao Shucheng.

Without saying a word, Zhao Shucheng took a step back, swung the scimitar again, and killed the snake directly on the head. The snake was immediately lying on the ground.

"These snakes are very tenacious. Just interrupting them is not enough. The snake's head must be eliminated. Moreover, this kind of snake is completely black. In such a valley, especially at night, it is difficult to find traces."

Hearing what Zhao Shucheng said and looking at the snake corpse on the ground, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but nod, feeling a little scared.

Zhao Shucheng said: "This is the third line of defense for 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 former tomb robbers."

Fatty Wang suddenly asked: "There are three lines of release, why is it the third one?" '

"The first path is the desert, the second path is Cishan, and the third path is this black snake. As for there should be other traps and defense measures inside, we need to explore them."
