Chapter 118 The current ruins

The sun sets over the mountains.

The cold moon hangs high in the sky.

The cold wind howled and snowflakes floated in the sky.

In the camp composed of the wreckage of the airship crash, tents were arranged in an orderly manner around it, with the wreckage of the airship as the core and expanding outward.

These tents are large or small, and the function of these tents can be roughly distinguished from the appearance of the tents.

Either for resting, for storing supplies, or for discussing matters.

It is one of the logistics supplies that has been prepared for a long time.

Outside the tent is a circle of scattered defensive obstacles and fences.

Although these things don't look very stable, at least they still have a lot of effect when facing attacks.

It looks a bit messy, but if you take a closer look, you can see that it looks like randomly placed fences, which can well block the enemy from rushing over.

In the presence of a gun, the enemy's figure rushing into the camp will be delayed and forced to slow down, suffering a heavy blow during this period.

Two three-person teams with a total of six patrol officers were patrolling around the fence.

After all, the camp is actually not big, and you can easily see the other side from one end.

A simple sentry tower was only halfway built.

"So based on the current situation, our mission may be to protect these archaeologists after they explore the ruins." Zhuang Cai sat by the fire and looked at the two people beside him.

There are two tents behind them, stacked on the left and right sides with fires.

"I think maybe the number of survivors in the camp will also be counted in the evaluation and score." Yang Rongrong thought for a moment and said.

This statement is also very reasonable.

One can even conclude that this is definitely the case.

Zhuang Cai picked up a branch and sketched on the snow in front of him: "It is known that there are three forces. From the soldiers, I learned that there is basically not much harm to the soldiers and it is difficult to protect themselves.

We have a larger number of people, sufficient supplies, and our target is the ruins.

The number is unknown, the threat is greatest, and the target may be the indigenous cultists on the other two sides. "

Two circles were drawn on the snow, with arrows drawn between them, marking the relationship between them.

"So I made a proposal, and I would lead the team to protect those archaeologists.

The two of you will stay in the camp, but in the south and north of Jiangsu, tomorrow you will secretly explore the camp on this coast alone to see their specific situation.

The environment of white snow is perfect for hiding your figure. "

In the darkness, Nan Subei's shadow cloak can almost make him hide like a perfect invisibility. The easiest thing to notice in the daytime is the space distortion caused by the cloak when he moves.

Under a blanket of white snow, the sun is shining brightly, making the environment ahead look very dazzling and even confusing.

In this case, the distortion of space is so imperceptible, as long as he controls his steps in the snow. And the footprints that will remain.

Hearing Zhuang Cai's words, Nan Subei nodded: "What aspect are you mainly exploring?"

"If what those soldiers said is true, it's hard on those soldiers, isn't it? It's hard to see if they're actually alive. The main thing is to take a look at that ship and see if that ship can be used."

After hearing the words of those soldiers today, Zhuang Cai was keenly aware that they came here on a ship.

The only problem with that ship was that it was out of fuel.

They also have no means to leave the island. In this case, this ship is very useful.

It just had to find fuel, and with or without it, the ship was a fallback.

Because this can at least leave the island quickly, and at least protect more people.

Otherwise, even if you find the so-called treasure, it will have no meaning without it.

"To be honest, have these people been dazzled by the so-called treasure?" Yang Rongrong asked from the side.

Since the three of them are explorers, to put it simply, they are outsiders who are very unfamiliar with this place and have no sense of belonging.

The three of them couldn't understand why these people were so crazy, especially when it came to treasure.

After knowing that there is this so-called treasure, no matter it is a treasure hunting group or even an archaeologist with no strength.

Both parties actually agreed to stay on the island rather than find a way to leave the island.

Even though the island looked dangerous, they were happy with it.

Regarding these words, Zhuang Cai just shook his head: "Otherwise, if you want to leave, it won't be a dungeon.

And maybe for them, this treasure is really the road to heaven, and it is only natural to see them risking their lives like that. "

“What concerns me most now is how powerful the indigenous camp is.

I was ambushed before I came here, although there were only three native savages. But I roughly know from their mouths that the force that broke our airship cabin in half was the result of their use. "

Hearing Zhuang Cai's words, Nan Subei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It seems that this power is definitely beyond the current stage and beyond the level of this copy.

He couldn't help but say: "According to normal logic, that kind of attack must be limited, otherwise the attacks we faced during the day would not be those savages who can transform."

Regarding Nan Subei's words, the two of them nodded in affirmation.

Because this is indeed a more logical thinking.

So far, the dungeons they have explored have not encountered anything that exceeds the power of the current dungeon.

If there is, then there must be some conditions restricting it, and there must be some method or something in the copy that can offset it.

And if they are so powerful, it would be most efficient to ambush them when they crash.

At that time, let alone resisting or escaping, there was not even the slightest resistance.

Not long after chatting, everyone went into the tent to rest.

The entire camp fell into silence, except for the fire burning wood.

As well as two teams patrolling outside the camp.

Today's day's experience was exciting for everyone, and everyone was exhausted.

Silent all night.

The next morning.

Zhuang Cai and the other three came out of the tent and ate breakfast cooked in a large pot.

They organized their teams and prepared to take action.

"The five of you definitely can't go together. Let's send two people first." Zhuang Cai suggested from the side.

There are a total of 5 archaeologists. Except for Ali, the mentor, the remaining 4 are his students.

Under such circumstances, it would be too difficult to lead five helpless people and protect them.

So it’s best to bring two, which is also the easiest to protect.

Moreover, they are not completely sure whether the ruins in the data exist and whether they really have a certain value, so they first explore with a small group and determine their value before quickly exploring with a large group.

At this time, Ali, who is the most knowledgeable, must be there.

After hearing Zhuang Cai's suggestion, Ali thought for a while and nodded.

After thinking for a while, he pointed at Milan and said: "Then Milan, you will come with me today."

After all, Milan and Zhuang Cai knew each other, so it would be just right for Zhuang Cai to lead the team.

And he is also his proud disciple.

Milan nodded.

Then Angel also found 6 people and asked them to bring their weapons and follow Zhuang Cai's orders.

Soon the team of 9 people was ready to go.

Zhuang Cai looked at Ali and said, "Then lead the way."

Watch their leaving figures until they disappear from sight.

Angel then turned his head and looked at the camp.

At this time, the camp was still building defensive fortifications, and the sentry tower, which was only half-built yesterday, has gradually begun to be built.

The snow has been falling all night, and the surrounding snow has become thicker. Many people are clearing the snow with shovels.

By the way, the snow is also accumulated and used as part of the defense.

They also need to clean up the small wooden poles and branches around them so that they don't block their view.

"I'm leaving first. I'll leave the camp to you." Nan Subei looked at Rongrong and said.

Yang Rongrong nodded and waved.

Then Nan Subei grabbed a gray invisible cloak and covered himself, and a twisted air appeared in the snow.

Invisible footprints appeared on the snow, marking his path.

Angel was also watching not far away.

Looking at Nan Su Bei disappearing, he couldn't help but feel a bit angry, and once again raised the status of Zhuang Cai and the others from the bottom of his heart.

Needless to say, Zhuang Cai, that kind of power has completely appeared in front of them. It is very advanced and extremely lethal.

Let their muskets and firearms be like toys.

Yang Rongrong and the others have also seen her with a very advanced physique and enhanced strength. They can see that kind of strength at a glance and can hold them down and beat them.

The only thing I have never seen is Nansubei. I have heard about it from the team members who followed me before. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I can't help but be amazed.

He came over and asked, "Where is he going?"

Hearing this, Yang Rongrong glanced at him without hiding anything, and said directly: "Go and investigate the soldier's camp to see the specific situation." Angel couldn't help but nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

If their soldiers were asked to go out to do this kind of thing, they would definitely not be able to do it, and they might be gone halfway.

At this time, Yang Rongrong couldn't help but ask: "I'm very curious, is this treasure so important to you? That it makes you stay here."

After hearing Yang Rongrong's words, Angel looked at him, and then shook his head helplessly.

“For you people, you don’t understand what we think.

This is a rare opportunity for us. "

Obviously, these people in the camp have labeled Zhuang Cai and the others with a label that even they don't know.

But for such a situation, naturally I will not expose it.

“And let’s not talk about whether this treasure is precious or not, the problem is that now we don’t even have the means to leave.

The island is nowhere near the nearest coast, and we can't leave without a boat, let alone with so many of us.

When we were disposing of the corpses yesterday, we found some traces of civilization on those corpses.

This means that these indigenous savages must have some means to connect to the outside world, or at least they have boats or something, right?

Even if not, if we need to build the ship ourselves, it will take a long time to complete.

You have to risk your life to stay here anyway, so why not look for those treasures during this period? They don't conflict. "

After hearing Angel's explanation, Yang Rongrong couldn't help but nodded. It was indeed very reasonable.

If they cannot bring it into the current environment and think about the problem, they will not consider it fully.

Time passes slowly.

Yang Rongrong, who was responsible for guarding the camp, could only stay in the camp and watch the surrounding situation boredly.

From time to time, he contributes to the establishment of defensive offensives.

But she still had to conserve her physical strength, after all, she was the strongest in the entire camp.

However, the possible attack did not come. Instead, two of the three people who disappeared after the airship crashed in the sky yesterday actually appeared outside the camp supporting each other.

It seems that the condition of these two people is not very good, they can almost be said to be frozen. But it was really nice for them to come over and be spotted by the patrols.

So the current casualties of the team are the 4 deaths caused by the emergency landing at the beginning plus the current missing person.

……

the other side.

After two hours of searching and reconnaissance, Zhuang Cai and his team were almost at their destination.

Ali looked at it holding some tools that could be used to point out the direction and the map in his hand.

However, the ruins on the map were not clearly marked and were somewhat blurry, so they spent their current time.

The captain previously invited him to this island and gave him information about the island.

Now I can see that if the destination is calculated in this way, it is not far from the camp based on the straight-line distance. It would ideally only take a few dozen minutes to half an hour to walk straight.

"Okay, we should be here."

As he spoke, everyone looked at the situation in front of them.

In front of them was a ruined building built according to the hillside.

The building is surrounded by a variety of plants, and the building has long been integrated with the surrounding environment.

But you can still see some man-made objects, polished stone pillars used to build houses.

"Be careful, those cult natives will obviously also carry out activities here."

Zhuang Cai pointed to the ruins, where there were several piles of old and new fire remains.

This shows that the savage natives often rest here, and there is a wooden pole with a skull on it.

Apparently the natives considered this their territory.

There was no need for Zhuang Cai to take command. One of the six people responsible for following up took command.

They found two places with a better view around the ruins and began to be alert to the surrounding situation.

Ali and Milan went directly to the edge of the ruins and began to use the tools in their hands to remove the surrounding plants and mud, and carefully inspected it.

With the simple cleaning, Zhuang Cai was able to roughly check out these ruins.

The surface of the ruins has a very strong temple atmosphere and is full of various patterns, but these patterns have been worn away a lot with the passage of time.

And it's just a pattern, without anything that can be called words, otherwise Zhuang Cai's writing proficiency would be able to check it.

As they were cleaning up, Zhuang Cai was holding the information carried by Ali, and he was also looking at it.

Looking at these information, I couldn't help but frown.

Use the photo above to compare the surrounding situation.

With the cleaning, you can clearly see the door appearing.

The thick stone door is closed.

But in the photo, it is obvious that the door is open, and there are even some patterns. Perhaps it was taken from the situation inside the door.

Based on the surrounding environment, we can tell that the time these photos were taken was definitely not now. It is conservatively estimated that they were taken a few years ago.

In other words, the captain already knew what was going on here, but it was not until half a year ago that he began to hand over this information to Ali and invite him to explore it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say: "The captain who invited you to excavate the ruins has quite a problem."

He hid it from his subordinates and said that Ali had given him a commission to explore.

Now these photos have been marked again. He already knew the situation here, and maybe he also knew the dangers on this island, but he never explained it.

There are many things hidden.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that there are too many weapons on the spacecraft, and the various unnecessary supplies are indeed beyond my friend's plan.

Regarding Zhuang Cai's words, Ali still concentrated on the work at hand and said without looking back: "After coming here, I naturally knew it, but he is already dead, so what's the point."

After hearing this, Zhuang Cai put down the information in his hand. This was indeed true.

Everyone is dead, so there really is no point in saying this.

……

"You brought the sacrifice to the island. That's good. God will give you a gift."

In the camps of those cult natives.

Sitting on a throne made of bone and wood with some strange feathers.

The priest of the tribe picked up the scepter made of bones in his hand and said to the person in front of him.

The clothes worn by the man in front of him were obviously incompatible with the surrounding animal skins.

The logo of the airship treasure hunt group can even be seen on the clothes on his body.

Hearing the priest's words, he knelt down devoutly.

“It’s an honor to help God’s Advent.”

If there are people from the airship treasure hunting group here, they can clearly see that the person kneeling down with a pious look on his face is none other than someone else.

This is their captain.

Meseo.

The priest who looked satisfied just now suddenly hit the Qianzhang in his hand heavily on the ground, and asked in a dissatisfied voice: "Then why didn't you bring the container to God? Instead, you came back alone. ?”

"This was all an accident. Please forgive me, High Priest, and I will make up for my mistakes."

"I hope so. But at least you brought it to the island, which is good. You also brought enough blood sacrifices, so you should be rewarded."

As he spoke, the high priest stood up, stepped in front of Meseo, and placed his bone scepter on his head.

The skull on the top of the scepter was placed flat on Mesio's head, and the hollowed out nostrils of the skull were facing his forehead.

A pious mantra sounded in the midst of madness.

The blood climbed up the scepter, like a flexible snake, surrounding the scepter and pouring into the skull.

Then it dripped downward from the head of the captain, and the blood flow became larger and larger, and finally dyed the captain blood red like a water column.

A large amount of pungent bloody smell began to spread around.

Smelling this smell, the surrounding natives began to shout crazily and dance on the spot.

Facing the blood all over his body, Macio seemed to be content with it, and even raised his head slightly with a look of enjoyment on his face.

Blood coated the body.

Then the blood swam around his body like flowing snakes.

Dense red lines were imprinted on his skin, spreading from his chest to his face.

As the blood-red patterns solidified, his clothes were removed. Macio's whole appearance and temperament seemed to blend into the tribe of this cult native and became one of them.

His eyes were bleeding, and his voice could not help but become hoarse.

He lowered his head and said, "Thank you to the Blood God for his grace."

"Go, eliminate your mistakes, and please the Blood God even more. Bring the sacrifice to me.

In this way we will welcome the coming of God, and the sea of ​​blood will sweep across the world like a tsunami. "

Following his words, the surrounding tribesmen and Macio in front of him all looked enthusiastic, as if they had seen such a future.
