Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 40
Lao Yan didn't follow his tricks, and only said that with Professor Yu leading them, everyone would naturally not have a short life!
After hearing what he said, Yu Chengze's expression froze instantly, and then he wanted to take a rest on the grounds of physical discomfort.

After he entered the tent, I asked Lao Yan if the forest in front of him was weird?
"Well, you have to be more careful tomorrow." Lao Yan said that according to the original route, we don't need to pass through this forest, obviously Yu Chengze brought us here on purpose.

The blind man asked puzzledly: "What is he going to do? If it is to excavate the ancient country, shouldn't the cooperation of the country be needed more?"

Lao Yan shook his head, and said somewhat disappointedly: "I'm afraid it has ulterior motives! It's alright, don't hang around here anymore, get a good night's rest, I'm afraid there will be a tough battle tomorrow."

After speaking, he returned to the tent first.

The rest of the people saw him leave, chatted casually for a few words and then left, but the blind man looked at me a few times and asked what happened along the way, and seemed to be quite interested in me.

I briefly said a few words about what happened on the road, and the blind man said in surprise: "You guys actually encountered these things?"

I didn't say much, because when I thought of this, I thought of Company Commander Chen, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

The blind man patted me on the shoulder and said that it was my luck that I got here, so let me be careful.

"Well, I'm going to rest first." I was not interested in talking about this topic, so I greeted the poisonous snake and went back to the tent together.

After returning to the tent, the poisonous snake's face darkened, and I hurriedly asked him what's wrong?
After the two teams merged, he said very little, and now this appearance made me even more puzzled.

The poisonous snake glanced outside, and said in a low voice: "Since we know that the professor is fake, why should we follow? I'm sure this road is more dangerous."

"Isn't our road before us dangerous?" I shook my head with a smile: "It's not that we have to follow, but we have to! Think about it, if Yu Chengze did all the things we did before, it would be great for us to be separated from him What's the good, he wants to make the tripper still able to do it."

That's why Lao Yan and I didn't care about it. At least Yu Chengze was in our team, and he couldn't run away when he was in danger. Before he hurt us, he always had to worry about it.

The poisonous snake didn't speak, but his expression remained unchanged, and he lay on the side sleeping sullenly.

I sighed softly, lay on the side, tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep, many things passed through my mind like a lantern, and I fell asleep for a while after tossing around in the middle of the night.

"Yu Chengze!"

When the roar came, I was fast asleep, and sat up in shock from such a roar.

The poisonous snake was no longer in the tent. I rubbed my eyes and walked out, only to find that the sky had just turned white, and everyone except me was surrounded by it. It looked like I had just woken up...

And among them are Lao Yan and Yu Chengze, the two are confronting each other, seeing Lao Yan's furious look, they don't know what happened.

"what happened?"

I leaned over to the poisonous snake and asked in a low voice. He shook his head and said he didn't know. After he came out, he heard Lao Yan roar.

Lao Yan's chest heaved up and down, and the hand that pointed at Yu Chengze trembled, and he was speechless for a long time.But Yu Chengze's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Why are you so angry, I also want to find the ancient country."

"Fart!" Lao Yan swears directly: "You look for your ancient country, don't use my people as experiments!"

My face changed when I heard that, could it be because of the previous incident?That's not right, we clearly know that Yu Chengze is uneasy and kind, and Lao Yan doesn't intend to tear his face, so why is he suddenly attacking now?
Yu Chengze glanced at Lao Yan, with a fanatical expression on his face: "For the sake of civilization, sacrifices must be made."

Lao Yan was wheezing, obviously very angry, I hurried over to hold his arm, and whispered in his ear: "Lao Yan, calm down."

He glanced at me, he didn't know if he was moved by my words or what, his face was not as ugly as before, but it wasn't much better either.I saw him glaring at Yu Chengze, without saying anything, he just flung his sleeves and entered the tent.

The rest of the people were at a loss, not understanding what happened?But Yu Chengze obviously didn't mean to explain, just let us rest for another hour, and we must set off when the sun just comes out.

I originally planned to ask Lao Yan, but he was in the same tent as Yu Chengze, and I couldn't go in directly, so I could only suppress my doubts.

After an hour, everyone was ready. Yu Chengze pointed to the forest in front and said that if he passed through this forest, he didn't know what was behind him, so let us all be careful.

Lao Yan was depressed all the time, until he entered the forest, he found a chance to whisper in my ear: "I'm afraid he's going to make a move!"

I looked at Lao Yan in surprise. He said with a dark face that he found out early this morning that Yu Chengze wanted to put a kind of bug on Wu Da's body. Although he didn't know what it was, he obviously had no good intentions.

"Does Da Wu know?"

I looked at Wu Da who was walking in front. Wu Da didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't seem to know that he was being plotted against.

Sure enough, Lao Yan shook his head and was only seen by him at that time, and Yu Chengze didn't let it go, and he didn't say anything in order not to cause panic.It's just that Yu Chengze didn't give up, and discussed with him that he must sacrifice a few people for the sake of the ancient country.

I feel something is wrong, logically speaking, shouldn't Yu Chengze know where the ancient country is?

Lao Yan pressed his temples and he didn't know. Ever since Yu Chengze took the initiative to deliver it to his door, he was a little confused about the other party's intentions.

"I originally thought that he did those things on our way to force us to retreat, but now he suddenly appeared, why?" Lao Yan muttered.

We chatted for a while, seeing that we had already entered the forest, we stopped talking and observed the surrounding environment carefully.

But after walking for 2 minutes, I had an ominous premonition, it was too quiet...

Although the desert is not like other places, there are not many birds and insects in the woods, but it is impossible that there is no sound, not even the sound of leaves.

I looked up and looked at the trees around me. These trees were all withered. They looked tall, but they would fall down when I pushed them. The scattered leaves on the trunks were also withered.But occasionally a few new shoots can be seen, which makes the forest look less lifeless.

When I was looking at it, I suddenly saw something floating past. I reached out and grabbed it, only to see a few white seed-like things in the palm of my hand.

"Is this the seed of this tree?"

I asked a question, Lao Yan took it and looked at it and said it was wrong, how could these dead trees have seeds?

We haven't researched anything yet, the blind man suddenly asked: "What is so fragrant?"

fragrant?
I sniffed, and sure enough, I smelled a faint fragrance, which was so refreshing that people couldn't help but want to get closer.

"Go and see."

Lao Yan patted the seeds off his hand, and walked forward following the scent.

The scent is actually not strong, but it's easy to find a blind man on this road. He can't see his eyes, but his other senses are very sensitive. This scent is very strong for him.

But as time went on, I noticed that the aroma was getting stronger, and I had caught more and more white seeds before.

"Is this scent coming from this seed?"

I casually stretched out my hand towards the air, grabbed a handful of seeds, put it on my nose and smelled it, and indeed I smelled a faint fragrance.

"Poisonous snake, can you tell what kind of seed this is?" Lao Yan called the poisonous snake to his side, and pointed to the seed in my palm.

The poisonous snake picked up a seed, crushed it slowly and looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said that there seems to be no such tree in Xinjiang, but the scent is strange and seems to have an alluring effect.

What he said is good. After smelling this fragrance, I really hope to follow the fragrance all the way. It seems that there is something in front of me that is attracting me.

Lao Yan hummed, collected all the seeds in my palm, and then waved his hands to make everyone speed up.

"No need to speed up." I took two steps and pointed to a place about 20 meters ahead: "Look at that!"

Everyone looked up at the place I was pointing at, and then Qiqi took a deep breath—right there, a huge tree was standing in the yellow sand.
