Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 53 The Rising Ancient Country

Lao Yan snorted: "I mean Professor Yu. Speaking of which, our main task is to rescue you. Since you are fine, you must obey the orders of your superiors and go back with us. If you dare to disobey, I have the right to shoot you down!"

Yu Chengze's face darkened, and he stared at Lao Yan for a while: "How dare you destroy me? I'm the only one who can find the Ancient Night Kingdom in this world."

"Really?" Lao Yan disagreed: "The shooting range of the Air Force experiment was recorded in the record, and if you can't find it temporarily, it doesn't mean you will never find it."

Yu Chengze sneered twice, saying that the ancient country of Changye could not be found with the coordinates recorded by those trash.

Lao Yan said indifferently that if he couldn't find it, he couldn't find it, and people couldn't be lost, anyway, you had to go back with us.

After speaking, he directly took the gun in his hand, much like Yu Chengze dared to shake his head and pull the trigger!

Yu Chengze was very angry, at least since I saw him, he rarely lost control of his emotions, and his hand was shaking as he pointed at Lao Yan: "Do you understand what civilization is? If you can find the ancient country of Eternal Night, it will be unrivaled." civilization, you you you..."

He didn't say a word for a long time, and he looked like a professor who was willing to die for the civilization of the ancient country.

Lao Yan didn't talk nonsense with him, he loaded the gun directly: "Stop talking nonsense, should we go or not?"

Yu Chengze stared at Lao Yan with wide eyes, he probably didn't expect that the latter would force him with such a bandit attitude.In fact, I didn't expect that Lao Yan has always been very calm, but now he looks a bit quack.

The blind man on the side seemed to have gotten used to it, and had already started to pack his things. It looked like he wasn't worried about what would happen to Lao Yan at all.

However, there was nothing wrong with it. Under the muzzle of the black hole, Yu Chengze nodded no matter how unwilling he was. Fortunately, he didn't have any luggage to pack, so he stabbed Lao Yan angrily and said he was spineless, and then fell asleep. up.

After we packed up our things, Lao Yan let us sleep.

In the middle of the night, I was sleeping in a daze when I was suddenly woken up by a force.I was about to get up, but my arm was pinned down by this force, and then I heard the poisonous snake lower its voice: "It's me."

"What's the matter?" Seeing his appearance, I was startled that something had happened, and immediately replied in a low voice.

The poisonous snake stuffed something into my hand and whispered in my ear to let me eat it.

I still wanted to ask something, but I saw him quietly moving to the blind man again, so I swallowed the words, and then chewed and ate the herb that the poisonous snake gave me.

When I woke up early the next morning, before I had a chance to ask what the viper gave me yesterday, I saw that Yu Chengze, who usually looked like a gentleman, had already prepared breakfast. The rare thing is that he didn't know where he got it from. There is still a pot of rice, and they even cooked a pot of porridge for us.

Although we are not picky about what we eat, since we entered the desert, we have always eaten dry compressed biscuits. Our stomachs have long been unable to bear it, and now we can't help but swallow our saliva when we smell the porridge.

"Drink, I only have this little rice left." Yu Chengze divided the porridge. Although each person only had half a bowl, it was enough to make us excited.

Lao Yan chuckled twice: "Professor Yu, you're not adding material to us, are you?"

Apparently, Lao Yan was thinking about the matter of the red quill eggs last time. When he said that, I looked at the porridge in the bowl and felt like I was looking at arsenic, and it was difficult to swallow for a while.

Yu Chengze's expression remained unchanged, he just said in a choked voice: "You don't need to drink."

But Lao Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's rare for Professor Yu to cook in person, how can I not show face?"

After speaking, he took the lead in holding the bowl and drank it in big gulps, but he just glanced at me before drinking.

Thinking of the herbs that the poisonous snake gave me yesterday, and what Lao Yan said just now, if I don't understand what he wants to do, I don't have to give up my brain.

So after seeing Lao Yan and the others drink the porridge and pour it down, I also cooperated and fell aside, and even for the sake of truth, I didn't even care about the little porridge left in the bowl dripping on my body.

After pretending to be unconscious, I could feel Yu Chengze wandering around us, and then patted my face, as if to confirm whether we were really unconscious.

After a few minutes, he should be relieved, turned around and left the tent, just as I was about to open my eyes and ask what Lao Yan was up to, I heard a slight voice from beside me: Don't move!
My movement of opening my eyes stopped immediately, and at the same time I heard the sound of the tent being opened again, obviously it was Yu Chengze who had left and returned.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lao Yan reminded me, otherwise I would be caught right now!

Yu Chengze didn't stay long this time, but he went out in a minute or two, but this time I didn't dare to be rash, I still closed my eyes after he left, and I waited for about ten minutes before I heard Lao Yan say that I could get up.

"Old Smoke..."

"Don't ask now, just follow up."

I opened my mouth to ask something, but Lao Yan interrupted me directly, and quickly put on my backpack. Fortunately, we packed our luggage last night, so we won't waste any time now.

Yu Chengze had only walked for more than ten minutes, so we quickly followed him, but in order not to let him find out, we just hung far behind, as long as we could see his back.

After catching up with Yu Chengze, I couldn't wait to ask Lao Yan what he was going to do.

Lao Yan glanced at Yu Chengze in front of him: "He doesn't want to go to the ancient country of Changye with us."

"But since he didn't want to, why did he take the initiative to come here before? If he didn't come here by himself, we shouldn't be able to find him, right?" I was a little puzzled.

Lao Yan sneered and said that he had been thinking about why Xiao Wu died during this time, and later he understood that Yu Chengze was not so much trying to scare us away with these monsters as he was using the lives of our people to sacrifice These monsters.

"What do you mean?" Not only me, but even the blind man on the side had a somewhat dazed expression on his face.

Lao Yan's face was condensed, and he said slowly: "It's not that I haven't been in the desert, but don't you think there are too many things along the way?"

The poisonous snake and I have no right to speak, but the blind man nodded: "My side is fine, but if your side is the same as what you said, the number of these ghost things is indeed wrong. This kind of thing also has a territory, which makes no sense. Concentrate on this path."

"That's right, so I suspect that these things are all related to the ancient kingdom of the long night, and to find the ancient kingdom of the long night, we must fight against these things. This can also explain why Yu Chengze guides our route for a while, and sends us to the monster's mouth for a while!" Lao Yan quickly analyzed: "I suspect that the giant spiders encountered in the past two days are already the last wave, but because we didn't get caught by the spiders, and he didn't know why he was a little anxious, so he did it himself, you guys Don’t you think the spider last night was too easy to deal with? And according to the map, the destination should be around here, so he wants to leave us to find the ancient country alone, so I will give him a chance, Save him and take us around in the desert."

It turned out to be like this...

After listening to Lao Yan's explanation, some incomprehensible things can be straightened out. It seems that we have been manipulated by him since we met the red-tailed scorpion. Even he was found to let the blind man and others join us , so that we can go to thunder him together.

And when he came back yesterday afternoon, there was an explanation for the dirt on his body. It should be left when he was fighting with the spider...

"How do you know he's going to prescribe the medicine? You can also make the poisonous snake prepare the antidote in advance." I said in bewilderment, what if Yu Chengze directly killed us with cruel hands?

Lao Yan sneered and said it's impossible, even if Yu Chengze is not human, he can't reach the sky, there are four people on our side that he can't deal with at all, as for the medicine...

"This is the easiest way. As for the medicine he used, it's because we checked everything on him when he was rescued, so he must have done it on the way. Is there anything that can be done on the way?" Poison, poisonous snake is the clearest." Lao Yan patted the shoulder of poisonous snake with a chuckle, and the latter also smiled, obviously very proud of his profession.

"I suspect that Xiao Wu discovered this." Lao Yan took a puff of cigarette and sighed slightly: "Maybe he accidentally broke through Yu Chengze's trick that night, so he was silenced!"

Our complexions are not very good. When we think that all the sacrificed people have become Yu Chengze's stepping stones, we feel bored and panic.Old Yan was not happy either, he stomped the cigarette butt into the sand angrily: "We must enter the ancient country this time, we must find out what he is, and bring out the treasures from the ancient country to the country."

"Yes!"

We agreed together, and then continued to follow Yu Chengze.

I don’t know if it’s because he is very confident in his poison, so he only cares about the road along the way, the speed is very fast, and he doesn’t pay attention to us who are following behind. This is undoubtedly a good thing for us.

But just like what Lao Yan said, I never encountered anything terrible along the way with Yu Chengze, and the calmness made me feel unreal.

We followed Yu Chengze for two full days. On the evening of the second day, he stopped in a vast desert with no vegetation around.

I saw him take out a stick-shaped thing from his arms, measure something on the ground, and put something down every 30 meters.After putting about seven or eight of them in this way, he stopped, walked to the middle of the circle surrounded by these things, cut his hand, blood dripped on the sand little by little, and then he started to move.

I can't describe his movements, it looks like a set of dances, but it's more like some sacrificial dances of ethnic minorities, which looks very weird.

He danced very seriously, even from afar I could see the piety on his face!
He danced this set of dances for half an hour, then he knelt down towards the setting sun, his head hit the sand and remained motionless.

Following his movements, I saw a picture that I will never forget in my life --- I saw a magnificent palace slowly rising from the yellow sand with the sound of chains clattering, and behind it was Slowly sinking sunset.

The comparison of the two makes me faintly feel that this palace was born from the sun...
