Zhang Lei and the Exquisite Queen, Flying Snow, talked for an entire night. They learned a lot of useful things and had more mysteries in their minds.
However, there was one thing that he was certain of. The Yin Eye of the Turbid Nine Yin was indeed in the ghost cave under the ancient city. Although this Yin Eye only had the soul body left behind by the Turbid Nine Yin, it was still extremely powerful.
Zhang Lei felt that he might not be able to defeat him. So, when Professor Chen and the others were excitedly preparing to enter the city, he tried his best to persuade them not to enter the city.
However, Professor Chen said," Zhang Lei, you don't have to persuade me anymore. Although you haven't been with me for a long time, you should know me very well. As an archaeologist, I've spent my whole life studying the culture of the Western Regions. Today, the Ancient City of Jingjue is right in front of me. No matter how dangerous it is, I have to go in even if I have to throw my old life here. Otherwise, I won't die in peace."”
Professor Chen's attitude was unusually firm. Zhang Lei was a little helpless, but he really didn't want to see them die.
Yes, Zhang Lei felt that they were courting death. He didn't know what kind of danger was hidden in Jingjue City, but he knew one thing:
In the original novel, the difficulty was only normal, and the archeological team suffered heavy losses. Ye Yixin and the others all died in it, and Professor Chen himself almost went crazy.
Now that they were in a level three world, it was a nightmare level difficulty. Moreover, the greatest danger was already known, and that was the Yin Eye of the Turbid Nine Yin.
Even if this ancient beast only had a soul and a Yin Eye left, it was not something that ordinary people like Professor Chen could resist. If they entered, the probability of death was more than 99%.
No matter how strong Zhang Lei was, it was hard to say whether the Cold Moon Saber would be effective against an existence like the Turbid Nine Yin. The only thing he could rely on was his mysterious but unreliable bloodline. As for the System, Zhang Lei ignored it directly. It was too unreliable. In times of crisis, it would either sleep or remain silent.
"Professor, I know you're obsessed with archeology, but we found the Ancient City of Jingjue this time, plus the murals and weapons we found yesterday. It's enough for you to study for a while. We should report the matter in the city and let the country send the army to deal with it.”
Zhang Lei did not give up and continued to persuade her.
However, Professor Chen was determined to go in no matter what. However, he also knew that there might be unknown dangers in the city. He hoped that he could go in alone and ask the others not to go in.
However, Yang Xueli was the first to say that she had to go in. On the surface, she said that she had to go in to find her father, but in fact, she had a reason: For the curse.
To her, if she could not remove the curse, she would not live past forty years old anyway.
As soon as Yang Xueli opened her mouth, Hao Aiguo also said that he was the professor's assistant. Wherever the professor was, he would be there. No one needed to persuade him.
In the end, Sa Dipeng and Ye Yixin were also curious about the ancient city. They had traveled thousands of miles to reach the city gate, so how could they not go in?
Commander Hu and Commander Wang were also eager to give it a try. Yesterday, Zhang Lei had given them a few priceless treasures. They felt that if they could get such a harvest outside, there would definitely be more treasures in the city, so they also wanted to go in.
Zhang Lei was really tired and had no other choice. He knew that even if he told them the truth that there was a dangerous turbid nine yin inside, they would probably have to go.
The people of this era were actually very stubborn. The archaeologists were similar to grave robbers. They were actually very bold. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to accompany those ancient corpses all day long.
In the end, other than An Liman, who refused to go in even if he was beaten to death, the rest of the people prepared themselves and set off to enter the city.
Zhang Lei didn't try to persuade them anymore. He had already done his part anyway. They insisted on going in. When the time came, they would save him if they could. If there was really no other way, they could only live and die according to fate.
The valley was not far from the ancient city, and the group soon arrived at the city gate. The city gate had long collapsed, so they could only find a gap in the city wall to enter the city.
The city was in ruins, dead silent, as if there was no life at all.
The houses in the city had basically collapsed and were basically covered in yellow sand. Some streets could only be vaguely recognized.
They walked along the streets and occasionally found some dilapidated houses that were exposed outside. They went in to take a look, but there was only yellow sand inside. There was not even a dried corpse, let alone any rare treasures.
Commander Hu and Commander Wang were bored, but Professor Chen and the others seemed to be interested in everything in the ancient city. They could even look at a broken wall for a long time. They felt helpless and could only talk to themselves.
Yang Xueli wasn't actually interested in these things. She just patiently followed behind the professor and said a few words.
Zhang Lei was not in a hurry to rush them. He stayed at the back and watched the surroundings vigilantly. Professor Chen and the others obviously did not treat Zhang Lei as an archaeology student anymore, so they did not call him.
It wasn't until more than two hours later that the team reached the center of the city. At this time, a tall black tower stood in front of them.
As soon as they saw the black tower, the professor and the others immediately became interested and no longer paid attention to the other broken houses. They excitedly pointed at the black tower and began to comment.
Everyone felt that this tower was so tall that it must have been an important place back then. Perhaps they could find something like a milestone.
The situation in the Black Tower was actually similar to the original novel. There was nothing else except for some stone statues. Zhang Lei was a little disappointed. He originally guessed that the Queen's seven spirits might be in the Black Tower, but the Queen's three spirits didn't sense his seven spirits, which meant that they weren't here.
Professor Chen and the others studied in the black tower for another hour before they were willing to leave. Zhang Lei was too lazy to dawdle and simply let the Queen's Path take them to the location of the temple.
He knew very well that these guys would not stop until they found the palace. Instead of wasting time, he might as well take them directly.
As for danger, it was only a matter of time.
