"Speaking of which, do you have the confidence to find the Ancient City of Jingjue? If not, let's just leave the desert!”
Kaede Poisonous Island lay weakly on the back of the white camel. They had been wandering around for a few days after Prince Gumo's ancient tomb. Since they did not lack water or food, Professor Chen and the others did not look sad at all after not making any progress for a few days. They were excitedly discussing which road to take to be lucky enough to encounter Jingjue Ancient City.
Professor Chen and the others pretended not to hear Kaede's complaints. Besides the problem of the temperature difference between day and night, they did not lack food and water. They looked as if they would not turn back until they found the Ancient City of Jingjue. Even Hu Yi and Wang Xuan, who were not part of the archeological team, thought the same. After all, finding the Ancient City of Jingjue would bring them money. Now that Kaede was here, it was only a matter of time before they found the Ancient City of Jingjue. They would not go against the reward they deserved!
"Oh, I knew it." Kaede put a hat on his head and rested on the white camel's back. He stuffed an apple into the mouth of the white camel that turned around.
"Old man Anman, how is it? Did you find anything?”Hu Yi rode the camel to An Liman's side and asked.
"No, I haven't seen any traces of the Lone Underground River.”An Liman looked around. The lifeline of the desert, the Zidu Underground River, had completely disappeared.
In the past, An Liman would definitely turn around and head back. However, this time, with Kaede Poisonous Island, the messenger of God who provided unlimited food and water, he was also eager to charge into this death zone where there was no chance of survival. Therefore, he was very careful when searching.
"Show me the map."
Taking the map in his hand, An Liman carefully compared their location and was suddenly a little confused.
"That's not right. It should be nearby. Why can't I find it?”
"I say, is this map of yours real?”
An Liman said unhappily. There was definitely something wrong with the map. Otherwise, they would have found the place of the Zagramma Valley by now.
"This, wait, I'll go ask!”Hu Yi didn't know what to say. No one in this group knew the desert better than An Liman. Moreover, An Liman didn't slack off these days. It could be said that the location of the Zagrema Valley wasn't here, or it was buried by the wind and sand. Otherwise, An Liman wouldn't have said such words.
Hu Yi was about to find Yang Li to ask about the location of Jingjue Ancient City. Unexpectedly, Kaede Poisonous Island, who was lying on the back of the white camel like a salted fish, suddenly cried out. It turned out that he saw something unusual in the distance.
"An Liman, there's a situation over there. Lead the team to your left and advance in a straight line.”
Alright, Lord Ye Feng." An Liman did as Kaede Poisonous Island said without thinking, and the whole team turned to the left.
"Brother Ye, what did you find?”Wang Xuan went to Kaede's side and looked into the distance. Why didn't he notice anything there?
"You'll know when you get there. It should be the Zagramma Valley you're looking for.”Kaede Poisonous Island said weakly.
Kaede's vision was much better than the others. After walking for nearly half an hour, Hu Yi and Yang Li finally saw a black mountain range that looked like a black dragon lying on the ground.
At the same time, the compasses in their hands were spinning non-stop. They had already lost their functions.
"That's right, that's the Zagramma Valley. The notebook records that this is a huge magnetic mountain, so the compass will fail here.”Yang Li was delighted. This black valley was exactly the same as the photo in the notebook. It was definitely the black magnetic mountain that surrounded the Ancient City of Jingjue.
"Phew, we're finally here. We'll be able to leave this secluded place in a few days!”Compared to the cheers of the others, Kaede Poisonous Island was happy that since they had found the Ancient City of Jingjue, they would be able to leave the desert soon. They would be able to leave this desert that was barren and only had sand.
Although they had already found the Ancient City of Jingjue, it was still far away. The group of ten people and camels had to hurry and arrive in front of the huge Black Magnetic Mountain just as the stars had appeared.
The black magnetic mountain was like a black dragon lying in the desert, exuding a majestic aura. It seemed to be a remnant of the ancient times, and it was daunting.
The only flaw was that this black dragon that stretched for countless kilometers seemed to have been cut in half by a sharp blade. A narrow path led from head to tail, and the black rocks and cliffs made this path look like the Pylorus Pass at night.
"Phew, we're finally here. I think we should take advantage of the fact that everyone's spirits are still high enough to cross this valley before we rest!”Hu Yi suggested. Although the stars were already hanging high in the sky, the afterglow of the sun was still lingering in the horizon.
"I think so!" Yang Li said excitedly. Their destination was on the other side of the canyon. She felt uneasy stopping here at this time.
Professor Chen and the other national archaeologists nodded in agreement.
However, they overlooked one thing, and that was the reaction of the camels they were riding on.
No matter how hard Hu Yi and the others tried to drive the camels, the camels did not dare to take another step forward. It was as if there was a giant beast's bloody mouth in front of them. If it were not for their master, An Liman, and Kaede Poisonous Island, they would definitely have scattered.
"Old man Andrew, what happened to the camels?”Hu Yi shouted loudly. The camel that was usually so obedient was not listening to him at all now. It seemed to be very flustered.
"They're afraid. There's something in front of them, something even more terrifying than the wolves.”An Liman's expression was solemn. Even if his camels encountered a wolf pack, they would still dare to rush up and fight.(Wolves were not common in the desert, and there were at most four or five of them, which was why An Liman's camels had the courage to fight with wolves.) Now that they were so afraid, it meant that there was definitely something very dangerous ahead.
" Lord Ye, look!" An Liman turned to look at Kaede Poisonous Island with a pleading look in his eyes. Camels were his life, and he didn't want his camels to die here.
Kaede got off the white camel and said excitedly," An Liman, take Old Hu and the camels and run further away. I'll go and see what's ahead!"”
"Hey, hey, hey, my lord. It's dangerous ahead. We should retreat first. We'll pass through here tomorrow at noon. Almost all the desert creatures won't come out at noon. It's safer to go in then!”
An Liman was anxious. He jumped off the camel and ran in front of Kaede Poisonous Island. If anything happened to Kaede Poisonous Island, who knew if he was God's messenger or God's illegitimate son, God would definitely throw the fire on him.
Kaede Poisonous Island frowned slightly and wanted to step aside from An Liman, but who knew that An Liman would rush forward and hug him. Because the two of them were too close and it happened so suddenly, Kaede Poisonous Island was really hugged by An Liman.
"An Liman, let go. If you don't let go, I won't be polite!”Kaede Poisonous Island was speechless. What was going on? It would be more appropriate if he was hugged by a beautiful woman with perky breasts.
"I won't let go. Sir, you can't go. You absolutely can't go!”An Liman said in a muffled voice as he hugged Kaede Poisonous Island's leg tightly.
"Hahaha, Brother Ye, look at how much Old Master An Liman cares about you. Just give in to him, hahaha!”Hu Yi teased as he rode his camel over.
Other than Hu Yi, the others also came over because the camels under them did not listen to their orders and kept retreating. Soon, they retreated behind Kaede Poisonous Island.
"Kid, are you itching for a beating? Come down and pull him away.”Kaede Poisonous Island threatened in a low voice. If it wasn't for the fact that An Liman was hugging him so tightly that he was afraid of hurting Kaede Poisonous Island, Kaede Poisonous Island would have been able to escape in a minute.
"Yes, yes, yes. Right away, right away."
Hu Yi quivered and immediately got off the camel's back. He really did not dare to take Kaede Poisonous Island's punch. Two nights ago, the few of them had come to compete in martial arts out of boredom. Kaede Poisonous Island had single-handedly defeated the other five men in the team except for the two old men and two women.
From then on, Kaede Poisonous Island was the boss of the team, and no one dared to fight with him.
Hu Yigang had just walked to Kaede's side when the camels suddenly screamed and ran backward.
Before Hu Yi could turn his head, Kaede Poisonous Island's left hand suddenly pressed his head down. Caught off guard, he staggered and fell face-down beside Kaede Poisonous Island's feet.
Kaede Poisonous Island's right hand didn't stop moving either. A cold, straight blade suddenly appeared in his hand. It drew a silver-white lightning bolt in the air and made a few crisp sounds in the air.
"Pui pui, brother Ye, what are you doing, making me chew sand for no reason.”Hu Yi muttered unhappily, his mouth full of sand.
"Alright, if I don't let you chew the sand, you'll have to go to hell to drink Granny Meng's soup.”Kaede Poisonous Island stabbed his sword into the sand and patted An Liman's back." An Liman, get up. The camels have sensed danger. It's time to leave."”
"Eh, oh." An Liman stood up with a whoosh. The shiny blade almost cut his face. It was too scary!
"Danger? Where is it?" Hu Yi asked curiously. Why didn't he feel anything just now? Well, not counting the suffocating feeling when Kaede Poisonous Island pressed his hand on his head, that was from Kaede Poisonous Island.
"There, those black snakes!”Kaede turned on a flashlight and shone it in front of him. There were a few black finger-sized snakes. Their triangular heads were extremely poisonous, and there was something like a cockscomb on their heads.
Some of these snakes had their bodies cut in half, and some had their heads cut in half. It was obvious that they were not going to live. However, they had not taken their last breath, and their incomplete snake bodies kept twisting on the sand.
