"Sir, what kind of monster is this?”An Liman jumped in fright and hid behind Kaede Poisonous Island. This strange snake was too terrifying.
Kaede Poisonous Island rolled his eyes. He had explained many times that he had nothing to do with the heavens, but An Liman still stubbornly regarded him as a messenger of the heavens or an illegitimate child.
"How would I know? This is the first time I've seen these things. They suddenly came out of the sand just now.”If it wasn't for the fact that I could sense their life force, I would have been bitten by this sudden attack.
"This strange snake looks too strange!”Hu Yi looked at these black snakes with interest. Curiosity drove him to take a step forward.
However, just as he took a step forward, one of the strange snakes closest to him, which only had half of its body left, suddenly jumped up from the ground. The two blood-red poisonous fangs in the black snake's mouth kept enlarging in front of his eyes.
" F * ck, this is a tragedy. I can't do what I promised Brother Ye to bring him back to the old man. And her," Hu Yi thought with grief and indignation. He still had a lot of things to do. He didn't want to die!
Just as he was in despair, a small knife slid across his cheek. He could even feel the cold texture of the knife.
The knife grazed his cheek and hit the black snake's body. He stabbed it into the sand. At the same time, a large hand pulled Hu Yi's clothes and pulled him back. Another crescent moon flashed in front of him as he leaned back.
After a while, Hu Yicai regained his senses. He thanked Kaede Poisonous Island, who had saved his life again." Brother Ye, you saved me again. In the future, as long as you say the word and don't do anything outrageous, I won't hesitate."”
Looking at the dead body of the strange snake on the sand, if Kaede Poisonous Island had not reacted in time, he would have paid the price for his recklessness with his life. He was not naive enough to think that the venom of this strange snake would not kill him.
"Just don't forget what you promised me. You can't help me with anything else.”Kaede Poisonous Island said softly.
"Don't worry, I won't forget it. If the old man doesn't agree to it when I go back, I'll steal that secret technique and give it to you!”Hu Yi patted his chest and promised.
"Hehe, there's no need for that. I believe that no matter what, your old man will agree to let me learn it.”Kaede smiled as he shook his head. He was confident that he could make Old Master Hu agree.
"Old Hu, Brother Ye, what are you doing? Why are you using a knife? Old Hu, are you hurt?"
Wang Xuan ran over in a flash and pulled Hu Yi's arm to see if he was injured. Just now, because the camels suddenly turned around and ran, when he calmed the camels down, he saw Kaede Poisonous Island slash in front of Hu Yi with a knife. He was scared to death.
"Xuan Zi, I'm fine. It's all thanks to Brother Ye's knife just now. Otherwise, if you still want to see me, you'll have to be at the Bridge of Helplessness!”Hu Yi said with a lingering fear. Who the f * ck would have thought that the strange snake could still be so aggressive after being cut in half? It was also so fast that he could not react in time.
"What exactly happened?" Wang Xuan was about to speak when Yang Li said what he wanted to ask.
"It's this kind of strange snake. It appeared out of nowhere and was cut in half by brother Ye. I thought it was fine and wanted to get closer to take a look. Who would have thought that it could jump up and bite people after being cut in half. If brother Ye didn't react quickly and decisively, I would have been poisoned by their snake venom.”
Hu Yi turned on the flashlight and shone it on the snake that was nailed to the ground by Kaede Poisonous Island's knife. Only the snake was still alive.
Everyone looked at the struggling half of the snake and thought that Hu Yi was really lucky. Such a distinctive and terrifying snake would definitely die if it was bitten.
"We'll set up camp outside tonight. We'll go take a look tomorrow at noon. These snakes shouldn't come out at noon.”Kaede Poisonous Island said.
No one in the team had any objections. After all, the temperature in the desert was the highest at noon. Other than camels, which could still withstand the heat, the other animals had to find a place to avoid the heat. Otherwise, they would be in danger of dying from the sun.
This strange snake was completely black, so it should be most afraid of the midday sun. Thinking about it, noon was definitely the safest time.
"Speaking of which, how poisonous is this snake?”Wang Xuan was very curious as he looked at the half-dead snake. Of course, he did not dare to take the risk. The antidote team only brought a little bit, and he knew if it would be useful for this kind of snake.
"I don't know the specifics, but it's definitely stronger than the most common desert rattlesnake.”Kaede Poisonous Island said after some thought. Even though the life force of the half-snake was rapidly declining, it still gave him a greater sense of danger than a desert rattlesnake.
Wang Xuan's body jolted and he retreated. A bite from a desert rattlesnake was enough to kill him. If he was bitten by this strange snake, he would definitely be finished. Kaede Poisonous Island's judgment was unquestionable.
Everyone quickly retreated. Fortunately, although the camels were frightened, they did not flee in all directions in panic. They were all gathered a hundred meters away.
However, Hu Yi and the others still felt that this distance was not safe. They retreated a few hundred meters before setting up camp with some peace of mind.
The night was quiet. Everyone went to rest after dinner. They were worried about tomorrow's schedule. What if the snake came out in broad daylight?
Under the scorching sun, the group of people carefully crossed the valley with steep black rock walls on both sides. It seemed like An Liman and Poison Island Kaede were right. Not a single strange snake appeared along the way, and the camels were not scared either.
After passing through the valley, there was still a vast expanse of yellow sand as far as the eye could see. It was as if there were no traces of humans at all.
However, the oddly shaped weathered rocks that stood in the desert made Professor Chen ecstatic. This was because these weathered rocks were the remnants of the ancient city's buildings. Although they were beyond recognition, there were still traces of artificial carving.
"This is it. This is the Jingjue Ancient City. The tomb of the Queen of Jingjue must be under this land.”
"Founding a country, let's split up and look for it. The Queen of Jingjue is like a god of Jingjue. Her tomb must be built under this city, and the entrance must be in the temple of Jingjue, the temple that worships their god. To the people of Jingjue who have faith, the temple must be very large, so we should still be able to find it on the ground. If we find it, we can explore the Queen of Jingjue's tomb. There must be many historical relics and national treasures inside!”
Kaede Poisonous Island was surprised that Professor Chen had said so much in one breath. It was difficult for an old man who was over sixty years old to say so much in one breath.
"Yes, yes, yes. Teacher, find a place to rest first. Leave the matter of finding the temple to us young people!”Hao Jianguo was also shocked by Professor Chen's words." Teacher, your health is more important. Don't be too agitated. Calm down."
" Xiao Ye, stay behind and take care of the teacher. I'll go with Xiao Sa. Chu Jian."
Just as Hao Jianguo opened his mouth, Hu Yi pushed Wang Xuan out and said,"Xuan Zi, you and Chu Jian go all the way to find him!"”
Wang Xuan was puzzled. He didn't want to go to the temple. If he wanted to go, he would go with his best friend, Hu Yi. Why was Hu Yi pushing him out now?
What Hu Yi did next made Wang Xuan understand what he meant. Hu Yi licked his lips and invited Yang Li." Miss Yang, let's go and look for it together."”
Yang Li didn't comment on it. She and Hu Yi went in a direction to look for the ruins of the buildings.
"Humph, you value sex over friends!" Wang Xuan snorted coldly. He was a fellow who forgot his brothers when he had a woman.
"What are you looking at? Let's go!" Wang Xuan angrily patted Chu Jian, who had come over, and took the lead to walk in a direction.
Kaede Poisonous Island and An Liman did not join the search team. They only needed to leave Jingjue City after Professor Chen and the others finished their archaeological exam. Therefore, the two of them were not enthusiastic about finding the temple of Jingjue Nation or the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue.
They walked to the shadow of a large building ruins. Kaede lay down on the sand to rest. An Liman brought his camels over to enjoy the rare shade of the desert.
After Hu Yi and the others left, Ye Yixin walked over with Professor Chen.
"Comrade Xiao Ye, you don't seem to be in a good mood!”Perhaps he had finally found Jingjue Ancient City. Professor Chen was very energetic now and could not calm down at all. Hao Jianguo and the others did not allow him to run around, so he could only grab Kaede Poisonous Island to talk.
"That's normal. I'm not interested in archeology or history. There's nothing good in there anyway. It's just a bunch of useless luxury goods.”Kaede Poisonous Island said without opening his eyes. There was nothing in Queen Jing Jue's mausoleum that he would be interested in. At least, he didn't think there was.
"Ugh!" Professor Chen choked and didn't know what to say. Did he have to be so direct? I didn't know what to say.
Since he couldn't answer, he might as well not answer. Professor Chen couldn't stop talking and continued to talk.
"The Queen of Jingjue was the last ruler of Jingjue Country before it disappeared. There must be a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in her tomb. Of course, Comrade Ye, you definitely won't be interested in those things.”
Professor Chen continued," The most valuable part is the cultural representation of the Jingjue Country. Every bit of it is of extraordinary value to us in exploring the culture of the ancient Jingjue people.”
"However, it is said that Queen Jingjue's coffin was made of Kunlun wood.”
"It is said that this divine tree will not rot even after being cut down for hundreds of years.”
"It is said that using it to make a coffin can keep the corpse in the same state as when it died.”
"It is said that as long as the conditions are right, this divine tree can germinate and take root again even after thousands of years. Its vitality is very strong.”
"It is said that"
