Everyone packed up their things, carried their backpacks, and walked toward the mountain under the sun.
As the saying goes, a horse that looks at the mountain will run to its death. After looking at the direction, everyone walked until the sun set before reaching the mountain pass.
The mountains of Zagramma were undulating and covered in black stones. The closer they got, the more eye-catching they became.
Instead of calling it a mountain, it was more appropriate to call it two huge black stones. The two boulders were dozens of kilometers in diameter, and only a shallow back was exposed in the sand. The larger part was buried underground. Perhaps the two boulders were connected to each other below, and the mountain pass might just be a crack in the boulder. The black stones contained magnets. Although the average content was not high, it was enough to affect the precision instruments used to determine the direction. Everyone's watches were not working because of it. The moonlight did not reflect any light on the black stones. It was dark inside the mountain pass.
Xiang Qian and Old Hu took out their pistols and walked in front. Fatty took his gun and brought up the rear. Yang Xueli and the archaeological team walked in the middle. The team formed a column and slowly walked into the valley.
After walking for a while, he suddenly saw a fire behind a broken wall.
Xiang Qian raised his hand to signal everyone to be careful. Then, he waved at Old Hu and Fatty. The three of them carefully touched it.
There were more than ten foreigners behind the wall, eating around the bonfire. Xiang Qian and the other two knew that this group of people should be grave robbers who were in the same gang as the two dead people they saw earlier.
Since they were foreign grave robbers, there was no need to be polite to them since they dared to come to China to rob.
Xiang Qian and the other two raised their pistols and fired down.
Xiang Qian and Old Hu's marksmanship was needless to say. Fatty had also grown up with guns since he was young, so the three of them killed all the grave robbers with a few shots each.
Yang Xueli, Professor Chen, and the others heard the gunshots and ran over. They saw Xiang Qian and the other two cleaning up the battlefield.
"What happened?" Yang Xueli ran to Old Hu's side and asked.
"The foreign grave robbers who were in the same group as the corpses we saw before were eliminated by the three of us. We can use their supplies to supplement our supplies. Here, we have food and water." Old Hu explained.
Xiang Qian and the other two brought the supplies they had found to everyone." There's water and food here. Everyone, eat quickly. After eating, we'll rest for a while before continuing to search for Jingjue Ancient City.”
Everyone had been thirsty and hungry for the entire afternoon. When they saw that there was food, they wolfed it down.
Everyone ate and drank their fill. After resting for a while, they continued to walk in.
After walking for a while, an ancient city that was half-buried by the sandstorm appeared in front of them.
"Look! That should be Jingjue Ancient City!" Yang Xueli pointed at the ancient city and was about to run in.
Xiang Qian reached out to stop Yang Xueli." Wait, everyone is tired today. Anyway, we have found a place, and it can't run away. Let's rest for a night before going in."”
Yang Xueli listened to Xiang Qian's words and thought about it. It was also the case. After discussing with Professor Chen, she agreed to Xiang Qian's words and rested in the ancient city for a night.
Everyone was too tired from the first day, so they slept until noon. After dinner, everyone packed up and walked into the ancient city. This time, An Liman refused to follow them in and said that he would wait for them outside.
No one forced him. After all, An Liman was only a guide and wouldn't be of much help.
The group walked around the ancient city and found nothing. They came to the center of the ancient city.
In the center of the ancient city was a tall temple. Everyone walked up the stone steps of the temple and came to the entrance of the temple.
Old Hu turned around and looked around. He whispered to Xiang Qian and Fatty in surprise,"Look, if you think of those two magnetic mountains as a dragon, Queen Jing Jue cut them off because she wanted to keep this dragon here forever. And the temple we are in now is an excellent treasure land!”
Xiang Qian nodded after hearing Old Hu's words and turned around to look into the temple.
In the main hall of the temple, there were all kinds of strange-looking stone statues and stone pillars. There were murals carved on the stone pillars.
There was no stone statue in the center of the main hall. Instead, there was a stone table. Two iron chains hung from the beam above the stone table, and a huge stone eye was fixed on the iron chains. There was a stone plate on the stone table, and a piece of white jade was placed on the stone plate.
On both sides of the stone table stood a tall stone statue. The stone statue had the head of a snake and the body of a human. It held a weapon in its hand and looked terrifying.
Xiang Qian and Old Hu took the lead and carefully walked into the main hall. Suddenly, from under the stone seats of the two stone statues, more than ten giant eyed snakes crawled out and flew up to bite Xiang Qian and Old Hu.
Xiang Qian dragged Old Hu out of the hall and stood beside Fatty. The three of them fired at the large-eyed snake that was chasing after them.
After dozens of shots, all the large-eyed snakes that chased after them were shot dead. Xiang Qian and Old Fatty Hu carefully walked into the hall again. This time, no large-eyed snakes ran out of the hall.
Seeing that there was no danger inside, Professor Chen and the others also walked into the hall and sat down in front of the stone statue in the hall to take notes.
Fatty saw a piece of white jade in the stone plate on the stone table. While the archeological team was not paying attention, he reached out and pulled it out from the stone plate.
Fatty had just dug out the white jade when he heard a cracking sound.
Xiang Qian turned around and almost jumped up in shock.
The stone eye hanging above the stone table was slowly cracking open. Inside, a giant snake with eyes twisted its body and fell out of the stone eye. Below the stone eye was Fatty.
Xiang Qian pulled Fatty over and pounced to the side to avoid the falling snake ball.
Xiang Qian dragged Fatty and quickly retreated to the side of the crowd. He said to Yang Xueli and Old Hu Shuo," Quickly take out the gasoline that the foreigners brought and burn them to death. Otherwise, when they separate, we will all die."”
Yang Xueli and Old Hu did not dare to delay. They hurriedly took out gasoline and poured it on the snakes. Then, they turned on the lighter and threw it into the snakes.
The snake ball instantly caught fire, and hissing sounds came from the fire.
Old Hu turned around and kicked Fatty." What did you touch this time? Do you want to kill everyone?"
"I…I…I didn't do it on purpose. "I just…" Fatty stammered and did not say anything.
"Alright, Old Hu, the snake has been burned to death. We're fine, so don't scold Fatty.”Xiang Qian stopped Old Hu, who still wanted to call him a fatty, and walked into the hall.
"You! Be careful in the future." Old Hu said to Fatty in disappointment and followed Xiang Qian inside.
Everyone came to the stone table. Xiang Qian and Old Hu looked around the stone table and reached out to Fatty."Hand it over!"
"What? I don't know." Fatty was still playing dumb.
"Cut the crap and take out the white jade. It's used to activate the mechanism.”Old Hu extended his hand towards Fatty.
Fatty reluctantly took out the white jade and handed it to Old Hu.
Old Hu took the white jade and placed it back on the stone plate. He poked it for a while and turned it.
"Ka! Crack! Ka!"
A series of mechanical sounds rang out, and the stone table moved to the side. Under the stone table, an entrance to a passage appeared.
