I handed the box to Shao Bo, took the jade pendant and chased him out.
I asked Shaobo to inform Sister Feng that they were leaving.
I thought: I can't promise her because Xiaoyan is still waiting for me!
I plan to explain the matter clearly to her and then return this jade pendant to her.
I followed the camel tracks in front of me and chased them all the way...
Their team caught up soon.
Baili Xu was riding on a camel. I rushed up and handed the jade pendant to her: "Miss Xiao Xu, I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend, I can't accept... this..."
She pulled the camel and looked into the distance silently, feeling sad...
He slowly turned to me and said, "Do you want me to die? Or do you want to die yourself?"
I was confused: "What did you say!?"
"You know, since you have taken my jade pendant, it means that we have made a pact. If you want to return it to me, you will break the pact. According to the rules of our ancestors, we must fight again. Either your head falls to the ground, or I die by your sword...you can throw the jade pendant on my corpse."
What? What the fuck are these rules!
"You make your own choice." She said calmly...
I cursed in my heart: Damn it! You plotted against me, if I knew so many rules, I wouldn't have opened the box just now.
Thinking about it, I was ready to throw this jade pendant into the desert.
As soon as I raised my hand, I heard her sigh: "Are you trying to force me to commit suicide? If the personal jade pendant is lost, according to the ancestors' rules, I will kill myself with a sword."
Wow, you XX, where did your ancestors come from with so many rules! Neither this nor that!
I thought about it and put on a smile: "What about that, Miss Xiao Xu, I think Shaobo is a good person, he likes it very much..."
"Do you think my lady can be liked by anyone?" Xiaoru next to me glared at me...
"But I told your lady, I already have a girlfriend! She has been waiting for me for many years, and she was almost killed because of me. I don't want her to get hurt again!" I said to Xiaoru, actually I told her on purpose...
Baili Yuxu sighed faintly: "There is such a woman in this world. I know it will be difficult for you to accept it for a while. I will give you time and you will accept me. I promise you that I will not accept her until I see her." , I will never force you before you learn from her."
I cursed in my heart: Why do you say this as if you are a master or something? Can you force me? Do I still have to listen to you?
"She doesn't know how to do martial arts at all. You're going to make a difference if you try to teach her!" I yelled.
She looked at me and said calmly: "I'm not talking about martial arts, I'm talking about other things..."
She paused and continued: "However, since this token of love is already in your hands, you'd better keep it safe, otherwise one of us will die. Maybe you won't die. That's because you forced me to I killed myself." She said it honestly and calmly.
I was a little dumbfounded... I shivered and didn't know what to say... I looked at the jade pendant... I had to put it in my inner bag...
Xiaoru handed me a bottle of water and I took a few sips...
She jumped off the camel, pulled it, and the camel knelt down: "You get up, and I will lead the camel for you."
I said nothing and didn't go up, so she left the camel to her men and walked with me...
Speechless all the way...
I don’t know how long she had been walking, but one of her men came running from the front on a camel and chattered a few words to her.
She pointed to the front: "It's right there."
I looked along her hand, and there were only a few tattered-looking walls in front of me, and nothing else could be seen.
"Are you sure? Didn't I hear that it is some kind of relic?" I'm not sure.
"This is right here. I've already found someone to detect it."
I followed Baili Yuxu and walked over.
It is a large area with some tall or short old walls.
Several people are already waiting for her here. These should be the people Shaobo said she sent out to inquire.
One of them took something and handed it to her, muttered a few words, and then pointed to a place. She nodded and walked over quickly.
I followed her, and she squatted down and turned over the sand. I also saw that the sand seemed different from what I had seen in other places when I came here. The color and texture were different.
I saw clearly that what she was holding was a telescope, which should be the equipment of the previous group of people.
She stood up and shook off the sand on her hands: "This telescope was found here, it should be nearby."
I nodded in agreement.
"Everyone, spread out the search around here." She directed her men.
At this time, Sister Feng and the others also arrived. The glasses took out the equipment from the big bag on Lao Tu's back. After installing it, they started to adjust it. Sister Feng gave me the submachine gun that was lost, and Lao Tu and Shaobo each assembled a large sniper.
Since these equipment are provided by the branch here, there are not many bullets, so Sister Feng told me to save them.
Baili Yuxu looked at us from the side: "You still say that we are not hunters? The equipment is quite complete."
I explained: "I won't hide it from you now, we were sent by the foundation to rescue your father."
She was a little surprised: "So, your goal is to rescue the expedition team?"
Hearing what she said, my face started to get hot: "What, that money...we will pay you back when we get back..."
Shaobo looked at me with his mouth wide open...
"I keep my word, and the remaining ten thousand will be given to you when it's over."
I saw that she was speaking sincerely, so I scratched my head in embarrassment: "Then...then what, then thank you..."
Shao Bo lowered his head with satisfaction and continued to check the gun...
Baili Yuxu's men searched, but found nothing...
The glasses have been adjusted and configured, and scanning of the ground has begun.
After a while, Glasses said: "There is a large empty area below here, a bit like a building."
"Can you find the entrance?" Sister Feng asked.
"We haven't found it yet." Glasses looked at the device carefully.
"Let's all search separately now to see if there is any entrance." Baili Yuxu ordered her men, and the group of people took the order to search.
I asked Sister Feng: "Are you sure they went down below?" "This is not clear yet, but it is very likely that their signal disappeared here."
Sister Feng, Shaobo and I also joined the search.
But after working for a long time, I got nothing...
It was getting dark, so we decided to camp on the spot against these earthen walls. The Baili Yuxu people also took out their tents, and we lit up the bonfire and started cooking.
Baili Ruxu held a telescope and sat across from him thoughtfully.
There were a few people who wanted to pee, so they went inside.
In order to prevent being attacked by snakes, Sister Feng brought out a few bottles of realgar wine. We all drank some. I handed two bottles to Baili Yuxu and asked them to drink some too.
She took a sip and told Xiaoru and the others to give it to others after drinking.
Sister Feng sprinkled a circle around the camp.
Suddenly, the people who went to relieve themselves screamed, and I rushed out with my submachine gun.
No one saw it, but there was a scream in front of me. I quickly deployed my skills to chase the sound.
I didn't bring a flashlight, it was very dark over there, but I could vaguely see a huge dark figure moving on the desert through the moonlight, and disappeared after a while.
What the fuck is this.
I rushed to the place where the creature disappeared. There were several torn rags on the ground with wet blood stains on them.
Sister Feng, the others and Baili Yuxu also chased after them. "What's going on?" Baili Yuxu asked.
"I don't know, it was probably some kind of giant creature that disappeared when it got here, and these are the only ones left." I pointed to the rags on the ground.
"These are the pieces of clothing of my hired companion." After carefully identifying them, she looked around.
Sister Feng and I also moved forward carefully, with Shaobo walking in front of us.
"Ouch" I heard Shao Bo's voice, but he was gone.
I heard that the sound came from the small mound in front of me, so I quickly ran over to take a look.
As soon as I rushed up, I braked suddenly. There was a hole behind, and sand was seeping into it...
I crawled at the entrance of the cave: "Shao Bo, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just my butt... oh, it hurts so much." Shao Bo's voice came from below, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
I motioned Sister Feng and the others to come over, pointed at the hole and said, "It's a bit deep down here, so we need to find a rope."
Sister Feng asked Lao Tu to go back and bring the equipment, and asked him to notify the glasses, use the satellite phone to contact the branch, report the situation, and be ready to provide support at any time.
Baili Yuxu also asked Lao Tu to call the others over and prepare to go down.
Lao Tu hurriedly ran back.
"What's going on down there?" I asked Shao Bo. "It seems like a big house with nothing here..." Shao Bo replied.
After a while, Lao Tu and the others came over with their equipment.
We distributed the equipment and supplies, and Sister Feng said to Lao Tu: "Xiao Feng and I will go down, and you guard the entrance of the cave. If we don't come out for more than 24 hours, you ask the glasses to contact the branch for support."
"receive."
Lao Tu and several others held the rope, and we slowly climbed down. Baili Yuxu and the others also went down below.
I saw Shao Bo sitting on a stone next to him, so I went over and gave him a hand.
I turned on the flashlight and looked around. The structure did look a bit like a big house.
Sister Feng handed the sniper to Shao Bo and Baili Ruoxu, and patted me: "Okay, take it for self-defense." She handed me a sword.
"No, I have a gun." I shook the submachine gun on my chest. "Sometimes cold weapons are more useful than guns." She said calmly.
makes sense.
I nodded and took the sword, carrying it behind my back.
Everyone turned on their flashlights and looked around.
It's a bit like an ancient temple, but it hasn't been built yet.
Because there is a platform for worship, but there is no shrine.
The scale doesn't look too small, and the decorations inside are all in ancient Western style.
Someone pointed to the side and screamed, Baili Ruxu walked over, and I saw a big hole was knocked out of the wall there.
After we walked out of the big hole, we saw that there was actually a small town inside. Although the houses inside were half sunken into the soil, the big house in the middle on the right was obviously a palace.
I turned around and looked at the building we came out of. It was indeed an unfinished building.
We looked around and found no trace of anyone. When we walked to the palace, we found that it had sunk to the second floor...
Baili Yuxu's men came forward and gently pried open the door, and one person went in. After a while, he came out of the door and waved, indicating that there was no danger and that he could come in.
We went in through the door on the second floor.
Let me go, it's quite luxurious here. This is a platform on the second floor, surrounded by stone railings.
Directly below, in the middle of the first floor, there is a small circular pool similar to a fountain, with pillars on both sides.
There is a door on the opposite side.
We went down the stairs, and the door at the back was blocked due to collapse.
The rooms on the left and right were empty.
We entered the door opposite the small round pond. There was an altar in the middle, and there were candlesticks on the surrounding walls. Shao Bo lit it a few times but didn't light it...
Baili Yuxu asked her men to take out many foreign candles and light them in different locations.
There doesn't seem to be any special clues here...
Just as I was getting ready to go out, I caught a glimpse of a stone on the left side of the wall with uneven dust thickness.
I went up to blow off the soot and pressed it with the butt of my gun. It seemed to move...
I pressed hard.
A downward passage appeared behind the "Click" altar...
