"This is the resting place of the Scorpion Emperor?" Standing on the top of the canyon, Kai looked at the vast rainforest in the distance and sighed.
It was a huge basin. The basin was surrounded by earth-yellow mountains. Looking around along these mountains, it was all endless desert without the slightest breath of life. But in the basin, there are dense water networks and criss-crossing river valleys. The lush rain forest is full of life with the chirping of insects and birds one after another.
After this period of rapid march, Kai and his party finally arrived at the location of the Scorpion Emperor's Pyramid according to the guidance of the Scorpion Bracelet. Looking at the rain forest from the top of the mountain where Kai was standing, in the deepest part of the rain forest, a golden light was announcing its existence.
Although it is indeed contrary to common sense for a rainforest to appear in the middle of the desert, at this point, no one will back down. The group packed their bags and entered the rainforest. In order to prevent danger, a group of people was divided into three groups according to their combat effectiveness.
The first group was Kai and Catherine with a group of Parrot sailors. They were the vanguard to open the way, and as the resting place of the Scorpion Emperor, it would be a lie to say that there was no danger here.
Therefore, the group of people with the strongest combat effectiveness should open the way in front, and they can immediately warn if there is danger.
The middle group consisted of baggage trains and the old, weak, sick and disabled, led by Captain Nemo and Cotterman. By the way, some Bedouins and British soldiers were also among them. Evelyn, Jonathan, Dr. Terence Bay, etc. were nothing. The fighting guys are all in there.
Next up are the Bedouins, Mr. Hyde, and Adsbey. Their main responsibility is to prevent the enemy from getting behind them, and also to prevent the people in the middle from falling behind.
In order to prevent each other from losing contact, the first three groups of people were less than ten meters apart.
Don’t think that ten meters is very close. All you can see are tall trees and dense vegetation. It can be said that the sunlight cannot penetrate at all. The humidity in the air has greatly increased, and there is a faint mist, which also makes the visibility very low. In order to prevent Out of touch, everyone can only send secret signals to each other from time to time to maintain distance.
After entering the rainforest, the sky looked extremely gloomy, and the sunlight was blocked by the dense canopy of trees that blocked the sky. However, this did not give people a comfortable feeling. On the contrary, what they felt inside was a cold feeling. , as if something terrible has been staring at everyone.
Therefore, when traveling, you need to always pay attention to the distance between each other to avoid losing touch.
Because they had done a good job of psychological preparation before, everyone was nervous after entering the rainforest. Everyone was focused on every step they took, for fear that something would go wrong.
Except for Jonathan and Daniels, Jonathan is born to be nervous and does nothing all day long, while Daniels is confident. Ever since he learned that the curse on him disappeared, he has always believed that he is a person favored by God. , became a little fearless.
To put it bluntly, it is inflated.
After walking for a long time and realizing that there was no danger, the two people began to get excited. They are full of curiosity about everything around them. When everyone walked through an open space full of human heads, the two of them became excited.
It was more of an open space than a mass grave. Countless bones were piled up there haphazardly, and their heads were stuck on the edge with wooden sticks.
In addition, there are many cages hanging on the big trees nearby, and the cages are full of strange-looking mummy bones. Judging from the posture of those corpses, they must have been subjected to inhuman torture before death. . But these are nothing, what really makes people feel sick are the small Beijing temples! These heads seem to have been embalmed. Although they have dried up, you can still see the painful expressions on these people's faces.
"Look, that's the symbol of the Roman Legion!" When Jonathan saw an eagle flag half-buried by cobwebs and dust, he immediately said to Daniels in a showy manner. Then without waiting for Daniels to answer, he pointed to the other side and said: "And here, this is the French, Napoleon's army, who changed the course of history."
Looking at those horrific corpses, Daniels felt a little sick: "Who would do such a disgusting thing?"
"I don't know." Jonathan shrugged and said a little carelessly: "It's not a good thing anyway."
Daniels suddenly looked at the Roman eagle flag over there, as if he thought of something. He secretly whispered to Jonathan: "Jonathan, is the Roman eagle flag you just mentioned worth valuable? Isn't it something from at least a few hundred years ago?"
Daniels is a typical semi-literate person who can read but has difficulty writing, so don't expect him to know what era Rome is in.
Jonathan is well-educated, but is very close to Daniels in nature and likes to spend time and play in the world. I am very passionate about selling antiques for money.
"Of course! This thing is worth thousands of pounds at least in London!"
As he said that, the two guys started looking at each other and laughing involuntarily. Apparently they both knew what the other was thinking.
So these two guys sneaked towards the outside of the team. When they saw that no one else noticed them, the two guys quickly rushed to the Roman Eagle flag. Although these two people were engaged in tomb robbing, it was completely nonsense to say how professional they were, so their movements could not be gentle. They did not expect that the eagle flag had been placed here for at least a thousand years, so When they roughly picked up the eagle flag, it broke instantly.
The wooden pole of the eagle flag has been completely rotted. It was not broken before because no one had touched it for a long time. Now that Jonathan and Daniels have done this, it will be ruined.
Bang!
When the eagle flag broke, the metal ornaments on the eagle flag fell on a corpse nearby, and the mummy was directly smashed. As the mummy shattered, the surrounding piles of corpses also began to undergo a chain reaction. Collapse.
The huge sound was extremely harsh in the quiet woods, and suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing everyone looking at them, Jonathan and Daniels both looked embarrassed.
"Sorry, we didn't expect this..."
Kai looked at the two living treasures and shook his head with a smile. Apart from anything else, these two people have really great mentality.
Seeing that nothing happened, Kai decided to let the team move on. But before he could speak, a dark wind suddenly blew in the woods.
Kai immediately raised his hand, putting everyone on alert.
"We have guests!"
Seeing Kay's gesture, the sailors of the Nautilus immediately showed extraordinary combat qualities. They immediately formed a circle back to back and shouted warnings in English and Arabic at the same time. When the people behind heard this, they immediately gathered in the middle of the team, then dispersed, surrounding the old, weak, sick and disabled in the middle, with their guns pointed outwards.
The Bedouin also pulled out the weapons from their waists, cut off all the surrounding weeds and shrubs as high as a person, and opened up a clearing as quickly as possible. These weeds and shrubs really hinder the view.
But when everyone finished everything, everything was still calm. The group of people waited for a while, but instead of relaxing, they became even more nervous.
It's so quiet, so quiet.
There had been constant chirping of birds and beasts before, but now, apart from the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, they could no longer hear any other sounds. Anyone with any experience knows that this situation means big trouble.
If the enemy appears from the beginning, everyone will not be too nervous and it will be done. This feeling of waiting for the enemy is not pleasant. They will be distracted by thinking about where the enemy comes from and what they are, because they don't know anything. And fear often comes from the unknown.
As time passed by, everyone's nerves began to get tighter and tighter.
At this moment, a bush of grass suddenly stirred. A group of people didn't have time to think too much. They subconsciously raised their guns and fired at the grass. Then people who didn't notice the movement also subconsciously fired because of nervousness.
For a moment, the sound of gunfire made the jungle lively. By the time Kai shouted for them to cease fire, everyone's guns were empty of ammunition.
Kai could sense if an enemy was approaching, but he couldn't control the tension in other people's hearts.
