It was basically determined that the sound of smashing stone slabs attracted so many poisonous insects and snakes, so Zhu Yu and the others decided to be more careful when they went there again, leaving Cao Dalong behind who volunteered to act as a sentinel, while the others entered the tent. rest.
At midnight, Zhu Yu took out the half-human-tall golden statue.
The golden statue looks seamless to the naked eye, with no gaps, as if it was cast in one piece.
But with the blessing of Zhu Yu's Heavenly Eye, one can see that there is a secret door on the front and abdomen, and there is also a small mechanism to open this secret door.
Just press the navel of the statue and turn it slightly clockwise, and then you can open the secret door and take out the diamond ball inside.
Zhu Yu looked at it with his heavenly eye again and found that there was nothing harmful to people in the golden statue, so he pressed the button on the statue and took out the diamond ball.
The moment the diamond ball was taken out, a white light shone in the dark tent!
However, as soon as the diamond ball was obtained, a large amount of energy began to enter Zhu Yu's body, and the white light immediately disappeared.
Outside, Qin Fei, who had replaced Cao Dalong, immediately noticed this abnormality and quickly came to Zhu Yu's tent and asked in a low voice:
"Boss, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Zhu Yu tried his best to keep his voice calm, "You continue to observe the surroundings, I am testing something here."
"Okay." Qin Fei could tell that there was nothing wrong with Zhu Yu's voice, so he walked to the nearby high platform and observed his surroundings.
Zhu Yu closed his eyes and worked hard to guide the energy into his heavenly eye, the jade pendant space, and then into the meridians and flesh of his body.
The energy in this diamond ball was so huge that Zhu Yu needed to treat it with all his strength to prevent the energy from dissipating - he guessed that if this energy were to dissipate, his tent would have to explode!
What surprised and surprised Zhu Yu was that while receiving the energy, he also received a lot of information one after another!
Slowly, this information was compiled and connected, and Zhu Yu also understood the origin of this city and the reason why there were so many precious metal utensils.
It turns out that those who came here to build the city were indeed a certain branch of ancient Egypt.
When the people of ancient Egypt were active in the northern part of the African continent under the rule of the Pharaohs, the desert was not as big as it is now.
But later, due to various factors, the Pharaoh who went out to fight in a certain life was betrayed.
The betrayers not only cut off the supply of logistics supplies to the Pharaoh's army, but also massacred the Pharaoh's cronies and occupied the royal city.
That Pharaoh was good at fighting, quickly resolved the battle, led his army back to the royal city, and defeated the betrayers.
This rebellious tribe was actually well prepared. Before the current Pharaoh returned, some of the tribes left the kingdom's rule with the gold and silver treasures plundered from the royal city and the treasures (diamond balls) given by the gods. district.
Although the Pharaoh put down the rebellion, what he ended up with was a royal city that was destroyed and massacred.
This rebellious tribe went east and came here. At that time, it was still an oasis and very suitable for living.
These people built cities and lived here.
At the beginning, the life of the tribal residents was not rich. They needed to cultivate land and start all over again.
In order to appease the grievances of the tribal residents, the upper echelons of the tribe began to gift the valuable gold and silverware they had stolen to the common people.
At the same time, lead the existing warriors to fight around to obtain more supplies.
In the end, the city was established, but it only existed for a short period of more than a hundred years. It declined due to the drying up of water sources, siege by other locals, etc., and was finally destroyed in a strong sandstorm.
Because there are too many quicksands here, and the wind and sand are constantly blowing, many people who come to explore never return, so it gradually becomes a dangerous place, and no one dares to come here anymore.
The last information Zhu Yu learned was that after the tribes built it, they placed most of the valuable artifacts they looted in the pyramid and the secret rooms on both sides. At the same time, they used ancient poison training methods to lock poisonous snakes and poisonous insects into the secret rooms. , to protect these offerings that were originally supposed to be dedicated to the gods.
As for the subsequent destruction information, it was Zhu Yu's own guess.
After all, the thing is obvious. A sick lion that breaks into the territory of a lion group not only grows silently, but also goes around to snatch food from other lions. Isn't this looking for death?
The information is gone, but energy continues to pour into Zhu Yu's body!
This is the largest amount of energy that Zhu Yu has received in a long time!
This diamond ball is only the size of a fist, but the energy in it is so terrifying!
This time the input of energy also caused the energy in Zhu Yu's Tianyan and his body to reach the peak again. Although there was no breakthrough, it was almost there.
However, the space of the jade pendant was expanded again, to a terrifying space that Zhu Yu no longer wanted to calculate.
At least he can pretend if he wants to.
Moreover, the input of this energy makes the space very stable, and there will be no problems caused by installing too many things.
By the time Zhu Yu stopped to receive the energy, the sky had turned slightly white.
It's almost dawn.
He put away the diamond ball - it's not that there is no energy in the diamond ball, but that the energy in it has reached a balance with the energy in his own body. If he doesn't take the initiative to absorb it, then the energy in the diamond ball will not take the initiative. come out.
Let’s talk about it later.
At dawn, Ran Jie and the others woke up one after another, and then began to wash up and pack breakfast.
After a simple breakfast, Zhu Yu delayed his original plan to go there.
He called Abdullah.
Abdullah was having breakfast and was a little surprised when he knew it was Zhu Yu's call.
After taking the call, Abdullah asked proactively:
"Mr. Zhu, how are you now? Have you found the treasure?"
"I think I have found an ancient city ruins. It is most likely the place you mentioned." Zhu Yu said looking in the direction of the ruins.
“That’s great, you can dig in now – I think this is the time to play to your strengths!”
"That's no problem." Zhu Yu said, "It's just because the ruins of this ancient city are located in the heart of the desert, and there are many scorpion nests nearby. If we dig here, we will most likely destroy those ruins..."
Abdullah stopped eating, thought for a while and said:
"Try to preserve those ruins as much as possible. After all, those ruins are also a reflection of ancient culture, although they are not our Muslim culture -
You also said that if our country wants to develop sustainably, it would be good to take the road of tourism. Although the site is located in the heart of the desert, as long as it is developed well, it will definitely attract many curiosity seekers. "
Zhu Yu understood the other party's subtext, and he said:
"I'll try to keep it as good as possible."
Just "try your best".
After hanging up the phone, Ran Jie asked:
"Boss, shall we go now?"
"No, let's not go yet. With just the few of us, even if we go, we still have to take back those things we encounter." Zhu Yu said, "We are not like before now. There is no need to fight alone, we are organized !”
"What do you mean?" Cao Dalong and Qin Fei asked at the same time, but in fact they had roughly guessed what Zhu Yu was thinking.
"Now call the oil field, report our location coordinates, and then ask them to bring a hundred people over, drones, pesticides, flamethrowers, etc., and, by the way, engineer equipment!
If we just dig there, we won’t be able to dig until the end of the year of the monkey. It’s not like we have no one, so why bother ourselves? "
"Yes, yes! Boss, when you said that, our thinking suddenly opened up! Think about the gold coins in that box, one box is enough for everyone's development expenses!"
Cao Dalong is still worried about the gold and silver coin boxes left in the ruins of the ancient city.
After all, those are things that have been obtained, but have to be given up.
"Boss, should we wait here now, or wait over there first?" Ran Jie asked.
"Let's go to the dirt bag where we camped yesterday. After all, it's close and easy to locate." Zhu Yu thought for a while and said.
Qin Fei drove a few people back in his car.
Although there was no sandstorm at night, when they returned, Zhu Yu and the others were surprised to find that the rut marks had disappeared!
Does the sand here still have a memory function and will it smooth out the traces on it?
When we got near the dirt bag, the car slowed down.
Zhu Yu opened his eyes and found no danger.
It seems that those poisonous insects and snakes have completely retreated.
However, Zhu Yu and the others did not take it lightly. Someone took turns guarding the soil bag.
"Boss, someone has passed by!" In the afternoon, Qin Fei, who was lying on the dirt bag observing, suddenly reported to Zhu Yu in the tent below, "It looks like they are also treasure hunters, seven of them!"
Zhu Yu and the others immediately went up to the earth bag to observe, and sure enough they found that a group of people walked inside from the other side of the ancient city ruins.
"These people are quite lucky." Zhu Yu looked at the group of people in the distance who were as small as ants, "They didn't encounter any danger."
After all, if you go from this direction, there will be quicksand and poisonous scorpions, and you will die if you are not careful.
It's okay over there!
After the group entered the city ruins, observed it, and then went straight to the pyramid.
"It seems that these guys are going to be in trouble." Zhu Yu said, "Those poisonous insects most likely came out of the pyramid."
"I don't know where these people are from." Ran Jie asked.
Qin Fei, holding a telescope, said:
"Among the seven people, three are white, two are black, and two are yellow. This is an international team - there are no familiar faces."
Qin Fei put down the telescope and turned to Zhu Yu:
"Boss, do you want to remind them?"
"No." Zhu Yu thought for a while and said, "Treasure hunters have to bear the dangers if they eat this bowl of rice. It depends on their luck, maybe they can escape."
Zhu Yu really had no intention of saving anyone. After all, everyone is a competitor. If you come here, if you win, you can have everything, any club, any model. If you lose, you will become bones and dregs, and become food for something. That is normal.
Not just those people, but them too.
"Then should we stop it?" Cao Dalong didn't want those gold coins to be taken away by these people, so he asked, "If you are really lucky..."
"No need." Zhu Yu looked up at the sky and said, "Even if they are lucky and don't disturb the poisonous insects, I'm afraid this day will not be easy for them."
Because in the distance, clouds have risen in the north, and wind and sand are slowly approaching.
Several people were observing on the soil bag.
The seven put down their backpacks in the city ruins and began to set up tents. Two of them suddenly screamed because they had discovered the big hole on the pyramid.
Some people impatiently planned to go down, while others stopped them. In the end, they seemed to reach an agreement and started eating dry food in the tent.
Half an hour later, two people stayed outside while others got into the hole one after another.
The four people here were all looking at each other with binoculars - Zhu Yu felt that he was actually quite cruel, which was equivalent to watching how the other party died.
About ten minutes after the five people entered, the two people outside seemed to hear something and ran to the entrance of the cave.
Then the two people ran away from the cave entrance like crazy. When passing by the tent, one of them hesitated and grabbed a backpack. The other didn't even want the backpack and ran away!
Next, a person emerged from the entrance of the cave. He was also running out like crazy, but he stopped as he ran, shook, and finally fell to the ground.
Then behind him, something black and crow-like emerged from the entrance of the cave, quickly spreading towards the two fleeing people - flying snakes!
Those flying snakes were extremely fast. The two men ran faster than the snakes on the sand at first, but soon they could no longer run and their speed slowed down. They were soon overtaken by the flying snakes at the city wall.
The flying snake wrapped the two people up, looking like a cocoon with countless tentacles!
Very disgusting!
After seven or eight minutes, when the flying snake slowly retreated, only the clothes and some bones of the two people were left.
When I looked back, I saw that the last person who ran out had only part of his bones left.
"It's so exciting!" Cao Dalong said, "These snakes - they are really powerful!"
"So just the few of us will definitely not be able to do it." Zhu Yu put away the telescope, "We have to wait for the large army to arrive, and we need careful planning!"
"Let's lure the snake out of the hole, put it outside, and burn these guys to death!" Ran Jie said seriously, "We must clean up these things before we can go in."
The four people inside must have become food for the snakes. I don’t know how many venomous snakes there are down there!
"Okay, let's not talk too much now. The sandstorm is coming. We have to strengthen the tent and get ready!" Zhu Yu looked at the sky and said, "This sandstorm doesn't look small!"
Everyone has experience and started taking action immediately.
Zhu Yu and the others had just reinforced the tent and blocked the car when the sandstorm came.
This time the wind and sand came very violently. At the beginning, the sky was covered with dust, so heavy that I couldn't even see my fingers.
It felt like the tent was about to be swept up into the sky.
Fortunately, a few people reinforced the tent very well. In addition, it was blocked by earth bags and the quality of the tent was also very good, so it could barely block the wind and sand.
After a few hours, when it got dark, the wind and sand finally stopped.
But on the upper air vent side of the tent, the sand had completely piled up to the top.
Zhu Yu and the others came out of the tent and looked at the stars in the sky. Only then did they realize that after the dust had passed, the sky was so pure.
A few people simply cleaned the sand next to the tent, had dinner, and simply lay on the dirt buns and looked at the stars.
"Boss, do you think those scorpions will be buried in the dust?" Cao Dalong suddenly asked.
"Probably not." Zhu Yu shook his head, "If it died so easily, it would be impossible to exist for hundreds of years. They must have their own way of survival - don't forget, here, they are the masters."
"That's right." Cao Dalong sighed, "If we can get them done, we will save a lot of trouble."
"It's okay. Our people and equipment will arrive in two days. No matter how many poisonous insects there are, we won't be afraid!" Ran Jie answered with a smile, "Everyone will die if they come."
The next day, Zhu Yu and others went to explore the ancient city and found that the scorpion holes were still there. There are still many scorpions clearing the soil at the entrance of the cave, obviously they are not idle either.
The remaining buildings in the ancient city were covered with thick sand. The few bones from yesterday have now disappeared.
Including the location of the bank that Zhu Yu and the others had previously dug up, it was now covered with sand, and there was no trace of the previous excavation.
"Oh, it was all in vain!" Cao Dalong sighed, "I have to do it again!"
"Stop digging. Those venomous snakes and insects may be clearing the sand now. If we make a big noise, they will be discovered immediately. It's better to wait for someone to come over."
Zhu Yu's words were approved by everyone. Why take risks when you have a solid plan? Not less than a day and a half.
On the third day, a mighty motorcade arrived here.
One hundred and twenty security team members got off the car, each holding a shovel, and there were many cars with equipment behind them.
"Everyone takes a rest first. Today we will mainly make detailed plans and start cleaning up tomorrow. Search for treasures in the ancient city and kill poisonous snakes and poisonous insects here."
Zhu Yu assigned tasks to the person in charge who reported to him and explained the situation here.
"Boss, we have brought pesticides, flamethrowers, incendiary bombs and other equipment that are specially designed to kill poisonous insects. You just need to get familiar with it this afternoon and you will be able to use it immediately tomorrow!"
"That's good!" Zhu Yu was full of confidence in his team members.
What could be more reliable than these professionally trained and highly organized people?
After the team was organized the next day, the person in charge briefly clarified the tasks and asked for instructions to let Zhu Yu speak.
"Comrades, not much else to say, the conditions here are difficult, and there is also the danger of poisonous insects and snakes, so at this stage of working here, we implement a five-times wage system!
Every day he works is five times his usual salary in the oil field! Those who perform well will be rewarded! "
As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes lit up!
This boss is really honest!
If you have a boss like this, why don’t you work hard?
Why did you come out? Don’t you just want to make more money?
Now that the boss has given so much, why not work hard for it?
The waist flashed. It was not a big problem at first, but it will be fine after a few days of treatment. When the result was almost healed, I sneezed out and my breath went off - my daughter told others that I sneezed and limped myself - but it was really serious. Otherwise this chapter wouldn't be so late. This means lying down for a while. Alas, as people reach middle age, their health gets worse and worse.
