"What, you think there's something wrong with these sheep?"
Jiang Yingxue knew Bai Ning, and she also knew that he was not the kind of person who liked to dwell on the form of parting. Being able to accompany him for a while was his limit.
“The sheep seem to be grazing aimlessly, but in fact they are not grazing at all, but wandering aimlessly.
This phenomenon either means that the head sheep died suddenly, or that the herdsman who led them disappeared.
Scattered shepherd dogs can also be seen walking randomly among the sheep, which further proves that the sheep have lost basic control. "
Bai Ning's analysis is well-founded and based on a basic analysis of the overall status of the sheep flock.
This is known as Death Valley. If a herdsman suddenly disappears, it is likely that he was struck by lightning and died.
This herdsman came in a few days before them, so they didn't know if there had been a drought or thunderstorm here.
"Even if there's a sudden thunderstorm here, as long as I'm careful, it shouldn't be a problem."
Jiang Yingxue didn't care about this small risk. The vehicle had been equipped with a lightning protection kit. Even if it was directly hit by lightning, the vehicle would be paralyzed at most.
Besides, they had just arrived, so there was no reason for them to be so unlucky.
“I’m not saying that these Tibetan sheep have lost their shepherd, I’m saying that their shepherd has been replaced by someone with a heart.
Based on the dragon-patterned stone slab we found in the tomb of Queen Mother of the West, I think that the person who suddenly appeared is probably the original Captain Dong.
Being targeted by such an insidious and cunning person, I think your leaving alone will become an important target for him."
Bai Ning expressed his initial guess, which surprised Jiang Yingxue.
The captain surnamed Dong appeared during the last investigation of the dragon falling incident in Yingkou, and his main goal was to use Liu Cheng to find the dragon.
They left Yingkou City and headed to the Tarim Basin area. This was a secret for Captain Dong. How did he know that this trip might be related to dragon hunting?
Could it be that Captain Dong simply followed Liu Cheng and received some unexpected surprises?
In other words, Captain Dong can sense the dragon-patterned slate remotely and wants to steal the dragon-patterned slate in his next big move.
As for kidnapping her Jiang Yingxue in exchange for the dragon-patterned slate, Jiang Yingxue felt that there was no need for any reason.
"How can you be sure that it is Captain Dong and not a member of the Night Demon Society hiding in the dark?"
Jiang Yingxue asked slightly casually.
"The members of the Night Demon Society are much more determined than Captain Dong. We still don't even have a clue. It's impossible for the members of the Night Devil Society to show up."
Bai Ning's response was even calmer, as if he had never doubted the result of his guess.
"Even if the person hiding in the dark is really Captain Dong, what can we do?
You can't stand still and just wait for him to come over and throw yourself into the trap.
You have fought against him before, and you know that he is the kind of shrewd person who will immediately run away if he can't take advantage. It is almost impossible to wait for him.
Furthermore, his methods are dirty and he dares to use any dirty tricks. If we stay here for a long time, not only may there be problems with supplies, but we may also be infected by some unknown diseases from the flocks of sheep all over the mountains and plains.
There is only one who commits a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. Could it be that, in order to be safer, we can only put aside the current exploration activities for the time being? "
The inexplicable crisis made Jiang Yingxue feel a little uncomfortable, and she even had the idea of summoning Aaron's trio.
But she didn't know whether Aaron's trio was still occupied within the family, so she had no intention of calling immediately to shake people off.
"The process of searching for Queen Mother Xi's original refuge was already boring, but now that he has come to bring warmth, it can be considered as adding a bit of fun to the boring process.
What Captain Dong needs is nothing more than the dragon-patterned slate and Liu Cheng. Using this as bait, I don't believe he can stay calm forever. "
Bai Ning's tone was as calm as if he had sentenced Dong Dabeard to death.
It was obvious that after Bai Ning realized Dong Dabeard's sneak attack, he had roughly come up with a cunning plan.
Furthermore, if Dong Dabeard needs to hide here and there, he might find a passage into the initial refuge of the Queen Mother of the West in that corner.
Everyone is just entertaining each other and chatting to relieve their boredom.
Facing this good show that was gradually unfolding, Jiang Yingxue was motivated to stay, whether to ensure her own safety or to enjoy the good show.
No one could ask about Bai Ning's plans at this moment. After a quick discussion, they dispersed.
In the valley, there are still sheep all over the mountains and plains, and their bleating calls are leisurely and sweet. In the midst of the waves, the sheep have vaguely surrounded the entire camp.
Surrounded by lush water and grass, the sheep seem to be staying here for a long time.
Occasionally, a shepherd dog passes by around the camp, sniffing at the sky from time to time. It is not known whether it is confirming the overall movement of the sheep, or spying on some other information.
Slowly and leisurely, they interspersed among the sheep. There was no trace of the duties that a shepherd dog should perform. They were more like a group of hounds who had received orders, silently collecting information about their prey.
Knowing that Captain Dong is good at poisoning, Bai Ning asked the bodyguard not to buy sheep to eat. Even if a large amount of water is needed, people must be optimistic about the water source.
The whole team was stationed in the middle of the river valley tightly. Whenever any lone sheep came near the camp, they would be driven away by the bodyguards.
Drones patrol the sky every day, exploring the hidden places in the river valley. The cold sunshine shines in the river valley, just like the most ordinary scenery in the world.
They were silent in peace, not knowing whether the existence hidden in the dark was waiting for a good opportunity.
Even though Bai Ning's bold words made the place instantly turbulent, the time was still peaceful at this time. Everyone was executing their orders step by step, and nothing special happened.
One day later, the drone's patrol still made no progress, as if there were no ancient ruins in this area.
Faced with this unfavorable situation, although Jiang Yingxue knew that there was no use in being anxious, she was the one who wanted to leave, so it was meaningless to spend time here aimlessly.
"Why, the trapping plan you mentioned is just to wait here and wait for the rabbit?"
Jiang Yingxue opened Bai Ning's tent and entered without taking a seat. She spoke slowly with a tone of indifference and a hint of ridicule.
Bai Ning didn't even raise his head, staring at the electronic map in his hand silently, as if he had entered a state of selflessness.
"If there is nothing else, then go back and have a good rest."
After waiting for about ten seconds, what she got was such a bare answer, which made Jiang Yingxue a little confused as to what big move Bai Ning was holding in his heart.
“If there are any conspicuous architectural traces here, we have already discovered them during the previous overall inspection.
Is it really useful to continue analyzing a bunch of meaningless video data now? "
A day's drone flight observation has actually determined the ineffectiveness of the aerial perspective. If you want to find clues about ancient ruins, you must use on-site exploration to find them.
Even if the vegetation in this river valley is not dense, over thousands of years, whether it is the accumulation of dust or the accumulation of ordinary decaying plants, the less obvious remains may be covered with a layer of camouflaging soil and vegetation.
If you want to peel off this layer of disguise, you can only look for it inch by inch through on-site inspections.
Whether it is by digging three feet into the ground or by luck, as long as you find the corner of this ancient ruins, the rest will fall into place.
"The ancients paid attention to Feng Shui when building cities. In fact, they meant that the construction site of the house should be located in a sunny and leeward place.
If you consider the need for water, it is best to have a small river or an ancestral hall next to the house.
Building an evacuation site, especially a large evacuation site, has higher requirements for location.
To avoid the world-destroying flood, you must not only consider the height of the terrain, but also consider the phenomenon of landslides and falling rocks caused by huge waves hitting the mountain.
After the flood recedes, this area cannot be located in the flood discharge channel to avoid being flooded for a long time.
Based on these rough requirements, this refuge site should be located in an area with a huge mountain and a solid and tight structure.
Such areas can be found everywhere in the Kunlun Mountains, but if we focus on the middle section of the Narengrad Gorge, there are only these three effective locations. "
As if he wanted to let Jiang Yingxue calm down for a while, Bai Ning told an immature point of view.
This view has not received due confirmation, and it does not make much sense. It is just the opinion of Bai Ning's family.
You must know that the Xiwangmu clan is a legacy of the fourth civilization, and the strength of its construction technology is immeasurable.
Even if it is built on flat ground, as long as the above-ground exit of this underground city can be ensured to have first-class sealing conditions, it is possible not to build it on a higher mountainside.
"Isn't this quite a solution?
Are you going to leave overnight tonight? "
Jiang Yingxue's words sounded like nonsense, but the content hidden in them already mentioned Captain Dong who was hiding in the dark.
The night is dark and the wind is high, which is a good time to be sneaky. People with ulterior motives at this time are more likely to reveal their lies.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as a drone is flown to monitor infrared signals nearby, any interested person sneaking over will be within the drone's field of vision.
With the advantage of their field of vision, they wanted to surround Captain Dong without knowing it, but it was easy.
Such thoughts surged in Jiang Yingxue's heart, which was a concentrated psychological reflection of her eagerness to get rid of Captain Dong.
