After listening to Zhang Haixing's words, Wu Xie nodded. This explanation seemed reasonable.
His physique has always been evil, and whatever is weird comes from it. If Zhang Haixing's inference is correct, maybe the volcanic well was steaming out at that time, and the giant bone statue rushed up, and the result was that he was still alive.
The fishhook is stuck.
"You said before that that thing is likely to be related to our future route. Why did you say that?" Wu Xie asked.
Zhang Haixing closed her eyes and thought for a while, then took out a pencil and started drawing in a small notebook.
Wu Xie looked over and saw that she seemed to be drawing random lines on the page. He didn't see anything strange at first. Unexpectedly, the more he looked at it, the more familiar the pattern drawn by Zhang Haixing seemed to him.
Where had he seen it? He knew that he had definitely seen this pattern, or it was part of this pattern.
Zhang Haixing stopped writing halfway through the painting and handed the notebook to Wu Xie for him to read, "I saw this pattern on the back of the giant bone statue. It looks like a totem or something, but it's a pity that it has been rotten by the heat all year round."
, the pattern is incomplete, and it’s pitch black under the water. With the faint light of the bone statue, I can only see and remember so much.”
Wu Xie took the piece of paper and looked left and right. The feeling of déjà vu became stronger and stronger. Where had he seen this thing before?
Feng also came over to look at it and said to himself, "Since it is a river-calming stone, could the one on the giant bone statue be a totem related to the Kangbalo tribe?"
"Kang Balo's totem?" Wu Xie murmured, then shook his head affirmatively, "No, I have seen Kang Balo's totem, and it doesn't look like this."
"Hey, Tianzhen." The fat man suddenly leaned into Wu Xie's ear and whispered in a low voice, "Do you still remember the secret between the tattoos of the Zhang family and the Yinshan Mountains that we discovered when we were at Banai Ancient Tower?"
After the fat man suggested it, Wu Xie subconsciously touched the Bodhi bracelet on his wrist, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, "I understand."
The others were puzzled, but Wu Xie directly asked Feng for the incomplete star map, "I know the next route."
General Feng was doubtful, but seeing Wu Xie's firm expression, he thought about it and took out the star map.
The fat man knew what he was going to do. The floor was too dusty, so he spread out a sleeping bag in advance.
Wu Xie placed the star map and the incomplete totem painting on his sleeping bag, and then used a pencil to draw lines on the star map according to the empty spaces inside the totem.
"Come and take a look." He stopped writing for a while and called Zhang Haixing and others to come over.
Feng came forward impatiently, and when he saw it, he was stunned. His voice could not suppress the trembling, "This... this is a scorpion!"
"To be precise, it's one-third of the scorpions." Wu Xie added.
The Zhang family and the Kangbalo people had a close relationship thousands of years ago, and the two families had similar methods of hiding maps.
The paper on which the totem was drawn was too small, so Wu Xie simply enlarged the lines on it and copied them onto the star map. He studied architecture, so it was not difficult for him to enlarge the pattern in proportion according to the position of the stars.
.
The result was just as he and Fatty expected, half of the star map and the mysterious totem were superimposed, and the empty space happened to be part of a scorpion sitting on a lotus.
No wonder he found this pattern very familiar from the beginning.
Feng stared at the freshly baked half-broken scorpion for a long time, but still couldn't see where the route Wu Xie said was, "So, how should we go next?"
Zhang Haixing also looked at Wu Xie, waiting for his answer.
"Look here." Wu Xie pointed at the half-broken tail of the scorpion with a pencil, drew a winding route upwards along the tail, and said, "The canyon we passed before is this tail. According to the
Just keep moving forward with the pattern lines, but there are still some uncertain places, and I think we still have to pay attention to avoid these places, which may be dangerous."
Zhang Haixing pointed to the two branches at the end of the line he drew and asked, "What does this mean? Could there be two roads behind it?"
Wu Xie nodded, "There are too few clues at hand. I can't determine which of these two routes is correct. I can only take one step at a time."
Zhang Haixing looked at Wu Xie and praised: "I didn't expect that people from Jingjing Company have studied the star map for decades, and unexpectedly asked you to solve it. Sure enough, I underestimated your ability before."
Seeing Feng's face looking a little embarrassed, Wu Xie quickly waved his hand, "It's all a coincidence. If I hadn't seen this thing before, I wouldn't have been able to find the key so easily."
Zhang Haixing smoothly put the map into his arms and said: "It's getting late, everyone should take the time to rest. We will set off early tomorrow morning." After that, he turned around and got back into his sleeping bag.
Wu Xie and the fat man said a few more words, then added more charcoal to the fire and went to sleep.
Tonight it was Feng's turn to watch the night. When everyone's breathing gradually became evener, looking at the thin moonlight on the floor in front of the window, the disguise that he usually used to treat others was removed from his face. When his expression was expressionless, he seemed to be a set person.
Programmed robots.
After confirming that Wu Xie and the others were asleep, Feng quietly walked to the outside of the Lama Temple, lay down on the edge of the platform, and pulled out a silver metal suitcase from under the wooden board, which was left behind by the previous team.
He carefully took out the instruments and equipment inside, took out a new battery from his pocket and replaced it. Then, Feng put on his earphones and began to send secret messages to the preparatory team that would enter the mountain later.
In a certain snow cave in the snowfield, Zhang Haike and his party were also resting.
Suddenly, the night watchman detected the same frequency signal as the previous two times, and immediately woke up Zhang Haike and reported the situation to him.
"It has been sent three times in total. This time the ciphertext has been extended." Zhang Haiyuan said.
Zhang Haike took the note and translated the information based on the code they had deciphered before.
[I know the follow-up route. I need to superimpose the star map to get the Scorpio pattern to guide the way. Tomorrow I will take the first step with the bell-ringer and others. There is a river calming stone in the lake, which is suspected to be the entrance to the ancient tomb. You can find a way to find out. The rest of the information will be left here
old place]
"This old spy is quite capable, and he actually managed to hide it from Bai Ci." Zhang Haiyuan said angrily.
Zhang Haike chuckled and said, "I don't think so. Although Bai Ci is young, he is very deep in the city. Even I sometimes fall into the trap if I am not careful. Don't underestimate him."
Zhang Haiyuan shrugged, "As the young clan leader of the Kangbalo tribe, he has such an important burden on his shoulders. He doesn't dare to let down his guard against anyone even if he thinks about it."
"Oh, by the way, uncle, do we need to intercept the information this time?" Zhang Haiyuan asked. In order to lead the enemy into the snowy mountains in the last two times, they just silently monitored the two coordinate information sent by Feng.
"You have intercepted it, right?" Zhang Haike glanced sideways at him, "Behead first and then report. If there is no organization or discipline, ten points will be deducted."
Zhang Haiyuan suddenly wailed with a grimace on his face, his plump face wrinkled together, "Can you change it to a deduction of money? My score really can't be deducted anymore. If you deduct any more, I won't be able to pass this year."
The other Zhang family members who were awakened by the noise chuckled lightly, and someone said: "Hai Yuan, if you fail again this time, your graduation period will be extended and you will become a repeater."
Zhang Haiyuan tried to save her precarious score with innocent and pitiful eyes.
"No need to discuss." Zhang Haike refused very coldly and ruthlessly. Looking at Zhang Haiyuan's expression as if the sky was falling, he finally suppressed a smile and said, "But if you perform well in this mission, I will give you extra points."
It’s not impossible.”
Zhang Haiyuan suddenly seemed to have been given a shot of blood, his face flushed, and he gave a two-finger salute in a cheeky manner, "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
The Zhang family members who were standing in front of the monitoring equipment suddenly intercepted another signal and immediately told Zhang Haike, "The German is still transmitting information."
