"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 these mountains, it was all endless desert without the slightest breath of life. But in the basin, there were 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. From the top of the mountain where Kai stood, looking into the rain forest, in the deepest part of the rain forest, a golden light was showing
its existence.
Although it is indeed contrary to common sense to have a rainforest in the middle of the desert, no one would back down after reaching this point. The group of people packed their bags and entered the rainforest. In order to prevent danger, the group of people was divided into three groups according to their combat effectiveness.
The first group was Kai and Catherine with a group of sailors from the Parrot. They were the vanguard to open the way and serve as the resting place of the Scorpion Emperor. It would be a lie to say that there is no danger here.
Therefore, the group of people with the strongest combat effectiveness should clear the way in front, so that they can immediately warn if there is any danger.
The middle group consisted of baggage trains and the old, weak, sick and disabled, led by Captain Nemo and Courtman. By the way, some Bedouin and British soldiers were also among them. Evelyn, Jonathan, Dr. Terrence Bay, etc. were nothing.
All the guys with fighting prowess are in it.
The ones at the back were the Bedouins, Mr. Hyde and Adsby. They were mainly responsible for not letting the enemy get behind them, and also for keeping 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 sun 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 give each other secret signals from time to time to maintain distance.
After entering the rainforest, the sky looks extremely gloomy, and the sunlight is blocked by the dense canopy of trees that blocks the sky. However, this does not give people a comfortable feeling. On the contrary, what they feel when they are there is 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 track.
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 was gone, he has always believed that he is a person favored by God.
, becoming a little fearless.
To put it bluntly, it means expansion.
After the two people walked for a long time and found that there was no danger, their minds began to get excited. They were 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 like a mass grave than an open space. 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
Looking at the other side, he 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 valuable? It was at least from hundreds of years ago.
Alright?"
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 his nature is very similar to Daniels. He likes to spend time and play in the world. He is very enthusiastic 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. Obviously 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 guys were doing tomb robbing
It's a good job, but it's completely nonsense to say how professional it is, so the movements can't be gentle. They didn't expect that the eagle flag had been placed here for at least a thousand years, so when they rudely picked up the eagle flag
At that moment, the eagle flag 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 these two live treasures and shook his head with a smile. Apart from anything else, these two people have really great mentality.
Seeing that nothing happened, Kai planned 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 fighting qualities. They immediately formed a circle back to back and shouted warnings in English and Arabic. When the people behind heard this, they immediately moved to the center of the team.
Gather together, then spread out, surrounding the old, weak, sick and disabled in the middle, with the guns pointing 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 a clearing as quickly as possible. These weeds and shrubs were too much to obstruct the view.
But when everyone finished everything, the surroundings were still calm. A group of people waited for a while, but they did not relax. On the contrary, they became even more nervous.
It's so quiet, so quiet.
There used to be constant chirping of birds and beasts, but now, apart from the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, they could no longer hear any other sounds. Anyone with some experience would know that this situation meant big trouble.
If the enemy appears at the beginning, everyone will not be too nervous and just do it. 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.
Fear often comes from the unknown.
As time passed by, everyone's nerves began to become more and more tense.
At this time, suddenly 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 bush. Then people who didn't notice the movement also subconsciously fired because of nervousness.
.
For a moment, the sound of gunfire made the jungle extremely lively. When Kai shouted loudly for them to cease fire, the ammunition in everyone's guns was empty.
Kai can sense if an enemy is approaching, but he can't control the tension in other people's hearts.
