"Friend in front~~~" An Liman greeted after confirming that there was a person in front of him.
Unfortunately, there was no response for a while, so Fatty Wang loaded the gun and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid. If you don't say anything, I will shoot."
"Okay, stop shouting, he's dead." Hao Shuai pressed the muzzle of Fatty Wang's gun.
"Dead?" Fatty Wang looked confused.
"Lao Hu, watch them, don't let them act rashly, I'll go over and check the situation." Hao Shuai knew that there was a black snake with extremely venomous poison here.
Although only two appear in this valley in the plot, this is a real world and you don’t know how many there are. To be on the safe side, it’s better to explore the path yourself first.
"Shengun, let me go there with you!" Hu Bayi said with some worry.
"Need not."
Hao Shuai waved his hand, then went straight to the body and used the engineering shovel he took from Lao Hu to lift off the turban covering his mouth.
The deceased was a Caucasian, hmm~, so to speak, because the man's skin and flesh were blue at this time, and under the illumination of the fireworks, there was a trace of blue light, so he couldn't be a blue man.
He is about thirty years old, with two eyes staring at the sky, refusing to rest in peace.
Sensing that there was a strange black snake hidden in the backpack of the corpse, Hao Shuai used an engineering shovel to poke at the corpse. Sure enough, a strange snake suddenly sprang out from behind the backpack. The black scales on the snake's body were shining, and there was a black flesh crown on its head.
About thirty centimeters long, the snake flicked its body and rushed straight towards Hao Shuai's face.
Fortunately, Hao Shuai was prepared. He swung the engineer shovel in his hand and chopped the snake into two pieces. Then he swung the engineer shovel in his hand and smashed it down, smashing the snake's head into a pulp. There was a lot of liquid flowing out of the broken snake head.
Less inky black juice.
"Holy stick, be careful~~"
"Taoist Master, there is a snake~"
…
Everything just happened happened in a flash of lightning, so it was only after Hao Shuai killed the strange snake that Hu Bayi and the others spoke out to remind him.
"You don't have to come over yet, there are still corpses over there, be careful of the strange snake." Hao Shuai stopped Hu Bayi and others who wanted to come up to help, picked up the pistol on the corpse, and walked towards the other corpses.
As Hao Shuai threw out a few more cold fireworks, illuminating the surrounding area, Hu Bayi and the others saw more than two corpses. On the ground in front of them, four male corpses lay horizontally and vertically.
"Bang bang bang~"
As Hao Shuai fired several times, all the strange snakes he had lured out by scaring the grass away were killed with one shot. After carefully sensing the surrounding area again and confirming that there were no strange snakes, Hao Shuai called Hu Bayi and the others forward.
"Shengun, what kind of snake is this? I've never seen it before." Hu Bayi asked, pointing to the snake corpse on the ground.
"This strange snake should be 'Jingjian Agama', also known as the black-eyed strange snake. It has extremely strong vitality. Even after being cut into two pieces, it can still attack people within a short period of time.
Legend has it that it is the guardian of the ancient city of Jingjue. It is very poisonous and will kill people within seconds after biting. They are afraid of bright lights. It seems that these tomb robbers were bitten to death by this strange black-eyed snake. Be careful, this black-eyed snake
No one knows how many strange snakes there are in Jingjue Ancient City."
Hao Shuai did a good job in educating the people present about the characteristics and weaknesses of strange snakes, fearing that if they were bitten in the ancient city of Jingjue, even Hao Shuai would not be able to save them.
"Hiss~~"
Everyone was so frightened by Hao Shuai's words that they took a deep breath. The snake venom that can kill people in a few seconds was beyond their scope of cognition.
"An Liman, come and see if these are the people you brought into the desert before?" Hao Shuai asked.
"Yes, it's them." An Liman confirmed after identifying them in detail according to Hao Shuai's request.
"Are there only four of them?"
"That's right, four of them, they're all here."
"That's good. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's cross the valley quickly!" At this time, all the camels were dead due to the strange snakes and returned to normal. Hao Shuai called to Professor Chen and the others to move forward.
Before leaving, Hao Shuai asked Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang to bring all the supplies of the tomb robbers, including the three AK47s and a backpack of military yellow explosives.
By the light of the cold smoke and fire, the group hurried out of the dark valley of Zagrama until they reached the open space outside the mountain pass, and then stopped.
At this time, a dark red gap opened in the distant sky, and the sun was finally coming out. We all looked to the east involuntarily.
The light slowly turned to rose color, blood red, and finally turned into thousands of golden lights. The top of the sun's arc was exposed. At this moment, the boundless sea of sand seemed to have turned into gold in God's furnace.
In this desert like golden lava, a huge city appeared in front of everyone, with countless ruins, various houses and buildings of brick, wood, earth and stone, and countless towers in the city. The most prominent one was a tilted
The black stone tower stands quietly in the city.
"It's Jingjue Ancient City, we're here, we're finally here!"
"Professor, we finally found it!"
“Jingjue Ancient City, great!”
…
Seeing the ruins of the ancient city of Jingjue, the group seemed extremely excited, and the fatigue they had suffered in the past few days was swept away at this moment.
Just when everyone was preparing to walk to Jingjue Ancient City in one go, old man An Liman suddenly changed his mind and shook his head like a rattle. He said that entering Jingjue Ancient City would be cursed, and he would not enter Jingjue even if he died.
Remains of the ancient city.
Hao Shuai glanced at An Liman in surprise. If he hadn't behaved normally along the way, Hao Shuai would have thought that the old man was a time traveler. Otherwise, how would he know that he would be cursed if he entered?!
Seeing that no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, he had no choice but to make some rearrangements and asked him to set up camp at the mountain pass and take care of the camels and supplies, while the rest of them took the "No. 11 bus" to move forward.
Originally, Hao Shuai could have forced An Liman to go with him, but he was too lazy to force him. Besides, he was not needed for the rest of the trip, so it didn't matter.
Because they needed to carry a lot of equipment, food and water, and there were two old and weak people, Professor Chen and Ye Yixin, they walked and stopped all the way. It was almost noon when the group arrived outside the gate of Jingjue Ancient City.
Judging from the scale of the remaining city walls, the ancient city of Jingjue was large enough to accommodate fifty or sixty thousand people. We must know that famous cities such as Loulan only had a population of ten to twenty thousand residents and an army of more than three thousand in their peak period.
The city gate has long since collapsed into disarray, and the trench in front of the city has been filled with yellow sand. Through the city gate, it can be seen that most of the buildings inside are buried in the desert, and the rest have collapsed and weathered.
At this time, the silent ancient city of Jingjue is opening its doors, waiting for another batch of visitors to step inside.
"Professor Chen, it's almost afternoon now. Let's rest outside the city for a day and then enter the city early tomorrow morning." Hao Shuai stopped his archaeological teammates who were eager to enter the city.
"Hao Daozhang, we have arrived at the city gate. Let us go in, let's go inside and rest." The long-awaited ancient city of Jingjue was right in front of us, but he could not enter the city right away. Professor Chen immediately became anxious.
This is like taking off your pants and loading your bullets, only to be told that your "relatives" are here today, which makes you scratch your head and become restless.
"Professor Chen, you have been walking for a day and a night, and your physical condition is very poor at this time. I think you don't want to get sick and injured at this critical moment." Hao Shuai looked at the impatient archaeological team members and continued: "
As for spending the night in the city? Have you forgotten that weird snake in the valley?"
