Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 158 Untie the knot
Chen Xiaopang and Ding Lingling carefully inspected the living facilities and architectural patterns of this ancient city ruins. Chu Changjiang seems to be really good at archaeology, not only working with them, but also often putting forward very professional opinions, even Chen Xiaopang admires him.
That made Bai Yang can't help but think that maybe Chu Changjiang really has a great interest in archaeology, but he and Tie Niu think too much.
Hongxing also followed a few people to learn while helping to start.
Max naturally followed closely around Chu Changjiang.
Chen Dalin is the only one who is only interested in antique treasures, and he doesn't care at all about why this ancient city was born and why it died.
So Chen Dalin simply found a shady place to sleep.
Poplar and Iron Bull walked casually along the street, and were surprised to find that there were many white bones buried in the yellow sand, whether it was a wide street or a narrow corner.
Often as you walk, you will see a white bone floating out of the sand. Or if you step on something hard under your feet, you can see that it is a white bone.
Most of them were human bones, and Poplar picked up an arm bone to inspect it, and suddenly found that there were also very clear tooth marks on it.
According to Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang, these white bones are the kind recorded in that notebook...... A madman like a beast has been bitten to death and eaten!" Iron Bull said to Poplar.
Poplar nodded, imagining the kind of tragic scene that happened a thousand years ago, and his heart naturally became heavy.
Ding Lingling and others gathered to dig yellow sand between several broken walls, and judging from the area between these broken walls, this should have been a very spacious house back then, and it must have been the residence of rich and noble families.
It's a pity that there are only a few broken walls left, and the roof beams and the like are not known to have been blown away by the storm, or after thousands of years, they have all turned to dust.
Poplar Tie Niu slowly approached, just in time to see Ding Lingling dig out another white bone from the sand, take a closer look, and say: "There are also tooth marks on this, and it seems that all the people in this town have been bitten to death and eaten!"
She frowned and gritted her teeth slightly, obviously thinking of that kind of tragic scene.
Poplar sighed softly and squatted down beside a few people.
Chen Xiaopang glanced back at him, and immediately buried his head again coldly and continued to shave sand.
He has always been hostile to Poplar, but today's performance still makes Poplar secretly surprised, wondering if he has offended him again?
Or was he so serious, because he couldn't hold back his anger because he and the iron ox had crashed into the castle, so that the remaining artifacts in the cellar under the castle could not be retrieved?
Bai Yang pondered whether to say sorry in front of so many people, but Hongxing suddenly opened his mouth and said, "The population of this city is not 1,000 but 800......, right? How many man-eating maniacs have poured into this city?"
The others didn't speak, but Chu Changjiang answered: "If these madmen are really people from the Celestial Phenomena Kingdom who have mutated because of the big explosion, then there must be a lot more people in this small town in terms of number!"
"Yes!" Ding Lingling sighed with a wry smile, "Fortunately, these madmen have gone through thousands of years, even if there are some descendants left, there will definitely not be many, otherwise we will have to go to the Black Desert to find the Celestial Elephant Kingdom, it will be very, very terrifying!"
"What is terrible, aren't there two strong men here? they even broke the castle wall, what kind of beast madman are they afraid of!" Chen Xiaopang suddenly answered coldly.
Poplar Iron Bull was speechless.
Ding Lingling immediately stretched her pretty face and said, "Senior Brother Chen, why are you doing this all the time? are all colleagues, do you hope that they can't break through the wall, and then they will be blocked in the castle by the desert scorpion and can't get out?"
"You know that I don't mean that, I'm just ......" Chen Xiaopang gritted his teeth and simply told the truth indignantly, "They are all colleagues, why do you hide some things from me alone? They must have something to hide from me, and you and Hongxing know about this matter, otherwise you wouldn't be surprised at all!
His words made Ding Lingling speechless and difficult to justify.
Chen Xiaopang was even more angry in his heart, so he simply got up and walked far away to dig sand.
Chu Changjiang smiled: "It's true that even I am very strange, why can you two have so much strength?
"What's the secret! I have had a lot of strength since I was a child, and Lao Bai has been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and besides, the castle wall has been around for more than a thousand years, if you go and hit it, maybe you can hit it through!" Tie Niu said.
Chu Changjiang smiled, although he made it clear that he didn't believe it, he didn't continue to ask.
Bai Yang thought about doing things together after all, and because of Ding Lingling, Chen Xiaopang was already very concerned about him, if he was disgusted again, this group would be a plate of loose sand.
So after thinking about it, he still walked up to Chen Xiaopang and shouted, "Brother Chubby!"
Chen Xiaopang ignored him, and cleaned the sand along a section of the wall, revealing the green brick ground below.
Bai Yang also squatted down beside him and said, "Little fat brother, there are some things that I don't want to hide from you, it's really ...... Even I'm still confused, and I don't even understand what's going on!"
"If you don't understand what's going on, then don't say it at all!" Chen Xiaopang choked back directly.
Poplar endured it, and simply took care of himself that the iron bull was bitten by the blood wolf, opened the ancient tomb to save the iron bull, found an immortal medicine and fed it to the iron bull, and so on and so on and so on and so
Only Chen Xiaopang was stunned, and it took a long time to take a breath and stammer: "What do you mean, there is really an immortal elixir in the world, you and Tie Niu...... Or to be more precise, Tie Niu ate most of it, but you also absorbed half of it in your blood?"
"It should be so, I didn't know it was an immortal elixir at the time, but the situation was urgent, and I could only think of it as an antidote to the poison of the blood wolf!" replied Poplar.
Chen Xiaopang lowered his head and panted again and again, as if he couldn't accept it for a short time.
Poplar didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
Until Chen Xiaopang suddenly raised his head again and said, "Yes, on the full moon night last month, you made a lot of noise in the dormitory, and when you got up early the next morning, you found that your shelf bed was completely scattered, that is...... You were torn apart with your bare hands, and you have been Hercules since then?"
"Yes!" Poplar nodded, and simply said it all without reservation, "but at that time the two of us only had seizures on the night of the full moon, and later ...... at the Crescent Spring."
He accidentally bumped into the Crescent Spring, and shared a golden python gall with the Iron Bull.
Chen Xiaopang was dumbfounded again, and when Bai Yang finished speaking, he blurted out and asked, "You two...... Do you know that the golden python gall is a treasure, or is it ...... You are born savages, why do you dare to eat anything?"
Bai Yang couldn't help but smile embarrassedly and said, "We were forced to have a blood wolf poison attack by the golden python because we were fighting with the golden python, so our minds are not very clear at all, otherwise, ...... Later, after I woke up, Tie Niu and I both felt that it was a shame to say this, and we didn't know what the consequences of eating this golden python gall would be, so we ...... We just buried this in our hearts and never mentioned it to anyone!"
Chen Xiaopang looked at him with two eyes, and suddenly asked her, "You didn't even tell Lingling?"
Bai Yang opened his mouth to say, "Especially her, I dare not tell", but when the words came to his mouth, he urgently changed his words, and said with a wry smile: "You also said that eating python gall bladder raw is something that only savages will do, how dare I tell girls, I'm afraid it will scare them!"
Chen Xiaopang was stunned for a while, then finally sighed and said, "Okay, I misunderstood you before......!" At least I personally think that any phenomenon that is different from normal people is not a good phenomenon......! I advise you and Tie Niu to go back to Xi'an this time, and go to the hospital to have a good physical examination!"
Bai Yang didn't expect him to have such thoughts, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, I don't think it's a good phenomenon either!" So I reported the matter to Uncle Ding as soon as possible, and Uncle Ding had asked Lingling to take me and Tie Niu to Beijing for a detailed examination, but the results have not come out until now!"
"I hope ...... It won't be a bad thing!" Chen Xiaopang said, thinking of something very suddenly, and couldn't help but change his complexion, "It's not good!"
"What's wrong?" Poplar startled.
"Tonight is the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar, and tomorrow is the night of the full moon, you and Tie Niu...... Nothing will happen, right?"
"It's going to be fine!" Poplar hurriedly said, "At most, it's just going crazy and letting out the extra energy......! I'll go far with the Iron Bull, and I won't frighten you!"
"Now that I already know about the matter, there is nothing to be frightened or not frightened, I am only worried about this kind of thing now, try not to let Boss Chu and Old Man Chen know, otherwise once it spreads, I am afraid that you and Tie Niu will become the target of those who vainly try to live forever!"
Bai Yang never expected Chen Xiaopang to say such a thing, which is enough to prove that he is indifferent on the surface, but in fact, he still cares a lot about him Bai Yang.
Bai Yang was even more grateful in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Brother Chubby for being thoughtful, Tie Niu and I will definitely be cautious and try not to let others know about this!"
Chen Xiaopang nodded, and said, "You don't have to thank me for anything, after all...... Like Lingling said, everyone is a colleague, although I don't like you, but I don't want you to have an accident with Tie Niu......! So far, you've done a pretty good job as the group leader!"
Poplar was overjoyed, at least according to his feelings, Chen Xiaopang's praise was sincere, not hypocritical.
