Chapter 173: A Palace in the Desert

Desolate earth, golden sand dunes.

Li Jie, who was sitting in the helicopter, looked down at the vast desert without a trace of life, and in the distance, whirlwinds continued to roll up the sand, peeling off layer after layer......

At this time, the few people around him lost the noise of yesterday, and were replaced by silence. makes Li Jie a little unaccustomed to the extreme contrast that these guys show immediately after getting on the plane.

Even Tie Niu, who had the most trouble yesterday, although there was still a faint smell of wine in his mouth at the moment, his face was like a statue, staring intently at a heavy machine gun in his arms, and he kept carefully wiping it.

The driver in front was a tall man of Caucasia, who was introduced by Lao Yu as a Russian "friend".

It was a "friend" who drove a military helicopter.

This Russian "friend" sent a backpack and a box to Lao Yu. The box was lost at the bar, but the stack of weapons in the box had been taken by Lao Yu and the others.

Lao Yu in the front row of the cabin stared at a square electronic signal in his hand, constantly directing the direction of the helicopter.

Finally, Lao Yu pointed to his feet and let the helicopter land on an empty sand dune.

No one in Lao Yu's group of companions questioned a word, even if they stood here and looked at the yellow sand all around.

When the black dot of the helicopter finally disappeared into the sky, Lao Yu took out a detonator from his backpack and handed it to Tie Niu.

Under the command of Lao Yu, Tie Niu and several people dispersed the detonators into a huge circle.

Boom Boom Boom! The continuous loud noise caused a brief tinnitus in everyone's ears.

When the yellow sand of the sky scattered like rain, a towering cyan stone arch appeared in the deep pit in the center of the circle.

The stone gate is more than three meters high, as if it had been dug out of a single boulder. Buried under the yellow sand for many years, it is polished by the constantly flowing sand grains, and the stone gate looks very smooth. Judging from the carved patterns around it, it should be something from ancient times, and there is a strange pattern in the very center of the top of the door. The edge of the pattern is a complete circle, and inside the circle is a five-clawed golden dragon carrying the sun.

Behind the stone gate was a dark passage, and the sunlight could only shine on the ground at the edge of the door, making it difficult for the eye to see what was in the passage behind the stone gate.

After reconfirming the signal instrument in his hand, Lao Yu threw this useless burden in the yellow sand without pity.

In the middle of Lao Yu's move of raising his arm, a group of people turned over and jumped into the sand pit. Immediately, Tie Niu picked up the heavy machine gun, pointed the muzzle of the gun in front of him, pulled his finger on the trigger, and took the lead in getting into the door.

As soon as Pu entered the passage, it was dark in front of him. Except for the Iron Bull, everyone held a glow stick in their hands, and with the faint green light that illuminated the ground in front of them no more than half a meter, they cautiously leaned forward one by one.

There was only one straight road to the passage, and the black walls were pressed against the smooth stone walls. At the foot are stone slabs that are linked together, and various patterns are carved on the stone slabs. Although he couldn't understand the meaning of these patterns, in Li Jie's mind, he vaguely felt that the contents of these patterns were all connected.

After walking for about 100 meters, a group of people did not say a word, and even the sound of footsteps was deliberately concealed.

There was gradually the sound of water droplets in my ears, as if water droplets were falling into a deep pool.

The presence of water in the desert is strange in itself, let alone a waterhole.

After another 100 meters, the sound of water droplets became more and more obvious. A faint light appeared in front of the straight passage, and it seemed that there was a figure shaking in it.

Lao Yu stretched out his hand and pressed it on Tie Niu's shoulder, and at the same time raised the glow stick to signal. At the same time that Lao Yu turned off the glow stick, several green lights behind him were also extinguished instantly.

In the darkness all around, there was no sound. The group paused, looking vigilantly at the light ahead.

After waiting for half a minute, nothing unusual was found. Lao Yu pressed his hand on Tie Niu's shoulder again, and then a group of people quickened their pace and walked towards the light. But there was still no sound.

A few meters closer to the light source, the team stopped again.

In front of him, a circular arch carved with mysterious patterns appeared, and behind the arch was the appearance of a palace, and the light emanated from the palace. There was no fire or light around the palace, and it seemed that the strange stone walls were glowing on their own.

It can already be seen that the figure in front of him is Zhang Laoer. At this time, Zhang Lao Er was facing away from the arch and walking towards the depths of the palace step by step.

Li Jie's heart tugged together, and he couldn't hold back that he didn't shout.

I saw Lao Yu reach into his arms and take out a rubber ball, shake his hand and throw it out. The rubber ball bounced off the stone slab and rolled across the arch until far away.

After a few seconds, there was still no change. Lao Yu, who raised his arm high, waved his hand violently, and a group of people rushed out like rabbits in an instant.

And when the group of them rushed through the arch one by one, they were immediately stunned.

The palace is still a palace, silent. suddenly lost the figure of Zhang Laoer.

Just a second before rushing through the arch, several people clearly saw Zhang Laoer's stumbling figure only a few steps away. But in the moment after rushing through the arch, Zhang Lao Er disappeared.

Even if it turns into green smoke, you should see the shadow of the green smoke dissipating. But Zhang Lao Er was as if he was suddenly swallowed by the air, and there was nothing to see in front of everyone's eyes.

All of them felt a chill down their spines, and they looked around vigilantly and nervously.

No one dared to speak, and they couldn't even hold their breath. At this time, in the strange palace, there was only a dragon-shaped stone sculpture in the center of the mouth, dripping drops of water, and the milky white pool below rhythmically stirred up a circle of ripples.

The ticking sound echoed in the empty palace, but it was like an electric current constantly hitting the hearts of several people, making them creepy.

Suddenly, Lao Yu's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something. The gesture was hurried, and several people behind him instantly formed a group with their guns against their backs, and rushed behind one of the stone pillars of the palace with Lao Yu's pace closely.

It is a foot wearing cloth shoes.

turned the stone pillar, and immediately highlighted Zhang Lao Er lying on the ground.

Zhang Lao Er didn't disappear, but he didn't know why he was still walking just now, and he suddenly fainted behind the pillar at this moment.

Could it be that Zhang Lao Er teleported?

Lao Yu, who leaned down, carefully touched Zhang Laoer's neck with his fingers, and then opened Zhang Laoer's pupils to take a look. Then he whispered to him: "Water! ”

The kettle was handed over from Zheng Cheng's hand.

Lao Yu aimed the mouth of the kettle at Zhang Laoer's shriveled lips and slowly fed a few mouthfuls, and when the muscles on the other party's face were obviously trembling, he used his hand to pick up the water droplets flowing from the kettle and gently sprinkled them on his forehead.

I saw that Zhang Laoer's old face was like an electric burst of excitement, and then he let out a long breath, and a pair of old eyes slowly opened.

As soon as Pu opened his eyes, Lao Yu's face was printed in Zhang Laoer's eyes, and his cloudy gaze instantly became flashing. Laboriously opened his mouth wide, and an interfering and anxious voice came out of his throat: "Quick, give me something to eat......"

Lao Yu didn't ask a word about the incomprehensible situation that happened to Zhang Lao Er, but silently watched him take the food like a hungry wolf and stuff it into his mouth desperately.

When Zhang Lao Er finished eating the third bread, Lao Yu stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Enough. When the bread reaches the stomach, it will swell with water. Eat one more and you'll die suddenly from a burst stomach! ”

Zhang Lao Er nodded, reluctantly put down the bread in his hand, and then picked up the kettle and drank a few big sips desperately.

Lao Yu stood up and put the weak Zhang Lao Er on his shoulder, and immediately ordered a few people behind him: "Let's go!" ”

At this moment, Zhang Laoer's bitter voice came from his ears: "We can't get out......"
