This translation gave everyone a breath of relief, but Constance was adamant that there were no supernatural powers in this world other than science. Although Constance couldn't explain the strange crossing that happened to him, he was convinced that there would be the answer he wanted behind the door. And the so-called curse is only to intimidate the tomb robbers and not to disturb the peace of the dead. ”

Constance wanted to find out what was going on, and O'Connor was intrigued, and they finally decided to work together to discover the secrets behind the mysterious stone door. They entered the cave with torches, but no other bodies were found along the way, and it was certain that the rest of the expedition that Constance had brought with them did not leave, but all entered the burial chamber behind the stone door. ”

"Behind the stone gate were neatly carved steps, and as they continued to descend, they came across a stone gate that was almost identical to the previous one, and the text on it had been translated by the guide, and they received a warning of 'one step forward, no return'. The local guide was too frightened to go any further, but Constance insisted that it was a bluff and pushed the door open without hesitation. ”

"There is no terrifying picture behind the stone gate, there are no smooth steps inside, but the terrain has begun to flatten, and you should be able to reach the bottom of the cave if you go further. They made their way through a long corridor filled with various mechanisms. However, before them, the expedition team brought by Constance had already triggered these traps first, and dozens of white bones proved that more than half of the team members had lost their lives here. ”

"Forward. They encountered a terrible insect, and the members of the team who would follow them were turned into bones in the blink of an eye. The living ran as fast as they could, but a stone gate blocked their way. ”

Just when everyone was desperate, the group of flesh-devouring insects suddenly stopped three meters away from the stone gate, and then quickly retreated like a tide. Instead of rejoicing in the aftermath of the catastrophe, the people who escaped the death fell into deeper despair. There should be something very terrifying behind the stone gate, that kind of extremely dangerous aura. Through the stone gate, you can clearly feel the existence of this threat. ”

"There were no more warnings carved on the smooth stone door, only a monster with many tentacles like an octopus, and the accompanying guide was horrified at the sight of this relief. He was hunched in a corner in confusion, shouting vague words like 'Duyimi'. He should know the monster, but except for the name. No more useful information could be asked. ”

The real answer was behind the stone gate, and there was no way back anyway, so Constance finally pushed the stone door open and took a step inside, stepping on the soles of his feet not on hard rock, but on loose and soft sand. According to the calculation of the distance they have traveled all the way, they have come to a position of at least more than 2 meters underground at this time, and it is an unbelievable thing that so much sand appears here. ”

They walked a long way, and the empty cave behind the stone gate was filled with sand. There was nothing peculiar about it, and they didn't encounter the terrible monster 'Duimi' that the guide had spoken of, and just as they let their guard down, a terrifying roar came from afar, followed by a strong wind full of the smell of rot. Blew out all the torches in the ranks. ”

There was a cool breeze in the darkness, and the team members around him were dragged into the dunes one after another by the tentacles that suddenly stretched out from under their feet. The horrific attack came and went as fast as they could, and by the time they re-lit the torches to count the numbers, there were seven fewer people in the group, and Sophie, Conston's girl, and Rachel, O'Connor's wife, were dragged away by the monster. ”…,

The crowd chased after them with their weapons. When they came to the center of the cave, they saw clearly the monster that attacked them, the 'Duyimi' in the mouth of this guide was very similar to the appearance on the stone door relief, but its main body was parasitic on a coffin that emitted a pale blue shimmer, unable to move, but its tentacles could reach far away. ”

"When O'Connor and the others arrived, three members of the team had already been sucked into a blur of flesh by this monster, and the weapons in their hands could not kill the monster at all, but more people became the mouths of 'Duimi'. In the desperate situation, O'Connor smashed the parasitic blue coffin of 'Duymi' with an axe, and found that there was indeed a gorgeously dressed woman with a peerless face, who seemed to be under the influence of a demon, and O'Connor actually made a ghost to reach out and touch the other person's face. ”

"The blue coffin was shattered, and the monster 'Duymi' writhed wildly as if it had been fatally hit, and Rachel and Sophie, who had been entangled in its tentacles, were thrown aside by it, and all its tentacles were retracted and smashed towards O'Connor underneath him."

The restaurant is elegantly and comfortably furnished, with a spacious space with carpets, sofas on all sides, and many brightly colored paintings on the walls. Under the soft light, all the furniture and utensils shimmer with a soft glow. The dining table covered with white tablecloths, delicate knives and forks, and red wine swaying in the candlelight reflect the beautiful face of Ye Rong.

According to the theorem of "the protagonist is not dead", Ye Rong knew in her heart that O'Connor would be fine, but Chen Feng said the most thrilling part of the story vividly, and her eyes still revealed a strong sense of worry, "What happened next?" ”

O'Connor touched the face of the queen in the coffin, and the corpse, which had been preserved for thousands of years without decay, turned into ashes in an instant, and the dune demon 'Dumi', which was parasitic on the coffin, lost its life barrier and quickly withered. The terrible insects they had encountered outside the door before swarmed and devoured Duyimi's body in an instant, and finally all of them poured into the small round hole in the center of the stone platform where the coffin was placed, and disappeared. ”

"That's the end of the story?" Ye Rong propped her chin with her hand and listened fascinated.

"This is the end of the expedition to the ancient desert city, but the story is not over." Chen Feng shook his wine glass elegantly, looked at the red wine swirling inside, and said, "After escaping from the 'ghost cave', they returned to the UK smoothly. While taking a shower, O'Connor noticed an eye-like red mark on his back, as did his wife, Rachel. ”

"Is that mysterious curse?" After listening to Chen Feng's narration, Ye Rong immediately thought of a possibility.

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "All the people who survived the expedition to the ancient city have similar symptoms, the most serious case is Sophie's father Conston, the eye-like mark on his back has turned dark purple, and then he began to be delirious, accompanied by intermittent shock. The hospital couldn't find any problems, and all the doctors were helpless about this strange disease. ”

"This curse is definitely the clue for the next episode of the film" Ye Rong smiled, leaving a suspense at the end of the credits, which is a common tactic used in commercial blockbusters, "Where are they going to venture in the next episode?" ”

"Well..."Chen Feng deliberately made a very hesitant look, and after successfully arousing Ye Rong's curiosity, he spread his hands very scoundrelly, "I haven't thought about the plot below yet." ”

Ye Rong glared at him angrily, and this morning she suddenly received a call from Chen Feng, saying that she was asking her to come out for dinner in the evening. Although Ye Rong couldn't understand why this guy suddenly ran to Shenhai, she still dressed up seriously and happily went to the appointment. Chen Feng took over the entire restaurant, and went to great lengths to create a romantic effect of a candlelight dinner, Ye Rong always felt that he was not just here to tell stories to herself. …,

Chen Feng used a knife to cut the steak on the plate into small pieces, and then stuffed it into his mouth piece by piece with a fork. He chewed something in his mouth and said, "When the exam is over, I'm going to go to XJ during the winter vacation." ”

Ye Rong looked at the fruit salad on her plate and said an absent-minded "oh".

Chen Feng swallowed the last piece of beef on the plate into his stomach and wiped his mouth with a napkin, "I know you happened to be free during that time... If you don't mind, we can go together. ”

"Together?" Ye Rong didn't expect Chen Feng to make such a request. She was stunned, and then stared at Chen Feng with a suspicious face: "Are you really going to XJ for a tour?" ”

Under Ye Rong's bright and clear gaze, Chen Feng was really embarrassed to lie, he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "The main thing is to travel, and by the way, I will also do an investigation." ”

The clever Ye Rong immediately linked Chen Feng's trip to XJ with the story he had just told, "Are you going to XJ's Loulan Ancient City area?" ”

"You know where too?" This time it was Chen Feng's turn to be surprised.

"Some time ago, the BBC's geography channel introduced the area of XJ." Ye Rong explained that the BBC is an English-language channel that belongs to a subsidiary of the British BBC broadcaster in China. Although it is located in China, the BBC does not buy Huaguo's account, but often reports on the bad side of Huaguo.

"You still like to listen to the radio?" Chen Feng nodded with relief, "But the BBC report definitely didn't say anything good." ”

"They say that the desertification in that area is very serious, and the sand and dust that rolls up from there can not only blow to the capital Yanjing, but can even cross the ocean and affect the island country." Yerong relayed the exact words from the BBC radio without commenting.

Chen Feng shrugged indifferently, "Sure enough, that's the case." ”

Ye Rong saw the disdain in Chen Feng's expression, and asked curiously, "Aren't they right?" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
