Chapter 19 Trainee Fellows

"Wu Dai, where did Song Xiaoshuang go, why can't you see his people, there are cobweb-like caves everywhere, let me find him, I must kick his ass hard"

"Looks like it's in a nearby cave, right? I remember that Uncle Issam seems to say to find a cave to rest and recover his strength, a few hours ago I seemed to see Uncle and Song Xiaoshuang walking here, my God, there are too many natural caves on the platform for the ancients to live, this is a well-developed karst landform, all kinds of ancient relics are too rich, we have to be busy, why is Isabel looking for him, he is not engaged in archaeological and cultural research? ”

In a dark cave, Song Xiaoshuang sat on the ground with his eyes closed like a sculpture, just finished meditating and pranayama, and in the darkness, a pair of his eyes flashed, and he was secretly thinking that he wanted to return to his peak state, and he didn't know when? I faintly heard a familiar voice, from a crack in the rock more than a foot wide, into a cave that looked like a secret room of only a few square meters, and it was two women who could be heard talking in Arabic.

Although Song Xiaoshuang couldn't understand Arabic, he had the ability to explore the surrounding environment with his mental power, and his mental power had already detected that it was Isabel and Wu Dai, the leaders of the team wearing the uniform of the off-white expedition, and the two women engaged in cultural studies met in the passage outside the cave like a spider's web.

The passage has penetrated far behind the petroglyph ruins of the terrace, and the sunlight in the canyon only leaks a little light in, so it seems that the whole passage is not well lit, and the human eye can barely see the surrounding environment clearly, and there are only Isabel and Udai in the old elder's long passage.

Wearing an off-white expedition uniform, Wu Dai carried a notebook in her chest pocket, and a leather belt was tied around her waist, and the belt was full of various archaeological gadgets, such as tool knives, small flashlights, adhesive tape, etc., neatly arranged and tied to the belt with different locks, looking like a plumber, her hands were wearing white gloves, and she was carrying a book-sized instrument in her hands.

Isabelle's braided belt not only has a small device similar to Wu Dai, but also an old military flat water bottle that she carries everywhere she goes, and she also has a pair of white gloves on her hands.

In Song Xiaoshuang's opinion, Isabel should be busy with her research work, if he knew Arabic, he wouldn't think so, but unfortunately he really wouldn't, although Isabel said his name when she talked to Udai.

This time, which lasted nearly five hours of meditation and pranayama healing, first of all, the internal qi that was overused and almost consumed from the hard work of cultivation was recovered, as a disciple of the Xingyi Fist Sect of the Inner Family Fist, of course, he attached great importance to the practice of internal strength, and the fists and feet that were played out without the assistance of internal qi were flowers, but Song Xiaoshuang had a significant difference from ordinary ancient martial arts practitioners, and the mind guarded not the upper, middle, and lower three dantian points of ordinary ancient martial arts practitioners, but a point located near the tail vertebrae, which was called the submarine chakra in the book.

Song Xiaoshuang, who has been cultivating internal qi since he was a child, according to the internal strength classics given by his master, has not cultivated a more significant internal qi in the dantian acupoint for more than ten years. The inner fist school first attaches great importance to the cultivation of internal qi, Song Xiaoshuang took great pains to read the classics that can be made public by various derivatives, and realized that the ancient martial arts practice itself is a category of cultivating the potential of the human body, so he simply abandoned the dantian school and chose the bottom wheel of the human body potential acupoint, after some hard work and practice, not only did he have a strong internal qi and showed his master's demeanor, but also coincidentally cultivated the second form of energy, that is, spiritual power, and the release of spiritual power can be called the third eye of a person. Relying on spiritual strength, Song Xiaoshuang luckily stepped into the ranks of the aliens, and his ability increased greatly, which led to a lot of things.

However, these are all his previous experiences, a large-scale use of forbidden skills has greatly damaged his ability, and now Song Xiaoshuang is trying to restore his former peak state, but it seems that there is no use for birds.

No matter what, forcibly using the forbidden spell to cause spatial energy concussion is not the first time that it has caused a backlash of ability! Anyway, I can't die and I'm afraid of a ghost, at most, I can stay in Africa for a while and don't go back to China, but fortunately, the ability to counterattack only exploded a few blood vessels Now it's better, and the range of mental power exploration has also recovered to a radius of nearly sixty meters, so that I have some certainty when I encounter the enemy.

After thinking about it secretly for a moment, Song Xiaoshuang retracted the spiritual power released from the outside with his thoughts, and quickly stood up and walked out of the dark and lightless cave secret room (as a strong ancient martial arts practitioner, Song Xiaoshuang could see night as day with the naked eye alone).

When he first came, he had already used his spiritual power to explore the situation in the secret room of the cave, which was an ordinary cave, maybe the ancients used this cave, but the cave was empty, there was nothing on the surrounding stone walls, there were no line petroglyphs like the terrace rock wall, in Song Xiaoshuang's opinion, there was not much research value, if there was really anything to discover, Song Xiaoshuang would not fail to tell Isabel.

Song Xiaoshuang walked dozens of meters away from the direction of the terrace petroglyphs in the dimly lit stone passage, and Isabel, who was wearing glasses, walked out of another cave with a flashlight, only a few meters away from Song Xiaoshuang who was walking out, with a lot of messy cobwebs on her head, and her expression was a little annoyed, and she was muttering something in French in a low voice, but Song Xiaoshuang couldn't understand what she said at all.

Seeing Song Xiaoshuang suddenly appear in the passage, Isabel's annoyed expression disappeared instantly, immediately turned off the flashlight and hung it on her belt, did not care about the spider webs on her head, looked at Song Xiaoshuang with some joy on her face, and spoke Chinese quickly: "Song Xiaoshuang, where did you run?" Looking for you to find it, didn't you say that you want to seriously understand the ancient culture in the desert, we have a preliminary understanding of some of the meanings of the red petroglyphs on the stone wall of the terrace, the preliminary estimate of these petroglyphs may have thousands or even tens of thousands of years of history, guess what we found, the petroglyphs not only have crocodiles, elephants, antelopes, ostriches, camels, these contents, that kind of weird fish-eating earthworms, in an inconspicuous corner of the petroglyphs are outlined with lines, paleontologists and Emina are studying there, If you want to decipher the relationship between this strange strange insect and the ancients, are you interested in learning about it? ”

I've seen strange insects on the petroglyphs a long time ago, but you can only see it now, these scientists who are engaged in research are a little rigid, isn't it that there are records of strange insects on the petroglyphs around the corner.

Song Xiaoshuang secretly scolded himself, he couldn't say these words in front of the little excited Isabel, but after a slight pause, he said with some doubts: "It seems that those strange insects have withdrawn to the depths of the underground cave, and we can go back to the tent camp?" ”

"Of course, your analysis is quite reliable, an hour ago all the strange insects in the ruins cave hall were withdrawn, these strange insects have a lot of wisdom, before leaving, they ate the corpses of the same kind, and now there is a smell of dead fish left in the hall, the female geologist from Spain, speculated that the entire ruins cave has at least several layers of geological structure, ready to enter the cave on the right side facing downward, but was stopped by me with the authority of the team leader, we have to leave the ruins cave before dark and return to the canyon tent camp, Reunification of ideas cannot be allowed to be such reckless"

Hearing that Song Xiaoshuang actually guessed that the army of strange insects that made people with goosebumps withdrew, Isabel was slightly stunned, and said a lot of words quickly, and before she finished speaking, she saw that Song Xiaoshuang had already walked forward, Isabel sighed secretly, knowing that Song Xiaoshuang was not interested in listening to the affairs of the inspection team members and the arrangements for various inspection activities, she took off the white gloves on her hands and put them in her trouser pockets, and walked a few steps quickly to keep up with Song Xiaoshuang's footsteps and walked out.

Song Xiaoshuang and Isabel just walked to the petroglyph terrace covering an area of several hundred square meters outside, and they saw the Yankee Gordon wearing a wide offal suit, who was pestering Emina, who was standing in front of the rock wall petroglyphs and wearing white gloves in her hand, Song Xiaoshuang didn't see the beautiful Daisy and the fierce white bodyguard who had been following, the paleontologist who opposed eating fish in the camp squatted on the ground, with white gloves on one hand, and was putting a palm-sized instrument in the backpack on the ground, and the paleontologist's expression was a little embarrassed, Because Gordon was shouting in English: "I said, Amina, how can you take pictures with your camera, why can't I borrow it, it's a digital camera anyway!" ”

"No, no, Gordon, how many times have I said it, the special digital camera in the investigation team is specially made, it is a precision instrument that can resist electromagnetic interference and is not affected by the geomagnetic field, but this is used to make a record of the ancient people's culture, and you can't give you a gimmick tool to do this tour, and upload it to Facebook for things like talking to me and the ancients, otherwise the old virgin director in the office will know that the consequences will be very serious!"

Emina frowned her forehead and looked at Gordon as if she were looking at a wooden stake, and spoke in English in a stern tone, reminding Gordon that he was just a person who was "gilded" with the group, not a scientist engaged in research in the official expedition team, and there was no way to use the special equipment!

"Isn't it okay if I don't upload it? I know you took pictures of strange insects, but I just kept a record for myself, and I only have a sense of accomplishment when I recall it later, if I had known that there was so much attention to this, I would have to get a sophisticated professional digital camera to come in."

Gordon wanted to say something, only then did he notice that the team leader Isabel and Song Xiaoshuang were standing not far away, Gordon understood that the cheeky appearance was looked at by the two of them just now, and he shrugged his shoulders and turned around and left, and before he had walked far, he heard Isabel talking in English, Gordon immediately turned around and came back with a happy look on his face, because Isabel clearly spoke and instructed Emina, to give up the digital camera dedicated to the expedition team, how Gordon didn't like it.

Seeing that Isabel had spoken, Emina glared at Gordon fiercely, walked to the paleontologist's side, quickly squatted down and found a small camera from the backpack that looked no different from an ordinary digital camera, handed it to Gordon who came over, and said English with a serious expression: "This is a spare device, there is no information stored in it, but if it is damaged, it is not enough to use two SLRs, there is no place to buy it, it is specially made by scientists under the exclusive office, but the shell is like an ordinary camera, After using the camera, return it to me, and keep the memory card by yourself, do you understand? ”

Gordon couldn't understand that he had made a boy scout salute and went to Daisy and the bodyguards with his camera.

Seeing Gordon flash so fast and instantly disappeared, Isabel looked at Song Xiaoshuang, who was a little confused, and simply explained in Chinese, Song Xiaoshuang only then understood that Isabel was looking at the camera given by Gordon's bodyguard, after all, the bodyguard made a lot of efforts in this encounter with strange insects, and Isabel was not an unkind leader.

Song Xiaoshuang was noncommittal about Isabel's approach, and then left all these behind, not caring how the living treasure Gordon tossed, and stayed next to the petroglyphs on the stone wall of the platform all afternoon, after Uncle Issam came out of the cave, he went back to the tent camp, brought back some equipment and equipment, and then turned back, guarding several male and female scientists to study the ancient culture of the relics cave in case of accidents.

In addition to eating some dry food in the backpack and drinking water to quench his thirst, Song Xiaoshuang also put on gloves and has been following Isabelle, Emina and others to participate in the study of those rock paintings, Isabel and Emina, both of whom can speak Chinese, can communicate in time in the face of Song Xiaoshuang's personal opinions from time to time.

In the face of those ancient petroglyphs on the stone wall, the seemingly ordinary Song Xiaoshuang can not only put forward some unique insights, but also some depth of reasoning, not only Isabel and Emina pay more and more attention to him, even paleontologists who can only speak a few words of Chinese are impressed by Song Xiaoshuang, and at first they were a little dissatisfied with Isabel, feeling that she could not casually pull non-professionals into the research scope of the investigation team, and in an afternoon of contact and communication, paleontologists completely changed their attitude, jokingly gave Song Xiaoshuang the title of a trainee researcher.

In fact, paleontologists don't know at all, Song Xiaoshuang is a real data and information analyst, and he is very knowledgeable and experienced, and he is considered the lowest researcher, but he can't talk about those experiences.
