Chapter 224: Red Dragon Disturbance (I)
In the cold wind in the cold darkness, Chen Badai was almost frozen into a popsicle. Although he was prepared, Chen Badai put on a thick jacket and thickened gloves, but although the "panoramic 360° sunroof" of this small all-terrain vehicle had a good field of vision, it couldn't block the wind at all! Chen Badai now really feels what "heating basically depends on shaking", and he begins to miss the warm carriage.
Chen Badai felt that when he went down the glacier, his knees were a little cold, and at this time it was even colder, even though he was tightly wrapped, but the cold wind came from the surface, penetrating the sheath covering his mouth and nose, and he felt that his snot was flowing out. After a while, the sheath was soaked and blown by the cold wind, forming a hard ice cube.
"Mr. Min, how far is it?" Chen Badai wanted to stop and tidy up the sheath of his mouth and nose, but at this time, Dick didn't seem to have the intention of slowing down at all, he took Xia Ruobing to increase the throttle first, and ran wildly in the dark night.
"It should be soon! Keep up! Don't be left behind! How did Mr. Min know about Chen Badai's hard work, and patted Chen Badai's shoulder to encourage him.
"It's so easy to say that perseverance! I'm freezing my mouth now! Chen Badai muttered in his heart. It was impossible to stop and rest, Chen Badai had to hold the accelerator with his right hand and tidy it up with his left hand, but the car didn't seem to listen to the control and became crooked, so Chen Badai had no choice but to give up.
"My dear, you will witness a moment in history! It's not for everyone. Dick took the lead, not caring at all about whether Chen Badai could keep up with the behind, his whole body is a top outdoor brand, designed for harsh environments, in the cold wind of minus 40 °, he didn't feel cold at all, if possible, he also wanted to run faster.
"What the hell is going to be like that?" Xia Ruobing asked.
"Gates of Hell! It's not an exaggeration at all. Dick cried out loudly, his voice torn apart in the cold wind.
"What is the gate?" Xia Ruobing didn't hear clearly.
"The gates of hell," Dick raised his voice again, "and in the record, the gates of hell are opened, and the red dragon sleeps on the ground!" Revealing his black crown, the dark undead who had been dormant for countless years, peering out at the burning doorway, waiting for the will of God, the red dragon broke the confinement and stared at the weak world with its head held high, it opened its left wing, the sun dimmed, it opened its right wing, it obscured the moon...... Darkness will cover the earth, and the fire of hell is the only light in the world...... The burning legion swept through everything until it burned out...... Only the heroes appointed by God Almighty will put an end to all this......"
"Is this a poem?" Xia Ruobing asked, in ancient records, I like to use poetry to record something, and there are many comparisons and exaggerations.
"No, I believe it's not just a poem, it really happened," said Dick exclaimed, "Anyway, it was the people of Loulan who found the Red Dragon to find the diamond mine!" ”
"Okay. But that doesn't prove anything. Xia Ruobing said.
"But now at least it has appeared, perhaps the ancestors have spirits in heaven to guide us!" Dick was a little excited.
"Dick, why did Tchaikov stop you from looking for the royal tomb?" Xia Ruobing asked.
"He? Just a shameless traitor, his ancestors stole old Citchell's guardianship, and the diamond mine and the royal tomb! But I put a curse on my family! I haven't settled accounts with him yet! Dick heard Xia Ruobing mention Tchaikov and scolded viciously.
"But I don't think he's a bad guy!"
"Honey, you don't know much about the world......" As Dick approached his destination, Dick relaxed and said a few more words.
Although everyone is a descendant of the Loulan royal family, but after the discovery of the diamond mine, the greedy human nature made the Loulan people divided internally, and even there was a war, for the survival of the Loulan people, the royal family formulated a contract, in the high royal family to select a trustworthy elder, that is, the guardian, only he knows the location of the diamond mine and the building of the royal tomb, the excavated gems are distributed by the royal family, every adult Loulan man has to participate in the excavation of gems and the construction of the royal tomb, but they must wear that special maskOnly before his death will the Guardian be sent to the Tomb by his successor, and after watching him die in the Tomb, he will return alone and become the new Guardian of the Tomb, while also taking on the responsibility of protecting the diamond mines.
Dick's ancestors were the guardians, and Tchaikov's ancestors, according to the genealogy of the royal family, they were just servants of the royal family, and they could not have the opportunity to become the guardians of the royal tomb, but the creation made people, and the Loulan people were cursed after two hundred years of prosperity, and a large number of Loulan people died of unknown mania, and they had no choice but to close the diamond mine and the royal tomb. As time passed, by the time of the elder Zacher's generation, there were few descendants of the royal family left, and most of them had moved away and disappeared into the sea of people. But as the guardian of the royal tomb, old Tchaicher could not leave, and old Tchaikov was his bodyguard.
"He's not a royal family at all, he's just a lowly slave under us!" Dick said this, gritting his teeth, "But my ancestors didn't expect him to be a vicious thief!" ”
I don't know what method old Tchaikov used to bewitch old Tchaicher, the two of them actually restarted the mining of diamond mines, but then everything changed, in order to keep the secret of the diamond mines and the royal tomb, old Tchaikov chose to die with the robbers who swarmed, but old Tchaikov slipped away, and then declared himself a descendant of the royal family and the heir to this land......
"The Tchaikovs also prospered because of diamonds?" Xia Ruobing asked.
"My dear, you're to the point," said Dick hatefully, "have you seen Tchaikov's style?" If it weren't for diamonds, their family would still be a reptile under my feet! Where would there be the current oil empire! ”
But why didn't he continue mining diamonds? That would be more profitable than oil! Xia Ruobing asked again.
"I don't know. Maybe their family is a bunch of unreasonable liars themselves, or maybe they are afraid that a curse will fall on their heads! Dick never seemed to think about it.
If Tchaikov was not of Loulan royal blood, then it seems plausible that they were not cursed, but what happened to make the Loulan people who once thrived here disappear again, until only Dick remains?
Xia Ruobing wanted to continue asking, but under the light of Dick's headlights, the snow began to decrease, and Dick exclaimed excitedly: "We're almost there!" ”
Xia Ruobing only noticed at this time that there were a lot of rocks exposed in the snow around her, and the snow layer was much thinner, and some of the stones were still dripping with water.
"The geothermal heat here melts the snow." Wang Xingguo, who was detained, also noticed this situation, he operated the drone to accelerate, rise, fly to the front of the convoy, and then adjust the remote control to convert to infrared mode, the temperature spots appeared on the remote control screen, and the earth was basically pale yellow or yellow, and in some places even orange-red.
The darker the color, the higher the temperature, no wonder the snow here is melting, and after driving 10 kilometers further, there is no snow on the ground at all, Wang Xingguo asked the Sherpa to stop the car and touched the ground with his hand, it was warm.
"We're close!" Wang Xingguo said.
As soon as Wang Xingguo's voice fell, there was a sudden rumbling sound from the underground, as if someone was beating a drum underground, and the sound spread along the ground, and then disappeared into the distance.
"Mr. Min! Did you hear that? The voice of the red dragon! Dick also heard the voices underground, and he excitedly picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted.
"I heard it, it looks like we're still catching up!" Mr. Min's excitement was palpable.
"Mr. Min, are you sure it's safe to do this?" Chen Badai, who was driving, was beating a drum in his heart, and he felt that he was now walking on a cauldron lid, and below it was roaring magma.
"It's here!" Mr. Min's words sounded like an answer to Chen Badai's question.
Chen Badai didn't know how to answer, he saw the Sherpa light in the rearview mirror was far away, he didn't know that the Sherpa had stopped, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Keep up, Dick is almost gone!" ”
The wind here seemed to be much milder, Chen Badai felt that his body was warmer, and after driving some distance, Chen Badai smelled a smell of sulfur. The smell of sulfur is getting stronger and stronger, sulfur is the product of volcanic activity brought up from the ground, such a strong smell of sulfur means that he is very close to the volcanic activity area, but in the dark night, Chen Badai did not see the dark red characteristic of volcanic lava, nor did he see the column of smoke that should be in his impression.
But Chen Badai forgot that it was dark night in the Northern Hemisphere, and the visibility was extremely low, and in fact, Chen Badai was driving in the volcanic activity area, and the nearest volcanic crack to him was only more than 100 meters......
Chen Badai feels as if he has traveled through two seasons, from the extremely cold winter to the hot summer, and now the surface temperature is 40°!
"Dick, shall we stop?" Chen Badai finally couldn't help it and picked up the walkie-talkie to call Dick.
"No, let's move on!" Dick vetoed Chen's suggestion.
"Boom ......" There was a muffled sound from the ground again, and Chen Badai felt that the ground was also shaking with the sound.
"Crazy, running to the earthquake brought ......" Chen Badai was shocked and muttered.
Chen Badai muttered in his heart, but Dick didn't mean to stop, Wang Xingguo and Sherpa didn't keep up, Chen Badai in the middle was a little embarrassed, speeding up for fear that Wang Xingguo wouldn't be able to keep up, and slowing down for fear of not being able to keep up with Dick.
"Mr. Min! Mr. Min, let Dick slow down! Chen Badai had no choice but to exclaim, he watched Dick's headlights get farther and farther away, but Sherpa and Wang Xingguo hadn't caught up.
But as soon as Chen Badai's voice fell, the ground trembled, Chen Badai's car broke away from the established line and tilted to the side, Chen Badai tried to control the terrain vehicle, drew an S shape on the ground, and finally maintained a straight line of driving, here just breathed a sigh of relief, and just about to scold a sentence in his mouth to vent, he heard a thunder not far away, Chen Badai instinctively shrank his head, tilted his head and looked, less than 100 meters away from himself in the darkness, an orange pillar rose.
