I don't know when the sky darkened, there were no clouds tomorrow, but the sunlight was inexplicably blurred, and the helicopter's dashboard made a tearing noise from time to time, and the helicopter pilot turned around and shouted a few words at them, because of the thick Latin accent, it took a while for Shang Chongyun to hear what he said.

"The plane can't go any further, there are strong magnetic fluctuations in the vicinity, which will disturb the plane's instruments, and if we fly again, it may crash, and then we have to walk through." Dr. Nawood said, motioning for the pilot to land on the ground, and the plane finally landed on a mountain, and the four of them got off the plane, looking at the vast jungle in front of them, Shang Chongyun could clearly feel that a huge pressure was coming to his face.

"Will I wait for you here, if you are in danger and need rescue, send me a signal with a flare gun, if the magnetic field interference is not too strong, I will go back to rescue you." The driver said, throwing down the men's equipment.

"Alright, let's go." The old man said indifferently, then put on his equipment, and walked towards the jungle in front of him first, looking at no nervousness at all, Shang Chongyun was also infected by this attitude, maybe this adventure would not be too difficult, but soon he realized that this jungle was even more dangerous than it looked.

Not far into the jungle, the hill where the helicopter was parked was already out of sight, the dense jungle blocked the view, and several people could only follow the compass and map to move towards the approximate direction, but fortunately, although the jungle was dense, the terrain was quite flat, and there was no river, so it was not impossible to move forward.

Advancing through the jungle is a huge pressure for both mental and physical strength, and the four of them must constantly wield jungle knives to cut a path through the dense jungle, not only all kinds of strange plants need to be cleaned up, but also occasionally snakes and insects hidden in them, so that people must be on guard at all times.

The four of them took turns to walk in front of the road, trying to maintain their physical strength, because they were all veterans with rich experience in exploration, the progress was quite smooth, to Shang Chongyun's surprise, although Dr. Wood looked old, his energy was very strong, and he did not show a tired look at all, as if his physical strength was better than that of a young man like him.

However, after walking for about an hour, Cuong, who was walking at the back of the line, suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong?" The three people in front hurriedly looked back.

"My leg was bitten by something."

Turning over Cuong's trouser leg, a purple-black wound appeared on his ankle.

"Damn, it could be some kind of poisonous snake! Wait a minute, I'm going to inject you with snake venom. ”

Dr. Nawood said as he took out the syringe from his bag, but before he could start the injection, Cuong's face quickly turned so black that he couldn't even catch his breath.

"Damn, he's going to die!"

"Cheer up a little Ah Qiang!" Shang Chongyun shouted at Ah Qiang, and when Dr. Wood finally injected Ah Qiang with the serum, Ah Qiang was no longer breathing.

The death of a team member so easily made Shang Chongyun's heart extremely shocked, he had not seen casualties in expeditions before, but it was the first time that he died silently and inexplicably like this.

"What should we do?"

"There is no other way but to move on." Dr. Wood said. He glanced at Shang Chongyun and Luisa, "We are here this time to explore the secret of the origin of mankind, Cuong will not die in vain, we have to complete the expedition, for ourselves, and for Cuong!" ”

Dr. Wood's encouragement restores the trio's morale a bit, leaving some marks on Cuong's body before the trio set off again.

Walked for more than an hour.

"Here, look, the mountain ahead is where the Crypt of Acantera is located, and that mysterious ancient ruins should be inside."

Shang Chongyun looked at the mountain covered with green vegetation in front of him, but he was a little incredulous, "Doctor, are you sure you're not mistaken?" It looked like just a normal mountain. ”

"There's no mistake about it, I've spent decades researching this literature and taking notes, absolutely."

The four of them climbed the mountain with difficulty, and the closer they got to the top of the mountain, the more Shang Chongyun realized that what the doctor said was right, this was indeed an ancient ruin, and they saw huge stone bricks exposed from the soil, some carvings with a strange style, hidden under the vegetation, although it had been blurred with the passage of time, but this was definitely the remains of some ancient civilization, and it was completely different from the local Mayan and Aztec civilizations in South America, when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, There was even a tunnel leading into the interior of the mountain, apparently dug by hand, and the passage had collapsed in some places, but it was generally intact and passable.

The three of them cautiously moved along the tunnel, inside the ruins of this ancient civilization, there were traces left by various ancient civilizations, reliefs on the walls, the remains of some buildings, looking at these things, the three of them were excited, excited, looking at the surrounding ruins that may have been left thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago, Shang Chongyun felt a huge shock.

He took out his camera and kept recording the new discoveries in front of him.

"Can you imagine? We were the first horses to visit here in thousands of years, and no one could have imagined what we saw, and for the first time in thousands of years, a human had set foot here. Dr. Wood kept babbling, as if he were talking gibberish with excitement, as if he were cheering up a few people.

Shang Chongyun nodded, he could feel the doctor's excitement, and suddenly, when he raised the camera again and pressed the shutter, the flash of light illuminated something in the dim ahead, and after a few steps forward, he saw a stone platform, something like an altar, and on that altar there was something like a bottle, "Look, what is that!" ”

Shang Chongyun shone it with a flashlight, and the bottle had obvious reflections.

"Oh my God, it must be an ancient artifact left behind by an ancient civilization." The Doctor said excitedly, he carefully took the bottle off the altar, took out his flashlight, shone it on it, and for a moment, his excitement froze on his face, and then quickly turned into an incredulous and strange expression.

Shang Chongyun also saw the appearance of the bottle, which turned out to be a green beer bottle with the word 'Qingdao' on it.

The atmosphere became very awkward for a while.
