There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary, not to mention tens of thousands of towering trees.

The Ascending Dragon Frame, which was left behind from the Great Destruction, was fortunate to preserve most of the primeval forest, and over time the vegetation became more and more extensive, engulfing everything around it.

Boundless plants grow unscrupulously here, and all kinds of towering ancient trees cover the sky and the sun, filling the whole world of Shenglongjia.

For nearly 600 years, there has been no one here, and it has become almost a separate space.

Hundreds of meters tall trees shade the sky so tightly that sunlight can hardly penetrate it.

Occasionally, small gaps torn open by wildfires and hurricanes can leak a little spot of light, forming a grimace of teeth and claws on the forest floor and tree trunks.

As the mountain breeze blows, these grimaces dance wildly, as if ready to pounce on them at any moment.

The bottom of the forest is full of vines and shrubs, birds and animals run rampant, hunting and fleeing all the time.

"Professor, are we going the wrong way? It's been more than a week since we all came in, and we haven't even seen a shadow of the ancient tomb?"

Suddenly, an impatient male duck's voice came from the dense forest, startling a crowd of birds and beasts to flee wildly.

"When is this kind of day a head, I knew that this ghost place was so terrifying, I had to ask Brother Chao to stop my sister-in-law from coming over. This is where you should be, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you say yes!"

In the dense forest, a group of people are trudging with difficulty. At the head were three fierce warriors, two of whom were wielding sabers to clear the way, and another with a pistol in his hand, his eyes constantly vigilantly looking around, ready to deal with the unexpected.

Behind the hall were also three strong warriors, who were guarding the rear in the shape of a finished saber, and one of them, a giant warrior, was covered with various things, like a traveling shelf.

The faces and hands of the soldiers were covered with scars, and although the camouflage uniforms were not badly damaged due to the sturdiness of the nanomaterials, they were also covered with pull marks of hard objects and smudges of various unknown liquids, and the original color could no longer be seen.

There was still a slight trace of blood leaking from the clothes, and it was obvious that these warriors also had external injuries on their bodies.

Protected by the warriors in the middle was an old man who looked to be in his sixties and two young people, a man and a woman, the man was simple and the woman was pretty.

There was also a fat-headed, big-eared young man who was also a few steps behind, and he kept fanning the wind with his hat, but his fat face was covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans and flowed down his oily face like raindrops, attracting groups of unknown insects to circle around him, and his vibrating wings made a loud buzzing sound.

If it weren't for the strong smell of insect repellent on his body, it would have been a good meal, and it was he who made the complaining sound just now.

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, and before he could speak, the pretty girl next to him had already scolded him with a cold face.

"Sun Hao, who do you call sister-in-law? Who else told you to follow us? You can go back at any time, you are not welcome here, you are begging to follow us in vain, and you deserve to suffer no matter how much you suffer. ”

The fat man smiled wryly and couldn't speak, and it would be a death for him to go back now.

In the past ten days, if it weren't for the protection of those masters in the army, I don't know how many times I have died.

And he also has an important mission, although his life is important, but if he doesn't complete the task and go back, the result is worse than death.

Brother Chao is not a good person, and his little life is not worth mentioning to him like an ant.

"Xiao Li, let's stop here today, you let the big guys take a break," the old man motioned to the gun-wielding soldier in front of him to stop.

Then he turned to the fat man and explained, "It should be almost there, and the ancient tomb should be in the same place where we are standing now." ”

The old man is an archaeologist of Huaxia United University, and he is also an outstanding historian, with a lot of knowledge, both ancient and modern, and has studied the history before the Great Destruction and even prehistory

Professor Fang is over 80 years old this year, but he looks only in his 60s because he usually pays more attention to health preservation.

After the Great Destruction, the first university established by the surviving humans in the Eastern Continent was Huaxia United University, which gathered almost all the surviving professionals in the Eastern Continent at that time.

In the later period, most of the leaders in all walks of life came out of Huaxia United University, and even many later universities were formed by professors of the United University.

Out of the exploration of ancient martial arts and prehistoric civilizations, archaeology has also become a more important discipline at present.

This trip was precisely because Professor Fang found that the approximate location of the ancient tomb of Shennong was in the area of the Panlong Cave of the Shenglong Frame before the great destruction when he was sorting out the ancient books recovered by archaeology, so he took two students to explore.

However, after the Great Collapse, the entire landform of the Blue Star has changed, and due to the impact of the plate, the altitude of the Shenglongjia area has increased a lot.

There are cliffs everywhere, strange peaks are lined up, and the vegetation in the forest is dozens of times more lush, and the directions recorded in ancient books have long been difficult to find.

Through satellite detection and dynamic simulation of landform evolution, Professor Fang roughly judged the current location of Panlong Cave, and then sent Falcon fighters to the Shenglong Frame through the university.

Because the ancient trees were too tall and dense, they could only parachute onto a protruding cliff at the top of the mountain, and then slowly march towards the Panlong Cave.

As soon as the Falcon flew away, they sadly found that all the electronic equipment they had brought with them was no longer usable.

The plane would not return until a month later, and they could not contact the plane when the communication equipment was not available, so they had to bite the bullet and move forward.

If it weren't for the extraordinary skills of the six soldiers in the army who accompanied them and their ability to survive in the wild, it would have been a question whether they could walk down the cliff, let alone find any ancient tombs.

The electronics are inoperable, which means that all laser weapons and locating, communication, and exploration equipment are disabled.

The only things that can be used are the sabers of the soldiers and the lucky spear of the captain Li Dong - an antique **** before the big destruction, and there are only about 20 bullets.

Fortunately, wound medicine, anthelmintic drugs and veterinary repellent drugs can still be used, and after the collapse, because of the harsh environment, human research and development of biopharmaceuticals has been prompted, and the effects of these drugs are very good, otherwise they will not be able to stay for a moment in the face of the siege of various insects.

After consulting Professor Fang, Li Dong (the leader of the tactical team and the accompanying security adviser) decisively ordered everyone to abandon all the equipment that could not be used, dismantle the equipment that could be used, and travel lightly.

Seeing the fat Sun Sun Hao regretfully put down the VR headset in his hand, even the most honest Xu Yan (Professor Ouyang's male student) in the team smiled heartily with the soldiers.

Sun Hao was an accident for this team, and the school was forced into the team before leaving.

He is a well-known gentleman in Huaxia United University, and he is also a loyal dog leg of the president's son Wang Zhichao, who only brought a set of game equipment with him when he came out to explore, and he didn't know how his brain grew.

Since he got on the plane, this fat man has never been at ease, either because Xiao Wu (one of the soldiers in the special forces, Wu Ping) has a strange smell on his body, or because the Falcon fighter is too loud to affect his game, and he sticks to Ouyang Yafu (Professor Fang's beautiful student) all day long, which makes Ouyang Yafu annoyed and wants to kick him off the plane.

No matter how good Professor Fang's temper is, he also respects this fat man, and tries to treat him as if he didn't see it without speaking, and he really can't see it before he teaches a lesson.

Fortunately, considering the identity of the professor, Sun Hao was still in awe of Professor Fang, otherwise he didn't know what kind of moth he would make along the way.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to clear out a safe place for everyone to rest, the vigilance of the six people, the tent of the tent, the fire of the fire, the division of labor is very clear, everyone has already had a tacit understanding all the way, so the action is very fast.

Fortunately, there is no need to hunt, there are too many animals that attack them along the way, and the bags are already stuffed with the meat of various animals, and they are all carefully selected.

"Teacher, take a sip of water. Ouyang Yafu handed a kettle to Professor Fang.

The forest is lush and green, but the real water source is not easy to find. Fortunately, the warriors found that many of the vines wrapped around the trees were water vines, so everyone was not short of water to drink.

It's just that the taste is a little weird, with a hint of bitterness, but in order to quench the thirst, no one cares about this.

Professor Fang casually took the kettle, took a sip and put it down, but his eyes were still roaming around, and he muttered, "Why can't we see any signs of the mausoleum?" We should be near the Panlong Cave now, but there is still no trace to be found, could it be that the collision of the plates has destroyed the Panlong Cave?"

But the ancient mausoleum is so big, even if it is destroyed, there will always be traces left! I can't understand it, I really can't understand it......

"Teacher, could it be that the trees have grown too fast over the years, and the Dragon Cave has been obscured by them?" asked Ouyang Yafu on the side.

She is not an ordinary beautiful girl, the Ouyang family is a well-known ancient family in the Federation, and none of the families that can survive from the Great Destruction are simple, and the background of the family has given her a different vision since she was a child.

Professor Fang's eyes lit up, he looked at Ouyang Yafu and said with a smile: "I don't know the true face of Lushan, just because I am in this mountain, Ouyang, you are still smart!"

"Monkey, go up to the tree to investigate," Li Dong next to him heard this, threw the gun forward and said, "Be careful, bring a hat and a gun." ”

As soon as the words fell, a lean soldier took the gun and quickly put on his helmet with one hand, and his body scurried up four or five meters.

After grabbing a branch, he slammed his waist again, "rubbed" a few times, and went up the trunk, and disappeared in the thick branches and leaves above his head in a blink of an eye.

"This Hou Song really lives up to his nickname of a monkey, climbing trees is more slippery than usual walking," Wu Ping said with a smile.

Nicknamed Bottle, he was the team's main demoman, and making a fire was pediatric for him, and not long after it stopped, a fire was already lit.

In the forest, fire is the most important thing, "I hope this hat is more powerful, there are so many strange things in this place." ”

"It's okay, monkeys practice monkey boxing, and climbing trees is trivial for him," said Xie Ziang, nicknamed Tank, who had just finished setting up his tent.

"That's what our so-called high-tech hat is for, it's the latest tactical helmet, holograms, infrared night vision or something, and it's bulletproof here.

The monkey should be able to defend against the attack above its head, and besides, it doesn't bring the boss's spear, hahaha~"

As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing out loud, he didn't expect the captain's antique gun to come in handy in this primeval forest.

The tank is the strongest of the six fighters, and his height of two meters and six is a giant no matter who he is with.

He was originally the firepower leader of this tactical squad, and he was usually a mobile arsenal with all kinds of heavy weapons and ammunition boxes on his body.

As a result, it has now become a mobile warehouse for this group of people, and all heavy objects and sundries are hung on him. And he didn't care, there were no fetters in his actions, compared to the weight of the heavy weapons he was equipped with, this thing was now a pediatric, and it was really not worth mentioning.

The other two warriors were not smiling, one of them was patrolling around with one eye, and the other was cutting branches and sharpening the antlers of a deer, which could be dangerous at any time in the forest, especially at night, if the alarm was not set up.

The person in charge of the guard is called Liu Peng, nicknamed Big Bird, he is the accurate shooter in the squad and a special pilot.

The one who is arranging the guard is called Zhao Qian, nicknamed Spider, and he is the youngest one in the team, only 17 years old this year, and he is not yet an adult.

But he is a young genius, a master of hacking, and he usually maintains everyone in the team through the equipment like a spider's web, and he can monitor everyone's location

He can give the captain Li Dong the best information support, and he can also infiltrate the enemy everywhere.

However, after entering the Shenglong frame, all his equipment failed, but fortunately, after entering the special forces, because he was more interested in mechanics, he had a special study, so he completed the delicate work such as arranging warning traps.

They didn't rest for long, and suddenly a sound of "rustling" came from a tree not far behind everyone, and several soldiers quickly formed a defensive formation to protect them.

"Don't do it, it's me who ......"

Before he finished speaking, the knife in Li Dong's hand had turned into a silver light, and it slashed towards a giant tree behind him with an afterimage, leaving a deep mark on the tree's body.

He had already moved when he sensed the movement in the tree behind him just now, and when he heard Hou Song's voice, he shifted slightly and retracted some of his strength.

"How did you get down from this tree, wasn't it on that tree?"

Seeing Hou Ping sliding down from the tree, Li Dong pointed to the tree that Hou Song had gone up to just now and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"It's okay, it's okay, fortunately, I know that the boss is fast, so I squeaked in advance, otherwise I would have died too unjustly. ”

Hou Song made a look of being scared, looked at the deep knife marks on the tree behind him and stuck out his tongue.

"The tree was the tallest around, and I could see farther when I got to the top of it.

There is a large building not far ahead, in the shape of a bagua, and a circle of city walls, which looks like an ancient castle.

But it wasn't on the hill we have now, there was a waterfall about 30 kilometers away at ten o'clock in front of us, and the castle was on a hill opposite the waterfall.

I also saw smoke coming out of the castle and it should be inhabited.

There is a very large ancient camphor tree outside the building, which is very recognizable. ”

"30 kilometers? What are you kidding, I don't think he saw anything at all, he just made up a random reason.

How can anyone see so far, and a very large camphor tree, the lie is too substandard!" The fat man was very unimpressed by the monkey's description, and pouted in retort.

"If you can see a camphor tree 30 kilometers away, from now on, my Sun Hao will call you grandpa. Also the castle, cut ~"

Everyone should have done whatever they had done if they hadn't heard the fat man speak.

Hou Song is a sniper in the squad, his eyesight is naturally powerful, several times that of a normal person, and 30 kilometers is far from the limit for him.

On the plane, the soldiers had already introduced their specialties to Professor Fang, but at that time, the fat man was busy playing games in VR and didn't hear it at all.

"I see that your grandfather is ......"

"Xiao Hou's eyes are definitely not wrong, but how can there be such a large area of buildings that look like castles?

No one has been here for hundreds of years, and even if they are lucky enough to survive the catastrophe, how did they survive such a harsh living environment?

What's more, the Thang Long Frame area was developed quite deeply before the Great Collapse, and if there was a castle, it must have been recorded in historical sources.

But I don't have the impression that there is any relevant record at all, and everyone in the wilderness should pay more attention,"

Professor Fang's remarks diverted Ouyang Yafu's sarcasm about the fat man, but he affirmed the monkey's reconnaissance.

The fat man himself is not worried, but the Wang family behind him is a behemoth.

Although Professor Fang couldn't say that he was afraid of them, there was no need to offend them.

This is also one of the reasons why Professor Fang can tolerate the entry of the Wang family's Sai people. As long as it doesn't interfere with his research work, the professor doesn't care much about credit or anything.

"Either way, it's better to have a castle than nothing for us. A building like a castle will not be built in a short period of time, these people should have lived here for generations, and they will always know some information that we don't know, you say yes, senior brother?" Ouyang Yafu was interrupted by the professor and did not continue, but turned around and asked Xu Yan.

Xu Yan smiled and nodded yes, he was concentrating on helping everyone barbecue.

He is slightly older than Ouyang Yafu, and he is more stable. Therefore, although the two of them were doctoral students who were admitted to Professor Fang at the same time, Ouyang Yafu always called him senior brother, and he was also very protective of this little junior sister.

Professor Fang and Li Dong exchanged glances, and then pressed the topic and prepared to rest.

Only the fat man rolled his eyes depressedly, because it was Ouyang Yafu who was sarcastically mocking him, no matter how unhappy he was, he could only hold back his words in his stomach, he couldn't afford to offend this woman.

Two days later, the crowd finally arrived at the waterfall. Under the pouring of clear waves with a width of nearly 100 meters, it is like a Milky Way hanging on the mountain wall, hitting the foot of the mountain to stir up thousands of waves, the momentum is magnificent, and the rumbling sound can be heard several kilometers away.

There is a castle on the other side of the falls, but it should be technically on a hill across the waterfalls.

The castle was built in the shape of a standard gossip, and on the side near the waterfall there was a large camphor tree, which was a thousand-year-old camphor tree, and its fluffy branches almost obscured half of the castle.

"Look, there's still people on that tree," Ouyang Yafu suddenly pointed to the thousand-year-old camphor tree.

Everyone looked at it, and sure enough, there was a young man jumping and playing on the ancient camphor tree, and his movements were very sensitive, and he was walking on the ground on the canopy.

"It's a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, quite handsome, playing with a little golden monkey," Hou Song said with a smile, "jumping up and down like a monkey."

"Hahahaha......"

Everyone looked at Hou Song and laughed.

Hou Song touched the back of his head and laughed unconsciously, isn't he also a monkey in the eyes of everyone, he unconsciously felt a little intimate with the young man in the tree.
