Chapter 136 Ranch
Chen Huiyao looked at Huang Heng in despair, he hadn't slept well in two years.
After Chen Huiyao packed up his things and went downstairs to the garage next to him to start the car, he looked at the address pointed by Huang Heng and his eyebrows jumped, and he said in surprise:
"Why do you go to that kind of ghost place, it is rumored that there are monsters there, so the entire ranch has been banned by the state."
"Come on, the demon dragon in your hand is also a monster, and it's not honest yet. I'll get some sleep first and wait until the place calls me......"
After Lin Yuan refuted Chen Huiyao's words, he lay down steadily on the wide back seat and closed his eyes, and after a while, he could hear her even breathing.
The reason for Chen Huiyao's reluctance was not only because of the presence of monsters, but also because the road to the ranch over there was extremely difficult to walk, and the car finally made a loud noise when it was about to drive to the end, and then white smoke slowly rose from the crack in the hood amid the smell of burnt eraser.
"My poor Honda mouse......"
Chen Huiyao screamed in pain, opened the door of the cab, and walked out to check the condition of the car.
Huang Heng woke up Lin Yuan, and the three of them got out of the car and looked at the map navigation, and found that it was not very far away, and then flew directly with the soaring eagle.
Huang Heng watched as the phone slowly descended, landing on a mountain, overlooking the pasture below.
Blue Mountain Ranch has always been the family property of the Alwei family, who originally lived in the United Kingdom, and the property in Australia was managed by professional managers.
It was only at the beginning of World War II that they came to escape the war.
Who knew that not long after I came over, this side was involved in a war with another *** country, Zheng
It is impossible to move, because of the war, their property has shrunk by half, so naturally they have no choice but to live in the Blue Mountain Ranch Zheng
After the war, the rest of the Elwei family moved back to England, leaving only George Elwei with him.
After George Sr. died, his nephew inherited the Blue Mountains Ranch.
And that person is Luo Xinlong's original employer, the polite old gentleman in Luo Xinlong's mouth.
Huang Heng looked at the ruins of the dilapidated villa all over the barren grass, and began to wonder if the Andrew's Hill Alliance had completely abandoned this ranch.
Or did they rebuild the base underground?
Huang Heng knew that whether it was Yixin Pavilion or Andrew Mountain, countless Inhumans were obsessively building underground bases, as if the abilities they carried contained the genes of rats.
Huang Heng turned his head to look at Chen Huiyao, and after a few words, Chen Huiyao released the miniature version of the Australian Demon Dragon Ball No. 2.
When Qiuqiu No. 2 came out of his mobile phone, he was about to continue arguing with Chen Huiyao, when he suddenly saw Huang Heng and Lin Yuan with solemn faces.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Qiuqiu-2 finally sent the news that he had found a buried mine two kilometers southeast of where Chen Huiyao was standing.
When Huang Heng and the three of them rushed over, Qiuqiu No. 2 had already completely dredged the passage to the underground. He also thoughtfully made layers of earthen steps for the three pet messengers.
The three of them walked along the stairs for a short time, and finally saw the load-bearing columns built by hand.
The entire load-bearing structure is made of wood, and it is arranged in an extremely unreasonable manner, like a copy of the black coal mines of the SX. After Lin Yuan glanced at it, he sniffled in disgust and let out a cold snort.
She majored in civil engineering at university, so naturally she scoffed at the shoddy buildings of the fifties.
It's just that in the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan looked at the shiny stones scattered on the ground, and his breathing instantly became nervous.
The grains on the ground are not common gemstones or diamonds, but a rare raw ore called "opal" that is unique to Australia.
Lin Yuan picked out a piece with a relatively beautiful shape from his feet, put it in his pocket and was about to leave contentedly, but saw Huang Heng and Chen Huiyao who shook their heads frequently at him.
The so-called women are like dragons, they are all shining things, and the world does not deceive me.
Of course, this was just an episode on the road, and by the time the three of them had reached a certain point in the deep pit, all the natural light finally disappeared completely.
Huang Heng turned to look at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan, who was in the dark, sighed, and with a wave of his fingertips, a pale yellow fluorescence appeared on his fingers, illuminating the entire underground.
When he went out last night, Huang Heng saw Lin Yuan shooting with his mobile phone at the fireflies flying in the air, if it was an ordinary girl, Huang Heng naturally understood that they were intoxicated by the night view of the ranch.
But for Lin Yuanlai, she was not so hypocritical when she was alone, not to mention that the two had just argued about Qingwu Country at that time.
However, after the firefly's light-guiding skill was activated, the fact that it was the fingers that lit up instead of the butt made Huang Heng a little puzzled.
Think about it.
Without Le Yiyi's light-guiding skills, the three of them would have been able to rely on their enhanced eyesight unimpeded underground, but they would have ignored many details in the pits.
Now I can see the whole picture, but the green luster always makes the strange rocks protruding from the crater transform into inexplicable and wonderful monster shapes.
Although Chen Huiyao was a pet messenger, he always clung to the corners of Huang Heng's clothes and did not let go at all during the journey.
Huang Heng sighed in a low voice, turned his head to look at the bold Chen Huiyao, and let him walk in the middle, and he was at the back of the line.
After readjusting the position, Chen Huiyao's expression was slightly restrained, and Huang Heng was also glad that his liberated neck had arrived.
After all, when Chen Huiyao pulled the corner of his clothes just now, the neckline of his clothes was directly blocked in front of his throat.
Lin Yuan quietly waited for the two to get in place before continuing to hurry, and just a few minutes after the three of them left, Huang Heng obviously heard a low sigh.
Huang Heng felt a palm on his shoulder, but when he looked sideways, he didn't find the slightest trace.
And there was a faint dripping sound in front.
Although dripping water in the abandoned pit was not a strange thing, Huang Heng was sure that the entire passage was dry and there was no surface water leakage along the way.
Huang Heng put his hand on his shoulder again, and between his fingers he could feel the roughness of his slightly warm T-shirt fabric.
It was not the first time that Huang Heng had encountered such a situation, but looking at Lin Yuan and Chen Huiyao, who were looking as usual in front of him, he opened his mouth but did not speak, only occasionally turning his head back nervously.
Naturally, there is nothing behind him.
The three of them walked for about ten minutes, and the entire passage turned into a gourd-like shape, apparently caused by someone mining sideways as they continued to descend.
When the road was completely complete, Huang Heng saw the passage blocked by the rubble.
Chen Huiyao had already come to his senses, and naturally summoned Qiuqiu No. 2 who had dredged the passage again, pointed to the pile of rubble and asked:
"Aren't you completely unblocked?"
"I'm just completely unblocking within my own ability, and it's up to your whimsy to do that."
After the Australian magic dragon finished, it turned into a brown streamer again and entered the pet space, leaving only the three pet messengers looking at each other.
Lin Yuan bit his lip slightly, and stepped forward to move the piled stones. It's just that her fingers trembled visibly when they touched the pile of stones, and her whole body couldn't exert her strength.
The current Lin Yuan is like an ordinary twenty-five-year-old girl, and she even has the strength to carry a barrel of liquefied gas
Lin Yuan shook his head at Huang Heng, and then got out of the way for Huang Heng to give it a try.
Huang Heng stepped on the dry gravel on the ground and bent forward, his fingers had just touched those stones, and he instantly felt a trace of inexplicable suction appear.
Huang Heng had stored countless elf powers on his body so far, but it still couldn't withstand the suction power just now, as if he had been restrained.
Just when Chen Huiyao and Huang Heng were at a loss, Lin Yuan suddenly stood up and turned into a cloud of black mist, and when he turned around, he instantly lost his trace.
After coming back, she was pushing a minecart in her hand, which Huang Heng had seen in the pit before.
Although the metal car is rusty, it was built in that era after all, and the quality is not bad. A cruel expression flashed on Lin Yuan's face, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Huang Heng and said in a low voice:
"We move piece by piece, and there will always be a time to move away."
Huang Heng thought speechlessly: I thought that as an architectural student with four years of education, she would have a high opinion in the face of this predicament, but she didn't expect to make such vulgar words.
The reason why Lin Yuan chose to leave the industry and become a teacher in a welfare institute must be that she was tired of moving bricks and life, but she didn't expect that indelible mark was still engraved in her soul.
Lin Yuan was very interested, she picked a stone and threw it in the car pocket, and then looked at the stunned two people inexplicably, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Huang Heng and Chen Huiyao could only pull up their trouser legs and do the work of moving stones, and Chen Huiyao was aggrieved like a Burmese child laborer who had just dropped out of school.
It's just that this kind of work is not as tiring as imagined, and the three of them used their own strength when they first lifted the stone, and after the stone left the blocked stone wall, it suddenly became lighter.
Losing power, accumulating power.
The two situations are constantly circulating, and the gravel in the car is getting higher and higher.
As for disposing of the stones in the car, it was much simpler, Huang Heng called out the white sand, and with a flick of its paws, it poured the gravel into the open space not far away.
After persisting like this for more than a while, Huang Heng looked at his worn trouser legs and shoes and sighed slightly.
The three of them now look like refugees on the run.
After the piled up of rubble was cleared, revealing a stone wall that had been blown open by explosives, Huang Heng glanced at the two people behind him and leaned over the stone wall and walked in.
Like the sensor lamp in the corridor, the walls around him lit up with a sickle-red luster just after Huang Heng entered, and Lin Yuan, who followed him, extinguished the beam of light at his fingertips.
The three of them seemed to have broken into an inexplicable and wonderful different space, and in the red light that lit up, the entire space was revealed in front of the three of them.
The dry skeleton, the broken stone sword, the walls with countless cuts, and the faint sound of chanting in the air all made Huang Heng and the others stunned.
The whole interior is about 400 square meters, and the space is not very large, but there are a lot of furnishings inside.
Since the three of them broke into this space, all elf-related abilities have been isolated, and Huang Heng finally realized the powerlessness of ordinary people
Dense characters filled the entire wall, and Huang Heng finally knew why the handwriting on the stone slab was blood-red.
There were several skeletons in the corners, and their hand bones still held sharp stones, and there were traces of dark red blood on the ground that had not been extinguished for thousands of years.
"The Khorgomos, they are notoriously wasted on the continent and simply do not have the ability to fight. It's just that their blood is the best printing and dyeing material, and the red mark will not fade after a thousand years. ”
Huang Heng and the three of them all looked at the person who was talking, and a stone chair was placed in front of the wall in the deepest part of the room, and on the chair sat something like a dried corpse.
It's just that his sitting posture is extremely strange, like a child sitting on a relatively large toilet, as if he will fall down at any time.
His language is modern English, and he speaks a great London accent.
"You're from the Elwei family?"
Huang Heng looked at the dried corpse that opened and closed his upper and lower jaws and ripped the skin of his cheeks when he said that, and suddenly thought of something in his heart and asked directly.
"My name is Charles Elwe. Originally, I didn't want to give my name directly, but there were no people here who knew me, so I ......"
Huang Heng nodded knowingly, after all, the customs of the British and Americans are different, and Americans must introduce themselves when they enter an unfamiliar circle.
And the British always need not to be referred, as if it were a shame to give their name in front of strangers.
Of course, in the age of the Internet, they have already thrown this custom into the ditch, but the person in front of them has obviously not been baptized by the modern fast-paced society.
The three of them gathered together and listened to Charles, who was connected to the stone bench, tell his story.
The story isn't very long, but Charles has to add complicated modifiers and obscure dry humor, which takes up a lot of time.
It probably means that he was originally a professor of literature at Oxford University, and followed his father to Australia because of the war. After the end of the war, his cousin seized his property and he was placed under house arrest.
His cousin had somehow dug up a prehistoric relic while mining in the Blue Mountains Ranch, and he naturally asked to check it out, only to be locked up in an underground cave.
Huang Heng knew the next thing.
The old gentleman completely sealed off the entire underground mine after obtaining the slate, and dreamed of gaining abilities until he died.
"But how did you get to this point?"
Lin Yuan picked up the stone sword next to him and gently tapped Charles's buttocks, which had been integrated with the stone bench, and asked with interest.
"You know, I'm British......"
Charles has an excellent personality, and when Lin Yuan asked, he was not angry because of his embarrassment, but shrugged his shoulders and spread out his pine stick-like arms and laughed at himself:
"As a traditional British, my favourite thing is chairs, so when I was trapped underground, I saw this chair and naturally sat on it."
Huang Heng suddenly remembered the few people sitting on the dragon chair in the Taihe Palace, and secretly sighed in his heart that this kind of inheritance was really a pitfall.
Charles sat lonely on the cold bench for more than fifty years, and naturally had an inexplicable excitement in the face of strange Rao.
He babbled that he didn't know why he hadn't died of hunger for fifty years, and that his stomach had already devoured each other like the stomach of the girl who stepped on bread.
And he doesn't know when he will be able to turn into a bird and fly out.
Lin Yuan and the three of them listened to Charles's story very patiently, after all, this kind of working corpse is not common, and it is estimated that it can only be encountered in the pyramid.
It's just that country Z can't be exempted from visas, and the identities of Huang Heng and Lin Yuan determine that they can't go abroad without authorization, coupled with the problem of the lock area of the elf pet APP, the two of them gradually dispelled the idea of visiting the pyramid.
Chen Huiyao, who was behind Huang Heng, suddenly remembered something, looked at Charles and asked:
"What do you mean by the Khorgomos just now, and why do you know them?"
"After I was trapped in the dark for ten years, I inexplicably heard voices from the air, and it turned out that they were the undead in this secret room that had not disappeared."
When Charles uttered the word "undead", the muscles on Chen Huiyao's face trembled slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the fragments of the skeleton behind him that had already decayed.
"Of course, this may be my delusion, or maybe it is the voice that I suddenly imagined when I was bored."
Huang Heng twitched his facial muscles cooperatively and accompanied Charles with a stiff smile, but this smile seemed to Charles to be a willful encouragement, so he continued:
"This chamber was built by a group of followers of the Cult of Takos, whose theocratic kingdom was quickly destroyed by the decay of the upper echelons and the resistance of the people below, as well as the invasion of the elves, who were the last to flee."
"As the last believers, they hid the stone tablets that would give them strength, intending to build another temple beneath the ground. It's just that you see, they didn't build such a rudimentary place until they died. ”
Huang Heng shook his head slightly, even if these are not Charles's fantasies but real happenings. Those Tacos believers are definitely not the only ones, you must know that there are two stone tablets in Huang Heng's country.
At the same time, Huang Heng also noticed that Charles mentioned that the word "elf" instead of "fairy" used by Charles, and all the English descriptions of elves in the elf pet app used "fairy", which means that the two are completely different systems.
Charles didn't see Huang Heng's expression, he had already fallen into his own world, and his face showed a trace of inexplicable banter and said softly:
"The tablet is the crystallization of the divine power of the god of Tacos, which transmits the divine power through the passage into the body of the believer and allows them to obtain the heirs of the gods. It's just a pity that these believers are all male, so they can't give birth to a second generation of children at all, so they can't break the entire blockade,"
"It's the same with my stupid brother, he can't get the power of Takos after getting that tablet, but his children can. By the way, does he have children? ”
Huang Heng looked at Charles who was trapped underground, a trace of unbearability flashed on his face, and he said in a low voice:
"Didn't welcome..."
As soon as Huang Heng's words fell, the stone sculpture overlooking the ground on the flower board roared angrily in an inexplicable voice.
Huang Heng looked at Charles.
Charles smiled, his face ripped under his ears, and he said softly:
"You don't have to comfort me, it's been fifty years, and I've already let go of this grudge. Now it's interesting to hear the undead tell me about the history of the entire Takos Empire. ”
Huang Heng and the three were silent, and then bowed slightly to him.
It has nothing to do with international gender, age, race, just because of the spirit he has.
When the three of them explored the surroundings of the secret room and were about to leave, Charles ordered Huang Heng to send down the pen and paper, and Huang Heng nodded lightly when he heard this.
"By the way, you should tell my neighbors not to be too noisy, sometimes it will disturb my communication with the undead."
"Neighbors?"
Huang Heng looked at the old man in front of him strangely and asked softly.
"Well, they've been noisy since twenty years ago, right behind the door behind me."
Wasn't it more than 20 years ago when the Andrews Hill Alliance entered Australia to kill Lance Al Wei and occupy the ranch, Huang Heng's eyes lit up, and they finally thought of the purpose of this trip.
Huang Heng walked around the stone chair and looked at the low door behind him, and opened the door under Charles's guidance, revealing a cold rock inside.
"Put your hands on ......"
Charles instructed softly.
Huang Heng put his hand into the gray rock, and Huo Ran walked through, opposite to a steel wall.
After Huang Heng got out of the secret room, the elven power on his body instantly recovered, and with just one punch, he opened the steel plate welded wall and broke in.
The people inside were holding their hands on a male kangaroo, and they were visibly startled when Huang Heng broke in.
The belt binding the kangaroo on the operating table was instantly loosened, and the kangaroo came out of its mouth "Hmm...... Hey", he kicked the operating disc next to him, jumped down and hid behind Huang Heng.
"Oh my god, it scared me to death, I thought I was going to be vivisected today."
Huang Heng ignored the researchers who had no ability fluctuations at all, and looked at this DB-speaking kangaroo strangely:
"You talk?"
"How rare, there are so many animals that can talk to this Karma, but they are all raised by these Bs to death, and I pretend not to talk to live until now."
A black line flashed on Huang Heng's face, and he was secretly shocked in his heart.
Even Huang Heng's three pets can only use the unique voice generator of the Elf Pet APP to speak. And Huang Heng has only seen three animals that can speak directly.
The Australian magic dragon is counted as one, and there are two super S elves Kunpeng and Ezi.
Could it be that the Andrewsman Alliance has already experimented with animals above Class B?
You must know that Chen Qian, the most powerful in the second laboratory, can only turn a monk's hat monkey into a preparatory elf, and that monkey is several levels different from the kangaroo in front of him.
"Why don't you speak English......"
Chen Huiyao, who followed behind Huang Heng, asked timidly:
"it, look down on people! How many times is the DB language NB than the grunting English, fake foreign devil ......"
As it spoke, it pushed Chen Huiyao's shoulder with its thick front paws and asked loudly:
"If you still want to drop, just ask you what you still want!"
Chen Huiyao waved his hand again and again, he was naturally not used to fighting directly with this evil force, so he could only apologize timidly.
Huang Heng turned to look at the already empty laboratory, and when he went out, he finally knew how this kangaroo called "Horay" learned this standard DB tone.
Immediately out of the hallway, you can see a row of transparent glass rooms on the opposite side, and in one of the rooms is playing "DB Family", although it is English subtitled, but in the original sound.
"It's all a bunch of gray fools. Let's go, I'll help you find their leaders and tell them that these cowards love animals at all. ”
Lin Yuan looked at Huo Lei, who was in front of him in a posture of rolling up his sleeves, his mouth twitched and asked in a strange tone of yin and yang:
"Big brother, you have three views...... It's pretty good. ”
"That's it, I only knew the truth by watching Antelope TV dramas, if it weren't for capitalism's monopoly on raising bad guys. You and I are brothers in the same house, so when one was pulled out and there were not two, the result was bloodshot when I pulled it back, and my anger was really bubbling up. ”
"If I hadn't been able to beat them, Lao Tzu would have torn their bloody pants a long time ago."
"You're pretty slippery ...... talk."
Lin Yuan's mouth twitched, her two elf pets belonged to the quiet type, and naturally they were not as capable as Holei.
"Sister, you can only watch a TV series for four or five years, and you will be annoyed. I sometimes put my face on the glass and look at the cross talk on the other side, hey, don't, it's funny. ”
Huang Heng couldn't help laughing so much that he almost couldn't bear it, although he knew the true face of Andrew Shanlian, but he didn't know that they could still spoof like this.
There are traitors among these researchers, too.
