That evening, a small drinking party was held aboard the Stoic. All the crew members attended, and Ross introduced Nan Xiao to everyone, and also introduced others to Nan Xiao.

Conrad Ross, captain of the "Endurance", an experienced adventurer. They already know each other, so they don't need to be introduced again.

Sanmantha West Village, a young female sailor, a photographer, Laura's best friend.

Whitman, middle-aged lewd man, archaeologist (self-proclaimed).

Reyes, an experienced black female mechanic, specializes in repairing diesel engines and is responsible for hardware maintenance.

Alex, handsome little guy, electrical engineer, computer specialist, responsible for software maintenance.

Jonah, a fat and athletic man, the ship's cook and handyman.

Greene, an old man who loves to drink, a navigator, and a seasoned seaman, is an old friend of Captain Rose.

Finally, Nan Xiao finally met Lara Crawford.

At this time, Laura was not the superwoman with extraordinary skills and two big guns. It was her first adventure, fledgling, inexperienced, and a standard rookie in the world of adventure, even with a green smile.

Who would have thought that such a weak looking aristocratic lady would turn out to be a figure with thousands of divine powers and unparalleled in the future.

Everyone was very enthusiastic and chatting happily. Beer, brandy, whiskey, what you catch and drink.

There were a lot of topics, but the most common was of course the discussion of the adventure that was about to begin.

Whitman said, "Thousands of years ago, Queen Himiko ruled Yamadai. They say that Himiko can control whether the sun rises or not, and that wherever the sun shines, it is her territory. From the mountains to the deep sea, to the ends of the earth. But one day, Yamatai suddenly disappeared silently, and gradually became forgotten by the world as the years passed. If the secret of Queen Himiko can be revealed, it will definitely be one of the most significant discoveries in the history of exploration. ”

He drank a lot of wine and was very excited: "Sun Queen, there is no doubt that she knows spells. She is a powerful sorcerer who uses black magic to rule her kingdom! ”

Sanmantha chimed in: "She's mysterious, isn't she?" Some sources even say that she is the ancestor of mankind. ”

Whitman was in high spirits: "She and her city are very mysterious. There must be countless priceless treasures hidden there. ”

All the crew was excited. At this time, everything around them was safe, and they had no idea what kind of calamity the Dragon Triangle had prepared for them.

A month later, the Stoic went out to explore the secrets of the Yamatai Kingdom as planned.

At first, it was all smooth and the problem came after I arrived in Japan.

They couldn't find the remains of the Yamatai Kingdom.

"Can't find it!"

During the meeting, Laura angrily hammered the table.

Nan Xiao quietly picked up the overturned coffee cup: "I hear everyone mention the ruins of the Yamatai Kingdom every day, isn't this ruins in Japan?" ”

Sanmantha had the best heart and took the initiative to explain to Nan Xiao: "The ruins of the Yamatai Kingdom actually refer to the island where Queen Himiko held the inheritance ceremony. ”

"Inheritance ritual?"

"The queen is also mortal, and although she wields great power, she also has a day of old age. Before her life runs out, she chooses the next queen among the priests and travels with her to a small island for a lineage ceremony. The old queen died, and a new queen was born to continue to rule Japan. Legend has it that something happened during a certain inheritance ceremony. The old queen and her chosen priests went to sea under the escort of a flotilla. However, after the appointed day, the fleet did not return to the sea. ”

Whitman interjected, "It is written that since then, Queen Himiko's reign has collapsed. Japan has since entered a new era ruled by the emperor. ”

Laura said: "I think we should continue east, into the Dragon Triangle sea. The ruins of the Yamatai Kingdom must be farther to the east. ”

Whitman shook his head, "No, there has never been anything like it in the books. No one believed that the ruins were so far to the east. I think it's safest to look west. At least to the west, closer to the main island of Japan, there are more islands. Consider that there are more than 6,000 islands off the coast of Japan, many of which are uninhabited, and the ruins may be located on one of them. ”

Sanmantha sarcastically said, "It doesn't matter what is written in the book." Anyway, the people who wrote these books never found the ruins. ”

Laura also insisted: "I discussed this with Rose. We should not follow the footsteps of those who came before us, so that we will never find it, Dr. Whitman. ”

Whitman continued to shake his head: "I don't want to risk my reputation because of your instincts. I am the Chief Archaeologist and I have thirty years of archaeological experience with two PhDs, one of which is in East Asian History. I insisted that it should go west! ”

Laura continued to emphasize her point: "I think that the ruins of Yamatai are hidden in the fog of the Dragon Triangle, and that is our destination. ”

Cook Jonah reminded: "The climate in the Dragon Triangle is not very good. ”

Laura insisted, "Legend has it that Queen Himiko can control the storm. Her anger alone can create powerful thunderstorm clouds...... You can even control lightning! What an amazing power is this? Legends don't come out of nowhere. Isn't that just proof that the Dragon Triangle is worth exploring? ”

Alex, who was in charge of monitoring the network, suddenly turned his laptop screen to face everyone: "This is the weather forecast for the Dragon Delta region in recent days, it is obviously not good, there are thunderstorms. ”

Green, the navigator, said, "I'll take the helm, it's fine." ”

Captain Ross was convinced: "We are running out of fuel and supplies, and we don't have the strength to keep swinging the sea." Laura came up with a fresh perspective, and I thought it was time to revise the plan. I'm the captain, I'll make the decision, and we'll head to the Dragon Triangle. ”

Whitman left angrily, complaining, "Is there anyone here who takes me seriously?" ”

Nan Xiao continued to drink coffee quietly. Of those in this room, he is probably the only one who knows what is going to happen.

As soon as the Endurance entered the Dragon Triangle, it was hit by a strong storm that broke the entire ship in two. The people on the ship escaped with great difficulty and ended up on a desert island. Laura is knocked unconscious with a blow in the back of the head, and she is caught in an underground chamber and hung upside down. In escaping, she endured hardships. First he was stabbed in the waist, pierced through his kidney, and then crawled all the way out of the ground and was almost caught back by the madman. In short, almost hung up. She desperately escaped, picked up a bamboo bow, and embarked on the thousand-person slashing route of Superwoman.

That's how the game is designed. However, Nan Xiao wasn't sure what would happen to the real Tomb Raider plane. After all, the game is just a reflection of reality, some fragments, and there may be some imagination mixed with the designer. Those wild brain holes may not be able to be reproduced one by one in reality, and everything is still unknown.
