"Hehe, fat man, how many ants have you counted by now?" Li Jiahao laughed.

Luo Fatzi's face was straight, and then he replied seriously: "Alas, Brother Hao, it would be good if you came a few minutes late, I was counting just now, but you suddenly appeared, and my attention was interrupted by you, and I forgot the number I just counted." ”

"Fat brother, you've been squatting in front of this ant nest for so long, maybe that nest of ants has already regarded you as your own." Liu Rumei also teased.

Luo Fatzi turned his head and smiled: "That's it, I've become friends with these ants now, if you don't come yet, they plan to take me to find the palace in Gumi City." ”

"Haha, if these ant friends of yours can take you to find the palace, then we will save a lot of trouble." Li Jiahao said with a smile.

Then he turned to Wu Ze and asked, "Wu Ze, the three of you have been looking here for so long, have you found any clues about the palace?" ”

"Brother Hao, we have come all the way, including here, we have not seen any buildings associated with the palace, it stands to reason that like this kind of ancient city, the palace is generally located in the center of the city, but you see, this is already the center of the city, but there is no building with the style of the palace, for this matter, I also feel very puzzled." Wu Ze shook his head and replied.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Ze continued: "However, according to my guess, the imperial palace of this ancient Mi country may not be built on the surface of this ancient Mi city, but is located under the ground of this city. ”

"The Underground Palace? This ......" Li Jiahao was a little stunned, he had never thought about it in this regard.

As soon as Wu Ze's idea came out, there was an uproar in the inspection group, his idea was indeed very novel, and most of the other members of the delegation felt a little disapproving.

"Brother Ze, this situation is impossible, right? Which emperor would build his perennial residence underground, your idea is too nonsense. Xu Weidong pulled the corners of his mouth and said, he had never heard of this kind of statement.

However, it was surprising that Wu Ze's idea was supported by Qian Wenxuan.

"Don't say it, there is really such a possibility, most of these small countries in the desert are built on the edge of rivers, either there are surface rivers flowing through them, or there are underground rivers passing under their cities, such as Gumi City, which has no surface rivers passing through small countries, there must be dark rivers underground, such small countries, water sources are not important to them, so it is likely that their palace is located in the place where the underground river flows." Qian Wenxuan explained.

"That's right, that's what I think, Senior Brother Qian's thoughts coincide with mine, we don't mean that the royal family of Gumi City all live underground, it should be said that it's just that the important parts of their palace are underground, and there are still ordinary palaces on the surface, but the scale is not as grand as we imagined, so that after thousands of years, the aboveground part has collapsed, so that we can't see it now." Wu Ze also explained.

Listening to the two of them explain repeatedly, the members of the delegation fell into deep thought, if they think about it according to this line of thought, then the imperial palace in Gumi City is indeed very likely to be located underground, but now the buildings on the surface have basically collapsed, and in a hurry, it is difficult to find the entrance to the underground palace.

"Okay, let's not discuss this issue, about the matter of the Gumi Kingdom Palace, let the follow-up archaeological team excavate, we don't need to continue to struggle here." Zhang Qichen finally stopped the argument between them.

To tell the truth, they really found out the palace of Gu Mi now, and they can't carry out archaeological excavations, because they are now short of personnel and supplies, and no matter how much they insist, their expedition group will not be able to stay here for too long.

Since Zhang Qichen, the head of the inspection group, has already spoken, everyone will no longer discuss the matter of this ancient palace of the ancient country.

Zhang Qichen and the others looked at the temple made of stone not far away, and immediately became interested again, there were no other decent buildings around, only this temple made of stone, so it looked very conspicuous, and they planned to go here to investigate.

The temple is made of a gray-black stone that has survived thousands of years of wind and sand, and has not collapsed, showing its extraordinary solidity.

When everyone approached, they found that the stone door of this temple was actually open, and judging from the traces next to this stone door, it could be confirmed that this stone door had been opened recently. Could it be that someone has already taken the lead in getting there?

This discovery made everyone nervous, is there a tomb robber who got here before them? Or did someone inadvertently break into this temple? They have no way of knowing what the hell is going on right now.

Just in case, Xu Weidong, who kept the shotgun, quickly took out the two shotguns, one of which he quickly handed to Wu Ze, and the other shotgun was handed to Luo Fatzi, the marksmanship of the two of them, Xu Weidong had seen it, and he hoped that in the next trip, the two of them could use the shotgun in their hands to protect everyone's safety.

Other people who were not distributed to the shotgun also took out the sapper shovel from their backpacks and used the sapper shovel as a weapon for self-defense, even the Mosin-Nagant they found in the ruins of the small ancient city before was also found by Zeng Xuhui, although this old gun had no bullets at all, but Zeng Xuhui also wanted to take it out as a façade, although it could not be used for shooting, but it was good to be able to scare the enemy.

After seeing that everyone was ready, Wu Ze, who was wearing a headlamp on his head, held a shotgun in both hands, and Luo Fatzi, who had the same equipment, the two of them cautiously touched the stone door of this temple, one left and one right.

After the two of them touched the stone door, they each turned on the headlamp on their heads, and then flashed into the stone door with their guns, and the headlamp on their heads emitted two snow-bright beams of light, which swept through the dimly lit temple hall.

In the main hall of this temple, they did not find any living people, which made Luo Fatzi, who was very nervous in his heart, a little relieved, just when he wanted to go deep into it and search carefully, suddenly, Luo Fatzi found that there was a corpse under his feet.
