Her attention was entirely focused on observing her surroundings, and from time to time she crouched down to study some details, so to speak, with undivided attention.

When Li Xiaojiang looked at her, he had a subtle feeling.

That's Dr. Gao, she loves it all, and when she's in it, everything else is overlooked.

All he could do was protect her while reminding himself that she was the most capable woman he had ever seen.

She knows what she's doing, and she's very practical.

Once the ore is discovered, the whole situation is bound to change dramatically.

It is always a virtue to plan ahead, so he has already planned and taken precautions, and if nothing happens, he will behave as usual.

Those enemies who hide in the shadows have not really revealed their hideous minions.

Gao Yan saw the statue of the god in the distance.

Although it is hidden by vines, it is still different from other places.

It was a strangely shaped statue.

She took extreme care to check the characteristics of everything in the notebook, its current condition, and so on, following the passwords in her notepad.

She couldn't leave with too much without an accident, and she was reluctant to destroy any evidence that could unravel the whereabouts of the ore, as well as clues that could help understand how far the ore excavation was going.

The statues here are very strange! But it also proves that there are people here.

There is no need to open the way, because there is a road that has already been opened, pointing directly to the idol.

Li Xiaojiang asked everyone to rest in place.

Gao Yan saw Li Xiaojiang sitting on a rock on the ground, cleaning his gun and oiling it.

The two looked at each other, Gao Yan smiled slightly, and opened his notebook.

Li Xiaojiang thoughtfully continued to wipe the gun.

Over the past few days, he had developed the habit of secretly observing her, probably because Gao Yan was the only woman here who knew the code, and she was also an important researcher.

Gao Yan studied the topography of this place from the password instructions, and the opposite edge was raised, which could help her have a recognizable indicator when she couldn't see the entrance of the passage later.

From this position, she could see what looked like a small basin, and the ground was covered with leaves.

She also had the same doubts about the trees here, why couldn't she see them particularly tall?

The hill before they came in was densely jungled, with tall trees almost obscuring the sky, but here the sun was abundant, and it was supposed that there must be huge towering trees.

Although it rains every day, and a lot of rain can cause erosion to the soil, this is not the case here, the washed soil is still left at the bottom of the valley, which is a basin and there is no condition to lose soil, so the trees grow short.

It's not too strange.

Li Xiaojiang suddenly appeared behind her, "What did you find?" ”

Gao Yan shook his head, "It's strange because they haven't found it, it looks like there are signs of human activity here, if they found the ore here, then is the ore protected or just a part of it." ”

What she didn't say was that this part of the elements in these ores was important for their research, if there were signs of human activity here, then were these people doing research here or were they just primitive tribes living here?

"In my report, it shows that the sacrificed researchers have found the tribes of the primitive tribes here, so I am more inclined to believe that this is the traces left by the primitive tribes, and of course it is not excluded that someone has entered the place in advance. However, according to the signs we looked for yesterday, there was no sign of vandalism at the entrance of the cave, and if we hadn't searched carefully, we might have missed this place.

At the moment, it doesn't look like an outsider has entered here. But we have to be careful, because many primitive tribes don't know about us and can easily think of us as invaders, and of course there are some tribes that have the habit of cannibalism, hoping that we don't meet this kind of people. ”

This is not that he is alarmist, it is true that this primitive tribe does not understand the language, and the primitive living habits of the Tu people make them have many customs that are very different from civilized human beings.

There are many Turks who have a habit of eating their captives.

However, reports from two researchers show that they were able to get the ore to prove that the tribe they encountered was not a cannibal.

"Let's go, we can return as soon as we find the ore, I don't want to meet cannibals with my guts." Gao Yan smiled sarcastically, very disapprovingly, she thought that Li Xiaojiang was just scaring her.

Li Xiaojiang didn't explain either, and the work of protecting her was naturally done by himself.

The way forward was still circuitous, they didn't need to make a hard way to open the way, they saved a lot of time, and it took more than half an hour for them to finally reach the statue.

This idol is a giant stone statue carved directly out of the rock.

It looks bigger than a real person, and with the supporting pedestal, it is three or four meters high.

The style of this statue is similar to that of the Maya, but the carving is superior.

The facial features of the idol are not exaggerated, and the proportions of the body are relatively normal.

But there was still a chill running through everyone's back, and people couldn't help but hold their breath in awe.

Although Li Xiaojiang and the others have received rigorous training, they still feel nervous, and they must force themselves to relax in order to be fearless.

But I still can't get rid of this shocking feeling, which is an awe-inspiring and unbelievable feeling.

The idol was apparently a female warrior, armed with a large spear and a bow and arrow behind her back, with one hand held high as if she were about to grab something from a high place.

There were no traps, no crumbling floors, and they were stepping on solid rock.

Gao Yan carefully examined the place every inch of it, and she easily walked down to the center of the vast temple carved out of stone, flanked by statues of warrioresses who served as eternal guardians.

It is a shrine.

It's amazing.

At the end of the temple is a mausoleum carved out of stone.

Like everything else in the Temple of Silence, it was covered in dust and cobwebs.

Representing the original traces that no one has touched for an unknown amount of time, there is a male statue in relief on the top of the sarcophagus, and another patron saint is placed in a niche above the sarcophagus.

Even after a long time of dust accumulation, she could see at a glance that it was a stone!

Li Xiaojiang escorted her forward more cautiously than before, through the tangled vines, standing in the cool darkness.

They felt more like intruders, the expressionless eyes that looked down on them, as if they knew they didn't belong here.

They don't fit in with this place.
