When Lu Yunjie changed his clothes and came to the living room, Li Xiaoxiao and Lin Yue were already waiting on the sofa.

"What the hell is going on? I must have been dreaming...... Or, I'm just dreaming now......" Lu Yunjie was a little confused. The scene of escaping death from the hands of the demon is still vivid, and in a blink of an eye, how can he return to his guest room?

Li Xiaoxiao said: "Yes, we don't know very well. You fainted after taking that person's pill, but it wasn't long before we lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was already on the sofa in the living room. ”

Lin Yue continued: "Yes, it's really weird...... You're obviously very badly wounded, but by the time we see you, you're all healed......"

"How's it going out there? Did a lot of people die in the theater? Lu Yunjie asked with a frown.

Li Xiaoxiao shook his head: "This is the strangest part...... It's like nothing happened outside......"

Lu Yunjie found a chair and sat down, recalling what happened before in his mind.

"Could it be...... You've been in the inner world since the beginning? Still is...... Is this all the devil's trick? ”

Lu Yunjie muttered to himself with a calm head. He felt that since he met Li Xiaoxiao, all kinds of strange events had been happening around him one after another. In the past, he was always looking for things to do by himself, but now, things are all coming to the door on his own initiative.

At this time, Lu Yunjie thought of something and asked Li Xiaoxiao, "By the way, what time is it?" Where is the cruise? ”

Li Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly: "There are still more than an hour to arrive at Ninghai Port......

Lu Yunjie's expression was stunned, and finally spit out two words: "it...... Play a **......"

Nanhu Province, in a certain mountain in Tanxiang City.

Four men and three women, each wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying large bags and small bags, shuttled through this inaccessible primeval forest.

Everyone's face was covered in a mixture of sludge and sweat, panting like a cow, and their physical strength was clearly close to their limit.

Eventually, one of the fatter men stopped, holding his knees in his hands and gasping for breath.

"Fat three! Don't stop! It's coming soon! A middle-aged man behind him said.

The two thick slap flesh of the fat three continued to shake with his breathing, he raised his head, gasped twice heavily, and said, "Old dog! I...... I can't run! Can't you just take a break? ”

With that, he took out a bottle of water from his backpack and drank it violently.

The old dog shook his head helplessly, and then shouted at the person who had already run ahead: "Zicong! Take a break, it's almost there anyway. ”

The person in front of him couldn't help but stop when he heard it.

He Zicong, who was walking in the front, rolled his eyes and could only say, "Okay, okay!" Everyone take a break. ”

After saying that, he sat down on the ground himself, took out the dry food from his bag and ate it.

He Zicong - male, 29 years old, national first-class archaeologist, is currently the deputy chief of the archaeological section of the Nanhu Provincial Institute of Archaeology and Cultural Relics. A week ago, he received instructions from his superiors that someone had found a strange architectural remains in the primeval forest of Xiangshan Mountain in Tanxiang. So, he and his colleagues formed an expedition team to investigate, because of this, he even missed the opportunity to travel with his girlfriend.

His seven-member squad is called Rat Hunting, and in addition to him, there are three men and three women.

Zhu Yue: 25 years old, expert in equipment and instruments, specializing in preparing the necessary equipment for expeditions.

Lei Ting: 27 years old, second-level paleontologist.

Chen Yu: 27 years old, second-class cultural relics appraiser.

Wang San (nicknamed Fei San): 28 years old, second-level cultural relics appraiser.

Zhang Qian (nicknamed Lao Dog): 32 years old, veteran, free fighting master, gunsmith.

Deng Xiaofeng: 29 years old, senior physician, nutritionist.

Less than five minutes after they had rested, the sky suddenly darkened, and bean-sized raindrops fell on their faces without warning.

"! Why is it raining, doesn't the weather forecast say sunny? Fei San couldn't help but say.

The old dog smiled and stood up, looked at the iPad with radar function in his hand, and said, "Okay, let's go, it's only a quarter of an hour away from the coordinates!" ”

With that, the old dog walked to the front of the line. He Zicong beckoned to the team members behind him and immediately followed.

About 20 minutes later, the group came to the place where the coordinates were displayed, although this coordinate was only an approximate location given by the informant, but it was not much different.

After searching among the bushes, they soon discovered a special area hidden within.

"Found it, it should be here. Come here. "The old dog was the first to be discovered. Through the walkie-talkie, other team members who were nearby immediately followed the radar watch.

It is a circular area of about 100 square meters, with no trees, no vegetation, and the ground has become unusually muddy under the washaway of rainwater. In the middle of the area there is a ruined stone arch, about 3 meters high and 4-5 meters wide. On the ground in front of the arch there is a stone slab the size of a manhole cover.

He Zicong came to the slate, squatted down, and wiped the mud and stagnant water on the slate with his sleeve. He found a circle of illegible writing carved into the slate. According to He Zicong's guess, this stone slab is at least a thousand years old, otherwise, those handwriting would not have been worn so badly.

However, this circular area is very strange. It's as if someone has been cleaning here all the time, otherwise after hundreds of thousands of years, it would have been covered with all kinds of vegetation, how could there be a circle of intact open space, not even a single grass.

Chen Yu and Fei San were studying the dilapidated arch, but there were no patterns or words on the arch, so they couldn't tell what age it was.

The rain was getting heavier and the sky was getting darker, which made the work of the rat hunting team more difficult. He Zicong said: "Xiaofeng, Fei San, you help the old dog to set up the zero-hour tent, Zhu Yue, install the equipment." Lei Ting and Chen Yu, you can take some samples nearby. I'll take a break and wait for the rain to light up. ”

Under Ho Zicong's instructions, everyone began to act. He himself took out a knife and shovel to clean the area around the slate, and finally the slab protruded completely from the ground. It was only in the process of digging that He Zicong found something hard about ten centimeters below the edge of the slate, and when he scraped a hole, he found that there was a red wooden board under the slate.

Gently tapped with his hand a few times, and the wooden board made a thick clattering sound.
