Chapter 237: Leaving the Blood Lake

Listening to the fat man's words, Aseti smiled bitterly and said: "In the Pamir Plateau, no one knows how many ancient tombs there are, you know, this is the closest place to Allah, so from ancient times to the present, there are not a few emperors and monarchs who want to be buried here." ”

The fat man listened, touched his chin and said, "If that's the case, could it be that the people who came here 30 years ago, that is, Grandpa Xia Qing, are all from archaeology?" But then what did they find out, how did they recruit all the troops, which is kind of interesting. ”

Gao Chao also said: "We heard a legend from the driver on the road, although the legend is not known to be true or false, but he also mentioned the transport unit that came in here, according to him, there are some vehicles that are transported out, some ...... It's corpses. ”

Essetti listened, but he didn't seem surprised.

He nodded, sighed, and said, "As I said, when those cars came in, they were full of soldiers, but those soldiers, it seems, very few of them go out from here. ”

The fat man was shocked: "Could it be that the story that Lao Li said is true?" I'm grass, then this ancient tomb is evil enough, Avanti, you better hurry up and tell us what's going on with those red, blood-like rivers. ”

Essati suddenly looked a little worried, he looked at the bright red lake in the distance, and said for a while, "Some people say that it is blood flowing from the blood coffin. ”

Xia Qing was suddenly stunned and said, "Blood coffin? You mean the coffin that was taken away 30 years ago? ”

Essetti nodded, but did not speak.

Xia Qing was puzzled: "If it was transported away 30 years ago, then how can this lake water." Just overnight. It's this color again. Is it ......?"

Gao Chao didn't wait for Xia Qing to finish speaking, and then continued: "Could it be that there is still a blood coffin in the mountains near here?" ”

The fat man panicked and said: "I'm grassy, the more I talk about it, the more scary it becomes, come on, I said everyone, we're not here to find the blood coffin, and it has nothing to do with us." If you want me to say, let's hurry up. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Aceti, and then said, "I said Avanti, isn't our target the Tomb of the Western Night King quite far away?" ”

Aceti nodded helplessly, but turned his head to look at Xia Qing again, as if he was hoping that Xia Qing could say something and give an order.

Xia Qing sighed, but he didn't mean to speak, just because he had come back from Yinshan Ancient City last time. Xia Qing seems to have ceded his dominant position to Gao Chao.

So Xia Qing looked at Gao Chao at this time. Gao Chao was still pondering something.

Seeing this, the fat man coughed twice to remind Gao Chao.

Gao Chao came to his senses at this time, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he frowned and said: "Something serious must have happened here 30 years ago, no matter what it is, it has nothing to do with our operation, and now the lake has changed color and turned blood red, I think this matter may worsen, so we should leave here as soon as possible now, and we can't affect our original plan, after all, we have more important things to do." ”

After Gao Chao finished speaking, he looked at Xia Qing, as if asking Xia Qing's opinion.

Xia Qing nodded, still didn't speak, but she seemed to be a little hesitant, although Gao Chao also saw her expression, but he didn't figure out what Xia Qing was thinking.

As hesitant as Xia Qing was, there was Aceti, who was just a guide, but he seemed to be very interested in the bright red lake, and until they had finished tidying up the camp, he was still secretly looking towards the lake.

He seemed to be looking for something.

The four of them sorted out their backpacks in the fastest time and hit the road again.

They were not as fast as they were moving along the flatter shore of the lake, just because the altitude was getting higher and the air was getting thinner.

As everyone hurried, they were all watching the movement on the surface of the lake.

The lake is still as calm as a mirror, but its color, in the sunlight, looks even more eerie and gloomy.

It was definitely a thick blood color.

The whole lake was that color, and there was no way to know how this happened, only Essetti's guess, which gave them unlimited room for imagination.

They looked at the red waters, thinking about the bloody coffin that Essetti had spoken of.

What exactly is a blood coffin? Why is there blood flowing out of it?

Although Gao Chao didn't want to think about those questions, he couldn't help but be curious, but no matter what he thought, he didn't come up with the slightest idea, which was not what he was good at.

When he looked at Xia Qing next to him, he found that Xia Qing had also been staring at the blood-red lake, and Gao Chao suddenly had a feeling that Xia Qing might know much more than they thought.

Regardless, the group left the blood-red lake behind before noon.

As they walked on, they could already see a river in front of them, the one that had been cut off in the valley, it was wide and calm, but it was also blood-red.

Gao Chao looked at this big river, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, why is this river also blood-red, if this is the case, does the source of this blood-red have to go further?

The fat man had been walking in front of him, and for some reason he suddenly shouted, "Look, the river ahead is a little strange." ”

The fat man's eyes are very good, whether it is day or night, he can use the fastest time to find something that ordinary people can't notice.

The crowd looked in the direction the fat man pointed, and as far as the eye could see, where the river and the valley were barely visible, there was indeed something.

I saw that under the sunlight, the river water appeared in two colors, the upstream river water was turquoise, and from that position, the downstream river water was bright red, red and green were originally a pair of extremely eye-catching colors, now looking at it this way, it is even more obvious.

It's just that it's still far away, and it's hard to spot if you don't look closely.

"Won't it?" After Gao Chao saw such a situation, he couldn't help but exclaim: "The situation over there, why does it seem that someone has discharged sewage inside?" Don't...... Could it be that this red color is all caused by pollution? ”

Xia Qing was also watching, but shook his head and said, "It seems that it should be flowing down from the mountain, but how can red water flow down from this mountain?" Is it really sewage? ”

At this time, Aseti said: "Impossible, since we entered the mountain just now, it is impossible to have any more factories, you must know that the altitude here is about 4,500 meters, if you go up the mountain, how can there be any factories?" ”

Gao Chao was a little worried: "Aceti, the road we have to take, do we also have to pass through there?" ”

Esati nodded, "Yes, we're going to go northwest along this river, so we'll definitely pass through there." ”

Gao Chao said again: "Then can we find a way to avoid there?" ”

Esati thought for a moment and said, "It's unlikely, the best way to take here is along the river, if you change to other roads, you may have to take a long detour, and you may encounter other troubles." ”

Xia Qing thought about it at this time, and also said: "Yes, this road is actually very ideal, after all, we don't have to worry about the lack of fresh water replenishment on the plateau, and we are not easy to get lost along this road." ”

Gao Chao looked at Aiseti and Xia Qing, and suddenly had a feeling, he felt that these two people, as if they had some tacit understanding after the lake turned red, although this was just a vague feeling, but it made Gao Chao feel a little confused.

But this confusion only flashed in Gao Chao's mind.

He nodded helplessly and said, "If we continue to move forward, we still have to try to avoid those red rivers, because it is not clear whether those red rivers are harmful to people, and we must buy time to leave this red water as much as possible before dark." ”

Hearing the superb words, Esati looked at the river that divides the red and green from a distance, but shook his head a little worriedly, and said, "We will probably reach that position at most before dark." ”

Gao Chao sighed, and was also very helpless, if this was at a normal altitude, they would only need two or three hours, and they should be able to rush out of this red water, but the current situation is indeed a little difficult, their travel speed is very slow, and they need to constantly replenish fresh water and food, because exercising at high altitude requires much more calories than usual.

The group did not dare to delay, so they could only continue to hurry.

Although the road on this side of the river is relatively flat, and they don't have so much difficulty walking, but as the mountain rises, the road under their feet is actually a slow uphill road, which means that they are still climbing, so the higher they go, the thinner the air becomes.

As a result, they have gradually felt their physical strength and began to have problems. (To be continued.) )
