After lunch, the well-fed and well-fed people finally hit the road.

In addition to Ziyang and their team on this trip to Death Valley, Asgen brought a dozen or so people, and all the rest stayed in Horse City to garrison. Asgen prepared two jeeps carrying supplies such as water and food. Wang wanted a car, too, but Asgen told him that the terrain near Death Valley was difficult for vehicles to navigate, and that the main means of transportation was horses.

Asgen gave Ziyang and each of them a horse. Lao Wang looked at the more than a dozen cattle and sheep in front of the team, and said happily: "It's better to be a herdsman, you can see that the food can go by yourself." ”

Asgen glanced at him, "These cattle and sheep are not for food. ”

"Hey, why are you doing so much?"

"These animals are testing for us." Su Rui said softly.

"What are you trying, Death Valley has a scary name, and it can really kill people?" Lao Wang pursed his lips and said nonchalantly.

Asgen looked into the distance and said expressionlessly: "A few years ago, there was a team looking for a gold mine, and because it got lost, it accidentally entered Death Valley. In the team of more than a dozen people, the vast majority of people did not come out, only one person remained. The man escaped with serious injuries and could not speak, and was blind, and died a few days later. When he died, all the flesh on his body was rotten, and the skin on his body fell down piece by piece. ”

Lao Wang retched a few times and said, "Big brother, just finished eating, can we not describe the details so vividly?" ”

Zi Yang frowned and said, "Could this be just some legends among the herdsmen?" There are many things in the world that are false. ”

Asgen looked at Ziyang coldly: "That survivor, I watched him die with my own eyes. ”

Ziyang couldn't help but shudder, and Asgen looked at him as if he were looking at a dead man.

Asgen turned his head and said slowly: "The old man in the castle said that there are demons in Death Valley that come out of the ground, they eat animal flesh and suck human blood, and those white bones in the valley are the masterpieces of demons and monsters. ”

Zi Yang really couldn't stand the cold aura emanating from Asgen's body, so he deliberately reined in the reins and slowly fell behind him.

Su Rui walked side by side with him, and Ziyang muttered to her in a low voice, "Do you think Asgen is lying to us?" ”

Su Rui looked at him suspiciously: "Why did he lie to us?" ”

"Scare us, when we got to the realm, he suddenly said that there was a ghost in front of him, don't go, and then pull the team back, this time to make money from the old nose, if it's me, I will do the same."

Su Rui glanced at him: "Why are you as unserious as Lao Wang." ”

"Hey, are you praising me behind my back again?" When Lao Wang heard Su Rui mention his name, he pulled the reins of his horse and approached them with a grin.

Zi Yang shook his head and sighed: "If there is no problem with our speculation, this coordinate is the place where Professor Zhang and Mo Laosan dug the tomb of the Emperor Zhenwu back then. ”

Lao Wang turned his head and asked Ah Chong, "Brother Chong, what do you think?" After all, that's where your dad fought. ”

Ah Chong's face was gloomy, and he whispered, "I don't know, but I'm inclined to Ziyang's opinion, Death Valley may just be a legend among herders. ”

"And what do you say about the annihilated mining team that Asgen said?" Lao Wang's logic suddenly became more thoughtful.

Zi Yang groaned: "I don't think there is necessarily a connection between the disappearance of the mining team and Death Valley—do you remember how Mo Laosan's eyes were blind back then? ”

"I remember that Mo Laosan said that his eyes were sprayed by the black gas in the wall after entering the tomb of Emperor Zhenwu-grass! I get it! Lao Wang exclaimed loudly, and Asgen and the others, who were walking in front, looked back in wonder.

Lao Wang looked panicked and said casually: "I understand!" It turns out that horses are on crutches when they walk! ”

Asgen turned his head away indifferently. Lao Wang wiped the sweat on his head and said in a low voice: "It's so dangerous, fortunately, Lao Tzu was witty and found a topic in time." ”

Zi Yang looked at him angrily: "You kid can't control his voice when he speaks?" ”

Su Rui frowned and continued: "What do you mean, the person who escaped was poisoned in the tomb? ”

Ziyang nodded: "Very likely." I guess it's not a mining team at all, it's just a tomb robber gang, eating black in the tomb, fighting each other to death for most of them, and then this poisoned person was not cared for, but walked out alive - just like Mo Laosan back then. ”

Lao Wang said angrily: "Since this is the case, let's go to a fart, even if there is a treasure in the tomb, it will have been turned upside down a long time ago, let's go back!" Xiaoli is still waiting for me! ”

Zi Yang scolded: "Why are you like Zhu Bajie, pick a son and go back to Gao Laozhuang at every turn? Can you make a little difference? ”

Lao Wang rolled his eyes: "What's the hair?" Do you think the scriptures are so easy to take? Asgen is insidious! He is not honest and has been lying to lie to us! ”

At this time, the whole team had been divided into two groups, Asgen and the others rode horses and drove cattle and sheep in front, Zi Yang, Su Rui, Lao Wang, A Chong, Xiao Hei and others were far behind, and if they didn't speak loudly, they couldn't hear each other.

Zi Yang looked at Lao Wang suspiciously: "Do you have any evidence?" ”

Lao Wang pretended to be mysterious and said: "Do you remember when I was in the arsenal, I said that I went out and called Brother Chong and Xiao Hei to come down and get equipment?" At that time, I didn't go out immediately, but ran to the secret room next to it, and glanced in through the crack in the door, you know what I saw? ”

Zi Yang frowned, he remembered that when Asgen took them to the arsenal, there was indeed a locked secret room next to it, and when he went out, Lao Wang deliberately asked what good things were hidden inside. Asgen casually told him that it was some food and medicine reserves.

"What do you see?"

"Guess." Lao Wang blinked mischievously.

"Guess your mom!" Ziyang couldn't help but burst into foul language.

Su Rui sighed: "Comrade Wang, don't sell it at this time, just say what you have - this is a matter of everyone's life!" ”

Lao Wang said triumphantly: "What is hidden in that secret room is not medicine at all, but a big coffin!" ”

Zi Yang laughed angrily at him, "Idiot, do you know what a coffin is?" Maybe it's a wooden box for the medicine – and even if it's a coffin? Maybe it was for Timur. ”

Lao Wang was anxious: "Did you prepare an old coffin for your father?" I saw with my own eyes that there were a bunch of clay pots, porcelain, and bronze objects neatly placed next to the coffin! ”

Zi Yang and Ah Chong glanced at each other: "Asgen is a tomb robber, we already know it." ”

Lao Wang was stunned: "You already knew?" Why didn't anyone tell me? ”

"Tell you what? Let you talk to Asgen when you are eating, and ask people how much a bronze object sells? ”

Lao Wang was angry: "Everyone came out to work together, and this one was hidden from me, and that one was not told to me, what do you mean?" Look down on people, huh? Don't trust me? ”

Zi Yang patted Lao Wang on the shoulder: "You, I still trust you very much, but I can't trust your mouth." ”

At this time, Asgen suddenly slowed down deliberately, waited for everyone to come to his side, and said coldly: "It's too late to enter the valley today, let's find a place to camp in front." ”

Lao Wang wondered: "The sky is still very bright, why did you stop so early?" Let's walk a little longer! Are you afraid of tiring your horse? ”

Asgen said firmly: "No! It's too dangerous! If we go into Death Valley when it's dark, there's a good chance we'll get stuck inside! ”

Asgen's tone was very harsh, Su Rui and Ziyang didn't dare to contradict him, only Lao Wang Tian was not afraid, and he stalked his neck and defended: "Death Valley? Where is Death Valley? I don't even see a shadow of the valley! ”

Asgen pointed forward with his horsewhip: "Look! ”

Everyone looked in the direction of his horsewhip, and saw several sets of white skeletons on a black shoal a few hundred meters away, which seemed to be large livestock such as cattle and horses.

Lao Wang laughed quackedly: "I said Brother Asgen, you are also a good man walking on the grassland, why are you scared when you see a few bones?" ”

Zi Yang saw that Asgen's face was getting more and more ugly, and he couldn't help but sweat for Lao Wang, when will this nerd know to shut up!

Who knew that Lao Wang not only did not know how to converge, but also said endlessly: "Brother Asgen, we Chinese have an old saying called 'take money to do things', we invite you to come, but not to go around in circles." ”

Zi Yang was shocked, he didn't expect Lao Wang, a brute, to say such hurtful words.

The muscles in Asgen's face twitched, he whipped his horsewhip hard, and ran to the front in a good way.

Lao Wang said smugly: "How is it? With my old king's incorruptible tongue, I successfully persuaded Brother Asgen, who tried to grind foreign workers! ”

Zi Yang said angrily: "Well, you persuaded him, you will be comfortable with a shuttle for you at night." ”

Lao Wang was stunned: "Won't it?" Asgen will be so yin? How dare he be so lawless? ”

Zi Yang snorted in his nose: "I don't know what people will do, I only know that strong dragons don't suppress ground snakes, not to mention that you are not a strong dragon, at most you are a long worm." ”

Su Rui looked around vigilantly and said, "I think what Asgen said makes sense, the environment around here is a bit weird......"

At this moment, a cow that had come to the front of the line suddenly fell to its knees with a scream!

"Stop! Go back! Asgen shouted.

The people who walked at the front of the team immediately drove the remaining cattle and sheep back dozens of meters, and Ziyang ran to Asgen and asked in a panic, "What's wrong?" ”

Asgen didn't say a word, held the telescope and looked at it for a while, and handed the telescope to Ziyang with a solemn face.

Zi Yang looked from a distance through the binoculars, and saw the sturdy bull lying on the ground, gasping for a few breaths and trying to stand up, but there seemed to be a huge suction force under his body that pulled it to the ground, and the bull fell to the ground, struggling weakly on all fours, leaning his neck and neighing continuously.

Zi Yang was speechless for a while, and handed the telescope to Su Rui, who looked at it for a while and then handed it to Lao Wang.

Everyone stood there silent, looking silently ahead, as if facing a huge tomb.

The sound of the bull's neighing became weaker and weaker, and a breath of death was transmitted in the quiet air around it, and after a while, the bull finally stopped breathing, and his huge body fell to the ground, his limbs stiffly stretched into the air.
