The swamp forest is surprisingly quiet, with only the sound of a few people walking in their footsteps, and the red rocks are not even visible along the way, which is somewhat uncomfortable.

Qijian Qi Ruosi lay on the stretcher and said: "This swamp is a bit evil, you should pay more attention, especially under your feet, if you are not careful, you may fall into it." ”

Moisture leaked from the mud under his feet, and the fat man lifted the soles of his feet, and the mud stuck to the soles of his shoes, making them filthy.

Ning Yun and the fat man put down the stretcher, and the fat man wiped the sweat with his arm, and the temperature in the swamp forest was estimated to be about thirty degrees at this time: "I can't go, it's too heavy to carry the seventh brother, and there is a possibility of sinking at any time." ”

The light is very dim, and the vegetation here grows in a strange way, with vine-like plants growing on both sides, growing to a certain height and winding up in the air at a height of more than ten meters, shielding the light from the outside world, and leaving a large area of silt in the center, as if it was specially designed for people to walk.

The quiet atmosphere is always frightening, except for the silent greenery, they are the only life here.

"What the hell, it's so hot, not a single bird is missing." Ningyun Road.

"Return the bird, I'm almost a hot bird." The fat man said.

"Look for a stick and grope around, and stay safe. Beichen, help me up and walk by myself with a stick. Shichima said.

"But ...... condition you are in now" Because of the high temperature, Qima's pale face steamed out circles of sweat, and his physical discomfort could be seen from his expression.

Zhu Beichen was a little unbearable, and kicked the fat man, a little blamed.

"Lift me up, I'm not that weak." Seven rooms were stiff and unquestionable.

Zhu Beichen's mind was restless and became irritable.

Walking in the quagmire is an extremely dangerous thing, Yang Xi took the initiative to ask Ying, holding a long branch to walk at the forefront, every step is to carefully test the water level of the road, to confirm that it is not a dark pit before beckoning the people behind to follow.

The speed slowed down for a while, and everyone's nerves tensed, paying attention to the vines beside the road and some plants they had never seen before. The deeper you go into the swamp forest, a thin layer of mist gradually spreads on the ground, and the fog clings to the ground no more than twenty centimeters away.

Yang Xi's pathfinder branch touched the hard object in the mud, he urgently waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then squatted down to scatter the fog on the ground, and soon saw the protruding ruins of ancient buildings. It was a polished stone, like part of a whole building, now scattered and sunk in the mud, green moss covering the surface of the stone.

Further to the left and right, the branches of the trees touched similar stones, and Zhu Beichen hung in one breath, obviously excited by these artificially left architectural remains. Because this means that the ancient city buried in the sand is not far away, and the increasing number of human ruins that prove that people did live here in ancient times.

July's knowledge of architecture was limited to houses with bamboo structures, and he asked Zhu Beichen: "Can you judge what kind of building is still useful?" ”

Zhu Beichen said: "It's fragmented like this, and I can't see the whole picture clearly, the stones are rectangular shapes with regular cuts, and the weight of each stone is estimated to be close to one ton." If I had to guess, I would think that the Egyptians built the pyramids here. ”

This stone is very hard, and it has survived the long history and erosion of the surrounding vegetation, and the high level of water here, so that it can still maintain its intact form. Moreover, the shape of the stone is so perfect that if you have a precise measuring instrument, you will be able to measure that the dimensions of the length, width and height on both sides of the stone are almost the same, so you can see how exquisite the construction skills of the stone were in the first place.

Astronomy, calendar, arithmetic, architecture and other skills, Zhu Beichen remembered the "Huangji Heavenly Book", the description of this masterpiece in the ancient bureau of Daxizhou. Today, it seems that the construction technology seen has far surpassed the level of modern architecture. This discovery made Zhu Beichen even more convinced of the whereabouts of the ancient books, believing that the sand-buried ancient city was behind the swamp forest, a magnificent ancient city.

Putting away the ecstasy in his heart, he continued to march forward, and walked for about another thirty minutes, but in fact the team moved very slowly, estimated to be only about a kilometer.

Yang Xi waved his hand again to signal to stop, Zhu Beichen's heart tightened, what was it this time: "There is something in the mud?" ”

The fat man took out the lighter and was about to light it, but was stopped by Shichima: "There must be no open flames here, otherwise the biogas in the swamp will be ignited." ”

Han Qingxin tried the mobile phone a little, and the faint blue light made a move towards the soles of his feet, and it was the soles of his feet, and the person buried deep in the swamp was wearing a pair of silver-white boots.

The swamp pool, it is obvious that this man accidentally stepped into the swamp and gave his life in vain.

"It's a trap, everyone stay away." Han Qingxin said.

Then everyone cooperated, and dragged the man out of the quagmire with great care.

A corpse, a freshly dead corpse, completely covered in silt. But it was still clear that the costume he was wearing was the kind of silver-white hazmat suit they had seen from head to toe in July.

"It's him." Ning Yun recognized this person, he was in Wu Min's team, the last surviving soldier. It's a pity that he is now a cold corpse, and he is also dead, dead in the mire.

"Who?" When Zhu Beichen came, Wu Min had already left, and he had not seen them.

"The Jiang family's team, the leader is the second master Jiang." July said.

The body was slightly deformed by the blisters, the swelling was not severe, and there was no decomposition, and it was determined that the time of death was within twenty-four hours.

Han Qingxin took the usable equipment from the corpse and pushed the soldier back into the quagmire: "Just let him bury him, at least another thousand years, he will still be the same." ”

At 9:10 in the morning, Han Qingxin looked at his watch and calculated the distance from Wu Min's team, and the secret path could always keep a certain distance from them at this speed. First, the gap between the equipment and firearms of the two teams is too large, and it will be more difficult to suffer in case of a conflict. Second, they plan to continue to play the role of pathfinders and avoid casualties on their own.

Not long after the corpse was gone, the remains of the building were more and more visible. There was a sudden harsh sound in the shadows ahead, Han Qingxin's head swelled suddenly, and she recognized that it was the sound of mechanical rotation, and she couldn't figure out the situation, and she relied on her rich combat experience to beckon the people behind to stick to the ground.

As soon as Zhu Beichen lay down, he was almost buried in the mud, and the smell of the earth mixed with the rancid smell made him nauseous.

More than ten seconds later, a flying object appeared in the air, and the fat man was lying not far from Zhu Beichen's side, and asked in a low voice: "Little bird, is it rare to be so small?" ”

No, this bird's call is too strange. Zhu Beichen shook his head: "Don't talk, okay, your mouth just can't be contained." ”

Han Qingxin lay on the ground, maintaining a very strange posture, and rolled a few times wrapped in a thin layer of mud to cover up his entire body, revealing the muzzle of the black hole to be alert to the situation in the air.

No, not birds. When he got closer, Han Qingxin saw that this was a small military-used remote-controlled drone, and he immediately judged that it was the well-equipped team that was surveying the situation behind him.

The drone is more than one meter long, the entire skeleton is made of aluminum alloy, Zhu Beichen also recognized it, Jiang Erye's people are really equipped with complete equipment, and even this kind of thing has been brought in.

Bang!

Han Qingxin took aim and shot decisively, and the bullet hit the propeller of the drone, and the drone emitted billowing white smoke, swayed in the air twice, lost power and plunged into the mud.

The front camera happened to be facing Zhu Beichen, and the flashing indicator light was still working on the surface.

The fat man took a deep breath and stood up, sticking to the mud and smelling the smell of the swamp made his head a little dizzy, "I thought something, a small plane, look at my whole body, it's not handsome." ”

When Zhu Beichen was just about to get up on the ground, he touched a hard object in the wet soil, and his heart chuckled. The clear touch of the palm of the hand, judging at the moment that it should be a long strip-shaped thing, the more panicked and nervous, I couldn't help but grab it.

It seemed that something had been torn off by me, and I subconsciously put the thing I grabbed in my hand in front of me and looked at it: "Ah, arm, arm." ”

He actually broke off an arm from a complete corpse skeleton, which was also something Zhu Beichen couldn't imagine. Stunned, he threw it into the mud, and the separated arms sank into the mud, and in a blink of an eye, they sank into the mud.

In the low light, the blue mobile phone light was cold, and Zhu Beichen's mood couldn't even describe himself. Han Qingxin swept over with his mobile phone, and the corpses in the mud were like shadows, most of the corpses were only a skeleton left, some of them were still mutilated, and the clothes they wore were also varied, and they looked like ancient corpses that were very old.

It's just that this number is too huge, and it really makes people suspect that this is an ancient battlefield.

The bleak scene around makes people feel cold in their hearts the more they look at it, Zhu Beichen is extremely uneasy, and said stupidly: "What are we going to go to, what is the place we are going to visit." ”

There were so many ancient corpses left in the mud that they almost walked all the way through the corpses of ancient corpses. Seven let Han Qingxin extinguish the light of the mobile phone, this kind of corpse that has not completely decomposed for thousands of years is very evil, and the most taboo is the appearance of the living when they see them before they die.

The water in the mud was getting more and more, and it had reached a certain depth, and the water in the swamp was slowly flowing and rippling.

Without lights, Zhu Beichen could still vaguely see the faces with different expressions when he passed by, and he always felt that he would see his own face in them, and this was undoubtedly the most frightening thing. Fortunately, this thought did not happen, and an ancient corpse looked over.

In the faint light, in front of an ancient corpse, Zhu Beichen stopped meaningfully, thinking that this person looked so familiar.
