In the whole of Africa, only in the southern part of the country does a part of the rhizome of the shijie tree exist, and in the northern Africa, it is basically barren. As a result, the phenomenon of awakening that has occurred in Africa has not been common throughout history. A considerable number of the African Awakened later came to the European Council to be administered. In addition, the African secular shili is too complicated, so the African Awakened Management Committee has not been established, but it has been coordinated and divided in the general geographical location.

However, there is a very strange phenomenon in Africa. Many famines, genocides, and other things that are very much like demonic influences in history have been proven to have nothing to do with demons. In other words, all the disasters there are natural, as if they were cursed.

Some awakened people believe that this is related to the fact that the rhizome of the Shijie Tree did not appear in Africa, but this cannot be explained, the Weishenme demons will appear on other continents, and even Antarctica has a record of demons entering, but here in Africa, it seems that even demons are unwilling to set foot in it.

Xiao Yan didn't think that he had the ability to solve this mystery, and when it came to the problem of demons, it was still those legends who had fought with demons more times to have the right to speak. He came to Merovi, a city in central Sudan, for the strange adventurer and the adventurer's discovery.

Du Ruoxi's intelligence gathering work came to a standstill two days ago, and the identity of the adventurer became more and more strange as the investigation deepened. Theoretically, he was originally a person who shouldn't have existed.

The notes and adventure records of contemporaries do not contain any record of Lendl as a person. In the other searchable records, there is no trace of Rendell. In other words, there is no evidence of where he came from. It was as if the adventurer had appeared in the Sultan out of thin air.

The only objective record of this adventurer. It's a transcription. An obscure record of a passenger ship's voyage. At that time, Lundl and his men boarded the ship at Merovi with a few boxes and prepared to leave for Cairo. On board, Lendel contracted dengue fever and then died a day later, as one of the surgeons on the passenger ship could testify. After that, the rest of the entourage also died. This mass death frightened the rest of the passenger ship so much that no one dared to touch Lendl's chest, as well as his relics.

At the time of the passenger ship finally arrived in Cairo. No one has claimed Lendall's relics, and no one knows if Lendl has any relatives or where he is going to transport "those boxes". Eventually, the then Colonial Port Authority took over the goods and sent them to the British Museum, along with Lendel Zuihou's relics, the notebook. The whereabouts of Lendl's body and the bodies of other team members have never been recorded.

A man who appeared out of thin air, with a team of people, entered the canyon to dig up the debris. I don't know where to take it. Then quietly dies and disappears from this shijie again. Even this description of entering the canyon to find the temple comes from Lendl's notes. There is no other evidence to prove whether his account is true or not.

The process is fraught with mysteries of all kinds, and if it weren't for the British Museum's stumbling upon the stumbling discovery of these fragments last year, the mysterious adventurer would have continued to be buried in history into the distant future.

So far, there are only 3 pieces of physical evidence about Rendel, Lendall's notes, fragments, and voyage records that have been copied by the Port Authority, and as for the flight at that time, the accounts of other witnesses have disappeared with the passage of time.

For now, Rendell's embarkation in the port of Merovi is the only clue for Xiao Yan to find a breakthrough. From a normal point of view, if there really is this canyon, there is this temple, it should not be too far from Merovy. And Xiao Yan came here to conduct a general field survey to see if it was possible to find a general idea.

The body shook constantly, and a little green appeared in the yellow sand outside from time to time, and then it was quickly left behind by the car. Now Xiao Yan is traveling with a convoy provided by the Abdul family to the mountains east of Merowe, where they will conduct a third investigation.

Unlike in the nineteenth century, with the development of secular technology, small clues can easily become the key to breaking through problems.

Lendall's account of the canyon and the temple is vague and does not describe how to enter and find the canyon, but the note provides at least a few key factors.

Inaccessible, canyon areas, plus enough dry climate to keep this temple from collapsing for thousands of years, and "abandoned".

Using computer simulations, it is easy to simulate the changes in the course of the Nile over thousands of years, and then compare it with a map from 1899 to sort out the general situation around Merovy. In addition, the changes in the course of the Nile often determine the existence or abandonment of a temple, and temples that are getting farther and farther away from the Nile will inevitably be abandoned eventually.

In addition, the current area of human activity in the vicinity of Merovi can also be excluded from the option, and if the place frequented by humans, the abandoned temple would have been discovered and excavated long ago, and would not have remained silent.

Therefore, although the area around Merowe is very large, there are not too many people who can really enter this candidate range.

In the end, Xiao Yan and Du Ruoxi identified four suspicious areas, three of which were in the mountains east of Merrowy, and over this mountain, Khartoum, another large city in Sudan, and the fourth suspicious area was also in this mountainous area, but closer to Khartoum.

In the previous investigation, Xiao Yan and Du Ruoxi had already vetoed two areas, and now they were about to go to the third area. If that doesn't work, they have to move to Khartoum, where the Abdul family has already begun to prepare a supply depot.

"On the right side of the mountain is the kingdom of the beasts. Follow the sunshine for a day's walk. I saw a trumpet blowing, and the door was in front of me. ”

Looking at the uniform desert and hilly scenery outside, Xiao Yan whispered the words on the title page of the notebook.

After a 10-hour journey, some distance from the third suspicious location, Xiao Yan and his team arrived at a supply depot in Zuihou, set up by the Abdul family. From here, they will say goodbye to their cars and drive their camels into the mountains.

No guide was found, because no one came to these mountains, and the Abdul family wanted to send a helicopter, but the secular negotiations with the Sultan had not yet been approved, so they had to act according to their own rhythm.

Fortunately, he had already "hiked" twice before, and now Xiao Yan is not in a hurry. After getting off the off-road vehicle, shaking off his head full of sand, Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Du Ruoxi and Tristina who got off the other car, and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Du Ruoxi didn't care, Tristina looked a little motion sick, she reached into the silk scarf that covered her face, as if pouting. After a while, the female designer straightened up and said, "It's much better, I'm fine." ”

"You should take a plane back to China in Riyadh instead of following me to suffer."

Xiao Yan said this, but he didn't look angry. Compared to the situation of the trial Shijie, the current journey is already considered heaven. Now that it's been decided to awaken Tristina, it wouldn't have been a good thing to get her used to this harsh environment earlier.

Tristina obviously understood this truth, and the female designer did not make any excuse for Xiao Yan's complaint, but asked directly: "What time will you leave tomorrow morning?" ”

Du Ruoxi looked at the bright galaxy in the sky, frowned and said, "If possible, I would rather act at night, the consumption during the day is too great." ”

"It's still the old rules," Xiao Yan said as he walked towards the station wagon that had been converted into a luxurious bedroom by the Abdul family, "At 5 o'clock in the morning, set off while it was still cool." ”

At this moment, Tristina suddenly pulled Du Ruoxi's hand, pointed to the sky and asked, "What is that?" ”

Xiao Yan and Du Ruoxi turned their heads together, and in the night sky in the distance, a straight black pillar of smoke could be faintly seen.

Artificially made plumes of smoke? No, Xiao Yan quickly denied this, this pillar of smoke appeared too suddenly, as if it had appeared there in the first place. What was even more surprising was that the pillar of smoke was constantly moving in the direction of the camp.

A black Sudanese man wrapped in a white cloth also spotted the windless automatic pillar of smoke, his face changed, and he tugged at Xiao Yan's sleeve to push him into the carriage of the wagon, while he was still shouting at the two masked women, as if to say something. However, mixed with Arabic slang, Sudanese French with a black indigenous voice is estimated to be one of the most difficult languages to master on this shijie, so much so that after roaring for a long time, Du Ruoxi only understood the word "white devil".

At the same time, almost all the members of the supply depot were instructed by the local blacks to quickly enter the inside of the carriage and block all the analysis.

Looking at this situation, Xiao Yan did not refuse the black man's kindness, one in each hand, dragged the two women into his station wagon, and closed all the windows tightly. But as if that were not enough, the black man pointed to the lights in the carriage and said something, but for religious reasons, he could not enter this temporary residence of Xiao Yan, and could only direct at the door.

Xiao Yan nodded to the black man, motioning for him to leave as soon as possible and find a safe place. Then he turned off the lights, and the whole car quickly fell into darkness. There was no air conditioning, the cabin was extremely hot, and there was no air convection, and it didn't take long for the air in the carriage to become noticeably cloudy.

"What's that?"

Du Ruoxi asked in a low voice, and then, a crackling sound like a rain hitting a plantain suddenly appeared in all directions outside this carriage. (To be continued......)
