Chapter 429: The Opportunity to Wait
Watching drops of blood drip from his fingers to the diamond, Chen Ziyang showed a very helpless wry smile. Ever since I came into contact with this diamond, my blood has been given to it as if I didn't want money, and now I feel a little disgusted when I see the red, and even a little anemic.
After the blood dripped on the diamond, the diamond still didn't react, which was also expected by Chen Ziyang, because he always felt that there seemed to be something missing between the diamond and the opening of the treasure, but he didn't have a clue what the missing step was.
Chen Ziyang just wanted to try his luck in this experiment, after all, for several times, when this diamond reacted, it was related to his own blood, and seeing that the diamond was now quietly placed there, Chen Ziyang also gave up the idea of continuing research.
Some things can't be done brutally, and some opportunities are needed, but the arrival of this opportunity is not something that can be forced, and it takes a certain amount of chance.
After eating two biscuits in the backpack, Chen Ziyang counted the food in the backpack, probably only for one day, if there is still no one to come here tomorrow to rescue him, then from tomorrow onwards, he will have to reduce the amount of exercise and the amount of food he eats every day, and he can no longer continue to dig the treasures of the ancient country like this.
This time, instead of putting away the diamond, Chen Ziyang let the diamond be placed on the top of the altar, and he climbed a high wall on the side again and looked around the entire ruins. There was still no figure around, and after a long sigh, Chen Ziyang thought depressedly:
"Are you going to lose the bet this time? Why didn't the four groups of people come here, what happened? Or do you take it for granted?
Judging from the worst-case scenario, Instructor Liu's team did not escape from the previous wind and had already been buried under the yellow sand. Yoshioka's convoy was most likely caught in the previous sandstorm and was wiped out in the sandstorm.
And the person who released the water for the convoy is probably alone, maybe the reason why this person released the water is because he is the enemy of Instructor Liu, it is very likely that this person has died of thirst after the release of water, and is one of the sixty people who died in the water release incident, which is also very likely, the person who released the water is the one who did it with the idea of ending up together.
What about Umbrella Shishuai, was it that after he found Liu Cong, Liu Cong didn't agree to help this time, or because of the tight time, when they organized a rescue team and rushed to the ancient tomb, he had already left with Instructor Liu's team, so Umbrella Shishuai and Liu Cong pounced, and since that time they have lost their traces, they haven't kept up at all, and they don't know that they are trapped in the middle of the desert now. ”
After thinking about these four possibilities, Chen Ziyang suddenly had a very lost feeling. Maybe I've been too optimistic all along, if all these four conditions are born, then now I really become a loner, or it won't be long before I starve to death and die of thirst here.
"Eight feet of hit, it's hard to find a foot, you should die in the river, and you won't be hurt when the tsunami comes." Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang jumped off the high wall, patted the dust on his body, and returned to the ruins of the palace to continue digging for clues to the treasure.
He dug from dusk to midnight, but he found nothing. So far, Chen Ziyang has been digging for three days, and nothing has been unearthed at all except for the wall full of patterns.
He thought it was very strange that there was nothing in the ruins of the entire ancient city except the broken wall, and that there was not even a single daily vessel except for some fragments of the broken wall that had been excavated from the sand.
Before, Chen Ziyang thought that the area of this ancient city was too large, and there were too few places to dig by himself, so he didn't touch anything.
But by now, he felt that this matter was a little incredible, no matter what reason this ancient city was abandoned, and what reason the culture of this ancient country was destroyed, there should always be some traces, and there should not be no clues.
Even if there are many things buried in the yellow sand that are slowly corroded, there should always be something left, such as clay pots for water, some copper and iron utensils, or some other things that are not perishable. But there is nothing here except loess and yellow sand, and it can't be said that the people of the entire ancient city lived here with bare butts before.
Because Chen Ziyang was so tired from the excavation work the day before that his back hurt, coupled with the fatigue of this half night, he really couldn't hold on. Finding an open place, Chen Ziyang sat on the cold yellow sand, slowly thinking about the whole thing.
After thinking for a while, he didn't think of any clues, and after feeling that he had regained his strength, Chen Ziyang stood up, ready to change places and continue digging, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw a person standing behind him, and this person was staring at him.
Suddenly, seeing this person standing behind him, Chen Ziyang's hairs suddenly stood up. His first instinct was that it wasn't a person, but a ghost.
Fortunately, with years of experience, although he was frightened, Chen Ziyang's movements on his hands and feet were not slow. He suddenly jumped backwards, and at the same time threw down the sapper shovel in his hand, and before he landed, Chen Ziyang took out a few spirit runes from his pocket and threw them at the ghost.
Before the spirit rune could come into contact with this ghost, Chen Ziyang, who landed on his feet, shook his hand and punched out a string of Five Emperor Coins. Because the Five Emperor Coins are more textured, much heavier than the spirit runes floating in mid-air, so the degree of throwing out is much faster than the spirit runes, and the Five Emperor Coins and the spirit runes hit the ghost's body almost at the same time.
Before Chen Ziyang could think of his next offensive move, he suddenly saw a strange scene. The spirit rune and the Five Emperor Qian really hit this ghost's body, but the spirit rune and the Five Emperor Qian passed through the body and did not cause any damage to this ghost at all.
If you want to talk about those few spirit runes, forget it, after all, the spirit runes are not any more powerful magic weapons, and the mana contained in them is very small, but these five five emperor coins tied together are the magic weapons that Chen Ziyang is most proud of, and he has seen the power of the five coins several times, so this situation should not occur.
Seeing that his attack had no effect, Chen Ziyang suddenly retracted his wrist, tightened the red thread in his hand, and pulled the Five Emperor Coins back, and on the way back from this string of Five Emperor Coins, he passed through the ghost's body again.
But this time the Five Emperor Qian still had no effect, and the ghost was still standing there, not even knowing that he had been attacked by Chen Ziyang.
Because he jumped back a big step, Chen Ziyang had deviated from the original direction, and from his angle, Chen Ziyang's gaze was very distant, even if he changed his position, but this ghost was still staring straight at the place where he was sitting, and the ghost's eyes did not move with him at all.
Chen Ziyang, who had calmed down, suddenly reacted, this ghost didn't seem to be able to see himself at all. With this thought in mind, he stood still and carefully observed the ghost in front of him.
This ghost is pitch black below its neck, and it can only be vaguely seen that the ghost has hands and feet, and these parts of its body are all black, looking like a shadow, this scene reminds Chen Ziyang of the black ghosts he saw in the ancient tomb before.
The ghost in front of him is almost exactly the same as the ghost besieging himself and Li Bojian in the ancient tomb, the only difference is that the ghost standing in front of him has facial features, and the facial features are relatively clear, but the whole face looks miserable and white, especially under the reflection of the moonlight, it is even more white.
Later, Chen Ziyang appeared, this ghost looks a bit like a Westerner, taking into account the characteristics of Asians and Europeans, and looks like a mixed-race child.
"Where did this ghost come from? And when did you run out? How long has it been standing behind me? Why do ghosts stay motionless? Why is my attack not working? What is this ghost looking at? After asking himself several questions in a row, Chen Ziyang's first thought was that the appearance of this ghost was likely to be related to the diamond.
But why didn't this ghost appear before? Chen Ziyang became interested all of a sudden, it is very likely that the opportunity he has been waiting for and looking for has appeared, and this ghost should have a great relationship with this ancient country.
For a while he was thinking, the ghost remained motionless, staring straight ahead.
It was rare that this ghost did not pose any threat to himself, and did not attack him like those black ghosts in the ancient tomb before, so Chen Ziyang cautiously walked to the side and took out the Xuanming Ancient Sword from his backpack.
Holding the Xuanming Ancient Sword, he slowly walked to the front of the ghost, and after seeing that the ghost was still unresponsive, Chen Ziyang twisted his body, allowing himself to almost coincide with the ghost, and then looked at the place where the ghost had been staring, but there was nothing but yellow sand.
At this time, the ghost suddenly moved, although the range of the ghost's movement was very small, and this movement was also very slow, but it still scared Chen Ziyang. He quickly put the Xuanming Ancient Sword in front of him, took a step back, and looked at the ghost in front of him vigilantly.
The ghost's movements were very strange, it raised its right hand and slowly circled around its chest. Chen Ziyang couldn't understand what this ghost was doing, so he could only keep staring at it.
The ghost kept turning his right hand, and after a while, the ghost slowly raised his right hand to the height of his shoulder, and at the same time bent down slightly, and lowered his head for some distance, the ghost's mouth actually moved, but it was not talking, but as if it was eating.
Combining the ghost's previous movement of turning his right hand with his current action, Chen Ziyang suddenly had a very ridiculous idea, as if this ghost was making porridge for himself.
Just now, the ghost slowly turned his right hand, which should be stirring something like a rice spoon, and then the ghost raised his hand and leaned over, how to look like this ghost served a spoonful of porridge, taste it first, and see if the porridge is cooked.
Chen Ziyang didn't know why he had such a ridiculous idea, but he felt that these movements of the ghost were indeed like that, and before he could figure it out, Chen Ziyang saw another ghost.
A slightly smaller ghost was walking not far behind the ghost in front of him, and Chen Ziyang saw that this ghost was a woman with a very delicate face.
The female ghost's hands were palms upward, flat on her chest, and she looked as if she was holding something forward, but Chen Ziyang saw that there was nothing on the female ghost's hands.
Immediately after, three more ghosts appeared out of thin air, these three ghosts stood in a row, one after the other, walking forward in unison, all three ghosts were men, and at the same time their right hands were clenched into fists and raised at their sides, looking like guards with spears on patrol, but these spears were invisible.
Seeing these strange ghosts appear one after another, Chen Ziyang's eyes widened suddenly, he hurriedly picked up his backpack and sapper shovel from the ground and carried them behind his back, and at the same time ran quickly towards the outside of the palace, wanting to see if all this had anything to do with the diamond.
There is a distance of about a few hundred meters from the place where Chen Ziyang excavated to the place where the diamond is placed, and there are broken walls in between, plus the sky is dark, and the light is very bad, so he can't see the situation at the diamond at all, but the distance of a few hundred meters gives him a lot of shock.
Along the way, Chen Ziyang saw more than a dozen ghosts, all of them had a characteristic, they had nothing in their hands at all, but each ghost was constantly doing some movements, and all the ghosts were ignoring themselves.
Some ghosts stood upright on the side of a certain section of the broken wall, as if they were standing guard there, and some ghosts were bending over and waving their hands constantly, looking like they were wiping the table, and even Chen Ziyang saw several ghosts with female faces dancing, but their dancing posture was slightly clumsy.
The closer he got to the location of the diamond, the more ghosts Chen Ziyang saw, and the faces of these ghosts became clearer and clearer. After a while, Chen Ziyang, who rushed out of the palace area, was suddenly stunned, and the scene in front of him was really shocking.
At this time, the square where the diamond altar was placed was already full of figures, or ghosts, moving around the square, or three or two ghosts strolling around, or the ghosts of several children chasing each other.
Not only were there a large number of ghosts in the palace and square, but even in the areas that were previously designated by Chen Ziyang as civilians, as long as he could see them, there were ghosts active. The diamond placed on the altar was shimmering with a faint black light.
