Chapter 408: A Trip in the Desert

Under the expectant gaze of Yoshioka Xiong and Liu Guanjiao, Chen Ziyang pressed his blood-dripping finger on the blood-colored diamond. The reason why he dared to do this was because Chen Ziyang felt that since this key had completely turned into the color of blood, it meant that the key had been completely opened. So he didn't think there would be another thing like the last time when the key almost sucked himself into a human to do it. And Chen Ziyang also wants to see what kind of surprise this diamond can give him, after all, in his impression, this diamond is really amazing.

At Yoshioka's behest, the short woman standing next to her had already prepared the first-aid equipment, and at the same time she took out a bag of plasma in her hand. If something like the last time really happens, it will be possible to save Chen Ziyang's life in the first place, after all, according to Chen Ziyang's current situation, using blood to stimulate diamonds can only happen once.

In this way, the five people and ten eyes were all staring straight at Chen Ziyang's right thumb and the diamond, and the moment the two touched, the others involuntarily took a deep breath nervously.

"Poof...... Poof......" A strange sound instantly came out at the moment when the thumb of Chen Ziyang's right hand made contact with the diamond, and everyone was stunned, not understanding why the diamond made such a sound. At the same time, a foul smell accompanied by this sound instantly filled the small compartment space.

The stench was so bad that everyone sniffled, especially the female team doctor, who covered her mouth and nose with her hands, held her breath, and showed an expression of disgust with the smell.

Chen Ziyang felt a little strange, this diamond gave people too many surprises. Not only can diamonds project maps on walls, but now they can also make sounds and smells, but I don't know what they mean.

But at this time, Yang Lei's words made other people cry and laugh. "That...... I'm sorry, I've been a little too tired lately, and my stomach is a little bad, but I just farted and made everyone laugh......"

Hearing Yang Lei's words, Chen Ziyang, who was already a little physically exhausted, felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted in the carriage. When is Yang Lei's fart bad, he has to make this play when he is so high-profile and so nervous. Yoshioka Xiong and Instructor Liu were also very angry, just now the two of them were so nervous that their foreheads were oozing sweat, and they were so troubled by Yang Lei that they even forgot to be angry with him.

Yang Lei, who made this big joke, not only did not feel embarrassed, but with a big white face, he looked at everyone arrogantly, which seemed to say, how can a person not fart, do you need such a fuss. And you don't have to fart as loudly as I do.

After shaking his head helplessly, Chen Ziyang continued to stare at the diamond that came into contact with the wound on his thumb. But so much time has passed. This diamond didn't react at all, could it be that its own method was wrong? But I really don't know what to do other than this.

At this time, the careful Chen Ziyang suddenly discovered an abnormal phenomenon. The dust in the carriage was constantly flying, illuminated by the sunlight rays that cast through the cracks in the canvas into the dimly lit carriage. Chen Ziyang found that in the pillar of light closest to the diamond, the dust was flying very strangely, and it looked like it was circling around the diamond.

This discovery made Chen Ziyang's eyes light up, and he suddenly remembered what Lao Lu said before. When the diamond touched the soil in the ground, the soil around the diamond automatically avoided it, creating a deep well in the ground. At this time, the dust flew in a very strange way, although it looked like it was rotating around the diamond, but none of the dust was approaching the diamond, as if they were deliberately avoiding the diamond.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang probably guessed the reason. Then he hurriedly asked Yang Lei to help him and came to the outside of the carriage. After taking a lot of effort to come outside, Chen Ziyang was already sweating profusely, but he couldn't take a rest because of his physical exhaustion, so he casually found a piece of sand and put the diamond on it.

Seeing that there was no reaction after the diamond came into contact with the sand, Chen Ziyang squeezed out a few drops of blood from the wound on his right hand and dripped them on the diamond. At the moment when the blood came into contact with the diamond, a surprising scene occurred.

The five people around the diamond all saw that the moment Chen Ziyang's blood dripped on the diamond, the sand that came into contact with the diamond actually changed color. The color of the sand slowly turned from yellow to black, as if a black shadow had emerged from the diamond.

But after looking at it for a while, they realized that the black thing was not a shadow, but that the sand clinging to the diamond had become damp, and the color of the damp sand gradually deepened, as if water had come out of the diamond and soaked the surrounding sand.

Immediately afterward, some clear water gushed out from underneath where the diamond came into contact with the sand. But the flow of the water is so small that it looks like a child peeing. This amount of water cannot be compared with the scene when Chen Ziyang heard Lao Lu say that a large amount of water gushed out of the deep well formed by the diamond and flooded the tomb, and now Chen Ziyang can't understand whether Lao Lu is exaggerating or the mana of this diamond has been weakened.

But fortunately, there has been a change in this diamond, Chen Ziyang breathed a sigh of relief, it is better to have a change than no change, which proves that he is still somewhat useful. However, it is not known what the outflow of this water has to do with the direction that the water is going to indicate.

The amount of water gushing out from under the diamond is not very large, and the current is not very rapid. However, those who gathered around the diamond found that although there was more than one stream of water gushing out of the diamond, it was all flowing in the same direction. And the water was flowing high at the same time.

The sandy land chosen by Chen Ziyang is not too flat, with one side high and the other side low. And the height difference is very obvious, even by the naked eye, it can be easily distinguished.

Everyone saw that after the water flowed out of thin air from the diamond, it was as if it was being pulled by an invisible force, and it flowed out along the relatively high part of the sandy land.

But no one cares about this at this time. After all, it's not uncommon for water to flow to high altitudes these days. The fact that this diamond was able to conjure water out of thin air after coming into contact with the sand of the desert was enough to surprise everyone.

Taking out the GPS device, Instructor Liu carefully compared the direction of the water flow, and at the same time carefully recorded the direction of the water flow, and then he blurted out: "The clear spring is like water, guiding the way forward, so it is, it turns out that this sentence is actually what it means, I finally understand, finally understand!" ”

However, Instructor Liu, who said this sentence inadvertently, suddenly reacted. He glanced around at a few people around him. Fortunately, Yoshioka didn't know Chinese at all, and he didn't show any disgust at the secrets that Instructor Liu had inadvertently leaked. It is likely that he didn't know what Instructor Liu said at all. And the female team doctor was still expressionless, as if she didn't have any touch on what Instructor Liu said.

Chen Ziyang didn't have any overreactions, because after tossing this big meal, his mood had changed, and at the same time, his physical strength was somewhat to the limit. The injury to his left arm made Chen Ziyang very uncomfortable and painful, and he didn't have the heart to worry about anything else. But Yang Lei, who was idle on the side, kept staring at Instructor Liu and the others with bright eyes.

Seeing Yang Lei's gaze, Instructor Liu glanced at Yang Lei and glared at him viciously. That seems to mean that if Yang Lei dares to divulge the secret of the diamond, then he will definitely cut him.

Under Instructor Liu's vicious gaze, Yang Lei could only cough a few times, turned his head in another direction, and tried his best to look away from Instructor Liu. At the same time, he whistled carelessly, pretending that he hadn't heard what Instructor Liu said.

Although Chen Ziyang closed his eyes on the side to recuperate, as if he hadn't heard Instructor Liu's gaffe just now, Chen Ziyang's heart was turbulent at this time. Instructor Liu and these people really have a deep study of this diamond, and listening to Instructor Liu's meaning, they should have already known what set of formulas there is, and this set of formulas should be the method of manipulating this diamond.

But Chen Ziyang knew that even if he asked Instructor Liu for this mantra, these people would not give it to him. So simply, Chen Ziyang pretended not to hear Instructor Liu's words, but he kept these words in his heart.

At the same time, he carefully calculated in his heart how to find a way to get the mantra to operate this diamond, after all, it was directly related to whether his left arm could return to normal.

After having a specific direction to go, Yoshioka urged the convoy to have breakfast quickly, and then the team drove in the direction of the current.

While the convoy was moving, Chen Ziyang had been thinking carefully about the difference between this diamond under Lao Lu and under his own. Why did the amount of water that flowed out of this diamond decrease after approaching the location of this ancient country, could this diamond be able to sense the location of the ancient country?

Although the water flowing from the diamond pointed the way for the convoy, it did not indicate the specific distance from the ancient country at all, so if you followed this direction, how could you know that you had reached the location of the ancient country's ruins?

It's a desert, a desert in the truest sense of the word, and it's very large. The terrain in the desert is ever-changing, and every time a major wind blows, almost all the sand dunes move and change their appearance. This has both disadvantages and advantages, as it is likely to bring some of the buildings buried under the wind and sand back to light.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang remembered the mantra that Instructor Liu inadvertently said. According to his guess, it is very likely that there are a few sentences at the end of this mantra that are specifically used to point out the location of the ancient ruins.

However, in this boundless desert, there are no references available at all, and all the references are moving, so how can they determine the location of the ancient kingdom?

Just as Chen Ziyang was thinking about this series of things, the convoy actually stopped again. And this time, Yoshioka ordered that all the people rest in place, and the convoy will not continue to move forward for the time being, which greatly surprised Chen Ziyang.

What Yoshioka lacks most now is time, but why would he waste precious time at this time? Moreover, Yang Lei saw from the gap in the canvas that Yoshioka Xiong and Instructor Liu were not busy with other people as usual, but took advantage of the shade in a temporary tent, which looked very comfortable.

After telling Chen Ziyang about this, Chen Ziyang couldn't figure out even more that these two people still had the leisure to chat there at such a pressing moment. But then he felt that something was wrong, Yoshioka Xiong and Instructor Liu should be waiting, as if this ancient country would not appear during the day.

An afternoon's time was wasted by two people in vain. The temperature difference in the desert is very large, and when the sun sets, the temperature drops suddenly. But unlike during the day, at this time, Yoshioka and Instructor Liu were busy.

The two men drove a utility SUV to the height of a sand dune, and then the two men stood on the roof of the car, holding some equipment that seemed to be a sextant and carefully measuring the stars in the sky. Seeing this, Chen Ziyang slapped his head and reacted.

It turned out that these two boys were not wasting time before, they were waiting for it to get dark, and when it got dark, the stars would appear, and in this desert without any light interference, the stars in the sky looked very numerous and very bright.

In the desert where there is no reference, if the position of an object can be determined by something, it can only rely on the stars as a reference, and it seems that the rest of the mantra should be about the method of determining the location of the ancient kingdom through the position of these stars.

This aspect of knowledge is not Chen Ziyang's strong point, and he has no ability to see anything through the stars in the sky, but looking at the two people in the distance pointing at the starry sky with care, Chen Ziyang found that Instructor Liu actually has research on the stars.
