Chapter 7: Escape from the Valley

Surrounded by old vines and ancient trees, waterfalls fall from the towering cliffs and splash several meters high.

"How long do we have to get to the original location of the tomb, why don't we go into the water and relax first"

Chen Xiaofeng jumped into the water shirtless, and the water was not very deep.

"Everyone rest in place, pay attention to vigilance" Lao Zhang's face changed slightly, but he did not relax in the slightest in the face of the scenery in front of him, and he should not relax in the primeval forest, and he yelled at a few bodyguards without a few glances at Xue Xiaofeng.

The veteran looked happily at the water, and at some point a wooden spear appeared in his hand, and with a "whoosh", a silver carp the size of a palm was brought out of the water by the spear.

"There's fish in here, bake and eat it" The veteran took the silver carp from his spear and threw it on the shore, and the bodyguards picked up the fish on the ground, and immediately lit a fire and began to roast it, and after a while, the ground was full of fish.

I didn't have much appetite when I ate dry food in the morning, but I didn't eat enough. Facing the grilled fish, he couldn't help drooling, and the veteran took advantage of the gap where everyone ate fish and hunted a rabbit from somewhere.

"Cross this cliff and go up to your destination"

After eating and drinking, Lao Zhang made a plan, and the veteran skillfully took out a set of special iron hooks from his backpack, on which was tied a long enough nylon rope, and put it on his body one by one.

"You guys wait down there, I'll explore the way"

As he spoke, the veteran climbed up from the side of the waterfall!

Chen Xiaofeng stood below, smiled slightly, and said, "Not bad!" reaffirmed that Lao Zhang's decision to invite the veterans was the right choice, looking at the bodyguards around, no matter how you look at it, you feel that this group of bodyguards is almost as skilled as herself, it seems that it is useless, why is Lao Zhang still hired.

Stepping over the weeds near the rocky ground, the veteran clasped his hand in the crevice of the rocks, then raised his head to observe the surrounding terrain, and climbed up until the summit, the veteran found an ancient tree on a cliff, tied a knot around the trunk, and quickly threw the rope from the top.

"Go up one by one," Lao Zhang said, quickly climbed up from the rope, took out the second rope, and threw it down again.

Chen Xiaofeng pulled the rope and quickly reached the top of the cliff.

A rare grassland, above the waterfall is a clear river, and the banks are paved with jagged boulders and sparse trees.

"After this grassland, it's almost there"

Lao Zhang Qiang opened his eyes, and the falling sunset came into view, and he couldn't help but block the dazzling light with his hand.

"It looks like the sun is going to set, so I'm going to push down the river into the mountains."

The sky darkened, the trees in front of him began to grow thicker, and only a bright spot could be seen in the distant sunset.

In the dark night, everyone walked persistently, and the four people held a strong light in their hands, which could not only be used for lighting, but also disperse some of the photophobic mosquitoes.

Big trees, ancient trees gradually more, it is easy to get lost in the mountains at night, Lao Zhang took out the satellite locator, marked the direction of the cemetery ruins and his location, and it didn't take long to arrive at the cemetery.

In order to protect the original resources unique to the local area, the government has established a huge protection set around the cemetery on the basis of the original cemetery, so as to form cultural relics protection on the spot.

After Lao Zhang took out the key card for scanning, the iron door opened quickly.

"Just keep watch outside"

Chen Xiaofeng looked at Lao Zhang and muttered in his heart, I don't want others to know the purpose of this trip.

In the burial chamber, there are porcelain clay pots, and each artifact is protected by a tempered glass cover, and a password is required to open it. Chen Xiaofeng didn't bother to pay attention to these things, because those passwords had all been seen, and the only thing he was interested in was the coffin.

Placed in the innermost, Chen Xiaofeng and Lao Zhang, who were the editors and staff, both knew the password, opened the strengthened glass box, put on protective masks and gloves, and groped for the two-meter-long huge coffin.

"I remember that there was no one in this ancient coffin at that time, according to ancient sayings, my body was not found, it was really an 'empty tomb', do you say that the owner of this tomb was stolen by that group of thieves" Chen Xiaofeng and Lao Zhang worked together to open the lid of the coffin.

"The hard lining, there is no sign of decay, the bottom of the empty coffin is black and full, as if petrified, it is also recorded in ancient books, just like the coal and stone now, which are the result of the primeval forest and the long-term burial of animal carcasses underneath"

Lao Zhang shook his head, and then looked at the black stone in his hand, he had no clue at all.

"Hey, there you have it, why don't you put this black stone in its original position on the coffin and see what the reaction is?" Chen Xiaofeng rolled his eyes and picked up the black stone and was about to put it in.

"Slow, don't break it, this coffin, this is a cultural relic, it is of great help to study people and history" Lao Zhang took away the black stone.

"Don't worry, it won't damage your precious coffin, how can it be broken if it's so hard" Chen Xiaofeng said and lifted the stone close to the coffin, "Lao Zhang, look, is there any reaction?"

Heishi approached his original position but did not react, Lao Zhang shook his head, and Chen Xiaofeng glanced at it.

"No, how is it possible, Lao Tzu's hands have turned black, I don't believe it" In front of Lao Zhang, Chen Xiaofeng wanted to scold the street, the black stone of the evil gate, Lao Tzu's fire and water have not changed, it is really inviolable.

"Bang"

There was a muffled sound, and in the darkness, streamers crossed in the distance, and I saw the veteran rushing in quickly from the door.

"What's going on?" Lao Zhang and Chen Xiaofeng glanced at each other, put away the black stone in their hands, took care of the coffin, and sealed the tempered glass.

"Someone may have been attacked outside"

"Okay, will you go out first?"

"It's so late, someone is near us, whether it's attacked or not, I think we might be being followed," the veteran hesitated for a moment and said to the two of them.

"So what do we do now?"

"I think we'd better get out of the way, it's important to protect this tomb and make a decision later," the veteran said.

Lao Zhang and Chen Xiaofeng quickly closed the large exit of the tomb chamber and quickly ran in the direction of the streamer.

"Wait a minute, settle down, everyone look at my gestures," said the veteran

"What's wrong?" asked Chen Xiaofeng

"You listen"

Chen Xiaofeng watched the streamer looming, moving quickly in his direction, and there was a faint sense of vibration around him, which was difficult to find without listening carefully.

"Could it be" Chen Xiaofeng secretly speculated, "Everyone will run quickly, there is danger here"

The group ran back quickly, and before they could retreat, a black shadow flashed, and a bodyguard behind Chen Xiaofeng screamed, and the surrounding leaves began to stir sharply.

"Veteran, what's going on, what did we encounter" Chen Xiaofeng scurried back and asked the veteran in front of him at the same time, before he could see that the enemy was attacked, Chen Xiaofeng asked nervously.

"I don't know, it seems that the group of guys in the back are in a hurry to provoke these black things" The old soldier gasped and ran quickly, raising the laser gun in his hand and shooting at the black shadow.

Huge lights continued to shoot out behind him, and the black shadow quickly dodged.

Looking back, there was a group of people dressed in black behind them, about 4 or 5 of them, one by one black shadows flashed, raised the laser gun in their hands and swept it quickly.

Looking behind him again, a black shadow was beating rapidly under the illumination of the laser.

"What should we do? There are too many of these shadows, we're going to be finished if we go on like this," only to hear the black men behind them shout at their companions.

"Brother in the back, there is a cave in front, there is only one cave entrance, the entrance is small, as long as we concentrate our firepower to stop these black shadows, I believe it will not be so passive" Lao Zhang panted and ran forward, holding the set of positioning devices in his hand, and explored the geographical shape.

The people in the back seemed to agree, and did not respond much, but used a laser to sweep the black shadow in front of them and break through to the front.

But I didn't think that the other party's firepower was concentrated, and now there were only three people left in front, veterans, Chen Xiaofeng and Lao Zhang, and the rest were all drowned by these strange shadows, Chen Xiaofeng's left shoulder was grabbed by a black shadow, a burst of stinging, these little monkey-like things with sharp teeth and claws, the speed was very fast, Chen Xiaofeng activated the laser gun and aimed at the arm and shot at the face, and black blood bloomed on his face.

In the dark night, the valley looked strange and rocky, and thousands of stones of different sizes stood in front of him, Chen Xiaofeng couldn't dodge, and flashed a stone pier sideways.

"It's so dangerous, the people behind hurry up and keep up, the road ahead is about to be blocked"

Chen Xiaofeng roared, and behind him, a black-clothed man flashed, quickly raised the gun in his hand and swept over, and with a big stride, he rushed forward and came to Chen Xiaofeng's side.

"Boss, we're going to be behind," a dark shadow in the back said to the man in the black mask.

"Well, I know, but don't forget, who are we, we can't reveal our whereabouts at this time" The man in black who took the lead whispered to his teammates behind him.

A group of black shadows rushed to the face, through the stone forest, a small river around the mountain, the river passed through the ground, and the rock on the opposite bank had a huge stone slab that seemed to collapse, slanting above the small river.

"Let's jump over, veteran, you have a rope ready for the people behind to pass through," Lao Zhang said, raising the gun in his hand and sweeping it behind him.

"No, we passed, the monsters behind can also pass, just such a little span, you can jump over, let's find the entrance to the cave" The veteran came out of the army and shouted, it was really earth-shattering.

"Follow me," said the man in black beside Chen Xiaofeng, crossing the rocks across the river and reaching the opposite bank.

The water on the opposite bank is turbulent and the water is relatively fast, and if you want to enter the cave, you must pass through a steep rock wall close to the river.

"You go forward first, I'll break the back," the man in black in the lead said to the person behind him, raising the laser gun in his hand, and the black shadows fell, and the black monsters stopped on the rocks across the river, and slowly the black shadows gathered together.

The black-clothed man in front grabbed Chen Xiaofeng behind him and pushed him into the cave, the entrance was a steep rock wall, the rock wall was wet and smooth, and the bottom was a flat rock wall, but the entrance could only accommodate one person.

"Hurry, hurry up," Lao Zhang pulled the veteran behind him, and the two men in black, shouted to the people behind him.

I saw the leader of the broken man, the man in black, quickly turned the laser gun in his hand, and the monster that pounced was knocked to the ground, but as a large number of monsters gathered, several monsters quickly jumped over the rocks and chased them to the front.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black quickly turned around and rushed towards the mouth of the cave, and the pitch black spread rapidly, and some even fell on the shoulders of the man in black.

Bared his teeth and bit at the shoulder of the man in black.
