"Old Gu, from beginning to end, we just wanted to find you as a guide." Ji Wenlin sighed slightly, in fact, it is not difficult to understand why Lao Gu is so resistant, it is probably because he has experienced too many ill-intentioned people earlier, and over time he began to guard against all outsiders.

"Hehe, that's a good thing to say, you guys are looking for me to be a guide, don't you want to fight the idea of the ancient city's underground palace?" Lao Gu looked disdainful.

"Forget it, this matter can't be explained in a sentence or two, you just need to understand that we are different from those people you met before, at least, we don't want money and we won't kill you." Ji Wenlin shook his head, if this matter is explained, it is really not something that can be explained in a short time, not to mention that the other party may not be able to be persuaded immediately.

"Yes, you don't want to kill for money, but you want more, immortality, and yellow bones, I know." Old Gu's tone was still mocking, and it was clear that his emotions had not been eased at this time.

"Wrong, we don't believe in immortality, before we came here, we didn't know what to take the yellow bones, and it has always been the prisoner Ji Yu who pays attention to this, but you can rest assured that he has died in the underground palace." Ji Wenlin smiled, sure enough, this person has a deep misunderstanding of them, but it is normal, if you can find here, I believe that they are all here for immortality, and it is estimated that the purpose of these people is simple, which makes people unbelievable.

"Really?" Lao Gu still couldn't let down his guard, but after hearing the news that the prisoner Ji Yu was dead, there was an undeniable sense of joy in his heart.

"Nature." Ji Wenlin nodded and replied, but he didn't plan to continue to say anything, if it weren't for the fact that he still needed this person to lead the way on the way back, he would have long since ignored whether the other party was alive or dead.

It's not that you can't leave here without a guide, but if you can have a guide who knows the way, their return trip can be greatly shortened, and even avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"By the way, I remember there were seven of you on this team, didn't there? And what about one more person? Lao Gu also knew that he would believe many things if the other party explained them, but the current situation was indeed that he was at a disadvantage, and he immediately stopped dwelling too much, but was curious about where Tang Yulou, who had not appeared, was.

For a moment, the scene was a little quiet, and everyone's expressions were a little gloomy and sad, how could the old man still not be able to see it, and immediately understood what was going on.

"People cannot be resurrected after death, and you who do this should have understood that this kind of thing would happen a long time ago." The truth is actually not good, but Lao Gu still chose to tell the truth.

Tu Hongxing immediately glared at Lao Gu, but he didn't say anything, because he knew that what the other party said was right, every time Tang Yulou went down to visit the tomb, he was ready to go back, and he would leave a suicide note before every action, and this time was no exception.

"Let's go, ignore the old man." Yu Feng stepped forward and grabbed Tu Hongxing's shoulder, he also hated Lao Gu, but what people said was also the truth, but the truth has always been not very good.

In this way, after losing a Tang Yulou, Xia Yanru's team joined the guide Lao Gu halfway, even if this guy was reluctant at all, but in the face of a large number of people and a well-armed team, there was no choice but to lead the way honestly.

As for the traps he designed before, unfortunately, with the assistance of Xia Yanru's plug-in, Xia Yanru accurately commanded the team to avoid the direction of the trap before he could lead people to the trap.

This walk, until noon on the third day, Xia Yanru and his party met Qian Zhan and others who came to the rescue with the team.

"Team Qian, why are you here?" Yu Feng's face was pleasantly surprised.

"We waited for you at the temple for a long time and didn't return, and we originally wanted to escort Professor Hu down the mountain first, but Professor Hu insisted on going to you, so we went to Xiganggou again, and happened to save the villagers in Xiganggou. Qian Zhan quickly explained the experience of these days, fortunately, they were not badly equipped, and they had no disadvantage at all against the team left behind by Ji Yu.

Of course, rescuing the aborigines of Xiganggou is certainly not as simple as Qian Zhan said lightly, but this is not a good time to chat, so you can only choose to make a long story short.

On the other hand, Lao Gu was even more overjoyed when he saw the clansmen who followed Qian Zhan, since these clansmen can move freely, it means that the crisis in the clan must have been resolved, and at this time he couldn't help but start believing that maybe Xia Yanru's group was really different from those people he had met in the past.

"Captain Qian, thank you for saving my people." Lao Gu also learned about the cause and effect from the clansmen at this time, and knew that it was Qian Zhan who saved all the clansmen, so he immediately did not twist, and immediately stepped forward to thank him respectfully.

"Don't be like this, colleagues, protecting the safety of the people is originally the duty of our soldiers." Qian Zhan hurriedly supported Lao Gu, they have the duty to protect the people, even if the main target of this mission is the members of the archaeological team, it does not mean that they can ignore the safety of other ordinary people.

With the episode of Qian Zhan saving people, Lao Gu's attitude was much better, and the two teams set off and returned again after the reunion and reorganization, as for what happened in the ancient city, only Xia Yanru and his party knew, and Lao Gu had a guess at most.

Regarding the matter of the ancient city, Xia Yanru and his entourage will definitely not take the initiative to mention it, and Qian Zhan and they also know that they did not ask much, everything seems to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, no matter what topic they talk about, they will almost be able to avoid the ancient city and Tang Yulou.

The mountain road back was still difficult to walk, but when they successfully returned to Xiganggou, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, Professor Hu and the others who stayed here also showed a long-lost smile after knowing that Xia Yanru and they had come back safely.

But the happy mood did not last long, after learning that Tang Yulou sacrificed, Professor Hu and the others were very unhappy in their hearts, although they did not get along for a long time, but from Yun Province to Black Province, they actually had a very good sense of Tang Yulou.

"Hey, it's a pity for Old Tang." Professor Hu sighed, he actually admired Professor Hu very much in his heart, although he could guess that Tang Yulou's identity was not so positive, but it was undeniable that from the short contact, he knew very well that Tang Yulou was actually very decent.

"Then are we going to continue into the mountain?" Although Qian Zhan also felt sorry for Tang Yulou, he had not forgotten this mission.

"My advice is not to go for the time being, when we come out, it will all collapse, and it is very likely that an unusually small volcanic eruption will erupt, if it is not because the two places are far enough away, I would actually recommend evacuating from here as soon as possible." Ji Wenlin replied in a deep voice.

"This" Professor Hu hesitated, this archaeological operation is very rare, the relevant information is already very rich, of course he privately hopes that the mission can be continued, but Ji Wenlin's words also have to be considered, in case it is really as dangerous as he said, as the team leader, he naturally can't care about the life and death of the team members.
