Chapter 37: There Were Pioneers
He Chunhua also added: "I read that the ancient documents mention that the Chipa Plateau is a double stack, that is, two layers of plains overlapped, the second is higher than the first, the second layer of soil where the ancient city of Panlong is located, and the snow melt on the high mountains, the water network is dense, it is a rare plateau water town on the entire Panlong wasteland!" β
Of course, if there is no sufficient water source that lasts all year round, Panlong City will not be able to hold on at all.
"How do I get there now?" Nian Songyu asked the national teacher, "It's getting dark." β
In another two quarters of an hour at most, the sun will sink below the distant mountains. The light in the ancient city is rapidly dimming.
"Build a base camp first and set up a defensive talisman array." Sun Fuping had already planned, "Disband, go and find a suitable position." β
"Disbanded?" He Lingchuan waited for a while, "With such a big ruin, the risk has not been ruled out!" β
"Not necessarily." Sun Fu is in his chest, "At least the periphery of the city is relatively safe." You don't think that we are the first people to enter Panlong City in more than a hundred years, right? β
That's how you think, naΓ―ve? He Lingchuan smiled: "It turns out that there have been pioneers for a long time, but unfortunately they all returned in vain." β
If people find the treasure, why do they still come to Panlong City?
"Not necessarily, they don't necessarily come for the Great Square Pot, and this kind of ruin often attracts treasure hunters. They also record what they see here, which can be used as a reference for us. "Although the alien creatures and three corpse insects in the Panlong Desert are terrifying, to be honest, as long as you do your homework beforehand, they are not unsolvable problems.
Therefore, there have been visitors to the Panlong Ruins, and everyone has come with ghosts.
Just like this team.

More than 200 people searched for a while, and then found an open space to settle down.
This seems to be the market of Panlong City, and there are two whole rows of buildings near the river, all of which are next to each other, and the highest is only two floors.
Of course, most of the houses had their facades destroyed, and at least a third of them had apparently been fired, but a few still had plaques, the most complete of which had been blurred.
The font was a little different from today, and it took He Lingchuan a little effort to barely recognize the two words: "Frost...... Wine"
Probably a restaurant.
The houses are low, low, and all next to each other, making them ideal for makeshift camps. The team was stationed, Sun Fuping ordered to rest in place for two hours, and Zeng Feixiong hurried to allocate the house. Several leaders took up the restaurant with the best view and the most wind-blocking restaurant, and began to think about it in the long run.
After two days of traveling, everyone has time to wash their faces and refresh themselves.
In the heart of the desert, where every drop of water is precious, this is the privilege of leadership. He Lingchuan lifted the water bladder and poured a few mouthfuls of it, pouring the rest on his face: "Ghost place, die of heat during the day, freeze to death at night!" β
The typical climate in the desert area is that the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and in places with more than 40 degrees Celsius at noon, frost will form at night. The sun has set, the temperature has plunged directly, and it is not enough for everyone to put on cotton jackets, and they have to dismantle wood pieces everywhere to burn the fire and keep out the cold.
His head shaking was like a dog throwing water, Nian Songyu frowned to avoid the splashing water droplets and said:
"Time is precious, and you can't waste it at night. But the ruins are so big that even if they break up, it will take at least a few days to search. What is the way for the national teacher? β
They are not here for an outing, and the water that the team brings is limited, so it is best to use every minute.
After dusting off the yellow sand and tidying up his appearance, Sun Fuping regained his bearing as a national teacher, and then he talked eloquently.
"This kind of thing has already been done by the Baling Immortal Alliance back then, as well as the treasure hunters later, and we can't do it better than them. Therefore, these buildings and houses in the city rarely have search value. β
In the past, after Panlong City was breached, it was slaughtered, people and animals were killed, and property was looted. It took more than 30 years for the enemy country to bring it down, and it had long been hated to the core, and if it was not indulged in plundering a few times, it would not be able to get out of this evil breath.
What's more, they have enough time, and they should have even searched the land, but the Dafang pot has still not been found, so from the mansion to the private house, it is not its hiding place.
After hearing this, He Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." "Otherwise, they have too few people, Panlong City is too big, and it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find it." In other words, the national teacher already knows where the pot is? β
The predecessors have all returned, if Sun Fuping is not completely sure, how can he come all the way here to eat sand?
"I don't know exactly where it is, but I can narrow it down." Sun Fuping pondered and said, "I have visited Patriarch Zhu Gen of Baling Kingdom, and he has visited Panlong City four times, the earliest time was sixty years ago, and the latest was forty years ago. It can be said that he may be the most thorough force to search the ruins of Panlong since the coalition forces. β
"Forces?" He Chunhua grasped the key word.
"It seems to me that the Baling Kingdom has always had some doubts about the Panlong Ruins. Patriarch Zhu Gen himself is also very fascinated by it, the last time he came here to investigate is seventy-five years old, the longest stay time, before and after fifteen days, brought the most people, it is said that more than a thousand. β
The more people there are, the longer they stay, and the more carefully they search for Panlong City. It's just that it's hard for them to ensure logistical supplies.
Sure enough, this kind of large-scale excavation requires the support of the government and the military.
Everyone also understood that the coalition forces and Zhu Gen Patriarch had already done their homework for them and cleared the mines, and there was no need for a carpet search.
"Nearly 1,000 people are in good shape, and they haven't encountered any accidents?" He Lingchuan interjected, "This in itself is very abnormal. β
He Chunhua said suddenly: "It's already dark, and I haven't seen the three corpse insects yet." β
Now he can still see the three fires on the people of others, obviously the effect of Du Soul Scatter has not passed, this state is similar to the commonly known "Open Heavenly Eye", and the three corpse insects can also be seen.
But from the time he got on the bridge to the time he entered the city, he didn't even find a single three-corpse worm.
That's weird in itself, right?
"Yes, not only are there no three corpse insects in the city, but there are no other evil cults. This is the consensus of the previous treasure hunters, so as long as we don't make any big noises here, most of the time it is safe. Sun Fuping took out a marching naan cake and roasted it against the fire.
The marching naan cake is made of dead noodles, with a large plate on a human face, and it makes a "ping-pong" sound when it falls to the ground, but it is solid. Its only advantage is that it is not easy to spoil when it is full, even if it is baked soft, He Lingchuan feels that this naan cake is rough and astringent, and he scrapes his throat when swallowed hard. He could only soak in hot water to eat, but Sun Fuping broke it into small pieces and chewed it so that his face did not change color.
He is a down-to-earth teacher, with fine clothes and jade food, and coarse tea naan cakes.
"A lot of the information I've collected is self-congratulating. After studying it for half his life, he said to me that the Dafang pot had never been found, and it was probably the wrong time for everyone to go. β
