Chapter 17: Sudden Change
"Back then, Partridge Whistle invited Elder Chen out of the mountain, but it took a lot of hard work, and now we just ask for some gold and silver vulgar things, is it too much?"
Listening to Su Mo's words. Sydney Yang's face changed again and again, "You... Do you know who I am? β
"Of course!"
Su Mo shrugged his shoulders and didn't hide it, "Back then, Partridge Whistle was disheartened and crossed the ocean to the United States, and you are from the United States, but you are going to the Ancient City, so your identity is not difficult to guess..."
"Heh..."
Sydney Yang exhaled, "300,000 US dollars per person, I promise you, this is what the family owes you!" β
Decades ago, his grandfather asked for help from Elder Chen, who touched the line of Captain Jin.
Today, I have to ask for help from the heirs of the golden lineage!
Fate really played a big joke on itself!
Looking at Su Mo and the three of them, Sydney Yang's face was a little complicated.
"Master Hu..."
The fat man muttered, "What did Brother Su say to this girl?" I don't understand..."
Lao Hu sighed, "An old account, don't mention it!" β
Sydney Yang said, "I can promise you 300,000 US dollars, but I can only pay each of you 100,000 yuan first, and after the deed is completed, I can give you the rest of the money..."
"Good!"
Su Mo bowed slightly, and he could be regarded as approving Shirley Yang's plan.
"Su Ye is amazing..."
The fat man's face was ecstatic, and he whispered, "Empty gloves white wolf, let's each have 100,000 yuan, a total of 300,000 US dollars!" β
"Lao Hu, wouldn't it be cooler for us to slip away directly with $300,000..."
ββ¦β¦β
Lao Hu looked at the fat man with disgust and sighed that his brain circuit was surprising.
Su Mo stood up and said with a smile, "Miss Yang, don't worry, I promise to bring you to the Exquisite Ancient City!" β
γDing! γ
At the same moment, the sound of the system sounded, [The host has successfully become a member of the archaeological team, and the reward is Draped Fist!] γ
A large number of boxing memories began to pour into his heart, Su Mo was secretly happy, 300,000 US dollars, plus a set of draped boxing, this wave of operations made a lot of money.
"When are we heading to the Exquisite Ancient City?"
"In a few days!"
Sydney Yang was a defeat in the confrontation with Su Mo, and at this moment she had no fighting spirit, and after speaking, she returned to her room dejectedly.
......
A few days later...
Go on the green train to XJ.
Su Mo and Lao Hu were lying on the sleeping bunk and falling asleep, preparing for the next exquisite ancient city.
"Huh!"
The door was opened, and Professor Chen woke up Su Mo and the others, "A few little comrades, something happened temporarily, let's get off at the next station and divert to Kunlun Glacier..."
"What..."
Lao Hu exclaimed, "You want to go to Kunlun Glacier?" Why didn't you inform us before you left..."
Professor Chen was also taken aback by Hu Bayi's reaction and explained, "Something happened to the itinerary, and there are clues left by Sydney Yang's father in the Kunlun Glacier..."
"Clues? Just a clue? β
Lao Hu glared, grabbed Professor Chen's collar and asked, "Do you know what Kunlun Glacier is?" Do you know that people are going to die..."
Su Mo frowned and said in a deep voice, "Old Hu calm down!" β
Hearing Su Mo's words, Hu Bayi let go of Professor Chen, but the anger in his chest was already out of control.
"Ahh
Lao Hu punched the train car.
"Mr. Hu, why are you so resistant to the Kunlun Glacier..."
Sydney Yang also walked over, looking at the angry Hu Bayi, she opened her mouth and asked, "Do you know anything?" β
The fat man also said, "Old Hu, tell me what you know, maybe you know the reason, and these people won't go to Kunlun Glacier!" β
"Okay!"
Lao Hu briefly adjusted his mood, "When I was a soldier, I was stationed in Kunlun Glacier..."
"It's covered with ice and snow all year round, and it's very secretive!"
Lao Hu seemed to fall into some kind of memory, and explained what happened back then with a solemn face.
"Bugs with blue light? Burn at the touch of a button? β
Hearing what happened to Lao Hu, Shirley Yang's brows furrowed into the word "Chuan", "Look at if it's such a bug..."
As he spoke, Shirley Yang took out a magazine from her arms and handed it to Hu Bayi.
Looking at the pictures in the magazine, Lao Hu's expression changed, "It's it, it's it, I can't forget it for the rest of my life..."
"A bug with a blue light all over its body, the size of a thumb, but it only kills for a moment..."
Lao Hu seemed to see an evil ghost, and his expression became very frightened.
Sydney Yang raised her eyebrows and muttered softly, "It turns out that this insect really exists..."
Hearing this, everyone looked at her suspiciously.
Sydney Yang stroked the hair around her ears and said, "This bug is called "TheBeatieonFire", also known as "Fire Ladybug"..."
"At the moment it can only be found in the records of archaeologists and explorers around the world, and for many people it is just a legend!"
Su Mo shook his head, "Actually, this is not called a fire ladybug, nor is it a legend, in our country, it is called "rotting firefly"!" β
ββ¦β¦β¦β
The crowd was shocked again.
Shirley Yang looked directly at Su Mo and said in a deep voice, "You've seen this thing too?" β
Su Mo shook his head again, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I've heard a few friends in the Tao mention it..."
Su Mo took the newspaper from Lao Hu's hand, pointed to the picture on it, and said, "The reason why this thing is called rotten fireflies is because this kind of insect only lives in places full of corpses, I don't know if you have ever heard of rotten grass as fireflies?" β
ββ¦β¦β¦β
Shirley Yang, Lao Hu, and the fat man looked confused.
Professor Chen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke at this time, "I know..."
Everyone looked at Professor Chen, hoping that he could give everyone a reasonable explanation.
Professor Chen pushed the glasses on the wing of his nose and began to solve everyone's doubts, "Brother Su just mentioned that "rotten grass is firefly", referring to the traditional saying that rotten grass can turn into fireflies..."
"The fire ladybug you mentioned just now is the image of the rotting firefly absorbing the phosphorus element in the corpse, but this creature is rare in history!"
Rotting fireflies?
This thing actually exists!
Everyone glanced at each other and muttered in their hearts.
"That's not right..."
Sydney Yang seemed to remember something again, and immediately said, "Just now you also said that rotting fireflies only live in places full of corpses, so there are a large number of rotting fireflies in Kunlun Glacier, what is going on?" β
"Heh..."
Su Mo smiled ghostly. "Maybe there is a mass grave under the Kunlun Glacier!"
ββ¦β¦β
The crowd gasped.
