Chapter 567: Danger often comes with harvest

Zhu Yu walked out of the ruins of the city, and there were also two huge statues at the gate here. Probably because the upper body of this statue has completely disappeared at the upwind port, only the human form of the lower body remains, and it is impossible to see whose god it is.

However, on both sides of the other gate, Anubis can be regarded as a watchman, and the two statues here are certainly not simple.

This is what Zhu Yu thought.

After turning a corner, Zhu Yu found that not far from this gate, there was a considerable area without sand. In this land, there are large and small caves, Zhu Yu opened the eyes of the sky from afar and looked over, and found that there were scorpions in it!

Both black and yellow, these scorpions seem to be sleeping, one by one motionless.

Zhu Yu thought about it, picked up a stone, and threw it at the area.

The moment the stone hit the ground, all those scorpions moved at once, and then quickly rushed out and surrounded the stone!

Zhu Yu immediately turned around and ran away.

This can't be messed with, can't be messed with!

These scorpions, the big ones with the big palms and the small ones the size of the fingernails, don't fight each other, they are the same.

If people are surrounded by it, it is really difficult to get out.

With the joy of returning with a full load, Zhu Yu walked through the quicksand belt and walked back to the car.

The sun had reached noon, and Ran Jie and the others had already gotten up.

Seeing Zhu Yu coming back, Ran Jie stepped forward and asked:

"Boss, are you alright? How's that over there? I see that it is surrounded by sand, like the outline of a city! ”

"It's a city ruin, indeed." Zhu Yu took the kettle handed over by Qin Fei and took a sip and said, "I can roughly determine that that there is the destination that Crown Prince Abdullah pointed out to us. ”

"Really?" Cao Dalong came up and asked with shiny eyes, "Is there something in there?" ”

"Yes." Zhu Yu nodded affirmatively, "This ancient city should have been destroyed by a strong sandstorm. None of the people inside escaped, so there was a lot to dig into.

I just went in and took a look, and found a place similar to the ancient money bank, or the city's silver vault, there should be a lot of good things in it! ”

"That's a good idea!" Cao Dalong became even more excited, "I finally don't need to run around in this sand anymore!" ”

"When the sun goes down a little bit and it's not so hot, we'll go." Zhu Yu put down the kettle and said, "But there are some evil sects here.

Some adventurers have visited, but they can't get out and become dried corpses. There were also many dangerous places on the outskirts of the city, and I saw quicksand, and swarms of scorpions. ”

"Huhβ€”β€”!" When Ran Jie heard the scorpion group, he said in disgust, "Then we have to stay away." By the way, you'll have to bring the insecticide for a while! ”

Three hours later, when the sun was setting in the west, Zhu Yu and each of them packed their backpacks and drove towards the ruins of the city.

According to Zhu Yu's instructions, they bypassed the quicksand and walked through Zhu Yu's most advanced gate.

He didn't want to lead everyone through the scorpions, in case he summoned the swarm of scorpions, he didn't need to look for any treasure, so he ran for his life.

"What a strange statue!" Cao Dalong looked at the statue of Anubis and sighed.

"This is the Grim Reaper of Ancient Egypt." Qin Fei knew a little more and told him.

"Leave the Grim Reaper at the gate? What an evil door! ”

"Let's go." Zhu Yu walked inside with his bag, "We still have a lot of work to do." ”

This time he was in front, not towards the main road, but diagonally through the remaining buildings, intending to go directly to the bank.

After walking two or three hundred meters, Cao Dalong's surprised voice came from behind:

"Hey, there's something good!"

Several people stopped, and Zhu Yu turned around to see Cao Dalong bending down to pick up a dagger with a delicate golden grip.

"You're in luck!" Ran Jie said with a smile.

"That's it!" Cao Dalong wiped the dagger, saw that it was still inlaid with gems, and knew that the value was not low, so he walked over and handed it to Zhu Yu.

"Boss, here you go!"

"No, I don't. Whoever picks it up goes to whom. Zhu Yu waved his hand, "There should be a lot of similar things in this city." This is an ordinary family, there are such things, think about what those rich and noble families will be like...... We're going to have to work here for a few days! ”

"I like to do this kind of work!" Cao Dalong put away the dagger and said with a smile.

The four of them came to the place where Zhu Yu used it as a money village.

There are already preliminary traces of excavations here.

"Look here." Zhu Yu took out the folding sapper shovel, dug a few more times on the edge of the half-dug broken wall, and then took out a black wooden box.

I don't know what kind of wood it is, it's been buried in this sand for so many years, and the wood is almost rotten.

Zhu Yu shoveled the sapper shovel twice, and the box cracked open at once, and then like flowing water, a lot of silver coins flowed out of it!

These silver coins have been oxidized and blackened, but the four people on the scene are all veterans, and it can be seen at a glance that these silver coins are in good condition.

Unlike the gold coins Zhu Yu had obtained before, these silver coins even had avatars on them.

It looks rough, but at least there is!

"Boss, that's amazing!" Cao Dalong sighed, "I'm afraid there won't be five or six hundred pieces in this box?" ”

"There should be quite a few more down there." Zhu Yu said, "However, the amount of work is larger, and we need to clean it up carefully." ”

"If you have money to make, are you afraid to work?" Ran Jie smiled, "Come, brothers, let's get started!" ”

The four of them divided the corners and began to clean up the contents.

Soon, Zhu Yu cleared out another box of silver coins over there.

But that's all he has underneath these two boxes of silver coins.

Now Zhu Yu is also one of the veterans. Such a silver coin is worth about eighty to one hundred dollars in the silver coin market.

These two boxes of silver coins are about 100,000 dollars.

With Zhu Yu's current net worth, this is equivalent to an appetizer.

Putting away the two boxes of silver coins and putting them in the bag he was carrying, Zhu Yu began to clean up the sand around him again.

The four of them were very energetic, and it took almost an hour to clear all the sand from this large room.

"All in all, a hundred and twenty-seven gold coins, a thousand and fifty-one silver coins, twenty-one gold bars, seventy-five pieces of silver, and thirty-one objects of gold.

Based on the similar things we have found before, and the corresponding items on the market today, these things are worth about two million dollars. ”

This was calculated by Qin Fei.

"Not bad! On this day, we will be worthy of a multi-millionaire! Cao Dalong smirked.

"There are two small rooms in this building, let's clean them out and have a look." Two million dollars is no longer a very big temptation for Ran Jie and Qin Fei.

But the feeling of this kind of labor is still very good, so he thinks he should come more while the sky is still light.

To Ran Jie's disappointment, after the small rooms on both sides were cleared, they didn't find much.

"It's a little strange, there are so many things in that outer room, and there are only a few commonly used utensils in these two small rooms." Cao Dalong waved the sapper shovel in his hand, nodded to the ground and said:

"Could it be that there is a secret room underground?"

"Quite possibly." Zhu Yu: "Nodding and saying, it is very likely that there is a secret room underneath this." ”

"So what are you waiting for? Find it! Cao Dalong immediately took the sapper shovel and began to pry the slate.

It's just that I don't know what this slate is glued together, it's very strong, and even if you use a sharp sapper shovel, you can't find a gap.

Ran Jie and Qin Fei took the sapper shovels and began to knock on the stone slabs one by one.

Finally they heard a cavity under a stone slab near the wall.

"This is it!" Ran Jie said firmly, "If you can't pry it open, smash it!" ”

"There really is!" After smashing open the two stone slabs with Ran Jie, Cao Dalong immediately saw the hole under the stone slabs.

"Let's go, go down and have a look!" At this time, Cao Dalong is really bold, "There are definitely good things down here!" ”

"Stop!" Zhu Yu suddenly waved his hand and asked with a solemn face:

"Did you hear anything?"

"Movement?" Cao Dalong stopped and listened carefully, "No! ”

Ran Jie and Qin Fei also listened to it, and both shook their heads.

When Zhu Yu listened again, he found that the subtle movement he had heard just now had disappeared.

He looked down into the cave and found that it was really just a simple secret room. Although there are a few major locks, there is no danger in reality.

That's a lot of stuff.

Did you hear it wrong?

He nodded and said:

"Maybe I misheard. Let's go down, let's get it as soon as possible. ”

"Boss, you don't want to go?" Qin Fei walked down a few steps and asked.

"I won't go down, I always feel a little dangerous." Zhu Yu shook his head, "You guys should go down quickly, there is a bit of an evil sect here." ”

"Okay." Ran Jie was the last to walk down and said, "We will come up as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Yu saw that they went down and began to break the locks of the secret room below, so he simply ran to the top of the half-section of the wall and looked around.

However, no danger was seen.

So, what about your own intuition?

Zhu Yu jumped down and looked at the city gate again, and found that the scorpion over there didn't seem to be any movement.

It must be an illusion, right?

Ten minutes later, Cao Dalong came out with a heavy box, he put the box at Zhu Yu's feet, and said excitedly:

"Boss, it's gone! Below a dozen boxes of gold and silver coins! ”

"That's really a hair! Hurry up and move! Zhu Yu said with a smile, "This time, let's be here!" ”

Next, Ran Jie and Qin Fei both walked up carrying boxes.

Just when they moved twice, those weird voices suddenly sounded in Zhu Yu's ears again, and the sound was much louder!

Zhu Yu immediately jumped on the half-section of the wall again and looked around.

Seeing it like this, Zhu Yu was shocked, and he immediately shouted:

"Hurry up! There is danger! Hurry up! ”

Ran Jie, who had just come up, immediately asked:

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Snakes! Beetle! And scorpions! Countless of them are all around! ”

Ran Jie jumped on the half-section of the wall and looked over, and was also shocked!

From the south, west, and north gates of the city, a large number of black crows and crows poured in, and if you look closely, they are all poisonous insects and poisonous snakes!

These things were so fast and numerous that they spread like a Kuroshio Current, and soon covered most of the ruins of the entire city!

"Let's go! Come on! Zhu Yu jumped down, carried a box and ran out!

Although Qin Fei and Cao Dalong, who didn't know why, didn't know what the situation was, they knew that it would definitely not be a simple situation that could make Zhu Yu and Ran Jie shocked, and the two of them each held a box and ran along!

The four of them are fast, but so are those poisonous insects and poisonous snakes!

A few of the snakes felt like they had wings, and they swept across the sand and then scurried, which really answered the phrase "they are as fast as the wind"!

"You go first, I'll burn them!"

Zhu Yu saw that this was not going to work, so he immediately threw down the box, took out the gasoline bottle that had been prepared long ago from his backpack (in fact, it was in the space), and then sprinkled it on the back road!

Several flying snakes had already begun to approach, and Zhu Yu lit a cigarette and threw it down!

"Teng!"

A circle of open flames burned directly, and those flying snakes rushed into the fire, landed directly, and convulsed!

Ran Jie and the others also stopped, took out the insecticide and sprayed it on the poisonous insects nearby!

"You guys get out of here!" Zhu Yu shouted, "You guys are not as fast as me, don't let you surround at this time, otherwise we will all be finished!" ”

"Good!" Ran Jie also made a quick decision, threw the insecticide bottle into the insect pile, then shot it, and then ran out of the city!

Qin Fei and Cao Dalong did the same, and they all threw down the box and ran.

They really knew that Zhu Yu would run faster than themβ€”after all, Zhu Yu absorbed the most of that kind of energy.

And Zhu Yu also felt that these poisonous insects and poisonous snakes themselves were more interested in themselves, but they were not very interested in Ran Jie who ran away.

Qin Fei and the others ran past the sand-covered city wall, and Zhu Yu put his mind at ease, took out the flamethrower directly from his backpack, turned on the switch as he stepped back, and sprayed at those poisonous snakes and poisonous insects!

The sudden flames burned countless poisonous insects and poisonous snakes to ashes!

However, these things still keep coming up, as if they are endless!

Zhu Yu knew that he couldn't finish burning it for the time being, so he had to burn it a few more times, so he took the opportunity that the poisonous snakes and poisonous insects couldn't get close, put away the two boxes, and quickly ran to the city wall with the two boxes.

These poisonous insects and poisonous snakes were not afraid of death, and some even broke through the residual power of the flames and rushed towards him!

It's crazy!

"Boss, get in the car!"

At this time, with the roar of the car engine, Ran Jie and the others drove an off-road vehicle to pick up Zhu Yu!

The off-road vehicle made a big turn in front of Zhu Yu and stopped, the door was open, Zhu Yu ran up with a short body, and before the door was closed, the car had already flicked its tail and drove into the distance, throwing off the sand of the poisonous snakes that came down from the city wall!

At this time, Zhu Yu had time to close the door.

"Damn, that's crazy!" Cao Dalong's heart palpitated, "A scorpion with a big fist!" If you really want to sting, I'm afraid it's useless to call the old hen! ”

"I heard that scorpions sting are particularly painful!" Qin Fei nodded.

"It's true." Ran Jie corroborated while driving, "I was stung by a yellow scorpion in the desert during the exercise in southern Xinjiang, it hurts!" Although I ate the scorpion, the pain really made me uncomfortable for days! ”

"Team Ran, hurry up! It's time to catch up! Damn, the snake can fly! Cao Dalong suddenly said nervously, "Quick! ”

Ran Jie was startled, stepped on the accelerator to the end, and the wheels rolled up a large piece of sand and hit the flying snake that was rushing behind, and the off-road vehicle also took advantage of this momentum to drive forward quickly, and soon disappeared in the wind and sand.

Those flying snakes didn't stop attacking until they reached the dirt bag where Zhu Yu and they had been resting before.

A two-meter-long flying snake swam onto the dirt bag, stood tall with its upper half, looked at the car that was gradually disappearing in the distance, its vertical pupils flashed, and then swam down the dirt bag and swam back.

The snakes and insects all dodged away, and the long snake with small horns on its head and wings under its neck quickly swam back to the pyramid in the northeast corner of the ancient city.

At this time, a large hole was revealed under the base of the pyramid, and the winged snake swam into this big hole, and the other snakes quickly followed.

Some snakes come back halfway with beetles or scorpions in their mouths.

Obviously, they are also meant to eat.

The off-road vehicle ran out for more than ten kilometers before stopping.

"Okay, I didn't catch up." Looking at the shadow of no more poisonous insects behind him, Cao Dalong breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm not tired, but I'm really nervous.

Even Zhu Yu saw this overwhelming poisonous snake and poisonous insect for the first time.

The last time I saw so many scorpions with Alia in that small ruin, those scorpions didn't mean to attack.

These can be different!

The four of them got out of the car and looked back.

"Where did so many poisonous snakes and poisonous insects come from!" Cao Dalong was a little strange, "What do they eat alive?" ”

Zhu Yu said suddenly:

"I guess those things came out when we heard the sound of us smashing the slates. The movement I heard earlier was probably that they were coming out of the hole. ”

"Then it should be underground, with its own set of ecosystems." Qin Fei guessed.

"Anyway, this trip is dangerous enough." Ran Jie had palpitations.

"The people in this city, as well as the adventurers you mentioned earlier, could it be that the adventurers who died earlier were killed by poisonous snakes and poisonous insects?" Qin Fei asked suddenly.

"Possibly!" Zhu Yu nodded, thinking deeply, "This is the only possibility......"

"Then let's ......" Cao Dalong pointed to the side of the city wall, and said with some reluctance, "Do you want to go back?" That's a lot of stuff! ”

Ran Jie and Qin Fei looked at Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu pondered for a moment and said:

"Let's find a place to rest here, wait for the night to pass, and then go over tomorrow during the day. Maybe those guys have shrunk back. ”

"Good!" Several others agreed.

Found a nearby sand dune, parked the car, set up tents, and a few people began to eat self-heating food.

"Boss, you're good enough, in that case, you can drag two boxes back." Cao Dalong said while eating.

Zhu Yu smiled and didn't speak.

His mind flashed to the golden statue in his own space.

His intuition told him that the diamond ball in there should give him the answer to all the mysteries here!
