150. The style of acting in the same vein as the death system
The issue of the curse of the ghost cave was not in a hurry for the time being, Luo Zihang put down his complicated thoughts and followed the team to the foot of Zagrama Mountain.
Zagrama is not so much a mountain as two huge black stones, both of which are tens of kilometers in diameter, only a shallow ridge is exposed in the sea of sand, and the larger part is buried in the ground, and these two boulders are not ordinary stones, but magnets.
When the archaeological team approached them, the watches, compasses, and other equipment they were carrying were all out of order, and the metal objects on their bodies could be clearly felt to be a little heavier.
Everyone got off the camel, Luo Zihang and the guide took the lead, Ah Cheng and Senior Brother Zhang broke off, lined up in a column, led the camel, and cautiously walked into the valley of the black goo in the middle of winter.
Because the watch was out of order, and it was night, there was no definite idea of time, so the atmosphere became a little oppressive as it had been when the team had been hiding from the sandstorm in the ruins of the ancient city.
Fortunately, this time they are not in danger of their lives, so in addition to being more mentally exhausted, there is no big problem at the moment.
The group had been walking for several hours, and when it was almost dawn, they saw a faint exit in front of them, and it seemed that they were about to get out of the valley.
But at this time, as if frightened in some way, the camels suddenly refused to go on, and were restless and wanted to run back, and the guide whistled and shouted, and did everything in his power to calm the camels.
"We can't go any further, the gods only allow us to go here." The guide said with a serious face.
There was a reason why he would think so, these camels had not been as flustered as they had been when they encountered sandstorms and marching ants before, and for a believer who had only been rescued by a mysterious white camel, it was natural to regard it as a warning from the gods.
It's just that seeing that they are about to go out of the valley, Monica and Professor Tian and the others naturally refused to give up, and they immediately argued with the guide.
】
However, for a devout believer, once he decided that the matter was a revelation, it would naturally not give in easily, even if Monica quadrupled the already substantial reward, it could not shake him.
Just when several people were arguing, Luo Zihang on the side had already used a flashlight to shine a circle ahead, and successfully found a figure sitting on the ground, but the light of the flashlight was still too weak, so he could only light a lighting fireworks and throw it over as in the original book.
Under the light of the cold fireworks, the figure also successfully appeared in front of everyone.
"Who is this?" Monica stopped arguing with her guide and wanted to lean in to take a look.
Then he was pulled back by Luo Zihang.
"Don't go over, don't you see the color of his skin? If it's not good, it's contaminated with some kind of poison. ”
Luo Zihang's words made the other people who wanted to get over stop, his previous judgment of the marching ant finally played a role at this time, and in this uncertain situation, everyone was still willing to obey his command.
Then, Luo Zihang threw a few cold fireworks around, lighting up a large area nearby, and then in the front place, three other male corpses appeared, and like the first corpse, their skin showed a strange blue-blue skin, and around them, there were also some guns and a few backpacks scattered around.
"They're supposed to be the grave robbers." Luo Zihang said to the others as he picked up a stone, took a few more steps forward, and threw it towards the first corpse.
The stone hit the target, and the sitting corpse shook and fell to the ground, and the face towel used to protect against wind and sand also slipped off, and when he caught it, everyone saw a strange snake with a black flesh crown on the top of his head coming out of his mouth, avoiding the lighting and fireworks that were still emitting fire around him, and rushed towards Luo Zihang and them at a very fast speed.
Luo Zihang shook the flashlight in his hand and aimed it at the strange snake, while his other hand quickly pulled out the sapper shovel that had been on standby from behind his back.
Fortunately, the description of the original book is still reliable, the strange snake was illuminated by the light, and immediately bounced off the ground like an electric shock, but after it landed, it still persevered and pounced on Luo Zihang.
Luo Zihang quickly retreated, and continued to shake it with a flashlight, but unfortunately the other party seemed to have adapted to this level of light and no longer had any strong reactions.
Seeing that the flashlight was no longer effective, Luo Zihang casually stuffed it into his pocket, and then saw the direction where the strange snake was coming, slapped a shovel on its head, and slapped the snake's head to a thin slate, and a lot of ink-colored black juice flowed out of the broken snake head, and the black juice spilled on the sand, making a creepy "snort" sound.
Seeing that the venom of this strange snake was so terrifying, Monica and several other team members who originally wanted to step forward patted their chests with a look of fear, and at the same time became more convinced of Luo Zihang's command.
"Let's get around it quickly......"
Many people have a natural fear of snakes, and Monica is no exception, and if she hadn't been thinking about recovering her father's bones, she would have turned around and left.
"Don't worry." Luo Zihang waved his hand, "I don't know what danger there is in front of me, it's best to bring those guns in case of emergency." ”
In fact, the archaeological team is also equipped with two rifles for fighting birds, but neither the power nor the rate of fire can be compared with those military rifles scattered on the ground, and according to the description in it, there are a lot of explosives in those backpacks, which are very useful later.
Then, Luo Zihang made a simple grappling hook with the rope they carried, and used this grappling hook to hook the guns and packages in the distance......
When he was studying martial arts in "Dragon Division", he was also very good at soft weapons such as the meteor hammer, so it was easy for him to use a grappling hook to hook something.
"Which of you would use a gun?" Luo Zihang threw a gun to Ah Cheng, then turned his head to look at the others and asked knowingly.
"I will." Monica replied, stepped forward and took a handful, expertly unloading the magazine and pressing it back to show that she was right.
Then, Luo Zihang opened the backpacks again, and in addition to some bright weapons, there was indeed a lot of yellow powder, that is, TNT.
Luo Zihang sorted out the explosives, and the bright weapons were thrown to Professor Tian for them to deal with.
After doing all this, the group set out again, and by the reaction of the camels, they bypassed the area where there might be strange snakes, and hurried out of the dark valley of Zagrama by the light of cold smoke and flashlights.
Not long after they walked out of the valley, the distant horizon began to light up with a faint red.
Gradually, the dark red turned to rose, to blood, and finally to ten thousand golden rays, and the sun rose from the eastern sand dunes, shining the whole desert like gold.
In this piece of gold, a huge city is displayed in front of everyone, countless broken walls, various houses and buildings of bricks, wood and stone, countless towers in the city, and the most prominent is a black stone tower that has been tilted, standing quietly in the city.
Monica and Professor Tian were all excited, even Professor Miao and the others, who had retreated before, were also excited, only Luo Zihang continued to sigh helplessly......
If he hadn't been severely targeted by this world, he wouldn't have bothered to come to the desert to suffer this crime, wouldn't it be fragrant to open a pet store to deal with cats and dogs?
It's a pity that although Monica and the others will listen to Luo Zihang's command at a critical moment, they completely ignore his advice on this issue, and they are very excited and speed up their pace and rush to the Exquisite Ancient City.
As they approached the ancient city, however, the camels began to make a fuss again, and once again refused to advance, as they had been in the valley before, with a restless appearance even more intense than in the valley of Zagrama.
Now the guide didn't do anything, he didn't even mention the gods, and directly pointed out that the city was probably the lair of those strange snakes, so he refused to enter.
To be honest, everyone actually agrees with this speculation, but Professor Monica and Tian do not intend to give up, and even Professor Miao and others, who were originally retreating, have "defected" and want to enter the ancient city fearlessly.
And they have a good reason, "Applejack shot the monster snake to death with a shovel before, and now we have so many guns, we don't have to worry about it." ”
"You don't think much about it, is the snake hiding here going to be the size of a marching ant?" Luo Zihang poured cold water and said: "Even if it's only one-tenth of those marching ants...... No, one-twentieth of the scale, the little weapons we have are just decorations. ”
Luo Zihang's words successfully calmed down Professor Miao and the others, who were already a little scared, and even the two male students had the idea of retreating, only Professor Tian and Monica still wanted to enter the city, even if they paid for it.
In fact, Monica can understand Luo Zihang's choice of this, but what is Professor Tian for? The Exquisite Ancient City had been found, and he could organize a more well-equipped and targeted archaeological team in the future, so there was no need to take this risk......
Although doing so will only make more people get contaminated with the curse of the ghost cave.
After Luo Zihang secretly complained, he proposed: "It's better than this, just me, Ah Cheng, Monica and Professor Tian will enter the Exquisite Ancient City, and the rest of you will set up camp outside and wait for us to come out, if we don't come back after a day, you will turn back immediately." ”
He would suggest this because in the original book, it was the four of them who escaped from the Exquisite Ancient City alive, and it was better to let those who would die because of it stay outside in the first place.
"I'm fine." Monica was the first to respond.
For her, the number of people entering the ancient city was not a problem, she just wanted to find her father.
And Professor Tian has no opinion, he even thinks that Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng don't need to go on an adventure together......
So this person knows that this trip is extremely risky, but he just wants to die?
Luo Zihang was speechless.
is worthy of being a professor in their school as a dead department, and it really comes in the same vein.
Among the remaining people, the guide naturally had to be used by Ba, and after some struggles between Professor Miao and the three interns, the two male students finally chose to go into the city together.
However, after thinking about it, Luo Zihang decided to bring only one junior in.
"Professor Miao and Senior Sister Xiaolin need someone to take care of them," Luo Zihang said meaningfully, "It's better to keep one more person down." ”
Others thought that Luo Zihang was guarding against the guide, but in fact, it was he who remembered the prophecy of a prophet in the Exquisite Ancient City, predicting that only four people would be able to escape, so he wanted to try to bring one more in, and the prophecy would not change.
After some discussion, it was finally Senior Brother Zhang who joined the team to explore the Exquisite Ancient City, because in the original book, he was affected by the corpse incense konjac and killed another junior brother.
Although it is unlikely that such a situation will occur outside the city, considering the closure of the world line, Luo Zihang feels that it is better to take him with him.
After assigning the team, Luo Zihang and the five of them brought some equipment and weapons, plus food and water bottles, and sprinkled their bodies with insect repellent medicine that they didn't know if it would be effective, and then cautiously walked into the ancient city.
It's just that not long after entering the ancient city, Professor Tian began to go up, he completely ignored the strange snakes that might appear at any time, and excitedly looked around, even a section of the dilapidated city wall could be seen for a long time.
So Luo Zihang had to remind him that they didn't have much water on them, and most of it was left to Professor Miao and others who were guarding outside the city, and the main purpose of entering the city this time was to find the water source in the ancient city and replenish the water.
Professor Tian woke up from his excitement and began to look for water sources with everyone.
It's just that the residential areas in the city are filled with yellow sand, and they searched around, but they couldn't even find a well.
Luo Zihang knew that there was water in the palace of the Absolute Queen, but he couldn't remember the specific location of the palace...... It is also possible that it is not written.
Just as he was thinking about how to get everyone to go to the palace, Professor Tian had already taken the first step to speak: "This kingdom in the desert is all built in the place where the underground river is close to the ground, and there are rivers passing through some underground palaces. The royal palace is generally located in the middle of the city. ”
"Is that so?" Although Luo Zihang couldn't remember the specific location of the palace, he could estimate where the center of the city was, so he pointed to the somewhat inclined black tower in the distance and asked, "I don't know much about the Elite Kingdom, but is it their custom to put a tall tower in the middle of their palace?" ”
Professor Tian was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders and replied very shamefully, "I don't know either, but there are no other clues now, right?" And even if the palace is not in the center of the city, it will be in the middle area, so you have to go and have a look. ”
Luo Zihang thought about it, and what he said made sense, so he didn't raise doubts.
The scale of the exquisite ancient city is still very large, and many roads are blocked due to the collapse of buildings, so Luo Zihang and his party also spent some time and made a few detours before they successfully arrived in the center of the city.
However, as Luo Zihang had guessed before, in the center of the city, there was no palace, only the somewhat inclined black tower.
