Mu Jinhai took out his private food: "Yes, the people of Nalota City are too enthusiastic, and they stuffed me with a lot of food. ”

"You still have barbecue?!" Zhan Meng's eyes straightened, "Didn't you take out such a good thing earlier?" ”

Mu Jinhai distributed the barbecue meat to everyone with a painful face: "Of course, you have to save the good things to eat, if I take them out early, you can eat them all on the first day." ”

"No, I think the best thing is the scone." Zhan Meng denied it, and after speaking, he poked Thirteen, "You're right? ”

Thirteen smiled and said, "Yes, I also think that cake is the best." ”

If only I could eat it again.

However, others still have this opportunity, but Thirteen probably doesn't.

Thirteen nibbled on the barbecue while looking at the sunrise shining through the leaves of the mummy forest: "But I've already eaten it, and I'll remember that it's delicious." ”

After everyone finished the barbecue breakfast, they put out the bonfire and set off, during which Mu Jinhai secretly loaded a few firewoods into the backpack that had vacated some space after taking out the jerky, Zheng Shu saw it but didn't say anything, probably because he also had the same premonition as Mu Jinhai - even if Thirteen didn't leave the Temple of the Lost Lands with them this time, they might not be able to return to Naurota City.

When they return to the mummy forest, there will be firewood as torches on the road, and it will be better to walk than to go in the dark.

After all, this time, there was no thirteen on the road to protect them anymore.

Chapter 208

On the fourth day, the journey to the Temple of the Lost Lands was as smooth as ever.

It was they who carried the gold artifacts that they had fished out of the sea of gold artifacts yesterday, so soon after they entered the temple, many small golden snakes crawled out of the gold artifact pool one after another to attack everyone.

Fortunately, everyone already has experience in dealing with it, yesterday Jamon was bitten because he was not prepared, today everyone maintained a high degree of vigilance, no one was injured, and even found out the transformation law of the golden giant snake - if the participants did not touch the gold in the gold pool, then the golden snake would be resurrected after each participant took a crystal bottle of immortal spring water, and the little golden snakes all continued to sleep; However, if the participants touch the gold in the pool, the small golden snake will be immediately awakened, and the large golden snake will be revived when the first small golden snake is killed by the spear of fate, or when all the participants take a bottle of immortal spring water and open the stone door to the temple.

All in all, the golden snake will definitely wake up.

Once it recovers, it will drain all the undead water in the fountain pool to make its massive body, and then hunt down everyone who enters the Temple of the Lost Lands.

However, it will not enter the mummy forest with the participants, firstly because the golden snake is not blessed by the priests, and it may get lost when it enters the forest during the day, and secondly, because the mummy tree is extremely aggressive after nightfall, and the great golden snake will not be killed by the mummified branches that enter the body, but it cannot expel them from the body, and can only torture each other. The little golden snakes also do not enter the mummy forest, as they are too small and slow to move too fast to catch up with the participants.

So far, participants have tried to carry only the undead water and the gold and undead water, neither of which can actually leave the Temple of the Lost Lands.

What they have to test now is to leave behind and drink the water of the immortal spring, and the thirteen who are now immortal, to see if they can leave with only gold.

With Thirteen's help, it didn't take much time for everyone to move to the temple stone gate behind the shadow wall, and in order to ensure that their existence had no effect on them, Thirteen didn't even step out of the temple stone gate this time.

Thirteen didn't say "goodbye" to them either, and the last words he left for everyone were:

"Let's go ——!"

The people who escaped from the temple looked back, and through the stone door that had not yet been closed, they saw Thirteen with his short body blocking them and the giant serpent, the golden spear of fate shining in his hand, at this moment, he was like a warrior carved into the wall of the new temple in Naurlota City to be remembered by the people, and also like the god of war Ares in ancient Greek mythology.

It's just that Ares is also the embodiment of murder, blood, and human disaster, and Thirteen has only eternal loyal protection.

He threw the spear in his hand in front of the stone gate close, leaving the only weapon that could protect him to everyone, and then the stone door slammed shut, completely obscuring his figure.

Yi Yao picked up the golden spear with red eyes and walked on the floating stone road with Mu Jinhai You Lan, who couldn't bear to look at it too much, Zhan Meng, a big man, also covered his face and didn't let go during the run, and the tutu skirt on him looked particularly funny, but no one could laugh.

Everyone was unusually silent along the way, Thirteen's exit made the back seat of the off-road vehicle have an extra empty seat, so that the people sitting in the back seat were not so crowded, but Ying Yiling and Song Quyou would still turn their heads to look at the place where Thirteen was originally sitting, hoping that they could still squeeze together and continue this adventure with him in the stumble.

It's just that the location of his absence tells everyone all the time that his journey has reached the end.

What's more...... His sacrifice was futile and worthless.

When everyone came to the entrance of the mummy forest for the fourth time, Song Quyou, who had low tears, completely exploded

"It's useless...... she turned around and hugged Ying Yiling and cried: "Woo woo thirteen sacrificed ...... in vain"

"Don't be too sad, he drank the immortal spring water, he shouldn't die." Seeing this, Mu Yuji touched the heads of the two girls and comforted them, "Thinking about the good thing, maybe we can go back to the temple tomorrow to save Thirteen?" ”

You Lan also threw off the heavy and heavy machine gun on his body in frustration, his expression was gloomy, and he said negatively: "Well, at least we can still die together on the seventh day." ”

"Yes, that's good, I don't have to pay back my Huabei." Yi Yao stretched his back with his hands behind his head, and said with a wry smile, "I spent an extra month of money before I died, and I made a lot of money." ”

"You two don't want to die, aren't the ferryman NPCs still here, let's look for him if we can't get out on the seventh day." Mu Jinhai opened his mouth in the direction of Bu Jiuzhao, not knowing whether he was joking or telling the truth.

Zheng Shu didn't think that Bu Jiuzhao, the cook of Xie Yinxue's family, was a ferryman NPC, and he didn't pin his hopes for customs clearance on the ferryman NPC, so he squatted on the ground, repeatedly observing the gold artifact brought out of the Temple of the Lost Lands and muttering: "What is the problem?" ”

"Bian Yuchen, aren't you a fortune teller?" Song Quyou cried for a while and suddenly remembered something, wiped his tears and looked at Bian Yuchen, "You said that we are in danger of this copy and can clear the customs, so can you figure out how we should clear the customs?" ”

"I did."

What is the hexagram that Bian Yuchen really calculated? The true hexagram is actually the most murderous.

He said before that there was no danger, but he wanted to stabilize everyone's emotions, after all, people are prone to accidents when they are emotionally unstable.

At present, Bian Yuchen has lost the only dead man in this copy, and there is no one to protect him, so his expression is more solemn than anyone else at this time, and he did not mention the hexagram like a fierce auspicious, but said: "The hexagram said that the only way to crack this level is the word 'let go', but I can't figure out what to let go." ”

"Put down the gold? Or let go of the immortal spring? Zhan Meng guessed, "Does your hexagram mean that we won't take anything, but can leave the Temple of the Lost Lands?" ”

Zheng Shu subconsciously retorted to him: "Impossible, Enoch told us not to return empty-handed." ”

The Jamon people looked very aggressive, but in fact they were delicate, and they were especially good at picking at every word in the words of the NPCs of the guides: "Enoch's word is 'hope', and he doesn't say it certainly." Didn't so many expeditions in the movie end up empty-handed? Why do we need to go home with a full load! Why don't we try to take nothing? I've tried so many times anyway, so I'm going to come back again. ”

"Okay, so be it, we don't have a choice." Zheng Shu put the gold utensils in his pocket, got up from the ground and walked towards the forest, "It's getting dark, hurry into the forest to find a safe camp." ”

Today, just like the other day, it was dark halfway through their journey.

Mu Jinhai came in handy with a few pieces of firewood that he had carried in his bag before leaving in the morning, and they found that the Mummy Tree was surprisingly afraid of fire, and when the participants had torches in their hands, they would hardly attack, and would consciously avoid the crowd.

"So afraid of fire?"

The hunter and the prey were reversed, and Jamon waved his fire stick to tease the mummy trees, and laughed heartily at their ugly appearance of screaming and dodging with twisted branches: "I really want to roast them with a fire." ”

"Holy! Jamon, don't fucking go crazy. When Zheng Shu saw it, he was so frightened that he immediately dragged him, "We are all in the forest, in case of a forest fire, people and trees will all die." ”

Jamon withdrew his torch: "I know it's dangerous to light a fire in the forest, so I'll just kid, don't be nervous." ”

Yi Yao suddenly interjected at this time, staring at a small piece of charred black wilt in his hand and said, "It's really dangerous, we have to keep the torch watching." ”

Yun Qian looked back at him: "What's wrong?" ”

Yi Yao made sure that the dead branch in his hand had completely cooled down and dropped it, and for the sake of safety, he twisted it into the mud with his foot, and after doing all this, he looked up at everyone and said, "These trees are too easy to ignite. ”

The spear of fate left by Thirteen was now temporarily taken over by Yi Yao, and just now he tried to insert a mummy tree with the spear, but the tree did not die directly like being attacked by Thirteen, but just howled in pain.

Yi Yao speculated that this might be because Thirteen drank the water of the Immortal Spring, he would not die, and the other participants would not be able to exert its full effect when they obtained the spear of destiny that originally belonged to him, so the spear was no different from a dagger that could cut in their hands at the moment.

While thinking, he cut off a branch of the mummy tree with his hand, and lit it with the torch in Mu Jinhai's hand. The mummy forest is densely packed with mummified trees, and as long as one of them is ignited, the fire will inevitably spread to the entire forest, and they will definitely be roasted to death in the forest.

After listening to Yi Yao's explanation, how could Zhan Meng dare to joke? Later, all the way, the torch in his hand was as precious as his eyes, and he didn't relax his tense spirit until he arrived at the safety camp.

"Since we've all decided to try to take nothing, can we leave the temple?" Yun Qian proposed, "Then let's leave all the gold artifacts we brought out of the temple here, and don't bring them with us when we leave tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay."

After Mu Jinhai finished speaking, he directly threw away the golden shield he brought out, and without waiting for the dawn of the next day, Zhan Meng also put down the little golden hammer, and even Yi Yao lost the gold heraldic brooch without any nostalgia.

After entering the tent, he still refused to take off the gold ring on his hand, not only did he not take it off, but he also did not allow Xie Yinxue to pick it up.

Xie Yinxue asked him helplessly: "Do you want to be a traitor in the expedition?" ”

Bu Jiuzhao justified and justified: "I just think it has a special meaning, and it's not good to pick it up." ”

Xie Yinxue couldn't help but be glad when he heard this, but he hadn't told Bu Jiuzhao the true meaning of the ring finger ring, otherwise this person wouldn't have taken it off, and now in order to coax him to take it off, Xie Yinxue had to cooperate with him to play some new tricks that he hadn't played in the previous three days.

As soon as the two of them opened meat, they ate the marrow and knew the taste, so they indulged in lust every day and sang songs every night.

But every time the clouds and rain dispersed, Bu Jiuzhao didn't have anything to do, he was tired, and he didn't feel satisfied, but Xie Yinxue felt that he was becoming more and more powerless day by day, and he was already a little weak. His health was already not good, if it weren't for Bu Jiuzhao who would give him some breath every time, Xie Yinxue felt that he might not be able to survive to the end.

And he also found out that Bu Jiuzhao refused to take off the golden ring of the vegetarian circle? This guy just wanted to use it as a coercion to mess around with him, and practice the shameless thoughts and other postures that Xie Yinxue would never agree to before.

Therefore, when she woke up on the morning of the fifth day, Xie Yinxue also thought that they could not go on like this, and they must quickly find a real way to clear the customs and end this endless days of debauchery.

The author has something to say:

Xie Lao: We have to clear the customs quickly.

Hospitable Naurotta residents: A few more days

Step Jiuzhao: yes, a few more days.

Chapter 209

Each time a participant leaves the safe camp to reach the Lost Lands Temple, and the rest of the group exits through the back door of the Lost Lands Temple and returns to the entrance to the Mummy Forest once again - one last and one afternoon, respectively.

Thirteen's absence only affected part of their expedition's ability to fight back against the Mummy Tree and the large and small golden snakes, so on the fifth day, everyone arrived at the Temple of the Lost Lands at noon that day, and they threw away all the gold artifacts they brought out of the temple the day before they set off, and they did not touch the immortal spring, so this time when everyone stepped into the inner temple of the temple, the little golden snakes did not wake up, and the big golden snake was also honestly playing its fountain sculpture, and did not blink from beginning to end.

The interior of the Temple of the Lost Lands is spacious and clean, without too many decorative clutter, and the scenery is unobstructed, so Ying Yiling swept around and said, "...... Thirteen wasn't in it. ”

Song Quyou stared at the fountain sculpture golden snake, and asked a little sadly: "He...... He's not going to be eaten by this snake, is he? ”

This question went unanswered.

Even Ying Yiling and Song Quyou, who asked questions, were actually mentally prepared to say goodbye as early as yesterday when they separated from Thirteen, so even if they confirmed that there was no hope now, they were not too sad, but they were still a little sad and needed time to dilute their emotions.

Mu Yuji sighed, pulled the two girls to the back of the shadow wall and stood by the stone gate, waiting for Xie Yinxue to use the Dotsuna brooch key to open the door.

While waiting, Yun Qian listened to the sound of falling fountains coming from the golden snake sculpture, and concluded, "It seems that as long as we don't touch the gold and immortal springs, this is a very ordinary temple. ”

But Yi Yao still couldn't forget the pool of gold after all, and he was reluctant to cling to his two friends, and turned back repeatedly: "There won't be so much gold in ordinary temples." ”

Zheng Shu looked at the familiar road that appeared in front of them after the stone gate was opened, and said expressionlessly: "There will be no such floating stone roads outside. ”

By the end of five days, the road, the temple, and the mummy forest had been so much so vomiting that when they said goodbye, they could no longer feel the emotions of loss, irritability, or despair, and all that filled their minds and bodies was a sense of stiffness and weakness and numbness.

"Let's go, let's take another look." Zheng Shu shrugged his shoulders and looked depressed, "If it doesn't work this time, I don't know what to do." ”

However, after they went out, before they set foot on the floating stone road, Bu Jiuzhao paused and suddenly said: "There is a smell of blood here." ”

Jamon looked around and asked him, "There are several pools of blood here, where do you mean?" ”

There are a lot of scattered blood stains on the ground of the cliff platform outside the exit of the Temple of the Lost Lands, which were left by the thirteenth day before yesterday when they were behind their palace, and yesterday he was locked in the stone gate with the golden snake, and there should be no fresh blood stains outside, but at this moment, Bu Jiuzhao pointed to a place on the edge of the cliff and said: "Here, the smell of blood is fresher than the day before yesterday, it was left yesterday." ”

Zheng Shuhu wondered: "Can you still smell the blood stains left on that day?" ”

The color of blood oxidizes and blackens over time, so one can roughly guess when it was left by the color of the blood, but how can it be possible to smell exactly when it was left by the human sense of smell alone?

As a result, Mu Jinhai walked over and squatted down cautiously when he heard this, and after carefully looking at it for a few seconds, he said, "He is right, there is indeed blood." ”

Zhan Meng gave a thumbs up to Bu Jiuzhao in amazement: "Brother Niuwa, is this the sense of smell of a top chef?" ”

There are a lot of dark moss growing on the edge of the cliff, and the blood stains on them are not noticeable, and they are in the dead corner of people's vision, so they need to be very close to observe. But people instinctively avoid dangerous places like cliffs, let alone stand on the very edge, risking falling down at any moment to observe these inconspicuous dark mosses, and even Bu Jiuzhao, who has the best eyesight, finds that it does not rely on sight, but on smell.
