Chapter 4 The Only Clue

"We usually bring rifles and sabers and stuff like that. Jack cut the meat into small pieces, smeared it with sauce, and skewered it on the barbecue skewers he had brought. The same is true of Paul. Both of them had a large handful of meat skewers in their hands and roasted them on the fire. Slowly, a burst of fragrance came in.

"Why do you think the Tang knife is good? A long knife like this is not suitable for combat. Paul glanced at the knife.

"It's okay, it's not going to war. Kai smiled.

The evening breeze in summer is still very cool. Especially in this kind of wild. The breeze was gentle and relaxing.

"I remember the first time I camped shortly after I graduated. We gave up the examination to practice medicine. The life of the six-pointed star is still very simple!" Lily is more outgoing, and the whole person seems to be extraordinarily energetic, "By the way, where was Lena camping at that time? ”

"Hmm, let me think about it, it's in Hawaii, right?" said Lena, softly.

"Allah, you don't have a lot, the three of us do. Lin Yun said loudly, "In real camping, you may encounter all kinds of dangers anytime and anywhere. Otherwise, there would not be as few adventurers as they are now. ”

"I remember the last time a large group of wolves came, I really don't know if someone brought it, otherwise how would they know our whereabouts. The three of us made a small hole in the tent and fought until dawn. I had no choice but to run outside and engage them in close combat. Otherwise, the two beauties will become food. Jack said blandly, as if he were portraying a scene that had nothing to do with himself, "The three of us were covered in wounds, and the outside of the tent was full of wolf corpses, forming a lake of blood around the three of us. Hehe, it's dangerous. Jack shook his head.

"That pack of wolves is so desperate to kill us, I guess it has something to do with that artifact," Lily sat on the ground with her legs crossed, looking at the fire and reminiscing.

"What is that artifact?" asked Kai curiously.

"A totem. Lena leaned against Kai's side, touched the black civet and said suddenly.

"The organization's mission is as dangerous as ever. I really don't know why the six-pointed star has investigated so many relics of civilization?" Lin Yun picked up a meat skewer and ate it, "Eat, everyone eat, it's already okay." ”

Hearing Lin Yun's words, everyone who had been hungry for a long time devoured them one after another, and even the most elegant Lina didn't care much about her image, one in her right hand was eaten by herself, and one in her left hand was eaten by the black spirit cat.

The wind swept the clouds. The crowd threw the bamboo sticks in their hands into the fire.

"Alright, let's rest first, and we'll take turns keeping vigil. Jack said, "Kay, I'll call you when it's your turn." The crowd said goodnight to each other and returned to their tents.

"See Kano tomorrow. Lena and Lily greeted the black civet, "And Kai, of course." ”

"Well, good night. Kai hugged the black cat Kano, watched the two beauties get into the tent, said hello to Lin Yun and Paul, and also got into the tent. It's Jack's vigil, and it's Kai in a minute.

"What should I do! Kano!" Kay said with a hint of weakness, "I hope I can find some clues tomorrow in Uluban Village." ”

"It's okay, Kai. People always have to go through something to grow. You're the one who is valued by the organization. The black civet lay on the floor and looked at Kai.

"But you saved me last time!" said Kay, who slowly felt the fear of death. The black cat has figured this out. Think about it too. After hearing about being surrounded by wolves, coupled with the despair faced before, there will be a shadow in the hearts of powerful people.

"It's your choice, Akai. You'll get used to it. Besides, isn't there still me?" said Kano the black civet as he looked at Kai quietly.

"Well, thanks, I'm much better. Rest early, Kano. Kai didn't think about it either, and slowly fell asleep under the covers. The black civet cat looked around with blue light in its eyes, and fell asleep as if it didn't find anything.

"Akai, get up. ”

A voice rang out in Kai's head. It's the voice of a black civet.

"What's wrong?"

"It's your turn to keep vigil. The black civet Kano said.

Kai shook his head to sober himself up a bit, hugged the black civet, and got out of the tent. Swap shifts with Jack. Jack was still surprised to see Kai, thinking that he might be snorting and sleeping. Jack didn't think much of it either. Go back to sleep.

Kay looked at his phone and saw that it was 3 a.m. A vigil for two people at night is enough. The sky and the stars are still very bright. Kai gradually became much more sober, looking at the dark woods and observing something.

"Don't worry, there's no danger around. Kano said and continued to sleep in Kai's arms.

"Thank you. A weak, inaudible voice came out of Kai's mouth. Kai happily kept smiling.

The morning star on the horizon is shining. The sky was also cloudy. It didn't take long for the first rays of the sun to illuminate the camp. The first to come out were Jack and Paul, followed by Lin Yun and the blonde twin beauties.

"Are you still used to it?" said Jack, taking a puff on his cigar.

"Well, get used to it. Kay nodded, seeing Lily and Lena arrive to send the black civet over, "How did you two sleep?"

"Thanks to you, I slept soundly. Lily and Lena said at the same time.

"Then we're going to Uluban. And Kay took bread and milk and gave them to the people.

"Thank you"

······

Skirting the rainforest, the group was greeted by a wide dirt road, at the end of which a brick house could be seen. There are not many houses, and it is a small village. In the village, walking are black people, compatriots of Jack and Paul.

"Hey, hello brother!" called Paul, familiarly.

"Hey, hello, what's the matter? I think you're the same people who camped on the edge of the cliff last night, my name is Ben, why are you here?"

"We're adventurers, we're here to investigate the ruins?" said Jack, walking up and eating the rest of the bread in his mouth.

"Well, I don't know what to see in our damn place, but you're still welcome. I've grown up here since I was a kid and I've never heard of any ruins in Uluban. ”

"It's going to be difficult, your village is the only clue. Are you sure there's nothing here?" said Kai, "Hello, my name is Kai, and I almost forgot to introduce myself. I am the captain of this expedition. ”

"Well, there have never been any relics in our village, otherwise it would have been developed into a tourist area long ago. But since it's so important, I think the old man must know something. I'll take you to the old village chief. ”

Ben led Kai and the others to bring a small house, and in the courtyard sat an old man with white hair.

"Hey, Grandpa Kane, how are you doing today?" Ben waved his hand to get the old man's attention.

"Oh, it's Ben. What's the matter? It's rare to see outsiders. "The old man was very kind.

"Oh, they're adventurers, they're archaeology. Say what to come to our village to find some ruins. I've never heard of any ruins. Grandpa, have you heard of it?"

"Historical sites?ah, let me think about ······" The old man sat on the chaise longue, squinting his eyes, struggling to recall the memories that were about to disappear into his years.

"If even Grandpa Kane doesn't know, then there's not much I can do. Ben said as he looked at Kay.

"Well, thank you. ”

"You're welcome. ”

The young men stood silently, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the old man's memories. The old man frowned and smoked a cigarette. Thoughts go back to a long, long time ago.

A bird's cry broke the peace.

"No, there are no ruins here. The old man looked at Kai and said, "But there is a legend. Would you like to hear it, boys?"

"Of course, thank you Grandpa Kane. Kai and the others said.

"When I was very young, my grandfather told me a story about a long, long time ago, there was a road to prosperity in the northeast of our village. As long as someone can find it, they can get an endless treasure of gold. Fame, fortune and power will follow. However, it was the place where death belonged, and none of the people who went there ever returned. Some of those who are lucky will not find the way. Bad luck is gone. Travelers, there are often people in our village in the northeast, but no relics have been found. Hopefully, this legend will help you. There is also the Sahara Desert all the way to the northeast. The old man pointed to the northeast with a thin finger.

"Thank you very much, Grandpa Kane. We've got the clues we want, and Ben, we're leaving. Jack patted Ben on the shoulder.

"Won't you stay a little longer?" said Ben hospitablely.

"No, there is something very important to be done, and it is inconvenient to stay for too long. Paul said.

"Well, goodbye, thank you very much. Kai and Ben waved goodbye.

"Goodbye. Ben also waved his hand.

"Grandpa, is that legend true?"

"Who knows. Old Man Kane smiled, "Perhaps." ”

······

Back at the camp and packing their belongings, the six began to think about walking northeast.

Lin Yun held a ground wave detector in his hand, specially to explore the underground.

"Maybe we can really find the ruins, is there really a lot of gold in the Golden Ancient Country? Lily said excitedly.

"I don't know about gold, but I guess there's a lot of dead people. Lin Yun, who was walking in front, said.

"It's not going to be dangerous this time. Jack looked around the rainforest, and Paul walked with the same little wings.

Seeing this, Kai sighed, worthy of being an old-timer. The relaxation of the relaxation, the vigilance of the vigilance.

The group is like this, and now the rainforest keeps turning, constantly looking around, looking at the ground waver. But I couldn't find a place where there was space underground.

"Well, not in the rainforest. Let's get out of the rainforest. Lin Yun said.

Walking out of the rainforest, the six of them saw a plain, surrounded by tall hills, which were also covered with small grass, no big trees, only a few bushes. Lily and Lena looked around, and their mood was much better than in the rainforest. The cool wind on the plains took away the fatigue of the people.
