Zhang Lin said: "You can discuss it among yourselves. It depends on my boss. If she goes in, I will go in. Otherwise, if something happens to her, who will I ask to get the money?"
Shirley Yang heard this and said, "Thank you very much!"
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he quietly pulled Hu Bayi to the side and said, "Lao Hu, what this guy said makes sense. If Shirley Yang goes in, we have to go in too. Otherwise, she has something to do with our fifty thousand US dollars."
The knife was a mess."
"Nonsense!" Hu Bayi quietly motioned to the fat man to look at the temple and said: "Not to mention the beautiful sword, the tomb of this exquisite queen is right in front of us. As a last resort, why don't you go in and take a look? It's not worthy of our honor as a gold captain.
?
Also, don’t you think about how much gold and silver the Queen Jingjue has collected, if we just grab some while they are not paying attention, it will be no less than what Shirley Yang gave us.”
"That's right!" Fatty thought for a moment and agreed with Hu Bayi's statement, then whispered: "Then I'll take some casually depending on the situation."
Hu Bayi nodded slightly and said: "Be smart and don't be discovered by Professor Chen and others!"
"Don't worry!" The fat man said with a smile: "With my skills, I'm absolutely neat."
"Xiao Hu, have you discussed it yet?" Professor Chen asked Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan who were mumbling after discussing with several of his students.
When the two heard this, Hu Badai said: "Professor, we have discussed it and are going to talk to Miss Yang. What about you?"
"That's right!" Wang Kaixuan said: "The three of us accepted money from Miss Yang, so it seems that we are all going in, so only one person from your side went back."
"This..." Professor Chen heard this and saw that several of his students were embarrassed. They had just discussed it and they all wanted to go in.
Seeing that Professor Chen was silent, Zhang Lin knew that they all wanted to go in, so he said: "I see it like this, Professor, just let Ye Yixin go back! She has the weakest physical strength here. If something happens if she goes in, I'm afraid I will have to take care of her."
.”
"I won't go back, Professor!" Ye Yixin said: "Sa Di Peng is still timid, he will go back."
"Who said I am cowardly?" Sa Di Peng said unconvinced: "I am very courageous! And I have received militia training and can shoot. If there is a situation when I go in, I can also help cover fire for everyone. Can you?"
"
"Okay, I've decided, Xiaoye go back!" Professor Chen finally made the decision and said to Ye Yixin earnestly: "Xiaoye, your task is not light either. If we really can't get out, you will have to take all these precious materials with you.
.”
"Professor, I..." Ye Yixin hesitated, but Zhang Lin interrupted her and said: "Now that everyone has decided, let's take action and try to come out before dark."
After hearing this, everyone stood up, and after Professor Chen and Ye Yixin explained some more things, they set off to the temple again.
Looking at the backs of several people walking into the temple, Ye Yixin shouted loudly: "You must come back safely!"
Wang Kaixuan returned: "You go quickly, be careful on the way, and wait for us at the Zagrama camp to bring back the news of victory."
After saying that, the group of people disappeared from Ye Yixin's eyes. Ye Yixin packed his bags tightly and returned to the camp alone.
The group of people came to the temple again. Shirley Yang found that the altar had changed somewhat after the black snakes disappeared. Finally, Hu Bayi confirmed that the altar was a mechanism called: The Sixteenth Dragon of the Earth.
After working together with Shirley Yang, the passage to the underground palace was opened. The group entered the passage and soon discovered an underground river. Several people hurriedly ran to the underground river and filled the water bags with water.
"Don't you hold water?" Shirley Yang walked to Zhang Lin and asked.
When Zhang Lin heard this, he saw Shirley Yang who was drinking water from the underground river and smiled strangely: "You will know why I didn't fill it with water in a moment."
Wang Kaixuan touched Hu Bayi and signaled to Shirley Yang and Zhang Lin: "Old Hu, look at Zhang Lin, do you think his smile is very charming?"
Hu Ba looked at it one by one and said, "It's true when you say it! What is this kid doing?"
When Shirley Yang, who was sitting there to tell the story, heard this, she looked at the kettle and said, "Do you think there is something wrong with this water?" Then she shook her head and said, "But I have treated it with special tablets, and it is safe to drink."
Zhang Lin shook the talisman in his hand and said, "As long as you can drink it, I don't need water!"
Shirley Yang smiled at the sight and said, "I forgot that you still have this thing."
After saying that, he walked to Professor Chen who was directing Chu Jian and others to take notes, not knowing what to say.
After Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang filled up the water, they got up to inspect the surrounding environment and terrain.
After a while, I discovered that there was a thousand-pound stone gate on the other side of the underground river, which had been blown open with gunpowder.
"There should be some mechanism through which we can get past!" Hu Bayi said to everyone, then turned around to find the mechanism and press it secretly.
While everyone was searching together, Fatty Wang found a hidden bridge in the water and touched it alone.
When Hu Bayi asked him to get a military shovel, he had already reached the middle of the river.
Hu Bayi hurriedly said: "Fat man, where are you? Come back quickly!"
Wang Kaixuan smiled and said: "Don't bother, there is a bridge in the water." He also stamped his feet to let everyone see more clearly.
Hu Bayi glared at Wang Kaixuan and said: "Who the hell let you go? Come back quickly."
Seeing this, Wang Kaixuan came back reluctantly. As soon as it was dark, Sa Di Peng said: "Brother Hu, do you make any noise?"
"What's the sound?" Wang Kaixuan listened and asked, "You're talking about the sound of water, right? It's normal for such a large underground river to have water sounds. There's nothing to make a fuss about."
"No, there's a sound!" Shirley Yang loaded her gun, ran to Professor Chen's side, protected them from behind, pointed the gun in the direction of the sound source and said, "Everyone, be careful, they are coming."
Everyone listened to the increasingly clear sounds. Sa Di Peng swallowed his saliva, grabbed Fatty Wang's sleeves, hid behind him, stuck his head out and whispered: "It can't be those snakes, right?"
Hu Bayi listened carefully and said doubtfully: "It doesn't look like a snake, it looks like..."
The squeaking sound rang through their ears, and everyone exclaimed: "It's a mouse..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of black figures suddenly emerge from the darkness of the river opposite and jump into the river one after another.
Everyone shined their flashlights and saw that the rats that suddenly appeared did not come ashore to attack the archaeological team. Instead, they were drinking and bathing in the water and eating algae floating in the water.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that this underground river is a drinking place for all the underground creatures around. Just now I was wondering how so many black snakes can survive here. It seems that the underground palace of this exquisite queen is better than I imagined."
It's even bigger, and a relatively complete ecosystem has been formed here. I think these rats are the food of those black snakes."
Professor Chen nodded and said: "These rats eat the ferns, moss and floating algae in the underground palace, and the black snakes feed on them, thus forming a relatively single food chain to ensure the survival of the black snakes, and then the black snakes
Kill the tomb thieves who come to explore the ancient city. This will ensure the safety of the Queen's underground palace simply and effectively."
After Professor Chen finished speaking, he sighed: "This shows how wise the ancients were from thousands of years ago."
"Old Hu!" Wang Kaixuan pulled Hu Bayi, pointing at the mice bathing in the water, and said as if he was nauseated and vomiting: "Stop analyzing, do you think what we just drank is the bath water of these mice?"
When everyone heard this, they looked at the rats in the underground river and started vomiting on the stone wall.
"You knew it a long time ago!" Shirley Yang, who was almost exhausted from vomiting, stared at Zhang Lin and asked.
Zhang Lin smiled and said nothing. Wang Kaixuan, who was out of breath, pointed at Zhang Lin and said: "Old Hu, I'm just telling you why this kid smiled so sinisterly just now. He is so damn inhuman if he is waiting for us here. Ugh...
"
"Comrade Xiao Zhang, you... vomit..." Professor Chen held on to the stone and was speechless.
Zhang Lindao: "I reminded you once in the ancient city of Xiye that the water in the desert, God knows what, told you not to drink it randomly." He spread his hands and said: "You don't remember it, blame me.
Wow!"
"You..." Fatty Wang heard this and pointed at Zhang Lin. There was nothing he could do to Zhang Lin, so he could only angrily hold the gun and shoot at the rats one by one.
The rats were so densely packed that they were hard to count. They probably numbered in the tens of thousands. However, they had been in the underground palace for a long time and their only natural enemies were those black snakes. There was no sound of gunshots.
Although Wang Kaixuan had just fired a few shots and was stopped by Hu Bayi, when the rats heard the gunshots, no doubt they heard the thunder on the ground, they were frightened and fled in all directions, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the group of rats disappear in the blink of an eye, Hu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief and scolded Wang Kaixuan: "Fat man, what are you doing? Who asked you to shoot? What if those rats are angry and come to attack us?"
Wang Kaixuan said: "What are you doing, Old Hu? Didn't you scare everyone away? What's the fuss?"
"you……"
"Okay, Old Hu!" Shirley Yang glanced at Zhang Lin with exhaustion, stopped Hu Bayi and the others and said, "Let's see if we can cross this bridge and go behind the Thousand Jin Gate to have a look."
"Yes, Xiao Hu!" Professor Chen said: "The plan now is to find Queen Jingjue's underground palace as soon as possible. It's getting late. To be safe, we must go out before dark."
When Hu Bayi heard this, he could only nod in agreement and prepared to go behind the Thousand Jin Gate. Fatty Wang wanted to go with him, but Hu Bayi stopped him and said: "The rats were scared away by you, and I don't know if they will come back. You guys
Watch from here, I can go in alone."
Zhang Lin had no objection when he heard this. He knew that the coffin of Queen Jingjue was still far behind the Thousand Jin Gate, so he agreed with Hu Bayi and stayed outside.
Shirley Yang insisted on going in with Hu Bayi. Seeing this, Hu Bayi smiled and said: "Miss Yang, I can go in alone. If you go in together, if there is any emergency, I will have to take care of you. It's really not possible."
It’s convenient. If you are really worried, Fatty or Brother Zhang can just go in with me."
Hearing this, Shirley Yang said: "If there is a situation, I can't tell who will protect whom." She took the rifle from Sa Di Peng on the side, looked at Hu Bayi and said seriously: "Queen Jingjue's coffin may be at the giant gate.
After that, I’m worried about the three of you and the other two going in, don’t you think so? Leader Hu.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi looked at Shirley Yang in front of him, trying to see something from his face, but seeing that his attitude was very tough, he said: "Shopkeeper, you can go in if you want, but you have to obey me in all your actions.
.”
Shirley Yang said: "You are our team leader, so I will naturally listen to you on how to act."
