Xiao Ran looked at the "forbidden" stone in his hand, and his mind was very confused. Why did this thing appear inexplicably? Where did the second uncle get this stone?

Could it be that this Forbidden Stone is the fragment of Faqiu Seal that exists in Western Xinjiang as Bai Jiuguo mentioned before?

If he had known that his second uncle had already obtained this fragment, there would be no need for him to take such a risky trip to Jingjue Ancient City and get himself injured all over again.

No, he went to Jingjue Ancient City firstly to experience this magical adventure, and secondly so that everyone in the archaeological team could survive, and his private purpose was to find another fragment. Now it seems that his purpose is all

Having achieved it, he should be happy.

But he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he still had to quickly meet up with his second uncle and ask him how he found this fragment.

He quickly got up. The fat man and Hu Bayi next to him, thinking there was another danger, jumped up from the ground and looked around nervously.

Xiao Ran glanced at the half-shattered Zagrama Mountain. Just as he was about to enter from the entrance of the valley, a sound of camel bells suddenly came.

With the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw the mighty camel caravan slowly approaching them from the depths of the valley. Under the shadow of the mountains, An Liman could be vaguely seen sitting on the leading camel.

Now everyone was finally relieved, and the fat man sat down on the soft sand again, waiting for An Liman to bring the camel team over.

Xiao Ran looked at the camel that was slowly approaching, and felt something strange. An Liman seemed to be asleep, swaying on the camel. Xiao Ran looked back again and saw that his second uncle was not riding on the camel, but his entire body.

He was stretched across the camel's back, his hands and heads hanging down were dangling softly, as if...

It's like he's dead.

Xiao Ran's scalp suddenly felt numb. Could it be that he had tried his best to save the members of the archaeological team, but the members who were guarding outside suffered a terrible fate?

Hu Bayi also noticed this strange thing and was about to follow Xiao Ran towards the camel team when he suddenly saw several jar-like objects falling from the sky and landing among the resting people.

Waves of smoke spurted out from the can, and Xiao Ran accidentally smelled a pungent smell. Suddenly his hands and feet felt a little stiff, and he almost fell down on the sand. He quickly took two steps back, took out the kettle, and sniffed his nose and eyes with water.

The feeling of fainting was finally relieved a little.

Others were not so lucky. They were surrounded by the smoke without any defense. They kept coughing and collapsed to the ground. After a while, they were unable to move.

Xiao Ran nervously put on a gas mask, rushed into the crowd, threw the smoking cans away, and checked everyone's breathing and pulse. Fortunately, they just fainted.

It seemed that someone was going to deal with them. He instinctively thought that at least one of the tomb robbers' accomplices was still alive. Maybe that guy had never left and was secretly preparing to ambush them at any time.

He picked up the assault rifle and looked around carefully. Except for the still towering rocks around him, there seemed to be no place for anyone to hide.

The camel bells behind him got closer and closer, and finally stopped beside him. As if they had received the order, the twenty camels knelt down on the sand one after another.

Xiao Ran approached An Liman carefully and tested his breathing and pulse. Like everyone else, he also fainted, but his legs were fixed to the camel, which prevented him from falling off the camel.

.

It seems that after they left, the second uncle and An Liman were attacked.

He hurriedly ran to his second uncle again. Just as he was about to reach out and touch his neck, he noticed something strange. There seemed to be two black spectacle legs next to his ears. The second uncle had never worn glasses, or maybe...

…

"Second Uncle" suddenly raised his head, his entire face covered by sunglasses and scarf. But Xiao Ran knew that this person was not Second Uncle at all.

"Haha..." Several laughters came from under the scarf, and the man wearing sunglasses in front of him suddenly stood up, raised his upper body with his hands on the camel's back, and suddenly kicked out his legs from under him, hitting Xiao Ran in the chest.

Xiao Ran was kicked by these feet and flew backwards in an instant. As the world was spinning, he felt a sweet taste well up in his throat. The soft sand had less friction than the flat ground, so he rolled several times in succession.

He stopped, but fortunately there was some buffering in the sand, so he was not injured except for his chest.

After experiencing the earthquake in the ancient city of Jingjue and the Zagrama Mountain, Xiao Ran was already feeling empty. Coupled with the slight side effects of the smoke just now, he lay on the sand with eyes full of stars, and for a moment he couldn't tell the difference between heaven and earth.

He felt someone approaching, and struggled to get up, but was stepped on by the person on his shoulder, and a sharp pain came, making him unable to use his strength.

The man wearing sunglasses looked at him condescendingly. His whole body was dressed exactly like the tomb robbers who died in the valley. At a glance, he knew that he was the accomplice who escaped.

Black Glasses slowly squatted down and pulled away the scarf from his mouth, with a cynical smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Brother, I have no interest in you or your people. But if you take my things, you have to give them back to me, right?"

When this person spoke, he spoke Zhaojing dialect with a hint of northeast accent. Hearing this accent suddenly in this desert, Xiao Ran felt a sense of intimacy.

But the familiar accent does not mean that the visitor is friendly. Xiao Ran secretly grabbed a handful of sand and wanted to throw it into Black Glasses' face without him noticing. But before he could raise his hand, Black Glasses suddenly reached out and grabbed his elbow.

Twisting his vise-like hands hard, Xiao Ran felt a numbness in his arm, and he let go with a grin on his face.

"Brother, we are all fellow countrymen, and we want to play dirty? Don't you think you are a little bit interested?"

There was always a smile on the face of the black glasses. This smile made Xiao Ran shudder. It was a smile that could see through life and death and ignore life.

Black Glasses saw that he gave up resistance for a moment and began to search on his body. As things like Bei Jiuguo and Yin Yang Mirror were uncovered one after another, the smile on Black Glasses' face gradually solidified.

Until he touched the Guanshan knife on Xiao Ran's back, the smile on his face completely disappeared.

"You actually have this thing in your hand? It seems that there is a thief in Nanbian again..."

He pulled out the knife with a "clop" sound, swung it a few times smoothly, and then threw the knife to the ground with a look of boredom.

"It's too long, too stupid, and not heavy enough. Even he won't know how to use this thing, so you should just play with it..."

As he spoke, he touched Xiao Ran's calf, took out the simple-looking dagger, and casually pulled it out.

Xiao Ran was shocked. He couldn't pull out the knife no matter what before. He didn't expect that the black glasses in front of him made the dagger come out of the sheath with just a slight pull. Was it because the dagger recognized its owner or because his strength was really extraordinary?

?

Or...a combination of both?

The short knife glowed with a cold light, like a smile with black glasses, exuding a temperament that did not take life seriously. Xiao Ran noticed that on the blade of the knife near the blade, there was a traditional Chinese character "Qi" engraved, The shape isn't that quaint, but it looks like it has some age.

Next to the word "Qi", there are some dotted symbols, which seem to be the characters of a certain ethnic minority.

Before he could see clearly, Black Glasses suddenly stood up and took two steps back. Xiao Ran felt his shoulders relax.

Black Glasses smiled and hooked his fingers at him: "Get up, let's have a couple of moves."
