Chapter 328

"Not the same world?" Zhang Yu's heart was beating wildly and he asked with a trembling voice: "Are you serious?"

Seeing his appearance, Mei Qian didn't know what to say, and suddenly lost interest in peeling off his skin.

He opened his mouth, could only say "you guess", shrugged his shoulders, and quickly took the initiative to cut down the tree to clear the way.

Zhang Yu looked at his back that seemed to be running away, but his mind began to get confused.

He didn't think that Mei Qian was just talking casually. Since the other party spent so much energy to get in, there must be amazing secrets hidden in Hengshan.

I decided to find some time and ask carefully.

In fact, I don’t blame him for believing whatever others say now. It’s really that his three views have been shattered all over the place, and he can’t even pick them up now...

It is not easy to walk in the dense forest without roads.

This tropical rainforest-like environment, sometimes in a basin where air is more difficult to circulate, is even more difficult.

There are no traces of civilization, there are slippery moss, mud and tree roots everywhere, and all you can smell in your nose is the stench of decay.

Even though the basin looks bright and cloudy from above, it seems to be shrouded in fog.

Only when you get deeper into it will you realize that those mist-like things are not just embellishments of the natural environment.

It was better for them to walk along the edge, but there were always places where trees blocked the sky. At this time, Mei Qian would remind his companions to put on gas masks.

Yes, those white fogs are all murderous miasma. Although most of them are gathered in the center of the basin, which seems to be relatively far away from them, they don't dare to be careless at all.

What's even more annoying is that the bugs here fly around you in swarms, sometimes landing on your face, and they always want to get into your eyes. It's really annoying.

Of course, only Yan Dong in the team has this problem.

At first, he thought everyone was the same and was still regretting it silently. He should have taken a bath when he camped by the river yesterday. It might be better if he didn't have such a strong smell.

But then I thought about it, even if I came in clean, I would still be covered in sweat after taking a few steps.

He could only accept his fate and continue to drive away mosquitoes with his hands.

But all this effort is in vain, because those who open the road need to use knives to cut off branches and broad leaves, which will stir up countless swarms of insects.

But no one cared about his state at all, and it seemed that little troubles would never be eliminated.

In the harsh winter, I finally realized what it means to be struggling.

But it didn't take long for him to realize something was wrong.

The smell of other people in the same team is not much better, but why, neither Ning Chi nor Zhang Yu seems to be as troubled as him.

What's even more outrageous is Mei Qian, who didn't even wear a gas mask.

Although Yan Dong knew that he, who was obviously here to monitor the operation, was not well received by his teammates, especially his colleague Zhang Yu, so he kept pretending to be bored for so many days in the mountain.

However, he didn't care much at this time. He grabbed Zhang Yu beside him and asked his doubts.

Unexpectedly, the other party just smiled and did not explain.

However, Ning Chi, who was passing by, whispered to him to follow Mei Qian closely.

Yan Dong was naturally puzzled, but after almost eating a mouthful of bugs again, he couldn't help it any longer and hurriedly quickened his pace, following Mei Qian closely, even to the point of following suit.

In his impression, Mei Qian was not a good person, especially in the past few days since he entered the mountain. He had always done something wrong. He had watched the quarrel between Mei Qian and Zhang Yu several times, and it seemed that he had a bad temper. He was worried at first.

Being scolded and even targeted.

Unexpectedly, he only glanced at him lightly and showed no resistance.

What surprised him was that when he walked next to Mei Qian, he couldn't actually see the bugs.

He couldn't help but turn around gratefully to express his gratitude to Ning Chi.

Seeing the friendly smile on the other party's face, he couldn't help but think of Zhang Yu, who had always treated him coldly, and felt even more confused.

I don’t know what I did wrong to offend him. We are colleagues, but our attitude is not as close as that of a bodyguard...

The area of ​​this basin was much larger than expected. After having some lunch, they only took a short rest before continuing on the road.

Finally, it was only in the evening that I walked out of the forest and came to an open area, finally getting rid of the sweltering gas mask.

Ning Chi suddenly shouted: "Look..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then followed the direction of his finger and discovered something unusual.

It turns out that the cliff ahead is very different from what we saw before. Although it is still covered with moss, there are many more artificially carved grottoes.

Some are large and some are small, and they are densely packed and very spectacular, but because of the green cover, they are even more weird.

"Is this a ruin?"

And at the moment when he lost consciousness, Ning Chi had climbed up to the nearest grotto, and used a dagger to clean up the moss on it, revealing the true face of a sculpture.

Then there were several sounds of inhalation, and Zhang Yu even exclaimed: "This is not..."

"Does it look familiar?" Mei Qian smiled.

Yes, the shapes of these statues are actually very familiar to Zhang Yu.

It was no different from the ones he had seen in the Xiadu Underground Palace, and he even kicked one into pieces.

"Sure enough, things are not simple." He couldn't help but glance at Mei Qian again: "Is this related to the altar?"

"It's not a coincidence anyway." Mei Qian smiled.

"That's not right. This place also belongs to the Chu State, right? Isn't it already confirmed that Wushan is a relic of the Warring States Period? Why does another one appear?"

"Who stipulates that only one relic can exist in a country?" Mei Qian stared at the little ghost statue and sighed longly...

Although it feels awkward to have such scary statues staring around me, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully.

But now it was getting dark all around, and they couldn't find a more ideal camping spot.

In addition, everyone was very tired, so after some discussion, we decided to spend the night here.

They climbed into the largest grotto at the top of the cliff one by one. They found that it was enough for ten people to rest. The dome and the ground were made of flat stones. Except for the thick dust, there was nothing like what can be seen everywhere outside.

Reptiles and weeds.

In addition to the fact that the statue in the center is not covered with moss, it looks even more ferocious, and it is a bit difficult to get in and out. After a little tidying up, the dead wood picked up below was lit on fire, and sleeping bags were spread around it. This place became a dry, insect-free and safe place.

A warm refuge.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It seems that you are not tired now that you have a place to live. After the bonfire was set up, everyone started cooking dinner and talking happily. After all, the appearance of these grotto statues,

It was better than walking into the mountains and forests all day long. At least it meant they were closer to their destination.

People are weird. When wandering around, everyone is worried about this and that. They are afraid that they will never return like the previous expedition team, and they are also afraid that they will get lost in the mountains and cannot find their place.

Now that we are getting closer and closer to the center, knowing that we will face a more dangerous situation, we are not as nervous as before.

This is true even for Mei Qian.

Today's dinner is a steaming pot of noodles.

The one who cooks is Ning Chi. After working with Mei Qian for so long, his cooking skills have been honed.

There is absolutely no oil and green vegetables, and it is not convenient to pick wild mushrooms at this time. Canned beef is poured on it, and it is also very delicious.

For some reason, canned meat, which everyone hates, tasted delicious tonight.

Mei Qian suddenly stared at Ning Chi's wrist and asked, "Did you change your watch?"

"Yeah, I saved up money for a long time to buy it, isn't it good?" Ning Chi waved his arms proudly, revealing a fashionable sports watch.

"You're pretty good at shopping." Mei Qian casually glanced at Yan Dong who was sucking noodles...

Mei Qian was awakened by the chirping of birds. When he slowly opened his eyes, he found that the bonfire had long been extinguished.

Looking outside the cave, it was already bright. He sat up in excitement.

According to the order of vigil, he should be on the last shift.

Maybe he was too tired after a long day yesterday, so he fell into a deep sleep, and for some unknown reason, Zhang Yu in front of him didn't wake him up.

After taking a quick glance, I found that Ning Chi and Yan Dong were still sleeping peacefully in their sleeping bags, and they were surprised when they didn't see Zhang Yu.

Just as he was about to go take a look, he saw Zhang Yu crawling back holding dry firewood.

"Why didn't you call me?" Mei Qian asked.

"Seeing that you slept soundly, I'm not sleepy anyway, so I'll take over for you." Zhang Yu smiled, placed the dry firewood next to the fire, and then waved to the sky: "Come, follow me."

Then he left the cave again.

Mei Qian was a little confused, but out of trust in her friends, she still followed.

After his feet landed on the ground, Mei Qian was about to ask when he heard Zhang Yu ask: "Have you been here before?"

Mei Qian was stunned and just shook his head.

"Then how do you know the way in?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"I said I dreamed it, do you believe it?" Mei Qian's tone was full of helplessness: "It's not like you don't know my situation clearly. You can't remember many things at all."

Although after the system upgrade, he recovered a lot of memories, this kind of thing must not be admitted in front of Officer Zhang.

He refused to acknowledge it, but Zhang Yu sighed and pointed at the base of the little ghost statue, with a half-smile on his face: "Here, can you explain to me what this is?"

Mei Qian's eyelids suddenly twitched and she looked in the direction he pointed. Then she couldn't control her expression anymore, and the muscles on half of her face were shaking non-stop.

I saw that the base of the statue was actually engraved with several large characters.

Mei Qian came here for a visit...
