No matter how long the nightmare is, there will be a moment when I wake up. When my senses return, the first thing I grab is a soft girl's hand.
"Su Lun!" I rolled over, and although my vision was still hazy, I had already hugged him tightly. There were cold stones under my body, and there was a faint chill. My mind was groggy, and I was not completely satisfied yet.
After turning the corner, the last scene of the violent explosion in the ice cave came to mind, and I immediately shivered all over my body, and my eyes immediately opened completely.
The person in his arms was indeed Su Lun, but his eyes were tightly closed and his body was limp and motionless.
"Explosion? Big killer? Goro Kannan? Tenebei Jubei? Where am I now?" Turning his eyes, he was lying on a bare cliff. A dozen steps in front of him, there was an abyss, and there was a thick layer of water below.
The mist slowly rose.
Su Lun groaned, broke away from my hand, and held his head hard, looking like he had a splitting headache.
"Brother Feng, is that you?" She closed her eyes and sat up with difficulty, resting her chin on her knees.
"Of course it's me." I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I couldn't even figure out whether what I experienced was real or fake. I can still survive well after such a violent explosion. Moreover, the "big killer" is a top-level radioactive substance.
Excessive radiation alone is enough to send a hot person to the eighteenth level of hell - there is really no way to explain this.
I stood up and gradually regained my consciousness. I immediately saw a long and narrow stone gap on the opposite side of the cliff, which curved all the way to the distance. All the stones here can emit a weak white light, which is exactly where the ladder to the sky, the round stone house, and the golden egg are.
place, but now there is only a bare cliff, not even a trace of the stone house or golden egg left.
"Where...is this place?" Su Lun opened his eyes and frowned in exhaustion.
I pondered for a while before slowly answering: "It should be at the entrance to the world of Afang Palace, which is the ladder you have been pursuing. Opposite is the 'Lan Valley' full of flying snakes." When I thought of the five-pointed star,
Seeing those weird poisonous insects in the array, I immediately raised my hand to touch the "Blue Blood Luminous Toad", but there was nothing on me and all my pockets were empty.
This time, I was completely awake, and my mood was extremely low: "Without the Luminous Toad, I'm afraid it won't be that simple for the two of us to pass through the stone gap with bare hands."
Su Lun stroked the bullet hole on his trouser pocket and frowned even more.
At this moment, Kannan Goro and Tenjo Jubei must have been shattered into millions of fragments in the explosion of the "big killer", mixed in the ice and flying into the sky. Then, wouldn't the mechanical body of the "Asia Gear" also be shattered into pieces?
, in this case, what about the world outside the mountain? Will it become a ruin that loses power?
Su Lun has always been closely connected with me. When I think of this, her face also turns pale.
"We got into trouble." She sighed quietly.
"It's not us, it's Guannan Goro. With such a sanctimonious pseudo-scholar walking around, big things will happen at any time. We'd better cheer up and leave this place." Now, I feel that my physical condition is recovering, and I don't feel well for the time being.
The damage caused by radiation. But there is still a long way from here to the tunnel exit, and there may be flying snakes in the way, which makes people have a headache just thinking about it.
As long as we are alive, it is the greatest victory. Looking back now, at the moment when the ice exploded, someone rushed over quickly and grabbed Su Lun and I by our collars. I can’t remember anything about what happened after that.
A huge void.
"Who was the one who saved us? Was it Alpha?" I felt more and more confused.
There is an iron cable bridge connecting the cliffs on both sides. I still remember the scene when I first arrived here with Gu Qingcheng, Lao Hu, Uncle Wei, Hong Xiaogui and others. But now Gu Qingcheng has disappeared, and the other three have died violently.
Within the sky, great changes occurred one after another, and everything was unpredictable.
When I stood on the edge of the cliff again, looking at the mist-shrouded places under my feet, I vaguely remembered that Su Lun's singing had come from there. Life is always faced with choices. If the little red devil had not touched the mechanism to open the golden egg, but I had never opened the golden egg.
What will happen if you fall off the cliff?
Su Lun stood next to me and smiled in astonishment: "Brother Feng, is this where you heard my singing?"
I nodded seriously: "Yes, the life rope has been put down. If the golden egg had been opened a few minutes later, I might have reached the bottom of the valley. You know, at that time, I believed that you were down there, and I thought that as long as I fell, I would fall to the bottom.
I will definitely be able to rescue you. Now think about it, there are so many dangers hidden down there, it may even be crawling with poisonous snakes and centipedes..."
Suddenly, a sudden "hissing" sound came into my ears. That sound was too familiar. It was the sound of hundreds of venomous snakes shouting loudly at the same time. There was no mistaking it.
Su Lun reacted more sensitively, raised her head and pointed in the direction of the stone gap: "Brother Feng, you... look!" Because she was so nervous, her tone changed, and she dragged my arm back quickly, all the way to her back.
Until it reaches the stone wall.
There are probably tens of millions of venomous snakes appearing in the stone crevices, stacked up into a snake wall more than five meters high, moving forward as a whole. As far as the eye can see, only bright red snakes can be seen, spitting and spitting randomly.
The venomous snake at the top is jumping continuously, and the stubby wings on both sides of the "seven-inch" position are spread out forcefully, looking extremely excited.
"Will they crawl over the chain bridge?" The spar-golden sword was no longer around, and Su Lun couldn't find any weapon in his eagerness.
I can't answer. Flying snakes are extremely aggressive. We have already experienced this when we first entered the five-pointed star formation. Now, with no protective measures and no effective weapons, we are really in despair. My "
The "Knife of Overreach" was not effective enough to protect the two of us when thousands of venomous snakes attacked us at the same time.
The poisonous snakes came out of the stone gap and immediately scattered randomly. Under our gaze, they swam to the edge of the cliff and rushed down without hesitation. This change was completely beyond the imagination of Su Lun and I. Looking at the five
The meter-high snake wall gradually lowers until the last venomous snake disappears from the cliff.
"God, what on earth is going on?" Su Lun screamed in horror.
"If someone were standing under the cliff, they would probably feel this sudden rain of poisonous snakes - but we can't catch up with this huge luck." I think people on earth with normal thinking ability may not like it.
It smells like a poisonous snake falling from the sky, especially the extremely poisonous Langu Flying Snake.
After the snake formation, another large group of centipedes, toads, spiders, and scorpions swarmed in, all rushing into the cliff. The cliff-jumping feast of this poisonous insect lasted for nearly an hour before it ended. I clearly saw that all the spiders were
It was half a foot long, with black and white human face patterns on its back, and its appearance was extremely terrifying.
Su Lun let out a long breath: "Now, should we leave? I don't know what happened outside the mountain, but it actually caused the poisonous insects to flee under the cliff. I'm really worried that the explosion of the Asian gear will subvert the earth.
Sexual changes——"
From the cliff to the tunnel, from the tunnel to the outside of the mountain, and after several days of bumpy carriages and cars, on the night of the eighth day, Su Lun and I were lucky enough to stay in the best four-star hotel in Xianyang.
After soaking in the hot spring bath, taking a three-hour nap, and enjoying a hearty local meal, we were finally able to sit in front of the roaring fireplace with a glass of red wine. The aroma of red wine from southern France in 1930
Overflowing and sinking into the soft embrace of the famous Italian sofa, I suddenly felt that everything I experienced in the mountains was like someone else's legend. Only Su Lun, "The Knife of Distance" was true.
"Brother Feng, let's drink to our reunion after all the tribulations." Su Lun had a huge peony flower shining brightly on her cotton nightgown, and her smile looked more beautiful than the flowers.
"I mean, this glass of wine should be my apology to you. Su Lun, I will never leave you again. From body to heart, I will never leave you for the rest of my life."
With a "ding" sound, the two glasses clinked together, and the bright red wine rippled gently, just like the two blushes on Su Lun's cheeks.
In fact, we have many topics that should be discussed, but at this moment, the two of them just want to stare at each other silently with the sound of "must peel" wood burning, as if they will never get tired or satisfied if they watch like this for the rest of their lives.
.
Suddenly, Su Lun smiled sweetly: "Brother Feng, I think we should call General Tina. Time waits for no one. If we can start excavation work in the Egyptian desert as soon as possible, we may be able to find the whereabouts of Hero Yang Tian earlier.
.Some things should have ended long ago, while other things should have started long ago.”
This is Su Lun. Even in the midst of intense gazes, he is still able to remember important things and always maintain the calmness and ability of learning from the scalpel.
The phone was on the coffee table next to the sofa. She looked at me, then I looked at her, but no one picked up the phone first.
"Actually, General Tiena's appreciation for you is the most normal thing. You can treat her as a same-sex friend, just like you would treat a tiger, right?" Su Lun had a sly smile on his lips.
"Tiger? The bearded guest of the heroic hero of the Tang Dynasty?" I frowned and sighed, "Forget it, I'd better treat her as an international friend, lest she keep talking a lot of nonsense." I picked up the phone.
, ignoring Su Lun's snickering, dialed Tina's mobile phone number.
In my heart, the tiger has always been an unsolvable mystery. He came from an ancient mirror that traveled through history, and he held the belief that he wanted to "change the destiny of reality" until he finally failed. Perhaps he was the most unwilling before falling into the abyss.
In the end, history has not been changed. Even if all the mature conditions are met, only a small flaw in the last link will ruin all the hard work.
"Brother Feng, what are you thinking about?" Su Lun sipped the red wine and smiled deeper.
She may have misunderstood me, thinking that I was thinking about what to say to Tina. In fact, my mind had wandered thousands of miles away. The phone rang three times, and Tina’s standard American English rang: "Who? Is it the desert invincible?"
Mr. Warrior Style?"
My eyes widened in surprise, wondering when this female general, who had always been bold and free-spirited, learned the power of predicting the unknown: "It is indeed me, how did General Tina expect that?"
She laughed loudly, like a whirlwind suddenly blowing in the desert: "I'm not a prophet, how could I have that kind of special power? A friend of yours just left, and we mentioned you by chance, so I felt something in my heart.
I only asked casually when I saw that the number came from beautiful China.”
It can be seen that she is in a good mood. Compared with Su Lun and I who are in a state of embarrassment, she is naturally very proud of herself.
I followed her words: "Friend? Which one?"
Except for Scalpel and Suellen, I have almost no friends in Egypt. I can't think of anyone who can make Tiena so happy.
She smiled again: "Tycoon."
I couldn’t help but frown. The tycoon’s schedule is busier than that of the President of the United States. How could he have time to visit Tina in Cairo? Unless there is a big business there that can make tens of millions of dollars a day, even if the President of Egypt begs him to come, he will
They may not be willing to go.
"What? Isn't the tycoon your friend? There is also a charming Miss Guan, who is said to have a close friendship with you. We had a great chat, especially when we mentioned you, the tycoon and Miss Guan were both close friends, so
Even my eyes turned red with envy when I saw such an intoxicated look. Feng, you have such a friend, why have you never mentioned it to me? Is it because you are afraid that I will feel ashamed?"
Her words gradually became sharper, with a hint of jealousy inside and outside her words.
My eyebrows furrowed even more. Guan Baoling was the person I least wanted to mention at the moment. However, we met on a narrow road. Even calling Tie Na brought up this topic.
Fortunately, Tie Na changed the subject: "Feng, I haven't called you for a long time. Is there anything I can do for you this time?"
I sighed: "Excuse me? Sorry, I really don't have any topics that interest your country. The 'Sea of Gold' mentioned a few days ago was also delayed due to some other issues. This time it was a private matter.
I’m begging you for help. I wonder if your Excellency, General, can help me?”
As for the topic of the "Sea of Gold", it has been put on the shelf following Yelan's tragic death. I don't know when we will get clues again. In fact, such a huge wealth can really arouse Tiena's interest.
When Tie Na heard the word "personal issues", she immediately cheered up: "Please tell me, I am all ears."
The speech I had prepared was interrupted by the sudden appearance of "tycoon Guan Baoling". There was a slight confusion in my mind. I was silent for a few seconds before starting my own narrative: "General Tie Na, I have received the latest news.
A friend of mine is buried underground on the connection between the Pyramid of Khufu and the Pyramid of Tuchukhan. He is a very important friend, but I don’t know the specific depth and exact location. I hope you can dispatch manpower,
Launch a large-scale excavation operation and help me find him."
She immediately agreed: "Okay, no problem. Can you tell me the approximate depth? I can inform the engineering department to prepare the necessary excavation tools."
I realized that she was thinking too simply. She probably thought it was as simple as digging a canal in the desert. In fact, the difficulty of that project even left me scratching my head.
Su Lun made a face at me and saw my dilemma.
"General Tina, the depth may exceed 500 meters, and even in the worst-case scenario, he will be in -" I didn't allow me to say the number "one thousand meters", she was already shouting in surprise on the phone: "
What? Five hundred meters? Feng, is there nothing wrong with your deep well? Without specific coordinates, you have to dig five hundred meters down?"
I smiled bitterly in silence, and waited until she had finished shouting exaggeratedly before continuing: "Five hundred meters, maybe even a thousand meters. I know this is a huge excavation project, so I came to you. In Egypt
There is no one in the country who can undertake such a project. Only government departments or you personally order it. How about it? Can you help me with this?"
She was silent for a few minutes before hesitantly replied: "Feng, I'll help you, but this will be a sky-high price project, not much easier than rebuilding a big pyramid in the desert."
I just waited for her to say this and immediately replied: "Miss Tina, I will provide twice the total cost of the project. Don't worry, money is not an issue."
She replied with a wry smile: "Twice the funds? Feng, I'll ask the people in the engineering department to make a simple budget and get back to you. After hearing the numbers you just mentioned, I'm already making calculations. Even if the Egyptian treasury is emptied, it will be
You may not be able to afford the cost. The inheritance you inherit from Mr. Scalpel is probably only worth a fraction of the project. Alas, forget it, as long as it is something you want to do, I will go all out.
At worst, we’ll just add another zero to the total deficit of the treasury, and let’s get in touch again.”
After the call ended, I finally felt a little more relaxed, but I also knew that I had passed on this heavy burden to Tie Na. Since I didn't want to develop any relationship with her, I felt a little uneasy after bothering her like this.
