Shi Guoyuan told Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Yuquan that the man's name was Zhan Hongyun and he was also one of his students.
It's just that his personality is a bit strange, he is very silent, and he doesn't like to communicate with outsiders. He even didn't speak to Shi Guoyuan and others more than ten times along the way.
These few people met Xia Xiaoyu and the others at night. To be precise, they were attracted by the fire raised by Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Yuquan.
"I never expected that I would meet you in this barren mountain. It's a real pleasure to meet you."
After introducing himself, Shi Guoyuan and Xia Xiaoyu started chatting about their daily life.
"Xiao Xia, I think you are travel companions, right? Where are you planning to travel this time? If we are on the way, we can go together."
He has keen observation, even though Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Yuquan did not bring any tools, and the beards on their faces had not been shaved for a long time, and even their clothes were dirty and smelly.
However, he could feel that the two of them were probably the kind of people who traveled on poverty, because he did not see the decadence that a tramp should have in Xia Xiaoyu and the other two.
Instead, I saw a very strong self-confidence.
Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Yuquan were just on their way, and after entering the plateau, they were either in mountainous areas or in wastelands. It could be said that they had not showered for several days, and it was impossible for them not to smell.
As for Xia Xiaoyu, he doesn't want to shave off his beard. In this case, it can be regarded as a disguise, at least it can be unrecognized at first glance.
Although the two of them were dressed like tramps, Shi Guoyuan did not think that they were tramps. From the material of their clothes, it could be inferred that they were children from a wealthy family who went hiking.
However, Lei Panpan and Shi Qizhi were full of contempt for the two of them.
Lei Panpan even covered his nose, staying far away from Xia Xiaoyu and the others, his eyes filled with disgust.
"Kunlun." Xia Xiaoyu fiddled with the burning firewood.
"Kunlun?"
As soon as Xia Xiaoyu's words came out, the people in the expedition team suddenly looked at each other.
Yang Xing, who had been ignoring Xia Xiaoyu and the others, couldn't help but look over, very curious.
"It can't be such a coincidence, is it? You won't be going to Kunlun too, right?" Chen Yuquan asked with a slight frown.
"It's such a coincidence that we are indeed going to Kunlun."
Shi Guoyuan nodded and explained.
It turned out that his friend told him that there was a major archaeological discovery at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, which seemed to be an ancient tomb with some ancient documents and bones inside.
That's where they went to investigate. If they could really confirm the existence of immortality elixirs in the world, it would be a huge breakthrough.
Therefore, they couldn't wait to travel all night.
Unfortunately, their car broke down halfway through the journey, and everyone could only walk with it.
"Um?"
Xia Xiaoyu noticed that when talking about this incident, Shi Guoyuan's eyes flashed with fear, and it was obvious what had happened.
But since others didn't tell him, he didn't ask. After all, everyone has privacy.
"Since we all have the same destination, let's hike to Kunlun together!" Chen Yuquan smiled and glanced at Yang Xing and Zhan Hongyun.
"on foot?"
Everyone in the expedition team was stunned for a moment.
It's a long way from Kunlun, but these two people want to walk there. Are they crazy?
They looked at Xia Xiaoyu and Chen Yuquan with strange eyes.
At this time, they finally knew why the two men were so ragged.
"Go to rest early!"
Xia Xiaoyu stood up with a calm expression, then moved to a random place and closed his eyes to rest.
"Just sleep like this?"
Everyone in the expedition team looked at Xia Xiaoyu, all dumbfounded.
Seeing that Xia Xiaoyu was resting, the members of the expedition team stopped talking, set up tents, and began to rest as well.
Deep in the mountains and old forests, the darkness becomes even more profound. The occasional sounds of animals add an unspeakable terror to the silent night.
Xia Xiaoyu had his eyes closed and his breathing was smooth. He seemed to be sleeping, but his ears were keenly monitoring the surrounding disturbances.
Among the five members of the Kunlun expedition team, Shi Guoyuan looked kind-hearted, but Xia Xiaoyu knew that this person was not telling the truth. They definitely did not go to Kunlun for archeology, but for another purpose.
There is also a man named Zhan Hongyun. Others think he is taciturn, but Xia Xiaoyu feels that he is the most dangerous person because he has been secretly observing everyone's activities.
It was so quiet at this time that even the smallest sounds could be heard.
However, Xia Xiaoyu suddenly opened his eyes, frowning, showing an unbelievable look.
As he listened, he was shocked to find that he could only hear the heartbeats of six people.
In other words, one person is missing.
However, it didn't happen to him that anyone left.
What's going on?
How could this be possible? Doesn’t that person have a heartbeat?
How could he still walk without a heartbeat?
Xia Xiaoyu's eyes widened, feeling that all this was too incredible. He turned to look at the expedition team's tent, a look of vigilance flashing in his eyes.
This group of people is very extraordinary. Just Zhan Hongyun is hard to see through.
"Did I hear wrongly?"
Xia Xiaoyu thought secretly, gathered his mind again, and listened to each one one by one.
Dong Dong...
Everyone else's heartbeats were normal. Chen Yuquan's heartbeat was extremely strong, but when it was Zhan Hongyun's turn, he was stunned not to hear a single heartbeat.
There is no heartbeat, there are only two explanations.
One is a peerless master with unique skills who has practiced the ultimate turtle breath technique, which can slow down the heartbeat or stop it from beating. However, this has a time limit. Within the specified time, the heartbeat will beat once!
The second is that Zhan Hongyun is a dead man!
However, of these two inferences, only the first is reasonable, while the second is completely inconsistent with common sense.
A dead person can never walk unless he is a zombie.
Zombies only exist in movies and do not exist in reality.
Therefore, Xia Xiaoyu still believes in the first explanation.
Zhan Hongyun is a peerless master, and he has disguised himself. Otherwise, how could he be so young?
Just when Xia Xiaoyu was thinking about where Zhan Hongyun came from, there was movement in Zhan Hongyun's tent.
Later, Xia Xiaoyu saw Zhan Hongyun walking out of the tent.
In the darkness, Xia Xiaoyu, who has super night vision ability, looked around after seeing Zhan Hongyun adjusting the scarf on his face.
After seeing that no one was moving, he ducked into the dark woods.
"What is he doing?"
Xia Xiaoyu frowned, pondering whether he should follow him to find out.
If someone goes to the toilet, it would be a bad idea to follow him, and we already know that the person is a woman.
Then, it would be even less possible for him to follow.
However, Xia Xiaoyu couldn't restrain his curiosity in the end and followed him.
