What is courting death!
No wonder things were not over after the death of the Queen of Jingjue. Instead, a black sandstorm suddenly blew up near the Jingjue City.
The ancient city of Jingjue and the ghost cave were buried under the yellow sand.
After thinking about these things, Hu Xiuwu felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that a small country in the Western Regions had so many stories.
"Okay, nothing else, just go and rest. When Lao Meng comes, we will set off."
Hu Xiuwu looked up at Liao Zhong and said, "I want to call my parents and let them know I'm safe."
"This is not possible in principle,"
Liao Zhong felt a little embarrassed, but when he saw Hu Xiuwu looking up at him, there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
Alas, he is a man who responds to soft words but not hard ones, and he is most afraid of children begging him like this.
"Okay, but you are not allowed to tell anyone about Nadutong."
Hu Xiuwu said happily: "No problem."
Then, he wiped away the tears that had just been forced out by the Qi and skipped away.
Liao Zhong: I seem to have been tricked?
Wang Kaixuan approached Liao Zhong with a shameless face and rubbed his fat hands:
"Leader, I think..."
"Get lost. Are you bored because you're full? Why don't you go and cooperate with the company's researchers and do some research?"
"You are busy, I will leave now."
After Liao Zhong and the others had left, he picked up the phone:
"Hey, don't stop Hu Xiuwu from calling later, but be sure to monitor him and don't leak the company's information."
"Yes."
Hu Bayi went to chat with Shirley Yang, Hu Xiuwu called home, and Wang Kaixuan returned to his room and sat alone.
Everyone's life is full of flavor.
·····
A day later, after receiving the transfer order, Lao Meng rushed from the northwest to South China.
In Nadutong Company, the official office location of Lunan District.
Liao Zhong was waiting for Lao Meng at the door.
They are old acquaintances. Lao Meng was introduced by Liao Zhong to Huafeng as a temporary worker.
Liao Zhong hugged Lao Meng's small body and said, "Haha, Lao Meng has been waiting for you."
Lao Meng sighed, "Alas, what a hard life! I just recovered a piece of mirror made with human lives from Gulan County. I'm so glad to see it!"
"Oh, this is what Mr. Hua asked me to bring to you. I found it from a fortune teller named Chen Yulou based on the clues provided by Hu Xiuwu and his friends."
Lao Meng took out an old map and a plastic replica map made by Hua Feng from his pocket and handed them to Lao Liao.
Liao Zhongshang touched the original with his hand and raised his eyebrows: "What is this? Human skin,"
Lao Meng nodded: "According to Chen Yulou, this is the map of King Xian's tomb."
"Wow, if it weren't for the collapse of the sky, it would be difficult for outsiders to break it. What a big mouth you have."
Looking at the translated text on the replica map, Liao Zhong sneered.
Lao Meng reminded him, "This King Xian possesses a treasure like the Zhuchen Pearl, so he is most likely an accomplished cultivator. He must have a reason for saying so, so we should be careful."
Lao Liao sighed, "So I borrowed you for this trip. Without you, I'm not sure if we can go to the southwest to explore the bottom."
Lao Meng waved his hands and blushed: "No, no, I'm not that powerful."
"Okay, I don't know you yet, but you are the natural enemy of Gu Masters."
Old Meng smiled shyly, but did not refute Liao Zhong's words.
Liao Zhong took Lao Meng into the elevator.
After entering the elevator, Liao Zhong directly pressed the button for the top floor.
Lao Meng hesitated for a while and asked Liao Zhong: "Boss Liao, aren't we going to the company?"
"Whatever company you're going to, just go straight away."
Liao Zhong waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
The elevator goes directly to the rooftop.
On the rooftop, a military green helicopter was ready to take off.
Liao Zhong and Lao Meng walked towards the plane against the howling wind stirred up by the wings, with a few noisy voices mixed in the whirlwind.
"Old Hu, I didn't expect that I, Wang Kaixuan, would also take a plane."
"Can you be more ambitious? Look at Xiuwu, he's a little calmer."
"Nonsense, Shuugo is already asleep, how can you not stay calm!"
"God, please bless us."
After jumping onto the helicopter, Lao Liao straightened his messy hair and said to the people on the plane:
"Now that everyone is here, let's go!"
"The target is Zhalong Mountain."
Chapter 39 Zhelong Mountain
Bang, bang, bang.
A group of off-road vehicles drove on the mountain road in the southwest.
Bean-sized raindrops hit the car windows and mixed with the mud spots rolled up by the car in front, constantly forming all kinds of strange patterns on the windows of the car behind.
But it was quickly washed away by the wipers and rain.
Hu Xiuwu sat in the car, listening to the sound of rain, feeling the bumps of the off-road vehicle, and looking at the scenery outside the car which was completely different from that in the north.
In the previous chapter, Liao Zhong called for a helicopter, and a group of people left in the helicopter, planning to use a rope ladder to directly cross the Zhalong Mountain and airdrop into the Insect Valley.
Unexpectedly, before flying over Zhalong Mountain, the helicopter's control system began to malfunction from time to time, and the situation became more serious the further it flew.
In desperation, in order to prevent the plane from crashing, the pilot had to change direction and return to the designated return point in advance.
Since the helicopter can't reach the destination directly, we can only use the stupid method.
Liao Zhong called Hao Yi, the person in charge of Nadutong in the Southwest Region.
Hao Yi was very enthusiastic. When he heard that it was a mission from headquarters, he knew the rules and agreed to help without asking any further questions.
Off-road vehicles were prepared for them, and employees who were familiar with the terrain of Zhalong Mountain were sent to serve as their drivers.
Hao Yi also enthusiastically asked Liao Zhong if he needed any more manpower, and he could send his temporary workers over.
Hu Xiuwu discovered that after hearing Hao Yi's words,
Liao Zhong had a strange expression on his face at the time, as if he heard something dirty coming towards him, and he decisively rejected Hao Yi's kindness.
Finally, they took the car provided by the Southwest Region to Zhalong Mountain.
However, Zhalong Mountain is at a high altitude and the nearby area is not well developed.
Vehicles can only go to the foot of Zhalong Mountain, and the rest of the way has to be traveled on foot.
At the foot of Zhalong Mountain, there is a primitive village that specializes in receiving tourists and taking them to visit snow-capped mountains and forests.
This is also their last place to replenish supplies and rest.
Hu Xiuwu got out of the car wearing a raincoat and was amazed at the scenery he saw.
This village is embraced by mountains. The entire village is made up of thatched houses built according to the terrain. Over a long period of time, it has merged with the surrounding nature.
In the distance, the clouds and mist are connected to the silver top of Zhalong Mountain. The cliffs on the mountainside have become colorful due to the infiltration of impurities and the embellishment of epiphytic climbing plants, like a giant mural depicting the vicissitudes of the ancient earth.
Shirley Yang also praised: "This place is just like a place in a fairy tale."
Shirley Yang was not originally on the team list. After all, Shirley Yang was not an alien.
But when Shirley Yang heard Hu Bayi say that they were going to find Zhuochenzhu, she insisted on going with them.
(Liao Zhong glared at Hu Bayi coldly.)
Considering that Shirley Yang is a descendant of the ancient saint of the Zaklama tribe, she has a natural intuition. In addition, she is a descendant of the Taoist monk who moves mountains and is also very familiar with the mausoleum.
Finally, the researcher at the bunker also told Liao Zhong that he wanted Shirley Yang to join the team to form a control group with Hu Bayi.
After much consideration, Liao Zhong finally agreed to let her join the team.
Hu Xiuwu and Shirley Yang were still in the mood to enjoy the scenery, but Liao Zhong had already started to worry again:
"This mountain is too high. If we climb over it from here, it will probably take a long time."
It was not a good place to talk in the rain, and the car could not enter the village because there was no wide driveway.
Everyone had to unload their equipment from the car, then each person carried a bag on their back, crossed the terraced fields outside the village, and entered the village.
The village was filled with cow skulls inside and outside, and almost every house had a big cow skull hanging on its door.
After they walked through the indigo-covered stone steps, they arrived at the only inn in the mountain village.
Caiyun Inn,
It is called an inn, but in fact it is just a larger, two-story thatched house.
Shaking off the water stains on his raincoat, Hu Xiuwu followed Hu Bayi and walked into Caiyun Inn.
The owner of the inn is a young widow. After her husband died, she opened an inn here with her high school student sister-in-law Peacock to make a living.
The domestic economy has developed very well in recent years, and more people have come to travel, so the two of them are living a pretty good life.
The peacock is wearing Zhuang costume and looks very lively and cute.
Originally, Peacock saw a large group of people coming into the inn and wanted to go forward to help.
