"Oh!"
Gu Jianwo let out a loud cry, and the terrifying power was transmitted along the bamboo slips to the wrapped fire-breathing dragon.
Following a scream, the originally bright flame of life at the Charizard's tail suddenly dimmed.
"Charizard!"
Yu Nian also screamed and hurried to the released Charizard to check its injuries.
"Thank you for your hard work, Gu Jianwo."
Jiang Xiuya, whose expression was completely opposite to Yu Nian's, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the wing of her nose and gracefully came to Gu Jianwo to express her gratitude.
"Let this end here."
Wanqi Kang no longer paid attention to everyone. After Jiang Xiuya returned the ancient snail to Hua Jianming, he took his men and left the battlefield.
"The cemetery ruins we are going to explore this time do not exist in history books, and we don't know whether it is buried history or a cemetery from the same place as the elves..."
Chapter 337: Working Together to Break the Energy Cycle
The cemetery ruins to be explored this time are located in Chang'an City.
After taking a special plane to Chang'an City, everyone took a bus from the airport to an unknown mountain range.
Hua Hua Hua...
Jiang Xiuya checked the map and pointed in a certain direction and said, "Just cross this turbulent river and walk three miles in that direction to reach the cemetery ruins."
Thanks to the existence of the space backpack, the team can easily carry a large number of tools even if there are only a few people accompanying them. Everyone can cross the river and continue to move forward with light equipment.
After walking the three miles mentioned by Jiang Xiuya, the team arrived at a hill that was out of place with the surrounding area.
"Such an obvious place, hasn't it been explored before?" Hua Jianming looked at the hill in front of him with some confusion.
"I'm talking about before the new calendar."
Wanqi Kang smiled and explained, "Because this cemetery ruins did not exist before the new calendar, there are currently two theories about it. One is that it was excavated from deep underground when the landform changed drastically in the first year of the new calendar, and the other is that it came here from an unknown space along with the elves."
"I see."
After getting the answer, Hua Jianming began to observe the hill in front of him.
The reason why it cannot be called a "mountain" is that the overall shape of this hill is like an upside-down pot on the ground, and its shape is round.
"Let's go up and take a look first. I'll leave the safety to Xiao Ming."
The main purpose of Hua Jianming's trip was to protect the safety of Wanqi Kang and other researchers and archaeologists.
Although the hill looks round, it is covered with rocks and weeds and bushes, making it extremely difficult to walk on.
"Huh, this hill doesn't look big, but I didn't expect it to be this high."
Wanqi Kang wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Hua Jianming with envy as he leisurely rode on the ancient sword leopard.
"Do you feel that there is no wind on this hill?"
"It seems so. It is indeed very hot. How long will it take to reach the tomb door?"
"According to the images from the drone, the tomb gate of this cemetery should be at the top of the hill, and it will take about half an hour to get there at the current speed."
"Then let's keep going and try to reach the top before dusk. Everyone, please follow closely and don't fall behind the team."
Instructions were issued one after another, and the team continued to move forward.
In the evening, the team finally reached the top of the hill.
But there was nothing on the top of the hill except for an isolated grave.
An archaeologist said: "If my guess is correct, this tomb is the entrance to the entire tomb."
"That's what we said, but how do we get in?"
Jiang Xiuya asked a question that everyone wanted to ask.
The archaeologists are a bit overwhelmed at this time. If it is a serious tomb door, it only needs to be opened by foreign objects, but what is in front of them is a tomb.
Are you talking about digging graves?
It seems that it is not impossible.
When everyone was at a loss as to what to do about the lonely grave in front of them, the ancient jade fish beside Hua Jianming seemed to have discovered something.
The ancient jade fish flew toward the back of the lonely grave and suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Sure enough, something is wrong."
Hua Jianming drove Gu Jianbao and followed, leaving Gu Jianwo to protect everyone.
"Look, Xiao Ming and Gu Jianbao have also disappeared."
The moment Hua Jianming and Gu Jianbao crossed the center line, the figures of the man and the leopard also disappeared from everyone's sight.
Jiang Xiuya looked at Wanqi Kang and asked, "What should we do then?"
Wanqi Kang thought for a moment and said, "With Gu Jianwo here, safety shouldn't be a problem. Let's wait here for a while. If there's no news within half an hour, we'll go in."
After crossing the dividing line, Hua Jianming and Gu Jianbao discovered a scenery that was different from the outside world. It was still the solitary grave, but it was the other side of the grave.
To be more precise, it was the front of the solitary grave, with strange-shaped fruit on the side of the grave. The tombstone was a tall, large stone with golden words engraved on it.
As for what was written on the tombstone, Hua Jianming was sure that he couldn't understand it.
"who!"
The ancient jade fish and ancient sword leopard pounced somewhere first.
As a black shadow flashed by, a nearly three-meter-tall elf appeared in front of Hua Jianming, followed by a dozen one-meter-tall elves.
Seeing that the elf was planning to attack, the ancient jade fish took the initiative and rushed towards the opponent with blazing flames.
As for the ancient sword leopard, after returning to Hua Jianming's side, it kept looking around, as if looking for something.
When the Ancient Jade Fish defeated all its opponents and returned, the Ancient Sword Leopard was still looking for that unknown existence.
"How about we leave here first?"
……
While everyone was resting in place, a dozen elves appeared out of nowhere and were thrown in front of the expedition team.
"It's the clay giant and the clay man."
Hua Jianming also reappeared in front of everyone with the ancient sword leopard and the ancient jade fish.
"As expected, this big tomb should be from the same time and space as the elves. These clay giants and clay figurines are the guardian elves guarding the cemetery."
Hua Jianming patted the clay giant that had lost its fighting ability on the ground.
The Clay Giant looks like a huge clay giant, with many spiral patterns of unknown meaning on its body. The pattern in the middle looks like a crack, which is sewn together by a button-like part.
Compared with the clay giant, the clay doll is much shorter and looks like a little man made of clay.
"So what should we do next?"
If it is just a cemetery of ancient people, archaeologists can still help a little, but if it is really related to the elves, who knows whether the cemeteries in different time and space are the same as those in ancient China.
"Oh!"
The ancient bamboo slip snail, which had been silent on the side, took action. Bamboo slips fell from its body layer by layer and flew into the sky. Following them were dead leaves flying all over the sky, eventually forming a flying leaf storm.
The ancient jade fish and ancient sword leopard seemed to have been reminded by the ancient worm. Flame vortexes and snow tornadoes were released from them and grew bigger and bigger.
Flying leaf storms, fire vortices and snow tornadoes stood in three directions of the hill, from the bottom of the mountain to the air, forming a terrible and rare spectacle.
No one present dared to make any move in this horrific, catastrophic scene, even though it was released by their own elves.
Hua Jianming did not disturb Gu Jianwo and the others. He just stood there and watched quietly like everyone else.
"Maybe I know something."
One of the archaeologists attracted everyone's attention.
He went on to say: "As far as I know, some cemeteries pay attention to energy circulation. When building the tomb, the owner will use a series of natural scenes or phenomena such as water flow, sunlight, trees, soil, etc. to form the so-called energy cycle."
"As our ancient saying goes, 'wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to metal, metal gives birth to water, and water gives birth to wood.' The so-called five elements give birth to each other in this way..."
Seeing that the white-haired archaeologist was going off topic, Wanqi Kang quickly interrupted him and said, "Mr. Qian, let's get to the point."
The archaeologist named Qian Lao nodded and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, what the three elves in front of us should do is to disrupt the energy circulation surrounding this tomb, so that we can easily break into this tomb."
"Of course, this is just my personal guess. I definitely don't know the details."
Although Mr. Qian said this, what he said was most suitable for the current situation, so everyone brought what Mr. Qian said into the situation and waited for the energy cycle to be broken.
Click!
An inexplicable sound like breaking an eggshell came out of nowhere.
Although no one could see it, everyone understood that something must have been broken, and it was very likely that the energy cycle that Mr. Qian mentioned was broken.
The three elves, Gu Jianwo, Gu Yuyu and Gu Jianbao, also stopped releasing their skills and returned to Hua Jianming.
A breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness to everyone.
"Do you feel it?"
Jiang Xiuya raised her hands elegantly in the air, as if she was sensing something.
"That should be right. There was no wind on the hill from the beginning until just now. The wind blew in after the energy cycle was broken."
At this time, Mr. Qian was convinced of his guess.
Just as everyone was sighing, a violent tremor came from deep in the hilltop, followed by a deafening sound, and the lonely grave in front of them was slowly opened.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was an extremely dark entrance...
Chapter 338 The Story of the Elf World on the Mural
Researchers led by Wanqi Kang and archaeologists led by Qian Lao all looked at each other in surprise. This was the first time they had encountered such a large tomb involving elves.
"Let me arrange it."
As the leader of this operation, Wanqi Kang naturally stepped forward to arrange the work.
