Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 87
Because of Sa Dipeng's fuss, everyone's depressed mood, which was a little discouraged, showed signs of being active again.Seeing that Sa Dipeng's life was not in danger, everyone simply gathered to discuss the next action plan.

Hu Bayi listed two options for everyone. The first one is to go back now and carefully plan the daily ration of water and food. At least it will not be a problem to last to Xiye Ancient City.

The second choice is to bite the bullet and move forward, determined to find Jingjue Ancient City.If you successfully find the ancient city of Jingjue, and if there is still a source of water in the city, then everyone will just make a circle before the gate of hell.

Professor Chen believes that since he has engaged in archaeology, he is ready to dedicate himself to it.But there are still so many young people in the team, including Xiao Ran, who is not an archaeologist himself. As the initiator, he must be responsible for everyone's life and cannot act arbitrarily.

But the current situation is that although it is safe to return, it is a pity that it has been gone for so long after all; but even if it reaches the ancient city of Jingjue, who knows whether the underground water veins have dried up or diverted?So he wants to hear everyone's opinions first.

The fat man was the first to vote by raising his hands: "You said we came all the way, what did we find? Sand, ants, mummified corpses, empty tombs, if this goes on, I'll have to dry them up in the sun. I think when the sun goes down, we will Just turn around and walk back immediately, and go back to Xiye Ancient City to get some water to take a bath."

Hu Bayi asked if anyone agreed with Fatty's proposal, Hao Aiguo thought for a while, and agreed first, thinking that with this experience, he should be better prepared next time.

Ye Yixin looked at Sa Dipeng who was still in a coma, and raised his hand timidly.Seeing Ye Yixin raise his hand, Chu Jian raised his hand without hesitation, Xiao Ran could tell all the way, Chu Jian seemed to have some interest in Ye Yixin, and it was no surprise that he had no brains to support him.

Those who hold the attitude of "we're here" and think that if they miss this time, they may not even be able to reach the current place next time, including Professor Chen, Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, Second Uncle, and of course Xiao Ran.

Seeing that the majority of people decided to move forward, the fat man slapped his legs: "We can't stop letting some comrades express their opinions just because some comrades have gone awry, right?"

He ran to the dizzy Sa Dipeng and asked loudly: "Xiao Sa! Tell me, do you agree to continue walking and go back?"

Sa Dipeng squinted his eyes and muttered: "It's no good... I can't continue..."

Fatty was overjoyed when he heard that: "Look! Let's compare this time..."

"I can't continue drinking... I can't drink anymore..."

Before he could say one by one, Sa Dipeng spoke the whole sentence.Seeing that everyone was holding back their laughter, the fat man played a rogue: "Anyway, he said he would not continue, no matter what it is, it will not continue, one to one!"

The only one who has not made a statement now is the old slick An Liman.This time Xiao Ran was relieved, because An Liman was nothing more than tossing a coin to decide the route.

Sure enough, when Hu Bayi asked An Liman to talk about his attitude, An Liman proposed to hand over the decision to Hu Da.

He took out his torn blanket, knelt on the ground with his palms facing the sky as before, closed his eyes and began to mutter.

Seeing that 10 minutes had passed, although An Liman stopped talking, he still frowned and remained motionless.The fat man said impatiently: "Is this still going to end? Hu Da is not at home, is he?"

Xiao Ran was also bored, so he took out a five-cent coin and said, "Fat Brother, maybe Hu Dahui will turn into a coin, and flipping heads and tails can determine the way forward. Let's try it first, and keep going if the word faces up. If the painting is facing upwards, it means going back the same way.”

Fatty felt that idleness was idleness, so he agreed to Xiao Ran's proposal.Xiao Ran smiled secretly and said, "I'll show you something fun!"

He tossed the coin high, and it is said that it is not far from the magnetic mountain now, and the coin will not appear heads and tails, but will go straight into the sand.He thought happily, waiting for everyone to exclaim when they saw this wonderful scene.

The coin fell to the ground with a "pop", and it was painted face up.

The fat man clapped his hands: "Haha! We can retreat tonight!"

Xiao Ran was confused by this scene, and quickly waved his hands: "Don't take it seriously! How can such a joke! We're just playing around!"

He put away the coins and ran up to the top of the sand dune, and looked around carefully, but he couldn't see the black line that should appear on the horizon of the black magnetic mountain at all.

Haven't you reached the right point where you can easily see the black shadow of Cishan at the junction of the sky and the earth?
He turned around a little anxiously, but saw that the people under the rainproof cloth were looking at him with a little surprise, while An Liman pointed at him with puzzled eyes.

He quickly ran down the sand dunes, returned to everyone, and asked hesitantly, "What's the matter? What do you want me to do?"

Hu Bayi stroked his chin and said, "An Liman said that the oracle told him to follow your instructions..."

Xiao Ran was confused by this statement, he turned to An Liman: "Listen to me? Which one are you acting in again? Do you think I look like Hu Da?"

An Liman also shook his head helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense! Hu Da didn't let me act! God will listen to you, if I talk nonsense, I will let you go back..."

Xiao Ran is completely blinded now, how should he listen to him?

"Honorable Bayan, the voice of the soul tells me..." Locking Soul Ding Lingzhu spoke.

Xiao Ran was upset, and said to him: "Stop talking about the voices of those souls, tell them that we will move our nest at night and not ride on their heads..."

"No, no, noble Bayan, is a new soul, furious, greedy, and unwilling, like a hungry wolf that has lost its lamb and fell into a deep valley..."

Could it be that those grave robbers just died in Jingjue Ancient City?
"Where are they going..."

After listening to Suohun Dinglingzhu's words, Xiao Ran got up and walked to the sand dune, followed by Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and An Liman.

"Let's try walking in that direction, it should be the right direction." Xiao Ran said.

He is not completely sure now, but now he can only try his luck other than going back the same way.

A gust of wind blew, and the yellow sand was thrown all over the sky.Everyone hurried back to the campsite and took all protective measures.No matter which direction you go tonight, you have to get through this sandstorm first.

The sandstorm didn't last very long this time, and after about an hour or so, the wind subsided slowly.

The sand dunes that had just been climbed before also moved a few inches to the side at this time, and the camp had to be adjusted again.Xiao Ran boarded the sand dune again, and looked in the direction that Suohun Dinglingzhu said.

Under the sun, at the junction of the sky and the earth, a faint black line appeared.He suddenly became excited, and quickly called Shirley Yang and Hu Bayi to come up.

Hu Bayi focused carefully with the binoculars and handed the binoculars to the other two excitedly.

It was a black mountain, like a black dragon resting on a pile of gold coins.In the middle of the black mountains, there is a small depression, which must be the valley in Walter's notes.

An Liman also climbed up the hill to have a look around, pointed to the sand not far away and said: "Shuo Suo! The Du dark river is flowing forward. The wind and sand just now made Suo Suo come out!"

At this moment, everyone looked at Xiao Ran with inexplicable admiration.
