Tomb Raider: I Can Hear Antiques Talk

Chapter 88 Zagrama Valley
The legendary two black ridges were already within sight, and everyone else rushed up to the dunes one after another, looking into the distance with binoculars, their voices and expressions filled with uncontrollable excitement.

At this time, only An Liman was still full of doubts: "Oh, this is probably a devil's city again, what kind of building are you talking about..."

What he said was not completely unreasonable, but Shirley Yang denied this statement.Most of the mirages are due to the refraction of light, those scenes are grotesque, and most of the mirages are virtual scenes, which are somewhat different from the real environment.Besides, whether it is Walter's notes or the holy mountain An Liman heard about, they should all be in this area, which means that these two mountains cannot be fake.

Now that the ancient city of Jingjue is in sight, Hu Bayi told everyone to take a good rest and rectify first, and then set off at night.

Back in the light-proof bunker under the sand dunes, everyone chatted enthusiastically about what they might find at night. After a while, the camp became quiet and silent, and then snoring sounded again and again.

During this period of time, everyone has tensed up, worrying about whether they can find the ancient city of Jingjue, or even whether they can return safely, and now they can finally rest with peace of mind.

But there are exceptions, such as Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang.The two are still discussing some details of the night's operation, including possible dangers and material arrangements.

Xiao Ran leaned over, just in time to hear Hu Bayi say: "So far, apart from Walter's notes and the blurry black and white photo he took, the information we have about the ancient city of Jingjue is really limited. I'm very suspicious now. After so many years, is it possible that the ancient city of Jingjue has been buried by yellow sand again? Is there any water source in the city? And is the tomb of Queen Jingjue in the ancient city of Jingjue? Is she the mural? The kind of monster mentioned in the novel? I am very worried that going in hastily will pose a threat to the safety of us."

Shirley Yang also sighed, and said: "I used to focus on finding the ancient city of Jingjue, but now I am also worried. I don't know if my family members really died in the ancient city of Jingjue. What should I do if I don't find their remains? ? If they did die there, what kind of danger would have taken their lives?"

Looking at the two people who were frowning, Xiao Ran coughed and said: "Your current mood, in our old saying, is timidity close to home. We have been going through life and death all these days just to find this ruined city, and now the front is considered true. If there is any danger, I have to bite the bullet and think about it so much, it doesn't make any sense, I believe that we auspicious people have their own destiny."

He turned to Shirley Yang again: "I can understand your feelings, but think about it in a good direction. If their bodies are not found, then maybe they are not dead, and maybe they were rescued by other passing teams. .In short, you still have to go and see to find out.”

Shirley Yang smiled and said nothing, she knew that the kind of possibility that Xiao Ran said basically did not exist, but it was really useless to think too much.

Hu Bayi patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and said: "You're right, I'm just worrying about it, now we should maintain our energy, no matter what happens at night, we must have enough physical strength to deal with it. have a rest."

Several people briefly chatted about the action plan for the night, and then went back to the sandpit to rest.

In the evening, the sun gradually moved to the west, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert was large, and the air gradually cooled down.Everyone packed up their luggage and equipment, and headed towards the final goal.

The two black ridges seemed to have feet. The team was moving towards them, and they were constantly retreating, but at a slightly slower speed.This reminded Xiao Ran of that classic math problem, Xiao Ming, who had nothing to do, set off first, at what speed per minute, and the same idle and boring brother set off later, at a slightly faster speed than Xiao Ming, and asked when his brother could catch up with him .

"This is called Wangshan running a dead horse. Because the surrounding environment is empty and there is no reference point, the target that does not seem to be far away is actually far beyond your imagination. We have to go." Hu Bayi sighed.

At this time, Sa Dipeng was completely awake from the wine, but his mood was extremely high. He rode a camel back and forth in front of the team, and even led everyone to sing.Seeing that no one responded, he began to admire the beauty of the moonlit night in the desert again, insisting that Shirley Yang take a photo of him as a souvenir.

Xiao Ran said in his heart, no wonder those people in ancient times loved to eat five stone powder.But seeing that Sa Dipeng's face is red and white now, and he is sweating non-stop, it is estimated that there must be something wrong with one of the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and brain...

They walked this way for another four or five hours, and it was not until the middle of the night that the team finally approached the mysterious mountain pass.The two black Zagrama stone mountains are more and more eye-catching under the bright moonlight, like two huge black stones.

According to Hu Bayi's speculation, the two ridges are integrated, and the actual mountain body should be buried under the yellow sand. This mountain pass is just a gap in the original ridge.

Everyone's pace became heavy at this time. An Liman got off the camel and bowed on his knees, murmuring tremblingly: "This is the warning from Queen Jingjue! If we go any further, we will all be buried in the sand. The exquisite queen will be buried with her!"

Hu Bayi pulled him up: "Don't confuse the crowd here, these two mountains have magnetism, we have some metal things on our body, that's why we feel heavy..."

Xiao Ran took out the coin again, and threw it on the ground. The coin stood upright on the sand, flicked it lightly with his hand and only shook it twice, maintaining the upright posture again.

An Liman looked at the coin carefully, and then he was completely relieved: "Hey, there is a cadre here, and the queen's magic power can't help..."

In order to ensure smooth progress, everyone redistributed the load of metal instruments and tools.Hu Ba said to everyone: "Now we are going to march in the mouth of the devil. Everyone must cheer up and don't act without authorization. I will rearrange the team..."

Under his command, Hu Bayi, An Liman and Xiao Ran took the lead, followed by Shirley Yang and Hao Aiguo. In the middle of the team was the second uncle who took care of Professor Chen, followed by Sa Dipeng and Ye Yixin, and at the end of the team was It was the fat man and the big man Chu Jian who were in charge of breaking the rear.

Xiao Ran silently took off the jug containing medicinal wine and hung it on his body, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

The team formed a single file and slowly marched towards the valley.Hu Bayi looked at the two rocky mountains and sighed: "Flying sand hides and general Xuan guards the pass. It's like a god-burial situation that engulfs everything. This kind of Fengshui pattern is said to be able to bury the saints. Yes. But the first saint is probably a legend, and now looking at this mountain, it would not be surprising if there is really a queen hidden behind this mountain. If it weren't for the sandstorm in the morning, we probably wouldn't have found this mountain pass."

Walking in the valley, the dark mountain walls blocked the moonlight, and everyone could only walk forward with weak flashlights and oil lamps.Everyone's watches have stopped, and everyone can only rely on their feelings. It has been nearly three hours since they entered the valley, and it is estimated that it will be dawn in a while.

At this moment, all the camels suddenly became restless and refused to go any further. No matter how much An Liman whipped and whistled, it was useless.

An Liman started to fool around again, saying that the camels along the way had never been in such a situation, and it must be Hu Da who would not let everyone go forward and should go back the same way.

Without saying a word, Xiao Ran took out a cold smoke and lit it up, swung his arms round and threw it out, taking a clear picture of a part of the valley in front of him.
