Tomb Raiders start to enter the Lu Palace

Everyone couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat, Hao Aiguo was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs were so frightened that his legs went limp, Hu Bayi had to help him up from the ground.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, go!" Chen Hao instructed.

These snakes have extremely high IQs, and they know how to hide under the sand, but he didn't find them after checking just now, which almost cost Hao Aiguo's life.

No one dared to delay, they hurriedly led the camels and left the valley quickly.

After entering the valley, a huge city towering in the darkness appeared in front of you. It was a dilapidated and desolate scene. There were broken walls, broken stones and tiles everywhere. Most of the whole city was buried in the ground. In the yellow sand.

The scale of the city is very huge, more than three times larger than the Xiye Ancient City I saw before. It looks dilapidated and desolate, so it is not difficult to imagine the prosperity and grandeur at that time!

Xiye Ancient City is said to be able to house 3 people at that time, and based on the size of this Jingjue Ancient City, it can house at least 9 people. This shows how powerful Jingjue Kingdom was at that time!

Sydney said with emotion: "There are huge magnetic mountains around this city, and it is difficult for planes to fly over it. Moreover, it is located in the depths of the desert. really exist in the world.”

Professor Chen smiled and said: "It really pays off, patriotism. We have studied the Westernization for decades, but we never thought that we would actually see this mysterious ancient city in our lifetime. Today is to bury my old bones here, I am also willing."

Hao Guo said excitedly: "Hehe! Yes, teacher. I have been studying Westernization with you since I was a child. I have always dreamed of finding this legendary ancient city one day. I didn't expect our wish to finally come true today."

The rest of the archaeological team couldn't hide their joy. It was their biggest dream in their life to find this legendary and mysterious ancient city.

There is so little information about the deserts of the Western Regions that foreign people do not believe that the Western Regions had a glorious past.

Today, they are fortunate to see this legendary ancient city. If they can bring some materials back, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world and add valuable historical materials to the vacant Western Regions in China.

But now it was getting dark, so Chen Hao took everyone to find a relatively well-preserved building in the ancient city to rest for the night.

Everyone put down their equipment, and Chen Hao, Hu Bayi, Fatty and others with good physical strength went to the ancient city to find water, while the rest built a fire and cooked on the spot.

Sydney is very interested in this ancient city, saying that she wants to find water with everyone, and get familiar with the environment of the city by the way.

It's hard for everyone to refuse, and besides, her physique is much better than others, so there is no rush to rest, it doesn't matter if you take her with you.

After leaving the camp, the fat man couldn't wait to say: "Miss Yang, this time we successfully took you to the Jingjue Ancient City. According to the previous agreement, you have to pay us double the wages after you go back. That's 2 dollars per person. , don’t forget this.”

Hu Bayi said from the side: "That's good, that's good, none of our brothers have a family yet, and we have no parents, no mothers, no wives, so we just count on this little money to live on."

Chen Hao kept walking in front, and after listening to what the two said, he nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, the cash will be settled in no time when we go back!"

The small bungalow they are currently renting really makes him feel too uncomfortable to live in. If he wants to buy a small courtyard house after returning home, so as to save three people from squeezing into a small bungalow, that is really too hard. . .

Seeing that they all fell into the eyes of money, Xueli smiled and said: "Don't worry, you won't lose a penny of money, and it will be settled in seconds after you go back."

Everyone looked at each other with happy smiles on their faces. Last time, the money was spent so quickly that they had to work hard to help others before they could enjoy the life of the rich. Well, after this trip, they can finally go back and rest for a year or so.

The fat man muttered: "It's not too bad. Coming to this place where the birds don't shit, I don't eat or drink and I have to bask in the sun every day. It's half my life. return!"

While everyone was talking, they came to a huge stone pagoda, and with a flashlight, they saw that the pagoda was six stories high, and the bottom floor was buried in the yellow sand, only the five floors above were exposed.

Chapter 368 Returning to the Peak

As soon as he approached the ancient pagoda, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Sign in successfully, your soul has been restored to advanced level!"

Soul: Advanced [Significantly increase the resistance to hallucinations and soul attacks.Simultaneously improve mental strength, willpower, and memory]

"Ding! Trigger a new mission, unveil the veil of the Queen of Excellence, and complete the mission to get a mysterious reward!"

"This mission..." Chen Hao muttered to himself.

Letting him, a big man, uncover the veil of a female corpse who has been dead for thousands of years, this system does not seem to be serious no matter how you look at it. . .

However, since the system proposed this task, it is still a mysterious reward, so Chen Hao will naturally have to complete it, but he is looking forward to the mysterious reward.

Everyone stopped under the mysterious black tower, and watched carefully with their flashlights.

The body of the black tower is a little slanted, and the light from the flashlight cannot be refracted. Obviously, the black stone of the Zagrama Mountains is also used.

Everyone looked up layer by layer, and found that at the top of the tower, there was a round stone ball resembling a coconut, and it was carved like an eyeball, making the whole stone look like a wide-eyed eye. The eyeballs looked very strange.

The walls of the stone pagoda are engraved with densely packed (ghost cave texts). People don't know those words, but they just think it looks weird.

"This thing...why does it look like an eyeball to me, and it's still staring into the distance." The fat man muttered.

Sydney explained: "It's just a big eye, which is the totem of the Jingjue people. Look at their murals and statues, the eyes are all carved very big, which symbolizes the worship of the eyes by the ancient Jingjue people. They think There is something powerful about the eyes."

She looked at the ancient pagoda again, and said: "The workmanship of this ancient pagoda is quite exquisite. It has inherited the style of the ancient Chinese people, and it is relatively well preserved. There must be many things worth studying inside. It is of great research value for the professors, and I will ask them to come over and take a good look at it tomorrow morning."

"What's so good about a broken tower? Let me see, let's search the entire ancient city tomorrow to see if we can find any leaks." The fat man suggested.

Hu Bayi patted him and said: "Forget it, little fat. Do you have so much energy? The area of ​​this ancient city is too large, and everything is buried in the yellow sand. You can find the Year of the Monkey with a sapper shovel? "

Everyone was busy looking for water sources, and after walking around the huge ancient city for half a circle, they found that there was not even a well.

Sydney proposed to look under the ancient city. Most of the ancient city is buried under the yellow sand, so there should be a source of water underneath.

Everyone was thirsty, and the people on the archaeological side were also waiting to drink water. Naturally, there was no objection. Under Chen Hao's suggestion, they entered a temple for worship and found a secret passage leading to the ground.

The secret passage continued downwards, and everyone walked for almost half an hour to the end. This is a huge underground cave with a huge underground river beside it.

The underground river was tens of meters wide, and the river was rushing down with a roar. As soon as everyone approached, they felt that most of the heat from their bodies was dissipated. This underground cave seemed extremely cool.

"This is the Kongque River that seeps into the ground. Unexpectedly, after thousands of years, the Kongque River has not dried up, but the ancient city of Jingjue has long been submerged in yellow sand." Sydney said with emotion.

Everyone rushed to the river, washed their faces with cold water, and then took out all the kettles they were carrying to fill them with water.

Sydney was afraid that the underground river water would be polluted, so she took out a few pills from her backpack and asked everyone to add them to the water bottle and filter them, saying that they could cleanse the water and make people healthy after drinking it.

It took more than an hour, and after finally filtering the water in all the kettles, everyone returned to the camp with water.

After returning to the camp, everyone told the archaeological team what they found. Professor Chen was so excited that he wanted to go to explore immediately, but it was already late at night, and everyone advised him to go again tomorrow.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, they hurried to the black stone pagoda and started archaeological research.

Professor Chen said pleasantly: "It seems that my speculation is correct. The source of the giant-pupil stone statues unearthed in various places comes from this exquisite ancient city, and the material is the black stone of Zagrama Mountain!"

Sa Dipeng asked curiously: "Professor, what is this stone tower used for? Why is there nothing in it, only a statue?"

Professor Chen explained: "This is used by the Guidong people to show their status. The statues on each floor correspond to different statuses, and the higher the level, the higher the level. Now what we see on this floor are livestock, I guess There is another layer at the bottom, which should be the evil spirits of hell."

When everyone heard what the professor said, they immediately became interested, and they all wanted to go up to see who the people with higher status on the stone tower were.

Everyone hurried to the second floor of the stone tower, and found that the statue in the middle of the stone tower was a statue of an ordinary person.

Professor Chen explained: "These are the ordinary people in the ancient city, whose status is only higher than that of livestock. I guess if they go up, they should be the upper-middle-class nobles."
