The King of Xiuxianjuan returns to modern times and becomes a landlord
Chapter 22 Arrival
Ying Ni and her companions finally arrived at a mysterious, vast expanse. Resembling an ancient altar, it was surrounded by strange stone pillars and carvings, exuding an ancient and solemn aura. However, aside from Ying Ni, the rest of the group clearly endured a difficult journey. Their clothing was tattered and torn, and their bodies bore minor scars, testament to the hardships and challenges they had endured during their expedition. Overall, they appeared disheveled and exhausted, yet their eyes shone with a resolute and unyielding spirit, as if no matter what difficulties they encountered, their resolve to forge ahead could waver.
"We've finally arrived." Ying Li's eyes were fixed on the open space in front of her that was engulfed by flames. Her heart was filled with firm belief, and she was sure that she had successfully reached the destination.
"Finally, we're here!" Shan Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure on him along the way wasn't due to a lack of ability, but rather the exhaustion of traversing the dense forest for days on end. Besides assisting Ying Ni, the nation had assigned him another mission: to conduct a major expedition. The nation had previously conducted several expeditions, but the results had always been disappointing. This time, Ying Ni proposed conducting a spirit-entombment mission in Shennongjia, and several national leaders agreed to add several professors of botany, chemistry, and biology to the expedition. These experts undoubtedly provided strong academic support for the entire expedition. Their expertise and rich experience enabled the team to handle various complex situations with greater composure, greatly increasing the mission's success rate.
Shennongjia, this enigmatic primeval forest, truly deserves to be called a forbidden land. In this vast natural treasure trove, the expedition team experienced countless thrilling adventures and adventures along the way. Deep in this sacred natural area, completely untouched by modern civilization, they collected numerous precious and rare plant specimens. These plants are not only diverse in variety, but many are rare and seldom seen elsewhere, making them of great scientific research value.
Even more surprising and exciting, in this mysterious forest, they were fortunate enough to witness the beauty of several species of animals under national first-class protection. By chance, they encountered a charming giant panda, leisurely nibbling bamboo, completely unaware of human presence. Then, amidst dense undergrowth, they spotted a Siberian tiger. This mighty beast moved silently through the trees, leaving one breathless and captivated.
They also encountered a nimble leopard and lively golden monkeys. The leopard's stripes shimmered golden in the sunlight, while the golden monkeys leaped nimbly from branch to branch, seemingly showcasing their unparalleled agility. These precious animals lived freely in the pristine forests of Shennongjia, a paradise they considered their own.
However, since these animals are all national first-class protected animals, the team members cannot take any action against them, let alone disturb their normal lives. Therefore, whenever they encounter these animals, the team members can only choose to avoid them carefully and try not to make any noise to avoid disturbing them.
The creatures inhabiting this particular area appear more resourceful and perceptive than those in surrounding areas. They seem to be acutely aware that humans pose no threat to their lives, and thus often tease these uninvited visitors. For the professors dedicated to biological research, this teasing and disruption is a necessary condition for gathering more data and information about these species. Consequently, the entire expedition team feels somewhat passive and helpless, as if being led by these clever creatures. They are forced to constantly adjust their routes and plans to accommodate the animals' ranges and habits, ensuring the smooth progress of their expedition.
Despite the numerous difficulties and challenges, this expedition was undoubtedly an unforgettable and invaluable experience for the team members. They not only collected numerous rare plant specimens but also witnessed the unique beauty of many rare animals. These memories will become some of the most precious ones in their lives, treasured forever in their hearts.
As they reached the core area, they were suddenly enveloped by a mysterious white mist. With the exception of their team leader, Ying Ni, everyone else quickly donned protective masks to prevent inhaling potentially harmful gases until the mist gradually dissipated.
Ying Ni gave orders for the investigators to quickly and carefully clear the area around the altar. Then, she stepped into the sacred area of the altar alone.
The traces of lightning on the ground were still clearly visible, as if silently telling of the endless power of nature. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, concentrating on feeling everything around her.
Although thousands of years have passed, the aura left by Emperor Yan of the Shennong clan still lingers in every corner of the forest, especially in this place. This ancient and mysterious aura is particularly strong, as if it can travel through time and space and resonate with her soul.
"How do you feel? Are you okay?" Shan Zhizhi saw Ying Ni open her eyes and hurried forward to ask.
"Yes, wait a moment. I'll set up the altar, and then we just need to wait for the right time." After confirming, Ying Li gave a positive answer. "By the way, how is Mr. Wei doing? Can he still hold on?"
"I'll contact him right away to find out the latest news about Mr. Wei's condition." Shan Zhizhi immediately started to contact him.
After a while, Dan Zizhi learned about Mr. Wei's condition. Now Mr. Wei's vital signs are basically stable, but the medical team cannot guarantee the follow-up situation.
"Niannian, Mr. Wei's vital signs are stable now, but the doctors can't guarantee how long they will remain stable."
"okay, I get it."
Knowing time was running out, Ying Ni produced a Qiankun treasure bag, from which a round object flew out. Ying Ni formed hand seals and cast a spell, and the pie-sized disc gradually grew larger, reaching the size of the altar. She slowly lowered the disc, stirring up a cloud of dust as it fell.
As the dust slowly cleared, like time gently lifting a thick veil, an ancient and mysterious scene gradually came into view. Sunlight penetrated the mist, dappled across this time-forgotten land, coating everything with a faint golden glow.
As far as the eye can see, a circular altar stands quietly, like an ancient emblem left behind by Mother Earth as she gently nodded. Its outline is clear and solemn, and each stone seems to carry a thousand-year story, quietly telling of the glory and vicissitudes of the past.
