I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

The embers of the bonfire danced in the night sky, like countless twinkling stars falling to the earth.

Although the tribe's jubilant roars had died down, the joy and relief of victory still lingered in the air.

However, this hard-earned peace was broken by a sudden discovery.

"Wait!" Geologist Taishu suddenly exclaimed, and his eyes, which had been buried in rocks and soil for many years, now sparkled as if he had discovered a rare treasure.

He pointed to a slightly abrupt terrain in the distance, his voice trembling with excitement, "Look there! The geological structure there is wrong!"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw in the distance, under the moonlight, a winding mountain range coiled on the earth like a giant python. The place pointed by Taishu geologist was slightly sunken, and some irregular rock faults were vaguely visible.

"What's wrong?" Zhaoyang Ruyue walked forward with a hint of doubt in her tone, but also with trust in the professional ability of Taishu the geologist.

"The geological structure there is very unique. It's likely the confluence of underground water veins!" Taishu explained excitedly. Like an explorer who had discovered a new continent, his eyes were filled with curiosity and a desire to explore. "If I'm not mistaken, the water source there may be even more abundant than what we've found before!"

After hearing this, everyone's eyes, which originally had a hint of fatigue, instantly brightened up.

If we can really find a more abundant water source, it will undoubtedly be a great thing for the entire tribe.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the mountain range, full of expectation and hope.

However, this expectation did not last long.

In the distance, a burst of hurried footsteps came closer, breaking the tranquility of the night.

The ground began to shake slightly, as if thousands of troops were galloping towards them.

"It's them!" Wumeng Tianlong's eyes flashed, and he immediately recognized the source of the noise.

I saw a group of figures approaching quickly in the moonlight.

The leader was none other than the chief of the Gongyang tribe, who had been severely punished by Baona in the previous fight for water sources. His eyes were now filled with greed and ferocity.

Behind him followed a group of strong and muscular warriors from the Zhongsun tribe, each holding a sharp blade and coming with a fierce momentum.

"I've said it before, the water source of this land belongs to our Gongyang tribe!" The leader of the Gongyang tribe shouted loudly, his voice full of arrogance and unquestionable meaning.

His eyes were fixed on the mountain range, as if it was already in his pocket. "Don't even think about getting your hands on it!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, like a fully drawn bowstring, and a fierce conflict could break out at any time.

The Luqiu guard immediately stood in front of Baona and Zhaoyang Ruyue, like a silent sculpture, with a firm look in his eyes, but also revealing a hint of uneasiness.

Geologist Taishu frowned, tightening his grip on the stone hammer. The diviner's divining staff began to glow faintly. He stared into the distance, muttering to himself, "The ominous omen... has indeed come true."

"You..." Baona was about to speak, but the Queen of Ancient Dian raised her hand to stop her. The Queen's face was calm, her eyes were sharp, but she held Baona's hand tightly, revealing her true thoughts at the moment. She slowly said: "Let..."

"Let them come." The voice of the Queen of Ancient Dian was surprisingly calm, in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere around her.

Her deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and reach people's hearts. "I want to see what tricks these clowns can come up with."

But Baona's heart could not be as calm as the queen's.

The detection equipment was damaged in the previous fight and has not yet been fully repaired, so it is impossible to accurately determine the specific location and reserves of the water source.

Faced with the aggressive ram tribe, they were like warriors stripped of their armor and could only passively take the beating.

The air around seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

Zhaoyang Ruyue held the dagger tightly in her hand, and beads of sweat oozed out of her palms.

Wumeng Tianlong paced back and forth with a frown on his face, looking restless like a cheetah trapped in a cage.

"We have to find a way to delay time and wait for the detection equipment to be repaired." Baona whispered, with a barely perceptible tremor in her tone.

"I'll do it." The Luqiu guard responded in a muffled voice.

His burly figure stood before everyone like a mountain, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.

He looked around and his eyes fell on some huge rocks.

"Follow me." Guard Luqiu said briefly and turned to walk towards the rocks.

Everyone didn't understand why, but they followed closely.

The guards of Luqiu cleverly set up some simple defensive fortifications by taking advantage of the terrain and the rocks.

He stacked several boulders together to form a natural barrier, dug some traps in the ground, and camouflaged them with branches and vines.

His rough hands moved through the mud and rocks with extraordinary flexibility and speed, like an experienced veteran on the battlefield.

After doing all this, Guard Luqiu patted the dirt off his hands and nodded with satisfaction.

"This will delay it for a while."

Looking at the simple yet effective fortifications before them, a glimmer of hope ignited in everyone's hearts.

The loyalty and wisdom of the Luqiu guards were fully demonstrated at this moment.

He is like an indestructible shield, protecting his companions behind him.

The troops of the Ram Tribe were getting closer and closer, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

They did not seem to have expected an ambush, and for a moment, their advance was blocked by these simple fortifications.

"Charge! Whoever takes the water source will be rewarded with ten women!" The leader of the Ram Tribe roared at the top of his lungs, his greedy eyes fixed on the mountains in the distance.

The warriors of the Zhongsun tribe rushed towards the fortifications like crazy, but were blocked by traps and boulders again and again.

The Luqiu guards led the other guards, taking advantage of the terrain and stubbornly resisting the enemy's attack.

At this moment, the fortune teller Xianyu slowly walked towards the leader of the Gongyang tribe, with the divining rod in his hand flashing with a strange light.

"you……"

The fortune teller Xianyu, leaning on his divining staff, walked towards the leader of the Gongyang tribe step by step. His skinny fingers tightly gripped the staff. The animal bone on the top of the staff emitted a faint light, reflecting his wrinkled face, making him look particularly eerie and terrifying.

He did not try to persuade her earnestly as before, but instead said in a low and hoarse voice: "This water source... is cursed..."

His eyes were mysterious, as if he could see through everything, which instantly dampened the arrogance of the leader of the Ram Tribe.

The warriors of the Zhongsun tribe also stopped and looked at each other. Even Baona and others were surprised by the sudden action of the fortune teller Xianyu.

"Curse?" The leader of the Ram Tribe swallowed, his voice trembling with a barely perceptible tremor. "What curse?"

Xianyu the fortune teller did not answer, but pointed the divination rod towards the mountain range. The animal bone on the top of the rod emitted an even brighter light, as if responding to his words.

He spoke slowly, his voice like a whisper from hell: "Take this water without permission and you will be punished by heaven..."

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but say, "He's just being mysterious!"

Geologist Taishu walked up to Baona, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Don't worry. Even if there really is a curse, we are not afraid!" His words were full of trust and determination, which gradually calmed Baona's originally uneasy heart.

She looked at geologist Taishu with gratitude and also gave encouraging glances to her other partners.

In this ancient era full of dangers, they supported each other and never left each other. This friendship was more precious than any gold, silver or treasure.

Although the leader of the Ram tribe was shaken, his greedy desire eventually overcame his fear.

He gritted his teeth and glared at the fortune teller fiercely, "I just don't believe this!" He waved his hand, "Go ahead! Whoever takes the water source first will be rewarded with twenty women!"

The warriors of the Zhongsun tribe once again let out earth-shattering cries of war and rushed towards the fortifications like a tide...

Xianyu the fortune teller shook his head and sighed, "Stubborn and unwilling to repent..." He turned and left, disappearing into the night.

"Wait," the Queen of Ancient Dian suddenly said, "I, too, want to go and see the source of this water..."
