I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Zhaoyang Ruyue and his group followed the instructions on the crystal map and came to a rocky valley.

"My goodness, this place is a total maze!" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but complain as he looked at the crisscrossing mountain roads.

The ancient warehouse marked on the map is deep in the valley, but the route is as complicated as a tangled mess.

What is even more puzzling is that the new clues involve an ancient writing system that has long been lost. The crooked symbols look like alien graffiti and are dazzling to the eye.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. What should I do?" Baona stamped her feet anxiously, feeling more nervous than the final exam.

When everyone was at a loss, the taciturn craftsman Chu suddenly spoke: "I...maybe I have a way." He took out a tattered notebook from his cloth bag. The paper was yellowed and the edges were so worn that it seemed as if it would turn into powder with the slightest touch.

"This is what my grandfather left behind. It contains some ancient text."

This notebook is like a bright light in the darkness, instantly igniting everyone's hope.

Although the text in the notes was incomplete, it did provide some clues.

Wumeng Tianlong and Zhaoyang Ruyue took advantage of their academic prowess and began to "decode" the text on the map based on the records in their notes.

"Wait, this symbol seems... like a bird?" Baona pointed to a symbol on the map and suddenly thought of the feather that Wei Wuzhe gave her.

She quickly took out the feathers and compared them carefully, and found that the two were surprisingly similar!

"Oh my god, this is terrifying! Could it be that this feather is the key?"

Following this line of thought, everyone re-sorted the clues, and the text that originally seemed like a heavenly book gradually became clear.

"It's done!" Wumeng Tianlong slapped his thigh excitedly, "I know how to get out!"

Just as everyone was about to leave, Chen Yong suddenly let out a scream...

Chen Yong's screams broke the silence of the valley. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw him covering his ankle, grimacing with a painful expression.

"Oh my god, I sprained my ankle! This is so unlucky!" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but complain. This unlucky child failed at the critical moment.

Dancer Wei quickly squatted down to check Chen Yong's injuries.

She carefully rolled up Chen Yong's trouser leg, revealing a red and swollen ankle.

"Fortunately, it's just a sprain, no fracture." Dancer Wei took out some herbs from the medicine bag he carried with him, carefully applied them on Chen Yong's ankle, and then gently bandaged it with a cloth strip.

The atmosphere between the two of them, originally one of bickering lovers, was now filled with a hint of tenderness.

Zhaoyang Ruyue and Baona exchanged a meaningful look, and an aunt-like smile appeared on their faces.

"It's a hit, it's a hit!" Baona whispered softly, it seems that this couple is going to be a success.

After treating Chen Yong's injuries, everyone continued to study the map.

Using the new interpretation method, they found clues pointing to a mysterious corner of the tribal sacrificial site.

"The sacrificial site? That place is heavily guarded. How can we get in?" Chen Yong said with a frown.

This kid is already worrying even though his injury hasn't healed yet.

"Don't panic, the hermit has a clever plan." Wumeng Tianlong smiled mysteriously.

Everyone followed the instructions on the map and arrived at the sacrificial site.

Sure enough, there were several guards at the entrance, staring at them eagerly.

"Stop! This is a place for sacrifice, no entry for outsiders!" a guard shouted sternly.

"We have something important to tell you!" Baona stepped forward and tried to explain.

"No one can enter without Priest Zheng's permission!" The guard refused to budge.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Priest Zheng appeared. He had a serious expression and looked at everyone with deep eyes... Priest Zheng's sharp eyes swept over everyone and finally stopped on Bao Na.

"What are you doing here?" His voice was low and majestic, with an unquestionable sense of oppression.

Baona took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.

"Priest Zheng, we have discovered new clues that point to a mysterious corner within the sacrificial site. We believe the key to solving the mystery may be hidden there."

Priest Zheng was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.

He knew that the matter was of great importance and did not dare to draw conclusions rashly.

"What are these clues you're talking about?"

Baona showed the map to Priest Zheng and explained their interpretation method in detail.

Priest Zheng looked at the map carefully, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he raised his head, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Well, since this is a matter of great importance, I'll let you in and investigate." He turned to the guards, his tone unquestionable, "You will step aside for now and let them in."

Although the guards were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey Priest Zheng's orders and had to leave in disappointment.

"Thank you, Priest Zheng!" Baona and others were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Priest Zheng, then quickly walked into the sacrificial site.

This scene happened to be seen by Elder Feng who was passing by.

He flew into a rage and quickly walked up to Priest Zheng, demanding, "Priest Zheng, why did you allow these foreigners into this sacred place? Have you forgotten our ancestral teachings?"

Priest Zheng frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"Elder Feng, this matter is of great importance. I know what to do."

"Sense of proportion? I think you've been bewitched by these foreigners!" Elder Feng was furious. "Their origins are unknown, and their intentions are sinister. How could you trust them so easily?"

"Elder Feng, are you questioning my judgment?" Priest Zheng's voice turned cold, and a majestic aura emanated from him.

"I..." Elder Feng was intimidated by Priest Zheng's aura and was speechless for a moment.

He glared at Priest Zheng fiercely, then walked away, muttering, "I want to see what these people can come up with!"

After entering the sacrificial site, everyone followed the instructions on the map and came to a hidden corner.

There was some junk piled up in the corner, and it looked like no one had touched it for a long time.

"It's here." Baona said, pointing to the corner.

Everyone began to clean up the debris, hoping to find some useful clues.

Wumeng Tianlong moved a large stone and suddenly felt something under his hand.

He squatted down and took a closer look. It turned out to be a stone slab with strange symbols engraved on it.

"What is this?" Zhaoyang Ruyue came over curiously.

Wumeng Tianlong shook his head. "I don't know, but this symbol looks very ancient..."

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound from the corner...

After a "click", dust flew up in the corner, and a loose brick fell down, revealing a pitch-black hole.

Wumeng Tianlong was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he grabbed Zhaoyang Ruyue who almost stepped on air. After stabilizing his body, the two looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Could this be... the legendary mechanism?

Seeing this, Chen Yong immediately came over, rubbing his hands and said excitedly: "Oh my god, this can't be a hidden copy! Let me explore the way first!" After saying that, he was about to crawl into the cave.

"Wait!" Baona stopped him, "Be careful, there might be a trap. Let's observe first."

The cautious Zhaoyang Ruyue took out a high-intensity flashlight from his backpack and shone it into the cave.

The space inside the cave is not big, with only a narrow passage extending downwards, which is bottomless and daunting.

Just as everyone was hesitating, Engineer Chu silently took out a long wooden stick from a pile of debris and carefully inserted it into the cave to test it.

The wooden stick touched something, making a crisp "ding" sound.

Mr. Chu took back the wooden stick, and everyone looked closely and saw that there was an ancient copper key hanging on the top of the stick!

The key has a unique shape and is carved with intricate patterns, and it is obvious that it is very old.

"Oh my god! No way, they gave me the key this time?" Chen Yong exclaimed, "This is too lucky!"

Dancer Wei also clapped his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkling: "Could this key be the key to open that ancient warehouse?"

"It's very likely!" Baona excitedly took the key and examined it carefully. "It seems we are getting closer and closer to the truth!"

Priest Zheng looked at the key with a solemn expression, muttering to himself, "Is this ancient prophecy...about to come true?"

Elder Feng's face darkened upon seeing this, and he snorted coldly, "Hmph, I don't think so! What can a broken key really mean? Maybe it's just a trick!"

Ignoring Elder Feng's cold words, Baona held the key tightly in her hand and looked at everyone with a firm gaze: "Without further delay, let's go to the ancient warehouse now!"

Everyone immediately took action and headed towards the ancient warehouse.

Walking to the door of the warehouse, Baona took a deep breath and slowly inserted the key in her hand into the keyhole... "Click——"
