"What was that just now?"

As the fat man shone his flashlight forward, a blinding golden light suddenly flashed and disappeared in an instant, like a bolt of lightning.

He waved his flashlight back and forth, and suddenly golden light reappeared, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

This time, the fat man stopped at the right moment and followed the golden light to find its source: a half-person-tall Buddha statue shimmering with golden light.

The fat man's eyes lit up and his mouth watered the moment he saw the Buddha statue, as if he had seen a mountain of gold: "My god, how much money can such a big golden Buddha statue sell for? Our trip to Gutongjing was definitely worth it."

Xie Xiaohua smiled slightly: "Fatty, this golden Buddha statue is so big, it must weigh several hundred pounds, right? Can you really carry it out?"

"If we can't take the whole Buddha statue with us, can't we just smash off a few pieces and take them with us?"

"makes sense!"

After finishing his sentence, the fat man quickly walked towards the Buddha statue.

"and many more!"

He had only taken a few steps when Zhang Hao stopped him: "That Buddha statue isn't made of gold. Do you remember what happened in the Cambodian rainforest?"

"Brother Zhang Hao, are you saying that the Buddha statue and the stupa in the rainforest are made of the same material?"

The fat man thought for a moment and remembered that there was also a nine-headed cypress in the rainforest, but that nine-headed cypress only moved within a certain range, as if it was suppressed by something.

Later, it was discovered that the suppression came from the Buddhist pagoda in the cave. Only then did they realize that in addition to the Heavenly Heart Stone, which could suppress the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress, there was another special material that could do the same.

The pagoda is made of this radioactive material, and it looks no different from gold.

“That’s right. There must have been a lot of nine-headed cypress trees here for no reason. Someone must have transplanted them intentionally. If I’m not mistaken, it must have been the Wang family.”

Thinking about this, Zhang Hao suddenly had an idea.

The Wang family transplanted the nine-headed cypress here and used a Buddha statue made of special material to suppress the cypress's activity range.

If these Buddha statues are destroyed, the Nine-Headed Cypress will expand its range of activity, which could directly damage the base established by the Wang family.

"Fatty, go destroy that Buddha statue and check if there are any other Buddha statues elsewhere!"

"okay!"

The people around Zhang Hao responded and began to walk around the cave, shining their flashlights in search of the Buddha statue.

During this time, the fat man had already taken down the first Buddha statue he had found and smashed it.

This gold-like material is very brittle and can easily crumble into powder.

After it was destroyed, shouts of encouragement came from other places.

"Uncle, there's a Buddha statue over here!"

"Destroy them all!"

After the Buddha statue was smashed, its power was greatly reduced. The vines of the Nine-Headed Cypress began to move outwards, greatly expanding their range of movement. Like a wild beast that had been locked in a cage, it finally broke free of its confinement and began to stretch its body.

……

A caravan of twenty or thirty people is moving forward in the desert.

The two leaders turned around and glanced at the boy in the group.

"The situation is getting increasingly tense; it's not easy to find a genius!"

"Who says otherwise? This batch has been safely delivered to the White Desert, and we can finally rest for a while."

After they finished speaking, they looked ahead through their binoculars and saw that the color of the desert on the horizon was changing from yellow to white.

"We're only a few kilometers from the edge of the desert. We must not go into the desert. We don't have anything to control those man-eating vines."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rustling sound in his ear.

"Look! What's that in the desert!"

With a rustling sound, the sand bulged up the next second, as if a giant python was swimming rapidly inside.

"rustle……"

Suddenly, a bulge burst open, and a vine as thick as a telephone pole emerged from the yellow sand.

The two leaders immediately recognized it, their faces filled with terror as they exclaimed, "Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress!"

"Isn't the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress only active in that white desert? How did it end up here!"

"Has something happened at the base?"

"We have nothing to control them, let's run!"

Just as they realized what was happening and were about to run away, they saw a vine emerge from under the camel.

The vines pierced directly through the camels' bodies, wrapped around them, and then dragged them into the desert.

In the blink of an eye, a caravan of dozens of camels disappeared into the desert.

……

After confirming that there were no intact statues of gods in the cave, Zhang Hao and his group began searching for a passage into the ancient city of Gutongjing.

Zhang Hao used echolocation as he walked, but because the cave was so large, he searched for a long time without finding the passage.

An hour later, the group arrived at the edge of a crevice in the ground that was over a hundred meters wide.

Between the two sides of the crevice lies a bottomless abyss.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Zhang Hao emitted sound waves towards the other side. Once the sound waves were reflected back and received by his brain, the situation on the other side was clearly visible in his mind.

He pointed to the other side of the crack in the ground and said, "The passage into Gutongjing is right there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

"There are no chains or bridges across the crevice, and we can't fly, so how are we going to get across?"

Wu Tianzhen glanced at Xie Xiaohua and said, "Your lightness skill is excellent, can you fly over there?"

"Naive, what are you thinking? It's such a long distance, and there's no point of leverage along the way. How could a person possibly get across?"

"makes sense."

Wu Tianzhen smiled and looked at Zhang Hao again: "Uncle, you're so capable, you must have a way, right?"

Zhang Hao shook his head. His flying ability was limited to low-altitude flight. The abyss was at least several hundred meters above the ground, and he had no way to fly directly there.

"Woooooooo..."

Just then, a strong wind suddenly blew up from the depths below.

This gust of wind was very strange, unlike any other gust of wind.

The winds blowing up from the abyss are concentrated in one area, very concentrated. If wind had a physical form, then the winds blowing up from the abyss would definitely be cylindrical.

Zhang Hao suddenly thought of an experiment: if you blow a ping-pong ball with a hair dryer, the ping-pong ball can stay suspended above the hair dryer.

This experiment was conducted to demonstrate Bernoulli's principle.

Bernoulli's principle states that air pressure is low where air velocity is high and air pressure is high where air velocity is low.

When experimenting with a hair dryer, the airflow passing around it has a lower airflow velocity and higher pressure at the bottom.

The airflow velocity is higher and the pressure is lower at the top.

Because of the pressure difference between the top and bottom, an upward force is generated at the bottom, supporting the thing above.

In other words, when the wind blowing up is strong enough, a person can be held up and suspended in the air.

Just as everyone was frowning in worry, Zhang Hao suddenly said, "I've got an idea!"

"Uncle, what's the plan?"

"Fly over there!"
