Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Chapter 164 Finding the Black Magnet Mountain

"Brother Bo, what's going on?"

When Lao Hu saw Ji Haobo come down from the broken wall, he quickly went up to ask him something.

"Five unlucky guys, one was killed by Biaozi, and the rest hid on a sand dune more than 300 meters away."

Ji Haobo raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips, and shrugged.

"Those scoundrels thought they were invisible under the cover of darkness, so they brazenly stood there observing. I simply performed a meritorious act and helped them all pass on to the afterlife."

Old Hu and Fatty Wang exchanged a glance and teased each other with a grin:

"Wow! Well, Mr. Bo, you really are merciful. Those bastards who died under the fire of human cannons and sniper rifles are enough for them to brag about for three days and three nights in the underworld."

With the mice dead, everyone quickly washed up and went to their tents to sleep. With Biaozi, that idiot, on night watch, there was no need for them to do anything.

The next morning, after breakfast, everyone set off again.

When I passed by two places, I found a few guns, three flashlights, and two backpacks that were mostly empty. I found nothing else.

As for the remains of those people from last night, they were long ago fed to the wild beasts of the desert, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.

Upon entering the so-called Black Desert, it is not only more desolate than the outside world, but also devoid of any animal traces, and the temperature difference between day and night is even greater.

The lowest temperature that night even dropped below zero. If it weren't for the tent protecting him from the cold, Anriman might have caught a cold.

The group walked for two days, but apart from endless yellow sand, they didn't see a trace of the ancient city of Jingjue.

On the afternoon of the third day, Lao Hu discovered that his watch was malfunctioning; it had inexplicably stopped, and the second hand was shaking incessantly.

"Old Hu, what's the point of messing around with that broken watch of yours? It broke after only a few months. Go back to the store and return it directly."

Didn't they say they'd replace it if there were any problems within a year?

Wang Pangzi's words reminded Ji Haobo, who immediately glanced at his wrist and discovered that his watch also had a problem; the second hand was trembling slightly.

"Old Hu, when did your watch break?"

"Just recently! What's wrong, Mr. Bo?"

Old Hu looked at him, puzzled, wondering why Master Bo had suddenly asked this question.

"Have you forgotten that the notebook says the ancient city of Jingjue is guarded by two black magnetic mountains, whose shadows are only revealed at sunset?"

Upon hearing Ji Haobo's words, Lao Hu and Yang Xueli immediately understood.

"Master Bo, you mean the magnetic field emitted by that magnetic mountain affected my watch? Does that mean we're already close to the ancient city of Jingjue?"

Everyone immediately craned their necks and looked in several directions, but they didn't see any Black Mountain.

"What do you think is the reason that the notebook says the Black Magnet Mountain can only be seen at sunset?"

"Illusion! I bet there's some kind of illusion by the Queen of Jingjue, or maybe it's the Snake God's illusion."

As soon as Ji Haobo finished speaking, Fatty Wang immediately answered, but Lao Hu was a little skeptical. What kind of illusion could have such a wide range?

"Brother Bo, could it be a magnetic field? But that thing is invisible to the naked eye, it shouldn't be possible, right?"

"It must be the refraction of light, am I right, Haobo?"

"Hehe... Xue Li is right, it's not as mysterious as you think."

Ji Haobo smiled and nodded at Yang Xueli, pointing to a spot within a hundred meters or so.

"The reason why the notes say that it can only be seen at sunset is that the daytime sun causes the yellow sand to emit heat waves that distort the air."

As the heat subsides in the evening, one can see further, and the setting sun may even cast shadows of Black Mountain.

After hearing his explanation, everyone suddenly understood. However, Fatty Wang wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and said impatiently:

"Brother Bo, since Black Mountain is in this area, why don't you quickly launch a drone into the air and take a look? That way we won't have to wait until evening."

"Are you out of your mind? If the magnetic field here can affect watches, why can't it affect drones?"

"I reckon if we get into the ancient city of Jingjue, we probably won't even be able to use a flashlight."

Ji Haobo ignored the guy, glanced up at the sun, and estimated it would set in two more hours.

They then found a shady sand dune, led everyone there to rest, and took out some things for Lao Hu and the others to make some torches.

It just so happens that the giant salamander's belly fat was very thick last time. After trying it, I found that it was not only extremely heat-resistant, but also produced very little black smoke.

More importantly, the flames produced can inflict considerable damage on the spirits.

Therefore, although most of them were used by the Ghost Squad to make fuel for special Molotov cocktails and flamethrowers;

But he stored some of the leftovers away, which was enough to make a few torches.

As time passed and the sun began to set, the group hurriedly rode their camels forward, looking around as they went.

Soon a discovery was made: in the afterglow of the setting sun, two dark shadows stood out in the distance, very conspicuous in the endless sand dunes.

"Let's go! Now that we've found the place, let's get there quickly."

Ji Haobo immediately urged the camels forward, with the rest of the group following closely behind.

The dark figure didn't seem far away, but as the saying goes, "looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," and the group didn't arrive nearby until it was dark.

"Anliman, it's very dangerous inside. You don't need to go in. Just camp here and wait!"

Ji Haobo got off the camel, took out a tent, and asked Lao Hu to help him build a campfire.

"For your safety, I'll have Biaozi stay behind to protect you."

What could Anliman say? He simply led the camels to rest by the tent. If you say protect, then protect!

After settling the old man in, Ji Haobo led the group into the valley between the two mountains.

After walking about two hundred meters, Ji Haobo suddenly stopped. He noticed a shoe sticking out next to a pile of stones on his left.

"Haobo, what's wrong?"

When Yang Xueli saw him stop, she guessed that he had made some discovery, so she turned around and looked around, but she did not see any heat source.

"There's a shady character here, everyone be careful, there's a Pure Land Agama here."

Ji Haobo walked to the vicinity of the pile of stones and saw a foreigner lying there covered in bruises, with guns and backpacks scattered around him.

"hiss…"

"Judging from how black this thing is, it must have been bitten to death by the Pure Vision Agama. That thing is really poisonous!"

Old Hu and Fatty Wang walked over with torches, and both gasped when they saw the gruesome state of the corpse.

Just then, a faint noise came from not far away. Everyone turned around and saw another unlucky guy getting his lunchbox behind another big rock.

The strange noise was not made by him, but by the crawling of three black snakes.

That thing is the Pure Land Agama. The big one is as thick as an arm, and the small one is only the size of a finger. It has a fleshy tumor on its head and is completely black.
