Chapter 66
With Zhang Jin's reminder, An Liman did not miss it and led everyone along the familiar route to the ruins of the ancient city where the white camel saved him.
"There is a well there, and that's where I survived." An Liman also felt a little emotional when he revisited his old place again.
The archaeological team found a well and decided to rest next to the well overnight so that the team members could relax and replenish their drinking water before continuing on the road tomorrow.
Everyone set up a fire and baked flatbreads. Shirley Yang also took out precious dehydrated vegetables to cook vegetable soup for everyone. They were very happy to chat while eating.
What happened during this period was almost the same as in the plot. In order to show off, Wang Kaixuan almost revealed that he and Hu Bayi were buried in Niuxin Mountain. Fortunately, Hu Bayi stopped him in time and the secret was not exposed.
Afterwards, the two went to the side to smoke.
Hu Bayi looked up at the starry sky while chatting, and inadvertently found that the arrangement of stars in the sky looked familiar. He seemed to have seen it in his book "The Secret Art of Yin and Yang Feng Shui", so he called the fat man back to the camp to get a compass.
Through practical research, we finally came to the conclusion that there is a large tomb under the well.
Everyone came to the well, and after some exploration, they finally determined that there was an ancient stone door covered with animal skins at the bottom of the well, and that there was probably an ancient tomb inside.
The next day, it was bright and clear.
The archaeological team set up a landing gear on the well to make it easier for everyone to go up and down the well to explore the possible ancient tombs inside.
"Brother Zhang, are you really not going down with us?" Ye Yixin asked.
"Yes, Brother Zhang, I'm guarding the top, so just follow them down." Chu Jian also said.
Zhang Jin waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's better for you to go down. You are all studying archeology. If you go down, you can gain some insights and help. I'm going down just to see what's new."
"It's not easy to come here, but you're not happy to see something new?" Wang Kaixuan said.
"It's just the tomb of Prince Gumo, and it's not the tomb of Queen Jingjue. I'm not interested." Zhang Jin shook his head.
Wang Kaixuan smiled and said: "Hey, Master Zhang has calculated it again. Okay, I will go down later to see if your calculation is accurate!"
After sending the archaeological team down to the well, Zhang Jin fixed the rope and returned to the camp outside.
An Liman was drinking kumiss and eating big cakes. When he saw him come back, he lay down beside him and closed his eyes to rest. He hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "This Comrade Zhang
Master Zhang, would you like some kumiss to relieve your boredom?"
Zhang Jin, who was deep in thought, opened his eyes, looked at the other person and said, "Uncle An Liman, if you have anything to say, just say it. I don't like drinking."
So An Liman asked: "They all say that your fortune telling is very accurate. I have experienced it along the way. I have a question for you. Have you calculated the outcome of our trip to Jingjue Ancient City this time?"
"Uncle An Liman, don't worry, our journey will be safe and sound, and everyone will be able to come out of the desert alive."
"That's good, that's good!" An Liman nodded, not sure whether he really believed it or because these words brought some psychological comfort.
Zhang Jin paid no attention to this cunning little old man, but continued to close his eyes and meditate.
This time he didn't go down into the well to join in the fun, because firstly he really didn't care about Prince Gumo's tomb, and secondly he could find some time to think about this mission. He spent most of the time thinking about this along the way.
question.
This mission is very strange compared to the missions in the previous game. If the secondary challenges and random client tasks, one of the conditions for clearing the previous game, are a bit difficult, then the conditions for clearing this game are too simple.
, bringing a box and throwing it into a ghost cave and protecting Hao Aiguo from death are all for nothing!
And the ultimate mission is to escape from the ancient city of Jingjue. How can this kind of mission, which can be completed by following the plot, look like the ultimate? Even the first-level challenge of taking detailed photos of Queen Jingjue is more difficult than this!
The most bizarre thing is that the task method for obtaining skills in this game is actually the number of times you escape from the ancient city of Jingjue!
No matter how he thought about it, something felt wrong.
After thinking about it along the way, he still hasn't fully figured it out. The only conclusion he has come to is that it may not be that easy for him to escape from Jingjue Ancient City in this game.
As for the black box, he has also checked it. It is an ordinary wooden box with an ordinary human skull inside. A piece is broken on the side and back of the head, as if it was pierced by something like an awl. Other than that, it is
It is nothing special.
The black box and the human skull inside had been quiet along the way, and nothing strange had happened. He guessed that maybe some Jingjue warrior who died in the battle wanted to return to his hometown.
The archaeological team spent the whole day studying the tomb of Prince Gumo under the well, and did not close the tomb door until evening. After exploring the tomb of Prince Gumo, they got news about the ancient city of Jingjue, which made everyone's spirits very high.
.
During dinner in the evening, after discussion, the archaeological team decided to continue heading towards the ancient city of Jingjue deep in the black desert.
The next day, everyone packed their bags and continued on the road.
Before setting off, Shirley Yang came to Zhang Jin's camel and asked softly when no one was paying attention: "I heard Wang Kaixuan say that you guessed long ago that the tomb under the well belonged to Prince Gumo."
"So? What exactly do you want to ask?"
"Then let me tell you straight, do you know the true identities of Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, and what do they do?"
Zhang Jin smiled and said: "As I said, everyone has their own secrets. If you want to know other people's secrets, the best way is to exchange your own secrets."
Shirley Yang looked at him: "What secret do you want to know about me?"
Zhang Jin shook his head and said: "It's not me who wants to know, it's Hu Bayi and the others who want to know. You can go and exchange with them."
"What secret do they want to know about me?" Shirley Yang asked again.
"You have to ask them yourself. I know your secrets, but I don't know what secrets you want to know about each other." Zhang Jin pointed at Hu Bayi not far away.
Shirley Yang turned around and glanced: "Forget it, let them keep their secrets." After saying that, he walked towards his camel.
On the other side, Wang Kaixuan was talking to Hu Bayi.
"Lao Hu, look what Master Zhang and the American girl are talking about. She's still looking at us. I guess there's nothing good going on."
"You care so much about others, don't let it slip first, otherwise you will be killed sooner or later."
After packing up, the archaeological team set off on the road again.
Although the archaeological team lost a batch of drinking water supplies under the attack of desert army ants as in the plot, what is different from the plot is that this time they lost the camels and drinking water supplies bought by Zhang Jin and An Liman's camels.
The drinking water supplies above were not lost.
Therefore, after replenishing the drinking water, the drinking water they carried was enough to support them to the ancient city of Jingjue or back.
The archaeological team embarked on their journey again and headed south along the Ziduan River. On the way, they encountered the stone tombs described in the British notebooks, and learned that a group of well-armed Russian tomb robbers had already preceded everyone.
Rush to the ancient city of Jingjue.
