Chapter 117 Far Cry

Ali's four students were sitting in the corners of the table. They had no right to speak here, so just closing their mouths and listening silently was what they were supposed to do.

Milan, who was suddenly stopped by his mentor, couldn't help but tremble.

Hearing that he was just helping him get his briefcase, he quickly stood up, although he didn't know why he was taking it now.

He quickly took out the teacher's briefcase from the ruined cabin that had been packed away, placed it on the table, and handed it to his mentor.

Everyone just watched in silence.

Ali touched the briefcase in front of him, pressed the switch, and the briefcase opened with a click.

Inside were some books and documents, some information, and a yellow, quaint-looking scroll.

The scroll was sealed by something like a picture frame and was very well preserved.

Ali carefully took it out of the briefcase as if it were a sacred object, as if it was such a fragile treasure.

As this thing was taken out, the first person to be amazed was his students.

Milan's eyes widened and he blurted out: "Is this... [Sacred Covenant]?"

The tone was full of disbelief.

Hearing this, Ali pushed up his glasses and said with a bright smile: "Yes, you are indeed my student. You can tell at a glance."

After hearing Milan's words, Angel and Kensi also reacted and stared at Ali with wide eyes.

"Hey, this is no joke, Ali. This thing is not necessarily cheaper than the wealth we are looking for."

Angel reminded silently.

At this time, Ali did not speak, but looked at the three Zhuang Cai who had no expression on their faces and did not show any surprise at this scene.

He couldn't help but push up his glasses and thought: "Sure enough, these three people are more powerful than I thought. Even when I saw this thing, I didn't feel any surprise at all."

He never thought that Zhuang Cai and the others didn't know what this was. How could such a powerful person in his eyes not know what he was holding in his hand?

At this time, although the faces of Zhuang Cai and the other three were calm, their minds were blank.

what? A piece of parchment surprised these people so much, it seemed like something good.

So what is it?

At this time, Ali cleared his throat as if he wanted to introduce the thing in his hand to everyone.

There was even a hint of ostentation in his tone.

"The [Sacred Covenant] was first excavated 46 years ago in the ruins of the Holy City of Shanan. The original scholars believed that it was just a special paper used to record documents, but it was very tough.

But later, as the academic community gained a deeper understanding of the power of graphics and text, they discovered the true use of this thing.

This is a contract composed of complex pictures and texts, an unbreakable covenant.

Dropping your own blood on it will form an unbreakable alliance. Those who betray will die miserably, without exception so far.

It was an accident that I was able to obtain this thing. When I was young, I was also a well-known presence in the archaeological community. This is something I have never..."

As he talked, Ali seemed to be lost in memories, chatting with everyone about his past.

But obviously no one present wanted to hear his story.

Looking at everyone's expressions, he just curled his lips helplessly. They were really impatient young people with no memories.

After listening to his introduction, Zhuang Cai and the other two people probably knew what this thing was.

But Angel narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ali with a frown: "You only brought out this kind of thing to ensure that the relationship between us is stable.

It seems that you don't know much about the income from these ruins, as you said. "

Hearing this, Ali chuckled twice.

"Young man, I am not an unknown ordinary scholar, I am Ali Bel'anwen, the dean of the School of Archaeological Development of Holy Alliance College.

How can I personally lead a team to excavate ordinary ruins? These are my favorite students.

In order to let me help, our captain came up with a lot of information to attract me. Of course, I only came here after I was sure that the items in the ruins were worth my money. "

As he spoke, he took out a large stack of information from his briefcase and shook it.

“Before coming here, I had been familiar with the pictures and documents of this ruins for half a year.

It can be determined that these are the ruins of the ancient Safinna Usar Empire. From some corners, we can find the ruins of temples in the empire.

There are also many architectural styles and structures that have never been discovered before.

I don’t need to say more about the Sau Empire, right? Their ruins, especially those of temples, have never been less rewarding. To this day, the ruins of the Sau Empire are the most attractive in the archaeological world and one of the most fiercely contested by various forces.

Not to mention that the ruins of this place were not buried underground at all, but were exposed on the earth in the form of ruins, eliminating the most tedious, time-consuming, and labor-intensive excavation.

The things preserved inside must be very complete. This is the most attractive point. This will definitely be one of the greatest discoveries. "

After finishing speaking, the whole table became a little silent, everyone was thinking.

At this time, Milan raised his hand timidly and said, "Teacher, don't we think of a way to leave here for the time being?"

Ali looked at her and shook his head: "Of course not. This is a very, very rare opportunity. It is also an opportunity that may not be obtained in a lifetime, especially for us."

"But...it's very dangerous here." Milan couldn't help but said.

She felt that this place was extremely dangerous. Why would she want to stay here for a while longer? Life is gone, and everything else is gone.

"There is no safe place in Milan. If you want to gain, you have to pay. This is the eternal truth."

Hearing his teacher's words, Milan could only nod his head.

Although she still felt that this place was too dangerous and not worth it, and she should leave as soon as possible.

The reason why Ali changed his attitude so drastically was naturally because he saw the strength of Zhuang Cai and the others.

To be honest, even in Ali's opinion, these three people are very powerful.

If he were just a member of this treasure hunting group, he would have been thinking about how to leave, and would not even consider staying on this dangerous island.

"Okay, you two, how are you thinking?"

Ali looked directly at Zhuang Cai and Angel and said.

There are only three parties here.

Angel has a large number of men and weapons. Although Kens who is traveling with him also has a say, it is obvious that Angel is the main one.

The five Alis, who possess a large amount of professional archaeological knowledge and have rich experience and ability in relic excavation, come from top universities. Obviously he is also the person who knows the ruins best. If you want to obtain the treasure safely and completely, you must ask for their help.

The three Zhuang Cai people are powerful and mysterious. They just hitched a boat but were unlucky enough to be involved in their affairs.

At least that's what they think.

Zhuang Cai and the others also showed this.

Angel first exchanged looks with Kens and said directly: "Of course we have no problem."

Finally they looked at Zhuang Cai.

Zhuang Cai just thought about it for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Okay."

"Okay, if that's the case, then come on."

As he spoke, he removed the frame-like thing and placed the brown-yellow parchment-like paper in front of everyone.

"Everyone, just drop a drop of blood."

From Zhuang Cai's point of view, logically speaking, he should not be so reckless in this situation.

But both Ali's four students and Angel poured their own blood on it with ease.

Aren't you afraid that this is some weird master-slave scroll or other contract scroll?

Zhuang Cai couldn't help but think a little strangely.

But looking at the actions of these people, you can tell that they don't seem to think that this is a small move.

After thinking about it, the three of them also dropped a drop of blood on it.

The moment blood dripped on them, they understood.

It was like invisible knowledge poured into their minds.

They knew that the people here had become unbreakable allies, and any betrayal or harm would be punished with despair.

It does look like something very powerful.

But there is no time limit, we can’t remain unbreakable allies until the end.

Then this is too strong.

While Zhuang Cai was thinking, Kensi spoke directly: "How long will this thing be restricted? It can't be restricted until we die, right?" Upon hearing this, Ali said directly: "Don't worry, this covenant can be maintained The time is two years.

No matter how slow two years is, it will be enough for us to excavate this ruins. As for what happens after that, it will naturally not matter. "

"That's good."

"Why do you carry something like this with you?" Kensi asked, licking the wound on his hand.

Who would carry such a precious thing around?

Hearing this, Nan Subei also looked over with some doubts, waiting for an answer.

Ali just looked at him with a strange look, as if he was looking at a fool and said no more.

Milan pinched his long ears and said: "But of course this kind of thing has signed a contract with your captain. Isn't it obvious?"

Kensi suddenly realized, Nan Subei couldn't help but nodded, and then saw Zhuang Cai and Yang Rongrong staring at him.

He coughed awkwardly.

At this moment, a team member ran over and said something in Angel's ear.

Angel nodded, then looked at everyone and said, "Those three soldiers are awake."

After saying that, they saw several members dragging one of the three prisoners in front of them.

"Let me go. I'm a soldier of the Yamra Empire. Don't you rats want to live?"

As he spoke, he struggled.

The team member behind him would not coddle him honestly. He took out his gun and hit him hard on the head with the butt of the gun.

"Be honest."

The person who knocked him was none other than the player who had been hit by the man with the butt of his gun when he went to search for other team members.

It's hard to tell whether he was seeking revenge this time.

In this way, he was dragged in front of several people.

"Is this what you are in charge of? I advise you to surrender, otherwise Colonel Bohm will lead his troops to annihilate you.

We haven't gone back after being out for so long. They might have sent troops here. "

Ignoring his words, Angel looked at him and asked: "Isn't your empire at war? Why would you send soldiers to this lonely island? What do you want to do on this island?"

After hearing this, the soldier also had no intention of answering, and continued to shout with an arrogant attitude.

Seeing this situation, Zhuang Cai couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Nan, Su and Bei couldn't help but said: "I don't know what you are arrogant about, you are just a soldier.

You shouldn't be as important as you say, and do you know how long you were unconscious? "

These words immediately silenced the soldier, but it was obvious that he still seemed a little unconvinced and wanted to say something else.

At this time, Ali couldn't help but leaned forward and checked the soldier's uniform with his hands.

"The Third Fleet of the Imperial Navy is still a member of the landing battle. Hmm... let me think about it, I seem to have thought of something."

Ali said as if he was reminiscing, then thought of something and said: "Ah, I remembered it, if I remember correctly it was half a year ago.

Did your empire and the Merchant Alliance lose the war at sea? I remember that the Third Fleet suffered extremely heavy losses at sea.

The landing personnel who rushed to land on the beach were almost wiped out. You said that you were led by a colonel.

Being beaten and disabled like that, I don't think you have much strength.

And this place is a little too far from the battlefield, my friend.

You are either a team that got separated and fled in the battlefield and ended up on this island.

Either you are a deserter, no matter which one, you will not have too many troops, and that was already half a year ago. Looking at you like this, your nutrition seems not very good. "

Obviously, Ali's words directly took out the soldier's underwear.

At this time, another team member came over and said something in Angel's ear.

Angel nodded, then looked at the prisoner in front of him and said, "Okay, you are of no use anymore. Your teammates have said everything they need to say."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, if he lies, why not ask me again. Maybe I know something he doesn't know." The prisoner said quickly, as if he was really afraid that a few people would kill him directly. .

The arrogance he had before completely disappeared.

"Okay, then let me ask you, how many of you are left now? What are you doing on this island? How long have you been here?"

After hearing Angel's words, the prisoner quickly said: "We actually only have thirty or forty brothers left. As this gentleman said, we were separated during the landing battle and there were no more when we reunited." Hope grabbed a boat and ran away.

Since there was no chart on the boat, we lost a lot of things and ended up on this island.

It’s been almost half a year since we arrived, and we established a simple camp based on the boat and the landing site.

But this island is too dangerous, just like the pile of corpses over there. The natives on this island are too crazy, and they also know magic.

Our ship has no fuel at all, so we can only stay on this island to see if there is any way to leave.

The noise of your airship crashing today was too great, so the colonel sent us to check the situation. I actually didn't want to come. This place is too dangerous.

Those savages have already taken away a dozen of our brothers, and our bullets have not had much effect against them. And we didn’t have much ammunition in stock. "

It seemed as if they were a team that was really unlucky enough to come to this island, and they obviously had a better understanding of the situation on the island than they did.

Thinking of this, Angel began to interrogate carefully, and Kens also left here to interrogate the other two.

until night.

The three prisoners were taken away, and they also obtained some of the information they wanted and started communicating again.

"This island is very, very dangerous. Just like what the soldier just said, the horned natives in the tribe on this island may be some cultists.

They can all turn into monsters after death, just like what we see today.

Not to mention they met a priest who said he could control the wind.

I suspect that the crisis we are experiencing in heaven is the work of this priest. "

Angel said.

Zhuang Cai, who had experienced it personally, couldn't help but nodded. He happened to catch the air wave that directly split the cabin in half in the air.

If the cabin hadn't offset part of the force first, he might have been directly smashed to death.

Through the words of those soldiers, we can know the situation on the island, supplemented by the simplified island map in Ali's hand.

The place where they are now is actually towards the coast of the island, which means they are closer to the soldiers' camp.

It shouldn't be too far away from the soldiers' camp. It's on the center left of the entire island and further up.

A direction similar to the northwest corner.

From the soldiers' understanding, they can know that the camps and existence of those tribes are on the right.

The place where the camp fell back is a steep forest and mountain terrain, and it is very difficult to walk there.

Therefore, what they mainly need to defend is the front and east side of the camp.

As for the soldiers' camps, there is no need to worry. Their ammunition is very insufficient, let alone attacking, it is difficult to even protect themselves.

If something went wrong and they didn't go back to camp, it would be almost impossible to send soldiers out again.

They needed to save weapons and men, scavenge some food, and hunt.

In other words, their main source of crisis now is those cultists who are like savages.

And on their side.

With life jackets provided in advance, only three people were missing on the entire ship, including the captain, and a total of four people died.

Seven people were seriously injured and unable to move, and 7 people were injured and unable to move.

There are 31 people who are intact and fully capable of taking action.

Although they crashed, they acted relatively quickly, and in addition to the things that were already preparing to land, the supplies were moved to the rear deck area.

This resulted in the area of ​​impact not having much supplies, and their supplies were not damaged much. Coupled with the timely fire fighting, the supplies are honestly very abundant.

"Organize a few teams to explore outside tomorrow, and organize another team to check whether the location of the ruins is true," Angel said.

The simple map in Ali's hand has already marked the location of the ruins, which is not too far from where they fell.
