The strongest heavenly master

Chapter 72 Someone Surprised One Step Ahead?
I rested for three days.

At the insistence of Professor Chen, the archaeological team finally left the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye and continued along the flow of the Zidu Dark River.

However, since it is an underground river, who knows where it will turn.

So a group of people can only go by feeling.

"Here, I have never been here before, do you really want to go deeper?"

It seemed that An Liman didn't want to leave, and advised the archaeological team to return from time to time.

"Old man, look, we have come so far, I believe the ancient city of Jingjue is not far away..."

Professor Chen explained patiently.

In addition, Hu Bayi also followed suit, An Li was helpless, and could only lead the group to move forward based on his own feelings and rich experience.

Two days later.

The group was tired from walking, so they found a sand dune and camped to rest.

Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng meet to release water...

Unexpectedly, a surprising discovery was made.

Near a small sand pile, they discovered a dark hole.

It's not big, almost enough for a person to get in.

But the two didn't dare to drill, and hurried back to report the situation.

"Go, take a look!"

Hu Bayi got up immediately.

Others followed suit.

As a result, I took a photo with a flashlight, and was shocked to find that there was a sarcophagus inside.

However, the lid of the sarcophagus has been lifted, and there is nothing inside.

"This...what's the matter?"

Chu Jian asked in surprise.

"This is a robbery hole..."

Hu Bayi is an expert, so he can tell at a glance.

Then squatted down to check carefully, and smelled it, his face became more dignified.

"If my judgment is correct, this robbery hole is definitely new, at most two or three days..."

"How do you judge?" Chu Jian asked suspiciously.

"If it was a robbery cave dug before, it would have been buried by yellow sand long ago. But there has been no wind for the past two or three days, so we discovered it."

The fat man was taken aback: "What? Old Hu, are you kidding me? Someone took the lead? Who on earth is so hard-working and able to come here?"

At this time, Gao Xing subconsciously glanced at An Liman.

"cough!"

Under Gao Xing's gaze, An Liman gave a dry cough and said, "Well, some time ago, I brought three people into the desert..."

"What?" Hu Bayi said angrily, "Why didn't you say that before?" "

"Well... I don't know what they do..."

"Come on, Hu Bayi, now is not the time to worry about this..." Professor Chen waved his hands solemnly, then looked at An Liman and asked, "Does the old man have any weapons?"

"There are all..."

The fat man had a bitter look on his face: "My god, this is going to be difficult."

"What are you afraid of? The desert is so big, how can it be so easy to meet?"

Hu Bayi hurriedly said a word of comfort, so as not to affect people's hearts.

"No, we have to hurry!" Professor Chen became a little anxious: "I'm worried that those three guys are also going to Jingjue Ancient City. If they find it first, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Yes, that's the reason..."

This time, Fatty's awareness was quite high, he echoed Professor Chen's words angrily, and urged An Liman to leave quickly.

After walking for a day, the group found a stolen tomb again.

Same as last time, the sarcophagus was opened, and there was no corpse inside...

"These bastards!"

Hao Aiguo, who had always disliked cursing, couldn't help cursing when he saw the empty tomb in front of him.

Professor Chen sighed and said: "This kind of tomb is just a very ordinary tomb, and there are almost no accompanying burial openings. It seems that this group of people specializes in stealing mummified corpses!"

"Everyone should be more vigilant. Although the chance of encountering the other party is very small, don't be afraid of [-], just in case!"

For the next trip, Hu Bayi was extremely cautious.

Fortunately, I didn't meet the other party along the way, and I didn't find any more robbery holes.Perhaps, the route was wrong.

Continue walking for a few days.

Still haven't found the legendary Jingjue ancient city.

At this time, everyone began to face a serious problem: the water was almost exhausted.

But the surrounding area is still a vast expanse of yellow sand, and there are no relics or oases at all.

If no water source could be found, most of the group would have to die in the desert.

"Have we gone astray?"

Hu Bayi finally realized this problem.

After all, according to their judgment when they were at the ruins of Xiye Ancient City, the distance to Jingjue Ancient City should not be too far away.

And the road was a little too quiet, not even a small relic was found, which seemed a bit abnormal.

"I look at the map..."

Although there is no reference nearby, Hu Bayi still asked Hao Aiguo to take out the map and study it carefully.

At the same time, Shirley Yang also took out the notebook she found under the nine-story demon building and read it carefully.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help saying: "Look, according to the route on the notebook, we have left the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye and continued to walk south for a few days. Grama Mountain..."

"Perhaps, we are mostly going astray."

Gao Xing looked up at the sky, then took out his ancient compass and walked up a high sand dune to start positioning.

There is no reference object on the ground, so use the sun as a reference.

After calculating for a while, Gao Xing came down and raised his hand: "Now, we have to correct the direction and go to the southwest. And, if my measurement is correct, there should be a source of water in the southwest."

What Gao Xing said was not to comfort everyone.

After all, he has accumulated some Feng Shui experience now, and coupled with the magical ancient compass rewarded by the system, it is generally certain that the water source is not too far away from them.

In this regard, Hu Bayi can't compare.

After all, the two studied in different directions, Hu Bayi focused on the Fenjin Ding acupoint, while Gao Xing had a much wider contact surface.

"Great!"

When they heard that there was a source of water, the spirits of the crowd lifted.

Even if it is looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst.

　I wish all book friends a happy New Year's Eve! ! ! !
