Temporary rest point.
Wang Zhen was pushed by Mo Ya from behind, and he sat on the ground in a daze. He seemed to be very frightened, and he curled up into a ball and kept shaking.
"Wang Zhen, why are you here? Where are your people?" Mo Ya asked.
Wang Zhen's teeth were chattering, his eyes were fixed, and he looked absent-minded.
Qin Wangshu came over, handed a kettle to Wang Zhen, and said softly, "Mr. Wang Zhen, can you drink some water to calm down and then tell us what happened?"
Wang Zhen instinctively held the kettle, but did not take any further action. The kettle was shaking in his hand and almost fell to the ground.
At this time, Kun Lan walked over, pushed Qin Wangshu away, raised his hand and slapped Wang Zhen several times. In a blink of an eye, Wang Zhen's face turned red, but his eyes were also focused by Kun Lan.
"How are you? Have you come to your senses? If you come to your senses, please tell us quickly. What are you doing here? Aren't you leading a team? Where are the people?"
Kunlan slapped him again before backing away.
Wang Zhen's eyes finally came into focus. He looked at Qin Wangshu, then at Mo Ya, and then asked, "Is it you?"
"Yes, it was us." Qin Wangshu frowned slightly, "Mr. Wang Zhen, do you remember what happened?"
Wang Zhen was shocked when he heard this, and then he said, "Our exploration team found a relic deep in this valley. It seems that someone has been to that relic before, but the entrance has not been opened yet."
"After the exploration team brought back the news, we began to prepare to explore the ruins. We prepared for more than two months and only set out not long ago."
Tian Yang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and looked at Qin Wangshu: "There are several ruins in this valley."
Qin Wangshu replied: "The Demonic Gu Valley is vast. From the time it was discovered until now, neither the private exploration groups nor the Emerald Castle have been able to determine its actual extent."
"However, no matter how large the valley is, there can't be multiple ruins. Therefore, the one discovered by the Red Moon Caravan is most likely where we are going."
While she was answering Tianyang's question, someone had already taken out an electronic board and pulled up a picture of the destination of the Golden Mint Chamber of Commerce for Wang Zhen to review, and confirmed that what Wang Zhen said was the ruins that Tianyang and his team were going to.
Wang Zhen continued, "We arrived at the ruins yesterday, and at 8 a.m. today, fortress time, we officially opened the entrance to the ruins. There is a very huge space underneath, and we suspect there is an underground city there."
"We encountered a large number of criminals before we even found the entrance to the city. It was like we opened the entrance to hell. We tried desperately to escape, but the criminals kept chasing us."
"Dead... Everyone is dead, and I am the only one left."
Suddenly, Wang Zhen jumped up and yelled, "I want to leave here, I want to go back, they are coming, they are coming!"
He rudely pushed Qin Wangshu away, and Mo Ya beside him hurriedly supported the beauty. Tianyang watched Wang Zhen run out of the rest area and ran wildly in the direction they came from.
"It sounds like the situation is not good." Tianyang looked at Qin Wangshu and said, "If what Wang Zhen said is true, then that ruins is not something we can explore."
"For an underground city of this size, it would be more appropriate to let the fortress explore it."
Qin Wangshu frowned slightly: "But we have been preparing for so long and have invested a lot of manpower and material resources. If we go back like this, the loss will be too great to make up for."
Tian Yang said calmly: "Loss is better than losing your life."
He didn't care. As long as he didn't run into the alien god, the worst that could happen was that he would open the door and move with his people.
He just didn't want Qin Wangshu to die here. Tianyang also wanted to establish contact with the Golden Mint Chamber of Commerce, and wanted to find out the Ultimate Notes in the Church of the God of Nature through Qin Wangshu.
Qin Wangshu was immediately caught in a dilemma. Reason told her that Tianyang's concerns and thoughts were normal, but as the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, she knew very well how much the Chamber of Commerce had invested in this operation. If she went back like this, the Chamber of Commerce would lose a lot of money. In addition, she had other tasks.
"Please wait a moment. I want to think about this alone."
After saying that, Qin Wangshu walked into a tent specially set up for her.
After entering, Qin Wangshu pulled up the tent and said to the air: "You should have seen the situation. Do you think we should continue?"
There was a slight breeze in the empty tent, and a figure silently appeared in front of Qin Wangshu. With his back to the female chairperson of the Chamber of Commerce, there was a tall man. He did not turn around and said lightly, "Continue."
"What happened to the Red Moon Chamber of Commerce shows the value of the ruins. It is very likely that there is something we want underneath."
"Don't worry, even if you run into an alien god, I can protect you. As for the others, you don't have to worry about the guests of Lieyang Castle. They have the ability to protect themselves. The young city lord and the woman named Chiying are both heavenly-level."
"If they are willing to help, you can all save your lives without me even having to intervene. The only thing you have to do is try not to make the city lord feel bad about it."
"He has been promoted to the Heavenly Rank at such a young age, and he is also the lord of a city. He has a bright future. He is exactly the talent that our church wants to win over."
Qin Wangshu nodded: "Since you said so, then I know what to do, Master Wuhua."
The man called 'Wuhua' smiled faintly, and his figure gradually disappeared, as if he had turned into air, leaving no trace.
At the rest stop, Tianyang exclaimed "Huh?" and a faint, barely noticeable floral scent filled his nose.
He was just wondering where the floral scent came from when he saw Qin Wangshu walk out. The woman, whose beautiful figure was outlined by the form-fitting armor, came straight to him and asked for instructions.
"Lord Tianyang, I want to continue moving forward. I want to evaluate the ruins. If the situation is really dangerous, we can retreat. Do you think this is feasible?"
Tian Yang looked at her thoughtfully, remembering that when they were on the same boat to the West Continent, he had suspected that Qin Wangshu was secretly protected by a strong person. Now seeing that she had made a decision after a moment of solitude, and continued to move forward despite knowing the danger, he could not help but guess that Qin Wangshu must have consulted the strong person who was secretly protecting her and made such a decision after receiving some kind of guarantee.
He shrugged. "I'm fine."
He thought that Qin Wangshu was protected by strong men anyway, so if something happened, he only had to take care of the people around him and he wouldn't worry about anyone else.
"Okay." Qin Wangshu stood up and announced loudly, "Keep going and assess the danger. If the situation
If exploration is not allowed, we will withdraw and report the situation to the fortress so that the authorities can take over."
So the people at the rest point began to prepare. Tian Yang suddenly came to Kun Lan and whispered, "Don't be stubborn and don't act alone. You are going to be promoted to the Heavenly Rank and take over as the commander. It would be unfair if you die here."
Kun Lan raised her eyebrows and wanted to refute the first sentence, but after hearing the second sentence, she felt that Tian Yang was right.
It makes sense, but it sounds like Baimao is treating me like a child. Am I really childish
Just as the team was getting ready to go, a cry came from the direction they were coming from, followed by the shaking of grass and trees, and a moment later, Wang Zhen rushed out from a bush.
At this moment, Wang Zhen had lost one eye and there were several holes on his face, as if he had been pierced by something.
His armor was torn, one of his arms was severely deformed, and a piece of his left thigh was bitten off by something. He looked extremely miserable.
At this moment, a bunch of sticky silk threads suddenly spurted out from the bushes on the ground, and they entangled Wang Zhen's feet, and Wang Zhen fell to the ground. He just turned over, and a black shadow jumped out from the bushes. The thing was as big as a two-wheeled motorcycle and pressed heavily on Wang Zhen's body.
Although the distance was far, Tianyang could still "see" through the black fog. It was a huge spider with thick steel hair all over its body. Its four pairs of limbs were like locust legs, but its head was a human face. It was not known whether it was intentional or natural, but there was a strange and sinister smile on its face.
There were six glowing blood-red compound eyes on the human face. The grids in these eyes all reflected Wang Zhen's appearance. Then a needle-shaped mouthpart emerged from the human mouth.
With a "pop" sound, the needle pierced into Wang Zhen's other eye, and then with a gurgling sound, it sucked Wang Zhen's blood and even brain matter!
"It's the Grinning Ghost Hunting Spider." Qin Wangshu exhaled softly, "They are the 'relatives' of the hunter spiders. They are larger in size, move faster, and can recognize a variety of pheromones to judge the strength of their prey."
Just as Qin Wangshu finished speaking, he saw a group of laughing hunting spiders emerging from the bushes in the distance. These big spiders crawled out of the bushes, climbed up the mountain walls, and hung upside down on vine bridges and dead trees. Their red eyeballs exuded an inexplicable malice.
The guards of the Chamber of Commerce immediately raised their rifles and pointed them at the monsters. But before they could attack, they heard the roars of wild beasts behind them. Tianyang turned around and saw dark gray wolves coming out from the bushes and trees in front of them. They were waving their tentacles on their sides and opening their mouths, as if they were eager to devour human flesh and blood.
"Leave this to us!" Mo Ya acted decisively and led his brothers from the 'Golden War Hammer' to set up a defense line, ready to deal with the front and back attacks from the black people.
But at this moment, something rolled down from the mountain wall. The black shadow kept rolling and finally fell to the ground with a bang. When it got up, Tianyang saw a kind of humanoid black creature, somewhat like the Wanderer of the Reverse World No. 127, but the skin of this black creature was like rotten bark, with tumors protruding on the back, and seven or eight vines growing out of it.
It had no hair, no eyeballs, and was swaying. Suddenly, it exploded and rushed towards the Chamber of Commerce warrior closest to it!
PS: I would like to mention that some of the terrain and black people in the 51st Reverse World were designed by the "Black King" in the group. Applause should be given here~
