The chaotic sound of footsteps and heavy panting reverberated in the dark tunnel from time to time, and the light of several flashlights shot back and forth.

At this time, one hour had passed since the rescue team found the walkie-talkie.

It stands to reason that the missing position of the archaeological expedition is getting closer and closer, and everyone in the rescue team is on high alert!

Tension, depression, expectation, calm... all emotions were revealed on everyone's faces.

Suddenly, another rustling sound came from the tunnel ahead.

"alert!"

It was still Captain Zheng Hongzhi who led a soldier to search.

Soon, the two of them returned to the rescue team with another walkie-talkie that was found.

However, the faces of the two of them were very strange.

"Comrade Lin Pengyi, this walkie-talkie should be yours, right?"

Captain Zheng took the walkie-talkie in his right hand and handed it to Lin Pengyi.

"Gosh! It's impossible! I... I didn't go this far..."

After Lin Pengyi took the walkie-talkie, he just glanced at it and replied in panic.

Obviously, the walkie-talkie that was just discovered was the one he had left in the tunnel.

Everyone in the rescue team looked at each other. They could not give any reasonable explanation for this unconventional and strange incident.

But at this time, Weizard's heart was beating suddenly! There is a possibility, appearing in my mind.

Weizard came to Captain Zheng's side and said a few words in a low voice.

Captain Zheng Hongzhi nodded hesitantly. He said to the crowd: "Comrades, let's take a rest here! Comrade Wei told me that Li Dao Yizhi accidentally dropped something... We will look back and find it soon. ."

Li Dao opened his mouth, but under Weizard's gaze, he did not speak very tacitly.

"Lieutenant, you can also help find!"

As a result, the four of Wei Zede, Li Daoyi, Lieutenant Du Xuyao, and Captain Zheng Hongzhi turned around and turned back towards the way they came.

Qi Wei and Qi Meng looked at us hurriedly leaving. Although they knew what had happened, they had no words.

After leaving the brigade for a certain distance, Captain Zheng Hongzhi whispered: "Comrade Wei, tell us your guess!"

Weizard also whispered: "Don't worry! Let's walk back again..."

Several people speeded up their pace and hurried along behind Weizard.

Five minutes later, a few people actually reached the end of the tunnel!

"What's the matter? The road is blocked?"

Lieutenant Du Xuyao's complexion changed drastically, and the hearts of the rest of the people also "cocked".

Weizard said indifferently: "It seems that my guess is not wrong..."

The attention of the other three people was all attracted by what Weizard said.

"Comrade Wei! Don't betray you, just talk about it! What the hell is going on?" Lieutenant Du Xuyao asked anxiously.

Weizard looked at Captain Zheng Hongzhi and said, "Captain Zheng, do you have anything to say to us?"

Captain Zheng Hongzhi's complexion changed slightly, but he did not answer.

Weizard continued to ask: "The situation we are encountering now is the "ghost retaining wall" as the saying goes! However, most of it appears in ancient tombs..."

"Why do we meet?"

"Captain Zheng, I hope you can explain it frankly and honestly!"

Zheng Hongzhi's complexion changed a few times quickly, and he sighed, then explained: "Well, the name of'Wei Sanye' is really not given for nothing..."

"Yes! This is the gateway to the'Lost City', and the'Lost City' is a huge tomb!"

"In the legend of the Tuoba Xianbei clan, this'Lost City' is the deified'Da Xianbei Mountain'!"

Lieutenant Du Xuyao opened his mouth wide, with a shocked expression: "It turns out that'Da Xianbei Mountain' is an ancient tomb... It's incredible!"

Weizard rubbed the stubble that emerged from his chin, and asked thoughtfully, "What about the Jade Seal of the Kingdom? It's not a fabricated one too, right?"

"This... Judging from the information deciphered from the ancient sheepskin scroll, Chuanguo Yuxi or information about the whereabouts of Chuanguo Yuxi was indeed placed in this'Lost City'!"

Wei Zede said suddenly: "Oh! So, the country doesn't know if there is really a rumored jade seal here?"

"Yes!"

Captain Zheng nodded: "This is also the purpose of this scientific expedition. It is up to us to determine the whereabouts of the Jade Seal."

"Let's go back! Otherwise, people will be panicked..."

As Weizard spoke, he walked back.

"Then... What should I do here?"

Lieutenant Du Xuyao asked: "We have no retreat!"

"No way out?"

Weizard paused: "Since there is no retreat, let's go forward!'The road to heaven is infinite'... I can still be sure of this!"

After a while, the four of us returned to the rescue team again.

"Xiaoning, did you find something?" Professor Liu asked.

"Professor Liu, don't worry, we have found it! If everyone has a good rest, we will continue to set off."

Weizard answered without changing his face.

"Huh! Such a big person would still lose things..."

Don't think about it, this must have been said to Huang Bin, who has always been upset with Wei Zede and others.

After this episode, everyone in the rescue team continued to move forward.

But Weizard and others who knew that there was no retreat remained silent, for fear that this news would bring a heavy blow to morale.

Although Weizard's behavior was very normal, their behavior of searching for clues on the way was still seen by some people, and Lin Pengyi was one of them.

Things that should happen will always happen. After all, such a big thing can't be concealed for too long, not to mention that everyone in the rescue team is not a simple role...

After the whole team moved forward for another hour, someone finally raised a doubt.

"Captain Zheng! Something is wrong..."

Lin Pengyi, who was in the middle of the team, asked loudly, "We have walked this route several times!"

"We are spinning around here!"

Following Lin Pengyi's questioning, the team immediately became noisy.

"Yeah! I also noticed..."

Professor Liu looked thoughtful.

"Just now when the four of you went out, I felt something was wrong! What happened? We have the right to know the truth!"

Huang Bin asked unceremoniously.

"Xiao Bin, if you have something to say! Everyone is comrade, please pay attention to your tone!"

Professor Liu noticed that the emotions of his students were not quite right, but he also didn't know what was going on.

"Sorry! Teacher, I lost my mind..."

Huang Bin also knew that his behavior was a bit too intense.

Captain Zheng looked at Weizard, and then briefly explained the dilemma the team was facing.

"Ghost retaining wall? How is this possible?"

The members of the rescue team began to discuss.
