After lunch, everyone who was full and drunk finally set off on the road.
In addition to Zi Yang and his team on this trip to Death Valley, Asgen brought ten more people, and all of the remaining people stayed in Marshall. Asgen prepared two jeeps to carry supplies such as water and food. Pharaoh originally wanted a car, but Asgen told him that the terrain near Death Valley was steep and difficult for vehicles, and horses were the main means of transportation.
Asgen matched Zi Yang and each of them with a horse. Looking at the dozens of cattle and sheep in front of the team, Lao Wang said happily, "It's better to be a herder, you can take the food by yourself."
Asgen glanced at him: "These cattle and sheep are not for eating."
"Huh, what are you doing with such a big deal?"
"These animals test poison for us." Su Rui said softly.
"Try it, Death Valley has a scary name, will it really kill people?" Lao Wang said nonchalantly with his lips curled.
Asgen looked into the distance and said with a blank face: "A few years ago, there was a team looking for gold mines and accidentally entered Death Valley because they got lost. Most of them did not come out of the team of a dozen people. , There was only one person left. When that person escaped, he was seriously injured, unable to speak, his eyes were also blind, and he died a few days later. When he died, his whole body was rotten, and his skin was lost. Falling down piece by piece."
Lao Wang retched a few times and said, "Brother, just finished eating, can we not describe the details so vividly?"
Zi Yang frowned and said, "Could this be just some legends among herders? There are many things in the world that are rumored."
Asgen looked at Zi Yang coldly: "That survivor, I saw him die with my own eyes."
Zi Yang couldn't help but shudder, Asgen looked at him as if he was looking at a dead person.
Asgen turned his head and said slowly: "The old man in the castle said that there are demons that have drilled from the ground in Death Valley. They eat animal meat and suck human blood. The dense bones in the valley are the masterpieces of demons and ghosts. ."
Zi Yang couldn't stand the cold air that Asgen radiated from his whole body, and deliberately reined in his horse, and slowly fell behind him.
Su Rui walked side by side with him, and Zi Yang whispered to her: "Are you saying that Asgen is lying to us?"
Su Rui looked at him suspiciously: "Why did he lie to us?"
"Frighten us, when he arrived at the realm, he suddenly said that there was a ghost in front of him, so he would not leave, and then he pulled the team back. This time he made money for the old nose, and I would do the same."
Su Rui gave him a white look: "Why are you as rude as Lao Wang."
"Huh, are you complimenting me behind your back?" When the old Wang heard Su Rui mention his name, he reined in his horse and approached them grinningly.
Zi Yang shook his head and sighed: "If there is nothing wrong with our speculation, this coordinate is the place where Professor Zhang and Mo Lao San dug the tomb of Emperor Zhenwu. Hearing Mo Lao San said that it was still here decades ago. The virgin forest with dense green mountains and green waters, could it be that what has happened in the past few decades, and this place has suddenly become Death Valley?"
Lao Wang turned his head and asked A Chong, "Brother Chong, what do you think? After all, this is the place where your father fought before."
A Chong looked gloomy and said in a low voice, "I don't know, but I am inclined to Zi Yang's view that Death Valley may just be a legend among herders."
"How do you explain the annihilated mine team that Asgen said?" Old Wang's logic suddenly became more detailed.
Zi Yang groaned: "I think there may not be an inevitable connection between the disappearance of the mine team and Death Valley-do you remember how Mo Lao San was blind?"
"I remember Mo Lao San said that his eyes were sprayed with grass by the black air in the wall after entering the tomb of Emperor Zhenwu! I understand!" Old Wang suddenly exclaimed, Asgen walking in front of him. Waiting for someone to look back in wonder.
Lao Wang panicked and said casually, "I understand! It turns out that the horse is walking along the crutch!"
Asgen turned his head indifferently. Lao Wang wiped the sweat from his head and said in a low voice, "It's dangerous, but thanks to Lao Tzu's wit, I found a topic in time."
Zi Yang looked at him angrily: "You kid can't control his voice when he speaks?"
Su Rui frowned and continued: "What do you mean, the person who escaped was poisoned in the tomb?"
Zi Yang nodded: "It's very possible. I guess it wasn't a mine hunting team at all, but a tomb gang who ate black in the tomb and fought each other to death. Then the poisoned person was left alive instead of being taken care of. Stepped out—just like Mo Lao San back then."
The old Wang said angrily: "In this case, let's go fart. Even if there is a baby in the tomb, it would have been turned upside down. Let's go back! Xiaoli is still waiting for me!"
Zi Yang cursed: "Why are you like Zhu Bajie, always picking up your sons and returning to Gao Laozhuang? Can you be a bit prosperous?"
Old Wang rolled his eyes: "What a shame? Do you think the classics are so good? Asgen is a sinister! He's not honest and keeps lying to us!"
At this time, the whole team has been divided into two groups. Asgen and others rode horses and drove to drive cattle and sheep in front. Zi Yang, Su Rui, Lao Wang, A Chong, Xiao Hei and others were far away. In the back, if they were not talking loudly, they could not hear each other.
Zi Yang looked at Lao Wang suspiciously: "Do you have any evidence?"
Lao Wang pretended to say mysteriously: "Do you remember that when I was in the weapon store, I said I went out and called for Brother Chong and Xiao Hei to come down and get the equipment? At that time, I didn't immediately go out, but ran to the next secret room, from the crack of the door. Peeked in, you know what I saw?"
Zi Yang frowned. He remembered that when Asgen took them to the armory, there was indeed a locked secret room next to him. When he went out, Lao Wang deliberately asked what good things were hidden inside. Asgen casually told him that it was some food and medical reserves.
"What did you see?"
"Guess." Old Wang blinked mischievously.
"Guess your mother!" Zi Yang couldn't help but explode.
Su Rui sighed: "Comrade Pharaoh, don't make a mistake at this time, just say anything-it's everyone's life!"
Lao Wang said triumphantly: "The secret room is not medicine at all, but a big coffin!"
Zi Yang laughed angrily at him, "Naughty, do you know what a coffin is? Maybe it's a wooden box for medicine-and what about the coffin? Maybe it was prepared for Timur."
Lao Wang was anxious: "Have you prepared an old coffin for your father? I saw with my own eyes a pile of earthenware jars, porcelain, and bronze wares neatly arranged next to the coffin!"
Zi Yang and A Chong glanced at each other: "Asgen is a tomb robber, we already knew it."
Lao Wang was stunned: "I knew it a long time ago? Why didn't no one tell me?"
"Tell you why? Asking you to talk to Asgen when you eat and ask how much a piece of copperware costs?"
Lao Wang was angry: "Everyone came out to work together, this one was hidden from me, and that one didn't tell me, what do you mean? Look down on people? Don't trust me?"
Zi Yang patted Lao Wang on the shoulder: "You, I still trust it, but I can't believe in your mouth."
At this time, Asgen suddenly slowed down deliberately, and when everyone walked around, he said coldly: "It's too late to enter the valley today. Let's find a place to camp in front."
Lao Wang said in a puzzled voice: "The sky is still bright, why stop so early? Walk a little longer! Are you afraid of tired your horse?"
Asgen resolutely said: "No! It's too dangerous! If we enter Death Valley when it's dark, we might get trapped in it!"
Asgen’s tone was very severe. Su Rui and Zi Yang didn’t dare to confront him. Only Lao Wang Tian was not afraid, and he stubbornly defended his neck and said: "Death Valley? Where is Death Valley? I even have a shadow of the valley. I didn't see it!"
Asgen pointed forward with his riding whip: "Look!"
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by his horse whip, and saw a few white Sensen skeletons lying on a black shoal a few hundred meters away, which seemed to be large livestock such as cows and horses.
Old Wang grinned: "I said, Brother Asgen, you are also a good man walking on the grassland. How come you are scared when you see a few bones?"
Zi Yang looked at Asgen's face becoming more and more ugly, and couldn't help but squeeze a sweat for Lao Wang. When would this idiot know to shut up!
Unexpectedly, the old Wang not only didn't know how to constrain, but he also said in a shocking manner: "Brother Asgen, we Chinese have an old saying called'take money to do things'. We invite you here, but it's not to go around in circles."
Zi Yang was shocked. He didn't expect that the brute Pharaoh would say such hurtful things.
The muscles on Asgen's face twitched, and his horse whip was squeezed hard, and he hurried to the front.
Lao Wang said with pride: "How? With my old Wang's three-inch tongue, I succeeded in persuading Big Brother Asgen who was trying to work hard!"
Zi Yang said angrily: "Well, you have persuaded him, and you will feel comfortable by giving you a shuttle at night."
Old Wang was taken aback for a moment: "No way? Asgen will be so dark? He dare to be so lawless?"
Zi Yang snorted in his nose: "I don't know what they will do. I only know that strong dragons do not crush ground snakes. Besides, you are not a strong dragon, at most you are a long worm."
Su Rui looked around warily and said: "I think Asgen's statement makes sense, the environment around here is a bit weird..."
At this moment, a cow who came to the front of the line suddenly knelt on the ground with a mournful cry!
"Stop! Go back!" Asgen shouted loudly.
The people at the forefront of the team immediately drove the remaining cattle and sheep back several tens of meters. Zi Yang Zongma ran to Asgen and asked in a panic, "What's the matter?"
Asgen didn't say a word, he held the binoculars and looked at it for a while, and handed the binoculars to Zi Yang dignifiedly.
Zi Yang looked from a distance through the telescope, and saw the sturdy bull lying on the ground. After a few breaths, he tried to stand up, but there seemed to be a huge suction force under him to pull it to the ground, and the bull fell. On the ground, his limbs were struggling feebly, and his neck was raised up and his neck kept neighing.
Zi Yang was speechless for a while, and handed the telescope to Su Rui, who looked at it for a while and then handed it to Lao Wang.
Everyone stood there silently, silently looking ahead, as if facing a huge tomb.
The sound of the bull's neighing became weaker and weaker, and a breath of death was conveyed in the quiet air around it. After a while, the bull finally lost its sound, and his huge body fell to the ground, his limbs stretched stiffly into the air.
