Upon seeing the queen ant eliminated, the white camel cheered, "Great! Long live the boss!"
As they spoke, the white camel darted out, its mouth rapidly searching the sand.
Before long, it picked up a shimmering golden sphere from the desert and quickly ran back.
"My lord, this is the queen ant's inner core, containing immense power. Please accept it." The white camel's voice was full of respect.
Lin Yang took the fist-sized sphere, examined it carefully, and a look of curiosity appeared on his face:
"So the legendary inner core of a demon really exists."
He hesitated for a moment, then had the white camel open its mouth and threw the inner core inside.
Caught off guard, the white camel instinctively closed its eyes.
When it opened its eyes again, the inner core had already slid down its throat.
The white camel was utterly shocked, but it was too late.
It can only refine this unexpected inner core as quickly as possible.
As time passed, the white camel began to emit a faint glow.
Its height is increasing at a visible rate of 0...
It has grown from a height of just over two meters to over five meters.
The white camel's body grew to be as large as a small mountain.
But not long after, its body shrank rapidly and returned to its original size.
"Thank you so much for the pill, great master!" The white camel's voice was full of gratitude: "I have never felt so powerful before."
"Now, take us to the ancient city of Jingjue," Lin Yang said, patting the white camel's back.
"Yes, sir!" The white camel lowered its head, indicating its submission.
The members of the archaeological team were all very surprised to see this.
They had never seen such an intelligent camel, let alone one that could talk.
Despite their surprise, they quickly mounted their Bactrian camels and set off with Lin Yang and the white camel.
Throughout the journey, the white camel appeared very proud and did not allow anyone to touch its body.
Apart from Lin Yang, anyone else who gets close to it will be mercilessly thrown away.
Lin Yang rode leisurely on the back of the white camel.
After a day and a night of trekking, they finally arrived near the ancient city of Jingjue.
Looking into the distance, one could see a thick aura of resentment permeating the sky above the ancient city, as if countless souls of the dead were wandering about.
It is evident that many people died here back then.
"Boss, look at this place, the feng shui was originally excellent."
Hu Bayi squinted at the ancient city ruins in front of him, clicking his tongue in amazement.
But he shook his head and said, "It was originally excellent. But..."
The tone shifted abruptly, his brow furrowing:
"But strangely, the feng shui here has been reversed, with yin and yang reversed."
"Reversing Yin and Yang?" Fatty Wang asked, puzzled. "What does that mean?"
"Simply put, this place is a paradise for the dead and a forbidden zone for the living."
Hu Bayi explained:
"A living person entering this place is almost certain to die."
Upon hearing Hu Bayi's words, Fatty Wang immediately became displeased.
He patted his chest and said with great pride:
"Old Hu, you're not right about that."
"The idea of 'ten deaths without a chance of survival' only applies to ordinary people."
"Who are we? We are employees of Pawnshop No. 8."
He paused, then leaned close to Hu Bayi's ear mysteriously:
"We're people who can't die even if we want to."
Hu Bayi rolled his eyes and said irritably:
"Fatty, stop meddling in this."
"Of course we're fine, but what about Professor Chen and the others?"
As they spoke, they looked at Professor Chen and the others who were resting not far away.
They were all incredibly excited.
His face shone with excitement and anticipation, showing no sign of fatigue whatsoever.
"Great, we've finally arrived at the ancient city of Jingjue."
Professor Chen said excitedly, his eyes sparkling with longing for the unknown world:
"For many years, many people thought that the ancient city of Jingjue was just a legendary existence."
"This time, we have finally found this mysterious place."
Hao Aiguo was also very excited:
"Professor, this discovery of the Jingjue Ancient City is absolutely a major breakthrough in the history of archaeology."
"We may be able to unveil the mysteries of ancient civilizations."
Professor Chen nodded:
“That’s good, so we need to start the excavation work as soon as possible.”
2.8 As they spoke, they walked toward Lin Yang and Shirley Yang.
Professor Chen said urgently, "Comrade Lin, shouldn't we go in quickly now?"
"I can't wait to explore this ancient city."
Seeing Professor Chen and the others' excited expressions, Lin Yang smiled and said:
"Of course. However, we still need to be careful."
The archaeological team proceeded along the Zagrama Valley.
The valley is flanked by towering cliffs that reach into the clouds, with a variety of strangely shaped rocks.
Sunlight filters through the gaps, casting dappled shadows on the valley floor.
They walked carefully, afraid of missing any valuable clues.
Upon reaching the entrance to the valley, they saw several corpses lying haphazardly on the ground.
These corpses had become mummies, and their attire revealed them to be mercenaries.
The look of terror lingered on their faces, as if they had encountered something horrible.
When Professor Chen and his colleagues saw this, they couldn't help but gasp.
Just then, a strange snake suddenly sprang out of the corpse.
The snake's scales shimmered, as if inlaid with countless gems.
It had a black fleshy crown on its head, which looked extremely eerie.
It opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and lunged straight at Hao Aiguo's face.
The speed was so fast that almost no one had time to react.
Hao Aiguo felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his skin instantly turned a dark blue-green.
He sat there motionless and died.
This sudden change left everyone stunned.
They watched helplessly as Hao Aiguo fell to the ground, his face still bearing the look of terror.
It wasn't until Fatty Wang reacted and killed the black snake with a single strike that everyone came to their senses.
The white camel explained:
"This snake is called the Pure Vision Agama, and is also known as the Black-Eyed Monster Snake or the Giant-Eyed Serpent."
"It is one of the guardian beasts of the ancient city of Jingjue, and obeys the commands of the Queen of Jingjue."
Chapter 79: I could tell you weren't human at first glance!!!
Fatty Wang's eyes widened in disbelief:
"You...you mean the Queen of Jingjue is still alive? How is that possible?"
The white camel snorted and said disdainfully:
"How is it impossible?"
"The last black storm was summoned by her."
"You guys are still too inexperienced."
"In the end, it was the big boss who drove Queen Jingjue away."
Lin Yang nodded and replied, "Old Bai is right, I did indeed meet the Queen of Jingjue."
Hu Bayi stroked his chin thoughtfully: "In that case, this reversal of yin and yang is correct."
"It must be the work of the Queen of Jingjue."
"She wants to use this to be reborn?"
"Reborn?" Fatty Wang was stunned for a moment, then sneered:
"So what if I'm reborn? I, Fatty, will be there to pave the way."
