Chapter 1 [The Deadly Ancient City]
“Bang-bang-bang!”
The sound of rifle fire echoed in the small space.
"Bang!"
The sharp engineer shovel hit the black rock and sparked sparks.
Dark and cold.
In the grotto beneath the ruins of the ancient city of Jingjue, a life-and-death struggle between man and snake is taking place.
Using the light of flashlights and camera flashes, about five or six members of the team wearing brown archaeological team uniforms were hiding in the narrow cracks in the stone wall.
There is a twisted and twisted black snake in front of you, which makes people shudder.
If you don’t want to be a meal, you have to fight for survival.
The two at the front cooperated tacitly.
On the left is a dashing girl, who looks like a mixed race. Her face is stained with dust and she looks tired but she doesn’t dare to relax at all.
Camera flashes are being used to disturb photophobic snakes.
The person on the right assisting is a strong young man.
The faces are firm and they are working together with a sharp engineer shovel. Their eyebrows are very similar.
The young man's lips were chapped and his eyes were bloodshot due to long-term fatigue.
But the movements of the hands are clean and neat.
Swing the engineer shovel in a small range to accurately hit the incoming black snake.
“Pah!”
The snake head was flattened on the rock wall, and black and red blood overflowed.
But there are still black snakes coming from behind, and this is not an option!
"Sister! Can you still hold on? Don't be brave and let Lao Hu come up and take your place for a while?"
Temporarily repel a wave of attacks.
Yang An tensed his nerves and asked Shirley Yang next to him.
After getting the reply that it was okay.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Re-gripping the multifunctional engineer shovel that was slippery with sweat and almost dropped from his hand.
Because of the strenuous exercise and the consumption of too much strength, Yang An's body was shaking slightly, warning that he was approaching his limit.
We can't continue like this.
Yang An licked his chapped lips, but he didn't dare to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
There will only be more and more black snakes emerging from the ghost cave.
Just relying on a sapper shovel and the camera's flash will soon give you exhaustion or run out of battery power.
Gotta think of other ways.
There is no doubt that Yang An was a good person before time travel, so he lived a second life and was reborn as a baby.
Come to the 1960s.
Life was quite comfortable for the first twenty years, but then Yang An's father left without saying goodbye, saying that he was leading an archaeological team to the Taklimakan Desert to search for the legendary ancient city of Jingjue, and he disappeared.
Yang An was shocked.
——Shit, a ghost is blowing out the lamp.
He also became the younger brother of Shirley Yang, one of the three protagonists.
Tough luck!
Over time.
More and more black snakes are pouring in, and the danger is getting closer and closer.
Yang An is not the only one who realizes that passive defense is not a long-term solution.
There is also a man standing further behind him, slightly shorter in height, with rough skin but pleasing to the eye. At first glance, he is a soldier, and his movements are clean and neat.
Hu Bayi is a veteran.
He is also the protagonist of the world of Ghost Blowing Lantern. He has a sense of responsibility and can leave his back to him as the leader of this archaeological team.
"Little Master Yang, we can't go on like this. If we continue, we will be bitten to death by these beasts."
"You take Miss Yang, Professor Chen and the others will retreat first. , I'll blow up the hole!"
"Bang bang!"
As he said this, Hu Bayi fired two beautiful shots.
He knocked away the two black snakes that had just entered the cave entrance, relieving Yang An's pressure.
"No, Lao Hu, you are close. I will blow it up. You, my sister, and the others will retreat first." Yang An shouted without looking back.
He agreed with Hu Bayi's decision to blow up the cave entrance, but he did not agree with the task allocation.
This is not about being a hero.
Yang An was standing at the entrance of the cave, and the cracks in the rocks were not wide enough. It would be dangerous to turn around and retreat.
If you are bitten by this strange snake, it will only take a few seconds to die from the poison!
I can only stand here and resist.
Hu Bayi also realized this and gritted his teeth: "Little Yang, do you know how to explode?"
"Don't worry, I learned fixed-point blasting in Hawaii!"
Hawaii?
Hu Bayi wiped the sweat from his forehead and didn't care whether the American siblings were showing off or telling the truth. In fact, he had no idea where Hawaii was.
But since Mr. Yang said so, Hu Bayi was willing to believe him.
So...
"Fat man!" Hu Bayi shouted to his friend while retreating.
"Hey!"
The man behind him, who was not fat but should be said to be as strong as a black bear, responded.
"Hand the explosive pack and detonator to Mr. Yang, and help Professor Chen and Teammate Ye to retreat first."
In the rear, using the camera flash as a weapon, he has a strong back and a fierce look on his face. The strong man nodded quickly.
Find the explosive packets and detonators from the bits and pieces hanging on your body.
Passed it to Yang An, whose hand was starting to go numb from the knock.
"Little Master Yang, take care of yourself! Lao Hu and I are taking a step back first, be careful."
"Don't worry!"
Without looking back, Yang An used his backhand to catch the explosive bag and detonator handed over.
At this juncture, a little carelessness or bad luck can lead to death.
Yang An didn't dare to slack off even a little bit.
After the teammates behind him retreated, he retreated in an orderly manner while stuffing the detonator into the explosive and activating the explosive.
Throw it in front of the stone crack.
Yang An didn't even look back and ran with his legs as fast as he could.
After walking a few steps, we came to a corner.
He only heard a huge roar that almost deafened him.
“Boom——!!!”
A wave of air accompanied by countless dust and stones swept towards him.
Yang An relied on the corner to avoid the direct impact of the air wave, but the distance was so close, and his chest felt like he was hit hard with a heavy hammer.
“Cough cough cough!!!”
"Bleach, you put too much explosive!"
Yang An's right calf was in burning pain.
The narrow entrance was buried in rubble, and the black snakes that poured in were also buried in the rubble.
After such an explosion, Yang An felt dizzy and had no strength to stand up.
Finally, his vision went dark and he fainted.
In a coma.
In the depths of Yang An's soul, a mist gradually appeared, and this mist finally converged into a brightly lit palace.
Standing above all the heavens and worlds.
Attracting Yang An's soul, the originally tired spirit continued to relax after coming into contact with the mist.
Until Yang An woke up from his deep sleep.
Yang An looked around confusedly.
We are in a brightly lit palace.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through my mind.
——Time traveled again?
——Where is this, the main god space?
——Please, give me a golden finger!
At the same time, Yang An discovered that the various injuries on his body, including the calf that was blown away, no longer hurt.
It seems that I still haven’t escaped the curse of being suppressed.
Yang An also worked hard.
He went to the Hawaii Full Skills Training School to further his studies; he improved on various skills left behind by his grandfather, Partridge Whistle; he also learned some Feng Shui and stargazing knowledge.
With foresight, many unnecessary crises were avoided.
But this is the Ba Sing Universe, an extremely dangerous world of tomb robbing.
Why is it dangerous?
Because there are hidden and terrifying ancient gods in this universe.
Any one of them is immortal and can destroy the universe or restart time.
One sentence.
In this world, just relying on hard work, without any luck for the protagonist - is useless.
But Yang An still embarked on a journey to find the ancient city of Jingjue.
On the one hand, Yang An couldn’t bear to see Shirley and Yang going through hardships alone because of the twenty-year relationship between sister and brother.
On the one hand, Yang An prefers to control his own destiny. Even if he fails, at least he has tried hard!
It's a pity that there is no golden finger. No, it's a sacrifice to heaven.
Tsk, this joke is so cold.
With the idea of taking care of things as they come.
After Yang An was annoyed for a while, he began to wonder what kind of hell this was.
Of course, maybe this is not hell, but it is not necessarily the golden finger that he has been looking forward to for a long time.
At this moment, two figures gradually emerged from the dark entrance of the hall.
The appearance is similar to Yang An.
But this dress is a little weird.
