Chapter 239 Searching for the Legendary Portal

Jiang Jiu laughed dryly twice and whispered to Li Ke.

"I'm not that lucky, because my original owner's family was wiped out and they died of grief, so I traveled through time."

Li Ke suddenly realized: "Being wiped out? That's tragic enough."

Jiang Jiu waved his hands impatiently: "Forget it, don't talk about me, talk about you, what are your plans now?"

Li Ke studied the map carefully and said, "We have come here with so much difficulty. I still want to give it a try to see if I can find the legendary place."

Jiang Jiu touched his chin with some suspicion.

"These things are all legends. They are too fantastic. If we can't find it, we will be in trouble if we follow you."

Li Ke's eyes widened: "What could be more fantastic than our time travel?"

"If you say that the elixir of life from the Queen Mother of the West is fake, you may not believe it, but time travel is real. According to the law of conservation of energy, if you can travel here, you must have a chance to travel back."

It has to be said that Li Ke successfully convinced Jiang Jiu.

"So you're going to go inside and continue looking for the way back?"

Li Ke nodded solemnly: "I will go to look for it, even if I die. Besides, if I really die, maybe I can go back."

Jiang Jiu was speechless: "Even if you want to die, you can't let so many people accompany you."

She turned her head to look at everyone, then looked at Zhao Zhuoxi seriously, and made a difficult decision.

"Why don't you go back first? He's an old friend of mine, and I want to accompany him to find that mysterious place."

The high priest was furious when he heard this: "No, that's a forbidden area, you can't go there. Who knows if there are poisonous insects or monsters in there? If something goes wrong, you won't be able to get out."

Xiao Yimo also advised: "Princess, don't take risks, the master will worry about you."

Jiang Jiu's eyes met Zhao Zhuoxi's.

She thought Zhao Zhuoxi would also persuade her, but Zhao Zhuoxi just glanced at her lightly and put his big hand on her head.

"Go wherever you want to go, I'll accompany you."

Finally, Jiang Jiu decided to accompany Li Ke to find that mysterious place.

The high priest and Xiao Yimo, along with Bai Yue, returned along the same route they had taken, following the signs along the way.

Zhao Zhuoxi, Lu Ming and Jiang Jiu accompanied Li Ke to continue to the primeval forest.

Because they didn't know how long they would be gone, the high priest left all the medicine to Jiang Jiu, along with the food, and only kept simple things.

Xiao Yimo said, "When I return to the village, I will bring more people to pick you up."

Zhao Zhuoxi waved his hands and said, "No need. You stay in the village for half a month. If we can't go back within half a month, you can bring people to look for us."

Jiang Jiu actually didn't want Zhao Zhuoxi to follow him. He was the king of a country. What would happen to the country if something went wrong?

But Zhao Zhuoxi went there for her.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Jiang Jiu stopped worrying.

The troops were divided into two groups, one went back and the other continued westward to look for a way to cross.

It would only take another three or two days to go back. There were still some things that could be roasted in the primeval forest. Chu Yu would be so happy when the high priest took Bai Yue back.

Just hearing that Zhao Zhuoxi, Jiang Jiu and others followed that strange man into the depths of the forbidden area, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"What should we do? Should we call the guards at the foot of the mountain over?"

Xiao Yimo thought for a moment and said, "It's not a good thing for so many people to come to the village."

"The master said that we should wait in the village for half a month. If they come back, everything will be great. If not, we will go in and look for them."

Chu Yu thought for a moment and said, "That's the only way."

"The forbidden area doesn't seem as scary as the legend says, right?"

Xiao Yimo briefly told her about the environment, and even though Chu Yu was worried, there was nothing she could do.

Chu Yu, Xiao Yimo and others were anxiously waiting in the Wu village.

Simply put, Jiang Jiu followed Li Ke, walking and searching all the way, and walked towards the northwest for a day and a night. Just when Jiang Jiu was exhausted, he questioned Li Ke.

In front of them, there really was a large open space, filled with huge rocks, some more than ten meters high. People in front of them were like ants.

Not only Jiang Jiu was shocked, but Zhao Zhuoxi and Lu Ming were also shocked.

“Is there really such a place?”

Li Ke turned around excitedly: "That's great, that's great."

"If we can find this area, we can find the legendary space-time transfer array."

Jiang Jiu was speechless: "Isn't it a time-space gate? Why is it called a time-space transfer array?"

Only then did Li Ke take out a tattered book from his bag and hand it to Jiang Jiu.

"I read this from a book of unofficial history. They said that there is an eight-diagram formation in front of the palace of the Queen Mother of the West. If the formation is correct, time and space transfer can be activated."

Jiang Jiu carefully flipped through the book that described Tai Chi and Bagua and explained the Book of Changes, and felt that the book was a bit far-fetched.

"Is this true? The Queen Mother of the West also uses this formation to move. Can't she fly?"

Li Ke didn't know whether it was true or not: "The Queen Mother of the West also has the elixir of immortality. Who has seen it? Some legends are credible, some are not. We have to verify it, we have to do archaeological research, and we have to speak with facts. This is the meaning of our archaeology."

Jiang Jiu took a look at the Stonehenge with so many huge rocks.

"Take a break. You must be tired after walking for the past few days."

Li Ke also decided to take a break and think carefully about what to do next.

The four of them found a clean spot in the Stonehenge and built a bonfire.

Lu Ming and Zhao Zhuoxi went to hunt two pheasants and a hare.

In such deep mountains and forests, the wild animals have never seen humans and are not afraid of humans at all, so these foods are relatively easy to catch.

Especially in summer, there are big snakes. If Jiang Jiu wasn’t afraid of snakes, they could even make snake soup.

The two of them went to get something to eat.

Jiang Jiu and Li Ke studied the data to see where the needle was, what conditions were needed to activate it, and how to activate it.

As he spoke, Jiang Jiu suddenly asked Li Ke.

"You are not an archaeologist, you are a tomb robber.

How come you can understand even such an obscure book?"

Li Ke was slightly startled, and tried to defend himself anxiously.

"I'm not a tomb robber. You've read too many novels. I'm just an archaeologist. We come into contact with a lot, so of course we learn a lot."

But these are no longer important to Jiang Jiu.

What's important is that she doesn't know that Li may not be able to verify the existence of that time-space teleportation array.

Jiang Jiu carefully flipped through the ancient book and saw a picture.

"This is a star map, right? Look, there are seven stars in a row. To open that space-time gate, do we need to coordinate with the celestial phenomena?"

Li Ke counted on his fingers and said, "It should be summer. Stars in summer are easy to connect together. However, there is another mechanism. So far, I don't know it."

They studied for a long time until it was dark. Li Ke held the book to the fire, but he could not see the handwriting clearly, so he put the book away.
