I led him to "dodge" two waves of robot dogs, and we soon arrived at the stone gate.
I told him that there was a compass on the rock.
But Lao Hei was immediately bewildered: "What's going on? Why are the symbols here different?"
I also climbed onto the rock, but Old Black immediately hid the note behind his back.
"Damn! Show me, we're cooperating now."
"No way! What if you hurt me after you read this?"
Idiot!
"Aren't you afraid I'll harm you after I go in?"
Old Hei was taken aback. Suddenly, I reached out and the note appeared in my hand.
"How...how did you do that?" Old Hei asked as if he had seen a ghost.
You wouldn't believe he's an idiot; he can't even hold a piece of paper, but you can easily snatch it with a force field.
When I saw the note, I was speechless. It turned out that the writing on it was from the aliens of the Void.
I have already read the consciousness of two of the Sky People, which is their entire past, and I am quite familiar with their writing system.
Whether it's the archway or the stone gate here, they all belonged to the people of Jukongxing. Later, they were defeated by the Shiyan people, and these became Shiyan script.
There's also the Landis ruins; the people there were probably killed by the Stone Rock People as well.
I just don't know, the king of Landis was originally cooperating with the people of the Void Star, so why are the rock people in the treasury making antimatter?
"Can you understand it?"
"Strange! Why are there two different symbols?"
“That’s right. At first, I also suspected that the person who went in hadn’t found the right one. But he had already taken out the king’s necklace, and that’s the symbol I saw.”
Pretending not to understand is really exhausting!
I could open it right away, but I had to pretend I couldn't, and I had to make Old Hei believe me.
If it weren't for the local people, would I go through all this trouble?
Just as I was thinking about how to crack this thing without him suspecting that I had already cracked it,
Old Hei used his fingernail to peel off a layer of the compass engraved with Shiyan script, revealing the Jukongxing script underneath.
"Holy crap? What's going on?"
Old Hei's eyes lit up, and he peeled off the remaining layer of the compass.
"Don't worry about it anymore, the symbols match this time."
Yes! It saves me the trouble.
Once Lao Hei opened the stone door, we went in together.
I even took the holographic projection device inside; all that's left are some skeletons and fragments.
Is this all there is?
Old Hei was also dumbfounded. He picked up the fragments and looked at them: "This should be an alloy material that is not available outside."
I picked up a piece too: "No, you went through all that trouble just for this?"
"If all I had known was this stuff, I'd rather have been soaking in a hot spring in Yangben!"
Old Hei looked at the skeletons again: "I didn't expect this to be the place. It seems we've been fooled too."
"There's no immortal flower here, not even any treasures, yet they keep it all so mysterious. I'm truly impressed."
Old Hei also looked dejected.
"Zheng Yang! Tell me honestly, can you control all the robot dogs?"
"What exactly do you want?"
"There's nothing here anyway, come with me."
Old Hei led me out, and then we walked to the riverbank.
He plunged into the water and didn't come up for a long time.
I took out some dried fruit from the tribe and ate it, thinking to myself, "Take your time looking!"
What are you looking for?
diamond!
Duanmu Yifu and the knight were both given concussions by him, seemingly for the sake of the alloy arm, but after scanning this area for a long time, I couldn't find any metal or electronic signals.
But I unexpectedly discovered diamonds.
Right beneath this riverbed.
I didn't sit idle during the days I waited for them to arrive; I led people to thoroughly clean the entire riverbed.
There's no way around it; with my eyes, I can spot any diamond, whether it's visible or not.
I dare not say how deep it was, but I scavenged every last drop of silt up to a meter deep.
Besides here, there's a small hill above, from which the diamonds came down.
It's not actually that much, only a few hundred pounds, but this stuff is diamonds. Let alone a few hundred pounds, even a few pounds would be enough to drive people crazy.
Why did Lao Hei want to conquer the tribes here? His main goal was the diamonds.
I waited for ages before Old Black finally popped his head out: "Impossible!"
"What's wrong?" I put away the snacks and took a few steps forward.
“I found diamonds here before.”
"Really?"
Old Hei made a gesture of reaching into his pocket, but then put it down.
I knew he definitely had it in his pocket. If he hadn't found the real thing, he wouldn't have been afraid of Duanmu Yifu and his men finding out and taking action against them.
The two men fought right here in the river.
"Really! I just casually reached in and grabbed two pieces."
"Could it be washed away by the river?"
I wanted to trick him into looking further down, but Old Hei said:
"If the river washes it away, this place will lose its mining value. This means there aren't many diamonds here."
Yes! He'd better think that way.
After Old Hei finished speaking, he climbed up and said, "This time we've really lost big time. We have no treasure and no diamonds."
Mei Jun, who was transferred here, died. Alas!
"I'm so disappointed! You tricked me into coming here thinking there was treasure! Let's go, do you think we'll find treasure sitting here?"
Old Hei looked at me: "What are you planning to do?"
"What do you mean, what to do? If it weren't for that broken stone gate, I would have left long ago. Let's go back to the tribe now and borrow their boat."
Old Hei stood up: "This isn't a dangerous area, is it?"
"What do you mean?"
