After Liu Jun counted the number of people, the group prepared to return.

Outside the cave, several cars were parked together. Apart from the Chinese staff, there was no one around.

Xu Yuan escaped from the cave safely. As he walked with the others to the car, he talked about the situation in the cave: "When I went in to put the key just now, I found that the cave was full of weapons that could injure people. I'm afraid it's not just to protect the relics..."

Liu Jun was about to open the car door when he suddenly caught a glimpse of light in the rearview mirror. He immediately narrowed his eyes in alarm and stopped him, saying, "Zaiyuan, wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Chu Qianli moved her fingers subconsciously. She instantly realized that something was wrong. No wonder Liu Jun's face changed so suddenly.

Mei Ru Z and Tan Mu Xing were both startled, and they observed their surroundings with their peripheral vision.

There was complete silence all around except for the vast expanse of snow and the occasional bare black rock. It seemed that there was no human presence.

Liu Jun winked at the other armed police, and the people around him immediately went out to check. He quickly changed seats and opened a five-seater off-road vehicle, commanding: "You take this one, get in quickly!"

Chu Qianli and others did not dare to delay. They hurriedly got into the car and closed the door quickly.

Liu Jun also sat in the driver's seat and waved his hand to the remaining armed police.

The next second, gunshots rang out and chaos broke out!

After being discovered, three or four unfamiliar off-road vehicles rushed out from their hiding places and began to attack the ruins research team, but unexpectedly the Chinese personnel were well prepared.

Liu Jun stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and decisively drove the car away with everyone, and rushed out of the battlefield under the cover of his companions!

Meiru Z sat in the back seat of the SUV. She looked back at the rest of the people and asked, "What are they going to do?"

It was obvious that a fierce gunfight was about to break out in the rear; the originally silent snowfield was filled with the sound of gunfire.

"The key in your hands is the target!" Liu Jun said, "As long as we can escape successfully, the other side will not be too reluctant to fight."

Pan Yicheng had said long ago that all parties were ready to make a move, and asked Liu Jun to remain vigilant recently, but he didn't know which party would provoke him now.

Xu Zaiyuan was sitting in the passenger seat. He helped check the direction and said, "We can get back to the embassy in the east."

"No, they know we are going east, and they will take advantage of us..." Chu Qianli frowned, "We are blocked if we go back now."

"I've already requested backup, but it'll take some time." Liu Jun looked at the black car following closely in the rearview mirror and said in a deep voice, "As long as we get rid of this one, we should be fine."

Most of the attackers' vehicles were intercepted by the armed police, except for a black SUV that was in hot pursuit. It was estimated that there were also powerful hostage-takers in the vehicle, so it was determined that Chu Qianli and others' vehicle was crucial.

Liu Jun also asked his companions to drive a seven-seater car as a deception, but the black SUV seemed to recognize them.

After a moment, there were clanging sounds from the roof and rear of the car, like a rainstorm hitting the windows madly at night, which frightened Chu Qianli and made her shrink her neck.

Even though she had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs running, so she was not naive enough to think that it was the sound of rain. It was clearly someone shooting at their car!

Someone in the black SUV leaned forward and aimed, trying to stop the group from driving away.

"It's really annoying." Liu Jun held the steering wheel and gestured to Xu Zaiyuan, "Open the drawer and give me a hand!"

Xu Yuan immediately did as he was told, and saw the gun in the drawer gleaming with a cold light, giving off a chilling luster like solid ice.

As soon as Liu Jun took the gun, he fired back skillfully, threatening the black SUV without giving in!

The remote snowy road was slippery and not suitable for fast driving. Chu Qianming could clearly feel the car shaking and asked in panic, "Are we going to flip over?"

"It's hard to say. The road is slippery." Liu Jun not only had to drive on the icy road, but also had to avoid the hail of bullets behind the car, which was obviously more difficult.

The wheels rolled over the residual snow at high speed, but still couldn't get rid of the black ghost.

Two cars drove towards the edge of the cliff one after the other. Tall trees were all around, casting eerie shadows.

Tan Muxing looked at the huge trees covered with snow on both sides of the road. He suddenly lowered the window, reached out to the person in the front seat, and whispered, "Give me a hand, please."

He had to consciously hand over a gun to Yuanxia, ​​and only after he took it did he realize that the person behind him was not Liu Jun.

Liu Jun was concentrating on driving. He didn't bother to turn back and stop him. He hurriedly said, "Alas, that's a real gun..."

Tan Muxing had already leaned out to shoot. He turned around swiftly and fired several shots, not at the black SUV, but at the branches that were about to connect together.

The next moment, the snow on the trees collapsed and fell directly onto the black car behind, blocking the driver's view!

The driver of the illegal taxi hurriedly turned his head to follow the target direction, but due to the slippery road, the driving track was crooked and finally overturned on the side of the slope!

The black SUV tilted and slid down the slope, and the people in the car quickly abandoned the car to save themselves.

Liu Jun took the opportunity to turn sharply, then left through the shortcut, stepped on the accelerator, and successfully shook off the pursuit.

Liu Jun looked through the rearview mirror and noticed that the black driver was in a hurry. He said in admiration, "Not bad, he actually knew how to shoot. Although he didn't hit the car, he did hit it by accident!"

Liu Jun thought that Tan Muxing wanted to take a taxi but shot the tree instead, and by chance he helped them out of trouble. After all, shooting while moving is very difficult, and it is basically difficult for ordinary people to do it.

Meiru Z looked surprised: "I've noticed that you seem to have the attributes of a bodyguard."

When talking about Muxing's last attack as a violent bear, he had already left a deep impression on Meiru Z.

Chu Qianli's eyes sparkled, and she exclaimed: "Xingxing learned it all by himself!"

Tan Muxing had already honestly put the gun back to its original position. Facing the admiring gazes of the people in the car, he whispered, "That's not the case..."

"Did you learn this from military training?"

"No, actually my family always wanted me to lose weight, so I attended training courses sporadically." Tan Muxing lowered his head in embarrassment, "I learned some knowledge that is useless in China."

In order to help Tan Muxing lose weight, his family tried every possible means, even sending him to rock climbing and wilderness survival programs. Since there were few activities in China, they also signed up for an overseas summer camp, which naturally brought them into contact with the shooting club.

If it were any other child, they would probably complain all the time, but Tan Muxing was a soft-hearted kid, so he just went to endure the hardship. Unfortunately, he couldn't lose weight and only acquired some skills that ordinary people couldn't use.

"Won't it be used this time? It's worth coming here." Liu Jun looked at the navigation in the car and said, "This place is very close to the compass key point. Our people are there. Let's go and meet them first."

After the group got out of the black SUV, they couldn't return to the embassy immediately as they might be blocked by the attackers again. So they simply went to the base where the compass was placed.

A moment later, Chu Qianli and others arrived at their destination after a bumpy journey. Liu Jun sent a message to Pan Yicheng and his companions, and immediately learned about the situation on the scene.

"Now there is good news and there is bad news."

"The good news is that the gang didn't bother with us for too long. They drove away when they saw the situation was not right. Some people were slightly injured, but the situation is still under control." Liu Jun frowned. "The bad news is that the person holding the Ru'en Stone was captured, but he put the key away before that. Now there are four of the seven stars in the alignment."

Abner originally assigned the Runestone to Joe. After all, this item was inextricably linked to the Rune of Rune. Joe was indeed the right person. Who would have thought that he would be sniped.

The two of them went to place the key today as well. After Yuan successfully placed the peach wood sword, Joe and Abner also completed their work one after another.

Chu Qianli was surprised: "Is it Mr. Guardian Angel again? Why does he always get into trouble?"

Meiru Z: "He was beaten for no reason last time too."

"It is said that someone came to rob the spirit pendant, but the person who took the spirit pendant fled into the ruins and was not caught." Liu Jun said, "We happened to be together and did not disperse our forces, so we escaped."

After Chu Qianli and the others finished their work on the Sanqingling, they took a car to see the Taomu Sword, which was equivalent to gathering all the main teams in one place.

Abner also used a spirit pendulum to predict Joe's whereabouts. His life was not threatened for the time being, but he was not sure where he was hiding. There were obviously fortune tellers in the attackers' team, who were very familiar with divination techniques such as finding people and objects, so they naturally had a set of countermeasures.

"Professor Pan has gone to negotiate with Mondsen to investigate where the attackers came from."

Country H is vast and sparsely populated, so perhaps someone deliberately crossed the border to interfere with the exploration of the ruins. Of course, the Chinese side also suspected that Mondsen was crying wolf, but since the lost key originally belonged to them, there seemed no need for that.

"If the relic key is completely lost, the door must be opened within seven days, otherwise there will be no next chance." Xu Zaiyuan said calmly.

Qiao and the Runestone were stolen, and it is hard to say when they can be found. If the ruins are not opened within seven days, it may be a long time before the key is found.

Chu Qianli counted on his fingers and thought: "The problem is that there are seven slots, and now that all the keys have been put in, there is still one hole left."

The crystal ball was placed on the stone pillar in front of the Gate of Truth. After it was successfully placed, people saw the seven-star bead plate, and at the same time there were seven empty holes. Even if the remaining six keys were placed properly, there was still one bead missing, and no one knew what went wrong.

Chu Qianli wanted to explore the last slot, but she had a headache when she was calculating the matter. She felt that the corridor scene had left a lifelong mark on her, and it always restrained her from using her usual abilities.

Tan Muxing noticed that she was different, and he couldn't help but look worried: "Does it hurt again?"

Xu Zaiyuan: "The words and pictures in the passage yesterday might have some enlightenment effect."

"Enlightenment?"

"Yes, someone wants to enlighten us with that path, but we just can't understand it yet."

If the opportunity has not arrived, enlightenment is useless; once the opportunity has passed, the opportunity is gone. They have a headache when deducing the ruins, which may mean that their level is not high enough.

"When I put the key down, I saw a lot of Taoist spells." Xu Zaiyuan said, "There are both spells to teach people and magic arrays that hurt people. It seems that the builder has a very contradictory mentality."

Logically speaking, items like the Three Pure Bells were passed down by the ancestors of each sect. If they knew that successors would come, they should have treated the younger generation kindly, but various brutal organizations showed no mercy.

"If you don't have enough ability, then don't even think about opening it?" Chu Qianli rubbed her temples to relieve the pain. She took out the compass from Tan Muxing's bag and looked for the entrance to the key. "Since we already have four, let's get another five."

Tan Muxing was stunned and asked, "Are we going to let it go today?"

Everyone had planned to finish the compass and tarot cards tomorrow, but they did not expect a sneak attack to happen in the evening.

Qiao's whereabouts are now unknown, which indicates that things will become more dangerous in the future, and perhaps it will be even more difficult to put the key in place.

"Now that we're here." Chu Qianli held the compass, lowered his head to determine the direction, and said, "Five hundred years of college entrance examinations and three hundred years of simulations, we must look at the question bank left by our ancestors."
