Chapter 1236 Arrival at Xiyuan
After hearing what I said, Mao Buhui and Wu Sheng looked at each other and then shook their heads.
"How can we trust you to go in alone?" They spoke together and said in unison.
"No, it's too dangerous in the ancient tomb. There may be flying zombies inside, or even more terrifying than flying zombies."
Wu Sheng and Mao Buhui are very strong, and they are definitely the best among the young generation.
But what I will face is most likely a flying zombie, or even an old monster like Zhao Gao who has survived for nearly two thousand years.
Even my master who went to the ancient tomb himself did not dare to guarantee that he could escape unscathed, let alone me.
I took a deep breath and said, "Just wait for me outside in a while. If... I can't come out, don't go in to look for me."
After hearing this, neither of them said anything else. Mao Buhui curled his lips, leaned back in his chair calmly, and began to close his eyes and rest. As for Mr. Wu, he was holding a tablet computer, constantly paying attention to the intelligence transmitted by the Intelligence Bureau.
"Qian Yu, I've made up my mind to stick with you. If you die, then I'll have held on to you for nothing." After a long while, Mao Buhui finally spoke, with a look of disdain on his face: "Besides, isn't it just a flying zombie? I tell you, I'm in very good condition now. If I really encounter a flying zombie, I'll have to fight him, so that you know that I, the former senior brother of Maoshan, am not given away for nothing."
I smiled bitterly, but didn't say anything more, because I knew that these two people really regarded me as a brother, and no matter how I persuaded them, it was useless.
The helicopter flew rapidly in the air. After a few hours, a vast grassland came into my sight. At this time, the pilot turned around and made a gesture to us. Seeing this, we hurriedly adjusted our sitting posture and fastened our seat belts.
Five minutes later, the helicopter successfully landed on the prairie, and about 300 meters ahead, a fleet of pickup trucks was driving quickly towards us. I turned to look at Mr. Wu, and Mr. Wu said, "It's one of us."
"Old Hu, someone will bring you fuel in a while, just wait for us here. If we don't come back in five days, you can go back by yourself." Mr. Wu said to the pilot.
"I'm going with Director Zhang too." Old Hu was a big beard with a rough face. When he heard that he was asked to stay here alone, he immediately became anxious.
"What nonsense, you are a helicopter pilot, what are you going to do with us?" Wu Sheng was speechless. Lao Hu was stunned when he heard it, and then said: "I am also a military man. It's just an ancient tomb. I have read Grave Robbers' Chronicles and Ghost Blows Out the Light more than ten times. I understand everything in it. I..."
"Go away, stay aside." Mao Buhui couldn't listen anymore and directly waved his hand to interrupt Lao Hu.
At this time, the pickup truck team had come in front of us, and we saw a man in a green military coat and a cotton hat got off the pickup truck, followed by a group of burly Tibetan men in Tibetan robes with red cheeks.
"Hello, Director Zhang. I'm intelligence officer Liu Guangsheng. "A burly man in a military coat came forward and saluted me in a very standard military salute. The burly men behind him also saluted me and shouted in unison, "Hello, Director Zhang."
"These people are..." I looked at the people behind me with a puzzled look.
Although these people are burly, there is no fluctuation of Qi on their bodies. I can be sure that these people are definitely not practitioners.
"Oh, they are all my friends in the Tibetan tribe, all herdsmen on this grassland. When something happened on the grassland, they are actually the most anxious. I borrowed these cars from them." Liu Guangsheng said hurriedly.
"What's the point of borrowing? As long as the director can solve the problems on the grassland, you will be our herdsmen's benefactor, and we herdsmen will give these cars to you."
"Yes, we herdsmen will also erect a statue for Director Zhang on the grassland. It doesn't matter."
Several herdsmen said to me in not very fluent Chinese.
"Things on the grassland are not my responsibility, but now that I'm here, I will definitely find a way to solve it."
"Thank you, Director."
Several herdsmen laughed when they heard this. I didn't want to delay any longer, so I winked at Mr. Wu, and he stepped forward and said, "There's no time to delay, let's set off now."
"Okay, okay."
"Director Zhang, the ancient tombs are about seventy kilometers away. The road on the grassland is not easy to travel. The ice and snow have not melted yet in this season. It will take about two hours to get there. You can take a nap first." The off-road vehicle was driving slowly on the grassland. I thought we would reach our destination soon, but what I didn't expect was that the road on the grassland was so difficult to travel. Just ten minutes ago, our car even fell into a snow pit.
Meanwhile, I even thought about flying there myself, but after the 70-kilometer journey, the Qi in my body would be completely consumed by Feigong. By then, let alone entering the ancient tomb, I guess it would be difficult for me to even walk.
"Yeah." I nodded silently, then took out my phone and took a look. After seeing that there were no messages or missed calls, I leaned back in the seat and dozed off.
The pickup truck bumped along the grassland. After about two hours, I heard a "creaking" sound, and then the pickup truck suddenly stopped.
I opened my eyes suddenly and saw that the sky here had actually darkened. I looked at the time in surprise and found that it was five o'clock in the evening. At this time, even if this is in the north, it is impossible for it to get dark so early.
"Qian Yu, look quickly." At this time, Mr. Wu, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, suddenly pointed ahead and said in astonishment.
I hurriedly looked forward, but when my eyes passed through the windshield and saw the scene in front of me, my heart skipped a beat.
I saw that about a few hundred meters ahead of us, we had fallen into darkness. The smell of corpses and the aura of evil were intertwined, forming a place similar to a domain above the grassland. No light source seemed to be able to shine in.
And in the darkness, strong winds swept out from time to time. It felt as if the darkness was the mouth of a monster, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.
After seeing this scene, not only I, but even Wu Sheng and Mao Buhui were terrified, especially Mao Buhui. He swallowed his saliva with a "gulp", turned his head and looked at me with a dull look, and whispered: "Qian Yu, I was just bragging before, can I not go in with you?"
"No!" I shook my head very decisively.
Before, I thought that I couldn't implicate them, and I would go in alone.
However, when I really came to the ancient tombs and saw the scene here, I immediately felt weak.
After hearing what I said, Mao Buhui's face turned pale, and it took him a long time to say a word.
"Fuck, so ruthless!"
