Chapter 170 Thanks to Lao Wang
Apart from the man in the baseball cap and the thin man, the third man did not speak. He looked very calm in temperament and figure, like a veteran.
The three of them lifted the cover and entered the cave one by one.
Xu Ying's palms were sweating, and he called the police, but he didn't know if there was magnetic field interference here, so his cell phone had no signal.
She decided to take pictures of the crime scenes of the tomb robbers first, and then send the evidence to the police when she got to a place with a signal.
Xu Ying carefully walked around to the other side of the cave entrance, wanting to take a detailed photo of the SUV, but unexpectedly discovered several items scattered on the sand next to the vehicle.
A broken pottery jar, a few rusty copper coins, and a piece of jade half the size of a palm, all glowed with a warm green light in the sunlight.
Xu Ying approached the piece of jade on the ground and magnified the details with his mobile phone. The jade was exquisitely carved in the shape of a lying deer looking back, with tiny rubies inlaid in the deer's eyes.
This piece of jade did not look like an ordinary object. Xu Ying put on gloves, carefully picked up the jade and put it into a transparent bag.
At this moment, Shanfeng suddenly nudged her back with his head, urging her to leave.
As Xu Ying was evacuating in the direction of where he had parked his car, he heard a shout from inside the cave: "There's someone outside!"
Oops!
Xu Ying didn't expect that the other party would come out after entering the tunnel. They must have found his footprints!
Xu Ying didn't bother to hide and jumped on the motorcycle and started the engine.
Shanfeng seemed to understand the critical situation and actually started running, his speed far exceeding the normal pace of a camel.
Shanfeng ran in front of Xu Ying's motorcycle, as if leading the way for her.
Angry curses and engine sounds were heard behind me. The thieves were catching up!
Xu Ying turned the accelerator to the bottom, and the motorcycle crawled on the soft sand.
In the rearview mirror, the off-road vehicle was approaching, stirring up a cloud of dust.
At the critical moment, the mountain suddenly turned and rushed towards a seemingly featureless sand slope.
Xu Ying hesitated for a moment, then decided to trust the camel's intuition and follow the turn.
When she approached the sand slope, she was surprised to find that it was actually a hidden canyon entrance, only wide enough for one car to pass through.
The terrain in the canyon was complex. Xu Ying followed the mountain, turning left and right. The pursuers behind him were obviously not familiar with the route, and the sound of the engine gradually faded away.
Twenty minutes later, Xu Ying finally shook off the pursuer and stopped to rest in the shade under a rock wall.
Xu Ying was shaking all over, both because of nervousness and because of the weight of the jade in his pocket.
She pulled out the jade and examined it closely. The deer was lifelike, its ruby eyes staring back at her as if alive.
“Isn’t this an antique from hundreds of years ago?”
Xu Ying recalled the exhibition of cultural relics from an ancient desert country that he had seen in his previous life when he was rescuing wildlife in the desert.
Such exquisite jade carvings are likely to be royal items and are priceless.
It is impossible that these tomb robbers deliberately dropped such exquisite jade artifacts next to the off-road vehicle.
They turned back from the tunnel, probably because they found that the jade had fallen and came back to look for it, and then they discovered their own footprints.
Xu Ying looked around.
This should be an underground canyon formed by ancient river erosion. Later, the climate became dry and the surface rivers disappeared, and these underground canyons were covered by wind and sand.
"Shanfeng, thank you for your help this time, otherwise the situation would be troublesome!"
The Bactrian camel's eyes were filled with worry: "There's only one exit from this canyon. I wonder if the enemy will be waiting for us at the entrance."
If they find this place, we'll be in danger!
"Don't be afraid. Let me see if I can find reinforcements in the canyon."
Xu Ying turned off the car lights, turned on the flashlight, and tried to look for any signs of biological activity in this underground canyon.
She used her points to redeem a one-hour animal language full-language experience card so that she could discover small animals in the canyon that she had never encountered before.
“Gugua——”
Xu Ying's ears, which had become more sensitive due to his advanced animal language, heard a sound similar to the croaking of a frog.
She looked towards the source of the sound and saw an amphibian that looked like a mud frog with its cheeks bulging, making a warning sound.
The frog has rough and dry skin covered with ugly wart-like bumps, and there are prominent venom glands behind its eyes. It has a chubby body and its short hind legs make it look particularly clumsy.
This is one of the five poisonous creatures, the toad!
[Alarm, alarm, a Twoleg has entered! Quickly notify everyone to drive this intruder out!]
The toad jumped between the canyon's rock walls and the ground, avoiding the light from Xu Ying's flashlight.
Two-legged beast?
Xu Ying couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Was he talking about himself, a human being?
After a while, a rustling sound was heard in the canyon, like the sound of many creatures wriggling and crawling on the ground, which made people's scalps tingle.
The Bactrian camel sniffed nervously and said to Xu Ying, "Stationmaster Xu, come on top of me! These little desert creatures won't dare to hurt me."
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying climbed onto the camel's back, and a dense layer of black shadows were crawling over within the range of her high-intensity flashlight.
Xu Ying looked closely and saw pitch-black scorpions, geckos, snakes, geckos and toads crawling towards her in the dark on the ground and rock walls like a tide, making threats or posing intimidating fighting postures in her direction.
[Intruder, take this big guy and get out of our territory! You are not welcome here.]
[If you don't get out, we'll use our secret weapon!]
Xu Ying's heart was trembling. He zipped up his jacket, fearing that these guys would slip and fall from his head.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current scene is full of all five poisons!
"Don't panic, everyone. We just encountered some bad guys who were digging holes and stealing things, so we fled here to hide for a while."
Xu Ying looked at the poisonous creatures everywhere, and his throat suddenly tightened.
"I'm Xu Ying, the stationmaster of the 032 Desert Rescue Station. I'm good friends with the King Cobra, Lao Wang. I wonder if any of you recognize him?"
Xu Ying looked for the snakes, and then quickly called up the video of the King Cobra he had filmed.
The King Cobra, who was anxious to find a partner, disappeared without a trace after he found one during a mouse-catching operation, and he didn't even offer to invite him to a wedding banquet or anything like that.
However, before Lao Wang left, Xu Ying knew that Lao Wang had a wide network of contacts, so she asked it to help shoot a video. The content of the video could prove to other snakes that she was Lao Wang's good friend, which was similar to helping her open a pass.
In the video on Xu Ying's mobile phone, Lao Wang spread his wings, coiled around Xu Ying's wrist arrogantly and majestically, and made a hissing sound towards the camera.
[Dear friends and relatives of the snake clan, this Xiao Xu is a veterinarian specializing in treating animal diseases.]
[If you need help, please look for her. She will help any small animal!]
[Thanks to her, I, a perpetual bachelor, am finally no longer single!]
