My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married
Chapter 920: Fork in the Road, Separate Actions
"I wonder if you have any other ideas."
"If you have no objection, let's do this."
After listening to Zhang Hao's analysis and ideas, everyone had no objection and thought it was a good idea.
Given the current situation, this is the only option.
Zhang Qilin looked at everyone coldly and said, "Since you have no objection, this matter is settled."
"We will separate here and each act according to our plan."
Zhang Qilin also agreed with Zhang Hao's statement, and everyone set off immediately and continued on their journey under the leadership of Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin.
After Zhang Hao led the group for a distance, a stream appeared in front of them.
When Zhang Hao saw the stream water, he felt a little worried, fearing that the water would be corrosive to his body.
Looking at the stream in front of him, Zhang Hao was thinking about how to cross it.
Just then, an old man rowing a boat suddenly appeared on the creek.
"Sir...are you trying to cross the creek? Do you need any help?"
"If you don't mind, you can take my boat over there. I'll be happy to serve you."
"You guys discuss it, if you have no objection, come up."
Zhang Hao looked at the old man in front of him with confusion, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Just then, Chen Wenjin quietly walked to Zhang Hao's side.
"Zhang Hao...what do you think? Why don't we agree to it? Otherwise, how can we get there?"
"Wait a minute... I think there's something wrong here. Don't rush to decide. Let's see how things go."
"After all, this concerns everyone's safety, and a decision we make could put them in danger."
After hearing what Zhang Hao said, Chen Wenjin said no more and waited for Zhang Hao's decision.
Zhang Hao slowly took a step forward and stared at the old man in front of him with a serious face.
Zhang Hao expressed his doubts, but he didn't expect the old man to listen to Zhang Hao's questions.
He answered fluently without any concealment.
Although Zhang Hao still had doubts in his mind, facing the old man's honesty, Zhang Hao could only choose to believe him temporarily.
After much consideration, they boarded the boat.
The old man was very happy. After everyone got on the boat, he hummed a little tune and rowed the boat forward.
At first Zhang Hao didn't think there was anything unusual, but when the boat reached the middle of the stream.
Zhang Hao had a bad feeling, and at this moment, the boat began to shake.
And the shaking became more and more severe. Then, the old man rowing the boat changed his expression and turned around to pounce on Chen Wenjin.
Zhang Hao was shocked when he saw this scene.
When Hao Xie saw the old man attacking Chen Wenjin, he immediately rushed forward to help Chen Wenjin resist the old man's attack.
Chen Wenjin looked at the old man with a puzzled look on his face, and asked angrily: "Who are you and why did you suddenly attack me?"
"It seems that you showed up here on purpose. Have you been eyeing me for a long time?"
"Hahaha……"
After hearing Chen Wenjin's question, the old man let out a sinister laugh that made people tremble all over.
At this time, Zhang Hao was extremely anxious and wanted to help Chen Wenjin and Hao Xie.
However, what shocked Zhang Hao was that his whole body seemed to be pulled by something underwater.
I couldn't move at all, and I couldn't swim out of the water.
For the moment, he had no time to care about the difficulties Hao Xie and Chen Wenjin encountered.
Zhang Hao was extremely anxious and began to struggle desperately.
But it seemed to have no effect. He began to doubt the old man's identity and why he was staring at Chen Wenjin.
Zhang Hao was confused as to what he wanted to get from Chen Wenjin, and couldn't figure out why.
In desperation, Zhang Hao could only use the hexagonal black seal to repel the monster that was pulling his body.
After feeling that his body could move freely, Zhang Hao swam out of the water without hesitation.
He rushed to Hao Xie and Chen Wenjin as quickly as possible to help them deal with the old man's attack.
Zhang Hao looked at the old man in front of him and asked angrily, "Who are you and what is your purpose?"
"It seems that you planned all this carefully, and we just fell into your trap."
When the old man saw Zhang Hao appear, he felt that the situation was not good and that his own strength was difficult to resist.
So, he tried to find a way to escape. Zhang Hao did not hesitate and used the hexagonal black seal. A ball of black gas instantly wrapped the old man.
As the black gas dissipated, the old man turned into a mummy.
However, a letter fell from his waist.
Chen Wenjin was quick-witted and rushed out to pick up the fallen letter.
"Zhang Hao... open it quickly and see what's written on it. Is there anything we need?"
As she spoke, Chen Wenjin handed the letter to Zhang Hao, who nodded slowly.
He hurriedly opened the letter and found that it was the old man's autobiography. It recorded some very scary things, including rat spirits, giant pythons, floating flies, blood clams, etc.
Chen Wenjin and Hao Xie were shocked when they saw what was written in the letter.
"Strange... Why are these horrible things recorded in this letter?"
"It seems that we will encounter a lot of troubles in the future. We have already fought against the rat demon and the giant python."
Looking at the remaining two items, I felt really uneasy and a little uneasy. Hao Xie looked at Zhang Hao with a serious expression, and everyone knew that the problem they were going to face next was not ordinary.
After listening to Hao Xie's sigh, Zhang Hao took a deep breath and solemnly reminded everyone: "Hao Xie is right. We still have a long way to go. Everyone must be careful at all times."
He paused, and then continued, "Moreover, we will encounter more and more dangers, and we don't even know when the next danger will come."
"All of this is unknown to us, so I hope everyone can remain highly vigilant," Zhang Hao said with unquestionable firmness. "Don't let your guard down, or you may lose your life. As long as I can, I will protect everyone's safety, but sometimes there may be things I can't take into account."
"So, everyone should understand this truth," Zhang Hao's eyes swept across everyone, "I said so much because I don't want everyone to encounter danger. I hope we can complete the task safely and take everyone away from here safely." His words were sincere and heartfelt.
Chen Wenjin was deeply touched. She always remembered Zhang Hao's care for them along the way.
If Zhang Hao had not been with them all the time, they would have probably met with an accident long ago and would not have been able to stand here at all.
However, at this moment, she didn't want to be sentimental.
She slowly walked up to Zhang Hao and said with a worried look on her face: "We all understand your intention, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy to move on. Without the boat, how are we going to leave here?"
Just as Zhang Hao and Chen Wenjin were discussing this issue, the behavior of one of the archaeological team members seemed a little abnormal.
In the previous confrontation, he was accidentally patted on the shoulder by the old man. No one paid attention to it at that time, but just now, Hao Xie inadvertently discovered that the archaeologist behaved strangely, with a fierce look on his face and a strange look flashing in his eyes, which immediately aroused Hao Xie's vigilance.
Sure enough, when everyone was not paying attention, he tried to push everyone into the water, muttering something incomprehensible.
Fortunately, Zhang Hao and Hao Xie reacted quickly and led everyone to quickly avoid him when he approached them, preventing him from succeeding.
Chen Wenjin was immediately worried when she saw her team members become like this. She looked at Zhang Hao in surprise: "Zhang Hao, what's wrong with him? His expression is so weird, and you can see that he keeps mumbling, but you can't hear clearly what he is saying, and his eyes are a little dull, as if he is possessed by an evil spirit."
"Why is there such a strange reaction?" Chen Wenjin frowned, "Could it be that when he was confronting the old man just now, he touched something he shouldn't have touched?" She really didn't want to see her team members get into trouble.
After hearing Chen Wenjin's concerns, Zhang Hao and Hao Xie didn't know how to explain it. They felt that Chen Wenjin's analysis made sense and there must be a reason why he behaved so strangely.
Seeing this, Hao Xie reluctantly asked Zhang Hao for his opinion: "How about this, everyone is a little tired, if it really doesn't work, let's take a rest here first, and then discuss what to do next. It's not a good idea to keep wasting time here."
After hearing Hao Xie's proposal, Zhang Hao and Chen Wenjin had no choice but to agree.
Under the leadership of Zhang Hao, everyone prepared to rest on the spot.
At the same time, another team of archaeologists led by Zhang Qilin and Wang Pangzi encountered dry sand as they moved forward.
Looking at the dry sand in front of them, Zhang Qilin and Wang Pangzi were very alert. After all, there were some archaeologists following them. They were responsible for the safety of these members and did not dare to be careless. They knew very well that they had no attacking ability.
At this moment, Zhang Qilin suddenly discovered that there seemed to be air flowing in the dry sand. He thought for a moment, turned back and said to Fatty Wang and the archaeological team members: "Let's go, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Wait a minute!" Fatty Wang hurried forward to stop him. His opinion was different from Zhang Qilin's.
Zhang Qilin looked at Fatty Wang who was standing in front of him and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What's wrong?"
Fatty Wang looked down at the dry sand and said, "I think we should be careful. These seemingly ordinary dry sands may hide great dangers. This reminds me of something."
"If my guess is correct," Fatty Wang said solemnly, "if we step on this dry sand, our lives may be in danger. It is very dangerous. These archaeologists have no power to resist. They may die the moment they step on the dry sand."
Zhang Qilin frowned after hearing what Fatty Wang said: "You mean..."
"That's right," Fatty Wang nodded, "I'm worried that these dry sands have vortex characteristics. If we enter the dry sands, the consequences will be disastrous."
After Fatty Wang’s reminder, Zhang Qilin also felt that it made sense. He did not refute it, but instead studied it carefully with Fatty Wang.
The two men began to carefully test the dry sand in front of them to see if it really had the properties of a vortex.
The other archaeological team members followed closely behind Zhang Qilin and Wang Pangzi, looking nervously and looking around from time to time, fearing that something unexpected would suddenly happen.
A moment later, after testing by Zhang Qilin and Wang Pangzi, they really discovered that the dry sand had the characteristics of a vortex.
Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Qilin in shock. "See, my suspicion was correct. There is a huge danger hidden behind these ordinary dry sands. Fortunately, we were alert."
Just as Fatty Wang and Zhang Qilin were discussing what to do next, the archaeological team members gathered around them nervously, wishing they could leave immediately.
Fatty Wang saw everyone's nervous expressions and patiently comforted them, "Okay, don't be nervous yet. Aren't we trying to find a solution? Besides, we haven't stepped into the dry sand yet, so it's relatively safe. Seeing you all so nervous makes me anxious too. Everyone stay calm, and we will definitely find a way to leave here."
After calming everyone down, Fatty Wang and Zhang Qilin began looking for a way to leave. They didn't want to be trapped here with everyone.
The emotions of these archaeologists are already somewhat unstable, and they may collapse if they are trapped here for a long time.
Just as Zhang Qilin and Wang Pangzi were looking for a way out, a strange insect appeared behind the archaeologists.
The insect was a light blood red, with a layer of hairy body hair, and a pointed thing on its head, like a pair of hard tentacles. It slowly moved its body and approached the archaeological team.
However, the archaeologists did not notice the existence of the insect until it approached their bodies.
The little bug successfully climbed onto the body of an archaeologist. When the archaeologist realized it, it was too late. The bug climbed onto his back and its speed increased significantly.
"Ah..." A scream was heard, and everyone saw the archaeologist lying on the ground shouting and screaming. He seemed to be in extreme pain, and he kept scratching his body with his hands.
The other archaeologists were frightened and fled in all directions, running towards Zhang Qilin and Fatty Wang.
Zhang Qilin and Fatty Wang heard the screams and rushed over, only to find that the archaeologist was already dying. In just a few seconds, he lost his life.
His death was extremely tragic, and the other team members were terrified. They thought that the team member fainted because of being too scared, so one of the team members mustered up the courage to walk over and shout his name to wake him up.
But when he touched the team member's body, he found something strange. He shouted nervously: "Look, there seems to be something in his neck!"
Zhang Qilin and Wang Pangzi heard this and rushed forward to check, only to find that the archaeologist had a burial armor on his body. This kind of insect is bloodthirsty and corrosive, and once it invades a person's body, it can kill a person within a few seconds.
After hearing what Fatty Wang said, everyone panicked and quickly checked the situation around them.
When Wang Pangzi saw the creepy bug, he couldn't help but feel anxious for the archaeologists around him. (End of this chapter)
