Chapter 470

The sun is scorching, the mountains are boundless, and the continuous yellowish sandstone stretches to the horizon, as if it is a magnificent painting painted by nature.

Heat waves rolled over the cliffs, and tiny quartz particles shone brightly under the scorching sun. From time to time, one or two were blown to the side of the road. Every grain of sand seemed to be telling the vicissitudes and loneliness of a thousand years.

In the rough cracks of the rocks on the hillside, several sea buckthorns have taken root in this barren land, stubbornly pushing away the obstacles overhead, spitting out a little green wrapped in their cuticles, and fully displaying the miracle of life.

In this situation, one feels that in the next moment, the ancient camel bells will sound from afar, narrating the glory and past of the trade route.

"Dudu!"

However, the roar of cars easily crushed the literary youth's beautiful fantasy about the classical period.

A tourist bus drove by, and the friction between its Michelin tires and the asphalt road raised up clouds of dust. The tourists on the bus ignored the hot air and leaned out, looking excitedly at the destination ahead.

There was a bustling hustle and bustle in front of a row of tourist shops. Small desert vehicles were carrying passengers at full speed through narrow valleys with winding paths, and a rosy miracle appeared before our eyes!
On the rock walls of the surrounding cliffs, tall and majestic halls are arranged in rows, with door eaves alternating and palaces overlapping. Patterns and carvings can be seen everywhere. It is as if a magnificent ancient city has been carved out from the hard rocks.

Looking up at the sky along the cliff, a strip of blue sky shines through the ingenious buildings below. The sunlight penetrates the thin clouds and scatters on these ancient ruins in a mottled manner, coating the cold and hard rocks with a layer of warm golden light.

Tourists exclaimed in admiration and camera shutters kept clicking.

However, not everyone has the mind to appreciate the world cultural heritage in front of them.

In a seemingly deserted corner, the light was slightly dim, and the passing tour groups seemed to avoid this place without noticing.

"Are you sure it's here? There are too many people here!"

Frank Wood looked around at the bustling crowd and asked suspiciously.

"The Temple of Petra has been famous around the world since the 19th century. As a hiding place for a sacred object of God, don't you think it is too conspicuous?"

Alex ruffled her black hair with his fingertips, his expression very determined:
“Perhaps this is precisely the cleverness of the person who hid it. Who would doubt what is right under their nose?

I have already explored the specific location described in the notes. Behind a collapsed secret passage underground, there are extremely obscure spatial fluctuations. "

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Frank's eyes sparkled, and his tone was filled with indescribable joy: "Let's sneak in now, um, just the two of us."

But a bucket of cold water was poured on him, extinguishing most of his enthusiasm.

"Sorry, I can't do it." The vampire king spread his hands with a little embarrassment.

"That spatial anomaly contains a very powerful divine power. In addition to prohibiting spells such as teleportation, even my supernatural abilities are strongly suppressed. I can only climb down slowly using normal methods like ordinary people."

"Do you mean a large-scale demolition?" Frank frowned and shook his head in annoyance.

"This is not the World War II era when the gunfire was constant. If you dare to make a big noise in a world famous place, you will be noticed immediately."

Looking at the tourists laughing and talking in front of them, they both felt a little discouraged.
One is a high-ranking official of a big country with great power, and the other is a dark king with unfathomable strength. They tried their best to find the whereabouts of the treasure they had dreamed of, but were blocked by this ridiculous obstacle. They both felt a strange feeling of suffocation in their chest, which was very uncomfortable.

"Perhaps... we should slow down the plan for a while? After all, several allies of the Supreme Council have just been given the First Embrace by me, and they have gained long life..." Alex said casually.

"No!" The man hesitated for a moment, and finally revealed the truth about why he was so impatient.

"According to the data, the water of the Holy Grail has the excellent effect of quickly improving extraordinary abilities. The ritual of the Federation to prepare the [Super Power Potion] is modeled after it.

This is also the reason why those friends behind us fully support our actions, they are determined to get what they want!"

"So the rumors are true..." Alex's eyes turned slightly, and he whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

Frank clenched his fist and slammed his palm hard.

"Never mind, I'll find a way!" The man thought of the huge interests behind the goal and clapped his hands with determination.

"I will use the country's influence to temporarily close this place for a few days and mobilize manpower to dig it out. You should be ready to enter at any time."

As Frank spoke, his eyes twitched, and he looked at the old and young people passing by as if he was looking at a pile of garbage, and said condescendingly:

"I have never felt that these lowly people are as annoying as they are today."

Alex was silent for a moment, then an elegant smile blossomed on his handsome face. He nodded seriously and said sincerely:

"I have never agreed with your opinion as much as I do today. Those inferior species... are really an eyesore."

There was a deep light in his eyes that flashed away.

……

……

The clear sky in golden autumn is exceptionally high and deep blue. A few white clouds float leisurely by, adding a bit of tranquility and peace to the empty space around.

An old coastal road winds along, dividing the hills and the ocean into two sides.

"Slow down, slow down!"

Accompanied by noisy shouting, a brand new Ford SUV broke through the dusk, and the brown-red paint reflected a water-like brilliance in the early morning sun.

"I told you to slow down!"

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, a muscular arm stretched out roughly and directly strangled the driver's neck, as if he was going to strangle him mercilessly in the next moment.

“Stop, stop, stop, I’m slowing down, I’m slowing down, I can’t breathe!”

The middle-aged man struggled and coughed repeatedly, and relaxed the accelerator in annoyance.

Until his companion let go as he was told, he carefully combed his neat brown hair and smiled coquettishly:
"Holgay, when you buy a new car, you should go for a wild drive. That's the romance of a man!"

"Bullshit! You sissy who plays the piano." The burly brown-skinned woman was too lazy to waste words with him. She stretched out her broad palm again, clenched it into a fist, and waved it in front of him as a deterrent.

"Edkin, your philosophies always sound good, but the only wrong premise is... this is my car!"

The barbarian warrior sister roared and raised her middle finger to express her strong contempt.

"This is the only savings I have left after arranging jobs for my fellow tribesmen. If you dare to damage it, I will twist your head off and kick it like a ball!"

"Don't worry. With our current income, it's only a matter of time before we get rich. Why should we be so stingy as before?"

Edkin turned the steering wheel with a playful smile and smoothly went around two bends.

"There are so many job opportunities on the West Coast. At the current rate, the mortgage on the new house will be paid off soon. I've also picked up a few new deals, so we'll take them later..."

The dark-skinned guy sat in the passenger seat, full of hope for the future, and discussed with everyone how to make money.

"what--!"

As if being cut off from the lively atmosphere, the red-haired girl who had been rubbing her face in distress puffed up her cheeks, finally hugged her head, and shouted in despair:

"I'm just going to a childhood reunion, why are you guys coming with me?"
