Chapter 460 The King of Cheating

Su Ning's decisiveness shocked Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and others. Recalling the entire process, there was almost no pause, and all five bandits were dealt with in one go.

Hu Bayi has always been very wary of Suning. In the past, he was only afraid of Suning's mysteriousness, but now he is also afraid of his cold-blooded cruelty, so the look in his eyes when he looks at Suning is no longer as casual as before.

Suning, Hu Bayi and the other two entered the "Stone Tomb". What caught their eyes was the miserable situation inside the tomb. This tomb should be a family burial chamber. The burial objects inside were extremely simple and shabby. It was obvious that these bandits were here for the "dried corpse".

"This is too shabby, there's nothing inside!" Wang Kaixuan felt a little disappointed after walking around.

"Suning, what should we do next?" Hu Bayi ignored Wang Kaixuan's complaints and looked at Suning and said.

"First, put the bodies of these elders back into the coffins and close the lids again. Then, we'll drag those five guys in to be buried with them."

"Ah? Good!" Hu Bayi was also surprised by Su Ning's dislike for the bandits. He looked at Wang Kaixuan and said, "Fatty, come over and help."

Wang Kaixuan reluctantly ran over to help Hu Bayi carry the dried corpses, and then asked Suning, "Suning, what do these foreign bandits want with these dried corpses?"

"Sell it for money!"

"Ah? Mummy corpses can be sold for money?" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but have golden light in his eyes.

"Of course! These foreign bandits have no humanity and bottom line." Suning sighed angrily, then looked meaningfully at the moved Wang Kaixuan.

"Huh? Suning, don't worry, I won't become like them." Facing Suning's meaningful eyes, Wang Kaixuan felt a panic inexplicably.

After Suning and the other two were busy for a while, they felt proud when they saw the dried corpse being placed in the coffin again. Looking at the five corpses of the bandits that were carried into the tomb and were already stiff, Suning broke their leg bones and made them kneel down to apologize.

After finishing all the things here, Suning was very satisfied with his masterpiece. Then the three of them returned to the ground and carefully covered the entrance of the cave with stones and sand.

"Brother Su, Brother Hu, is there any treasure underground?" Yingzi, who has always been timid and dared not go into the tomb, looked at Su Ning and Hu Bayi curiously.

"Haha, Yingzi, you're almost a money-grubber. There's nothing in this tomb."

"hey-hey."

In fact, Anliman has always suspected that Suning and his three companions are tomb robbers, so he did not take them through the tombs he knew along the way. The tomb of Prince Gumo in Gujing and the stone tomb today were really just coincidences and Suning and his companions' strong strength. Today, Anliman has been staring at Suning and his four companions and found that they are actually very respectful to these ancestors, and then he couldn't help but feel relieved.

The five people then set off again and headed south along the Zidu Underground River. They traveled for another day, and then Anliman got out of the car with a confused look on his face, looked around, and even squatted down to scoop up a handful of yellow sand and scattered it.

"Boss Su, I really can't help you from now on. I can't find any trace of the Zidu Underground River." An Liman looked at Su Ning with a wry smile.

"Oh?" Suning was still a little surprised, which meant that they were about to reach Cishan.

Hu Bayi kept fiddling with the compass and the watch on his wrist, then came to Suning with a confused look on his face, "Suning, my compass and watch are both broken."

"Old Hu, we may be approaching the Jingjue Ancient City."

"Huh? Why?"

"Before entering the Jingjue Ancient City, we must pass through the Magnetic Mountain. There is something wrong with the compass and watch. It is obvious that we are now near the Magnetic Mountain."

"Oh! So that's it!"

"Uncle Anliman, we will continue to go south. You just need to remember the route we take along the way."

"Okay! This one's easier!"

After confirming the route, the five people once again boarded the RV, which was covered with yellow sand and had many bullet holes on its body, and continued to drive south. Soon, the five people saw two huge black magnetic mountains.

At this time, Shirley Yang and Professor Chen's "weak" archaeological team entered the Taklamakan Desert under the leadership of team leader Zhou Chaoxian. Due to Zhou Chaoxian's strict requirements, the archaeological team did not have the strange situation of washing hands with water, and each person's daily water consumption was also fixed.

In this way, the seven-member archaeological team, riding thirty strong camels and carrying a large amount of fresh water and food, started their desert adventure. However, they didn't know that they were following behind Suning's five-member team and eating dust.

"Captain Zhou said the desert was so dangerous, but I didn't realize how dangerous it is!" Four-eyed Satipeng said with a nonchalant smile.

"That's right! The desert is so beautiful!" Ye Yixin agreed, and then suddenly burst into song on a whim, "I really want to sing a song!"

The team leader Zhou Chaoxian, who was walking in front, of course heard the discussions and sighs of these "weak chickens", but he was full of disdain and sneer at them in his heart. When they first entered the desert, everything was new to them, but after staying in the desert day after day, they would get aesthetic fatigue, and these "weak chickens" would soon complain bitterly.

This is just like a man who marries a fairy-like wife. He is absolutely excited when they first get married, but after a period of living together day and night, this man will easily get "aesthetically fatigued". At this time, even a "pig chop" will make him unable to bear it if she flirts with him.

Things turned out just as Zhou Chaoxian had expected. The next day, everyone in the archaeological team was listless. They no longer had the excitement of the first day. They were all thirsty and unwilling to say a word.

"Captain Zhou, I'm so thirsty!" Ye Yixin looked at Zhou Chaoxian pleadingly, "Can you give me some more fresh water?"

"Ye Yixin, your singing was very nice yesterday. How about singing for us again?" Zhou Chaoxian looked at Ye Yixin with a sneer.

"I'm sorry! Captain Zhou, I know I was wrong." Ye Yixin was so ashamed that she almost cried.

"Shut up! If you start crying, turn around and go back now!" Zhou Chaoxian looked at this weakest of weaklings with disgust.

"Ah" Everyone was stunned by the furious Zhou Chaoxian, and no one dared to step forward to rescue Ye Yixin.

"Professor Chen, I hope you will learn from this lesson and respect nature from now on."

"Captain Zhou, we will all remember this lesson." Professor Chen nodded awkwardly and assured.

"Well, today we'll make an exception and provide each person with half a pot of fresh water. This won't happen again."

"Thank you, Captain Zhou." Everyone was surprised.

At this time, Ye Yixin was the first to be assigned to Danshui. She looked at Zhou Chaoxian with tears on her face. She unconsciously felt that Zhou Chaoxian was particularly masculine and charming, and she no longer had the rejection and disgust she had at the beginning.

Ye Yixin's change in mentality was subtle. Shirley Yang was the only one among the seven people in the archaeological team who noticed something. However, she was also scared by Zhou Chaoxian and was unwilling to provoke the irritable team leader Zhou again.

Along the way, the archaeological team smoothly arrived at the ruins where Suning and his five companions had once taken shelter from the black sandstorm. At first glance, they noticed the nearby white bones and the skeletons of sand leopards and sand wolves that had no time to escape.

"Aiguo, these look like they've been eaten by something, otherwise they wouldn't be in this state." Professor Chen squatted down and began to study the bones. "Teacher, I suspect they were eaten by wolves or leopards."

"Not necessarily! It's more likely to be desert army ants." Zhou Chaoxian on the side suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? Desert army ants?"

"Team Leader Zhou, Professor Chen, do you smell a fragrance in the ruins?" Shirley Yang suddenly said to everyone.

"Oh! It's true! It smells really good." Everyone else was surprised by Shirley Yang's reminder.

"Well, Miss Yang is very attentive. This could be because someone here used something with a strong scent to repel the ants," Zhou Chaoxian said carefully. He then instructed the archaeological team, "Everyone, please do not tamper with these ruins. We must leave this place tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Team leader Zhou, I want Satipeng and Chu Jian to bury these bones. Is this okay?" Professor Chen asked Zhou Chaoxian.

"Well, go ahead!" Zhou Chaoxian nodded helplessly.

After getting Zhou Chaoxian's permission, Satipeng and Chu Jicheng immediately ran up to collect the bones. Then, while digging the pit, they touched the stone man with giant pupils. Then, they forgot Zhou Chaoxian's instructions and started digging indiscriminately.

Looking at the childish and ridiculous archaeological team, Zhou Chaoxian was really speechless at this time. He thought that they had already dug it out, and there was no point in continuing to be angry. So Zhou Chaoxian was angry and said nothing.

After Ye Yixin's mentality changed, she kept an eye on this mysterious man, noticed his displeasure and anger, and then came to Zhou Chaoxian's side.

"Team Leader Zhou, I shouldn't have wasted water yesterday."

"Forget it! Just be careful next time. This is the second largest shifting desert in the world. There are dangers everywhere. You have to be more careful since you are weak."

"Yes! Captain Zhou."

Everyone spent the night peacefully. Early the next morning, Zhou Chaoxian saw Professor Chen still studying the stone man with giant pupils. He suddenly felt a little annoyed and shook his head. He then began to pack his bags and prepare to set off again.

Satipeng was a "king of naughty hands". He actually reached out to touch the eyeballs of the stone man with giant pupils. The already moving eyeballs immediately began to move, and ants as big as fingers crawled out one after another.

"Huh? Ant?"

Hearing Satipeng's terrified cry, everyone turned around in confusion, then widened their eyes in shock. Soon, huge ants appeared in front of everyone as densely packed as an army.

"Idiot! Run!" Zhou Chaoxian roared angrily at the stunned Professor Chen and others.

"Ah?" Hearing Zhou Chaoxian's roar, Professor Chen and others woke up as if from a dream and ran towards the exit.

Zhou Chaoxian hurriedly took the engineer shovel in his hand and desperately slapped the dense army ants. Unfortunately, the stupid Satipeng was still eaten by the army ants.

"Oh help!"

Hearing Satipeng's hysterical screams, Zhou Chaoxian knew that he was completely hopeless and this "alien enthusiast" was destined to die here.

"Captain Zhou, get out of the way!" Suddenly, Shirley Yang's arrogant shout came from outside the ruins, and then Zhou Chaoxian saw a black stick being thrown into the ruins.

"Oh my god!" Soon Zhou Chaoxian and Satipeng were surrounded by tear gas.

"cough"

Zhou Chaoxian closed his eyes and groped for the arm of the unconscious Satipeng, and dragged Satipeng away from the ruins filled with tear gas with difficulty. As soon as he left the ruins, Zhou Chaoxian kept coughing and crying, and at this time Satipeng was only half dead.

After seeing Satipeng and Zhou Chaoxian escape, Chu Jian and Shirley Yang dared to run up and dragged Zhou Chaoxian and the unconscious Satipeng to a safe place.

"Hurry! Check Satipeng's wound and apply Yunnan Baiyao on him." Zhou Chaoxian just breathed a sigh of relief, then closed his eyes in pain and gave instructions to everyone.

After hearing Zhou Chaoxian's instructions, Shirley Yang and Chu Jian finally reacted and began to hurriedly apply medicine and feed life-saving anti-inflammatory drugs to the unconscious Satipeng.

"Team leader Zhou, should we run away a little further? I still feel it's not safe here." Professor Chen looked at Zhou Chaoxian, who had recovered, with lingering fear.

"Professor Chen, you seem to be afraid now. Why didn't you follow my instructions in the beginning?"

"I"

"Professor Chen, you are paying the price for your willfulness again."

"Team Leader Zhou, we know we were wrong. Now we should consider how to deal with the next thing." Professor Chen said to Zhou Chaoxian with a wry smile.

"Now that it's like this, of course we're going to go back directly."

"No! We can't fail at the last moment." Shirley Yang immediately refused.

"Hmph! Are we going to let Satipeng die right away?" Zhou Chaoxian looked at the unreasonable Shirley Yang in disbelief.

"On this trip to the desert, I must find the Ancient City of Jingjue."

"Team leader Zhou, what Shirley said makes sense. We will not give up easily." Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo looked at each other, and then explained firmly to Zhou Chaoxian.

"Since you insist so much, each of you should write a disclaimer." Looking at the insistent people, Zhou Chaoxian made a helpless arrangement and said, "Chu Jian and Ye Yixin, take the five camels and fresh water, as well as the seriously injured Satipeng, back to Bosten Lake."

"Ah? Captain Zhou, I'm not going back!" Ye Yixin immediately shouted anxiously.

"Shut up! You have no right to refute. Return to Bosteng Lake along the same route immediately." Zhou Chaoxian was in no mood to argue with Ye Yixin and the others.

"Xiao Ye, Chu Jian, Team Leader Zhou's arrangement makes sense. You should return the same way you came!" Professor Chen looked at the two semi-students with a wry smile, "Satipeng must receive formal treatment as soon as possible."

"Professor Chen"

"Alright! That's it!" Professor Chen stopped Chu Jian and Ye Yixin from arguing. "We also need to write a disclaimer as soon as possible. We can't let Team Leader Zhou be implicated by us."

After receiving the waivers from Shirley Yang, Hao Aiguo and Professor Chen, Zhou Chaoxian set off again southward with 25 camels. Chu Jian and Ye Yixin rode five camels, along with plenty of fresh water and supplies, and returned to Lake Bosteng with the half-dead "alien enthusiast" Satipeng.
