My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 346 Speeding Through the Mayan Ruins (Fourth Update)

Shi Aimin crawled out of the tattered tent and stared at the pyramid gradually emerging from the excavation in the distant giant pit.

"This can't go on!" Shi Aimin muttered to himself. He was a worker team leader for the state-owned construction company Shenzhou Construction. Due to an accident, he and his construction team were kidnapped by local drug dealers and then inexplicably ended up here, ordered to excavate the ruins.

Although Shi Aimin didn't understand why the drug dealers would have them dig up this thing, he keenly sensed the importance that group placed on this ruin... Countless TV drama plots flashed through his mind—

Considering the group's cold-blooded attitude, he felt that perhaps the moment they actually completed the project would be the moment he was tricked and killed!

"But what can we do?" Shi Aimin felt helpless. He was a retired soldier, but the problem was that even when he had just left the army and was at the peak of his military skills, he was still helpless in this situation—the enemy had also undergone specialized training and had guns.

He's not some Wolf Warrior from the movies...

"Coo coo!" Suddenly, a clear cooing sound rang out.

"?" Shi Aimin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head in confusion, following the gurgling sound, only to find that the sound was actually coming from his own tent: "???"

What the hell! There are pigeons in his tent?

Wait… Shi Aimin crawled inside, his expression freezing. He only saw a small crow… Whose crow coos like that? But this crow was wearing a gold bracelet? Or a necklace? It looked like it belonged to someone…

No, that's not even the most outrageous part! The most outrageous part is...

"...Firearms???" Shi Aimin was completely dumbfounded. Firearms were almost everywhere in his tent, along with orange bullets. But he had just stepped out of the tent, and there was nothing inside before! Magic? That doesn't make sense... He subconsciously grabbed a handful, and listening to the crisp sound of the bullets colliding, he was sure it wasn't a hallucination.

"..."

Then, the crow, carrying a piece of paper in its beak, hopped down in front of him.

Shi Aimin subconsciously took it, glanced at it, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Arm ourselves up, launch a counterattack and break through... I've also planted some weapons elsewhere, the specific locations are..."

Shi Aimin calmly stuffed the note into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and swallowed it. Then, he watched the crow hop away.

"Is it...people from the organization? But, that doesn't seem right!" Shi Aimin's mind was in a mess, and he finally shook his head: "Never mind!"

Shi Aimin took a deep breath. Without a doubt, now was the time to break the deadlock.

He skillfully attached a pistol to his waist and prepared to go find someone—the drug dealers kept a close watch on them, but this strictness meant that they couldn't leave... This was a canyon with only one exit from beginning to end!
There are a lot of cameras, dogs, drones, etc. around the area, but if we only consider the canyon itself, the level of supervision is still very light.

……

the other side.

Inside a hastily renovated, unremarkable room filled with Native American style.

The elderly man, his hair white, gripped his cane tightly, his eyes filled with gloom: "How much longer?"

"Almost there!" The fully armed white man stood ramrod straight, his voice serious. "We expect to complete the excavation within five days... In fact, the place you specifically emphasized has already been excavated... If you wish..."

"No, no, no, let's wait a little longer!" The old man was clearly tempted, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

Immediately.

A shadow suddenly swept in. "What?" The old man's expression changed slightly, but in the next instant, he lost consciousness.

Chu Zhu calmly materialized, sized up the unconscious old man and the white man, smiled noncommittally, and then pulled the cane directly from the old man's hand: "...This is it!"

Chu Zhu examined the gem at the very top of the cane. Yes… it wasn’t the cane itself! This gem was the key to unlocking the Mayan civilization.

Suddenly, Chu Zhu's ears twitched. He heard a burst of gunfire and his expression turned inscrutable: "It seems that Shi Aimin and his men have begun their operation."

Chu Zhu wasn't worried about the state-owned enterprise workers because, according to the diary, as long as they got their hands on guns, they could guarantee their safety... However, if they went out to fight, they would still suffer some casualties... But!
Chu Zhu glanced thoughtfully at the two men lying on the ground. One was a local drug cartel commander, and the other was the kingpin of Mexico's underground black market… Leaving aside the issue of restraint for now, if this drug cartel commander were handed over to Shi Aimin, it would guarantee that they could escape unharmed with the surviving state-owned enterprise workers and the women.

After breaking through to the Quasi-Third Level, Chu Zhu felt that he was using the Thousand Shadows and Myriad Transformations Divine Power more and more freely. At this moment, he was controlling the shadow crow, using the bracelet to place a large number of weapons in a specific location, while controlling a shadow to rescue Huo Yuan. At the same time, his main body was still here dealing with the Restraint and the mercenary leader... It was as if he was advancing on all fronts at the same time!
Closing his eyes, Chu Zhu's vision connected with that of a crow, and he saw a crow already reuniting with Huo Yuan and Huo Qisi. With a thought, the crow vanished instantly…

Then, Chu Zhu opened her eyes again and created a brand new crow. This crow stretched out its claws and instantly grabbed the mercenary leader's collar, dragging him away.

Then, Chu Zhu, expressionless, shot Jie Zhi—Jie Zhi was the kind of utterly wicked person…Chu Zhu naturally had no intention of letting him go. As for using him! Now that the strategy was in hand…what use could he be?
Stroking the gemstone, Chu Zhu recalled the specific details in the diary, and took a deep breath: "If I remember correctly... that location should be..."

After a while.

Chu Zhu arrived at the bottom of the deep pit, at the very bottom of the Mayan pyramid ruins. Originally, this place was guarded, but clearly, due to the workers' riot… all the guards had been urgently redeployed!

He stared at the pyramid that resembled the Egyptian pyramids, repeatedly comparing it with the photos in his diary from his memory, and confirmed something.

He stretched out his hand, and a crow with a gold bracelet around its neck instantly landed, the gold bracelet reappearing in his palm.

Then, Chu Zhu went straight through the crack and entered... Before long, he found a door.

After a moment's thought, Chu Zhu directly pressed the gem into one of the grooves inside the door—

The long silence even made Chu Zhu wonder if there was something wrong with the door, until then a humming sound rang out... and the stone door slowly opened.

……

Three hours later.

Chu Zhu stretched and stepped out of the pyramid, feeling for the gold bracelet on his arm: "Got it!"

"Then..." Chu Zhu looked in a certain direction, the direction where the state-owned enterprise workers and the girls they had rescued were gathering and fleeing, but he did not join them as he had written in his diary.

Chu Zhu lightly stepped on the ground, and his figure instantly transformed into flames, soaring into the air at lightning speed... He felt that he had done everything he could for these people.

In just a few minutes, Chu Zhu descended from the sky and appeared before Huo Qisi, who was still quietly comforting her daughter.

"!!!" Huo Qisi was truly terrified at this moment.

As for Huo Yuan, her face was also filled with fear, but she did not cry out. She just tightly gripped the hem of her father's clothes.

"...You! Me! This...yes, yes, it's you?" Huo Qisi opened his mouth, but all his words finally turned into a stammering sentence.

Even though he already knew that Chu Zhu possessed extraordinary power, seeing Chu Zhu transform into fire and fall from the sky still shocked him to an indescribable degree.

“Old Huo,” Chu Zhu didn’t explain much to him and went straight to the point: “I’ll give you a makeover for now… The plane tickets are booked… We’re not going back to Mexico City, we’re going to the nearest city, Dax City! We’ll transfer there directly, and if nothing unexpected happens… we should be able to set foot on the land of Nanjing, China tonight.”
