"Not really. I just thought...your special ability was the ability to take things from the air. I didn't expect you to have another one."
Hu Bayi raised his neck and felt that the pain was not so severe anymore.
His burns were not serious, just a layer of skin was peeled off. Although it might be painful, fortunately the injury was not serious and would not cause infection.
Otherwise, this journey would really come to an end, and Hu Bayi was unwilling to accept that.
"But I clearly remember that I fired a burst of bullets at you."
Hu Bayi thought about the shooting again. He clearly remembered...
"Have you forgotten? In addition to being able to set fires, I also have telekinesis, can control objects through the air, and blocking bullets is no problem."
All right...
After Rody answered, Hu Bayi fell silent. He stared at Rody as if he were a monster.
Young Master Yang shouldn't be here, he should be on the battlefield. He is definitely a super war god who will kill anyone who stands in his way, including gods.
At the same time, Hu Bayi felt a little more understood and was not as surprised as he had imagined.
Anyway, you won’t worry if you have too much debt, and you won’t be surprised if you have too many surprises.
Hu Bayi thought, there are so many talented people in this world, as well as ghosts and supernatural phenomena.
He is so petty because he has too little knowledge. Maybe one day an immortal will jump out of the grave, or the Qin Emperor and Han Emperor will return from their mausoleum.
While thinking about it, Hu Bayi said to Luo Di with a relieved smile.
Next time you show your power, please let me know so that I can stay away from you to avoid being implicated.
...
"Yes, Master Yang, you see, we two brothers have sacrificed our lives for you, Master Yang. As for the reward..."
Before Hu Bayi even thought about asking Rody to increase his bonus, the fat man came up to Rody and smiled flatteringly.
After that, Hu Bayi pushed him, but the fat man was still not satisfied.
"No, Old Hu, please don't push me. I'm telling the truth. Little Master Yang knows that. He's very rich. Even if he shows a little, it's enough for the rest of our lives..."
Hu Bayi was speechless. He wanted to beat the fat man to death.
Roddy had seen enough of the show, and seeing that Hu Bayi could even get up to smoke a cigarette, he said to the fat man and the other man.
"Well, it's better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. I think Mr. Hu and Mr. Fatty, we get along well. The previous conflicts are over. You can just follow me from now on. Money is not a problem. I can guarantee you can make at least ten or a hundred times more than what you earn now."
As soon as these words came out.
Even the fat guy who dared to think too much was stunned.
Wow... ten times or a hundred times?
Hu Bayi's breathing became faster and he forced out a smile, "Young Master Yang, please don't make fun of Fatty and me. We are both uneducated and unskilled. What else can we do besides... ahem, adventure?"
"If you say that you are impressed by our abilities, then we really don't deserve it and we don't have the qualifications. Let's talk about something else. I think it would be great if you could give us more bonuses."
Although the fat man was greedy for money, he was neither stupid nor foolish. He nodded and agreed to Hu Bayi's words. He was greedy for money so that his brothers would not return empty-handed.
But as a human being, Wang Kaixuan is not stingy and will not cheat others.
"That's right. We brothers appreciate your kindness, Master Yang. Besides, when you go back to the United States, we two can't follow you."
Hearing this, Roddy smiled and stopped trying to persuade him. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there was no need to waste time now.
Although he knew that going to Juejing Ancient City would bring a curse, it was a bit unkind of him not to tell Hu Bayi and the others in advance.
But as long as he can ensure that the curse is lifted, the worst that can happen is that the two of them will live a life of wealth and glory.
Judging from the personalities of Fatty and Hu Bayi, they would continue to fight even without the curse. Maybe they will really become tomb robbers in the future.
That would turn out to be a bad thing.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Think about it yourself. There's no need to be so hasty to refuse. Who can predict what will happen in the future?"
Luo Di stood up and said to Hu Bayi, "You just continue to rest. Professor Chen and Professor Hao over there are obsessed and insist on seeing what is behind the stone door."
Although these intellectuals are not greedy for money, they are greedy for other things, such as fame, new discoveries, etc.
This is even more troublesome than greed for money.
After hearing this, Hu Bayi thought that this was impossible. He was injured and the hair on the front half of his face was burnt. How could he not go to take a look? Shame on his grandmother's family.
No.
Hu Bayi also struggled to get up. Fatty happened to think the same thing. Even if something went wrong, he had to take a look. It would be best to write a note saying that he had been there.
Roddy asked them to go with him.
...
Go back to the bottom of the ancient well.
Led by Shirley Yang, they had already pried open the stone door outside with Professor Chen, and there were still some traces of burning in the air.
Shirley Yang was a little absent-minded. She felt that her brother was hiding a lot of things from her, so she planned to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Roddy.
A group of people passed through and pried open the stone door with a crowbar.
As a result, as soon as they saw it, Chu Jian and Satipeng, who were already frightened enough, were frightened again.
"what!!"
A layer of gray fog spread out.
Even Shirley Yang, who had her vision obstructed by the gas masks, and Professor Chen and others felt anxious and uneasy.
"what happened?"
As a result, when Shirley Yang went forward and the gray fog settled, she found that it was just a pile of dried insect shells.
Looking at the stone walls of the passage leading inside, there are also many corpses of these insects.
"Could these be the bugs that Yang Shuo and the others were talking about?" Shirley Yang frowned and picked up a little with her gloves. These tiny bugs were only the size of sesame seeds, but there were so many of them.
"Maybe this is due to the unique environment causing the appearance of corpse worms?" Professor Chen, who is knowledgeable and experienced, came forward, but unfortunately it was inconvenient for him to see because of the gas mask and reading glasses he was wearing.
I had no choice but to ask the students to pack some.
He is an archaeologist, not a zoologist or botanist.
The group walked through a long brick and stone passage, which was not narrow enough for two people to walk side by side. They walked more than sixty steps, a distance of about forty to fifty meters.
Two more stone doors opened.
Professor Chen was amazed by this unique structure. He had never seen such a tomb in the Central Plains.
Until the last door.
It was discovered that this door was different from the other doors. It was sealed with various animal furs, and there were simple reliefs on the stone door, indicating that it might be the last door.
"Professor Chen, please stand back and be careful."
Shirley Yang didn't know where the bug came from, and was worried about asking Professor Chen to move back.
She and Satipeng carefully cut some of the animal skins on the door, and finally opened the door with great effort.
...
The result is the moment it is opened.
"Wow--"
There was a loud noise. When Shirley Yang stepped back and looked, she saw snow-white bones scattered on the ground in front of her. There was no flesh or blood on them at all. It was different from the ordinary mummies she saw.
They were so dense that they almost covered the entire ground. Not only that, as soon as they touched the ground, the bones of the corpses shattered and became extremely loose.
"These...these can't all be...all human bones!"
Satipeng shuddered all over, and at this moment, a sound of footsteps came from the passage behind the crowd.
And there is the fat man's voice.
"Professor Chen? Are you here?"
When Rody and the other two appeared at the last stone gate, Professor Chen and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
They were a group of intellectuals, and they originally thought that the fat man was a little too mixed up.
Now, it seems that there are several people with high fighting power who feel very safe.
"What's wrong?" Hu Bayi was shocked when he saw the white bones and many pale skulls on the ground.
Roddy also put on a gas mask this time. After all, everyone was wearing one, so he couldn't be careless.
Roddy was stunned again when he saw the vast field of bones, which numbered probably tens of thousands.
This doesn't seem right.
Shirley Yang briefly recounted what had just happened, then calmly looked at the bones in front of her: "These should all be human. This must be a burial pit, right?
"It's hard to say..." Professor Chen picked up a human skull from the ground, looked at it carefully, and shook his head very seriously.
"These people were not simply buried alive. Look at the forehead of one of their skulls. A big hole was cruelly cut out of it."
As they spoke, Rody and Hu Bayi, who had squeezed to the front, also picked up some skulls from the ground. There were too many of them, so many that it made people wonder how so many people could have died here.
Without exception, there are regular holes of varying sizes on the surface, which can be seen at a glance as not being isolated phenomena but man-made.
"How could this be?"
Shirley Yang frowned, and Professor Hao beside her was also frightened. He tried to remain calm, but his voice was trembling. "When we were researching the data of the ancient Jingjue Kingdom, we found that the ancient Jingjue Kingdom had many subordinate small countries that needed to pay tribute to the ancient Jingjue Kingdom year after year."
"If they stop supplying or if they want to resist, the ancient country of Jingjue will send troops to sweep across those countries and brutally execute the citizens of those small countries."
"This small country called Pumo has probably been swept away once."
...
Not right.
Something is wrong.
Roddy frowned, this was completely different from the plot he knew.
In his memory, this Prince Gumo was a great hero who went to assassinate the Queen of Jingjue. Although he did not succeed, he spied on the process of the Queen of Jingjue using her ghost eyes to suck those poor people into the imaginary space.
After returning, he relied on the advice of a Karamay traveler to poison the Queen of Jingjue.
