Chapter 395 The Land of Chaos
Whiskey Hillside.
"Swish -"
The cold wind blew through the trees and the rocks, causing a group of people who were busy on the road to fall back and forth. They walked with difficulty in the narrow passage with their packages on their backs.
Most of the troubles in archaeological work are not dealing with the weird conditions in the ruins, the difficulties and dangers on the way, and the unknown natural disasters along the way, especially when walking in such a dangerous area.
Even food and water have to be saved.
Such a dangerous mountain range, even if few people in the local area have ever reached it, and the "Whiskey Mountain" is regarded as unknown by the locals, once involved in it, unfortunate things may happen.
So this time the guide can only be Tu Fu. He has the most information. Under the instruction of Professor Charles Kane and the sponsor Manco Capac, the rest of the investigation team will trust him.
Arriving at the destination by airship, after a short rest, it is a long journey all the way.
After a group of people have experienced the earlier high-spirited fighting spirit exhausted, it is a boring wait.
"Tufu, before I came here, I heard rumors from people outside that there are often villagers or some outsiders who can't go out after entering this mountain, leaving marks in time and those traces will soon disappear.
So even if they chose the cemetery, they didn't dare to move their minds on this mountain, because it might be quite dangerous here. "
Young Master David approached Tu Fu cautiously, he instinctively felt a little uneasy.
"There are similar legends everywhere. Many times the legends are just legends. Once they are deciphered, those legends become bedtime stories. Do you understand what I mean?"
Tu Fu casually dealt with this kid while he was on his way, he didn't mind having a companion on the road to relieve boredom.
"do not really understand."
"Forget it, but since you know it's very dangerous to come here, you're just chasing a girl, and you're willing to risk yourself at such a cost. I have to admit that I underestimated you before."
"Hey, I'm not that miserable. Besides, Bella will be very touched if she knows that I did this."
"Tsk tsk, you are really amazing."
Tu Fu didn't know whether to say he was ignorant or courageous, and he put his life aside.
If the Smith family knew that this kid was acting like this, he would be beaten until he couldn't get out of bed for three days.
David has always had a bright mind. He was born in the Smith family, a leader in the handicraft industry.
It was Tu Fu who decided that sooner or later the people would hang him on a street lamp as a pure-blooded capitalist.
But I didn't expect this guy's attitude towards feelings to be so stubborn and reserved, just to chase a girl, so stupidly came to the mountain range that even many demigod Rosicrucians are afraid of.
It can be called the most affectionate in Göttinghagen.
"Hey, what were you talking about just now?"
Miss Bella, who was carrying a small package behind her back, saw the two muttering something for a long time, and couldn't help but stepped forward to ask.
"It's not a big deal." Tu Fu looked at the wheat-colored, heroic girl, and said without hesitation as soon as he rolled his eyes, "David told me that he likes you, otherwise why bother yourself to come to this hellish place. "
"no!"
David Smith stared wide-eyed and crazily denied, and stared at Tu Fu fiercely, wishing to tear his mouth open, "Bella, listen to me, this guy was joking just now.
Yep, just a silly joke. "
After a short surprise, Miss Bella Wayne made a serious voice: "If that's the case, then it's not okay."
"Ha...haha...that's just a joke, it doesn't matter..."
David is still biting the bullet and using words with high EQ to resolve the embarrassment.
"I mean, you don't have to accompany me to Whiskey Hill, and you don't have to do such a dangerous thing to prove anything." Miss Bella Wayne tilted her head,
"Because, I have already felt your heart along the way."
David, who was originally lifeless, seemed to realize something from her words, and suddenly raised his head, "So you agreed."
"It depends on your performance." Bella said.
After speaking, she hurriedly fled to Professor Kane, as if she had exhausted all her courage by saying these words.
"Tu Fu, does she agree? It must be, right!" David's eyes suddenly filled with hope, and he shook Tu Fu's arm vigorously, trying to get a positive signal from him.
"Don't be so confident, maybe she just wants to get to know me by getting close to you." Tu Fu rolled his eyes and said firmly, "Oh, Pu Xinnan."
"roll!"
It's really clear to the bystanders, if Bella has no interest in him, it won't make David follow him all the time.
But if this idiot boy waits to die and doesn't speak, I don't know how many years he will have to wait. Tu Fu, based on the principle of helping if he can, helped him say this.
Looking at this pair of men and women who were only close to the door, Tu Fu suddenly felt a kind of indescribable envy.
When he was weak, he had nothing, and the only people he could rely on and trust were the Winster family, and only the younger sister who took care of him like an older sister.
However, as this road goes farther and farther, when it is about to approach the end, it keeps losing, and gradually loses the most important things.
Looking back, Hunran realized that a long time had passed. I want to hold it tight again, but it rushes away through my fingers like time.
"Tu Fu, it seems that the path you chose is not quite right."
Just when he was about to reach the destination, a thick male voice woke up the somewhat sad husband.
Professor Kane held the simple map in his hand and compared it with the current path, "If we didn't make a mistake, then only the map is wrong."
The two main peaks of whiskey have the intersection of two constellations, which is a small lake called "Sun Spring".
In the center of several medium-height peaks, there are large ponds with many surrounding springs, but there is only a towering forest in front of you. There is indeed something wrong with this path.
"It shouldn't be."
Tu Fu frowned. Although the map in his hand was only a rough version, it clearly marked the contour lines of the mountains, valleys and mountains, and especially the directions of the two main peaks.
He can guarantee that starting from the area where he just landed, he will always follow the position pointed by the pointer.
"It's better to use it to see."
Tu Fu pondered for a moment, then took out a box contained in Violence's carry, which is the taboo "Compass of Heart Direction".
The moment he took out that thing again, Tu Fu thought hard about the entrance to the passageway of the Incasso ruins, and imagined the scene of the lake on the high slope in his mind.
Swish Swish Swish——
He just took it out, but the pointer on the compass was disturbed, or it had reached the position he wanted in his mind. The metal pointer kept turning, as if it was broken.
"Has the taboo already expired?"
"Oh, I've heard of that compass. I remember that it is the treasure of Captain Vader of the Black Medan. It has been lost at sea for a long time, and it is indeed in your hands."
Manco Capac took a meaningful look at the artifact.
"So what do you want to say." Tu Fu raised his eyebrows, he didn't think the other party would say nonsense.
"That compass is not necessarily invalid, at least not for the time being, but have you ever thought that the place we are looking for is actually the area pointed by the pointer."
"What's the meaning?"
Kapac said something inexplicable like a riddleman, "If you don't believe me, let the team stop for a while, then go back, return to the original place, and see what happens."
Tu Fu's heart sank, and if he continued to walk, he would only go further and further down the wrong path, and then informed Professor Kane of this decision.
The latter frowned: "Why don't we talk about it when we get there, it's not good to make decisions like this without authorization."
"Sir, the situation is not right, please trust me once." Tu Fu dared not leave alone.
He was afraid that if that guess was true, he would not be able to come back.
Under his repeated persuasion, Professor Kane made this proposal to many experts in his own name.
Sure enough, as soon as this decision was made, some people in the already disorganized team immediately became dissatisfied.
"I told you a long time ago, what do you think about letting a child lead the way?"
"Crazy decision, we have no time to waste."
"Charles, you'd better give us a reasonable explanation later."
All the industry insiders in the same industry complained dissatisfiedly.
No wonder, in such a difficult high-altitude mountain, it is not wise to consume any physical strength, which is related to the final success or failure, not to mention returning to the original road and coming back.
Just for the sake of Professor Kane, although the members of the expedition team complained, they still went with the team afterwards.
"This area should be remembered."
Tu Fu used a red marker to draw a big X mark on a tree in this forest area.
After remembering the whole picture of this area clearly, let the team return to the original journey.
The other experts have long been tired of such a rush, and complained a few words about the hardships of the journey from time to time on the road. The fact that this waste of energy is too stupid.
On the contrary, the trio of the Rosicrucian Society remained extremely silent along the way.
It took a full hour for this return trip, and the expedition team had only embarked on the road they had traveled once again.
They wanted to continue complaining when they returned to the original place, but a weird scene happened.
In the jungle area just now, everyone only heard the sound of "swish" water, and a stream flowed from the top of the peak to the bottom of the peak along the slope.
Not to mention that Tu Fu just made a sign tree.
Even the forest here disappeared in the original area.
"how is this possible."
Tu Fu widened his eyes, witnessing an incredible scene.
A group of experts who were still complaining just now were also shocked by the same weird deed.
It was only then that Manco Capac, who was at the back of the team, said quietly: "What a slow reaction, did you realize until now that Whiskey Hill is not static.
It changes over time and is a place of real disarray. "
