Chapter 1249 Tangled

When Li Pete was talking with Wei Kang, Zhang Zian bit the bullet and looked at the map again. Judging by the scale on the modern map, the area of ​​the so-called Sea of ​​Devils is not big, and the shape on the ancient map is like It is a depression or valley. If Lipett and the others go well, it will only take two days at most to enter and exit.

The scientific expedition team can use these two days to look for traces of the original Egyptian cat on the periphery of the Devil's Sea.

sounds good.

but……

This also means that the two branches will be temporarily separated.

To be honest, the current scientific expedition team is divided and the quality is worrying. They rely on Li Pete's team for everything, like a child who needs a nanny. Lipett.

Li Pitt's team went deep into the sea of ​​devils. It would be fine if nothing happened, but if something happened... the scientific expedition team had to leave the desert on their own.

After getting along for a few days, he got to know Li Pitt's team members. Except for the fact that they always like to talk about mysticism during their breaks, they are beyond reproach in other aspects. They are much more reliable than Wei Kang's four major disciples. No, only to make him envious.

If the scientific education team leaves the desert by itself, it may be quite difficult.

Wei Kang had already acquiesced to Lipett's proposal, and Nabari wanted to say more, but Lipit said first: "Mr. Nabari, if you are afraid of entering the sea of ​​devils, it's okay, you can stay outside with the scientific expedition team and wait for us to come out." .”

Nabari was obviously irritated, and he raised his voice and said, "I don't have the heart to watch you die! You don't know how terrifying the sea of ​​devils is!"

In the eyes of Wei Kang and Lipett, Nabari's vision is very narrow, in other words, he has never seen the world. No matter how terrible he describes the sea of ​​​​devils, it is just exaggeration.

"Mr. Lipett, what if you don't come out as planned?"

Zhang Zian suddenly asked a sharp question.

Lippett asked lightly, "Jeff, do you think we will encounter danger in the sea of ​​devils, such as... meeting devils?"

His team members chuckled.

"I mean, we have to consider this possibility." Zhang Zian was unmoved, "The supplies are limited, the scientific expedition team can't wait outside indefinitely, there must be a time limit."

Li Pete had a few words with his players,

Stretch out three fingers, "Three days. You wait for us outside for three days. If we haven't come out after 72 hours after entering the sea of ​​devils, you should leave first."

Along the way, although Lipett's team members sometimes had low morale, they never doubted or wavered about the goal of the trip. Even when they heard Nabari describe the sea of ​​​​devils as terrifying, they laughed it off.

Nabari tried his best to persuade him again, but both Wei Kang and Lipett had made up their minds, but Wei Kang's disciples were uneasy. If possible, they would rather go home now and return to the past. Spatted by everyday life, they've had enough of this hapless desert.

Zhang Zian is the most conflicted in his heart. On the one hand, he tends to stay outside with the scientific expedition team, which is safer. After all, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall; on the other hand, he also considers going in with Li Pete and the others. Sea of ​​Devils.

He sneaked a glance at Fina, only to see that it squinted its eyes, staring at the direction of the Sea of ​​Devils.

Even if he chooses to stay outside, it seems that Fina will go in, and he is definitely worried about letting Fina take risks by herself.

In addition, the problem of the statue of the cat god in the car has not been resolved. If there is really an unknown pyramid in the sea of ​​devils, it would be a good place to place the statue of the cat god.

Helping Li Pitt and the others is actually helping themselves, because when they leave the desert, the scientific expedition team still relies on Li Pitt and the others.

From the map, it is estimated that it is about a day and a half away from the Devil's Sea, and Zhang Zian still has a day and a half to worry about.

Seeing that they had made up their minds, Nabari sighed, gave up persuasion, and murmured prayers to God.

After lunch, at 3 p.m., the intensity of the sun decreased, and the convoy continued to set off.

The closer you are to your destination, the closer you are to going home. Although the sun is still scorching, most people are in high spirits.

According to Li Pete's request, Nabari led the team to deviate from the ancient camel road and headed for the unknown depths of the desert.

From now on, even Nabari is not sure what lies ahead. He only walked this road with his father decades ago, but the road in the desert, let alone decades ago, is even dozens of days. There may have been earth-shaking changes in the past.

Time passed slowly, and in the torment of living through the years, the sun slanted to the west, and the sky also changed from bright to dark, and it was evening.

Nabari, who was driving at the front, stopped the car and told Zhang Zian through the intercom that there was another tall sand dune in front of him, and asked him to get out of the car and use the drone to check the situation.

When the other team members heard the conversation, they stopped the car one after another, stretched their waists and got out of the car to walk around. Two or three people gathered together, talking and laughing, and some people talked about their guesses about the Sea of ​​Devils with great interest.

It's getting late, and it is estimated that camping can be done after crossing this dune. In addition, the high temperature has subsided, and everyone's mood is more comfortable, just like the feeling when they are about to get off work on Friday evening.

Zhang Zian piloted the drone into the sky. He has done this many times and it has become a routine. Every time he successfully completes the mission, the team members have seen it a lot, and they have lost interest in watching.

Nakhbet flew over the sand ridge, first came to a 360-degree panoramic view, and transmitted the image to the screen of the remote control in real time, so that he could roughly estimate which side of the terrain is lower. According to experience, the terrain is lower The slope on the other side tends to be gentler.

The light in the evening is not very good. The places where the sun shines are still bright, but the places where the sun is not illuminated are very dark, and the contrast between light and dark is very strong.

The setting sun from the west had a strong impact on the line of sight, so Zhang Zian fine-tuned the height and shooting angle of Nakhbet to minimize the interference of the setting sun.

When halfway through the 360-degree panoramic shooting, something suddenly flickered on the remote control screen, but when Zhang Zian looked at it again, it stopped flickering.

"Strange, what?"

He reversed the joystick and steered Nakhbet to turn back in the opposite direction.

Another flash.

There was nothing wrong this time, a flash of something in the distance behind the ridge.

He made Nakhbet hover where he was, pointed the camera in that direction, adjusted the focus, and zoomed in on the picture.

A fuzzy black spot appeared in the picture. Because the light was too dark, even if the focal length was pulled to the farthest, it was still unclear what it was.
