Chapter 20: The Sixth Legacy, the First Spell!
“Han Li, stop acting like you’re the boss!”
“This archaeological team doesn’t answer to you, a mere connection!”
Hao Ai Guo, who had been silent, suddenly became agitated!
Being looked down upon by someone he considered a “connection” hurt his pride!
Shame burned in his chest, Hao Ai Guo’s face flushed red as he roared at Han Li:
“Don’t think you’re indispensable!”
“You’re not that powerful either, a single bullet could still end you!”
“We’re all human, no one is better than anyone else!”
By the end.
Hao Ai Guo was trembling with rage.
His eyebrows twitched upward, his nostrils flared, resembling a gorilla at the zoo.
Even that didn’t seem enough to vent the shame and fury burning within!
His eyes behind his glasses stared fixedly at Han Li!
If looks could kill, Han Li would have been chopped into eighteen pieces!
Seeing his state, Han Li found it amusing.
“Alright, alright, Ai Guo, keep it down!”
Professor Chen rushed forward, reprimanding his student.
Then, the old professor, in a gentle tone, turned to Han Li:
“Little Han, don’t mind him…”
“He’s always been like this, except for academics, he doesn’t understand social graces, don’t take it personally!”
Seeing how he was being treated differently by his teacher.
Hao Ai Guo’s eyes reddened with anger: “Teacher!”
“Shut up!”
Professor Chen roared in anger.
He was afraid that Hao Ai Guo would be killed in a fit of rage by Han Li!
It wouldn’t just be the death of his student Hao Ai Guo!
He was even more afraid!
That Han Li, a promising young man, would make a mistake because of this idiot Hao Ai Guo!
The argument ended abruptly.
A blizzard came out of nowhere!
The wind howled!
Snow fell heavily!
The blizzard intensified, the sky began to freeze!
People’s noses and cheeks were numb from the cold!
Lao Hu organized everyone to descend the mountain quickly.
Boom!
Just as they had walked some distance!
A deafening roar came from behind!
Looking back!
The blizzard had triggered a massive avalanche, instantly engulfing the entire abyss.
Watching the white mountain crest surge down, unstoppable.
Under the force of gravity, it plummeted rapidly, forming an insurmountable force.
The immense snow wave swallowed the abyss…
Everyone felt, in the face of natural disasters, that human beings were as fragile as ants!
“Whew, close call! If we had been just a little slower, we would have become one with the snow!”
Chu Jian was still shaken, his face pale.
“Nonsense, Fat Ye is blessed, Heaven is on his side!”
Seeing the fat man boasting again, Lao Hu smiled helplessly.
He looked up at the sun in the distance…
In the end, he was grateful that the sunlight remained on him!
The snowflakes were like countless small knives, cutting through the surrounding air, and the fierce wind roared wildly.
Han Li looked calmly at the avalanche in the distance.
Suddenly!
In his vision, the surrounding wind appeared as a series of mysterious swirling patterns!
The snowflakes, following the wind’s trajectory, became faster!
Even like small knives, they tore through space-time!
【You have observed the rise and fall of the wind, understanding the legacy: Wind Control Spell!】
Wind Control Spell!
Mysterious scriptures flowed into his mind!
Han Li saw his own hand forming hand seals, practicing this auxiliary spell day and night!
Beginner!
Proficient!
Mastered!
…
Instant Cast!
When Han Li reopened his eyes, a strange sensation welled up within him!
With a thought!
He interweaved the hand seals of the Wind Control Spell!
“Mr. Han!”
Just as Han Li was eager to try out his first official spell…
Shirley Yang walked over.
“Two hundred thousand dollars.”
“From now on, if you encounter danger, you can choose not to save them!”
Shirley Yang spoke softly, her gaze glancing at Hao Ai Guo and the others in the distance.
“But out of respect for Professor Chen, I can’t force them to leave, I hope you understand.”
Considering everyone’s feelings.
She specifically came to Han Li privately, to continue the deal they had failed to complete earlier!
To avoid offense, she came to Han Li privately.
For this, she offered a ‘high price’ to show her sincerity.
“As you wish.”
Han Li didn’t object.
After all.
Shirley Yang was the one in charge of the archaeological team.
Besides.
Shirley Yang didn’t make things difficult for him when he joined the archaeological team.
He considered it even.
The favors were settled.
Only a pure cooperative relationship remained!
“Thank you.”
Shirley Yang looked at Han Li with gratitude, a smile appearing on her cold and pretty face.
Leaving the Kunlun glacier.
The vehicle traveled north, from the plateau into the Tarim Basin, and finally arrived at a small town called Andir.
Shirley Yang gathered everyone together to discuss the next route.
“According to Professor Chen’s and my previous plan.”
“We plan to set off from Lake Bosten, heading south to find the ancient Kongque River channel.”
“We’ll enter the depths of the desert through the river channel, continue south along the Zidu Anhe River, and search for the ruins of the ancient city of Jingjue along the way.”
Shirley Yang said to everyone, revealing their well-organized plan.
“The desert has a large temperature difference between day and night, and there is almost no water source.”
“We still need to prepare many things.”
Lao Hu pondered, speaking thoughtfully.
The dangers of the desert were no less than those of Mount Kunlun.
“No matter how much we plan, it’s still all talk.”
“If we’re going to enter the desert, we have to find someone who is familiar with the desert to guide us.”
“Sometimes, experience is more reliable than expertise.”
Han Li said, looking at the map spread out on the table.
“I agree! Little Han hit the nail on the head!”
Wang Fatzi immediately raised his hand in agreement.
“Little Han has seen through it.”
Professor Chen smiled and took a sip of tea, agreeing with Han Li’s point of view.
Lao Hu nodded: “Indeed, losing direction is the same as seeking death.”
Chu Jian and Ye Yixin naturally agreed as well.
They weren’t fools.
They knew whose words to listen to in order to survive longer!
Even…
Even Hao Ai Guo, who disliked Han Li, remained silent.
Just like ever-shifting dunes, the desert itself is dynamic and rich.
Plants and water sources are extremely scarce, it is a barren area with dry air.
In the desert, due to the high temperature and dry environment, it is easy to experience heatstroke and dehydration.
Strong winds can even carry sand into the air, causing extreme harm to the human body.
Without an experienced guide, a slight mistake in the desert can be a fatal blow.
Having confirmed the general direction, everyone began to divide their tasks.
Professor Chen, Hao Ai Guo, and his students were responsible for preparing supplies.
Han Li, Shirley Yang, Fatzi, and Lao Hu went to find a guide.
Han Li, familiar with the route from the books, led them to the local police station.
Shirley Yang’s brows furrowed.
Lao Hu and Fatzi looked at each other, with puzzled expressions!
All three of them were confused, how did finding a guide…
Lead them here?
