Chapter 49
The Temple

“Didn’t say anything, just scared him a bit, so he wouldn’t run around!”

Facing the curious gazes of the others, Bai Tian Yu shook his head and said casually.

“6~~~”

………

Holding a notebook, Shirley Yang excitedly looked at the dilapidated ancient city in the distance.

“This is the ancient city of Jingjue. If we’re talking about where the tomb of the Jingjue Queen is, it should be near the temple!”

“Shirley, you’re right. And there should be a water source near the temple!”

As they walked, the five of them reached the center of the city.

Looking at the yellow sand around them, Bai Tian Yu couldn’t help but frown.

“Where do we go next? Where is the temple?”

He turned to Lao Hu, hoping he could come up with an idea.

In the original story, it was this guy who discovered the temple. Lao Hu should know where it is.

Lao Hu didn’t disappoint Bai Tian Yu. He extended his hand and pointed to a giant eye relief.

Oh, it seems that Bai Tian Yu was worrying too much. The ancient city of Jingjue was, after all, a worshiper of the snake god. Naturally, it would use the eye as its main totem.

But Bai Tian Yu remembered that the temple was on the other side of the eye totem, wasn’t it?

Uh, behind them?

“Hey, come quick, there’s a hole here!”

At that moment, Wang Pangzi, who knew when he ran to a high slope, waved to everyone.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think he found something good.

“Hey, ouch~”

Before anyone else could react, Wang Pangzi suddenly disappeared. Everyone was startled. They thought there was danger here.

“Fatty, are you okay?”

“Fatty??”

“Fatty!!!”

When everyone ran to where Wang Pangzi disappeared, they saw him at the bottom of the hole.

Seeing that Wang Pangzi was unharmed, Lao Hu breathed a sigh of relief.

This fat bastard always made people worry.

Lao Hu looked back and found that this was exactly opposite the eye totem. He had an idea and spoke.

“Could this be the entrance to the temple?”

“Very likely, shall we go down and take a look?”

Everyone agreed with Lao Hu’s speculation.

“Let’s go!”

When everyone reached the bottom of the temple, Wang Pangzi also got up from the ground.

“I’m gonna be killed by this fat guy. What kind of broken place is this!”

Unfortunately, there was no one to answer his question. No one could help it. Everyone’s attention was drawn to the temple.

Watching it on TV is different from seeing it in reality.

Bai Tian Yu was also amazed by the temple’s decorations.

Of course, he was just thinking about how much manpower and resources it would take. There wasn’t much else to it.

After all, Bai Tian Yu wasn’t a history scholar and didn’t know the value of this place.

On the other hand, Professor Chen was like he’d seen some beautiful woman. He excitedly went forward to observe the buildings around him.

Only Lao Hu wanted to learn something and followed Professor Chen to listen to his explanation, including Shirley Yang.

Bai Tian Yu, on the other hand, exchanged glances with Wang Pangzi and walked towards the top.

There was a giant jade eye there. When Wang Pangzi saw the jade eye, he couldn’t take his eyes off it.

This guy was like he’d seen a beautiful woman whenever he saw treasure. He couldn’t move.

This was a perfectly formed jade eye, similar to the legendary Kwi-Ch’in Pearl, but it was obviously not the Kwi-Ch’in Pearl.

It was probably a fake.

“Lao Bai, such a big jade eye, it must be worth a lot of money, right?”

“Big Brother, it’s so big, how do you want to take it?”

They didn’t shy away from Professor Chen’s presence. After all, the archaeological team was basically nonexistent.

He was the only one left. Professor Chen could only continue if he relied on them.

“I don’t care, this big eye, I want it. Don’t you dare fight me for it!”

Saying that, Wang Pangzi was about to reach out to touch the jade eye, which startled Lao Hu, who had just noticed the jade eye.

“Fatty, what are you doing!”

“Don’t touch it!”

It wasn’t that Lao Hu was scaring anyone, but this place looked weird at first glance. Then, Wang Pangzi wanted to touch this jade eye as soon as he got there.

If there was a mechanism, everyone would be buried with him.

Lao Hu didn’t want to die at this time!

Of course, with Bai Tian Yu here, nothing too bad would happen.

But you can’t let Bai Tian Yu clean up the mess after you make a mess, can you? He’s not their babysitter!

“Xiao Wang, this is a priceless treasure. How can it be measured by money?”

Professor Chen also spoke, but in the face of Professor Chen’s rebuke, Wang Pangzi acted as if he hadn’t heard.

If the members of the archaeological team were still alive, Wang Pangzi would have been a little afraid and wouldn’t have been so blunt.

But the archaeological team was all dead. Wang Pangzi didn’t care about Professor Chen. He didn’t even care about him.

This attitude made Professor Chen’s face turn dark. However, seeing that there were so many of them, Professor Chen didn’t say anything more.

Although Shirley Yang felt that Wang Pangzi’s actions were a bit disrespectful, she didn’t want to speak, remembering her identity.

Shirley Yang had not forgotten that Professor Chen had tricked them once before coming here. If Bai Tian Yu had not reacted in time, they might have missed this wind season.

Women are very vindictive!

If Professor Chen wasn’t her elder, Shirley Yang really wouldn’t want to bring him in.

You’re not a young man anymore. What are you doing daydreaming and seeing what kind of desert this is. Aren’t you looking for death!

“We should still look for any mechanisms. Don’t forget what we’re here for!”

Lao Hu reminded everyone that they were here to find the tomb and water source.

But after seeing the jade eye, they subconsciously forgot their original purpose. What’s going on?

There’s something wrong with this jade eye!

Bai Tian Yu immediately understood. This jade eye was definitely not just for summoning the Jingjian Ahans like in the original story.

Looking at Wang Pangzi, he knew that this guy, although greedy, couldn’t be so reckless in front of Professor Chen.

And he also had a sense of madness. If the jade eye hadn’t shattered in the end, Bai Tian Yu suspected that Wang Pangzi might even have taken out a knife and killed someone.

“No need to look for any mechanisms. It should be the jade eye!”

Through Bai Tian Yu’s perception, he found that only the jade eye gave Bai Tian Yu a sense of danger, and also the top.

He pointed his flashlight at the top, and a scene that made Bai Tian Yu’s scalp tingle appeared.

The very top of the temple was also a giant eyeball. What made Bai Tian Yu’s scalp tingle was the liquid-like thing that seemed to be flowing in the eyeball.

It was all Jingjian Ahans. Just imagine, in the desert, there were dozens of Jingjian Ahans that could kill the archaeological team and foreigners.

There were at least thousands of them. Once they fell, except for Bai Tian Yu, everyone would die!

Of course, that’s if they were caught off guard. …
