Chapter 20 Chapter 19 Death Valley

America, New York, it's late at night. "Are you sure they went?" "Subordinates are sure! They are heading in that direction! If there is no accident, they should be there tomorrow morning!" "Well. You did a good job on this matter! Go to the old housekeeper to get a reward!" "yes!" Seeing this subordinate leave, Mr. Qiao nodded in satisfaction.This matter has not been going well, but fortunately, the man walked on the path he wanted him to go. At this time, another subordinate came in a hurry: "Master, that addict!" "Oh, then did you find out anything?" Old Qiao still had a smile on his face.

"It's still what I said before. The things haven't been brought out, and he begged us to show us the way to find them. Look?—" "Could it be true what he said earlier?" Qiao Lao muttered to himself.Since he caught "Skinny Monkey" that day, he has exhausted all means, no matter how he asks, that guy just insists that he didn't bring out the thing.Qiao Lao finally ordered his subordinates to inject him with heroin, just to make him addicted, and then when his drug addiction broke out, he would use drugs to force him to tell the truth.Unexpectedly, in this way, what the kid said was still the same.

"Hit it, let me put it through him again, and see if he's telling the truth!" "yes!" In a certain old castle in Europe, a black shadow quietly entered through an open window. "Oh, how many times have I taught you, don't open the window when you go home, go through the door! Why can't you remember?" Hei Ying thought he was unaware of anyone, but he didn't expect a joking voice to sound above his head. He followed the voice and looked up: "Ah, young master!" "What? You don't know each other so soon?" Master Aurel looked at the man in front of him with a sneering smile on his lips.

"Yes, ah, no, it's fine if you don't know anyone, how can you not know you, young master?" The black shadow immediately made a flattering smile. "Okay! Let me say, President George, shouldn't you stay in the United States to preside over a large auction right now, why are you so impatient to climb the window just after dark?" When Aurel said this, he suddenly With a helpless face, it's like a boy next door is greeting you kindly. The president of the imposing multinational company, was made into a cold sweat by such a sentence. "Ah! ah—" In Altai, thousands of miles away, maybe the "little monk" is very good at identifying the territory of wild beasts, or maybe it's because the wild beasts in this mountain are full and not hungry. There was no attack by wild animals.At dusk, they arrived at the valley pointed by Buhebayi without any risk.

According to the agreement with the guide Buhebai, Da Qi decided to camp outside the valley to wait for Buhebai to return.But this honest Kazakh with a good reputation in the local area did not know what happened this time, but he broke his promise. Everyone waited until late at night, but no one was seen. The next day, until it was three poles high in the sun, the guide Buhebayi was still missing, and Da Qi was in a hurry to circle back and forth. But Da Qi dared not give the order to set off before the guide came.Because this valley is a well-known "Death Valley" in the local area, the guide Buhebayi told him carefully about the magic of this valley before departure.It will strike people or animals that enter by lightning. If it enters without knowing how deep it is, there may be heavy casualties, but no one in this team will be safe, so Da Qi can only worry here.

"Did there really be a mysterious lightning strike in this valley?" Chu Feng didn't believe it, probably because the local people spread rumors. "It's a fact!" Da Qi did the investigation. Sangbu also chimed in: "Well, I've heard of it too, there's such a thing!" "Such a beautiful valley, what danger can there be!" While the others were discussing, young people like Ling Ning and William were also whispering. "I can't see any danger anywhere!" William took a wild photo with his camera.This valley is no different from other valleys along the way, but more beautiful.The sun was shining brightly in the valley at this time, and there was not a trace of fog or things to obscure the view.The grass at the bottom of the valley is tender green, and the green grass is mixed with patches of wild flowers, both red and yellow. The most beautiful one is a purple flower cluster. The purple flowers are set off by the green grass, making them more delicate and beautiful. ,noble!

This looks like a flat valley, what danger will there be?Nine out of ten people present did not believe it.But for this operation, Da Qi was the captain along the way, and he didn't speak at this time, so everyone didn't act without authorization. "Why don't you, captain, let me explore the way?" The "little monk" volunteered. Da Qi felt that this might be a solution. The "little monk" is good at surviving in the mountains and discerning the way. Waiting is not the way to go. Let him explore the way.Thinking of this, he nodded. The "little monk" had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the captain nodded, he jumped three feet high: "Alright! I'm going!" After speaking, he jumped to the front of the valley in two or three steps.At this moment, William held the camera in his hand and approached the valley step by step!

"Be careful! Don't get too close!" The "little monk" couldn't help but reminded. "What? Is it really dangerous here?" Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, William felt that Daqi and the others were being too cautious! "Of course, look at that tree!" The "little monk" pointed to a lonely half-cut tree in the distance, "The scorched trace was caused by lightning strike!" He is very good at detecting traces. William took a closer look, and found that the tree was indeed broken by lightning. When he looked carefully, he found other traces: "Hey, there seems to be a puddle of scorched black on the grass in front!"

The little monk also noticed at this time that in the gaps between the dense flowers and plants in front of him, traces of scorched black appeared from time to time.He couldn't help but leaned down to take a closer look. Just at this moment, a gust of wind hit his nostrils. "Be careful!" Lao Xing, who was closest to him, grabbed him. It turned out to be an argali. For some reason, it panicked and jumped past the "little monk" and went straight into the valley.The speed of the argali was very fast, and when the "little monk" saw it clearly, it had already run one-third of the bottom of the valley.

It was too late and then soon, at this time, a series of "rumbling" sounds sounded in the valley. There was not even a trace of fog in the valley sky, but at some point a black cloud appeared, and the "rumbling" sound That's where the thunder came from.Looking at the argali again, in the blink of an eye, it was already lying on the ground with its whole body scorched black, and it looked like it was dying. Seeing this weird scene, everyone was stunned: "This is not an illusion!" William pinched his thigh to prove that he was not in a dream: "Oh! It hurts, it's real!"

The old horse also seemed to be frightened by the scene in front of it, kicking a little uneasily.Ling Ning's hands were weak, fearing that she would lose control, she quickly tied the reins to the tree, and then she stroked the old horse's head with her hand to make it settle down as soon as possible. "It seems that what the locals said is true!" Although Da Qi believed in this legend the most before, he was not as shocked by what he witnessed. What's going on here?It was clear that the sun was shining brightly in the valley before, and there was no sign of thunder and lightning. How could the sheep be killed by lightning in the blink of an eye? Not only he couldn't figure it out, Chu Feng couldn't figure it out either, where did the thunder come from? "I only knew that there was a place like this in Kunlun Mountains, but I didn't expect it to exist here!" Here, Sangbu is the person who is most familiar with Xinjiang's mountains and rivers. After staying for a while, he said something that made everyone If you are interested. "What? There is such a place in Kunlun Mountain?" Ling Ning was the first to jump up. William and Wang Cong simply surrounded Sangbu. "That's right. When we visited the depths of the Kunlun Mountains a few years ago, we encountered a valley like this. It was almost exactly the same. It was also the same grassland, and in this weather, there was no shelter from the fog, but there was thunder. They killed all the cattle and sheep that broke in. When the locals heard about that place, their expressions changed, they said it was a 'gateway to hell'!" "What! The gate of hell? You mean, this is also a gate of hell?" William's face turned pale. His parents were devout Christians. When he was young, he went to church with them every week. Heard of "The Gates of Hell", the biggest reaction. "What's the 'Gate of Hell'? I think there may be some strong magnetic mineral veins in the ground, which attracted the thunder. Look at your talent. Just a few thunders scare you like this!" Ling Ning He frowned, feeling very contemptuous of William's lack of courage. Chu Feng stared helplessly at the two disciples: "Can't you wait for Captain Sangbu to finish speaking before interrupting?" "Oh!" Ling Ning stuck out his little tongue, and lowered his head obediently. "Captain Sangbu, how did you pass through the so-called 'Gate of Hell' at that time?" Da Qi asked expectantly. "We didn't pass at that time!" Sambu gave such an answer very simply, "The place we were going at that time did not need to pass through the mysterious valley, but just passed by it, but..." "But what?" The impetuous William interrupted to ask again regardless of Chu Feng's warning.This time Chu Feng didn't even bother to stare at him. "However, there was a geological expert in our expedition team at that time, and I also asked about it at that time. The expert said that it may be a special lightning phenomenon caused by the high content of iron ore in the ground. If you want to pass, you must not carry any In addition to the metal or the material that can attract lightning, you have to find the direction of the underground mineral veins, avoid the mineral veins, and then put on insulating equipment all over your body, so you may be able to pass safely!" Sambu carefully recalled the advice given by the experts at that time. "Can't carry metal, avoid mine veins, insulate equipment?" Da Qi frowned tightly, chewing these three conditions over and over in his mouth.The guide said that there is a way to pass through this valley. That road must avoid the underground mine veins. Unfortunately, the guide is not there now, and no one knows how to get there! "Captain, let me try it!" The "little monk" asked again.Since the last time "Skinny Monkey" defected, when he left his post to help Ling Ning, he took the main responsibility for the injury of his comrade "Manzi" on himself.During these days, he has been very depressed, and he has lost a lot of weight.Seeing that he could be useful this time, he was really anxious!I was so excited just now that I didn't bother to observe carefully, and almost became a thunderstorm!For this reason, Da Qi suddenly deprived him of his right to explore the road.He is not reconciled. "Captain, let me try again. I didn't pay attention just now, but now I pay attention, and it will be fine. Since the guide said that there is a way to go, there must be a way that he usually walked. As long as there is There must be traces on the road, and I will definitely be able to find it! Let me try again, captain!" The last tone of the "little monk" was almost pleading. Da Qi thought for a long time, and finally agreed: "Okay, you go to explore the road again! But, you must be careful, you can't make the mistake just now a second time, do you hear me clearly?" "Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!" Huge ecstasy welled up in the heart of the "little monk". He looked back and met the sight of his comrade Zhang Guozhu.Zhang Guozhu has the best relationship with the fighter "Xiaoman" on weekdays, and the two are still from the same hometown. After "Xiao Man" had an accident, he was also the one who had the biggest opinion on "Little Monk".At this time, the two people's eyes met inadvertently, and Zhang Guozhu quickly averted his eyes. The "little monk" made up his mind secretly: "comrades in arms, I will definitely atone for my sins and bring you across this valley as soon as possible!" Thinking, he came to the forefront of the valley with great strides. The "little monk" Long Shangqing brought out all the hunting skills he had with his grandfather in the mountains when he was young, squatting down for a while, and jumping up for a while, carefully comparing the differences between grass and grass, and between flowers . "How is it? Do you see anything?" William asked quietly, unwilling to be lonely. After the last cooperation in the Kumtag Desert and the subsequent joint expedition in Lop Nur, everyone has lived and died together.There has long been no boundary between them in the usual sense. The "little monk" didn't hide his secrets either. Seeing that William was still vigilant and half a body behind him, he gave him a warning with his eyes not to offside.Then he said leisurely: "It's almost there! Don't underestimate these flowers and plants, they can actually talk! It's just that most people can't listen!" After finishing speaking, he stood up, pointed to the dense flowers and grasses not far away and said to William, "Don't go near there, you will be struck by lightning!" "What?" William looked left and right but couldn't see any difference in the bushes, "Impossible, the bushes are not different except that they are more lush than other places, if there are often lightning strikes there , how can those flowers and plants grow so luxuriantly?" "Look carefully!" The "little monk" pointed him angrily, "Did you see it? The ants here! There are more or less ants in other places, but there is not even a single insect or ant near the bushes. I still don't understand. Is it? It is inevitable that the flowers and plants in this area will grow well, if I throw you there, you will become a 'shocking person', and the flowers and plants in this place will grow even better next year!" Having said that, William really saw something different. There are indeed no insects such as bugs or ants where the "little monk" pointed.If you look closely, you can still see some traces of scorched black on the ground.
