Chapter 1493: The miasma hasn't appeared! What's going on with this distress signal?!

~7 min read 1,208 words

Yang Lu doing this was not aimed at the Second Archaeological Team wanting to obtain the greatest benefit, but because she didn't want to see Ada lose his life because of his concern for his sister, leading to a lack of concentration at certain times, especially at critical moments.

After hearing this, Ada didn't ask anything else. He just nodded heavily. This person was just like this; once trust was generated for someone, he wouldn't have any doubts about what they said.

After Wang Kaixuan said these things before, Ada originally wanted to continue asking, but now there was no need.

Yang Lu smiled indifferently and didn't say anything more.

Everyone walked forward for about an hour. At this time, the sky was already dim. Wang Kaixuan saw a touch of sunset on the horizon and couldn't help but be stunned.

He looked at the time and said: "This isn't right. What time is it? Why has the sun already set?"

Ada immediately explained: "In this month, the sun sets earlier in Southern Xinjiang, probably about two hours earlier than where you are."

Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Yang Lu nodded slowly and said: "That's right. This is caused by the geographical location. The latitude and longitude are different, naturally leading to different sunset times. Let's camp ahead and wait there for Mr. Zhang to start the storytelling."

Hearing this, a touch of excitement appeared on everyone's faces, of course, except for Ada. Until now, he still didn't know who that Mr. Zhang was.

Why did these people from the Second Archaeological Team trust him so much? They were in the Insect Valley, and many dangers couldn't be calmly resolved at urgent moments.

Why did this Mr. Zhang happen to have such abilities?

Even without arriving in person, he had gained such trust from the Second Archaeological Team. Regarding this point, he was no different from that Ma Dadan before.

Perhaps anyone would hold such a thought.

After all, Zhang Lin's existence itself was an anomaly, and under these circumstances, they could let go of many of the anxieties they originally had in their hearts.

It was just that those who didn't know who Zhang Lin was would always hold this skeptical attitude at first. After all, everything they heard sounded too sensational.

A person who hadn't arrived at the tomb, hadn't personally visited the dangerous place, could analyze the next step, and even how to deal with many subsequent situations—these things were far beyond everyone's cognition, but most people were already used to it.

Anyway, now, no matter what, the itinerary of the Second Archaeological Team was set. Although Ada was crowned with the identity of a guide, he didn't have any objections to Yang Lu's decision.

Unless Yang Lu chose a camping location he had been to before and knew contained certain dangers, he would then offer corresponding suggestions.

But now, since he hadn't been to this place, and moreover, he didn't feel anything unusual, Ada didn't speak.

Everyone camped down. At this time, Ada looked bitterly to the west, which was exactly the direction they came from. Even those watching the live broadcast didn't pay attention to Ada and his clansmen at this time.

Even if they had seen that arrow before, through the situations mentioned by the Second Archaeological Team, they had probably already learned about it. Moreover, these people had already checked online about the situation of this Zhelong Village.

They knew that the villagers here were closed off all year round and couldn't receive any news from the outside world.

When people from the outside came, even if it was for interviews, or reporters sent by the official side, they would be driven out.

Of course, if they were pleasing to the eye, as long as they didn't speak nonsense or touch their tribal rules, they would also receive some lukewarm hospitality.

But these didn't affect the fact that the villagers of Zhelong Village were still in this ignorant environment. It was precisely this ignorance that caused their judgment of subsequent matters to have an error in itself.

Now, the people brought by En Kuan still didn't know that this old tribal chief they revered had already led them onto a dead end, including his son, who wouldn't get a good end either.

Only En Kuan would pay the price for his actions. This time, he brought all the young and capable hands of Zhelong Village out.

If they really couldn't walk out, then it would also be a very big loss for Zhelong Village.

After this, even if En Kuan lived and went out, I'm afraid his crimes would be too numerous to record, and these villagers would no longer trust him.

Just at this time, the bullet comments couldn't help but start discussing again.

【That's not right. Didn't Mr. Zhang say there was miasma in the Insect Valley?】

【I guess they haven't entered the range of the Insect Valley yet.】

【Can you listen clearly? Mr. Zhang said miasma would appear, not that it always exists.】

【What does this mean? Could it be that miasma is random?】

【I don't know if it's random, but maybe miasma is some kind of constant mechanism. Do you remember the blooming pattern of the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac?】

【Mr. Zhang also mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally before. It's just like the blooming of the Corpse-Fragrant Konjac; it follows some time pattern. Are you saying this miasma also maintains the same pattern?】

【It will strike at a specific time. I think it's about this situation.】

【But in any case, the Second Archaeological Team hasn't encountered a crisis right now. This is the best news.】

Just when the bullet comments were discussing this matter, the people of the Second Archaeological Team had already lit a campfire, and the sun was basically about to set.

After more than ten minutes, they heard a "beep! beep!" sound.

That was a kind of electronic transmission signal. Yang Lu and Shen Qiong had the best hearing. Yang Lu's earlobes couldn't help but move, and she subconsciously looked at the position where this sound came from.

Yang Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, and Shen Qiong also stood up. Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan just wanted to ask what the situation was.

Following that, Young Master Zhao stood up with a start, his eyes full of terror, and said: "Isn't this a distress signal? How could it appear here? Could it be that there are still living people here?"

In the few seconds after Wang Kaixuan heard this sentence, he also heard this sound.

Although he understood that it was indeed a distress signal, he still didn't hesitate to pat Young Master Zhao on the back and said: "No one has entered this Insect Valley for so many years. How could there be living people?"

Ada nodded hurriedly. He didn't know what a distress signal was, but this sound made him instinctively feel uneasy, and even produced a touch of fear.

After all, in such a place, any inexplicable sound must be guarded against immediately.

Otherwise, they might very well become tragic burial objects.

Even to the point of not knowing how they died.

Clearly, Ada didn't want to see such a situation happen.
