I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

Chapter 459 Rest, Confession, Cooperation, Bugs

At night, the last bit of sunlight in the sky completely disappears.

The sky is full of stars, as vast as the sea, brilliant and dreamy.

"Don't say it, this desert is dangerous. But the scenery is really nice."

The fat man admired the night sky for a while, then turned around and started joking with Wu Tianzhen.

"Tian Zhen, why are you so sad? Are you worried about your old lover?"

Wu Tianzhen sighed, "I'm worried about my little brother. I don't know how he is doing now."

"Oh, so your old lover is a young man. I thought you would be worried about that little girl Aning. You are so naive. I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your sexual orientation is a bit dangerous. Your Wu family has only one son in the family..."

A piece of compressed biscuit was stuffed into the fat man's mouth, blocking it.

Wu Tianzhen said unhappily: "Eat, you can't stop eating."

After saying that, he stood up and walked away.

The fat man quickly took the dry food in his mouth and asked, "Where are you going?"

"walk!"

"Hey, this guy. Haven't you walked enough today?"

The fat man muttered, took a bite of the compressed biscuit, and ignored it.

Naive people are sentimental. So it is not good to read too many books.

Unlike Fatty, he has no worries as long as he has something to eat.

After a day's journey, the group finally arrived at the water source at around nine o'clock in the evening and set up camp in the valley for the night.

The place where everyone settled was a piece of Yadan landform hills, also known as the "Devil City" by the people. Water flow and wind and sand cut the land, forming a maze of gullies. After millions of years of wind erosion, the gullies evolved into canyons, and the original flat land bulged into hills.

Strong winds have been flowing in the canyon for years, and are affected by the unique geological structure, making all kinds of strange noises like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

The ancients did not understand the reason, so they thought it was the cry of the devil, and thus the common name of Devil City came from this.

According to our guide Uncle An, after passing through this ghost city, there is an area that no one has ever set foot in. The Jingjue Ancient City that the archaeological team is looking for should be in that area.

Wu Tianzhen was in a depressed mood. He walked a few steps along the valley. When he looked up, he saw someone walking in front of him.

Suddenly stunned.

"Captain Xu?"

"Mr. Wu is out for a walk too?"

"Uh, yes..."

"Let's go for a walk together?"

"……it is good."

The two walked side by side slowly into the valley.

Gradually leaving the fire of the camp behind.

Neither of them spoke. Wu Tianzhen swallowed his saliva. Xu Bayi must have something to say to him, and he felt it was not a good thing.

Walking to a place where no one else could hear him, Xu Bayi finally began.

"Wu Tianzhen, you guys are tomb robbers, right?"

Just one sentence shocked Wu Tianzhen.

He opened his mouth blankly, was stuck for a long time, and finally nodded silently, meeting Xu Bayi's scrutinizing gaze fearlessly.

"Captain Xu, you guys are not a serious archaeological team, are you? If I'm not mistaken, the thing you, Wang Kai, and Miss Yang are wearing around your neck is the legendary tomb-grabbing talisman."

Xu Bayi touched the necklace made by an unknown creature that was exposed from his collar.

His tense face suddenly relaxed, and he smiled, "As expected of a member of the Old Nine Gates, your vision is really sharp."

Wu Tianzhen was surprised, "How do you know I'm from the Old Nine Gates?"

"Heh. Isn't this obvious? Xiangzhou accent, archaeology major, surnamed Wu. Who else could it be other than the Wu family of the Old Nine Gates?"

"...Yes, I am from the Wu family. Captain Xu asked me out alone, so it shouldn't be to talk about these things, right?"

"I do have something important to tell you..."

Xu Bayi's face turned serious, with a warning in his eyes, "I don't need to hide it either. We came to the Jingjue Ancient City to find something to save people. The family of a friend of mine was cursed by the Queen of Jingjue, and they can only be saved if they find the legendary Zhuchen Pearl."

"Zhuchen Pearl? Isn't it one of the four great ancient pearls in legend? Does this thing really exist?"

Xu Bayi nodded, "It should be in the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue."

"Wu Tianzhen, I hope you won't obstruct us, otherwise we will have to be rude."

"Captain Xu, please rest assured. The fact that you can speak clearly instead of attacking us secretly shows that you are people of principle. We also have principles... To be honest, we are also looking for the Ancient Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West in order to save people."

Wu Tianzhen revealed to Xu Bayi part of the purpose and context of their trip.

After hearing this, Xu Bayi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"In that case, we don't have any conflict of interest. Perhaps we can cooperate a little."

"I thought so too. Captain Xu, when you are searching for the Jingjue Ancient City, if you find any clues about the Ancient Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West, please let us know. We will also be happy to share any information we have about the Jingjue Ancient City."

"Then it's settled."

Xu Bayi stretched out his right hand.

Wu Tianzhen stretched out his hand and shook hands with him solemnly.

At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from the distance.

The two were startled and turned around to look, only to find that the sound came from deep in the Devil City in the opposite direction of the camp.

Wu Tianzhen and Xu Bayi exchanged glances in surprise.

"Could it be..."

Wu Tianzhen had a bad feeling.

At this time, several more screams were heard from afar, as if just one or two kilometers away, several people were screaming before death.

"Let's go over and have a look!"

Xu Bayi took off the dagger from his waist and handed it to Wu Tianzhen, then he took the shotgun and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.

Wu Tianzhen held the dagger tightly and followed closely.

The two ran at full speed for several minutes, bypassing the winding canyon, and suddenly saw a red light in the Devil City ahead.

It's fire!

Someone is ahead!

The two of them ran faster.

Just after turning a corner, a dark shadow suddenly rushed towards me.

Xu Bayi was startled and subconsciously raised the butt of the gun in his hand and smashed it over, but the black shadow dodged it nimbly.

The sound of breaking wind rang in his ears and a white light flashed in the darkness. Before Xu Bayi could react, a black knife emitting a cold air was held at his neck.

"Bro!"

At this time Wu Tianzhen chased over and saw this scene, he let out a cry of surprise.

Xu Bayi also saw clearly that the person who dodged his attack and subdued him with a knife in an instant was a stern-looking young man in black.

"your friend?"

The young man in black stared at Wu Tianzhen and said coldly.

Wu Tianzhen nodded quickly, "One of us. Misunderstanding!"

The young man in black turned his arm and put the black knife back into the scabbard on his back in a cool and handsome manner.

Xu Bayi remained calm and bowed to greet him, "I am Hu Bayi. This brother has great skills."

Wu Tianzhen listened to the screams over there and asked worriedly, "What happened over there?"

Zhang Qiling grabbed Wu Tianzhen's arm, pulled him up and ran outside.

"Go! Now is not the time for small talk!"

Xu Bayi was puzzled, but followed without hesitation.

While running, he asked, "What's behind?"

"insect!"

At this moment, Xu Bayi and Wu Tianzhen heard strange noises and the buzzing of wings coming from above their heads, as if there were thousands of locusts flying in the sky.

When the two looked up, they saw a strange red cloud flying out from the depths of the Devil City. It flipped and changed shape in the air like a living thing, and rushed towards them with a roar.

After seeing Hong Yun's true face, both of them felt their scalps tingling and got goose bumps.

That red cloud was clearly a huge swarm of strange flying insects with sharp fangs and teeth!
