In the endless desert, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky, the black sandstorm has passed, and the sky is clear again.

Hu Bayi and others, who had been buried half of the sand and soil, woke up one after another. The few people who survived the disaster were shocked and happy, and couldn't help but sit on the sand and soil and laugh and cry.

Professor Chen was still a little crazy. An Liman and Hao Aiguo comforted Professor Chen, everything was over, everyone was fine, no casualties were killed or killed.

Professor Chen looked at the others in disbelief and found that everyone was here. He couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or in an hallucination for a while.

Hao Aiguo and the others saw Professor Chen like this and asked Hu Bayi and the others what happened. When they heard that they entered the underground passage together and even saw the ghost cave, they were suddenly surprised.

They explained that they followed Hao Aiguo to record the information about Jingjue Ancient City outside, and did not enter the underground cave at all. Even Sardini Peng had just taken the water and followed them directly.

Hu Bayi was stunned when he heard this. Although he knew that the hallucination was seen in the ghost cave, the hallucination was too real, right? Even if he was infected with the hallucination, could the others have the same illusion as he did, and could they even know what they thought and said?

"This is not right, something is not right!" Hu Bayi hit himself hard. When he found it hurt, he knew that he had not had hallucinations.

"Master Zhao, do you know what's going on?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Of course, although the corpse fragrance konjac has the ability to enter the hallucination, it cannot allow everyone to enter the hallucination simultaneously, or even maintain it in the same illusion."

"Then how do we explain this situation? It's impossible that after we enter the underground passage, we are all hallucinated, and there is no real thing, right?"

Zhao Shucheng saw Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi who were a little anxious and said, "No, of course not all of them are hallucinations. In fact, not only are there corpse fragrance konjacs, but also a mysterious existence. With the ability of corpse fragrance konjacs, it controls all of you to enter the illusion, so you can act together, and what you see is the same, otherwise you would have been noticed that something is wrong long ago."

"Originally, after the corpse fragrance konjac was destroyed, you should be able to wake up for a while, but you were a little too relaxed, so you were controlled by it again and entered the illusion, so you had everything you saw later. However, because there was no control in the subsequent period, and even the aroma of the corpse fragrance konjac was reduced, you could easily walk out of the illusion and find a way out of the illusion."

"The she you are talking about is not the Queen of Jingjue, right? How old is she? Isn't she dead yet?" Wang Kaixuan said in shock.

"Of course not. It is the snake god who has descended into the present world in imaginary space. The body is decayed, but the soul is forever. The Evil Luohai clan worships the bones of the snake god and the eyes of the snake god as divine objects. The Snake God gives the Evil Luohai clan the way to use the power of the divine objects after the sacrifice of the Evil Luohai clan. Therefore, many people in the Evil Luohai have power that is far beyond ordinary people."

Hu Bayi hesitated and said, "Does there really be gods in this world?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. Zi Buyu's strange powers are indistinguishable from the gods. Besides, whether this snake god is a god or is just a psychedelic ability, it is all uncertain. But at least one thing can be confirmed, that is, the so-called snake god must be the totem worshipped by the Evil Luohai Clan and even the Ghost Cave Clan, and it can also make people get illusions and gain the fear of the Ghost Cave Clan..."

Wang Kaixuan suddenly noticed the blind spot and said, "No, why are you doing nothing? You even said that you smashed the coffin of Kunlun divine wood into the ghost cave. Wouldn't that mean that the snake god has been destroyed by you?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Of course things will not be solved so simply. I did not open the coffin or communicate with the snake god head-on. I cannot be sure whether I really talked with the snake god or went deep into the illusion. But now everything is not important. We are all alive and have witnessed the existence of Jingjue Ancient City with our own eyes. Everything is worth it."

After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan said with regret: "What's the good thing? We only have 20,000 US dollars given by Miss Yang this time, and we didn't get anything else."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Fatty, this is what you are wrong. Why did you say that you have nothing to gain?"

The fat man was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "I really didn't take anything from the Jingjue Kingdom, I swear!"

"No need to swear, of course I know. But we are not really finding nothing."

Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously and asked, "No, you came with us. Did you take away the things inside when you came out of the underground palace?"

As he said that, Wang Kaixuan looked carefully at the archaeological team and said, "Master Zhao, I have to say, are you this or you think about it."

Zhao Shucheng gave Wang Kaixuan a blank look and said, "What are you thinking? There is something wrong with the things in the Jingjue Ancient City, so I won't do such a thing. Have you forgotten one thing, the tomb robbers before we arrived at the Jingjue Ancient City?"

"You mean..." Hu Bayi also thought of something and looked at Zhao Shucheng.

"Yes, they excavated a lot of ancient tombs along the way and stole so many good things? The archaeological team didn't pay attention to it, but I paid attention. That's why I burned the bodies for them and hid some inconspicuous small things. When we returned, we would divide them equally. As for those bigger things, it's hard for us to hide, so let's keep them for research for the archaeological team."

"Master Zhao is righteous!" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Hu Bayi also nodded, which was something he had not expected. After all, he only thought about the affairs of Jingjue Ancient City along the way, but forgot that the tomb robbers had gained a lot. In addition to some mummies, other small things were also valuable.

The archaeological team didn't know what Zhao Shucheng and the others were thinking. Seeing that Professor Chen was still a little crazy, they could only comfort Professor Chen first and hurry to leave here while the weather was getting better.

Thanks to Zhao Shucheng coming out in advance to meet with the camel team, when the black sandstorm came, he tied the kettle and the bucket tightly, and the archaeological team did not have the risk of water cut off for the time being.

However, due to the influence of the black sandstorm, the group lost their direction again and stayed away from the previous route. An Liman is worthy of being a living map in the desert. Even if he is far away from the original route, he can still find the nearest supply point so that everyone will not have to lose their direction in the vast desert.

Especially when An Liman was praying together, he saw a white camel in the distance. He was even more excited to lead everyone forward, found a water source, and found traces of vehicles passing by.

When Shirley Yang was separated from Hu Bayi and the others, she couldn't help but reveal to Hu Bayi that she was a descendant of the Zaglama tribe. Their ancestors were cursed for peeping into the secret of ghost caves, and all descendants lived to be fifty years old. The reason why she tried every means to find Jingjue Ancient City was to understand the curse and save herself and her mother, but now it seems that she has failed.

In order to win the trust of Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang directly untied her clothes and exposed the mark on her back shoulder. This was a red eye-style pattern, which looked nothing good.

Zhao Shucheng did not pay much attention to the matters between Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang. He was still thinking about what happened in Jingjue Ancient City. The so-called snake god seemed to have dealt with too easily. Now, when he confronted Zhao Shucheng, he might have used both his heart and used the illusion to deal with Hu Bayi and the others.

That's why Zhao Shucheng was able to throw Kunlun divine wood so easily into the ghost cave, but Zhao Shucheng didn't believe it, and there must be a secret that he had not discovered.

Since you have been to Jingjue Ancient City, the archaeological team's mission has been completed, so after returning to the gathering place, the group embarked on the road to return to the city.

Hu Bayi tried to figure out what was false and what was real in Jingjue Ancient City. Unfortunately, he didn't understand it in the end and could only put it aside and explore it later.

Wang Kaixuan was so happy that the small items Zhao Shucheng brought back included gold coins, silver coins, jade pendants, etc. Although the value may not be very high, the trip was finally in vain, so he spent all day in the store of Dajinya, bragging about his experiences along the way, while selling the gains of this time with Dajinya.

However, on this day, when Wang Kaixuan was bragging, he suddenly felt a little painful on his shoulders. When Da Jinya opened him to check, he found that an eye-shaped pattern appeared on Wang Kaixuan's shoulders.

The same is true for Hu Bayi. After he bid farewell to Shirley Yang, he was very financially affluent because of the 20,000 US dollars given by Shirley Yang and the actions of some things he got this time, so he was thinking about things at home. The sudden pain on his shoulders and the curse marks seen in the mirror made Hu Bayi feel a little worried.

He suddenly thought of something and came directly to the antique stall in Zhao Shucheng. He saw Zhao Shucheng sitting on a recliner, chatting with people passing by without a word.

"Master Zhao, is it convenient for you now?"

When Zhao Shucheng saw Hu Bayi's appearance, he immediately knew that things were not simple. He looked at the things in front of the stall and asked Hu Bayi to clean up with him. The two of them came to Zhao Shucheng's home.

"Master Zhao, hasn't there any changes since you came back from Jingjue Ancient City?"

Zhao Shucheng was stunned when he heard this and asked, "No, what's wrong?"

"I seem to be cursed."

"curse?"

"Yes, curse. Shirley said that those who peeked at the secrets of the ghost cave would curse. I didn't believe it at first, but now the curse pattern appears on me, which should not be fake."

As he said that, Hu Bayi opened his shoulders and asked Zhao Shucheng to take a look, and continued, "That's why I came to ask if you were also cursed."

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "I didn't have any curse, but I think since you have it, there will be fat people, and even Professor Chen might be cursed. But what happened to this curse? Did Shirley Yang tell you?"

"After briefly, it is said that this curse has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is impossible for him to live beyond fifty years old."

Zhao Shucheng asked curiously: "Have she ever said what would curse do if there is a situation like Professor Chen? After all, Professor Chen is over fifty years old, so it is impossible to die of sudden illness, right? If he dies, can he still pass it on to his children?"

"Probably?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "This makes sense. Professor Chen's child was born before the curse. So if the curse is because of the bloodline, it should be the child born after the curse, and not the child who was already born. On the contrary, if it appears directly on Professor Chen's child, then this curse is of some significance and can directly track the bloodline relationship."

Seeing Zhao Shucheng's enthusiastic analysis, Hu Bayi said anxiously: "Master Zhao, now is not the time to study these things, I..."

Zhao Shucheng thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I can try to help you remove the curse, but I don't know whether it's OK."

"It's fine if there is a way. As for whether it can be removed, it must be at least a try."

Zhao Shucheng nodded, then covered his palm with the Golden Light Curse, pressed it on the place where the curse pattern appeared on Hu Bayi's shoulder, trying to use the energy of the Golden Light Curse to remove the curse. But soon Zhao Shucheng discovered that this method simply did not work.

This curse seemed to be growing in Hu Bayi's flesh, and he had no reaction to the energy of the Golden Light Curse, and was even unmoved.

This made Zhao Shucheng a little strange. If it was really a curse, the Golden Light Curse would have some effect. If it was not a curse, but a certain kind of insect, why didn't he react at all?

However, I thought that shortly after entering the underground passage, I directly covered my body with the golden light curse, and perhaps because of this, I was not cursed or was infected with a poison.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were a little miserable. Because they were illusions, they were easily parasitized by the insects.

Zhao Shucheng also tried to detect whether the curse pattern was a Gu worm. After all, as long as it was a Gu worm, it would definitely have a life breath to you. Unfortunately, Zhao Shucheng didn't know much about Gu worms and didn't find anything in the end.

Hu Bayi was disappointed when he saw that Zhao Shucheng could not solve it, and said, "It seems that this is really a curse?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say whether it's a curse or not, maybe it's a Gu worm. Don't be too discouraged. Since it's a curse or a Gu worm, there must be a solution."

"I hope so."
