"The tomb has been found.
Wen Jia walked forward with some excitement, he was holding the compass in his hand, and Wu Duan saw the compass pointer pointing steadily ahead.
He had also observed when Wen Jia was using the compass a few days ago, and the hands were always trembling and swaying from side to side, and there had never been such a stable situation as today.
Wu Duan couldn't help asking, "It's nearby."
"It's nearby."
This time, Wen Jia gave a very firm answer, he did not hide the excitement in his heart, and muttered: "If you want to see it, you will see it, you are fortunate to have three lives." ” The news made everyone's hearts very excited, and the destination of these days of trekking is finally approaching.
While excited, everyone remained silent and lightened.
The tomb is almost found, does it mean that the gang of tomb robbers is also nearby A criminal policeman touched the gun pinned to his waist and looked around vigilantly.
After walking for about 15 minutes, it was obvious that the hill below them was not so steep.
"It looks like we've reached the top of the mountain."
Yan Sixian muttered.
Sherlock accosted him, and the foreigner was scared enough just now, and the whole person was stunned, and he didn't come to his senses until this time.
Yan Sixian comforted him in English for a while, and the two discussed the possible dangers ahead.
Sherlock shook his head repeatedly, looking like his confidence had taken a big hit, and he couldn't gauge the danger that might lie ahead.
The surrounding trees gradually thinned, and occasionally there were some fallen thick dead trees, and the trunks were covered with moss, black-green, black-green, like a huge corpse that had died of poisoning.
At first, when they encountered a dead tree blocking the way, the criminal police could still detour, and walked forward again, until the road under their feet was completely flat, and there were more and more dead trees, even more than the living trees.
The criminal policemen had no choice but to climb all the way.
The trunks of the dead trees were half a man's height, wet and slippery, and it was quite laborious to climb.
The criminal policemen worked in pairs, cooperating with each other, supporting and dragging, and after a while, the sweat soaked the whole clothes, and everyone was covered with moss juice on their faces, which was black and swarthy, but it could be regarded as a protective color.
Wu Duan and Yan Sixian walked in the forefront, and the two cooperated with each other, panting.
Seeing that there were only three or five trees left in front of him that were still alive, Yan Sixian pointed to one of the tallest trees and said, "Go up and have a look."
Wu Duan nodded.
Yan Sixian took the lead in climbing towards the tree.
His physical strength was seriously overdrawn, and he didn't want to say a word.
Wu Duan had already understood what he meant, and followed Yan Sixian towards the living tree.
When he arrived under the tree, Yan Sixian said, "I'll climb up and see what's going on in front of me." ” Wu Duan said: "Have you climbed the tree, I'll come." ” Yan Sixian knew that this was not the time to carry forward his spirit, so he no longer insisted and told Wu Duan to be careful.
"Don't worry, I'll pick you up below."
Yan Sixian said.
"Take a fart," Wu Duan scolded, "Go farther, be careful of being killed by me." ” Yan Sixian just smiled and took a few steps back obediently, and as soon as Wu Duan climbed up the tree, he approached again.
As soon as Wu Duan's hand slipped, Yan Sixian nervously stretched out his hand to aim, ready to pick him up at any time.
Fortunately, Wu Duan's other hand grasped it steadily, and it didn't fall off, but only scolded: "Grandma is a bear, the moss doesn't need money, it's a long life."
In the next climb, he was careful, the places where he could put his hands and feet were all slippery, Wu Duan only hated that the conditions did not allow it, and he couldn't smear some anti-slip powder on his hands like a ring athlete.
Ten minutes later, Wu Duan finally stood on the thicker branch at the top of the tree, and the branches on the top were all thinner, and I was afraid that he would not be able to bear his weight.
"How do you see anything?"
asked Yan Sixian under the tree.
It was getting dark, and Wu Duan looked into the distance, and he really let him see something, but he wasn't sure.
"It looks like there's a flat field."
Wu Duandao.
"Flatland" "Well, it's just ahead, not too far."
Another criminal policeman asked, "Can you see people, tomb robbers or something?"
” Wu Duan: "No, I just vaguely saw a flat ground, gray and abrupt, and there seemed to be nothing on it." ” "Come down, be careful."
Yan Sixian said.
It is more difficult to climb down than up, and every time you drop your hands and feet, Wu Duan has to test for a long time to prevent slipping.
When he climbed down, Yan Sixian under him was already sweating nervously all over his neck.
Wu Duan said: "Two plans, either go to the open space in front and set up camp in one go, I estimate that at our speed, there are still two or three hours away, or rest in place first, rest and rush to the night." ” Everyone was tired enough, and their bodies were in dire need of rest, but the flat open space was a great temptation for everyone, and the thought of being able to lie down in the tent and stretch their bodies lifted everyone's spirits 200 percent.

"Let's keep walking."
There is humanity.
The crowd responded, and they decided to continue on their way.
This journey can be described as quite arduous, Wu Duan was able to say two words such as "bitter or not, think of the Red Army 25,000" at first, trying to boost morale, but after dozens of minutes, he didn't want to say a word.
The woods were gradually left behind, and the surrounding area was full of thick and collapsed dead trees, as if in the grave of giants, which made people feel extremely depressed and dreary.
At the beginning, Wu Duan was still able to control his hands and feet, and when he climbed to the end, his hands were stiff and his legs were wooden.
He just mechanically lifted Yan Sixian, helped him climb up to the trunk of the dead tree in front of him, stretched out his hand, and asked Yan Sixian to pull himself up, and the two of them slid down from the trunk of the dead tree together, walked to the next trunk of the dead tree, and lifted Yan Sixian up again This whole set of movements had become muscle memory, and he could feel that Yan Sixian's hand was as stiff as his own, and when he looked around, he found that almost everyone was in the same situation.
After climbing for a long time, Wu Duan even began to be in a trance, and someone proposed: "Why don't we rest for a while." ” The crowd stopped climbing almost at the same time.
"Rest" Wu Duan shouted, as if this was the only way to relieve the depression in his chest.
The criminal policemen didn't care if they were dirty or not, and they all lay down on the dead trees, panting for breath and drinking water slowly.
With Sherlock, an expert in wilderness survival, the team has never lacked drinking water, and after a few days of travel, the detectives have also become accustomed to a lot of wilderness survival rules, such as water must be a little thirsty.
It was completely dark, and the sky was full of stars, completely different from the gray night sky of the city.
Wu Duan drank water, and his strength recovered a little, so he said to Yan Sixian: "You say, what are we trying to do this time?"
"Catch the grave robbers before they destroy the tomb."
Yan Sixian still had a clear goal, and he added: "However, our itinerary is five days behind others, and I look at the suspense, maybe that group of people have already finished their things and run away." ” Wu Duan said again: "I'm worried. ” "Are you scared?"
Wu Duan didn't deny it, Yan Sixian continued: "I think there must be something wrong with the open space in front of me, it's all here, Wen Jia also said that the tomb is nearby, so let's go over and take a look, if there is nothing in the open space, then don't chase it anymore." ” "Okay, just take the open space in front of you as the boundary."
For Wu Duan, with a small goal, it is more able to convince himself to retreat.
What he didn't know was that it was the empty space that was a small target that brought destruction to the entire team, killing almost everyone
