King of Assassins

The sun hanging high in the sky made the temperature of the mountains increase sharply, and the body temperature was close to 30 degrees.

The point is that this area has only been through a fire, and there is soot everywhere. The volcano not far away is still spewing gray smoke. The strong smell of sulphur stings people out of breath.

The expedition team was wearing safety helmets and thick filter masks, and they were dying of suffocation.

Even Xu Yin was sweating on her forehead. Wei Zhenzhen was even more tired and could not speak.

If it wasn't for Gao Xuan who was leading the way, Wei Zhenzhen would have complained long ago. In order to show his maturity and sensibleness, Wei Zhenzhen could only grit his teeth and endure it.

The same is true for other students.

They walked all the way without suffering. Such a harsh environment makes everyone complain.

It's just that Wang Hongen's face was cold, and no one dared to complain loudly.

Only Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang were the most relaxed. Although the two were wearing heavy wolf leather clothes and trousers, there was not a drop of sweat on their faces, and they walked briskly.

Others don't care either. They all thought that Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang were locals, and being able to walk on mountain roads was an innate skill.

"Professor Wang, we are too close to the volcano..."

Seeing that the volcano was getting closer and closer, Xu Yin was a little uneasy. If the volcano erupted, they would have nowhere to run.

"Don't worry, we have Gao Xuan."

Wang Hongen has already sensed that the dragon tooth key in his arms is getting hotter and hotter, and even if the volcano really erupts, he will not leave.

Of course, at this time, he still has to have a reasonable explanation. Gao Xuan is a good excuse.

Xu Yin was full of doubts, she felt that Wang Hongen was abnormal.

However, Gao Xuan took the initiative to turn around and say to Xu Yin, "Professor Xu, don't worry, the volcano is very stable these days and will not erupt."

"Gao Xuan, this kind of thing is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

Xu Yindao was willing to trust Gao Xuan, but as the team leader, she didn't want to take unnecessary risks with the students.

Originally it was an ordinary investigation, and it was absolutely unnecessary to go deep into the volcano.

"There is no case."

Gao Xuan smiled and said, "Professor Xu, I'm more afraid of death than anyone else. I won't joke about my life."

Hearing what Gao Xuan said, Xu Yin believed it a bit. That's right, Gao Xuan and Wang Hongen have nothing to do, so there is no need to risk his life to help him.

Wei Zhenzhen couldn't help but praise him, "Brother Gao Xuan, you are amazing!"

"A volcanic eruption also needs to have adequate conditions."

Gao Xuan said confidently: "This volcano is like a man. After a large-scale release, it will not erupt again in a short time at least."

Xu Yin was a little embarrassed, she started racing as she spoke, she was unprepared.

Wei Zhenzhen grinned, not knowing if he really understood.

Wang Hongen felt no sense of vulgar jokes. He said loudly: "Everyone, keep going, don't stop. It's very close to the destination."

Xu Yin felt that it was inappropriate, but she had no reason to object. After hesitating for a while, she could only sigh lightly to keep up with the team.

"An ancient legend says that there lived a fire dragon in this mountain. Because of his evil deeds, he was sealed by the gods..."

Gao Xuan's mouth couldn't be idle, and the others were exhausted and had no energy to speak, so he talked about the ancient legends here.

"So, this place is called Chilong Mountain."

Gao Xuan said: "If we look at this scientifically, it means that this volcano erupted in ancient times, causing great harm to the ancestors. Out of simple and primitive ideas, the ancestors endowed the volcano with spirituality, and hoped that the volcano would be honest and honest. , don't erupt..."

Although Wei Zhenzhen has no strength, he is still willing to support Gao Xuan, "Brother Gao Xuan, you know a lot."

"Primitive religions always embody the simplest emotions of the ancestors, and no matter how they are deformed, they are easier to interpret."

Gao Xuan came back from rebirth. Although he had not learned these things, he still had some knowledge.

The other girls also expressed their approval and admiration. After two days of contact, they found that Gao Xuan was not only handsome and unreasonable, but also very knowledgeable.

In contrast, the boys in the expedition team seemed too frivolous and ignorant.

Zhou Jun, who had been displeased with Gao Xuan, couldn't help it. He pointed and said, "I can't see it. You grew up in the valley and knew a lot. But you're wrong. We are all immigrants from the mother star. Where did the ancient ancestors come from, and they will not engage in primitive worship..."

"Ha ha……"

Gao Xuan smiled: "Three thousand years ago, a group of immigrants from the mother star landed on Pegasus. In just a few hundred years, the number of immigrants has increased hundreds of times. However, huge social conflicts have also accumulated."

Gao Xuan said: "These people think that intelligent optical brains and robots have robbed the job opportunities of the people at the bottom and destroyed the most basic human creativity. Therefore, these people moved to the Bailong Mountains without using any smart devices.

Over time, these anti-intellectual people degenerate to their original state. Moreover, Pegasus has aboriginal people. It is 97% genetically similar to modern humans.

Because of conflicts with modern humans, some of the aborigines retreated into the Bailong Mountains. This part of the aborigines intermarryed with the modern people who retreated to the mountains, and the Bailong Mountains gradually evolved into various traditions..."

This period of history is very dark, and modern civilization has no records at all, let alone in textbooks.

Only professors like Wang Hongen and Xu Yin who specialize in related research know this knowledge.

Zhou Jun knew nothing about this, and was said to be stunned. After hesitating for a while, he said unwillingly, "These are all made up by you!"

Xu Yin glanced at Zhou Jun: "As a Mingjing student, don't talk nonsense if you don't know. This is also the basic academic spirit."

Xu Yin has always been gentle to people, and rarely criticizes students directly in public. This attitude can already be called strict.

Zhou Jun blushed, lowered his head and dared not speak any more.

The boys and girls around burst into laughter. Zhou Jun, who always likes to show off, is not very popular.

Wang Hongen didn't care about these little things. He was really interested in the history of the White Dragon Mountains that Gao Xuan said.

The Dragon Tooth Key in his arms is an antique handed down from the White Dragon Mountains.

He got this dragon tooth key, studied many ancient records and legends, and finally concluded that it was a key to unlock the treasure.

This time, he took the trouble to lead the team here, just to find the treasure.

What Wang Hongen did not expect was that Gao Xuan, a young man in the mountains, knew so much about local customs and legends. And it can be so rational and scientific to analyze these legends.

Wang Hongen asked, "It seems that there are ruins of ancient civilizations in the Bailong Mountains, have you heard of it?"

"I've heard of it."

Gao Xuan said: "The so-called dragon totem worship did not come from the mother planet. It came from the aborigines. It is said that the dragon totem worship originated from the ancient wisdom race of Pegasus."

"It's not all you said casually, what evidence do you have to prove the existence of ancient intelligent races?"

Zhou Jun asked loudly. He listened to it for a long time, and finally seized the opportunity and wanted to save face for himself.

There has always been a huge controversy about the ancient wisdom civilization, and there has never been any clear conclusion. So many experts and scholars can't understand things, but Gao Xuan said so sure, why is he!

"It's very simple. The strange things circulating in various places are the proof. Without the ancient wisdom civilization, where did these strange things come from."

Gao Xuan felt that this reason was very simple, and there was no need to say more.

"A strange thing?"

Zhou Jun and other students are all at a loss, with their knowledge and level of contact, they don't know the existence of strange things at all.

Both Wang Hongen and Xu Yin's expressions changed slightly. This young man who grew up in the mountains has a little too broad knowledge. He actually knows strange things!

Strange things are called strange things because they cannot be understood by humans and are extremely rare.

Ordinary people may know the extraordinary, but few know the existence of strange things.

People who don't know are ignorant.

Gao Xuan was very satisfied with this effect. He just said that on purpose to stimulate Wang Hongen.

Wang Hongen really didn't look right. It seems that he has something special to open the ancient ruins.

Xu Yinzun was simply shocked by his erudition.

Just as Gao Xuan was about to test a few more words, Wang Hongen's face suddenly changed greatly.

The sudden change shocked everyone in the expedition.

Wang Hongen said loudly: "Everyone gather together and don't move around."

Fortunately, the fog quickly dissipated, but there was an extraordinarily huge hole in front of everyone.

This cave was obviously built the day after tomorrow, and there is a long step passage leading to the depths.

The sudden change was very magical, and everyone was stunned.

Only Gao Xuan was a little excited: It turned out that the underground dragon palace was blocked by a special space barrier and needed to be opened. No wonder he couldn't find it!
