I couldn't help but be curious. Although I had put a lot of effort into it, I still dug it out of the hard frozen soil with my bare hands.

However, after digging it out, I realized that it was just a fragment of a skull.

The size of a palm is as white as jade, with subtle curves and many small protrusions, which is exquisitely like a work of art.

"There were many people here before, but most of them died, so this place is called the forbidden place for living people. This is how the name of Death Valley comes from,"

The captain saw the fragments of the skull on my hand and said lightly, "Nothing strange, keep on rushing. Before dark, we must at least walk out of this area of ​​frozen soil melting. I think no one wants to sleep in the swamp, right?"

"I know."

I nodded and responded casually. Maybe I wanted to find something to enjoy on the boring road, or for some other reason.

During the next journey, I kept looking at this skull fragment.

From the appearance, I can't tell which species this fragment belongs to, but it inexplicably gives me a very friendly feeling, just like the owner of this skull, who had made friends with me during his lifetime.

This strange feeling of indescribable troubled me all the way.

Until nightfall, when we walked out of the swamp area and started camping, I was still playing with the fragment of the skull that almost made me a corpse.

Maybe I looked so fascinated. Even Ouyang Ye couldn't help but give me a few glances, "Look, can you still see a flower?"

But I just smiled awkwardly.

After she said this, I stuffed the skull into my pocket. After all, I had been looking at it for a whole day, and I really didn't find anything special about this fragment.

Before going to bed, the leader gathered us together, "We have now reached the center of Death Valley, and we are less than two days away from our destination. If the road ahead is easy, we will be able to get there within a day and a half. Now, let's have a good rest."

As soon as they finished speaking, several team members walked into the tent. They drove for a day, but even if they were beaten, they couldn't stand it, not to mention that they still have a nearly two days to go.

Li Xin and Ouyang Ye were also very tired. Their two women were relatively weak and could not withstand the toss and troubles.

But for a moment, only Huo Monkey and I were left outside the tent.

"Tsk..."

I don’t know where the Huohou got a pack of cigarettes, lit one by himself, and handed me one.

"Give me one?"

“No…”

I shook my head, not in that mood.

He didn't force me to spit out a few cigarette rings, threw the cigarette butt, and then got into the tent.

The environment here is wet and cold, so you won’t worry about causing fire or something.

As soon as the Huo Monkey left, I was the only one left outside the camp. I was stunned when I looked at the knee-deep grassland. My physique was different from ordinary people. Even if I had been traveling for a day, I wouldn't be too tired, but I always felt an uncontrollable feeling of fatigue in my heart.

I don’t know how Yuchengyao and Xiao Qing are doing...

Since the last time I parted in the deserted island, I have never seen Yu Chengyao again.

The strong magnetic environment of Death Valley made me unable to contact the old professor, let alone know Xiao Qing’s current situation.

Although I know that worrying is useless, when I think of them, I can't help but be touched.

"well……"

I sighed and stood up, narrowed my eyes slightly, felt the cold wind coming from Kunlun, and planned to go back to the tent to rest.

No matter what, keep in good condition first and wait until you find Yuchengyao.

But before I took two steps, I felt my thighs itchy, so I stopped suddenly and scratched them subconsciously, but what I touched my fingers were not my legs, but a hard object in my pocket.

Skull fragments?

I was slightly shocked. If I hadn't felt wrong, the palm-sized skull seemed to shake a little just now.

Yes, it's shaking! It's like the vibration mode of a mobile phone.

But this is just a piece of skull left behind countless years ago!

I suppressed the shock in my heart and took it out, but found that it actually emitted a strange, light green light. Although it was dim and almost ignored, it was indeed glowing.

It trembled slightly in my hands, as if it was about to leave my palm.

I frowned slightly and put it on the ground.

But just when I wanted to observe what changes would happen to it, some people rushed out from several other tents. The first one was a special forces member, whose number was four, ranking last.

His expression was filled with a hint of solemnity, and he was holding a gun.

It seems that he was scared.

"you……"

I was a little confused. Didn’t he go into the tent and sleep with another team member? Why did he look so scared? Isn’t he a ghost?

But just as I opened my mouth, I closed my mouth again.

No. 3, who was sleeping in the same tent as No. 4, rushed out. His face looked as ugly as No. 4, gasping for breath, and a slight cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"ah!"

Immediately afterwards, the woman's scream was screaming, which seemed particularly harsh in this empty valley of death.

Ouyang Ye and Li Xin also came out.

"Yes, there's a ghost!"

Ouyang Ye's tender little face was full of fear, and his whole body was trembling, holding Li Xin's arm tightly, as if this could bring her a sense of security.

But Li Xin is not much better.

If it were normal, I would think they were fussy and thought they must be dazzled, but when everyone gathered in the center of the camp, I realized the unusual things.

"All members are on guard!"

The leader pulled the cold-proof clothes on his body and took out a strong flashlight from it. He turned it on, but turned it off again.

What is this for?

Suddenly, the Huo Monkey turned his head and looked at me. I clearly saw his pupils shrink and his expression became even more nervous. He took a step towards me, grabbed my shoulder and pulled him forward.

“There are also here!”

The other team members were shocked when they heard this and aimed their guns behind me.

What's there?

I suddenly realized that I seemed to be the only one here who was confused and unknown.

"Look!"

The fire monkey blew behind me, and I looked over subconsciously, but when I just looked up, I understood why they were so nervous.

The skull I just threw on the ground actually floated up strangely, and a faint, hazy green light ball wrapped it up. Looking at the distance, green light balls of all sizes were floating towards us!

Even in our tent, many light groups flew out.

Without exception, each light ball is wrapped with a bone, leg bone, spine, and phalanx!

"shot!"

At the command of the leader, gunfire sounds everywhere, and most of the surrounding light balls were shot down in an instant, but it seemed that this did not have much effect.

In just half a minute, the shot down light ball floated up again!
Chapter completed!
