King of Assassins Chapter 17: Ancient Dragon Palace

The high sun in the sky has caused the temperature of the mountains to increase sharply, and the body temperature is close to 30 degrees.

The key is that this area has only been through a major 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 other students were in a similar situation.

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

Only Wang Hongen had a cold face, 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.

No one else cares 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 is getting closer and closer, Xu Yin is 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, 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's face was full of suspicion. She felt that Wang Hongen was abnormal.

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

"Gao Xuan, I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

Xu Yindao is willing to trust Gao Xuan, but as the team leader, she doesn'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.

"Not in 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 Yindao 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: "Brother Gao Xuan, you are amazing!"

"A volcanic eruption also needs to have sufficient 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 Zhen really snickered, not knowing if she really understood.

Wang Hongen has no feeling for 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 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 couldn't keep his mouth shut, 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 had erupted. Honestly, don't erupt..."

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

"Primordial religion always embodies the simplest emotions of the ancestors, no matter how it is deformed, it is easier to interpret."

Gao Xuan came back from a new life. Although he did not learn these things, he still had some knowledge.

The other girls also looked in agreement 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 disliking Gao Xuan all the time, couldn't help it. He stabbed and said, "I can't tell, you grew up in the valley and knew a lot. But you're wrong, we are all from the mother star. Immigrants, where did the ancient ancestors come from, and they will not engage in primitive worship..."

"Hehe..."

Gao Xuan smiled: "Three thousand years ago, a group of immigrants from the mother planet 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 migrated to the Bailong Mountains and did not use 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. These aboriginal people intermarryed with modern people who retreated to the mountains, and the Bailong Mountains gradually evolved into various traditions..."

This history is very dark. 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 dumbfounded. After hesitating for a while, he said unwillingly, "You made up all these!"

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 with people, and rarely criticizes students directly in public. This attitude can already be called strict.

Zhou Jun blushed, lowered his head and dared not say a word.

The surrounding boys and girls 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 Bailong Mountains that Gao Xuan said.

The Dragon Tooth Key in his arms is an antique 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, just to find the treasure.

What Wang Hongen did not expect was that a young man in the mountains in Gao Xuan 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 ancient civilization ruins 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 say 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 in 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~IndoMTL.com~ Why is he!

"It's very simple. The strange things circulating around are the proof. Without the ancient wisdom and civilization, where would these strange things come from?"

Gao Xuan felt that the 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 objects at all.

Wang Hongen and Xu Yin both changed their expressions 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.

Anyone who doesn't know is 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 out a few more words, Wang Hongen's face suddenly changed drastically. He reached into his arms and grabbed something and pointed it forward. The air in front of him oscillated, and a heavy mist surged up.

The sudden change shocked everyone in the expedition.

Wang Hongen said loudly: "Let's gather together, don't move."

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

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

The sudden change was so magical that everyone was stunned.

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