EBE Chapter 517 Sand Sea 11
Chapter 517 Sand Sea 11
After one night, the next day everyone found that many people had suddenly fallen ill.
Unable to find the cause, Wu Xie led a team to dissect Ye Xiao's body and found a very long and large worm inside his body.
When everyone gathered together to discuss the matter, Wu Xie summarized the problem: "Everyone who went down to the underground palace, West Palace, for the third time should have worms in their bodies, which is the reason for everyone's illness."
He described Ye Xiao's death as being the same as the corpse on the West Palace wall, and that the insects were plant spores. Once the spores entered the body, they absorbed water and grew larger and larger.
Mr. Ma questioned his statement: "How did such a big bug get into your body?"
Wu Xie poured water directly into the basin where the insects were, and the insects grew visibly after being exposed to the water.
Mr. Ma was half-believing and half-doubting. The various unexpected events along the way made him angry. He still felt that he had been deceived by Wu Xie, so he ordered his bodyguard to kill the man.
Wu Xie rolled up his sleeves, indicating that he was also sick, and that what he said was true.
However, after the examination, it was found that Li Chu, who had also been to the West Palace, had no insects on his body and did not show any signs of illness.
They couldn't explain it either. Even though Wu Xie had some guesses in his mind, he didn't say them out loud.
Fortunately, Old Mai's leg was broken by Zhang Chuzhen. When the sandstorm hit, he was helped to walk but did not die in the desert. He did not threaten people with a gun like in the original plot.
Wang Meng thus avoided being shot, but Old Mai could no longer accompany him on the journey.
Before long, everyone's condition worsened, and it was clear that the itching on their bodies was becoming more and more intense.
Wu Xie couldn't help but scratch himself vigorously, so naturally everyone had no time to fight amongst themselves.
The group was in complete chaos. Those who were sick were in excruciating pain, while those who were healthy were showing concern for their loved ones.
Zhang Chuzhen became the only one sitting quietly to the side, after all, she had never been down into the underground palace, and there was no one she was worried about in there.
Finally, with Wu Xie seemingly pushing him somewhat deliberately, Li Cu took a knife and removed the insects for everyone.
"Xiao Qi, this bug is making me feel physically uncomfortable." Zhang Chuzhen covered her nose as she watched him perform surgery on everyone.
"Yeah, host, this thing is really disgusting."
Just like in the story, except for Grandpa Zeng, who was the most seriously injured and couldn't be saved in time, everyone else underwent surgery to remove the worms and survived.
Once everyone had recovered, we continued our journey to find the ancient city of Tongjing.
After walking for a while, they discovered that the compass was broken, and the camels that had been brought out from the inn to carry their luggage refused to go any further.
Something was wrong. Wu Xie guessed that Gutongjing must be nearby.
Zhang Chuzhen had also thought of this, and now she finally had something to look forward to. Once she followed the protagonist into the ancient city of Gutongjing and collected the energy, she could leave.
The next time I come, I'll have to wait until the storyline is complete before I can close down Gutongjing.
Through Li Cu's blood, everyone found a place with water. Someone went there to wash their hands and found a lot of broken gold inside.
Besides Wu Xie and his two companions, there was also Boss Ma, Lulu and Su Nan, and Zhang Chuzhen, who were not interested and did not move. Everyone else ran over to pick up the gold.
"Zhang Chuzhen, why don't you go pick it up?" Wu Xie suddenly said.
He remembered what Hei Xiazi had told him: when he looked up this person's information, he couldn't see anything wrong with it on the surface.
But the text says that she has been moving house for many years and has not had any contact with people. In his opinion, this situation is either aloof or she is hiding something.
And her amazing skills were also unknown; the source of her abilities couldn't be found, and everything about her was quite mysterious.
"You're the same." The original owner and she were both rich, so they didn't care about a little gold.
Li Cu: "Wu Xie, you insisted on coming here, but you're not even interested in gold. What are you looking for?"
Wu Xie: "This is not the real Gutongjing yet."
"If this isn't Gutongjing, then where is it?"
After Zhang Chuzhen walked away, he could still hear the two talking in the distance.
Seeing the filming crew reaping a bountiful harvest, the team now shows no sign of unity whatsoever, focusing solely on counting the gold.
She didn't go over there, but found a secluded spot to sit down and watched Wu Xie and Li Cu talking by the river. Then Li Cu even went into the water to take a bath.
She looked away, wondering if the farce would still happen without Old Mai provoking Boss Ma.
Seeing Garu's sudden change of expression, Zhang Chuzhen realized that it was inevitable; Boss Ma had been stabbed in the back by Garu.
Even though Old Mai stayed at the inn and didn't come along, Su Nan's other men still picked a fight with Boss Ma, so Boss Ma vented his anger on Garu.
Garu had no choice but to stop pretending to be stupid and attack Boss Ma, and then had everyone tied up.
Su Nan made everyone obey his orders, and Wu Xie and Li Cu were also subdued when they came to rescue them.
Zhang Chuzhen was sitting quite far away, and she didn't move for the time being. Only when she saw Garu walking towards her did she slowly stand up.
"Don't move, sit still." Garu, like a madman, pointed a gun at her.
Su Nan was also on guard. As someone who had fought with Zhang Chuzhen, she naturally knew her skills.
Sure enough, before anyone could figure out what was going on, Garu's gun was in Zhang Chuzhen's hands, and the relationship between the two of threat and being threatened instantly changed.
Su Nan pointed the gun at her: "Put down the gun!"
Zhang Chuzhen didn't even look at her, and shot Garu in the leg, then shot Su Nan in the arm.
what--
Several girls screamed in fright at the sound of gunfire. Zhang Chuzhen glanced at them and said, "Don't scream!"
Upon hearing this, they immediately fell silent.
Su Nan was shot and clutched her hand; her gun fell to the ground.
"Sister Nan!" Two subordinates rushed over in a panic.
Wang Meng, who was next to Su Nan, saw the gun on the ground, immediately went over, picked it up, and aimed it at them.
"Don't even move!"
Seeing the gun pointed at them, the two men dared not make any rash moves.
Seeing that Zhang Chuzhen made no further move, Wu Xie and Li Cu stood up, about to say something.
Everyone felt the entire desert shaking, and Wu Xie was the first to react: "Run!"
Zhang Chuzhen ran after them, and when she reached the riverbank, she jumped in almost at the same time as the others.
After immersing herself in the water, Zhang Chuzhen felt a suction force, and without resisting, she was directly swept into the whirlpool by the current.
When her vision cleared again, all she saw was a white desert.
There was also Li Chu buried in the sand nearby. Zhang Chuzhen thought for a moment, then went over, picked him up, and threw him aside.
Li Chu woke up feeling pain all over his body. After recovering, he looked around and asked, "Where am I? Is this Gutongjing? Where are Wu Xie and the others?"
Zhang Chuzhen didn't answer him, but she knew this was indeed the ancient city of Tongjing: "Let's go find someone first."
Li Cu stood up and brushed the sand off his clothes: "Sister Chu Zhen, do you know where they are?"
“I’m here just like you, how would I know?” Zhang Chuzhen said, but her direction was firm.
Li Cu was also at a loss and could only follow her.
