Chapter 776: Chapter 776: Pure Manliness, No Bromance_1

Sun Lin turned his head to look at you, saw the grave expression on your face, and immediately nodded, quickly urging Cao Shan and the others to lead the way.

Cao Shan originally wanted to ask more questions, but after Sun Lin whispered a few words in his ear, his face changed, and he immediately hastened everyone to rush toward the camp.

This time, you and Zhao’er were the last ones in line. Once everyone had left, you started to move forward, but after walking about ten meters, you suddenly turned to look back over a hundred meters. It seemed that there were fleeting white shadows moving through the bushes, and there was more than one.

"Yun, what is that?"

The curious Zhao’er pointed to something a hundred meters away and asked.

"Just some playful little things, let’s keep going."

"Oh."

Seeing this, Xi Yu couldn’t help but turn to Wu Qiyi and say, "Miss, can you see those things?"

Wu Qiyi nodded: "Mhm."

"What a pity, I can’t see them," Xi Yu said with a hint of regret in her voice.

You looked at Xi Yu: "I can assure you, you definitely wouldn’t want to see those things."

With Cao Shan leading the way, you quickly arrived at the campsite.

Sun Lin had already talked with Cao Shan over a satellite phone during the day, so Cao Shan had cleared the area early on. As soon as everyone arrived, they began setting up tents immediately, and Cao Shan’s people also started preparing dinner.

Since you were staying for several days, the tents Sun Lin prepared were quite large, each capable of housing four people. As such, Zhao’er, Wu Qiyi, Xi Yu, and Ke Min ended up sharing one, while you shared another with Yang Runzhang, Tu Zhiqing, and Ju Hua.

Speaking of this Ju Hua— "Ju Hua, can you please stay away from me?"

Inside the tent, Ju Hua and you were lying at one end, and with a turn, he actually got closer again!

"Mu Yun, do you really hate me that much?"

"Spare me the talk, Brother’s a straight man, go find someone else if you want some action!"

"Hate, I’m a straight man too, I definitely don’t swing that way," Ju Hua said, actually blushing as he spoke.

"If you don’t swing that way, then what the hell are you blushing for!"

"I don’t know either, my face just turns red and heart races whenever I’m near you."

"Get lost!"

Just as you were about to kick Ju Hua away, Yang Runzhang said with a laugh, "How about I switch places with you?"

"Yeah, fine!"

Without a second word, you directly took your bedding and lay down next to Tu Zhiqing.

Tu Zhiqing was a man of few words, as Yang Runzhang had mentioned during dinner, but he was quite helpful. Throughout the journey, he helped Yang Runzhang a lot, and even Ju Hua, that drama queen, owed him a few favors.

Just as you finished arranging your bedding, Sun Lin’s voice came from outside: "Mu Yun, are you there?"

"Yes."

"Come out for a bit, there’s something I want to discuss with you first."

"Alright."

Stepping out of the tent, you found Cao Shan there as well, standing next to a young man who seemed familiar. When you saw this person, you suddenly felt you had seen him before.

"Eh, you are... Zi, Zi Qian?"

The young man smiled slightly and nodded at you, "Brother Li, I didn’t expect you to remember me."

"Of course, you were a great help to me last time."

Hurriedly going up, he embraced Zi Qian in a manly hug.

"What brings you here?"

Cao Shan hadn’t expected you to be familiar with Zi Qian and immediately said with a smile, "Zi Qian is my nephew. Influenced by his maternal grandfather since childhood, he has a deep interest in Qin Han culture and has done some research. The college entrance exam just ended, and he was idle, so I brought him out here."

Sun Lin then said, "Since you know each other, that makes things easier."

Afterward, the four of you entered a tent house set up temporarily.

At first glance, it really looked somewhat like a field command post.

In the center of the room stood a table cobbled together from wooden boards, on which lay what appeared to be a hand-drawn map.

The map was drawn very finely, incorporating half of the Qinling Mountains range and was extensively annotated.

After carefully examining the map, you turned to Cao Shan and asked, "Professor Cao, this is a military map, isn’t it?"

Cao Shan nodded, "Student Li has a keen eye indeed, spotting the crux at one glance."

He picked up a long stick from beside the table and drew a small circle in the central region of the map: "This is the area we’ve surveyed so far."

Seeing this, Sun Lin frowned and asked, "In these past ten days or so, you’ve only surveyed this tiny area?"

With a light sigh, Cao Shan sat on a chair that was also crudely assembled from wooden planks and nails, "Old Sun, the terrain of the Qinling Mountains is steeper than you imagine. Moreover, there are many venomous snakes and wild beasts in the mountain forests. In the past ten or so days, I’ve already had seven team members injured. At this rate, I fear our team will disband before we even find the First Emperor’s Mausoleum."

As friends of many years, Sun Lin knew Cao Shan’s temperament well. Upon hearing this, he turned his head to look at you.

This time, Sun Lin hadn’t brought many people with him. On one hand, it was because he didn’t want to spread the news too soon; on the other, it was really hard to find people. After all, everyone shook their heads like rattle-drums at the mention of going deep into the mountains for archaeological work.

That’s why he sought help from Du Xishan, who took it lightly and settled the matter with a single sentence: "Just convince Mu Yun, with him there, it’s like having a reinforced battalion."

You didn’t say a word, instead carefully comparing the map once again, and then turned to Cao Shan, "Professor Cao, where is the cave where the skeletons were found?"

"About a kilometer from here."

"A kilometer?" Sun Lin said, puzzled, "Why is the camp set up so far away? Wouldn’t it be better to study nearby?"

Cao Shan turned his head away, seeming somewhat reluctant to explain.

Zi Qian saw this and took over the conversation: "Well, we were originally stationed there, but that place was a bit ominous, so we moved to our current position."

"Tell me about it," you said, looking toward Zi Qian.

He glanced at Cao Shan, and seeing him nod in assent, he began, "To tell the truth, we felt it on the first night camping outside the cave. In the middle of the night, all our team members had the same nightmare. The nightmare was strange; we all dreamed that we were locked in a bunker, and a group of fully armed ancient warriors came and killed us one by one with their weapons."

"Everyone had the same dream?" Sun Lin was clearly shaken by this unusual occurrence.

Zi Qian nodded, and Cao Shan added, "All of us, indeed."

"If it was just a nightmare, we wouldn’t have been scared enough to move the camp to the periphery. In the following days, every night, there were strange phenomena occurring in the camp." Zi Qian said with a face still showing traces of fright, "Many dreamed that their heads were gone, some would suddenly strangle their own necks in their sleep, and some even passed out due to difficulty breathing. After that, we discussed and decided to move the camp here."

You looked at Zi Qian and asked, "After moving here, did that kind of situation continue?"

Zi Qian shook his head slightly, "No, that stopped, but at night, we always hear strange noises coming from the outskirts of the camp."

"Speaking of which, what was with those two pranksters just now?" Sun Lin still angry, stared directly at Cao Shan.
