Chapter 92 Isthmus
This makes it hard for Su Yang not to wonder if the other party's invitation to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony was part of some scheme being planned behind the scenes.
Otherwise, if even dinosaur people might not be qualified to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony, what right do these outsiders have to participate?
"Team Leader Zhang, what do you think?"
Su Yang couldn't help but look at Zhang Changgong. Since entering the room, the other party hadn't said much, but instead had been thinking about something with his head down.
"That ancestral site must have guardians. And those guardians are currently beyond the capabilities of Velen and his group."
Zhang Changgong frowned slightly.
He shared his speculation.
"It's not impossible."
Su Yang nodded, agreeing with Zhang Changgong's words.
Since the other party wants them to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony, they must have some ulterior motive, and that motive is...
It is highly likely that it is the ancestral relic.
"You say that both the healing and radical factions have legacies. Could it be that these two groups actually share the same heritage?"
Han Bei's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "It's also possible that this ancestral relic is actually a key to unlocking the true relics on this planet."
"you mean."
Su Yang narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. "Only those who have passed the ancestral ruins' trials can find the location of the final ruins?"
"I was just guessing."
Han Bei chuckled awkwardly; it was all just his guess.
But it's not impossible, is it?
"Possibly."
Su Yang did not object to what Han Bei said.
What if Han Bei really gets lucky and stumbles upon a dead mouse?
"The most important thing now is to figure out why they want us to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony."
After Zhang Changgong finished speaking, he turned to look at the shaman Arun.
Su Yang also looked at Alan.
Why are you all staring at me like that?
Feeling the gazes of so many people, Allen couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Why is everyone staring at me all of a sudden?
"Shaman, is this really all there is to the ancestral worship ritual?"
Su Yang asked again.
"Let me think about it."
Upon hearing this, Allen couldn't help but search his memory once again.
After a while, Allen realized what he had missed.
"There is indeed something I hadn't thought of before."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang and his group all focused their attention on Alan.
"After the ancestral sacrifice, the high priest would send a group of people to the ancestral sites in an attempt to find the things left behind by the ancestors."
"But from what I know of several expeditions, no one who went in has ever come out alive."
"Therefore, the selection of pioneers to enter the ruins has not been carried out for a long time."
"The pioneers".
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of clarity flashed in Su Yang's eyes.
It turned out to be the case.
If that's the case, then things might make sense.
Velen wanted to use them as pioneers after the ancestral sacrifice to delve deeper into the ancestral ruins.
If they can do that, then the other party will most likely turn against them.
After all, what descendant could stand by and watch others plunder what their ancestors left behind?
"Aren't we going to be used as guinea pigs?"
Han Bei also considered this possibility.
After all, Allen had already made his point very clearly.
None of the advance teams sent in earlier came out alive.
Wei Lun then sent someone to tell them that outsiders like them could also participate in the ancestral worship ceremony.
Then Velen's purpose is almost obvious.
"Given the current situation, that's highly likely."
Zhang Changgong's gaze darkened.
He never expected that the other party would be so bold as to want to use them as guinea pigs.
"What should we do now?"
Han Bei couldn't help but look at Zhang Changgong, "Run or stay here?"
"If they run away now, wouldn't our trip have been for nothing?"
Su Yang glanced at Han Bei and spoke.
"But we can't really be guinea pigs, can we?"
Han Bei was somewhat frustrated. Was he really going to stay here and become the other side's guinea pig?
"He wants us to be the vanguard, but we'll have to see if he has the ability to do so."
Su Yang scoffed, then looked at Alan beside him.
"Shaman, do you know where the relics of our ancestors are?"
"oh?"
Upon hearing Su Yang's words, Han Bei's eyes lit up.
It didn't say they couldn't go and explore on their own, to find out what was going on.
"I've only heard of it; I've heard it's located at the deepest part of the isthmus."
Allen shook his head.
"isthmus?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yang took out a topographical map of the area around Wangyue Valley from his person.
Before he arrived, he had already studied the terrain of the Wangyue Valley area.
There is indeed a canyon in this area.
"Shaman, is this the place you're talking about?"
Su Yang then took out several more pictures of the isthmus and placed them in front of everyone.
Upon hearing this, Allen stepped forward, puzzled.
When he saw those clear pictures of the isthmus, he was stunned.
"How can you have such clear isthmus paintings?"
Even the most skilled painters in their tribe could not depict the isthmus with such clarity.
"That's right."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang's gaze fell on the topographical map.
That isthmus, according to calculations.
It's not particularly far from this canyon.
It only takes less than an hour to walk there.
"Shall we go?"
Han Bei stared at the topographic map for a long time before looking up.
"If it doesn't work out, it's better to leave at night."
"Shaman, is there any way out of this canyon? Or is the only option to return the way we came?"
Su Yang couldn't help but look at Alan.
Now that we know most of the details, preparing in advance is definitely the best option.
"I'll let the center know."
Zhang Changgong said in a deep voice.
They had already prepared a backup plan before they even arrived, based on the timeline.
The logistics department should be arriving soon.
Since experiencing the previous accident, Zhang Changgong now has to be prepared for both possibilities in everything he does.
This time it may seem like they arrived first, but in reality, their backup had been waiting for a long time.
If they have an accident.
The main force behind them will sweep away the entire headquarters of the Healing Faction with overwhelming force.
"There is indeed a mountain path here that leads to the isthmus."
Allen nodded, looking somewhat confused.
"Are you heading towards the isthmus?"
Su Yang nodded without saying anything more.
After discussing the specific details of the plan, everyone stayed in the room, resting and conserving their energy for the night to come.
the other side.
On the mountainside, High Priest Arun was staring intently at the group of houses where Han Bei and his group were located.
"They haven't made any move yet?"
Velen frowned, his tone carrying a hint of incomprehension.
"Yes."
Asavin nodded. "They haven't come out since they entered that area. I wonder what they're planning."
