Chapter 93 A Clever Tactic
"Keep an eye on them; they should make a move tonight."
Velen's gaze was gloomy as he stared intently at the houses.
Since that traitor Arun had told the other party about things like the ancestral relics, it was a serious matter.
How could the exact location of the ancestral relics be left behind?
However, this suited his wishes.
He was worried about not finding a way to get the other party to go to the ancestral ruins on their own initiative.
According to his calculations, those outsiders should make a move tonight.
It is highly likely that they went to the isthmus to search for the relics of their ancestors.
Time slips away, bit by bit.
Night fell quietly.
After confirming that they had successfully drugged the guards, Su Yang and the others set off for the isthmus.
Under the cover of night, the group moved smoothly through the valley.
"Why does it feel like things are going a little too smoothly?"
Han Bei quickly followed behind Su Yang, and couldn't help but rub his hands together.
"It's been a bit too smooth."
Su Yang also frowned, clearly not expecting that there were only so few dinosaur-men guarding them.
"Unless the other side knew about our movements and deliberately let us out."
Zhang Changgong also said in a low voice.
"Play along?"
Han Bei shrugged. "If that's really the case."
So the other party is definitely hiding somewhere watching them leave.
Just as Han Bei had predicted.
On a man-made platform somewhere in the canyon wall, High Priest Velen was watching the direction Han Bei and the others had left in.
A pair of eyes emitted a faint green glow in the pitch-black night.
Wei Lun only returned to the house after Han Bei and his group had completely left Wangyue Valley.
Han Bei and his group took advantage of the darkness.
They slipped out of Wangyue Valley.
Meanwhile, Lin Changdong, along with his reinforcements, was already waiting at the agreed location in Wangyue Valley.
Upon seeing the figure walking towards them in the darkness, Lin Changdong immediately looked over warily.
The soldiers behind him also raised their guns and aimed at the faintly visible figure.
Until the agreed-upon bird call came.
Lin Changdong then waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him put down their weapons.
Emerging from the darkness, Han Bei and his group stood before Lin Changdong.
"Team Leader Zhang."
Lin Changdong greeted Zhang Changgong.
"Is everyone here?"
"Everyone's here."
Lin Changdong nodded, then gestured to the people behind him to turn on the light source before continuing to speak.
"As you requested, the main force is already conducting preliminary exploration, while I will lead a small group to provide support."
"Alright, let's head to the isthmus."
Zhang Changgong nodded, then had everyone get into the car and headed to the isthmus.
The vehicle traveled for more than ten minutes.
It eventually stopped beside a canyon.
On the edge of the canyon, several vehicles were shining their lights, illuminating a small area nearby.
Looking down, one can see lights at the bottom of the canyon, which is nearly 100 meters deep.
"Where is the way down?"
Zhang Changgong asked.
"Ahead, there is a path that has been carved out of the cliff face by man, stretching from the top to the bottom."
Lin Changdong pointed to the path not far ahead and said.
"Let's go down and take a look."
After saying that, Zhang Changgong took the lead and walked along the path towards the bottom of the valley.
Seeing this, Su Yang shone his flashlight and followed.
Walk down the passage.
The group finally reached the bottom of the valley.
But once he came down, the scene at the bottom of the valley almost made Han Bei's jaw drop.
On the cliff face and at the bottom of the valley, crystals of various colors shone with iridescent light when illuminated.
The number of crystals at the bottom of the valley is far greater than the number of spirit crystals in the desolate land.
"Dr. Su, are these crystals useful?"
Seeing Su Yang squat down and hold up a flashlight to examine the crystals of different colors, Han Bei asked curiously.
"I don't know, it doesn't seem very useful."
Su Yang shook his head.
"We should collect a little bit of each crystal and conduct some experiments to avoid any sloppiness."
Although these crystals look like naturally formed crystals, similar to agate and the like on Earth.
But since this is the Jurassic World, it's good to take some back and do some experiments.
Standing up, Su Yang couldn't help but look at Alan beside him.
"Shaman, where exactly are the ancestral relics located?"
"I don't know. I was never part of the advance team. I only know the approximate location of the ruins."
Allen shook his head.
"Looks like I'll have to find it myself."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang involuntarily looked towards the extremely long and deep canyon, feeling a sudden headache coming on.
Who knows how long it will take to find the remains?
More than an hour passed.
The group still found nothing, even after searching the entire valley floor, they still couldn't find anything that resembled the entrance to the ruins.
"Is the ruin actually at the bottom of this valley?"
After running back and forth for more than an hour, Han Bei collapsed to the ground, his face full of exhaustion.
How long have you been searching? You've practically turned the place upside down!
Not found yet.
For a moment, Han Bei even began to doubt whether the ancestral relic was actually at the bottom of this valley.
"That shouldn't be the case."
Su Yang, who had been searching for so long, frowned, clearly somewhat surprised.
"Could it be a trap?"
An idea popped into Su Yang's mind.
Since it can't be found in the open air, it must be controlled by some kind of mechanism.
"Look for any differences; this site is most likely the entrance to a mechanism."
Zhang Changgong spoke through the communicator to the soldiers who were still searching in different places.
"Can we really find it before dawn?"
Seeing Zhang Changgong still searching, Han Bei couldn't help but feel discouraged and turned to look at Su Yang.
"Perhaps."
Su Yang stood up and joined the search team.
Seeing this, Han Bei sighed helplessly.
He got up from the ground again and joined the queue.
Everyone's busy, I can't just sit there and rest, can I?
They searched for another half hour.
Zhu Haotian's gaze fell on a crystal.
Unlike other crystals, a small rhombus-shaped crystal was attached to the top of that crystal.
Furthermore, its color is completely different from the crystal at the bottom.
This bizarre scene immediately caught Zhu Haotian's attention. The moment he realized something was wrong, he notified Su Yang, Zhang Changgong, and the others.
When Su Yang arrived, Zhu Haotian was bending over and staring at the crystal pillar that was about half a person tall and several tens of centimeters in diameter.
"Dr. Su, look at this crystal, isn't something a little off?"
Zhu Haotian pointed to the crystal at the top, which was only the size of a die, and couldn't help but speak.
"It's as if it's been glued on. And the color of that crystal is completely different from that of the isthmus."
Upon hearing this, Su Yang bent down to observe carefully.
Just as Zhu Haotian said.
The crystal at the very top, about the size of a die, is a different color from the crystal pillars on the ground.
It's as if they're not the same product.
