Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

The soft dusty ground makes people tired very easily. The long walk made the three of them stop to rest again. The physical fatigue and the dry air made the few bottled water they had left become a scarce resource.

No one knows when they will be able to get out of here, let alone explore the entire ancient ruins. I can only take a sip of water to moisten my throat to relieve my increasingly dry respiratory system.

"Even if there are any secrets hidden in this temple, it is obviously beyond our ability to explore. If we continue, we may really become inorganic debris here."

After resting for a long time, Jiang Yingxue gave a very rare suggestion to give up. After saying it, Jiang Yingxue instinctively frowned.

Without emotional interference, Jiang Yingxue's reaction seemed even more strange. Not only Bai Ning, but also Aaron, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but glance at her.

In extreme cases, giving up is not the same as cowardice, or even a synonym for wisdom.

But they had just entered the temple shortly, and there were no signs of danger yet. Jiang Yingxue's remarks about retreating were indeed absolutely weird.

"Why do you have this idea?"

It was very rare that Aaron asked this question.

In the usual master-slave logic, Aaron is a silent and firm obedient. He will not question any of Jiang Yingxue's questions, but will only complete any instructions from Jiang Yingxue neatly.

This is the iron-blooded character that uniquely belongs to soldiers. They never show fear, even if there are thousands of people, I will go forward.

Facing Aaron who was in an abnormal state, Bai Ning stared at him silently, then glanced at Jiang Yingxue beside him, but remained silent.

The temple obviously changed Jiang Yingxue and Aaron in some ways. If Aaron was because of the instability of his soul, then what was the reason for Jiang Yingxue?

As for Bai Ning, whether he has also changed in some aspects, it's just that the authorities are confused and can't self-examine in time.

The strangeness of this temple is immediately apparent, and there is no need to question it.

However, you just know how weird it is, but you can't determine what's weird about it. This is what makes people confused.

"Before you said these two sentences, did you have a particularly complicated psychological fluctuation?"

The current mental interference is more hidden than emotional interference and mental pollution. Bai Ning can only analyze it from the inner perspective of the two of them.

"If there is any psychological activity, it can be understood as some psychological hints similar to the sixth sense.

This hint came and went even faster, leaving people feeling extremely flustered for a moment, as if they were specially prepared for the previous few sentences.

Compared with the previous emotional interference, this seems more overbearing and unreasonable. "

Jiang Yingxue also recovered from the previous abnormal mood swings at this time. This too instinctive behavior reminded her of emotional interference again, but it was completely different from emotional interference.

"do not know.

It seemed like a split second instinctive reaction. "

Aaron's response also tends to be an instinctive reaction, which is interesting.

If they were all instinctive reactions, then what instinctive reaction was Bai Ning's actions at this time based on?

It makes no sense that the temple's ability is so limited. It can only control Jiang Yingxue and Aaron, but it can't do anything to him, Bai Ning.

The only possibility is that even if Bai Ning acts instinctively, his behavioral logic will not change much.

The temple will make people suddenly become instinctive at a certain moment, so what is the use of this?

Is it to make people who come here feel a sincere sense of worship?

Will the sense of awe for the majestic buildings be transferred to the sense of awe for the gods here, so as to create a disguised sense of worship?

Bai Ning's mind was full of chaos, and he was trying to rationalize the situation here. Suddenly, an inexplicable "swishing" sound sounded here.

Jiang Yingxue was waiting for Bai Ning's exact analysis of the situation here when she suddenly noticed a different sound, like the sound of the sweeping wind picking up sand and gravel on the ground.

However, there is only dust on the ground here, so how can there be a friction sound of sand and gravel?

Although Aaron's skill has declined, his instinct for danger is still there. Sensing something abnormal, he shot at the abnormal sound.

The bullet shot out faster than the sound wave, and then there was a pitiful howl unique to an animal.

Does the so-called sixth sense really exist?

Jiang Yingxue's restlessness just now was just a warning of an animal attack at this time.

Or perhaps, the temple has warned of the approaching dangers, so that the people who come here have a corresponding sense of danger?

Without enough time to think carefully, the three of them hurriedly ran towards a place where the noise was not too serious.

The three light beams twisted crazily in the endless darkness, and the heavy breathing proved how much the dust pile hindered them.

The soft ground could not withstand the violent movement, and it felt like the three people running in the snow were gradually slowing down.

I took a flashlight and looked around, but it was still pitch black and I couldn't see anything, but the rustling sound was getting closer and louder.

Just like a huge wave coming towards them, it will hit them at any time, turning them into countless dust here.

Is the so-called dust desert made up of the living detritus of these unknown animals?

If this is the case, such a dry land should be composed of various biological remains and a large amount of animal feces, and it cannot be a pile of fine dust.

"What should I do? Do you still remember the direction of the door?"

Jiang Yingxue took a flashlight and looked around. They ran away in the direction they came from, but the second half of the footprints was erased by something unknown, making them as smooth as when they first met.

“The footprints have disappeared, which shows that there is a certain mobility under this dust.

Not only the dome of the temple was destroyed, but also the ground was destroyed. The entire temple has been turned into a passage connecting several areas, and may even be directly connected to a place where animals are kept. "

Bai Ning's analysis may be effective, but it is useless against the beasts that are about to attack.

The giant creatures and scavengers encountered before have proved that the creatures existing in the ancient ruins are very dangerous.

At this time, they could only escape as much as possible. The approaching beasts were crushing their physical energy, but the soft dust was like an insatiable sponge, greedily sucking up their remaining energy.

The party being chased was at a disadvantage. Several animals that looked like rats but were a bit larger than ordinary rats suddenly rushed out of the darkness, opening their mouths full of rancid teeth and biting at the three of them.

There was a sudden burst of gunfire, and several rat-like creatures quickly turned into piles of rotten flesh and remained on the dust pile.

The short-term victory did not make them relax. The physical fatigue was more like a fatal poison, counting down the few ways they had left to escape.

Jiang Yingxue's physical strength was depleted the fastest, and she gradually became unsustainable. Looking at her chest as she struggled to breathe, Bai Ning knew that her physical limit was almost reached.

The choice at this time is very simple, either let it throw away the equipment supplies on it, or receive the equipment on it.

Bai Ning just hesitated, and Aaron had already taken over more than ten kilograms of Jiang Yingxue's weight. His physical strength was really good, and he still looks calm and relaxed even now.

The overall feeling was that Bai Ning and Jiang Yingxue were holding him back.

Scattered rat-like creatures pounced on them along the way, and all of them turned into rotten flesh and remained in the temple. I don't know how long they ran outside, but they only knew that the noise of the following beasts was getting louder and louder.

The overall feeling is as if they will all rush out of the darkness in the next second and tear all three of them into pieces.

Continuing to run forward for a certain distance, the beasts behind them still only showed a trend of imminent rain, and the final thunderous blow did not come for a long time.

This level of desire to attack is in sharp contrast to the previous giant wild boar. If the plot develops normally, they may have been overtaken by the herd behind them a few hundred meters ago and can only be forced to stay in the encirclement. Make a final desperate fight.

However, not only did they escape very smoothly now, they didn't even throw away too much of their equipment.

There is something strange in this abnormality!

Coupled with Jiang Yingxue's sixth sense of danger warning before, this dilapidated temple became even more strange.

Seeing Bai Ning constantly scanning the darkness behind with a strong flashlight, Jiang Yingxue also became curious about this. Could there be some kind of savior in the darkness behind?

If it hadn't been for the long run that made her lungs boil like a furnace, Jiang Yingxue would have made some cold jokes.

"Could they be driving us away?"

As a special operations officer, Aaron had a natural acumen for things like hunting. Seeing that Bai Ning had questions, he asked briefly.

Cross-country with heavy loads may be Aaron's strength, but his tone at this time was not breathless.

"do not know."

Bai Ning didn't want to respond, but silently glanced at the rat-like creatures that were about to move in the darkness nearby, guarding against their possible pounce.

After running forward for several hundred meters, the rat-shaped creature's attack rhythm remained unchanged for thousands of years. It was like a programmed puppet, leisurely accompanying outsiders like them in playing games.

Faced with this situation, the three of them even boldly slowed down their escape speed. While their physical strength quickly recovered, the herd's hunting rhythm against them remained unchanged.

Faced with this situation, Bai Ning had to rethink Aaron's previous conclusion. These rat-like creatures were not really driving them away, were they?
