Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Everyone followed the fat man's nose and found a butcher's house. For the archaeologists, the fresh and even throbbing bull head muscles told them that this thing looked like it had just been slaughtered not long ago, but there was clearly a pot of tomato beef stew bubbling outside!

That pot of beef is so delicious——

Jiang Xinxin signaled the archaeological team to go forward and collect evidence: "Whether it is an illusion or someone's memory being materialized, this thing has extremely high research value."

So the two archaeological team members began to collect samples in a hurry, and the follow-up troops had caught up. Everyone was very surprised to see the bright ancient city in front of them, especially after a rough investigation, they found that many of the lizard-like crocodiles discovered before had found places to lay eggs in the city. Everyone followed the traces of these crocodiles' movements and found a more real pool of water, or a lake.

There is only one kind of fish living in the lake. It is a fish that has a white beard and a snow-white body regardless of its size.

Everyone's arrival disturbed the lizard-like crocodiles living next to the pond, and these crocodiles seemed to treat the white-bearded fish as reserve food, and would go down to plunder when their food was insufficient.

When the fish in the water saw the crocodile go into the water, they immediately formed a fish formation. The huge king fish was surrounded by panicked small fish. The outermost layer was large fish that appeared to be in their prime. The outermost layer was the old, weak and sick adult fish. The crocodile also ate these fish first. The king fish and small fish in the inner circle, as well as most of the large adult fish were able to survive.

Everyone on the shore felt a little unsatisfied after watching the fierce battle. Both the crocodiles and the white-bearded fish suffered casualties, which was a good thing for the scientific researchers.

However, the three people on Jiang Xinxin's side and the three people on Hu Bayi's side all looked towards the deep part of the pool where the white-bearded fish disappeared. The fat man felt as if he saw a stone door under the water, but he thought he might have seen it wrong. After all, the battle just now blocked their underwater vision, so it was easy to make a mistake.

Everyone else was busy, so the six of us gathered together to chat.

Jiang Xinxin glanced at the bright ancient city, and saw Yantai's Red Fuji apples suddenly appear on the nearest stall. She couldn't help but sigh softly, "The real ancient city is under this pond. I have seen a stone gate where those white-bearded fish disappeared. I guess that must be the entrance to the ancient city."

The fat man looked around alertly, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this side, he lowered his voice and said, "I also saw a door, but I'm not sure. Since Miss Jiang also saw it, it must be real!"

Hu Bayi looked at Jiang Xinxin's face and said, "We have to go down eventually, but there are too many people and I'm afraid something might go wrong."

Jiang Xiaoguan corrected Hu Bayi, "We do need to go down, but you don't need to follow us, because the entrance to the Demon Kingdom is deep in the movie city. You just want to lift the curse, so you don't need to follow us."

Shirley Yang didn't quite understand what Jiang Xiaoguan meant, so she asked, "Can you explain it more clearly? I thought the real place for sacrifice should be in the real ancient city."

Jiang Jiuri explained: "How can anyone come and go in the real place of sacrifice in the Demon Kingdom? If you want to lift the curse, you just need to find the altar deep in the movie city. But according to our guess, the curse is realized through the power of the snake god. If you want to lift the curse, you must use the Zhuchen Pearl to close the channel for releasing the power of the snake god. To do this, you can't do without a sacrifice, and this sacrifice is likely to be a magical eye."

"Or rather, eyes that are beyond ordinary cognition."

Hu Bayi understood and stopped the fat man from saying, "Miss Jiang and the two Mr. Jiang mean that maybe we can use the eyes of the ghost mother, or simply use the eyes of the big fish in the pond?"

Jiang Jiuri nodded, handed the Zhuchen Pearl to Hu Bayi, and said, "Based on my rough estimate, the eye used for sacrifice should be at least as big and heavy as the Zhuchen Pearl. The rest is up to you to decide."

Hu Bayi was not in a hurry. He planned to investigate the situation inside with Shirley Yang and Fatty while waiting for Ake's arrival. The heroic poem bestowed by God on Ake must contain content on how to worship the snake god. When it came to lifting the curse, it would not be too careful.

In fact, the security personnel over there had already noticed the movement here, but they had no power to control any behavior of Jiang Xinxin and others that did not harm others or society. Moreover, the situation of Hu Bayi and others had been carefully investigated by the relevant departments. Although their previous behavior had been concluded, since they had taken the initiative to admit their mistakes and accept the punishment, these capable people could still be given a chance to reform.

Well, what's more, Ms. Yang who came from America is a wealthy woman. It is said that she intends to invest heavily in China. Everyone will be concerned about the safety of such a friendly person.

On the other side, among the three people in Hu Bayi's group who were surveying the ancient city with the researchers, the fat man was the first to be scared: "When I heard Mr. Da Jiang talk about sacrifices, I thought we needed to use human eyes instead. I was ready to sacrifice myself!"

Shirley Yang smiled and said, "Fatty, you just think too much. To a certain extent, Miss Jiang and the two Mr. Jiang value the bottom line of law and morality the most. In my opinion, unless their lives are threatened, they will not be interested in the lives of any creatures."

The fat man glanced carefully in the direction of Jiang Xinxin and the others, then quickly turned back and said, "The Jiang family is really different. They made their fortune by relying on pharmaceutical factories, arsenals, and food factories, and later they established a country in Luzon. Even if you, Shirley Yang, are a wealthy American, you are still far behind them!"

Shirley Yang was also very convinced by this: "I heard that Jiang's factory provided a lot of support to the country during the war years, and later donated the entire factory to the country. They only took away some management personnel, and most of the technical personnel stayed."

Hu Bayi also said: "The canned fruits produced by Jiang's Food Factory are selling very well in the north. Many people in the north even buy a can of fruit for sick children, saying that eating it will make the child better. I used to think it was some kind of feudal superstition, but it turns out there is a scientific basis for it. It is said that the canned fruits produced by Jiang's Food Factory preserve the nutrients to the greatest extent possible and can provide patients with a lot of nutrition for the body."

The fat man recalled that when he first went to the countryside, he and Lao Hu were able to quickly make things happen thanks to the various canned foods from the Jiang’s Food Factory. He also praised for a long time. While they were talking, they walked out of the ancient city and found a passage with obvious signs of artificial excavation.

Without further ado, the fat man told Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang not to rush in. He turned around and ran back to call for help. After a while, an archaeological team member and two security guards from Ake followed. They all entered the passage together. There were traces of artificial excavation along the way, and the passage was very neat. Not far away, they found a more spacious place that looked like a hall.

The hall was surrounded by huge stone pillars, on which were carved patterns that were not very detailed but very vivid. Ak looked at them one by one and found that they were the descriptions of the Demon Kingdom in the heroic epic.

Ake pointed at the pattern and said, "This is about a snake god that fell from the sky in ancient times. When it landed, only bones were left without flesh and blood. However, its bones would not rot, and its eyes would not rot for thousands of years. It also had the ability to open a channel for transformation, which was called a miracle."

"...The soul of the snake god is immortal. The high priest of the Demon Kingdom has mastered some power of the snake god through sacrifice. They use this power to drive the surrounding people into slavery..."

"…The brutal rule of the Demon Nation eventually led to fierce resistance from the people. The Demon Nation's high-ranking officials fled in a hurry, but they did not close the Serpent God's power channel before leaving. The Zagrama tribe's curse was probably caused by this channel that had not yet been closed."

"If we can close the channel and cut off the power of the snake god, I think the curse can be lifted."
