Chapter 5 - A New Ruin

Not long after, the afternoon quietly passed by. Yan Jiao looked at the sun that was gradually setting in the west and the sky that was gradually dyed with the sunset glow. She stood up from her seat and stretched.

Yan Jiao moved around a little and decided to relax by looking at the scenery outside the window.

Just then, a phone rang in the quiet room.

Yan Jiao quickly walked over and looked at the phone screen. It showed that it was Luo Jie, the captain of the archeological research team. She quickly put the phone to her ear and answered it.

"Hello, Captain. Is there news of new remains?", asked Yan Jiao.

"Yes, you workaholic. Come back to the team at 1 p.m. tomorrow and collect your equipment. " Luo Jie's voice was filled with excitement for some reason. "Yan Jiao, you can look forward to it. The remains this time might make us famous."

"What? Were the remains this prolific? I'm looking forward to it. " Yan Jiao's mood was also lifted by this news, and her enthusiasm was high.

"Don't let your jaw drop too hard when you arrive tomorrow." Luo Jie's tone seemed to carry a smile.

"Alright, I'll be there on time tomorrow. I'll see you tomorrow, Luo Jie. "

"See you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jiao excitedly jumped onto her bed and hugged the soft toy on the bed.

She told his parents about the news during dinner.

Yan Jiao's excitement waned a little when she saw her parents' forced smiles.

"Jiaojiao, just go. Don't mind us," Mr. And Mrs. Yan said in unison, as if they could tell that Yan Jiao's mood was turning sour.

"Thank you, dad. Thank you, mom."

After dinner, Yan Jiao packed her luggage and went online to review the new tricks she had learned in archeology. After feeling that her preparations were foolproof, Yan Jiao took a quick shower and fell asleep.

The strange thing was that Yan Jiao's dream that night was all in fragments, like pieces of memories.

The next morning, Yan Jiao woke up and could not remember anything from her dream.

She could only vaguely remember someone saying in her dream, "We're going to meet soon."

After having breakfast at home, Yan Jiao took her luggage and rushed to the archeological research institute.

When Yan Jiao arrived, her team was gathered around their Captain, Luo Jie. Everyone's face was filled with excitement.

Yan Jiao was infected by his mood and curiously went over to join the group.

"Jiaojiao, you're finally here. Come and sit down, we're about to talk about the important parts. " Yan Jiao's best friend in the team, Su Qing, noticed Yan Jiao's arrival and excitedly called her over to sit beside her.

"Comrades, if the ruins we're going to this time are for real, our names might be in the history books in the future." Roger said excitedly, "This time, we're going to the primeval forest. You can imagine the hidden dangers within. I hope that everyone will listen to my instructions and not repeat the previous incident."

"Don't put everyone in danger because of an individual! Alright, let's get down to business. The ruins this time are said to belong to the Snake King Meng Hui. You might not know what the Snake King Meng Hui represents. The Snake King Meng Hui represents a part of history that has not been proven. Only legends about him can be found on the internet. The rest of the information seems to have evaporated into thin air. "

"Therefore, this is an opportunity for our scientific research team to make a name for ourselves. Everyone, cherish it. If you feel that this expedition is too dangerous, I will not laugh at you if you want to quit. After all, opportunities are always accompanied by risks!"

Luo Jie waited for a while, and seeing that no one had left, he continued, "Since no one wants to quit, get your equipment, repellents and medicines ready. We'll gather at the entrance of the institute in an hour. We don't know what will happen in Yuanshi Forest, so you still have an hour to consider if you want to leave. "

When it was time to assemble, everyone was present, and no one chose to quit.

Everyone's faces were filled with excitement and joy!

"Let's go! Get on the helicopter!"

Sitting in the helicopter, Yan Jiao finally realized that she had been extremely excited.

Especially when Captain Roger called out Snake King Meng Hui's name, her heart throbbed violently.

This was too abnormal!

Moreover, ever since the previous expedition had ended, her dreams had been related to snakes.

'Haven't things related to snakes been cropping up around me a little often recently?'

As Yan Jiao thought of this, she felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
