Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang perked up and headed off in different directions.
Not long after, Shirley Yang led Professor Chen and the others in.
Upon seeing the scene before them, they all stared in astonishment.
"There are still so many people in this ancient city!" Shirley Yang exclaimed.
"A miracle, it really is a miracle!"
Professor Chen shouted excitedly:
"I never imagined that there would still be so many people in the legendary Jingjue Ancient City."
"This is simply a major discovery for the archaeological world!"
Chu Jian and Ye Yixin were also filled with excitement.
This was the first time they had ever seen such an ancient city that existed only in history.
And I also saw the local people.
The people there still wore clothes from ancient times, as if time had turned back.
Shirley Yang looked at Lin Yang, a serious expression on her face, and said:
"Boss, something's not right with these people."
Lin Yang nodded slightly, his gaze deep, and said, "You figured it out?"
Shirley Yang glanced at Professor Chen, who was chatting enthusiastically with the residents of the ancient city.
Completely immersed in this unfamiliar prosperity.
She couldn't help but frown and say:
"Boss, what if these people are all residents?"
"Doesn't that mean Hu Bayi's feng shui skills have encountered a major problem?"
Lin Yang nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings with a profound intensity:
"Shirley, you've got a good eye."
"Something is definitely off about these people."
Shirley Yang continued, "Moreover, their reaction when they saw us was too indifferent."
"It was as if our arrival was nothing unusual to them."
Lin Yang chuckled softly, "Yes, that's true."
"However, let's wait and see what tricks they're up to."
Just then, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang rushed back.
Wang Pangzi said breathlessly, "Boss, we've checked the whole area, and there's nothing unusual."
Lin Yang asked, "Did you find anything unusual?"
Hu Bayi pondered for a moment and said, "If there's anything special about it, it's that there's a black tower over there."
"The entire tower is carved from large stones from the Zaglama Mountains, and it is six stories high."
"At the very top of the tower, there is a black olive-shaped stone sphere."
He paused, then said:
"In addition, there is another temple, which is also built with the same black stone."
"The temple's stone gate has a unique shape, resembling a giant beast with its mouth wide open."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Lin Yang's eyes.
He knew the place Hu Bayi was talking about.
It is very likely the entrance to the underground palace of the Jingjue Ancient City.
Just then, Professor Chen walked over with a smiling local man.
He excitedly introduced:
"This is Mag, he is a resident here."
"He warmly invited us to visit his inn."
Lin Yang gave Professor Chen a deep look, then glanced at Mag.
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Oh? That's wonderful. We'll accept it without hesitation."
Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi, and Fatty Wang didn't say anything more when they saw this.
They knew that since Lin Yang had made his decision, all they needed to do was follow it.
The group followed Mag, wandering through the bustling night market.
The streets were lined with stalls selling a wide variety of goods, and the sounds of vendors calling out their wares filled the air.
The group continued until they arrived at an inn.
When the wooden door of the inn was pushed open.
A burst of noisy voices came from the front.
It was as if they had been transported to another world.
The inn was bustling with activity and lively at this time.
Inside, guests either sit around a table drinking and chatting, or eat alone.
Enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
The air was filled with the aroma of wine and roasted meat, stimulating everyone's taste buds.
A window seat happened to become available, so Lin Yang and his group sat down.
The chair was a bit worn, but it had a rustic charm.
"Welcome, esteemed guests!"
The waiter, Mag, greeted him with a beaming smile.
"We have many signature dishes here, why don't I serve them to you now?"
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang's eyes lit up, and he said generously, "Bring out all the good wine and meat!"
The waiter smiled and said, "Alright!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen, humming a little tune, appearing to be in a particularly cheerful mood.
Before long, a jar of wine and several plates of desert specialties were served.
The roasted meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an irresistible aroma.
The flatbread is golden and crispy, and looks very appetizing.
Fatty Wang saw all this delicious food.
He immediately started eating large mouthfuls, as if he hadn't eaten for days.
He ate while exclaiming, "This tastes absolutely amazing!"
However, the others did not touch their chopsticks.
Hu Bayi looked at Fatty Wang wolfing down his food and said speechlessly:
"Eat less, no one will take it from you."
"What's there to be afraid of? We've been in the desert for so long!"
"It's not easy to find such a sumptuous meal, we must eat it."
As he spoke, Fatty Wang picked up another piece of roasted meat and put it in his mouth.
Professor Chen then smiled and said:
"Everyone eat, everyone eat."
"After all, we've been traveling for so long, and we're starving."
However, Lin Yang, Shirley Yang, and Hu Bayi still did not touch their chopsticks.
Just then, Mag walked over.
Seeing that no one had touched their chopsticks, he couldn't help but ask:
"Gentlemen, why aren't you eating?"
"Is it because these dishes and drinks don't suit your taste?"
If that's the case, I can bring up some other things; I guarantee you'll be satisfied.
Lin Yang waved his hand, calmly looked at Mag, and slowly revealed the truth:
"It has nothing to do with these dishes and drinks; we're not eating them because..."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I could tell at a glance that you're not human."

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Mag froze on the spot, a bewildered expression on his face:
"Sir, what did you say? I don't understand a word you said!"
Lin Yang looked at him and repeated, word by word:
“I said, I can tell you’re not human at first glance.”
Mag gave an awkward laugh, forcing a smile.
"Sir, are you joking?"
He spread his hands, looked at himself, and said, "If I'm not human, then what am I?"
Professor Chen then chimed in.
