Chapter 979: Desert Flower

Lin Xiao turned his head and glanced at the three of them, and said very seriously.

"Swallowed up a town, this quicksand is so terrifying?"

Imagine that the town of tens of thousands of people was swallowed up by quicksand, and there was not even a single thing left, and a few chicks turned pale with fright.

"Isn't it dangerous for us this time?

Shangguan Yanwan cried with a sad face.

"Haha!"

"It's okay this time, His Highness Gru has arranged for someone to lead the way in front, and if there is danger, he will be warned in advance. ”

"As long as you all follow the arrangement, I guarantee that you are safe!"

Lin Xiao patted his chest and reassured.

"Okay, okay, then I'll follow you every step of the way, I'll go wherever you go!"

Shangguan Yanwan nodded her little head desperately.

Next to him, Xu Xiaobing pouted disdainfully.

felt that Lin Xiao was bragging.

The car drove all the way for almost four hours.

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, a small oasis was reached.

The oasis is small in size.

That's about the size of a large village.

According to the original plan, the group was to stay here for one night.

Then we will continue on our way early tomorrow morning.

After setting up the tent, everyone played a small bonfire party on the desert.

Dispel the cold of the night in the desert and relax everyone.

Everyone was happy eating their own yakiniku and drinking specially prepared beer.

It's not easy to live so leisurely in the desert.

"It's about 500 kilometers from the nearest city!"

"So try not to leave this oasis tonight. ”

"Otherwise, if you lose your way and are scattered with everyone, you will surely die!"

Davy, this guy is a soldier and doesn't understand customs.

When everyone was the happiest to play, they ran over and shouted at everyone.

Then he dutifully took his men to the guard.

Before, everyone had invited them to come and have a good time.

But he rejected them all.

"That's right, while everyone is relaxing, you must be careful, and you must not run around. ”

Tang Qianqian agreed with David's point of view and repeated it again.

"Oh, that's a shame, I would have liked to go on a night trip to the desert. ”

Shangguan Yanwan next to her said with some frustration.

"It's okay to travel in the desert at night, you can't swim back if you swim, that's why you can't see people alive and don't see corpses. ”

Lin Xiao teased with a smile.

"However, I heard that at night, there may be a very magical thing in the desert, called the Desert Flower!"

He said with a smile.

"Desert flowers?"

Everyone was a little curious.

"Yes, the flower of the desert is a treasure in this desert, there are legends, but it is difficult to say whether it exists or not. ”

"At least I've spent decades in the desert and I've never seen one. ”

An old local guide next to him took over Lin Xiao's words.

This time, in order to ensure that there are no accidents, in addition to Davy bringing people to protect.

I also got five of the most experienced desert guides in the region.

"Old man, tell me, is this desert flower a plant, what is it for?"

"yes, what's it for, can you eat it?"

Everyone looked at him curiously.

The old man was stared at by more than a dozen beauties at once, and he felt that his waist was straightened.

Naturally, it began to talk endlessly.

"What exactly the Desert Flower is, no one knows!"

"But the most widely circulated saying is that the flower of the desert is the spirit of the desert. ”

"But don't hear its name as nice as it sounds, it'......"

The old guide paused deliberately when he said this.

"Actually, this desert flower is one of the bloodiest things, right?"

Mu Yi's faint voice came from the side.

He likes to study these messes the most, and he is naturally no stranger to them.

"Hey, young man, how do you know?"

The old tour guide looked at Mu Yi with some surprise.

Mu Yi just smiled and didn't speak.

"This young man is right, according to legend, this desert flower will appear in the bloodiest and darkest places. ”

The old guide nodded very seriously.

"Old man, isn't there a lot of the same thing in this desert?"

Someone asked curiously.

yes, standing on top of this oasis and looking around.

There is overwhelming yellow sand everywhere, not all of them are the same?

Besides, how can there be blood or darkness in the desert?

"Hehe, little girl, you're wrong!"

The old guide smiled mysteriously.

Reach out and point to the desert in the distance.

"That's right, if you look at the past now, this desert is everywhere!"

"But what you see now is only the surface of this desert!"

"But under this desert, there are secrets that no one knows!"

Under the desert, there are secrets that no one knows?

Everyone looked at each other and felt that what the old tour guide said was a little evil.

Only Lin Xiao squinted slightly, and a trace of murder flashed in his eyes.

Dynasty under the desert!

Hearing the words of the old tour guide, Tang Qianqian unconsciously sounded a book she had seen.

In that book, there is a detailed record of the civilizations that mankind has experienced since its development.

There was a written record in it.

In the country of Egypt in Africa, countless civilized cities have been born.

There have been many dynasties that were once at the top of the world.

Later, due to various changes, the desert gradually eroded the land.

The dynasty was forced to migrate to the banks of the fertile river.

The original magnificent buildings gradually disappeared into the boundless desert with the passage of time.

Mu Yi said just now that the desert flower represents blood, brutality, and darkness.

I am afraid that it is also because, no matter how prosperous it was, how glorious it was once a dynasty, it was always built under the bloody means of those in power.

"Old man, you haven't answered me yet, what is the use of the desert flower?"

Shangguan Yanwan didn't think about it that much.

This girl is a martial arts fan, and as for those historical documents and the like, she rarely reads them.

"Hehe, then I don't know!"

"Some people say that the desert flower represents an infinite amount of energy, and if it can be obtained, it can have great strength. ”

"Some people say that the desert flower represents bad luck, and if anyone sees it, something bad will happen. ”

"It is also said that the flower of death carries the most vicious curse of the kings or high priests of all ages......

Many girls looked at each other.

It just so happened that a cool breeze was blowing, and it felt a little eerie.

It is said that in the deep passages of the tomb, a solemn and majestic incantation is engraved: Whoever disturbs the king's peace will be accompanied by the wings of death.

It was thought that the purpose of carving such a spell on the tomb was to scare the robbers of the tomb and save the king and the treasures from being robbed.

With the rise of modern archaeology, many Western scholars and explorers came to Egypt to excavate monuments, but they did not take it seriously.

But what has happened for more than a century has made those who dare to fear the king's spell.

Whoever enters the King's Tomb, whether it is an explorer, a tomb robber, or someone else.

Most of them soon contracted incurable diseases or died inexplicably due to accidents.

One has to wonder if this is the king's spell.

"Okay, it's not early, let's go back and rest, and be careful not to run around at night!"

Look at the toss until almost nine o'clock.

Tang Qianqian was the first to stand up.

After an afternoon of running in the desert, everyone was a little tired.

Thinking that there was still half a day's journey tomorrow, everyone went back to their tents.

It was late at night, and everyone fell asleep.

In the entire small oasis, only David and a dozen of his men were vigiling vigilantly.

Lin Xiao didn't sleep, lying on his back in the tent, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

"Lin Xiao, are you sleeping?"

Outside the tent, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

Then Yao Qingyun's voice sounded.

"No, come in!"

Lin Xiao turned over and sat up, his current tent was big enough to accommodate four or five people to sleep.

However, in order not to disturb him, the people still let him sleep here.

Yao Qingyun lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.

His face was a little red from the night breeze in the desert.

At the same time, it brought in a cool breeze outside.

"Cover yourself with a blanket and warm up. ”

Lin Xiao motioned for her to sit beside him.

The two of them sat cross-legged on the mats, covering their legs with blankets, which would relieve the cold of the desert night somewhat.

"If the previous investigation is correct, Canadian Solar and the demon legion of 3,000 people should be around here!"

Yao Qingyun took out the map, spread it between the two of them, and pointed to a location above and whispered.

It is this oasis where they are.

Previously, His Highness Gru and Yao Qingyun used various connections to try to find out the whereabouts of Art Solar and the 3,000-person demon legion.

The crowd analyzed it first.

If Canadian Solar wants to resurrect the demon army of 3,000 people, there will definitely be a lot of commotion at that time.

It would be very difficult for a force of 3,000 people to appear in an urban area without being discovered.

Therefore, everyone made a bold guess that it was very likely that Canadian Solar had transferred the corpses of the three thousand warriors to the desert.

That's right, in the middle of the desert!

For this reason, His Highness Gru sent a large number of people to investigate everywhere.

Finally, the harvest was finally achieved.

They found an old man who had been working as a tour guide in the desert all year round.

The old man said that he had seen a strange scene two or three days ago on the night.

In the desert, layers of wind and sand are rolled up in white.

With decades of experience in the desert, the old tour guide concluded that there must be a large number of convoys driving in the dark desert.

But there was no light in those places.

Then there is only one possibility, those cars are not with their lights on, and they are moving in the dark.

This is particularly strange.

What kind of person is it, dispatching so many convoys, but still driving blindly?

Everyone followed the vine and finally found more clues in the most marginal city.
