Chapter 1 Ruins

Deserts stretch as far as the eye can see, the scorching sun turns the earth into golden ovens, and the blazing heat can even distort air and light. The high sand dunes are silent, twisting and turning, like mountains of gold, and if the wind blows, the sand will flutter like a veil and shine like gold. However, the deep desert is rarely blown by the wind, and the sand dunes here are unchanging, as if they buried life and time......

"The desert sand is like snow, and the moon is like a hook. β€”Don. Li He

Kan Zhiguo, an oasis next to the desert, in the southwest of Shangtong Continent, if the continent is regarded as a Tai Chi Bagua map, it is a pole far away from the country of Lizhi, the country of Lizhi is close to the sea, the rain is abundant, the seafood is abundant, but the people of Lizhi are enthusiastic, and the country of Kan borders the desert, the water source is scarce, the perennial drought, its people are as cold as frost.

The desert in front of you is also quite far away from the country of Kan, far away from the human realm, merchants can't find a trace of business opportunities here, miners can't dig a piece of gold here, even birds and animals will stay away from this area, this is like a forbidden place in the world, no one will come up with the idea of coming here to take a turn as a sightseeing tour.

But on such a golden sand, there are a few rows of shallow footprints, the footprints have been forward, not the slightest hesitation, from the shape of the footprints and the length of the steps, this is a kind of beast called the hump beast, the most popular desert means of transportation for the people of the country of Kan, this kind of beast in addition to the poor character, there is no aggression, and they can store a lot of water in their own hump, even if they walk in the desert for a day will not die of thirst, so the people of the country of Kan domesticated them to help them conquer the desert.

As far as the eye could see, they were finally able to catch up with these huge humps, a total of five humpback beasts, their steady steps were not affected by the soft yellow sand, the humps on their backs were like rolling mountains, they walked leisurely through the purgatory-like desert, like walking on the grasslands rich in water and grass. Between the humps of each head there are seats, and in the seats sit four men and a woman wrapped in white cloth turbans.

"I said, boss, what does your master and his old man think, how can there be treasures in this kind of place? It is still the essence inheritance left by the origin race, no matter how I look at it, it is nothing but sand or sand. ”

A young man with a mellow body said, his voice rough.

"I also saw a fool. ”

Another sturdy young man replied in a domineering tone.

"What did you say!"

"Say what's wrong with you!"

"Don't... Stop arguing. ”

A thin young man's voice trembled a little, obviously his status in the team was not high, for the two people who were arguing, although he had the heart to persuade him, but he was powerless to return to the sky, the two people who were fighting were ignited by the hot desert, and the fire was getting stronger and stronger, and he was about to start.

"Ahem. ”

At this time, a pleasant throat sounded, it was the only graceful shadow among the five figures, it looked very delicate, but it was strange to say, the two people who seemed to be looking for fire on their heads immediately seemed to be blown by the cold wind like a sharp blade on their cheeks, and glared at each other stupidly, don't look away, and a dispute was stopped in this way.

"This is a desert, the air is hot and dry, you both calm down, we don't have much water in the first place, don't consume excess water, if we can't find the place that Master said, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get out of here." ”

In the end, the leader spoke, Yun Yuan's voice was hoarse, he had undergone Mo Wei's Chiyan trial, the heat in the desert did not have much impact on him, but the lack of water had a serious impact, Zhu Junjie's water bag burst because of overheating, which is a common mistake made by inexperienced novices when entering the desert, filling the water bag too full. One of the five water bags broke, Zhu Junjie almost cried, Yun Yuan shared one with him, and after such a long time to consume two more, now there are only two left, but the Linyuan team still doesn't know where their destination is, so it seems that if they can't find a little eyebrow before the water in the next water bag is exhausted for them to drink, then it is very likely that they will really not be able to get out of this vast desert.

"That being said, but we don't even have a clue, it's better to hurry back to rehydrate while the water is still enough, this time the experience is insufficient, I promise that the water bag will definitely not explode again next time." ”

Zhu Junjie swore a serious oath.

"Even though he was underwhelmed, I agreed with what he said. ”

Yan Fei reconsidered.

Xiao Meng and Snake Nai didn't speak, but there was also a retreat in their eyes, obviously thinking that it was an unwise choice to move on.

"Wait, I feel like we're close. ”

Yun Yuan's dragon robe waved, indicating that I have made up my mind, what you say is useless, Yan Fei and the four shrugged their shoulders, and did not dissuade again.

Woo~whoa~

The hump beast was frightened, and suddenly the five people were alert, no matter how you say it, the hump beast is also a first-order Shang beast, if it does not encounter a considerable threat, it will not make such a scream, obviously there is some hidden threat in the sand.

"Look there!"

Xiao Meng was the first to discover the enemy.

It was a second-order rattlesnake, its scales were similar to the color of sand, it was good at burying its body in the sand to attack its prey, and the structure of its tail could vibrate violently and make sounds, threatening enemies to retreat, and it was a creature at the top of the food chain in the desert. Rattlesnakes don't hunt large creatures like Humps, and it was the humps that accidentally alarmed the proud predator when they walked, and they wagked their tails violently to assert their sovereignty.

However, it encountered an even more domineering creature, and a glimmer of green flashed in Yun Yuan's eyes, and the rattlesnake collapsed to the ground as if it saw the sky fall.

The heart of the columbia is once again powerful, and all poisons can only be dispersed.

"It's strange, there shouldn't be creatures in the depths of the desert, right?"

Xiao Meng was puzzled, he had seen this kind of predator on the way here, but as the five of them gradually went deeper into the desert, they never saw any living creatures again, except for themselves......

"There is only one explanation, we are close to the goal. ”

Yun Yuan's hoarse voice revealed joy.

Hearing this, everyone regained their confidence and continued to move forward, and as they continued to go deeper, there were indeed more and more creatures, and they even encountered a third-order large lizard. In the battle, they lost a water bag and a hump beast, and now they not only have one water bag left, but snake Nai also has no choice but to squeeze on a hump beast with Zhu Junjie, and now they only have one bag of water left, and the five of them have no way out, only desperate to find the treasure that Mo Wei said.

"I said Snake Brother, can't you just go up? Your ass is sitting with me......

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry......"

"Don't scare him!"

Xiao Meng scolded Zhu Junjie.

"Mengmeng, you don't understand my pain at all, this kid is too heavy, this space is small, there is really no place, or you change with him, I promise not to complain!"

Zhu Junjie said cheaply, but the Hump Beast Twin Peaks could only accommodate one person, and it was really funny for the two of them to huddle together.

"I ......"

Xiao Meng just wanted to scold this slut, but her hump beast suddenly seemed to step on something, and the sand sank for a while.

Quicksand, simply put, sand flows like a liquid, deserts with unstable foundations often appear, when a heavy object is stepped on it, it will immediately fall into the sand, sand is like a huge whirlpool to swallow the creatures that accidentally step into the trap of nature, once stepping into it it is difficult to get out.

Fortunately, it was the hump beast that stepped in, Xiao Meng's technique was extremely fast, untied the only water bag, and a somersault landed on Yunyuan's hump beast, she was as light as a swallow, and she didn't feel the weight at all when she landed on the hump beast. The poor humpback kept struggling, but it sank deeper and deeper, and finally it was completely buried in the sand.

"Alas, when I came out, there were still five brothers, and when I went back, there were only three left, how to explain this to the boss. ”

Zhu Junjie let out a lament.

"I thought you were praying for that camel......"

Yan Fei was a little speechless, Yun Yuan frowned, the death of the Hump Beast in battle was also a heavy blow to them, after all, the Hump Beast was still an important substitute, and what worried him the most was that he had a very strong premonition, this time he really found the treasure, but he didn't expect it to fall short again......

Well?

Everyone suddenly noticed that the sand was moving where the humpback had sunk! The shaking became more and more violent, and suddenly something came out of the sand, it was the head of the humpback! It seemed that this quicksand was very shallow, and even the body of the humpback could only be barely buried, and even if it fell, there was no danger.

Everyone stepped forward one after another to help the lucky camel climb out, the sand continued to sink due to gravity, forming a big pit, Yun Yuan was pleasantly surprised to see that the bottom of the pit revealed the color of bronze, under the scorching sun, the texture of the bronze was quite obvious, like the scales of the ancient dragon hidden in the ground.

"There's something!"

Yun Yuan shouted, it turned out that the hump beast was not spared because the quicksand was too shallow, but luckily stepped on this bronze texture "artifact", and it did not sink because it had a foothold.

"What is this? Big piece of iron?"

"You can't find a "big piece of iron" in this kind of place, no matter how you think about it, it's the treasure we're looking for, okay?"

Yan Fei was really speechless for him.

"It's supposed to be bronze, maybe part of some bronze, but it's so big we shouldn't take it with us. ”

Xiao Meng judged.

"Anyway, dig it out first. ”

Yun Yuan gave the final instructions, and everyone finally stopped the boring hurried, wrapped their hands in Shang Yuan and began to dig, this is to prevent being scalded by the hot sand.

Airplanes!

"Did you feel something was wrong?"

Yun Yuan asked.

"Well, this sound, it should be that the sand is about to fall again. ”

"Ahh

Everyone let out a miserable shout, the sand really sank again, to be precise, it was like the ice on the ice lake was broken, and when it fell, Yun Yuan finally saw the whole picture of the "bronze artifact", which was a huge statue made of bronze, and the part they saw just now, exposed on the sand, was just the door of people's heads.

This is a monument of the ages, and it has finally reappeared in the world at this moment.
