"It's so beautiful, but it's a pity that I couldn't shoot ......"

Dozens of kilometers away from Zhuang Rui's campsite, several people also made the same sound, and the beauty and mystery of the mirage made Professor Man and his party fascinated, and their hearts were full of longing for that dreamlike scene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It wasn't until the mirage slowly disappeared into mid-air for more than ten minutes that everyone woke up like a dream and came back to their senses.

"Mr. Erdan, I will leave the matter of searching for the ruins of the ancient temple today, please ......"

After packing up his things, Nakagawa walked to Erdan's side and bowed deeply, after seeing the wonders of nature just now, Nakagawa had a very strange feeling in his heart.

The beauty of the mirage is undoubted, but this beautiful scene is in a barren and even extremely dangerous desert, forming a great contrast.

Nakagawa wondered if his father, who disappeared in the desert decades ago, had also seen this spectacle with his own eyes?

The two camel teams, which were dozens of kilometers apart, set off almost at the same time, and the melodious camel bells rang in the desert.

The sun rises, and the scorching sun shines on everyone, which makes everyone miss the sea water in the mirage just now, if you can take a bath in the sea at this time, you must be able to pay a staggering price.

The morning passed quickly, and due to the mirage, it was delayed for more than an hour, and when it was close to noon, Zhuang Rui and the others came to the place where Zhongchuan and his party camped last night.

"Brother Zhuang, there are traces of barbecue here, they camped here yesterday......"

Peng Fei jumped off the camel, came to the sand pit, stretched out his finger and dipped some water in his mouth, and said, "These guys are luckier than us, this groundwater can be drunk directly......"

Yesterday, in order to equip the empty water bladder with some water, Peng Fei tossed until midnight before sleeping, but he didn't expect Erdan and others to dig a sand pit and have drinking water, which made Peng Fei feel very unbalanced.

Zhuang Rui saw that Mengzi did not get off the camel, but followed the camel footprints left in the desert, walked forward for dozens of meters, and then returned to the green space, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Brother Mengzi, what's wrong?"

"The direction they went was the place where the accident happened back then, and it was probably the quicksand area......" After the fierce son got off the camel, his face was full of solemnity when he untied his scarf.

Although after getting along with Zhuang Rui and others for a few days, Mengzi will never say anything about the devil's forbidden area again, but the fear of that area has been buried deep in his heart since he was a child.

After following the second egg and they went around in circles for several days, Zhuang Rui estimated that the Japanese didn't have much patience, and it was not too strange for them to go to the quicksand area today, so he asked Mengzi: "How far is it from here to that quicksand area?"

Zhuang Rui had just released the aura in his eyes, but he didn't find Erdan's caravan, which meant that the distance between them and himself was at least ten kilometers away.

Mengzi lowered his head, estimated in his heart for a while, and said: "There should be forty or fifty kilometers left, if I guess correctly, they should have reached the edge of the quicksand area......"

Due to the warnings of Lao Liu Tou and the old people in the town, the tour guides in the town have always avoided the devil's forbidden area, and even the fierce man did not dare to go deeper, so he could only say a general distance.

"So far away?"

Zhuang Rui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, forty or fifty kilometers in the desert was about to walk for a day, if something really happened ahead, it would be too late to catch up and rescue.

"Well, let's eat something and rest first, let's try to get there before dark......" Mengzi understood what Zhuang Rui meant, and he also regretted it a little, he knew that this was the case, so he narrowed the distance between the two sides.

Peng Fei was naturally in charge of the fire and cooking, and Mengzi led the camels, feeding them water one by one, and maintaining the physical strength of the camels was far more important than their own food.

After a short rest, everyone rode on the camel again, and chased along the traces left by the camel team of Erdan, Mengzi was a little anxious, and kept urging the camel to trot, wanting to catch up with Erdan and others as soon as possible.

……

"Brother Erdan, Nakagawa asks you, how long will it take to get to the quicksand area?"

I don't know why, Zhongchuan sat on the camel, always feeling a little unsettled, and almost every ten minutes, he urged Yan Translator to ask Erdan.

"Tell him not to worry, it's five or six miles away......

Erdan replied impatiently, "Why did you go earlier? Two days ago, I had to go around in circles, and now I know that I am in a hurry?"

After hearing Erdan's words, Professor Man exerted his legs, clamped the camel, rushed to Erdan's side and said, "Erdan, I think our team is going to adjust, put the materials on the two camels on one camel, and then let one walk in front......"

It has been more than 30 years since the quicksand swallowed up the residents of the town, and no one knows whether the quicksand area has expanded again.

Although he could hear the caution in Professor Man's words through the gauze scarf that shielded him from the wind and sand, Erdan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, for this forbidden place of death that has been rumored in the town for decades, he still has some drumming in his heart.

After the caravan was reorganized, a camel without supplies walked in front, and more than 30 meters behind it was a second camel carrying supplies such as drinking water.

As for Erdan and the others, the distance was even farther, hanging seventy or eighty meters behind the two camels, and Erdan used a whistle to control the direction of the two camels in front of him.

"Well, Erdan, look ahead, I feel a little wrong......"

As soon as he came down from a small sand dune more than 20 meters high, Professor Man suddenly stopped the camel and took out a high-powered telescope to observe the desert in front of him.

"Teacher Man, what's wrong? This sand is very common......"

Erdan didn't know why Professor Man stopped, this place seemed to be five or six miles away from the legendary devil's forbidden area, and there was only a relatively large flat sand area in front of it, which was also normal in the desert.

Because the dry sand is soft and not sticky, a strong wind can make the desert look unbelievable, and the terrain becomes strange and abnormal, there are sand dunes up to tens of meters high, and there are gentle lands that look hundreds of meters, and all unreasonable terrain explanations can exist in the desert.

Professor Man shook his head and said, "I feel that something is wrong, this sandy area is almost a kilometer away, I think we should go slower......"

Although the desert in front of him also had the kind of hills and ravines that were blown out by the wind, the kind of dead silence that seemed to be different from what he had seen earlier made Professor Man feel like he couldn't speak, and his heartbeat seemed to be much faster than usual.

Professor Man saw the two camels with their heads on the head, and without getting Erdan's instructions, they were still walking towards the sand that made Professor Man feel a little weird, and hurriedly said to Erdan: "Quick, stop the camels, it's noon, let's have a meal, and then survey the sandy land here......"

"It's nothing, right?Teacher Man, when you're hungry, just say it......"

Erdan muttered in his mouth, he has been a tour guide in the desert for six or seven years, and he has seen a lot of such landforms, but seeing that Professor Man insisted, Erdan still stretched out his thumb and index finger to hook together, stretched out his mouth and whistled loudly.

The two camels that were moving forward heard the whistle and did not react for a while, and the camel in front of them turned its head, but its body was still pushed forward by inertia.

"Alright, let's go down a little bit and eat against the dunes......"

Erdan turned back to Professor Man and said, but he was shocked to find that the scarf on Professor Man's face was taken off by him for some time, and the old face that was revealed was distorted like a ghost.

"Gollum, Gollum......"

At the same time, the rapid cry of the camel sounded in Erdan's ears, and in general, camels do not bark, only when the males demonstrate against each other during the breeding season.

And the camel also has a unique way of calling, first spitting out the vocal cords from the throat, then inflating the inside to make a low purring sound, and swallowing the vocal cords back after the chirping.

But Erdan could hear that the vocal cords spit out by the camel didn't seem to be swallowed any further!

Erdan's cranial nerve reaction was slower than that of the ear nerve, and when he turned around, he found that half of the camel walking in front, with a two-meter-high body, had fallen into the sand.

The camel doesn't understand the principle of quicksand, and after this foot is empty, it is struggling desperately, but the more it struggles, the faster the body sinks, and the flat sand surface is like a black hole, pulling the camel's body closer to the bottomless black abyss.

In just a few seconds when Erdan turned back, the camel more than two meters tall had only one head left exposed on the sand, and the sound in his throat was extremely terrible, which shocked the camel under Erdan and the others.

"Ermao...... Don't run, don't run, turn back, come back!"

Erdan's mouth whistled one after another, and the camels who had just calmed down his seat found that the second camel walking in front of him was panicked, and he plunged into the quicksand area, struggling desperately.

"Big hair, two hairs......"

Erdan snatched the telescope from Professor Man's hand, and looked at the camel whose head slowly sank into the quicksand, tears flowed uncontrollably...... It's their best brother.

Erdan can clearly see that when Da Mao was swallowed by the yellow sand, muddy tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, which made Erdan's heart like a knife, it was his carelessness that made the two good partners die in the desert.
