Chapter 843: The Ancient City After the Desert Migrated!
The wind and sand howled, and the outside world was like the howl of endless evil spirits in the abyss of hell, and the sound of wind and sand was terrifying.
The stone houses are generally filled with yellow sand, so the interior of the whole house is a sloping structure, as if a sand slope was placed in an old stone house.
"It's terrible, natural disasters are not something that human beings can withstand. The madman stood beside Lin Yumai and said with an ugly face.
Lin Yumai nodded, deliberately glanced at the hole blocked by the camel, and asked the black wolf suspiciously: "What should I do if the camel is buried?"
The face of the black wolf is like the rest of his life, he said happily: "All the creatures in the desert can die, but the camel can't die, their body is a good natural barrier, when they are curled up in the desert, once they are almost buried, they will use their bodies to support themselves, so that they are not completely buried, so when the time comes, we just need to open this gap, dig a little bit and it should be fine." ”
"That's right, even if it's buried like an ancient city, it's not hard to dig a passage out with our strength. Lin Yumai said.
The yellow sand is windy, and listening to the sound of the terrifying sandstorm outside in the house is very unsettling.
Lin Yumai took out the lamp, placed one on each side, and lit up the stone house.
The size of the stone house is more than 30 square meters, and the sand slope buries a large part, and the whole stone house is a slope structure, Wang Zitao and they have to use a shovel to level the slope and give them a flat space that is enough to rest.
"How long does it take for a sandstorm to pass?" Lin Yumai asked the silent black wolf.
"It depends on whether the Desert Grim Reaper favors us, if it blows for three days, we may really be buried in the ground, but sandstorms usually don't last long, and after tonight we should be fine. The black wolf said.
If there is really a sandstorm that blows for three days, then this ancient city may have to be buried hundreds of meters underground, it is a very terrifying existence, even if Lin Yumai's terrifying power wants to make a hole in the ground, it is extremely difficult, the sand dunes become a pyramid structure, the more the weight and density of the bottom will be very huge, which is why even if it is located in the desert where the ancient city is buried, excavation has become a big problem.
"I think this sandstorm is estimated to pass soon, let's rest here for a night temporarily, everyone put their minds at ease, eat and drink well, sleep well, and recuperate enough to go on the road tomorrow. Lin Yumai calmed the restless crowd, and then took out a bunch of food and water from Qiankun's pocket.
It's just that compared with the leisure and leisure at noon, their expressions are somewhat panicked at this moment, and they almost didn't eat much, only Xiao Qiqi ate like she had no heart or lungs.
"It's actually very dangerous at night in the desert, and you need to leave someone to keep vigil. Little Kiki said suddenly.
"It's still dangerous here. Wang Zitao wondered.
"Do you think that only we will find a place to take refuge, and the creatures in the desert will also find a place to take refuge in the event of a sandstorm, especially in a place like an ancient city, even if it is above the surface, I am afraid that some underground creatures will burrow in. Xiao Qiqi glanced at Wang Zitao and said, "There is no common sense at all." ”
"The little girl is right, the creatures that the underground creatures are most afraid of carrying poisonous creatures, so someone still has to keep vigil, so let's keep a vigil for you. The black wolf volunteered, as if he wanted to behave better in front of Lin Yumai.
"No, you just sleep, I, the madman, and Rao Qi can keep vigil. Lin Yumai said with a tough attitude.
Crazy people need to cultivate, it doesn't matter if Lin Yumai doesn't sleep, Rao Qi doesn't seem to have seen her sleep at all, if someone threatens Wu Lei, I'm afraid she is the first person who can react.
The three masters kept vigil, and they were afraid that there would be a fart danger, so after everyone filled their stomachs, they fell asleep in the terrifying wind outside.
The tiring rush of the past few days, although it seems to be leisurely, is actually physically and mentally exhausted, and several people almost fell into a state of second sleep.
The madman had already sat cross-legged and closed his eyes and entered a state of cultivation, while Rao Qi was squatting in a dark corner, not knowing whether he had slept or not.
Lin Yumai sat at the entrance of the cave, glanced at the people here, and then glanced around, confirming that there was nothing abnormal before closing his eyes and entering the state of cultivation and emptiness, but his divine sense perception had been shrouding the room.
Due to the sand outside the house, his perception has become very narrow, and he is unable to penetrate the sand to perceive whether there are creatures underground.
The scars of the wind, the yellow sand covered the sky, the terrifying and vast apocalyptic scene swallowed the sky and the earth, and a dull and uneasy atmosphere filled the entire stone house.
I don't know how long it took, but there was no longer the howling of the wind outside, but it was unusually quiet.
Lin Yumai opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the entrance of the cave in confusion, which had been blocked by yellow sand, and was no longer the body of a camel.
He pushed the sealed hole with his hand, it was very loose and not very tight, and then he used a little internal force, and the hole immediately collapsed.
Lin Yumai slowly came out, but soon, his eyes widened in disbelief.
The madman and Rao Qi who came out immediately after came out and saw the unrecognizable scene in front of them, they also showed surprise.
"This ......"
"Aren't we buried?" said the madman in surprise.
At this moment, it was no longer the sand dunes and endless yellow sand that appeared in front of them, but in the dark night, many ancient mottled ancient buildings appeared, as if an ancient city appeared in front of them out of thin air.
You know, when they came here, there was nothing but a corner of the stone house.
And at this moment, the yellow sand turned into an ancient city in the desert sat in front of them.
"Desert migration ......" Lin Yumai suddenly thought of a word.
In the Taklamakan Desert, the desert is the second largest mobile desert in the world, and it can be said that the landform of the entire desert is changing all the time, just like the oasis suddenly seen in the desert, after the abnormal sandstorm, the oasis becomes a sand dune, and then another sandstorm appears one day in the next few years or centuries, and it is possible that the once buried oasis will reappear in the desert under the desert migration.
This time, instead of burying them, the sandstorm they experienced emptied the sand dunes that were originally like waves, revealing the ancient city under the desert.
At this moment, the others were also alarmed, and they were speechless after climbing out of the sand hole of the stone house.
After the sandstorm, the night sky was unusually clear, without a trace of dirt, and the stars and bright moon in the sky illuminated the ancient city in this desert, and the gray and cold silver shrouded the ancient city in the desert, adding a very strong and strange mysterious color.
"This ...... This ......" the black wolf was speechless.
He had always thought that there were only a few dilapidated stone houses here, but he did not expect that after the desert was moved, such a large scale of ancient buildings would be revealed, like a city.
In the distance is a mottled city wall, which stretches for several kilometers to surround the entire dilapidated ancient city, and most of the buildings here retain the appearance of the ancient city of the Western Regions.
Deathly silent, silent, there were no lights in the ancient city, and the doors and windows of every ancient building were pitch black, full of gloom and weirdness.
"A ghost town in the desert?"
Lin Yumai said in a low voice, he remembered an article that Xiao Qiqi read in the desert notes yesterday, and this scene was so similar to the scene described in the book.
After Lin Yumai finished speaking, everyone looked at him in unison, and inexplicably felt a chill, just because they were deep in this ghost town.
"Ahem, Brother Mai, don't scare people, how can there be such a coincidence in this world, Kiki's book has passed thirty years, and we are thirty years later, there are so many ancient cities buried in the desert, I don't believe that such a coincidence will happen in this world. Wang Zitao said.
"Don't scare yourself, let's look around and see what is going on in this ancient city, and if there is a major discovery, it will be worth the trip. Lin Yumai said.
Everyone nodded and walked towards the depths of the ancient city.
From the streets of the ancient city and the mottled scene at this moment, we can vaguely restore the prosperity here in those years.
Soon, they walked along the street to the main road of the ancient city, which looked like the main road, just because the road was relatively wide, but the interface was already dilapidated, and the collapsed houses and stone pillars were lying on the road, and it was a little difficult to walk, and most of the few stone houses that were still intact were filled with yellow sand.
"Any ruins of an ancient city in the desert can be called a ghost town, because there can be no living people in it, especially in the special case of desert migration, the only explanation is that this is likely to be one of the ancient cities of the thirty-six ancient kingdoms in the Western Regions. Kiki said.
Her eyes kept looking at the collapsed stone pillars around her and some broken sculptures, some of which were carved with strange inscriptions and patterns, but due to the wind erosion for many years, many of the patterns and words were blurred and very corrupt.
Desolate, lonely, gloomy, terrifying, this is the feeling that this ancient city gives them.
"Look at these pillars. ”
At this time, they came to a place similar to the central square of the ancient city, where there appeared two rows of towering stone pillars, there were two huge stone pillars, one on the left and one on the right, on each stone pillar were carved with ancient seals, very blurred, difficult to see, and at the top of these stone pillars there appeared some strange sculptures, these sculptures looked hideous and terrifying, both good and evil, as if they were not like the creatures of this world.
