Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 148 Castle Horror
It turned out that Poplar got off the camel and ran ahead, and the eyes of the iron bull were always fixed on his figure.
At that time, the yellow sand was pervasive, and Tie Niu actually couldn't see the figure of Poplar clearly, but because of this, Tie Niu knew very well that if Poplar couldn't ride a camel, he would be 100% dead.
So when the male camel got up again and led the team to flee for his life, all the camels, including the Iron Bull and the White Sheep, got up of their own accord and chased after the male camel like crazy.
But Poplar had not yet returned, and Iron Bull could only tighten his and Poplar's two camels to prevent them from running too fast after the camels in front of them.
Fortunately, Poplar appeared in time to climb the camel, and both brothers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The other camels in front of them were almost gone, and the Poplar Iron Ox could only crouch on the camel's back, allowing the two camels to carry them forward and chase after them.
They had been heading southwest, but now they were fleeing for their lives in the northwest.
The storm was blowing due south, which prolonged their flight.
But as the wind and sand blew more and more violently, everyone could no longer see the shadow of the Golden Pupil Divine Eagle, let alone hear the chirping of the Golden Pupil Divine Eagle.
Fortunately, the leading male camel never stopped, and kept galloping in the northwest direction.
Everyone was dizzy and dizzy by the camel, and could only firmly cling to the hunchback, completely without self-assertion, and could only resign themselves to fate whether they were dead or alive.
I vaguely felt as if the camel had climbed up a piece of high ground, and then turned one after another, and circled to the bottom of the high ground.
Because of the high ground blocking, I felt that the wind was much lighter all of a sudden.
Everyone jumped off their hunchbacks, and when they saw that the camels were all so tired that they were foaming at the mouth, they gathered together under the high ground and refused to move.
Suddenly, the shadow shook, and the golden-eyed condor, which had saved everyone, flew directly into the arms of the poplars.
Poplar's heart was full of gratitude and love, but at this time, he didn't care about making love to the Condor, and hurriedly looked around, and found that they were actually in the ruins of an ancient city.
The high ground in front of you should be an ancient castle, although the castle has collapsed, its roots are still strong and solid.
In addition, around the castle, there are bare sections of broken walls, which can be imagined that thousands of years ago, this place was a thriving human settlement.
"What are we going to do now? can we just hide behind this ruined castle?" asked Poplar aloud.
Chen Dalin looked up at the wind and sand raging in the sky, shook his head and said: "No, this big sandstorm is too violent, I have never encountered it in my life, these camels should be able to survive, but we people are hiding behind the castle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive!"
"What then?" asked Poplar anxiously.
As he spoke, the wind howled more and more terrifyingly, and the wind swept the yellow sand, which was no longer dark yellow, but jet black.
The sky and the earth seemed to have been torn apart and swept up in the wind and sand, and it was impossible to distinguish where the sky was and where the earth was.
"Hurry up and dig the roots of this castle to see if there are any gaps in it, and if you can hide people!" Chen Dalin shouted.
Everyone immediately took action, and at this time, they didn't care about rummaging for shovels on the camel's back, so they directly scraped the sand along the foot of the castle with their hands.
Chen Dalin lined up all the camels along the foot of the castle, and the camels immediately knelt on the ground and lowered their heads to avoid the wind and sand without his command.
The foot of the castle was also buried in the sand, and it took a few more minutes for a few more people before Max first screamed.
Several people hurriedly leaned over to take a look, and suddenly found that a black hole appeared at Max's feet.
By this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the yellow sand was falling from the heights.
Everyone knew that in a few moments, they would be buried in the yellow sand, and they didn't care if there was any other danger in the hole, so Max climbed into the black hole first. Everyone else climbed in.
Bai Yang turned his head to see Ding Lingling untying her backpack from the hunchback, and then he thought that he had to carry the most important things with him.
So he hurriedly sent the Golden Pupil Condor into the black hole first, found the camel he was riding, untied the backpack from the camel, and took off a large water bag on the camel's back.
After a moment's delay, a gust of wind swept in, almost sweeping away the backpack in his hand.
Bai Yang couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly climbed into the black hole behind Ding Lingling.
It was already pitch black outside, and there was naturally no light in the cave. But as soon as Poplar entered the cave, the Golden Pupil Condor flew over and landed in Poplar's arms accurately.
The sound of the wind outside became more and more sharp and harsh, and before I had only felt that I was only trying to flee for my life, it sounded like the howl of a resentful ghost in hell.
Everyone had a sense of horror of escaping death, so much so that they sat in the dark, and no one dared to say anything or move for a long time.
For a long, long time, Chen Dalin first relieved himself and said: "Okay, our lives are saved, who has a flashlight at hand, turn it on to take care of what the situation is!"
Everyone else looked at each other, just digging the sand to find holes, no one bothered to remove the backpack from the hunchback, and no one bothered to rummage through the backpack for a flashlight.
Only Bai Yang was secretly happy and secretly ashamed, because if he hadn't seen Ding Lingling take off his backpack, he, the group leader, would also be speechless at the moment.
Ding Lingling first found the flashlight to light it up, and then followed by Poplar to find the flashlight.
The cave suddenly became bright, and everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
for all men's heads were covered with yellow sand. Even on the back of everyone's face, there is a layer of sand and sand on the backs of their faces.
Of course, everyone's eyes are full of horror, and since ancient times, it has always been said that man will conquer heaven, but only today do I know that in the face of the power of nature, the power of human beings is really insignificant.
After that, Poplar projected the light pillar of the flashlight to other places, wanting to see how big the space was and whether it was strong enough.
Ding Lingling also looked around with a flashlight, but couldn't help but cry out "ah".
Bai Yang immediately projected the light pillar of the flashlight in the direction that Ding Lingling was looking at, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
The space was not too narrow, and it seemed that it was supposed to be when the ancient castle collapsed, and several large beams fell diagonally, supporting such a space together with the wall on the other side.
But after a few people climbed in, they didn't know that the space would be so spacious, so they all sat in a long row next to one wall.
Among them, Max sat in the innermost part, right next to him, and suddenly there was a white skeleton.
The white bones fell crookedly in the corner, as if they were slowly falling against the corner.
In front of the eyes of several other people, three other white bones were lying on the ground. They all seemed to be curled up, as if they had experienced some pain before they died.
"Why are there so many white bones here?" asked Hongxing in surprise.
"I guess I came in to avoid the sandstorm!" Tie Niu replied immediately, smiling comfortingly at the red apricot, "Don't be afraid, they are already white bones, they must have been dead for hundreds of years!"
"I know it's been dead for hundreds of years, the question is...... Even if they encountered a sandstorm, but they all hid here, why did they die?" asked Hongxing.
"This ...... Maybe they didn't have enough water!
Tie Niu asked directly in front of Chen Dalin.
Chen Dalin frowned and shook his head, and said, "It shouldn't be because of the lack of water, right? If it was because of the lack of water, they should have gone out to find water, how could they all die in this house?"
"Could it be...... After they came in, the entrance to the cave was blocked by yellow sand, so they were suffocated to death?"
"It shouldn't be possible, right?" Poplar said, "There will always be a process of being suffocated, and once the people who come in feel depressed, they naturally know to go and pick up the yellow sand at the entrance of the cave first." This is yellow sand, not a big rock, we can pick it in, and naturally we can pick it out!"
"What else could be the reason for that?" Iron Bull asked again.
Bai Yang didn't know how to answer, so he could only cast his eyes on Chen Dalin again.
"This ...... I can't say for sure, but although we have saved our lives for the time being, we still have to try to be vigilant and not be careless at all!" Chen Dalin said.
Everyone else nodded.
As the leader of the group, Poplar is even more worried, just afraid that if the camels outside can't stand the storm and die or run away, it will be difficult for them to get out of the desert alive even if they escape the big sandstorm.
So he couldn't help but turn around and peek out through the hole.
I felt that the wind and sand were blowing on my face, and I couldn't even get out of the air. And it was obviously noon, but at the moment it was dark outside, and nothing could be seen except for a camel lying prone next to the entrance of the cave.
But since this camel was still there, the other camels would definitely not run, so Poplar hurriedly retracted his head again, and could not help coughing again and again, and it took a long time to clean the sand from his mouth.
A few people didn't have any other thoughts, and even the skeletons didn't bother to pay attention to it at this time.
Poplar took out a water bag and handed it to the two girls to drink first.
After a few sips, the two girls wet their handkerchiefs and wiped their dusty faces.
The men also took turns drinking water, but no one cared whether their faces were dirty or not.
Listening to the wind howling outside, I don't know when this big sandstorm will stop.
Everyone sat quietly in the corner, worried about the camels outside, and even more worried that if the ancient castle could not withstand the power of this great sandstorm and collapsed, then they would be buried alive here.
But worrying is also in vain, and a few people can only close their eyes and pretend to sleep for a moment.
Before he could fall asleep, suddenly two jade hummingbirds chirped.
Ding Lingling woke up first, and immediately shouted: "Everyone be sober, Xiaolu Xiaocui is calling the police, there must be some danger to happen!"
