Everyone walked among the huge stone mushrooms, and somehow, everyone felt the slightest wisps of cool breeze blowing in their faces, not only the heat was gone, but there was something eerie.

Hongxing first said: "It's so cold here, why is this happening?"

"It must be related to the surrounding terrain!" Chen Dalin replied, "Look at the stretching sand dunes on both sides, which form a wind channel here, and even the sand on the ground can't be stored, so the sand layer here is not very thick!"

"But if this is a wind tunnel, then how can these stone mushrooms exist? They must have been sandified earlier than other places, right?"

"You girl really broke the casserole and asked the end, I really don't know this!" Chen Dalin smiled.

Ding Lingling said: "Maybe there used to be a stone mountain here, but after the desertification in other places, the wind blew the sand along the foot of the mountain on both sides to form sand dunes, and slowly it became a wind channel, and the wind eroded the stone mountain, and gradually formed this stone mushroom!"

Her explanation is not 100% accurate, after all, she is not a geologist herself.

But Chen Dalin nodded again and again, and said: "You cultural people still know a lot, this place may have been a stone mountain before! Just in front of the stone well, there is a big stone rock that is the only one that does not look like a mushroom, which is obviously the remaining part of the stone mountain!"

Both Hongxing and Poplar looked at Ding Lingling with admiration, but Tie Niu asked another question: "But if it was a stone mountain in the past, it gradually formed a wind channel, and the wind blew along the wind channel, and it should also form a series of grooves, right?

"This, but I really want to ask God!" Ding Lingling had no choice but to reply.

Chen Dalin smiled and said, "What Miss Ding said is right, if you really want to know the answer, I'm afraid you can only ask God!"

Everyone else laughed, and Tie Niu scratched his scalp and laughed as well.

Ding Lingling thought of a more realistic question, so she said to Chen Dalin: "It's already quite cold in the desert at night, and the wind here is so strong, will it be even colder?"

"It doesn't matter!" Chen Dalin immediately shook his head, "I just said that there is a large piece of stone rock next to that stone well, let's stay under the stone rock, don't talk about this kind of small wind, the strong wind can't blow on your body!"

Ding Lingling was relieved, and the others didn't say much, just watched the large and small stone mushrooms along the road.

After walking among the stone mushrooms for half an hour, watching the sky get darker, I finally saw a large stone rock in front of me.

The people got out of the camels, and before it was dark, they untied the buckets and ropes from the camels. Iron Bull volunteered to fetch water, and Poplar followed him, and also leaned over to the wellhead to look down.

I felt a cool air coming from the well, which lifted the spirits of the two people.

The well in the desert is naturally much deeper than in the plains, and the depth of the well is at least fifteen meters or more.

The wellhead is smooth and wide, but about ten meters down, there is a large stone protruding.

It is estimated that when the well was dug back then, it was found that this stone was too big and too hard, but it had been dug so deep that the well diggers were unwilling to give up their efforts, so they could only go around this big stone and continue to dig down.

And to carry the water, you must also avoid this big rock.

Tie Niu stood on the opposite side of the big rock, slowly lowered the bucket, and heard the sound of water below, it seemed that the well water was quite full.

The Iron Ox swung the rope twice, causing the bucket to sink naturally into the water and filled the bucket with a full bucket of water, and then slowly put away the rope and lifted the bucket up.

Poplar stood beside the Iron Ox, and was surprised to see a little light flickering in the bucket as it passed over the large protruding stone below.

Turning his face to look at the Iron Bull, the Iron Bull didn't seem to be aware of it.

Poplar couldn't help but think, could it be that he was dazzled by the wrong one?

Or did he see the vision again?

If he had seen a vision, could it be that there was also a large tomb in this well?

Poplar looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had set, and the moon's rays had not yet appeared.

In other words, the faint flash just now could not have been the light from the sky projected into the well.

The others gathered around Tie Niu to drink the bucket of water they had just brought up, and they all praised the cold and refreshing water that quenched their thirst.

Taking advantage of this time, Poplar simply went to the wellhead to look down, and faintly saw the water surface rippling lightly, and did not see any special flash.

"What's wrong?" Ding Lingling walked over to him and asked.

"I just saw ...... below"

Before Poplar finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sound in his ears.

"What do you see?" Ding Lingling asked again, and also leaned down to the wellhead to look down.

"I just heard a voice down there, did you hear that?" asked Poplar rhetorically.

Ding Lingling listened carefully and shook her head.

Poplar listened intently to himself, and there was no movement either.

The two of them were talking at the mouth of the well, and soon attracted the attention of the others.

Chen Xiaopang first asked, "What are you two doing at the mouth of the well?"

Ding Lingling shook her head, just looked at Bai Yang, waiting for his answer.

Bai Yang thought for a moment and said, "I always feel that there is something in this well!

Tie Niu also glanced into the well and said, "I don't see anything in the well except this big stone!"

"Hang me down and see!" said Poplar.

The iron bull didn't ask any more questions, and first tied it to the waist of the poplar with a rope.

Ding Lingling took advantage of this time to find a flashlight and hand it to Poplar.

Poplar smiled and tucked the flashlight into his trouser pocket.

After that, Poplar jumped into the well, and Chen Xiaopang also came over to help, and slowly hung Poplar down with Tie Niu.

Poplar grasped the rope in both hands as he turned his head to look at the surrounding walls.

At this time, it was not completely dark, and although the light in the well was dim, it was not impossible to see clearly.

When his feet rested on the big protruding rock, Poplar tried it and felt that the big stone was very firm, so he stood on the big stone and shook his hand towards it, signaling that there was no need to put no more ropes on it.

But the Iron Bull was afraid that the stone would not be able to support his weight, so he still held the rope tightly in his hand.

After that, Poplar took out a flashlight, stood on the slippery big rock, and shone it up and down the wall of the well, and soon found that there was a round hole opposite the big stone.

Because the outer edge of the hole is flat, it cannot be seen from the top of the well.

"There's a hole here, but you can't see what's in it when you stand on this rock, hang me down a little longer!" shouted Poplar to the top of the well.

"There is a snake in my heart! The desert snake is the most venomous, you should be careful of being bitten by a snake!" Ding Lingling shouted above.

"This hole is quite big, it doesn't look like a snake cave! Don't worry, I'll be careful!"

Poplar shouted as he jumped off the big rock.

Tie Niu and Chen Xiaopang also moved their positions to prevent the rope from wearing on the big stone.

Because of Ding Lingling's warning, Bai Yang was actually very nervous in his heart.

He simply put the flashlight back into his trouser pocket, grasped the rope in one hand to stabilize his body, and reached for the dagger with the other. As long as something suddenly popped out of that hole, he would swing a knife regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one.

Fortunately, nothing came out of the cave, but there were two golden points of light that flashed in the darkness.

But it was too dark to see what was inside.

Poplar could only stick the dagger back into his waist, take a flashlight from his trouser pocket, and shine a picture of the hole far away.

He didn't dare to project the pillar of light directly into the cave, lest he startle something in the cave and suddenly burst out of it.

He slowly shone the pillar of light along the cave wall, but suddenly found that there was a big eagle squatting in the cave.

The eagle was pitch black, but its pointed beak and eyes were golden.

Especially those eyes, which are golden and extremely beautiful.

But because it was crouching on the ground, its two paws were covered by feathers, and the color of its claws could not be seen. But with this golden beak and eyes, it has already surprised and delighted the poplar.

It's a pity that those extremely beautiful golden eyes are staring at Poplar with great ferocity at this moment, so frightened that Poplar's hand shakes, and he subconsciously immediately turns off the flashlight.

The cave was plunged into darkness again, and only the two golden eyes remained, still glowing faintly.

"What's down there, why did you turn off the flashlight?" Ding Lingling shouted from above again.

Poplar raised his hand to the sky, turned on the flashlight and shook it, indicating that he was safe, and told the people above to be calm.

Then he turned off his flashlight again, staring at the two golden dots of light in the darkness.

His eyes were adjusting to the darkness, and he could vaguely see the outline of the eagle's body.

The eagle is so big that its wings are spread at least one and a half meters.

But this well is so deep, and the widest part of the wellhead is only one meter two or three, this eagle can hide into a stone cave in the deep well, of course, because there is a big stone opposite the stone cave for it to stop and turn, but if you change to an ordinary eagle, I am afraid that there is absolutely no such ability.

Therefore, Poplar did not dare to approach the entrance of the cave immediately, so as not to make the Golden Pupil Condor mistakenly think that he had malicious intentions.

With the mighty agility of the Golden Pupil Divine Condor, even in this narrow well, once he attacks him, he may not be able to parry.

But he thought that all animals with spirituality can basically understand human nature, just like the iron-mouthed phoenix of the old man Feng Xiang.

So he stared at the eyes of the Golden Pupil Condor in the darkness from a distance, tried to be as gentle as possible, and said, "Is it the Golden Pupil Condor inside? I have no malicious intent, if you don't want me to disturb you, I will leave immediately!"

He himself felt a little funny, how could anyone speak so softly at an eagle.

But perhaps his gentleness did work, and he heard a low chirp from the cave, the same one he had heard at the mouth of the well.

And this kind of tweeting, at least the poplar doesn't feel like a deterrent, but like a plea for help.
