Bai Yang understood what Hongxing meant, and calmed down at this time, he already knew very well that the Iron Bull must have no bones left if he fell from such a high place. But if you don't go down, you won't be reconciled after all.

So he was about to nod in agreement, but Chu Changjiang nodded first, and said: "Yes, yes, let's go down and find out!" No matter what, we have come over all kinds of dangers, and we can't just miss this last step!"

Ding Lingling glanced at Bai Yang, knowing what Bai Yang was thinking, so she turned her head to look at Chen Xiaopang again.

"I don't care, anyway...... Just left, even I was very unwilling!" Chen Xiaopang said.

"Then let's go down! Brother Xiaopanty, you are more experienced, or you go ahead, Baiyang, you and my palace!" Ding Lingling said.

Something like this should have been arranged by Bai Yang, but Ding Lingling was afraid that Bai Yang would be impulsive when he walked in front and would jump down to find the iron bull, so she crossed her mouth to assign it.

Everyone else has no opinion.

However, due to the narrowness of the passage, a few people walked to the stone cave of the Celestial Elephant King below, and then rearranged the order.

Chen Xiaopang walked in the front, followed by Chu Changjiang, followed by Hongxing. Ding Lingling and Poplar walked last.

A group of five people went down the passage on the stone wall, and the entire grotto was not damaged except for the top of the stone rock where the Heavenly Elephant King, Master Ao Jian, and King Cheng were placed.

Those hanging torches are still inserted on the surrounding stone walls, shining and radiating flame-like light, illuminating the entire grotto half-light and half-dark, and even more profound.

It's a pity that not long after passing the stone cave of King Chengda, the passage gradually narrowed, and finally turned into a deep scar and disappeared into the stone wall.

Looking down, the bottom is still black and unfathomable, and even if you turn on the flashlight and shine down, you can't see the bottom.

Hongxing couldn't help sobbing again, but Poplar still didn't give up, and summoned the Golden Pupil Condor to let it fly down for a while.

The Golden Pupil Condor understood what he said, and did fly down for a while, but soon came back up, and Poplar couldn't help but ask what would happen down to it, and had the heart to let it bring something down, if the Iron Bull was still alive - of course this could only be his fantasy - the Iron Bull should bring him something up as well.

It's a pity that the Golden Pupil Condor refuses to fly down again, as if there is something below that scares it.

Poplar had no choice but to follow everyone back to the stone cave of King Cheng, and stood stunned in the stone cave for a long time, Ding Lingling had to urge softly, and Poplar took steps as heavy as a thousand catties, and followed everyone step by step along the passage up.

Before reaching the top, the passage narrowed as well, and finally disappeared into a deep scar on the stone wall.

The golden-eyed condor spread its wings and flew high, and I don't know where it got out. But the group did not have wings, and they could not leave along the passage where the Golden Pupil Condor flew out.

Poplar was trying to retrieve the Golden Pupil Condor and find a way to get it out with a rope, but the two jade hummingbirds chirped forward and burrowed between the rock walls.

Poplar asked Chen Xiaopang to hold his hand, leaned over to look ahead, and suddenly found that there was a sloping hole on the rock wall in front of him.

It's just that the entrance to the cave is very cleverly designed, and it happens to be almost a meter away from the top of the passage, and if it weren't for the two jade hummingbirds that got into it, although it was close at hand, it would have been difficult for people to find it.

Poplar hurriedly and carefully grabbed the edge of the stone cave with his hand, and slowly moved his body into it.

The two girls who followed the red apricot Ding Lingling were light and light, and they were gently pulled by the poplar, and they also entered the oblique hole.

On the contrary, Chen Xiaopang and Chu Changjiang are fatter and the other is older, but after all, they have both practiced kung fu, and in the end, with the help of Baiyang, they also got into the oblique hole without danger.

Several people followed the two jade hummingbirds and descended a narrow artificial passage into a natural stone cave.

The stone cave is long and narrow, just like the previous artificial passage, a few people bent down and bowed their heads for more than ten minutes, and when the stone cave gradually became spacious, you can see the top of the stone cave faintly bright light.

A few people cheered up, and soon got out of the cave, and suddenly found that they were in a valley.

The round moon hung high in the sky, reflecting the whole valley in a psychedelic haze.

Looking up, there are all craggy rocks, and if it weren't for the jade hummingbird leading the way, you wouldn't be able to find this place anyway.

The eagle roared clearly in the sky, and the golden-eyed eagle had already discovered their traces in the blink of an eye, and it was hovering and flying above the heads of several people.

The jade hummingbird rested back on Ding Lingling's shoulder, and several people followed the golden pupil eagle through the stone forest, and then around a mountain bend, and then looked forward, they had already entered the black desert.

They were now at the foot of the black stone mountain thousands of meters behind the tomb, and it was almost ten o'clock in the evening because of the delay in the underground palace for seven or eight hours.

Several people walked to the place where the camels were tied, and Poplar felt exhausted and sat down directly on the ground.

It's not that his body can't support it, but his heart has reached the point where it is about to collapse.

Hongxing also sat softly on the ground, buried a face in her knees and quietly sobbed.

The others were also uncomfortable, and no one could find a suitable word to comfort them.

That night, I rested on the top of the tomb for a night, at least in the hearts of Poplar and Red Apricot, faintly looking forward to a miracle.

But the miracle did not happen, and when he woke up the next morning, Iron Bull and Max did not return.

Poplar wanted to stay here for a few more days, because if he left, it would mean that his good brother would never return.

But he is the team leader, and he must consider the safety of others, and in the end he can only set off with everyone.

Hongxing inevitably cried again, and Baiyang actually wanted to cry loudly in his heart, but he was a man, and if he wanted to cry, he had to carry someone behind his back.

None of them wanted to speak, and they kept walking in silence.

And in the next three days, there was still less time to talk and more time to be silent.

Fortunately, the Golden Pupil Condor led the way, and there was no unusual situation, and the group of five people passed through the desert safely and returned to Chen Dalin's house.

Chen Dalin's family heard that Chen Dalin died in the black desert, but there were not too many accidents, in their words, the old man always did not listen to people's persuasion, and sooner or later he would die in the desert.

Of course, having said that, the family still inevitably cried sadly.

Chu Changjiang didn't have a lot of cash with him, so he could only promise that after arriving in Dunhuang, he would leave 100,000 yuan to the Ma family in Dunhuang as Chen Dalin's bereavement payment, which would be transferred by the Ma family to the Chen family.

At that time, 100,000 yuan was a huge amount of money, and the Chen family was sad, but they were also secretly happy.

The off-road vehicle and pickup truck were still parked at Chen's house, but there were only seven people when they came, and only five people left when they returned.

Fortunately, Ding Lingling and Hongxing can drive, so Chu Changjiang can only drive a pickup truck, Ding Lingling drives an off-road vehicle, and the group returns to Dunhuang.

Ma Daocheng and the others were naturally very happy when they saw them return safely, but when they saw that Max and Tie Niu were missing, they could not help but sigh melancholy.

stayed in Dunhuang for one night that night, and Ding Lingling called Ding Sicheng to make a report.

This was supposed to be Poplar's job, but the death of the Iron Bull hit Poplar too hard, and he didn't even bother to talk to anyone.

The blow to the red apricot was not small, so much so that the next day, the red apricot actually got sick.

It happened that Ding Sicheng asked a few of them to recuperate in Dunhuang for a few days, waiting for his follow-up arrangements. So the group of four stopped in Dunhuang, and only Chu Changjiang bought a ticket and left first.

Although Poplar was not sick, he lay down in the hotel every day. If it weren't for Ding Lingling's care, he wouldn't even be bothered to eat three meals a day.

Ding Lingling knew that he was uncomfortable, and in addition to accompanying Hongxing every day, she stayed by his side, but she only talked to him about the past and the present, but never mentioned the name of Tie Niu.

Seeing that a few days had passed, Bai Yang and Hong Xing couldn't help but gradually accept the fact that Tie Niu had left, but on this day, several people were dining in the hotel, Ma Bingxiao hurried in, and shouted when he saw a few of them.

"Joyful event! Oh my God, this is an unimaginable event!"

His words were so unimaginable that all the diners in the restaurant looked at him in amazement.

Bai Yang was already panicked in his heart, and when he saw Ma Bingxiao's face excited, he simply stood up and wanted to leave, so as not to hear Ma Bingxiao's happy event, which would make him feel even more uncomfortable.

But he didn't expect Ma Bingxiao to rush directly towards him, grabbed Bai Yang's arm, and still shouted and said: "Lao Bai, you see this is strange! Just now, Uncle Ding called and told you to rush to Aksai County immediately, saying that it was a herdsman near Xiaosugan Lake, and two people were fished out of the lake, one of whom was a foreigner. The other has a work permit on him, saying that his name is Tie Xiangyang......"

He couldn't finish his sentence, because Poplar jumped up and knocked over the chair behind him with a "bang".

But where did Bai Yang care so much, he just reached out and grabbed Ma Bingxiao's arm.

"What are you talking about? Tie Xiangyang? That's Tie Niu's real name, where are they now, what the hell...... Is it dead or alive?"

"Of course they are alive, otherwise how dare I say that it is a happy event? But they are still unconscious, Uncle Ding asked you to rush over as soon as possible to see if it is really Tie Niu and Max!"

Everyone looked at each other, Hongxing cried out with a "wow", and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands.

Poplar's brain was in confusion due to ecstasy, and he only asked, "You just said...... Where's that?"

"In Aksai County, there are two Sugan Lake, one large and one small, and the Iron Bull was found in the small Sugan Lake!" Ma Bingxiao replied.

"Xiao Sugan Lake?" Bai Yang couldn't think at all, so he could only look back at Ding Lingling.

Ding Lingling nodded at him and said, "Xiaosu Dry Lake shouldn't be too far from Dunhuang!"

"It's not far at all, you can drive back and forth in a day!" Ma Bingxiao hurriedly said.

"But...... Sugan Lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the Black Desert, how can it be ......?" Chen Xiaopang muttered.

"Nothing is impossible!" Ding Lingling immediately said, "Don't forget that we have been transferred hundreds of kilometers away!"

"That's good!" Hongxing cried with joy, tears flowing, "Let's go and see......! No, it's definitely Iron Bull!"

"Yes, it must be the Iron Bull They!" Poplar also burst into tears, and hurriedly waved his hand in disguise, "Let's go immediately, soldier, or you help us lead the way!"

Ma Bingxiao nodded immediately without hesitation.

A few people didn't have the heart to eat, so they immediately settled the bill and prepared to leave.

An hour later, the two cars were already on the road heading southwest.
