Volume 2 Sand Sea Dragon's Lair Chapter 150 Sandstorm Aftermath

Bai Yang is actually very worried that Chen Dalin is old, and if there is a good one, it will be a big trouble.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to dissuade Chen Dalin, Chen Dalin continued Tie Niu's words and said: "Although I am old, I have more experience than you! And listening to the rumors outside, the strongest period should have passed, so don't worry about me!"

Tie Niu and Chen Xiaopang didn't say much, but just focused on Bai Yang.

Bai Yang thought about it for a while and said: "Then why don't Lao Hei and the little fat brother go out with the old man! Remember safety first, don't let yourself not get in for the sake of a backpack!"

Tie Niu smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're not that stupid!"

As he spoke, he was already the first to lie at the entrance of the cave, and when he went out to take a look, he shrank his head back and said, "The wind is still very strong, and I still can't see anything! But it is indeed a little smaller than before, let's go out for a turn, there should be no danger!"

"Would you like to bring a flashlight?" asked Poplar.

"There's no need for this! After all, it's still broad daylight, and although the wind and sand are too big to see clearly, it's not pitch black!" Tie Niu said, and raised his hand towards Chen Dalin again, "Old man, then I'll climb out first!"

"Don't run around after you go out, wait for me to go out and then act!" Chen Dalin hurriedly ordered.

Iron Bull nodded and climbed out of the cave first.

Chen Dalin followed. Chen Xiaopang followed last.

Bai Yang and the others took two flashlights and began to search carefully in the house to see if there were any traces of desert scorpions.

But there was also a layer of sand buried in the room, and judging by the softness of the feet, the thickness of the sand was not low.

And such a soft sandy soil, even if there is a scorpion nest, if they are trampled on like this, I am afraid that it will have collapsed, but no scorpion has escaped from under the ground.

From this, it can be determined that the scorpion nest is only in the part of the ruined wall that has collapsed, if it is not elsewhere.

Of course, it was impossible for them to move the beams that held up this space and continue to search, so they could only try to stay as far away as possible from a few beams to avoid being bitten by the desert scorpion that suddenly jumped out and bitten.

Max suddenly opened his mouth and said a word, and several people couldn't understand it, so they could only look at Chu Changjiang beside him.

Chu Changjiang said with a wry smile: "He said that the corpses in the desert will all turn into dried corpses, why are these dead people rotten into skeletons!"

Chu Changjiang was just translating for others, and he didn't need to seek answers.

So without waiting for the others to answer, he said to Max in English: "The few dried corpses we saw in the desert before were all naked in the sun, and because the water in the body was quickly evaporated, they became dried corpses. But these corpses are hidden in this house, the sun can't shine in at all, and the moisture in the body naturally can't be dissipated so quickly, so it will only rot, and it is impossible to turn into dried corpses!"

His explanation made Max laugh and scratch his scalp, probably realizing that the question was naïve.

Poplar was concerned about the three people who had just gone out, and was about to take a look outside the cave, Chen Dalin took the lead in getting into the hole, and his head was covered with yellow sand.

Bai Yang and the others hurriedly pulled him up, and then looked at the entrance of the cave, first stuffed in a few backpacks and water bags, and then the iron bull Chen Xiaopang also climbed in.

Because all three of them had sandy faces, and the others could not speak immediately, even if they were full of questions.

After the three of them patted off the sand on their heads and bodies, and picked up the water bag to rinse their mouths and pour a few mouthfuls of water, Poplar asked how the situation was outside.

Chen Dalin said: "A few camels are fine, most of the luggage is still there, only one camel ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Max suddenly screamed.

Ding Lingling opened her mouth to help him translate, and said, "He didn't find his backpack, so he asked the old man why other people's backpacks were brought in, but he didn't bring his backpack in!"

Chen Dalin sighed and said, "You told him that there was a camel that had all its luggage blown away, and it might be the camel he was riding!"

Ding Lingling told Max truthfully. Max was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, estimating that there were any valuables in his backpack.

Poplar asked again if the wind was lighter, and Chen Dalin said: "It's really smaller, it is estimated that in two or three hours, this storm will be over!"

"That's good!" Poplar finally smiled a little, "those two desert scorpions crawled over from nowhere, and they made people scared, so the wind stopped early, let's get out of this house quickly!"

"In addition to our camels, there are also many wild beasts hiding outside, including wolves, and a few wild goats!" Iron Bull hurriedly answered, "We went to the front, and those wild goats were lying on the ground and did not move! I said to take the opportunity to slaughter two, and when the wind stopped roasting and eating, the old man stopped me from slaughtering them!"

"I can't kill it!" Chen Dalin said, "It's windy outside, I can't explain it to you, you must know that these beasts are also like us humans, they came here to escape this storm, and now the yellow sheep and sand wolves are all huddled together, but do you see if they are fighting each other? So if you really want to slaughter two of them, you'll have to wait until the wind stops!"

"When the wind stops, these beasts will run away immediately, where can they still be beaten!" Tie Niu smiled bitterly and scratched his scalp, "But the old man's lesson is that those yellow sheep and sand wolves are quite pitiful, I shouldn't still think about slaughtering them at this time!"

Chen Dalin nodded and smiled, and then said: "Take advantage of this time, let's bury these skeletons! First, it is regarded as a good deed, and second, having these skeletons on the face also makes people feel cautious!"

Bai Yang nodded and said, "The old man is right! Anyway, the nest of the desert scorpion has not been found, so we don't even dare to sit down and rest, so we just do good deeds!"

"I knew we should have unloaded two shovels and brought them in when we went out just now!" said Iron Bull.

"Anyway, it's sandy land, just dig the pit by hand! But it's best to wear gloves, and be careful when digging sand, there are poisonous reptiles hidden in the sand of the embankment!"

Poplar said as he opened his backpack and took out his gloves and put them on.

Everyone else wore gloves as well.

But because the space in the room was not very spacious, I had to dig a big hole along the corner of the wall on one side, and prepared to bury all the skeletons together.

In this way, the pit will be dug deeper.

As a result, it was planed into the ground paved with green bricks below.

Presumably, after the collapse of this ancient castle, it was difficult for the sand to float in directly, so after thousands of years, the ground was only covered with more than a meter of yellow sand.

Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang were very interested in the green bricks underground, so they simply threw a few skeletons into the pit, and the two brothers and sisters squatted directly in the sand pit and carefully inspected the green bricks on the ground, as if the old green bricks were all made of gold.

And the two of them soon made a discovery, Chen Xiaopang took out a knife, pried up two blue bricks, and suddenly found that under the green bricks, there was another layer of bluestone slabs.

"It seems that there is a cellar down here!" Ding Lingling said.

When the others heard her say this, they also wanted to go down to the pit to see.

But it was just a sand pit, and as soon as a few people stepped on the periphery, the sand immediately slipped down again, not only those few green bricks, but even Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang's feet were covered by yellow sand.

Poplar hurriedly told everyone to retreat. Chen Xiaopang stood up and said, "Why don't we go out and bring the tools in, pry open the bluestone slab and see what's in the cellar!"

"The problem is that a few of the beams are barely holding up, and it would be too dangerous to pry open the bluestone slabs and let a few of them move!" said Poplar.

Chen Xiaopang disagreed, and said: "Let's go into the desert to find the ruins of the ancient city, and the ruins of an ancient city like this have a history of at least thousands of years, where will there be anything that is not dangerous? Otherwise, after the wind stops for a while, everyone else will withdraw, and I will pry the bluestone slab open to see!"

It may seem like a bit negative for him to say this, but it can't be said that it doesn't make sense.

As the leader of the group, Poplar has to ensure the safety of everyone, and he can't see the monuments and not explore them because of the danger.

It's just that life is its own, and Poplar can't make ideas for others, so he can only turn his face to look at others and ask, "What do you think?"

"I have no opinion!" Tie Niu was the first to say, "Anyway, I will be where you let me be, and all actions will be under command!"

This made everyone else laugh.

"If there's a cellar down there, I'd love to go down and see it!" said Hongxing.

Bai Yang nodded and said, "Since everyone said so, then after the wind stops, the old man will take Boss Chu and Max to the outside, and a few of us will pry open this bluestone slab to see if there is a cellar below!"

"I'm not going out!" Unexpectedly, Chu Changjiang immediately shook his head, "Xiao Chen is right, we have worked hard to get into the desert, and if we encounter some danger, we will hide out first, so why should I come in?"

"But Boss Chu is a foreign guest after all, in case something goes wrong, we really can't afford it!" Bai Yang said.

"Don't worry! I don't know how dangerous it is to go into the desert? So I've already arranged everything, and if something happens, I won't hold you responsible!"

When Chu Changjiang said this, without waiting for Baiyang to speak again, he directly turned around and said a few words to Max in English.

But he quickly turned around and said to Poplar, "I asked Max to go out, but he refused, saying that he would follow me closely!"
