At that time, the sky was full of red clouds, reflecting the boundless Gobi Desert, which had a dizzying desolation, atmosphere, and magnificence.

A few people slowed down and watched carefully, and couldn't help but admire the mystery and magic of nature, but it is this barren land that will have such a beautiful scenery that is difficult to see in other places.

At that time, he changed to an iron bull and rode a motorcycle below, and Ma Bingxiao drove a jeep in front. Ding Lingling directly said the feelings in her heart, but she didn't expect Ma Bingxiao to laugh and say: "This can't be regarded as a barren land, not far ahead, there is a poplar forest!"

Hong Xing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked far away, and quickly shouted: "Yes, yes, there is really a forest in front of you! I didn't expect that there would be a forest on this Gobi Desert!"

"The poplar tree has a strong ability to resist wind and sand, drought, and salinity, and is the tree of life in the desert! It is said that it 'lives without dying for a thousand years, dies without falling for a thousand years, and dies without dying for a thousand years', and the extremely precious petrified wood in the desert is basically made of poplar trees!" Ding Lingling said.

Ma Bingxiao nodded and said, "When we get to that poplar forest, it's almost dark, should we continue to hurry, or rest in the poplar forest for one night and leave tomorrow morning?"

"If I travel overnight, how long will it take to get there?" asked Poplar.

"It won't be until after twelve o'clock, but it's dark here, and it won't get dark until after nine o'clock. Ma Bingxiao replied.

"I'd better ask Boss Chu's opinion!" Bai Yang said.

Among the equipment brought by Chu Changjiang this time, there are several new-style walkie-talkies, and in this open and barrier-free environment, the call distance can reach several kilometers.

So Bai Yang turned on the walkie-talkie, and after asking Chu Changjiang, Chu Changjiang said: "Let's wait until we get to the poplar forest to see the situation!"

Poplar naturally has no opinion.

It didn't look far from the poplar, but it took about an hour to get there.

The sun had completely sunk, and only a small patch of sunset remained, still hanging in the sky.

Ma Bingxiao drove a jeep in front, interspersed along a fairly wide gravel road between the poplar forests, and didn't want to go far, when he suddenly braked urgently.

Bai Yang hurriedly asked what was wrong, Ma Bingxiao said: "Something is wrong, there is a big tree trunk in front of me, I'm afraid someone did it on purpose!"

Poplar immediately became nervous, immediately took out the walkie-talkie, and just let the people behind be cautious, he heard a whistle in his ears, followed by the sound of horses' hooves, more than a dozen figures galloped out of the poplar forest, and instantly surrounded two cars and a motorcycle in the middle.

"It seems that I really encountered a desert bandit!" Ding Lingling said.

"I've heard of the Desert Bandits, but what age is this, why do these people dare to do this?"

The two girls were not weak in kung fu, and this time they were well-equipped, and the other party was not a few more people than them, so the two of them talked casually, without showing the slightest nervousness and fear.

"This is a vast and sparsely populated area, and it will be difficult for the police to exterminate them, which is probably why they are still doing this!" Bai Yang said, as he pushed the door and got out of the car.

Ding Lingling hurriedly said: "Be careful that someone will hide in the dark and put a cold gun!"

"I know, but someone has to come forward to ask them!" Bai Yang said, smiling at Ding Lingling, but still opened the car door and walked out.

At this time, it was not yet completely dark, and Poplar looked at the group of people around them a little, and found that they were all covered in wind and dust, and at first glance, they often haunted the desert, and they had not changed their clothes for a long time.

But they all covered their faces with black cloths, and only their foreheads and eyes were exposed, so they could not see their true faces.

The only one on the head was uncovered, but he wore a pair of large, dark brown glasses, and it was difficult to recognize who he was if he took off the glasses.

"You guys stop the way, I don't know what you want to do?" Bai Yang asked, neither humble nor arrogant.

The pair of eyes in the lead with glasses looked at Poplar through the lenses, and asked with a smile: "Look at your young age, you are actually a leader?"

Before Poplar could reply, Tie Niu stepped forward from behind, took off his helmet, and said with a smile: "He is our leader, how?"

The man turned his face, glanced at Tie Niu, and said with a sneer: "You kid is quite a dick!"

"Don't you dick, right? At least I didn't stand in the way of others, right?" Iron Bull fought back.

The man's brows furrowed, and a person next to him lowered his voice and said, "Boss, why bother talking nonsense with them, just grab it!"

Although his voice was low, it could be heard clearly by Poplar Iron Bull.

Poplar smiled and said, "What are you going to rob?"

"What do you think we're robbing?" the man once again focused on Poplar, "The two boys are very calm, it seems that they have experienced some storms! But you came to the Gobi Desert in such a beautiful car, didn't you inquire in advance whose world this territory is?"

"Whose world is it, isn't this the world of Great China? Is it still the same as before the liberation, the warlords are divided and their own affairs?" Tie Niu laughed and grabbed the words again.

The man's face sank and he said, "It seems that you two boys don't want to talk well!"

Bai Yang hurriedly spoke, and said: "We are a regular archaeological team, and we should be able to go anywhere in China! So please give way and don't delay our time!"

"The archaeological team?" the man glanced at the two cars with a pair of eyes, and sneered again, "When did the archaeological team be equipped with such good equipment, and it was a professional inverted fight, right?"

"Even if a professional fighter has the money, can he buy such good equipment? Even if he can, does he dare to be so blatant?" Bai Yang asked rhetorically, always maintaining a calm posture.

The man nodded and said, "Yes! The professional inverted people don't dare to buy such good equipment, so it really makes me red-eyed! But I don't know if the comrades of the archaeological team came to this Gobi Desert to find the Black Desert Celestial Elephant Country?"

Poplar didn't expect him to mention the "Black Desert Celestial Elephant Country" as soon as he opened his mouth, so he smiled faintly and said, "It seems that there are not a few people who have passed through here to find the Black Desert Celestial Elephant Country over the years!" Poplar smiled faintly.

"Yes, it's true that there are not a few, but it's a pity that only those who go, not back, so ......" he dragged out his voice, and suddenly smiled, "Since you are going to go into the desert to die, I think it is better to leave these dazzling equipment to us first! Don't worry, we only seek wealth and do not hurt people, as long as you leave the equipment, we will leave you with sufficient dry food and water, whether you want to go back or continue to walk into the desert, it's up to you!"

He showed a tone that was easy to talk and discuss, which made Poplar cry and laugh.

Ma Bingxiao suddenly pushed the car door and poked his head out, and said, "We are going to Ruoxuan Village to find Old Man Chen Dalin, you should know Chen Dalin, right?"

"Oh?" the man turned his eyes and glanced at Ma Bingxiao, "Yes, Old Man Chen is famous, how can we not know each other?" But this place is far away from Ruoxuan Village, with Old Man Chen's face, we can't let us see such a big deal, but we can easily let it go!"

Bai Yang smiled, deliberately glanced around, and said, "But you are just a few people, you want us to leave things obediently?"

"It's not!" Tie Niu laughed closely, "I advise you to go back and forth from where you are, I think you must be losing money on this big deal today!"

"Really, two boys are crazy enough!" the man held his glasses in one hand and lowered his face to look into the jeep, "I see there's a girl in the jeep, you can be sure that we can't help you?"

"You can try it, but I think it'll be too late to regret it if you die and hurt someone later!" said Poplar, the smile on his face not diminished.

"Boss, let's stop talking nonsense with these two boys, right?" the man next to the man couldn't help but interject again.

The leader was about to nod his head when he heard a clear chirp in his ears.

Poplar was so wary of the leader that he didn't dare to be distracted by what birds were chirping.

I didn't want the leading man to change his face and said, "This thief bird, come to make trouble again!"

Poplar couldn't help but look up, but saw a big eagle in the air, hovering above everyone's heads, refusing to fly far.

Bai Yang was thinking about what the leading man's words "come to make trouble again" meant, could it be that this big eagle still has a grudge against this leading man?

Suddenly, I heard the leading man shouting and ordering: "Brothers, these two boys don't know what to do, so let's do it directly!"

The group of people echoed in unison, and two of them, shaking the reins of their horses, took the lead in rushing towards the iron bull and the poplar.

Tie Niu smiled, pulled out a pistol pinned to his waist and was about to shoot, but he didn't want to "snap" twice, someone shot in front of him.

Poplar Fang was taken aback, followed by the mournful roar of the horse, and the two horses that were rushing towards the Poplar Iron Bull threw themselves forward and fell to the ground at the same time, throwing both of them off the horse.

The two men were very good, and each rolled to his feet.

I only heard someone behind me shouting: "We don't want to hurt people's lives, so let's leave quickly!"

It was Chen Xiaopang who listened to the talk, but Chen Xiaopang didn't know how to use a gun, so it could only be Chu Changjiang or Mai Si who shot just now.

"Your archaeological team actually has guns?" the leading man looked cold, and asked word by word.

"Not only guns, but the latest American goods!"

Tie Niu smiled and shook the shiny pistol in his hand.

But before he could finish speaking, there were two more "pops", accompanied by the sound of "flutter tom" and the neighing of horses, and someone fell off the horse.

"It's best not to act rashly! Just rely on the few broken shotguns in your hands, before they can be aimed, we will destroy them first!"

Someone sneered and spoke, his voice was cold and majestic, and suddenly it was Chu Changjiang who was speaking.

When Bai Yang looked back in surprise and joy, he found that it was actually two men blocking the back of the pickup truck who fell to the ground and screamed.

And the horses on which the two of them were frightened, and had spread their hooves and ran away quickly.

Seeing that the door of the pickup truck was not opened, I don't know where Chu Changjiang or Max shot and injured these two people.
