The camel walked very steadily and did not feel the bumps.
Chen Rui opened the laptop.

After watching the movie.
Chen Rui deliberately went to check some information.
Egypt in 1719 BC belonged to the Fifteenth Dynasty of Egypt.
The Scorpion King is considered one of the ancestors of Egyptian civilization. This king first appeared on the 'Narmer Slate'. On this stone tablet is carved the king of Egypt. He wears the white crown of Upper Egypt and the red crown of Lower Egypt, which represents his unification of the two kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt, and the extraordinary achievements of the king, who has been regarded as a mythical figure for 5,000 years.
The Scorpion King in the history of Egypt is considered a mystery, the country of the Scorpion King, the ancient city, the brilliant achievements created by the Scorpion King, and the countless treasures of the Scorpion King. and the mysterious power of the Scorpion King, buried in the long sands of the Sahara Desert.
Chen Rui rode a camel in the desert.
Hot days alternate with cold nights.
The desert was a patch of yellow sand, lifeless, and its eyes had lost all other colors, only a vast patch of yellow, and it had lost its direction, and it could not distinguish between east and west, and could only move forward to the south of Egypt by navigator.
Two days ago, Chen Rui had just passed through Egypt's cities in the Sahara Desert, Baiveti and Hara.
On the fourteenth day in the desert, Chen Rui met a desert people. This ethnic group lives in a village, about 400 to 500 people. At first, they were a little hostile and wary of Chen Rui's arrival, but after Chen Rui sent them a bunch of gifts and food, their hostility towards Chen Rui was slightly reduced, and Chen Rui was allowed to enter their village, willing to talk to Chen Rui with gestures.
After Chen Rui got along with them for a few days, their hostility towards Chen Rui was gone, and they became very enthusiastic.
By using simple gestures and voice conversations, Chen Rui has some understanding of this desert people.
They call themselves the Garamantes (accent), their ancestors come from a remote part of the desert west, and combined with the village's "fossil water" extraction system, Chen Rui has basically guessed their origins.
They were the Garamantes, the Galamantes were at their most glorious in the 5th century BC, the Garamants had a large population, they raised livestock, rode horse-drawn chariots to catch the "troglodyte Ethiopians", the Garamants were skilled farmers, resourceful engineers and ambitious merchants, they owned eight large towns, and they also controlled many small states, creating a splendid civilization.
The secret of the Garamantes in the arid desert is the 'fossil water' extraction system, that is, the desert underground water supply pipe system, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Garamane Kingdom, the Garamane Kingdom has a much higher standard of living than other ancient societies in the Sahara,,, in the desert, the Garamantes can enjoy the grapes, figs, barley, wheat, as well as imported wine, olive oil and other luxuries.
The reduction of the 'fossil water' ringed the bell for the Kingdom of Garamante, a prosperous and wealthy desert kingdom that eventually weakened and eventually became a legend and memory, where I did not expect to meet the descendants of the Garamantes.
The Garamatans inherited the secret of desert survival from their glorious ancestors,' Fossil water's pumping system and mastered the technology of groundwater extraction and irrigation, although there is no lake next to it, water source, as far as the eye can see, a piece of yellow sand, desolate and lonely, but the Garamantes still live in this desert, a desolate desert is transformed into an oasis by them, lush vegetation, at the far of the eye, a green field, on which some desert fruit trees, grapes, figs, food crops, camels are raised, and wild sheep, hares and other desert animals are tamed.
The Garamantes have completely maintained a primitive and quaint life, and in the tribe, there is no modern breath to be seen.
The Garamants still maintain even primitive customs, and Chen Rui believes that 'the Garamants have no marriage at all, they just cohabit with women in a mixed manner.' ’
The people of Garamane warmly entertained Chen Rui.
Chen Rui gave them a laptop with a lot of movies downloaded in it, teaching them how to turn on the computer, how to use the computer, and how to charge it with solar energy when the battery is out.
Getting an 'artifact', the Garamantes were very happy.
The next day, the warriors of the Garamantes took Chen Rui to hunt, this desert is not only a piece of yellow sand, but also some desert bushes, the Gobi, in which there are some hares, snakes and some desert animals.
Chen Rui followed the Garamantes to hunt.
The Garamants were dressed in animal skins, revealing strong, tanned arms. A beauty full of power. They may be armed with spears. Or armed with a bow and arrow, very strong.
The Garamatantes have lived in the desert for a long time and have developed excellent hunting skills.
They can pass the traces of snake crawling and spot cobras in the bushes.
They can dig out pythons that hide in deep burrows in their burrows.
They can easily hunt fast running hares, howling pigs, and more.
In the afternoon.
When they were chasing a hare, and when the hare ran into the middle of the desert, the Garamantes stopped their pursuit.
Looking at the endless desert in front of them, everyone had an expression of extreme fear on their faces. He cried out incessantly, 'The Sand of Death,' the dwelling place of the god Mannoux,' and his voice trembled with fear, as if there were devils in this desert who ate and man.
Everyone withdrew from the vast desert, not daring to take any further steps.
Before sunset in the desert, everyone returns to the tribe.
The tribe held a bonfire banquet for Chen Rui.
Chen Rui roasted a hare by himself, and the hare made a sizzling sound under the fire of the bonfire, and the aroma was fragrant in the air, and Chen Rui took out a knife. Make a few cuts on the hare meat and take the salt out of the space. Spices are sprinkled evenly over the hare meat.
When Chen Rui turned his head and found that the Garamans used mineral salt extracted from salt crystal ore with very high impurities, and, as if it was very precious, a roasted goat only spilled a small sip, which is usually more than this in our fried dishes.
Chen Rui sent them dozens of bags of salt, and also sent dozens of boxes of Nanyun Baiyao, penicillin, and cobra antivenom injection serum to them, and told them the purpose and taught them how to use it.
For Chen Rui, the price of these things is less than 1,000 yuan, but, for the isolated Garamantes, it is a very precious thing, and it can be used to save lives when it is critical, there are many desert cobras, hidden in the bushes, hidden in the house where the Garamans live, and if you are not careful, the bite is equal to death, and when there is a cobra antivenom injection of serum, it is almost equal to a life.
In front of the bonfire, Chen Rui asked the patriarch Lababa a question.
Why are they so afraid of that desert, is there really a devil in that desert?
Laba answered Chen Rui's question.
That desert is called the Sea of Death Sands, and legend has it that it is the abode of the god Mannoux, who is in charge of death and the souls of the dead, and it is a place of death, where people and animals walk, and in the blink of an eye, they swallow into the desert and disappear without a trace, just like the open mouth of the god Mannoux, punishing all the creatures who disturb his rest.
Thousands of years ago, camel caravans passing through the Sea of Death Sand, travelers who got lost, and desert animals that broke into the Sea of Death Sand, once they broke in, there was no possibility of survival, and under the Death Desert, there was a pile of bones.
The Garamantes have a strange custom that when a person dies, he will be thrown into the desert of death, and let the sea of death sand swallow up, and get eternal life in the kingdom of the god Mannoux, the soul of the dead and the dead, or, when a person grows old and becomes a burden to the clan, he will also calmly and automatically walk into the sea of death and let the sea of death sand swallow up.
Many Garamants have heard the whistling of dead spirits from below the sea of death sand at the edge of the sea of death, like the shrill sound of the wind rushing over the Gobi, which makes people feel chills to hear.
After listening to Lababa's words, Chen Rui felt a little incredible, there was such a strange place on the earth, he wanted to go and see it.
The next day, Chen Rui came to the sea of death sand.
This sea of dead sand is indeed like the sea, endless and long with yellow sand.
Soon, Chen Rui discovered the strange place of the Death Sand Sea, there was no wind nearby, but the sand dunes above the Death Sand Sea seemed to have traces of the wind, and the wind combed out traces on the sand dunes, and the wind rolled up the sand and formed a dust.
Chen Rui's heart moved, picked a leaf from the space, and threw it into the sea of death sand, the leaf sank into the sand at once, disappeared without a trace, Chen Rui threw a feather on the sea of sand, and similarly, in a blink of an eye, the feather sank into the sea of sand and disappeared.
Chen Rui thought of the description of the quicksand river in "Journey to the West", 800 quicksand boundaries, 3,000 weak water depths, goose feathers can't float, reed flowers sink at the bottom, wading through the sand and water, eating intestines without regrets, enjoying the fire in all directions, I am the one who purifies the altar.
The quicksand river in "Journey to the West" is in mythological novels, this quicksand sea is the real quicksand sea, the leaves can't float, and the feathers sink at the bottom.
Chen Rui probed with his divine sense, and his divine sense felt cold, as if he had penetrated into the condensed frost, and the sea of death sand was full of negative and dark energy.
Chen Rui's divine consciousness continued to extend towards the sea of death.
Finally, the secret of the dead sand sea is known.
There is no sand in the sea of death, and the sand dunes that Chen Rui sees in front of him are not here, they are illusory, therefore, there is no wind nearby, but you can see that the wind combs out traces on the sand dunes, and the wind blows the sand and dust, so that in the sea of death sand, the leaves and feathers cannot float.
It's a place full of mysteries.
Full of energy like death, negativity, gloom.
Chen Rui jumped off the sea of sand, he couldn't feel the resistance of the sea of sand, the sea of sand sank Chen Rui's feet, Chen Rui's body, until it didn't pass Chen Rui's head, there was no illusory sand, Chen Rui felt in mid-air, there was darkness below, and the negative energy was getting stronger and stronger.
Chen Rui knew how the camel caravans that passed through the Sea of Death Sand, the travelers who got lost, and the desert animals that broke into the Sea of Death Sand died.
Chen Rui performed the levitation technique and floated in mid-air.
Take out a flashlight from the pregnant Haizhu space and shine it through.
Below is a huge ancient city, buried in darkness.
The ancient city was silent, a little terrifyingly quiet, and the air was filled with the breath of the dead, so thick that it was like condensed water vapor, which made Chen Rui's heart very depressed.
Chen Rui's sixth sense sensed that there was a solidified killing machine hidden in the ancient city below, like a dark light on his back.
Chen Rui landed in the ancient city, everything in the ancient city is black, black city walls, black houses, black ground, black palaces, there is no other color, if, if there are other colors, it is white, the miserable white of skeletons, this is the skeletons left by people and animals who died in the sea of death sand.
Skeletons spread all over the ancient city, layer upon layer.
Chen Rui stepped on the skeleton, and there was a 'click' sound, just like the sound of a person's teeth grinding.
The negative energy that weighed heavily and made it difficult for people to breathe, the black color, and the miserable white skeletons on the ground made Chen Rui feel very depressed.
As if activated, on the ground, a skeleton crawled up, skeleton man, skeleton snake, skeleton camel, more unknown creatures, large animals, small animals, beasts of prey, tame herbivores, these skeleton undead eyes flickered with soul fire. (To be continued.) )
