The vast desert, the lonely cold wind.

A caravan of more than 200 people meandered across the endless sand dunes, looking like ants from afar.

Suddenly, the sky is a line of dusk, and when you look closely, it is a long wave of sand, rolling on.

The caravan came to a halt, camels and horses knelt down, and people covered their mouths and noses tightly, praying for a natural disaster.

In the blink of an eye, more than 200 people were covered with yellow sand.

"Boss He, do you think they can survive?" I hid behind the rocky mountain wall, watched this scene through the wind and sand, and asked with palpitations.

"Looking at the size of this sandstorm, I'm afraid it's out of the picture." The guide, Homa, sighed, "When you see a sandstorm, it's too late to find a hiding place." ”

I turned around and looked at the people of the Xujia caravan hiding in the gap of the rocky mountain, and I couldn't help but nod.

If it weren't for Homa's insistence that we go into this rocky mountain to hide in the fine weather, none of us would have survived.

"Boss He." Xu Lang came over and asked, "Do you think we will wait for the wind and sand to pass and leave immediately, or ......?"

Homa glanced at the sky: "The sandstorm is over, and it's getting late, so let's plan to spend the night here, but gather everyone first, I have something to say." ”

Zhang Heng immediately went to call someone.

In the great desert, the words of the old guide are orders.

Orders and orders, if you don't obey orders, you will lose your life!

However, the sandstorm was abusing outside, and everyone was hiding peacefully in the cracks of this rocky mountain, what did Boss He have to say?

"Tonight, we're going to spend the night at the foot of this red rock mountain." Boss He looked at the caravan and said, "I believe that some of you have already heard the rumors of 'Man-eating Ghost Mountain'. ”

"Man-eating ghost mountain?" There was a murmur in the caravan.

"That's right!" Boss He said sharply, "A rocky mountain like this in the desert is not only rare, but it is also the best place to avoid sandstorms; However, many old horse heads are reluctant to settle in this kind of place, do you know why? ”

"Could it be that mountains can eat people?" Some disbelieve.

"It's not the mountains that eat people, it's the mountain ghosts!" He Boss Zhengse said, "Every year, I don't know how many people die unjustly in this big desert, because the ghosts are afraid of the scorching sun, so they gradually gather in the valley where they can hide from the sun......"

He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said this, the whole place suddenly became ghostly.

"However, those are legends and are not reliable." Boss He looked around at everyone and suddenly said.

"Boss He, don't be scary." Someone laughed.

"I'll say something reliable now." There was not the slightest smile on Boss He's face, "A rocky mountain like this is the best place to take refuge in the great desert, not only for us people, but also for other animals - in other words, there is something hiding here besides us, but no one can say for sure." ”

"That's true." People shuddered, "If you can't say it, there will be some sand wolves, poisonous snakes, scorpions......"

"So, what I'm going to say to you is - don't do it alone in this crevice." He Lao Dao, "Even if you go to pee and, you have to call someone; If you see something strange, don't look around. ”

Boss He's words really make sense!

I nodded my head and then picked up my baggage and prepared to venture deep into the cracks of the mountains.

"I said, sir, are you listening?" Boss He grabbed my burden.

At this time, the burden is mainly used to hold some torches, ropes, hooks and other exploration items, after all, the storage box of the mysterious space has a limited capacity, and it is not a good idea to blindly stuff things into it.

"I heard it very clearly, so for the safety of everyone, I decided to sacrifice it and go alone to see what danger was around." I said with my eyes wide open.

"I know that you are a master of art and bold, and you don't believe in evil." Boss He sighed and said, "But in the world, there are many things that cannot be explained by martial arts. ”

"It's not that it can't be explained by martial arts methods, but we haven't found the corresponding martial arts methods yet." I said nonchalantly, "As a martial arts person, we should establish a correct concept of martial arts, and firmly believe that no matter how difficult the puzzle is, it can't be a peerless secret book!" ”

"This ......" Boss He was speechless.

"Teenager." Xu Lang walked over and said, "On weekdays, I will also go on an expedition with you, but now the caravan still needs me to be in charge, give you this." ”

He threw me a finger-thick brass rod.

"What is this?" I wondered.

"Fire Fold." Xu Lang said, "You bring the torch in, it is inevitable to encounter inconvenient places, this fire fold can burn for more than an hour after opening, and it is easy to use as it is turned on." ”

I didn't bother with it, so I put away the fire fold and went deep into the rocky mountain......

Why did I have to take this risk on a whim?

Not without reason.

After a distance away from the crowd, I pulled out a copper piece in the shape of an ancient coin.

That's right, it's the one I got from the strange man Zhang Ash.

Holding the torch back and forth, after a while, I finally made a discovery: I saw a vague mark on the stone wall.

The shape of the imprint corresponds to the engraving on the ancient coin.

I was also bored when I was sheltering from the storm, so I looked east and west, and accidentally found a similar mark on a stone wall behind my long-haired sister, so I decided to go deep into the cracks of the stone mountain.

Could there be more clues about the Seven Jewels hidden inside?

The crevices of this rocky mountain, the wide places where a dozen people can walk side by side, the narrow places where it is difficult to even squeeze sideways, coupled with the intermittent light and the intermittent sound of the wind horn - in such a place can not walk a few steps, and a wonderful sense of isolation will arise.

In such a situation, it is easy to retreat.

But a sense of anticipation that a great treasure might be discovered at any moment spurred me on.

As I walked, there was a sudden click, and I seemed to have stepped on something hard under my feet, and I had broken it.

It can't be a dead man's bones, right?

My heart trembled, and I lowered the torch and looked at the soles of my feet......

It's an arrow!

Looking at the shaft and arrowhead, it seems that they are still quite new, and it should not be too long to be lost in this place.

Could it be that there is someone else here besides me?

Listening closely, there are faint whimpering cries echoing in the depths of the gaps, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is the sound of the wind or the activity of people or animals.

Courageously, I continued to search the stone wall for the mysterious mark.

The fire flickered, and a human face appeared in the darkness ahead!

It doesn't scare me.

I smiled and could tell that it was a carved face, exactly like the face of the statue on an ancient coin.

Let's go, go over and see.

As soon as the legs were raised, the feet suddenly stepped into the air.

I didn't even have time to hum, and the whole person was planted in a deep pit......
