Chapter 68: An Unexpected Discovery
Mu Tou told Lao Li about the process of knowing Li Annie, and Lao Li just sighed, "It's a shame that she met you at the bar, and at that time she blamed me for ignoring her, and went to Shannan in a fit of anger...... Thank you for helping me take care of her. β
"Nothing. β
"Wood is in love, I haven't been in love yet, I've never been in love, and I'm so naΓ―ve that I'm dying. Stone cheekily interjected.
"It's good I didn't come across you. Lao Li said to the stone. "I owe Anne so much, she hasn't listened to me since her mother's accident, well, no more family matters...... The clue my wife found on the ancient Jane at that time was an ancient text, and I only remember part of it: the ship of the desert is above the water, the end of the day, and the beast at the gate of the city......
Although I don't understand it very well, I just conclude that it is in the West based on the phrase the end of the day, and has been leading the team towards the West, but still nothing has been found. On the twenty-first day, we were hit by a large sandstorm, and after the clearing, we checked the food and water, and when supplies were insufficient, we chose to return the way we came. But I didn't expect that on the way back, there were two black objects on the golden sand dunes that were particularly conspicuous, and the team members were almost exhausted, only my physical strength was better, so I ran over to see what it was.
It turned out that after the sandstorm, a lot of sand was removed by the storm, and the ruins were exposed, and when we passed through the area the other day, we found nothing. They were two huge ink-colored stone statues, I don't know what material they were, there were no signs of weathering on the surface, they were smooth. It was midday, when the sun was at its most poisonous in the desert, and the stone statue was cold to the touch. A member of the team called out to me and asked me what I had found, and I replied and asked them to come over.
As soon as I finished shouting, the dunes shook and the sand under my feet spilled out, and I realized that I might have hit quicksand. I fell weakly with the sand, but luckily Akagi's father threw me a rope and pulled me up with a pickup truck, and after saving me, everyone looked behind me in amazement.
When I looked at the place where I was standing just now, I was also startled, the sand had sunk down, and in front of me was a large cone-shaped pit with a diameter of no less than 100 meters and a bottomless depth! And in the middle opposite of the sand pit, there were two huge black stone beasts, to be exact, the head of the beast and the human body, my wife said that it was the head of Pixiu, which looked like a bobcat. Between the two stone beasts, there was sand flowing downward, it was like a waterfall, and the sand didn't finish flowing. β
