Chapter 34: The Ruins of the Blazing Nation
The next morning, Luo Ziying was woken up by Qiu Mo. She opened her hazy sleepy eyes: "What time is it?" Qiu Mo: "The sun is drying your buttocks, it's half past eight." Luo Ziying sat up immediately, and didn't lie in bed: "It's almost nine o'clock, why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Qiu Mo: "Seeing that you sleep very soundly, I will let you sleep a little longer."
Luo Ziying touched her hair, she glanced out the window, she couldn't open her eyes because of the sun, she squinted and blocked the strong sunlight with her hands. Qiu Mo: "Didn't an archaeological team enter the site before?" Is there still a route left? Luo Ziying: "When the archaeological team was archaeological in the ancient city, there was a lot of accident, as if there was something inside that stopped the progress of the archaeological team. Then the archaeological team withdrew from there, and we had to look for people with camels if we went." Qiu Mo: "Is there no one in the ruins now?" Do you dare to go there alone? Luo Ziying: "There is no way, this discovery is too significant." I'll have to go even if it's dangerous, but if you think it's too much trouble, don't come with me." Qiu Mo: "No matter what you say, I can't let you go alone. Get up, and let us go to the camel merchants."
Luo Ziying got out of bed and washed. Followed Qiu Mo out of the room, and then together they bought some pots used to cook in the desert and some vegetables that had been dehydrated by a special method on the street. Then I went to the local naan shop and bought a lot of baked naan, which is a very large cake that can be kept for a long time because it is very dry.
The next step was to find the camel merchant, Qiu Mo and Luo Ziying came to the entrance of the desert. There are a lot of sand-crossing carts and camel merchants here, Qiu Mo looked at some camels to judge the state of these camels, and after seeing a team of camels, he came to the place of this camel trader: "We are going to the site where the archaeological team went a few days ago, can you go?" The camel merchant: "No, that place is too evil, don't go!" ”。 Qiu Mo: "Ten thousand yuan!" To go or not to go? The camel merchant hesitated for a while: "It's really not good, the last time the archaeological team went and killed several people, that place is not clean, what are you going to do there?" Qiu Mo: "You don't need to know what we're going to do, at most fifteen thousand." No, I'll find another home." The camel merchant frowned, and he sighed: "Well, I'll take you there, but I'll return as soon as there is a situation."
Luo Ziying: "Why do you spend so much money, I'll transfer the seven thousand five to you." Qiu Mo smiled and said, "Actually, I went there for a purpose, even if you are not there, I will go." You don't have to give me money", Luo Ziying: "It's not good, after all, I .........." Qiu Mo: "It's okay, let's go." The camel merchant drove the camels into a cart and waved to Qiu Mo and them: "It will save a lot of time to go into the heart of the desert by road, and then use the camels in one part of the road." Qiu Mo and the others followed the camel merchant to the front of the car, Qiu Mo sat down next to the camel merchant, and then Luo Ziying sat next to Qiu Mo. The entire front of the car is not very big, and Luo Ziying's is almost close to Qiu Mo. The car drove along a road towards the heart of the desert, followed by many tourist cars. Luo Ziying opened the car window, and the wind blew her hair. She looked at the endless desert: "When you came here before, did you have people around you?" Qiu Mo recalled the events of his previous life: "The first time I came here, I almost died, but I met some very good people."
Luo Ziying thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anyone you like?" Qiu Mo: "I met my wife here". Luo Ziying lowered her head: "Do you already have a wife?" Then why didn't you come with her? Qiu Mo smiled slightly: "There are some special reasons." Luo Ziying was a little disappointed and said: "I thought you were single", Qiu Mo: "It's okay, I'm sure you can also find a good person, just like my wife." Luo Ziying raised her head and tied her hair back, and took out a rubber band from her pocket to tie it. She said energetically, "Well, it will."
Between the words, the camel merchant's car stopped in a place similar to a rest stop on a road. The camel merchant got out of the car and drove the camel off the cart, and he said to Qiu Mo: "From here we are going into the desert, we have to rely on the camels." Qiu Mo and Luo Ziying got out of the car and got ready at the rest stop with the camel merchant, unloading the bucket from the car for the camels to load. Luo Ziying put the food and some tents on the camel's back and finished tidying up. Everyone stepped into the desert together, and it was easy to fall into the soft sand as soon as you stepped on it. Everyone also changed into shoes for the desert, although Qiu Mo did not change, he wore a very beautiful pair of shoes. Luo Ziying walked very hard, but Qiu Mo, who did not change his shoes, walked very easily. He came to Luo Ziying's side and taught her how to walk in the desert. How to walk can walk for a longer time, he taught Luo Ziying all the way. The camel merchant on the side: "Little brother, there is something in your shoes." I feel like your shoes are making your whole body lighter." Qiu Mo: "Good eyesight, my shoes do have a little design, but they are not as mysterious as you say." Qiu Mo didn't have the function of turning on the shoes, but it seems that the shoes themselves have a little bit of a light and agile function.
Luo Ziying wiped the sweat from her hat: "How do you feel that there are some unusual places everywhere on your body", Qiu Mo joked: "Because I am a thousand-year-old demon, haha." Luo Ziying gave him a blank look, and everyone continued on their journey.
After walking for about three or four hours, the scorching midday sun shone on the desert, and the sand became hot. Everyone set up their tents and rested. Luo Ziying felt that she was about to collapse, and she sat in the tent and drank water frantically. As a result, Qiu Mo snatched her water: "Don't drink too much water at once, drink slowly, don't drink too much at once." Luo Ziying nodded, and Qiu Mo tore open a baked naan and gave it to her. Luo Ziying ate the roasted naan with water, and everyone rested for an hour before continuing on the road. Luo Ziying dragged her body forward, and Qiu Mo supported her to make her feel more relaxed. In the afternoon, the sun bakes everyone like a roaster. But what is very strange is that Luo Ziying actually felt a little cool by Qiu Mo's side, as if Qiu Mo's body was gently blowing a breeze, blowing away the heat. Luo Ziying: "Why, it feels like the wind is blowing around you?" Qiu Mo: "Because the desert is sheltering me, I am the aboriginal here."
Luo Ziying: "Aren't those camel traders aborigines?" Why doesn't the desert shelter them? Qiu Mo: "Haha, you can experience it yourself, you won't understand it if you say it." Luo Ziying: "There are strange things every year, especially this year. I seriously suspect that you are not normal now, and I believe you a little bit when you said that you are a thousand-year-old demon."
Qiu Mo: "Okay, if you have the kung fu to speak, let's hurry first", Luo Ziying: "..........". Everyone marched forward, around the end of the evening. The sun was already in the west, and everyone saw a place with some facilities, and the sand had been hollowed out in a large patch. Revealing the ruins of the ancient kingdom underground, Qiu Mo came to the side of the huge sand pit, and he looked at the place. There are many buildings that he still remembers, the place where he used to live with Xiaorou, the place where he made pottery with everyone, he looked blankly at the bottom of the sand pit, and two lines of tears fell quietly in his eyes. Luo Ziying came to Qiu Mo's side, and she saw Qiu Mo's tears: "Why do you cry when you see this, do you feel sad?" ”。 Qiu Mo replied: "You don't understand."
Luo Ziying snorted, her hands crossed her waist: "Hmph, I think you are weird, all day long, it seems that you are really a thousand-year-old demon." Qiu Mo ignored her, he stood up and walked to the camel merchant: "Just camp here, I'm going down tonight." Luo Ziying: "Are you going down tonight?" Or tomorrow." Qiu Mo has always accommodated her, but this time he said in an undoubted tone: "No, I'll go down tonight, you go down tomorrow, I have something to do", Luo Ziying said: "Then I'll go down with you!" Don't stop me! ”。
Qiu Mo: "......... Okay, be careful", Luo Ziying opened her large bag, which was full of archaeological tools and some video cameras.
Qiu Mo said: "You are ready, we will go down!" Luo Ziying was sorting out her tools: "Wait a minute, I'll bring some things", Qiu Mo waited for her to sort out her things.
Slowly, it became completely dark. At this time, nothing could be seen in the bunker, and there was an eerie feeling to the darkness. Luo Ziying tidied up her things, brought a flashlight, she came to the sand pit and looked inside, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Qiu Mo: "Let's go", Luo Ziying: "Wait, I'll take the rope", Qiu Mo: "No need". He grabbed Luo Ziying's waist and took the equipment in her hand with his right hand. Luo Ziying hadn't reacted yet, Qiu Mo: "Hold me tight!" ”。 Luo Ziying hugged Qiu Mo, and then Qiu Mo jumped into the deep pit. Luo Ziying: "What are you doing?" Ahh Luo Ziying was so frightened that she closed her eyes, but she closed her eyes for a long time, and the pain did not come. She slowly opened her eyes. Finding that it had landed, she let go of Qiu Mo and turned on the flashlight, she looked up: "I'll go, will you do light work?" Qiu Mo smiled and said, "Yes, how about it, it's not bad."
Luo Ziying: "I found that you are becoming more and more mysterious, are you really a thousand-year-old demon?" Qiu Mo: "Now let's go inside." Qiu Mo began to walk inside, and Luo Ziying hurriedly followed him: "Don't you use a flashlight?" How do you know the way here? Qiu Mo: "Do you want to become a hundred thousand why?" Just follow me", Luo Ziying: "Oh". When she came to the city, Luo Ziying took pictures around: "Wow, this mural is so intact, what is painted on it?" Qiu Mo: "That's what the little hairy boy scribbled on the wall when he was idle." Well, there are also words that teach them to write". Luo Ziying: "Hey, can you respect history?" It's the same as it really is." Qiu Mo covered his forehead and said in a voice that only he could hear: "It's true." Qiu Mo had to accompany Luo Ziying to take a picture and take a look while walking.
When he walked to the center of the city, a group of skeletons in armor blocked the way in front, and Qiu Mo frowned as he looked at these skeletons in armor. Luo Ziying accidentally touched one, and as a result, these skeletons woke up all at once. They lifted their drooping heads and picked up the spears scattered on the ground. Luo Ziying collapsed to the ground in fright, but at this time, some skeletons in armor also walked from behind Luo Ziying, and they ignored Luo Ziying. Walking towards the skeletons in armor, not only some skeletons in armor, but also some skeletons in rotting clothes also woke up.
Qiu Mo stared at these armored skeletons: "You scum, you are not dead yet!" Soldiers and citizens of the Blazing Nation, tear them apart with me! His eyes glowed blood-red, and he let out an earth-shattering roar. The bone spurs in his right hand grew wildly, and for a time his elbows, shoulders, fingers, and the back of his hands were covered with sharp spikes and barbs. A little blood-red line appeared on his bone spurs, and Xiao Rou blessed the spiritual power on the bone spurs.
He slapped the attached pair of armored skeletons to pieces, and the armored soldiers followed him and joined him in smashing and shattering the armored soldiers one by one. Every time she shattered one, Xiao Rou smashed the spiritual power on these armored soldiers together, causing them to completely die. Qiu Mo led these armored skeletons and skeletons in rotten clothes to smash these armored skeleton soldiers all the way, and at the back of this group of soldiers was the commander of the armored skeleton, and it actually held Yusheng's dark iron rod in its hand. Qiu Mo called: "Come!" He held out his palm. The black iron rod in the commander's hand flew up at once, and by the way, it took all the bones of its hand down. The stick flew into Qiu Mo's hand in response, and Qiu Mo directly pinched the hand bones left on it by the commander into slag.
With a spike in his right hand and a stick in his left hand, he slashed at the commander all the way. Eventually, he smashed the commander to pieces with a blackiron rod. All the soldiers in armor were reduced to a pile of debris.
