"From today on, you are all my brothers and sisters in Takji, we will share blessings and hardships!"

Seeing the old man of Takji swearing with everyone with a package ticket, Chen Tao sneered in his heart.

I believe you're a ghost, you're a bad old man, you're very bad!

Chen Tao can understand that this old man is not only greedy for money, but also an old sow wearing a bra, one after another.

As he spoke, a big sandstorm had come outside, and people below could only hear the howl of the wind outside, and sand kept blowing in through the cracks above. The sky is shaking outside, and people in the ruins of the ancient city can't help but be frightened, in case the wind and sand bury the hole hole, they will not be suffocated to death?

Everyone took turns staring at the hole in the roof, and ran over every once in a while to take a look. If something happens, tell everyone to run out as soon as possible. But when the disaster is at hand, everyone knows that in the current situation, going out is a death, but it is just a change of place to be buried alive.

Chen Tao raised his flashlight and shone it around, and saw a lot of artemisia growing under the wall, which is a kind of hay, vitality and tenacity.

"It seems that this place is not too dry, at least there are still a few grasses that can grow."

"That's for sure." Old man Takji took off his tattered felt hat and patted the sand on the soles of his shoes, "Well, I've been here a few years ago, and the sand hasn't been buried so high at that time. There was a well in the middle of the city, and there was water in it! ”

"I was riding my salad, and it was two years old. That time, he also took a few people into the desert, but he encountered a burning wind. At that time, there was no place to hide, and those people were blown to death by the hot wind. Thanks to God's blessing, I found this place with my salad, and the well, which kept me alive! ”

Burning winds are a unique meteorological variation in the desert, and this wind is called hot and dry wind. In the desert, the specific heat capacity of sand is relatively low, and after absorbing a large amount of heat, it will release heat at a certain time, and when the wind blows, it will heat the wind to hundreds of degrees. When encountering fire and wind, both humans and animals will be scalded to death by the high temperature.

Seeing that it was pitch black, Chen Tao got up and walked to the wall, and pulled out some sand artemisia seeds indiscriminately, ready to be used for heating and lighting for everyone, but when pulling weeds, the grass roots brought up the sand below, revealing a dry human hand.

"! There's someone here! ”

Looking along the arm, I saw that half of the body was buried in the corner of the wall, the climate in the desert was abnormally dry, the corpse had been dried, the hair was gone, it was estimated that it had been dead for a long time, and part of the dried meat on the face had disappeared, revealing the jaw of Bai Sensen below.

A few plants of Artemisia spp. grew out of the leaking chest cavity of the corpse, and they were exceptionally luxuriant.

"Dead bodies?" Haozi came over and was also startled when he saw the dried corpse in the corner.

Several people here, except for An Liman, who often deal with ancient corpses, saw so many corpses in Heizigou, Chen Tao was not very afraid, but he was a little puzzled that this corpse died here.

Takjidao thinks this is not surprising, I don't know how many people like Chen Tao and others enter the desert every year, and if they are lucky enough to come out alive, it is normal for them to die in the desert if they are unlucky enough to encounter fire winds and sandstorms.

But Chen Tao felt that this person might not have died from the fire and sandstorm. Being able to hide here means that he had escaped at that time, but then he died.

"Why do you spend so much talking, just dig it out and take a look?" Haozi picked up a folding shovel and began to shovel sand along the perimeter of the corpse, but the sand was all flowing, and he couldn't see how deep it was after digging for a long time.

"This corpse is indeed strangely dead, let's check the surroundings carefully to avoid any danger. There was such a ruined city within a radius of a few miles, and there was such a big sandstorm outside, and there might be other animals taking refuge here. Ye Rong took the flashlight and began to look around the stone wall.

Haozi was still stubbornly digging into the sand around the corpse, intending to bury the corpse.

"In this place of the desert, you can't come and go, and it's fate that you met us today. Master Hao, I'll dig a pit for you, you can rest in peace, you will be reincarnated in the next life, don't come to a ghost place like the desert! ”

Chen Tao glanced at Haozi speechlessly, let him mutter nonsense there, and in a trance, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and took the flashlight to the other side, and his heart suddenly sank.

Ye Rong, who was originally searching over there, is gone!

"Where's Ye Rong!"

Chen Tao was shocked, and ran to the corner of the wall over there. Ye Rong is their rich man, and the map and Uncle Long's information are all in her hands, if she has three long and two short, wouldn't this trip be in vain?

"Ye Rong! Ye Rong! Chen Tao shouted her name, and the flashlight circled around, and she couldn't even see a figure.

I was worried in my heart, but suddenly my feet were empty, and the whole person instantly sank into the sand pit, and before he could shout Haozi, the person fell straight down.

"Taozi!"

Seeing that Chen Tao disappeared in an instant, Haozi was shocked, and he couldn't care about the dead body in the corner, so he got up and ran to the place where Chen Tao disappeared.

A large black pit appeared in Chen Tao's original location, and there were broken walls and broken tiles underneath, like a gap in the ruins. Originally, it may not be strong underneath, but it was only a thin layer of sand on it, and when a person stepped on it, the broken wall below could not bear the weight, so it fell down directly, and the person was gone, only the surrounding sand was still pouring down.

"Taozi!" Haozi was lying at the mouth of the sand pit, seeing that it had collapsed very deeply, Chen Tao and they didn't know where they fell, and they didn't see anyone respond after shouting for a long time, they were in a hurry, and their feet suddenly loosened, and it was estimated that there was a collapse below, not only him, but also with Takji who had just run over and was involved in the quicksand.

The sand slid fast, and before people had time to pounce, they had already rolled into the bottomless pit, and then, there was a shaking around, and under the influence of the storm outside, the whole hall was shaking, and after all, it collapsed in the shaking, and the sand wave was swept away by the storm in an instant.

......

When Chen Tao woke up again, he was already buried in the sand, and only one hand was still exposed. Chen Tao moved his body vigorously, and finally crawled out of the sand, his ears, mouth and nose were full of sand.

The flashlight was already gone when it fell, and it was probably buried in the sand, Chen Yao touched his body, took out a lighter from his pocket, and lit it.

At this time, he seems to be under a ruin, with a broken wall and rubble on his head, and he doesn't know when it will collapse again. The original hall was estimated to have completely collapsed, and the wind continued to come from the cracks in the ruins, making a strange whimpering sound.

Looking down, there seemed to be a staircase at his feet, and there was already a thick pile of yellow sand on it. The stone steps continued down, and the lighter of the lighter was limited, and Chen Tao had no way to see what it was like below.

Trying to go down a section, the foot stepped on the sand pile and caused a chain reaction, and a large piece of sand slid down the slope.

"Fortunately, the stone steps are quite stable."

After walking down several steps in a row, I didn't know what I stepped on, and the sand in front of me suddenly squirmed.

There was a big storm outside, and other wild beasts in this ruined city inevitably hid in, and there was a sand wolf, yellow sheep, and sand leopard hiding in any of the horns......

Chen Tao was taken aback, and hurriedly touched his belt, feeling cold in his heart. The equipment is all on the camel outside, and I don't even have a self-defense other than this lighter.

In desperation, Chen Tao had no choice but to grab a handful of sand, and the person began to retreat. If a wild beast pounces on you, sprinkle it in the face!

Due to the time, the lighter in my hand began to get hot, and I couldn't hold it anymore.

The sand squirmed more and more, and the thing buried under the movement was twice its size, and at this juncture, an evil wind suddenly blew over.

The flame shook a few times, and it was blown out alive!
