Chapter 155: The Sand Sea is in distress again
Chang Ping was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly used a knife to remove the yellow sand, and under the yellow sand was a skeleton wearing armor, but this skeleton had a red rope hanging around its neck, and a metal badge was tied under the red rope.
Chang Ping broke the red rope on the badge and held the badge in his hand, "My lord, look at it, what is this?" Doesn't it feel like something like our big week? ”
Di Renjie took the badge in Chang Ping's hand, looked at it, and felt that it seemed to be a little familiar, suddenly, Di Renjie seemed to think of something, groped from his arms, took out a cloth bag, opened the cloth bag, and there was an identical badge inside!
"My lord, why do you have one?" Chang Ping asked in surprise!
Di Renjie took the two badges in his hand and compared them carefully, although he couldn't understand what the patterns of the two badges were, they were exactly the same in shape and texture!
"Do you remember the skeleton we found in the desert bunker?" Di Renjie asked!
Chang Ping and Chang An nodded, and said in unison: "Remember!" ”
"This is what I found under that skeleton, although I don't know what pattern is drawn on this badge, but one thing is certain, this is definitely not my Great Zhou!" Di Renjie said with two badges!
Chang Ping and Chang An looked at each other, their faces full of doubt!
Di Renjie pondered for a moment, and suddenly spoke, "Chang Ping, Chang An, you drag that extremely skeleton over and remove the armor!" ”
Chang Ping and Chang An heard the order, dragged several nearby skeletons to Di Renjie, removed the armor and military uniforms on the skeletons one by one, and lay on the yellow sand with miserable white bones one by one, Di Renjie gradually frowned!
"It seems that they are the missing Right Jin Wuwei that we have been looking for so hard!" Di Renjie said with emotion!
"My lord, that's unlikely, isn't it? The army of the Right Jin Wuwei has been missing for more than a month, and even if they are all killed on the day of their disappearance, they will not all turn into white bones? Chang Ping asked puzzled!
Di Renjie looked at the white bones in front of him, and said in thought: "This is nothing impossible, because their flesh and blood have all been eaten, I once saw a record of desert marching ants in an ancient book, there is a very terrifying ant in this vast desert, their actions are just like a black whirlwind, they can instantly gnaw the prey flesh and blood clean, except for clothes and bones, there is not even a trace of blood on the scene!" Presumably they were gnawed by this ant to become what they are now! ”
"Huh? That's terrifying, isn't it? I didn't expect a small ant to have such great power, but my lord, there are twenty or thirty thousand people in this army of the Right Jin Wuwei, how many ants are there? Won't they protect themselves? Chang An asked puzzled!
"Hmmm! Good question! This is also what I am puzzled about, it stands to reason that even if the army encounters the desert marching ants, some casualties are understandable, but tens of thousands of troops have turned into bones, which is too incredible! Di Renjie paced back and forth in front of several white bones, and said with a puzzled face!
"That's right, an army of tens of thousands of people, and it's not a dead man!" Chang Ping interjected!
"Huh? Chang Ping, what did you just say? Di Renjie suddenly asked!
"Ah, my lord, I said they weren't dead!" Chang Ping looked at Di Renjie and replied!
"I see why they've turned to bones without a sign of a struggle, maybe they were dead when they encountered the desert marching ants!" Di Renjie said suddenly!
"Huh? No way? Tens of thousands of people died at the same time, so what kind of war must this be? Chang Ping asked puzzled!
"I don't think they should have died in the war, according to the report of Feng Zhijing, the assassin of Shuozhou at that time, Liu Maoyuan's right Jin Wuwei was about to arrive in the desert of Shuozhou, when the wind suddenly rose, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and at the same time there was the roar of fierce beasts, they were rumored to be the nine-headed black sand in the black desert, I think it may not be a monster, but they encountered the desert earth movement, this desert is full of yellow sand under a hundred feet, if the earth movement causes a wide range of quicksand, it is possible to devour these tens of thousands of people!" Di Renjie said thoughtfully!
"And what was the roar of the beast they heard?" Chang Ping asked!
Di Renjie twisted his hair and said: "I'm afraid it's just the howl of the wind when the earth moves, plus the sound of thunder, because every time the earth moves, it will be accompanied by bursts of thunder!" I think the situation at that time should be that the army was on the way, and suddenly encountered the earth movement, and the wind and sand that covered the sky and the sun made the people in Shuozhou City unable to see what was happening in the desert, and after the earth moved, the storm also subsided, and the desert returned to its original appearance, so Feng Zhijing, the assassin in Shuozhou City, felt that the army disappeared out of thin air, but as everyone knows, the tens of thousands of troops have been buried under the yellow sand! ”
"My lord, then this is strange, the army of the Right Jin Wuwei was about to arrive in Shuozhou when the earth moved, so our current position should be almost to Shuozhou? But I clearly remember that we set off from Black Sand City, and we had only walked for a few hours, so in such a short time, we couldn't reach the vicinity of Shuozhou at all? Chang Ping asked in surprise!
Di Renjie nodded, "Well, what you said makes a lot of sense, and this is also what I can't figure out!" Well? Di Renjie seemed to have discovered something, approached the white bones, squatted down and kept measuring something with his hands, and muttered, "How can this be?" ”
Chang Ping was puzzled, and was just about to ask, when suddenly, the yellow sand under their feet trembled again, the city wall that was already a broken wall, and the broken stone pillars cracked again, and stones kept falling down!
Di Renjie was startled and hurriedly stood up, "Not good! I'm afraid it's going to collapse again, run! Di Renjie shouted in panic!
Chang Ping'an bounced up from the ground violently, pulling Di Renjie to run to the open place, the yellow sand under his feet flowed like a river, making the three of them stumble!
Di Renjie raised his eyes and looked into the distance, it seemed that there was another gentle slope in the distance, the speed of the quicksand was not so fast, Di Renjie hurriedly pointed to the gentle slope in the distance and shouted: "Quick, let's run there!" ”
Chang Ping and Chang An didn't see clearly what Di Renjie was referring to, and they didn't care about pulling Di Renjie so much, and ran all the way in the direction of Di Renjie's finger!
The three of them were like boats sailing against the current, no matter what they were stepping on, smoke and dust had begun to rise behind them, and they couldn't see clearly, and the three of them didn't know how long they had been running, the yellow sand under their feet seemed to be immovable, and the three of them finally lost their strength and fell to the ground!
The three of them were lying on the yellow sand, panting heavily, Di Renjie was not as peaceful as usual, although he was pulled by two people, but after all, he was old, and at this time, he felt like a boulder was pressed on his chest, and even panting would bring him great pain!
After resting for a while, the moonlight gradually lit up in the sky, Chang Ping barely stood up, and looked back in the direction they ran from, and there was a vast yellow sand in front of him, as if nothing had happened!
