Not long after the three of them left, the sand that Song Nian had noticed before suddenly rolled away.

A swarthy figure emerged from the sand and stumbled towards the carcass of the horse.

Even if a lot of blood was sucked by Song Nian and others, the blood volume of the three horses was still a lot. Song Nian and the others didn't drink much.

The man lay hungrily on the horse's carcass, crushing the congealed veins and drinking with a clatter.

After a long time, the man got up from the horse's carcass, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked into the distance.

……

Song Nian didn't know that someone was following him, and he took Chu He and Su Qi'er to advance towards his goal step by step.

The scorching sun was scorching, my throat was scorching, and my body was hot and dry.

"Don't be afraid, this is ...... The normal reaction to drinking horse blood ......" Song Nian occasionally explained to the two in a low voice, even if it was just psychological comfort

It is necessary to go down and walk to the place where the mission is demarcated.

And if it pours now...... I'm afraid I'll sleep forever in the juice of the desert...

When the full moon rose again, the three of them finally approached the location of the mission.

Silver-white mission markers, hanging behind the sand dunes ahead.

"It's almost there...... It's almost ......" Song Nian stumbled onto the sand dunes.

Then, the whole person, all sluggish......

The task marker points to the feet.

But here...... There are no cherry blossoms except sand

There are no oases, no desert peoples, no camels, no welcome... There is no water source.

nm's broken mission, hurt me!

Song Nian's psychology was cold......

"Master...... We, we got to this place, and then what? Su Qi'er gasped.

Chu He also climbed up silently, lay on the beach, looked up at the bright moon above his head, and said weakly: "Under the moonlight...... It's beautiful...... In fact, dying in the desert is not a wonderful ...... Affair. ”

Song Nian gritted his teeth: "Death...... Who is going to die! ”

Her eyes narrowed, and her dehydrated brain struggled to turn.

First of all, although this broken system has always been rubbish, it has never been missed, and this time, it should be the same!

Second, every mission released by this system is either directly related to the corpse of a dead person, or has an extremely important indirect connection.

So...... The truth must be this......

Song Nian knelt on the ground and began to dig into the sand under his feet.

Chu He was stunned for a moment, and also crawled over to help Song Nian dig.

Soon, the three of them dug up the sand with their bare hands, and sure enough, they dug up - a shriveled corpse.

Song Nian looked at the white light shining on the corpse's waist and smiled bitterly.

It was a brass kettle.

Song Nian touched it lightly, and the white light on the surface of the brass kettle shattered.

That's right! This is the reward for her mission.

It's not difficult, burn 50 fragments, and then find this dried corpse in the desert to get the kettle.

Oh yes!

It's really a delicate kettle...... What a fart!

Song Nian shook it and threw the kettle directly on the ground.

Empty!

I don't know how long this corpse has been lying here, and even if it was once filled with water, it would have been empty for a long time!

Chu He crawled over, picked up the brass kettle and looked at it: "The workmanship is very meticulous...... The technique is very strange, and these patterns on the surface are very beautiful, but Da Yongguo and the Hu people do not have this kind of craftsmanship. ”

Song Nian pointed to the dried corpse, and said angrily: "You can know from the dried corpse that from his bones and clothes, ......"

Song Nian stripped the corpse of the dried corpse three times and divided five by two, and pointed: "There is also height, and hair, you know, it is definitely not from Dayongguo." I guess it was someone who used to live in the desert, or in the Far West. ”

Chu He glanced at Song Nian and nodded silently.

In fact, the characteristics of this dried corpse are extremely obvious, with a high nose bridge, deep-set eye sockets, blue hair, a tall body, and a slender beard...... This is the great Yongguo also Sakura

In short, at first glance, he is not a person from Dayongguo.

"Master...... What do we do next? Su Qi'er licked her dry tongue.

They had just dug up this dried corpse, and they had dug it half a foot deep. The sand was still half-dry.

"Next ......"

Song Nian looked around and suddenly remembered a detail.

At that time, there were many white spots on the mission radar.

That's ...... There are a lot of dead people around here?

Song Nian took a few steps forward and began to dig according to the approximate direction of his memory.

One of the advantages of digging from the top of the dunes is that the sand can be pulled directly downwards, making it easy to dig.

Sure enough, soon, Song Nian dug up the two bodies of the neighbors, confirming her conjecture.

The second corpse was not dressed in the same clothes as the first, it was much shorter, and its teeth were worn out badly, so it was not as rich as the first corpse.

Song Nian guessed that it should be a servant or something.

But the discovery later surprised Song Nian.

On the second corpse, a lot of copper coins were found.

Song Nian couldn't understand the year name on the copper coin, so he handed it to Chu He.

Chu He looked at it by the moonlight and was slightly stunned.

The workmanship of these copper coins is excellent.

There is no water vapor erosion in the desert, so the copper coins still retain an extremely bright brass color.

The four big characters on it: "Yongqing Tongbao." ”

"Yongqing? Which dynasty is Yongqing the name of? Song Nian frowned, she was illiterate, and she couldn't remember these messy era names at all.

"Yongqing...... It is the era name of the previous dynasty. Chu He said lightly.

"Former ...... Former? Song Nian was stunned, could it be that the copper coins of the previous dynasty are still in circulation? Then I looked at it again.

Only then did I find out that all the copper coins carried by this person were Yongqing Tongbao.

"Don't look at it...... Don't you notice that the clothes on this man's body are very different from ours? Chu He squirmed his chapped lips and said.

Only then did Song Nian discover that the clothes on the second dried corpse were very different from today's in terms of shape.

"This dry corpse is from the Yongqing period of the previous dynasty." Chu He said in a low voice: "At what time, this ancient silk road has not been broken." ”

Chu He pointed at this person: "You search next to him, maybe there are other things, it should be what they bought from the extreme west." ”

Song Nian dug casually, and sure enough, he dug out another glass pot.

Although the transparency of the glass is not high, it may indeed be a treasure in the Yongqing Dynasty at that time.

"It's good to be able to see the ancients of the ancient silk road with your own eyes...... As the so-called Chaowen Dao......" Chu He looked at the two dried corpses and smiled.

Song Nian snorted and licked her cracked lips: "What is the morning and the road can be dead, the old lady doesn't believe this ......"

Then, she turned to look at Chu He: "Since there are dead bodies here, this is the ancient silk road that used to be, right?" ”

Chu He nodded: "Yes, the ancient silk road that stretches for thousands of years...... ...... old days"

"That's it! Shut up, I know what to do next! ”
