The desert has always been the place where UFOs appear most frequently.

Why do such anomalies occur? People around the world who are keen to study "UFO" explain that the desert is far away from the human settlements on the earth, and it is very barren and quiet, so the advanced intelligent beings from outer space have given priority to the desert as their base.

Materialists do not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods in this world, and naturally they will not put the matter of aliens on the table to discuss.

Is there a planet outside of Earth that is suitable for human habitation? Is there a higher level of life in outer space than humans? Are those unexplained UFOs the cosmic-class spacecraft that aliens are riding? These enigmatic questions cannot be presented to everyone with real evidence.

Professor Yao Chunsheng is only in the field of paleontology, and has a high level of achievement, however, he is not interested in aliens and UFOs, and he insists that "UFO" is a false proposition.

This time, although he witnessed the luminous body coming and going without a trace, and his soul was also greatly shocked, but on the surface, he still had to pretend to be casual: "Don't talk nonsense there!" It's just a very normal natural phenomenon, what's the fuss about? Little Joe, you say—where did that thing appear? ”

Qiao Benliang replied truthfully: "Its location should be west of Lop Nur, on the north bank of the Peacock River, and southwest of the ancient city of Loulan, that is, the place where several of us have been to the Peacock Castle. ”

"Oooh!" Yao Chunsheng nodded and didn't say anything more, but his mind was thinking about whether to go to that place next.

At this time, Luo Fang opened his mouth and said, "Professor Yao, if you are interested, we might as well go to the Peacock Castle to find out now, how about it?" ”

Xu Lai also said next to him: "Yes, Professor Yao, everything must be based on facts, and only by tracing back to the source can we find out the truth!" ”

In fact, Yao Chunsheng's heart is like a mirror, of course he knows this truth, but he pretends to be a gesture on the surface and refuses to spit out.

Since Luo Fang and Xu Lai spoke out first, he had no choice but to take advantage of the situation and go down the stairs, so he agreed: "Well, if you all agree to do this, I will also let it go, and accompany you on a journey tonight?" ”

Of course, there was no problem on Qiao Benliang's side, he smiled and said, "Professor Yao, I am happy to accompany you, then let's prepare to leave now!" ”

"What? Wouldn't you, Brother Liang, you're going to Peacock Castle again tonight? After Chen Jie heard this, he couldn't help but scream. Qiao Benliang looked at his companion and said with great certainty: "Yes, Xiaopang, we are going there to find out the situation!" ”

Chen Jie shouted: "Brother Liang, we just went to that place last night, and we haven't caught our breath yet, and then we're going to go again tonight, oh my God, thinking back to the appearance of those monsters, I'm scared to death!" ”

Qiao Benliang could also understand the mood of this good friend, knowing that he was a frightened person, and he would inevitably be angry about this matter, so he had to enlighten: "Little fatty, have you forgotten the purpose of our trip?" We are not here for sightseeing, on the way to the adventure, we will definitely encounter a lot of unknown resistance, give up, can only be regarded as giving up halfway, facing the edge, regardless of success or failure are heroes! If you're scared, stay in camp and don't go anywhere! ”

Chen Jie panicked all of a sudden, he tugged at the corner of Qin Kexin's clothes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Qin, you—can you stay and do it with me—be a companion?" ”

didn't think about it, but was ridiculed by Qin Kexin: "Don't mind!" Don't call me an old man! I'm not as old as you, so I should call you big brother. Look at you, you're fat, but you're a coward, I can't learn from you, I'm going to follow everyone to the Peacock Castle. ”

"Oh well! I'm not going to be this coward, I'm going with you! Chen Jie gritted his teeth and sighed secretly, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, it seemed that the minority had to obey the majority.

The six of them each got into two cars and set off towards the Peacock Castle.

Qiao Benliang drove his off-road vehicle to lead the way in front, the fat man Chen Jie sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Luo Fang, the beautiful assistant of the Institute of Paleontology, sat in the back; The other car was Yao Chunsheng who took the steering wheel, and Xu Lai and Qin Kexin were sitting in the car.

After a while, he came to the vicinity of the Peacock Castle, Qiao Benliang flashed the lights of the car behind, signaled not to go any further, and slowly stopped in a sand dune area.

Six people got out of the car. Yao Chunsheng walked up to Qiao Benliang and asked, "Little Qiao, is this what you called "Peacock Castle?" "I look like a sand dune, huh?"

Qiao Benliang said with a smile: "Professor Yao, these are indeed some sand dunes, the Peacock Castle is just ahead, and it hasn't arrived yet!" ”

Yao Chunsheng asked with some puzzlement: "Why don't you just drive the car to the Peacock Castle?" And what about the choice to stop here? ”

Qiao Benliang replied: "There are two reasons, one is that the car parked in the Peacock Castle is too eye-catching, and it is easy to expose our whereabouts; Second, it is safest to walk in the past, which is conducive to observing the movement of monsters in the dark. ”

Yao Chunsheng's mouth made an "um" sound, and he asked again: "Then let's go over now, shall we?" Qiao Benliang said: "Everyone bring self-defense equipment and flashlights, and in the process of walking on the road, it is best not to speak or make a noise!" Let's go, Professor Yao! ”

At this time, Luo Fang came over and whispered to Qiao Benliang: "Little Qiao, last night we only cared about running for our lives, and left that Brother Sun alone in the Peacock Castle, I don't know if he is alive or dead now?" ”

Qiao Benliang sighed and said with some sadness: "Alas...! I hope God bless Brother Sun to turn evil into good fortune and escape! Having said that, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that in the face of those monsters, no matter how high Sun Houzi's kung fu was, it would be difficult to have a chance to live.

Then, he whispered to Luo Fang: "Assistant Luo, you must pay attention to precautions, and I will do my best to protect your personal safety!" ”

After Luo Fang heard this, her heart couldn't help but warm.

The place where the car was parked was nearly two kilometers away from the Peacock Castle, but it took six people more than ten minutes to reach their destination. "Professor Yao, look—the biggest sand dune in front of you is the Peacock Castle!" Qiao Benliang pointed to the sand-covered city wall and said to Yao Chunsheng.

Because the surrounding light was too dim, only a huge black shadow could be faintly discerned, Yao Chunsheng subconsciously turned on the flashlight and shone it towards that place: "Xiao Qiao, isn't this a big sand dune, where can you see that it is a peacock castle?" ”

Qiao Benliang said: "This ancient city has been invaded by wind and sand for many years, and it is completely buried by sand grains, and it is difficult to identify its original appearance, even in the daytime, you can only see a rough outline. Professor Yao, please rest assured, I will never fool you, this is definitely Peacock Castle! ”

Yao Chunsheng nodded suspiciously, he was still not at ease, and asked Luo Fang again: "Assistant Luo, didn't you come to this place last night?" So, are you sure this is the "Peacock Castle"? ”

Luo Fang replied: "Professor Yao, you also know, when I followed them here, it was already night, and I couldn't see it very clearly, but in terms of Xiao Qiao's character, he wouldn't lie to us!" ”

Qiao Benliang didn't speak again, but walked quickly to a sand dune next to him, and exerted all his strength...... He climbed to the top of the dune, pulled out his flashlight, and shone it in all directions.

There is no body of Sun Houzi. Qiao Benliang ran to the edge of a collapse, looked at it carefully, and suddenly, found a piece of charred cloth falling from the sand, and he hurriedly picked it up.

This should be the clothes worn by Sun Houzi, it is not difficult to imagine that the monster's mouth will breathe fire, directly vaporizing Sun Houzi's whole person, leaving only fragments of clothes.

His throat choked, he couldn't help crying sadly, a few tears rolled down his eyes, seeing the truth when he was in danger, Sun Houzi stayed alone to resist the attack of the monster in order to cover their retreat, but unfortunately suffered an accident.

Qiao Benliang held the piece of cloth in his hand, and slowly walked to the other end of the sand dune with some staggering, and slowly slid downward. After falling to the ground, he staggered and couldn't stand steadily, Chen Jie hurriedly approached and hugged his waist with his shoulder, and asked, "Brother Liang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qiao Benliang raised the piece of cloth in his hand, and said in a sad voice: "Brother Sun, he-he is no longer there, I'm afraid he let those monsters burn to death!" ”

"Ahh When Chen Jie heard this, he was also sad, and cried bitterly: "Brother Sun, it's all my fault, I dragged you so hard that you couldn't leave, and you lost your life in vain!" ……”

Luo Fang came over to comfort the two: "Xiao Qiao, fat man, no one wants this to happen, but the matter has come to this, don't be too sad!" ”

At this moment, a burst of screaming was heard in the distance, followed by a strong wind, which swept the sand and flew all over the sky.

Qin Kexin exclaimed: "What's the matter? How can it be windy? I just heard a strange scream, are those monsters about to appear? ”

Qiao Benliang couldn't help but shudder, calmed down and listened carefully, and then, he hurriedly waved his hand to everyone and shouted, "Don't stand here, everyone, quickly hide behind the sand dune!" ”
