At this moment, I was really nervous, and I had a very bad feeling. In such a place, if you suddenly find something from your companion, it is actually a bad omen.

What's going on? Didn't Silly Hai say that Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten are safe and have been sent back to Daya?

In my judgment, the hat does not suddenly emerge from under the sand for no reason, something must appear with the hat on it.

My nerves immediately tightened like a bowstring, my body was lowered, and the soles of my feet kicked the ground tightly, ready to pounce at any moment.

After the hat came out of the sand, it was still trembling slightly, and the people watching it were anxious. But until the situation is clear, I can't rush over.

Swish......

Just as I looked anxiously at the hat that was moving back and forth, the hat suddenly came out of the sand, and now it was not completely dark, and the sun was still setting, and by a golden afterglow, I saw a swarthy thing underneath the hat.

What is that?

In many parts of the desert, there is no water, no vegetation can grow, and without vegetation, the slightly larger animals cannot survive, and after we enter the desert, we basically have not seen any wild animals.

Swish......

I stared intently as the swarthy thing swooped forward with its hat on it. As soon as I ran like this, I recognized that it was a very large mouse.

The swarthy rat was more than twice the size of the rat he usually saw, fat and strong, and ran very fast. I don't know if there are voles or anything like that in the desert area, but when I saw that Ning Kitten's hat was a mouse, my head was dizzy.

What the hell is going on?

I hesitated, grabbed a folding shovel, and chased after it. If you're in the city, it's very difficult to catch up with a mouse, so just find a corner and it can get in. But in such a flat and vast desert, it has no other hiding place than to drill into the sand.

The rat ran very fast in front, and I chased it very fast in the back, about three or four hundred meters away, and this rat wore a hat and sank directly into the sand. By the time I ran over, I couldn't see it anymore.

I took a shovel and slapped around for a while, but nothing happened.

I was at a loss, panicked, and I was afraid that something would happen to Ning Kitten. The first two times I went to Danmeng, the three of them had the experience of coming back to life, but this place is still far from Danmeng, if something really happens, I guess there is no room for "resurrection".

Just when I was at a loss, the disappeared rat suddenly came out several meters in front of me on the left.

I was worried that I couldn't find it, but this time, as soon as the big mouse appeared, I immediately chased after it.

In this way, it ran in front, I chased after it, and chased it out three or four hundred meters away. The big rat swerved in front of me, and I didn't stand still when I chased after it, and I skewed to the side.

Bang!!!

I could feel myself stepping on the air, the sand seemed to be empty, and as soon as I lost my balance during the run, I immediately fell into the collapsed sand.

Underneath the sand, it seemed to be a big hole that was sloping down, and I couldn't help but roll down with the quicksand, turning upside down and dizzy. Fortunately, there was sand everywhere, and when I managed to stabilize my body, I didn't suffer any injuries.

I shook the sand from my hair, took out my flashlight, turned it on, and took a picture of it. I don't know if it's a manhole, but I can at least be sure that there must be a human element in this hole. Without renovation and reinforcement, it would not have been possible to have such a sloping cavity in the sand layer.

There was no sound around, and when I shone a flashlight on it, I felt like a very thick tube in the hollow I was in.

The tube seems to be made of clay, and the two pieces of pottery are semicircular, buckled together, forming a hollow cylinder. This kind of pottery pipe was used for sewers in Europe and in the interior of the country a long time ago. Those ancient cities must have a relatively complete drainage and sewage system, otherwise they will be flooded by sewage after living for a few years.

It's just that the pipe I see now is very large, and it should be buried obliquely in the sand after it has been spliced.

I shone a flashlight at my feet, and although there was a lot of sand, I could still make out that there was more than one hollow pottery pipe with a thick diameter, and there was obviously a pottery pipe under my feet, but I stopped at the place where the two pipes met, otherwise, I would have to continue to fall down the pipe.

In my mind, I quickly made up a picture: if there were many such pipes, then one by one inclined deep into the sand, then so many pipes were actually a passage to the underground.

I shone my flashlight downward, and it was so dark that I didn't know how long the tube had stretched.

This was a very unexpected discovery, I suffered from no clues, as long as I caught a few sporadic clues, I would not give up.

But I wasn't reckless, now I'm the only one left, and if something happens, there's no one to help, so I have to be careful.

I slowly cleared the sand and climbed up from here. By the time I came out, the big rat with the hat was gone. I looked around the neighborhood and found nothing.

On my way back to camp, I was nervous, and it was a good thing that I had made a little unexpected discovery. But Ning Kitten's hat has been dangling in my head all the time.

I went back to the camp and immediately packed up my things, and it was getting dark. I wasn't very hungry, but in order to have enough energy, I temporarily opened another canned beef. After eating and drinking, I took the camel to the place where I had just found the pottery pipe, and there was only six or seven hundred meters in the middle, which was not far, but when I reached a few dozen meters away from the pottery pipe, the camel suddenly refused to go.

Camels have a docile temperament, and Xiao Mao and I learned a little bit about how to control camels, but now we can't use any techniques, and the camels just refuse to go. Not only did he refuse to go, but he lay down on the sand, his head on the sand.

I didn't feel right, and I panicked if there was another sandstorm. But the temperature changes are not drastic these days, and there are no strong winds.

I didn't force the camel anymore and looked around. When the full moon is in the sky, the moonlight falls like water, and the visibility is quite high.

After about seven or eight minutes, I suddenly saw several shadows from the northwest. It wasn't a human shadow, it looked like a dog.

There were five regiments of shadows, and after appearing from the northwest, they ran unhurriedly. I was very uncomfortable, and immediately remembered the sand wolf that Xiaomao told me before leaving.

It's not that I didn't take Xiaomao's words to heart, but in this kind of barren land, there will be no larger animals like sand wolves. So, I've never been wary of wild animals like sand wolves, and when the five sand wolves do show up, I'm stupid.

It's definitely too late to run now, there's no way I'm going to outrun the sand wolf. I immediately pulled out my knife and spat it, if we really met on a narrow road, then there was no other way but to fight hard.

The five sand wolves have been moving at an unhurried pace, and at first, I felt as if they were moving at a constant pace, conserving their strength. But the sand wolves ran nearly ten meters, and I suddenly found that they didn't seem to be conserving their strength, but really couldn't run.

They must have come from a far, far away place, and it was not suitable for them to live, but I don't know what these sand wolves are doing when they travel long distances to this place where even ants can't survive.

My heart was pounding all the time, but the five sand wolves stopped in unison a few dozen meters away. I squinted, and if I was not mistaken, the place where they stopped was exactly where the huge clay pipe was.

The five sand wolves lay on the sand, lying neatly and quietly. It is like five devout believers performing a five-body bow in front of the gods they believe in.

The more I looked, the more confused I became, and my mind began to think crankily, I thought, these five sand wolves came here from a long way to worship in front of the pottery pipe?

What's in the deepest part of the terracotta tube?

The sand wolf lay still on its stomach, and I didn't dare to move, for at least half an hour, the whole sand seemed to fall into a dull dead silence.

After about half an hour, the sand wolves lying on the ground slowly stood up.

When the ......

At such a terrible juncture, the camels around him didn't know why, and suddenly raised their heads and shook their necks. The camel bell around his neck rang immediately, and the muffled sound of the camel bell was heard far away in the silent moonlight. The five sand wolves that had just stood up immediately turned their heads to look this way.

In an instant, I even had the heart to die, and the old king was gone, and the camel came, and the most terrible thing was not the enemy, but the pig teammates. Pig teammates are more defenseless than cruel enemies, and they have no idea when they will suddenly have a convulsion.

A layer of cold sweat broke out in the palm of my hand holding the knife, and I was ready to give it a go. The camel, which had flipped its bell, pressed its head to the sand again, as if nothing had happened to it.

The sand wolves have been looking at this side, my heart is completely cold, since these five sand wolves appear together, it means that they live in groups, and the social animals will cooperate with the siege when hunting, even if I really want to fight hard, can I fight them?
