He must have been hiding something, and I frowned, thinking back to what he had found in that incomplete mural when he looked at the photograph. There must have been something else recorded in that legendary book, and it was the connection between the records and the photographs that made him dare to be sure that the ruins we were looking for were the ancient city of Qingya, and I knew these old professors too well, and if they were not sure in their hearts, they would never have said their speculations at will.

When I think about it, it's a little strange that the mural only has a dark shadow under the figure, but it's hard to say, after all, I can't see what it is, and he may have judged it based on the figure.

I thought, my heart tightened, since he saw something in the photo, it means that this photo is real, so when did that fake Ah Chuan go to the ancient city and take a photo?

The question went back to the original place, Professor Zhang didn't say more, but looked at the bonfire with a look of expectation, chewing the mutton, Ah Chuan didn't sit down more after gnawing the mutton, got up and turned to the distant rock to release water, I quickly followed, and asked him in a low voice: "Is the photo in his hand real?" ”

Ah Chuan turned his head to look at me and smiled jokingly: "I haven't been before, how can I know if it's true or not?" ”

"But you ......" I stopped halfway through my sentence, and the look he had when he saw the photograph was still in front of him, and it looked like he had seen something, and if he hadn't seen it, he would have picked it up and looked at it carefully, and he would never have glanced at it.

But I can't say, do you want to say that from what I know about you, you don't look normal? He would have laughed at me and asked me how I knew that was what he really was.

"Then do you think the Qingya Ancient City that Professor Zhang said is this ruin?" I changed the question, and I was able to set out a little bit of it.

Ah Chuan turned around and walked towards the camp and sneered: "Nonsense. ”

I looked at his back in a daze, he was very strange, he didn't know what he had said before, how could he be sure that the story was fake, or did he think the story was too bizarre to say that?

Only God can understand his mind, I sighed lightly, stood in the wind and felt cold, and walked a few steps quickly to the camp, Ah Chuan had already gotten into a tent, I got into the other, and turned my head to look at Lao Huang.

The students haven't dispersed yet, and Lao Huang should be guarding outside as a bodyguard, but I know that his mind is all on Xiao Qi, if it weren't for guarding Xiao Qi, he would have entered the tent a long time ago, and he wouldn't blink an eye even if those students died.

I zipped up the tent and lay down on my back, all kinds of bad feelings in my heart, I now had the idea of secretly running away to follow Uncle Yuan, but it is unrealistic to think about it, I don't know the route at all, if I really meet a wolf, I will definitely die again.

I was very tired after a day of walking, the tarpaulin was under the fine sand, soft and comfortable, much better than the previous expedition, I slept well, as soon as I woke up to hear Lao Huang snoring beside me like thunder.

I didn't even know when he entered the tent, and when I opened the tent and walked out, I saw Xiao Qi leaning against the rock last night, heard my voice, and immediately opened his eyes and glanced at me.

It was just dawn, four or five o'clock, the wind was much lighter than in the middle of the night, the bonfire was out, and there was curling smoke, and sporadic sparks flickered and dimmed, and a pot was set up on the campfire, and broth was boiling in it.

There are still a lot of snack bags scattered around the campfire, it seems that last night's barbecue party was quite long, and the broth should be cooked with the leftover yellow mutton from last night, exuding a burst of smell, but it is very fragrant.

"Yo, wake up early." As soon as I sat down, I heard Achuan's voice coming from behind, and I realized that his tent had long been wide open, and the man had turned out from behind the rocks in the distance.

He didn't go to the campfire, but went to the tent to call people, and pulled out all the sleepy-eyed students.

They wanted to wash, but Ah Chuan refused, the water should be saved, and the drink should be saved, how can they let it be wasted, they knew that we were all hard bones, so they didn't say much, and took a bowl to hold the broth by themselves.

Before the sun rose, we quickly packed up and continued on the road, last night in order to get to the Devil's Town route a little off, at this moment continue to travel west, soon leaving the Devil's City far behind.

The scorching sun was the same as yesterday, and the scenery in front of me was nothing new, everyone was walking listlessly with their heads down, today was hotter than yesterday, there was not a trace of wind in the huge desert, and I could feel the sweat running down my head, down my neck and into the collar, mixed with the wet sweat on my body, as if I had just been fished out of the water.

Even the hot wind is more comfortable than this, we seem to be back in the mountains of Guizhou, the humidity and heat are unstoppable, and the breathing is not smooth, but fortunately there are no disgusting insects, and the ground is too clean, as if we are the only life in this land.

These students are much more honest than yesterday, they should rest and rest, and they will gather quickly when they are ready to go, I can feel their reluctance, not out of psychology, but physically unable to keep up, they are young, it is okay to rest for one night, but the fatigue on Professor Zhang's face is becoming more and more obvious.

I'm also tired, but it's far from the limit, the Mo family's training is useful, Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi's footsteps are still calm, as if they have endless energy, I've known them for so long, and I can't detect where their limits are.

With the first day to take the lead, I always feel that time flies exceptionally, Xiao Qi is a little wrong today, and whispered to Ah Chuan several times, I was confused, seeing that the sky was getting dark, but it was still early before it was completely dark, but Ah Chuan let us camp early.

They were weird today, I set up my tent, and I saw them standing on the top of the sand dunes looking out to the west, and I climbed up the sand dune, and there was barely a little wind on the top of the dune, and with the wind came a small and chaotic sound.

The sound was very small, I fell down and put my ears to the ground and couldn't hear what it was, at this moment I saw Xiao Qi raise his hand to the air, I quickly looked, only to see a black shadow hovering in the air.

"What's that?" I was taken aback, I didn't expect there to be birds in the desert.

"Vultures, more than one." Ah Chuan opened his mouth, no emotion could be heard in his voice, but his face was very serious.

As he spoke, I saw another vulture rise into the air, and soon saw a third, which seemed to take off in the same place.

My heart beats wildly, vultures eat scavengers, there must be corpses in the place where they gather, but no one knows what corpses, but this location is on our way, and it is inevitable that people will have bad guesses.

That's where the advance troops walked, and could it be that they also hunted animals like yellow sheep to attract these scavenging birds of prey? I panicked and didn't make sure I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Lao Huang was attracted by us and walked up, he was much more shrewd than me, at this moment, when he saw the vulture's face, he immediately became gloomy, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Xiao Qi.

"It's not far away, we'll take a look when they're all asleep." Ah Chuan said.

"We're all gone, what if a wolf comes? These soft eggs are not enough to stuff people's teeth. Old Huang said.

"Heh, think too much," Ah Chuan smiled meaningfully, "The wolf does have it, but it can't attack us." ”

"What do you mean?" I blurted out, I always felt that there was something in Agawa's words.

Ah Chuan winked at me and didn't speak, I was shocked, Ah Chuan shouldn't be talking about Brother God, although he once raised a group of wolves, but after all, he raised them, the wolves here don't have owners, can he still speak wolf language?

It's too, I think I'm thinking too much, these wild animals are afraid of fire, as long as we light the bonfire vigorously, they naturally don't dare to approach, anyway, it's not far from there, it looks like it's only seven or eight hundred meters, let's go and go back quickly.

Lao Huang looked at us without saying a word, squinting and not knowing what he was thinking, but finally said in a tone of indignation: "Since we won't attack us, what will we keep vigil for?" ”

Lao Huang's words sounded distressed to Xiao Qi at first glance, but Ah Chuan didn't know if he saw through it, and replied: "People are much more terrible than wolves." ”

My heart tightened, they were guarding against fake Achuan, after all, I didn't know when they would act, if they followed us, it would be bad if they were defenseless.

When we returned to the camp, I would become extremely silent and unable to eat, but Ah Chuan and the others were as usual, without worrying at all, and finally waited until those people were in the tent to sleep, and we finally had time, and we turned on the flashlight and went west.

I was uneasy, and the wind was stronger at night, but I was so hot that I couldn't fly over it, and the road was not far, and I was there in less than twenty minutes, and I saw that the recesses of the sand dunes were like Shura fields.

Under the miserable white moonlight, three bloody skeletons were lying in the sand nest, which had been pecked by vultures without the slightest flesh and skin, only three skeletons remained, and the skeletons were incomplete, and the broken bones and flesh were scattered everywhere, and the eyes were dark red, and the thick bloody gas continued to rush into the nostrils.

It's a human, not an animal at all! I don't dare to look at it again, it's really miserable, I've seen so many corpses, broken corpses, rotting corpses, dried corpses, skeletons have all seen it, none of them are more horrific than now, those corpses are all old, far less terrifying than these three still fresh corpses.

The blood has dried up, the climate here is too dry, so there is no decay, Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi have already walked down the sand dunes to check, I don't want to see and be afraid, afraid that they belong to people I am familiar with, I looked at the surrounding sand, there is no wind all day today, the scene is well preserved, I can see a lot of messy traces on the ground, human, animal, mixed together almost indistinguishable, there are messy scratches everywhere, the traces of struggle are very obvious, there must have been an extremely tragic fight here.
