Tang Feng retreated in horror, but because his body was lying on the quicksand and he was unable to move, he had to instinctively roll sideways and roll to the other side, but when he looked up, there was another head in front of him, and Tang Feng's heart seemed to be grabbed by something, and he was terrified! But Tang Feng calmed down a little, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could there be a head under the quicksand? Even if it's a real human head, it's long overdue to turn into bones?

Tang Feng was bold, fixed his eyes and looked, the "human head" in front of him had a nose and eyes, lifelike, but after all, it was not a real human head, but the head of a Buddha statue, the Buddha statue was painted with gold, but most of them fell off, and some places even revealed the mud tire inside, it seems that this is a very old thing, and then look carefully, Tang Feng quickly judged that this is the Buddha statue of the Western Xia period according to the artistic style of the Buddha statue.

"What is this? So scary? "Han Jiang, they also bumped into these Buddha statues.

"It's a Buddha statue! Buddha statue from the Tangut period. Tang Feng explained.

"How did the Buddha statue run into the quicksand, and what about the body?" Han Jiang was puzzled.

Tang Feng didn't know where the bodies of these Buddha statues had gone for a while, but he carefully observed the Buddha statues in front of him, and found that there seemed to be something under the Buddha's head, which should be the body of the Buddha statues, but how could these Buddha statues fall into the quicksand?

At this time, when Liang Yuan heard that these "human heads" were Buddha statues, instead of being afraid, he became happy, "How is it?" I'm not wrong, the reason why this canyon is called Futu Gorge must be related to Buddha statues. ”

Tang Feng also lost his temper, "Even if you are right, then please explain how these Buddha statues have run into the quicksand?" ”

"How do I know, isn't this what you're supposed to study?"

Tang Feng didn't argue with Liang Yuan, and continued to climb forward, he found that there were not so many bones here, but there were still a few horse bones and human bones scattered among these various Buddha statues, suddenly, Tang Feng found that a rusty saber was actually cut in the middle of a Buddha's head, and the Buddha's head was split in half from the head, but it was not completely cracked, and the saber was still left in the middle of the Buddha's head, shocking!

Tang Feng saw this, he couldn't help but tremble, what kind of hatred is this, someone actually went to cut down the Buddha statue, Tang Feng found that a pile of scattered bones appeared next to this Buddha statue, he identified it was a horse and a person's bones, among the scattered white bones, there were traces of saddles and bows and arrows, could this be Genghis Khan's army back then?

Tang Feng thought nonsense and continued to move forward, and climbed forward for another fifty or sixty meters, Tang Feng felt that the white sand here was no longer as soft as just now, he tried to stand up, and sure enough, this place had gotten rid of the quicksand area, and the sand under his feet was relatively hard.

Everyone stood up and looked back, the camel that had fallen into the quicksand was already dying, with its last breath left, and it had no strength to move anymore, but to wait for death to come, and it twisted its neck in despair, which had not yet been swallowed up by the white sand, and glanced at its companion...... The camel that had not fallen into the quicksand was still neighing, restlessly stepping on its hooves back and forth, Han Jiang saw this, took out his gun, and wanted to end the camel's pain as soon as possible, but was stopped by Makarov, "Don't shoot, in case you ...... alarmed"

Han Jiang understood what Makarov meant, so he had to put the gun away again, only to hear the last neighing of the camel, then lowered his head, everything seemed to be calm again, and the other end no longer neighed, but was unwilling to leave for a long time.

"What a poor camel!" The corners of Liang Yuan's eyes were a little moist.

"Alright, let's see our way out!" Han Jiang looked up at the sky above his head, there was no sunlight shining into the canyon, and the sun had gone west.

"There seems to be a word here...... "Yelena seemed to have found something on the rock face beside her.

Tang Feng walked over, and sure enough, a few black handwriting were faintly revealed on the white rock wall, "It's Xixia script, but it's not very clear." Tang Feng recognized it for a long time, and finally read out a few words on the rock wall word by word: "E-build-float-butcher-Zen-temple." ”

"Ha, there's a temple here!" Liang Yuan was a little proud.

Tang Feng turned around and looked at the canyon here, although it was much wider than the canyon in front, it was only a dozen meters wide, building a temple in such a small space? And there is quicksand, the wind is weird, who will live here and practice? Thinking about it, Tang Feng suddenly appeared in front of his eyes The ancient map behind the jade interstitial screen, he hurriedly flipped out the photo to check, and sure enough, a name was marked not far from the south of Beique - Quicksand Dark River, and then it was noted in small characters "Be careful that there is a Futu Temple here".

"Futu Temple? Quicksand Dark River...... It seems that this is the quicksand dark river marked on the ancient map, and we are taking the right route! It's just that how can there be a temple here......"

Tang Feng was talking, and suddenly Yelena made another discovery on the rock wall, "There seem to be words behind this, and there are quite a few!" ”

Tang Feng hurriedly checked, behind those few big characters, a few lines of small characters faintly appeared, or Xixia text, "Quicksand eats people, there are many unjust ghosts and wild ghosts here, whenever at this time, the yin wind roars angrily, miserable and miserable, so he respects the order of King Hao, builds a temple to town, and spends all the souls." ”

"I see!" After Tang Feng finished reading this paragraph, he muttered to himself.

"What the hell, soul, what do you mean?" Han Jiang asked impatiently.

"This inscription says the reason for the construction of the Futu Temple, because there is quicksand here, and the quicksand often eats people, and whenever the yin wind roars, the party people think that these lonely souls and wild ghosts who are swallowed by the quicksand come out to make trouble, so they are ordered by Yuan Hao to build a Futu Temple here, which is used to suppress these lonely souls and wild ghosts, and also to surpass these dead souls." Tang Feng explained.

"And what about the bones we saw?" Han Jiang asked again.

"Judging from the relics of these bones, they should be the Mongol army, but I don't know if they are Genghis Khan's army or the Mongol army that later attacked Hanhai Mi City."

"So these Buddha statues stuck in the quicksand are the Buddha statues of Futu Temple?"

"I think so, the Dangxiang people put these Buddha statues in the quicksand, and when the Mongolian iron cavalry burst into the valley, because of the dim light here, coupled with nervousness, they did not distinguish between the real and the fake, and regarded these Buddha statues as enemies, so they rushed straight towards these 'enemies', and most of them did not approach yet." The enemy', then fell into the quicksand, occasionally a few cavalry rushed to the Buddha statue, and even waved their knives to cut down on the Buddha statue, but the final result can be imagined, when they found that it was only the Buddha statue, it was too late, even the people and horses were ruthlessly swallowed by the quicksand. Tang Feng's eyes saw another magnificent war scene.

Everyone packed up and continued to move forward, the stone wall in front of them was as Han Jiang said, only to find that the canyon had turned around here again, everyone walked in a row, turned this corner, Tang Feng found that the canyon here began to become narrow again, the sky above his head became darker and darker, and it seemed that night would soon fall.

Another bend, after turning over, the canyon suddenly widened, and the height of the rock walls on both sides gradually decreased, Tang Feng obviously felt that his heartbeat began to speed up again, he had a premonition that they were about to get out of this terrible canyon, but he was not sure what would await them ahead, maybe even more terrifying demons!

When the sun set, the group finally walked out of the Futu Gorge, showing in front of them the vast sea of sand, the sea of white sand, although nothing more terrible appeared, but everyone wrote disappointment on their faces, because this boundless sea of white sand is perhaps the most terrible thing.

After all the people put it together, they decided to camp at Taniguchi tonight and conquer this sea of sand after dawn tomorrow. Han Jiang arranged for Yelena, Tang Feng and himself to be on duty all night, everyone was too tired, no one was cranky this night, they just wanted to hurry up and sleep a little longer.

Tang Feng was in charge of the first half of the night, in the early hours of the morning, Han Jiang came to replace him, he fell asleep, the sun was still blazing during the day, but the desert at night was very cold, Tang Feng slept until dawn, he was awakened by the cold, he felt cold, so he sat up, at this time, it was Yelena on duty, Tang Feng just wanted to say hello to Yelena, suddenly, he heard a heart-rending scream, Yelena also heard it, instinctively raised the gun, and everyone else was awakened.

"What's the situation?" Han Jiang rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked.

"Like...... It's like a scream! Tang Feng carefully recalled the voice just now.

"Did you hear me right? Not a beast? ”

"Probably not!"

"It's the cry of a man! And it came from the Futu Gorge. Yelena affirmed.

"Are you sure?" Han Jiang asked rhetorically.

"Of course, I can't be mistaken." Yelena said with great certainty.

"All get up and get ready to fight!" Han Jiang stood up and quickly packed his things.

The five people packed up, except for Liang Yuan, Tang Feng, Han Jiang, Yelena and Makarov, all of whom held guns and aimed them at Taniguchi, but they guarded Gukou for almost half an hour, and no one came out, Tang Feng listened attentively, "There doesn't seem to be any sound inside." ”

Tang Feng rubbed his arms that were already numb, Han Jiang and Yelena also put down their guns, only Makarov was still motionless holding his gun, staring at the dark Taniguchi.

Yelena and Han Jiang persuaded Makarov to take a rest, but Makarov was unmoved, "What kind of damn guy is this, howling in such a throat that I can't sleep!" Han Jiang cursed.

Yelena suddenly said, "Do you notice anything different? ”

"What's the difference?" Han Jiang and Tang Feng looked around.

"Like...... It seems to be foggy! Liang Yuan whispered behind them.

"yes, why is it foggy again!" Yelena looked worriedly at the sea of sand behind her.

At this moment, the vast sea of sand in the night has been shrouded in fog, and the white mist is rapidly advancing towards the mouth of the valley.

Until the dawn of the day, there was no movement in the Futu Gorge, but the fog was getting bigger and bigger, but it was not cloudy today, and after a while, the sun came out of the clouds, and the fog seemed to dissipate.

Han Jiang looked at the sky, "Today should be a good day, there shouldn't be such a big fog." Let's wait a while, maybe the fog will clear in a moment. ”

Everyone had no choice but to stand by, and sure enough, as the sun rose, the fog began to dissipate, the temperature in the desert rose rapidly, and everyone was already sweating, "This damn day, it's either fog or high temperature!" Han Jiang scolded.

"No, Han Jiang, don't you think the temperature is rising too fast?" Makarov suddenly said this.

"Too fast?" They calmed down for a while, "Yes, it's much hotter than the other day, and the temperature has risen so fast in just an hour since dawn!" Tang Feng wiped the sweat on his head and said.

"Look! What is that? Liang Yuan suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone hurriedly looked up in the direction of Liang Yuan's finger, and as the fog dissipated, on the white rock wall above their heads, the blazing sunlight shone on a huge pattern, which occupied almost the entire rock wall.

"Ahh Tang Feng exclaimed.

"Why didn't we notice last night......" Yelena recalls last night.

"This time it's the red totem!" Han Jiang also exclaimed.

"Nope! Be...... It's blood! That totem is bleeding! Makarov shouted in horror.

Bleeding totems?! Everyone was frightened, and the blazing sun shone on the red totem, and drops of bright red like blood slowly dripped down from the white rock wall, making people palpitate.

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the stone wall, suddenly, a group of people rushed out of the Futu Gorge, a group of people in black, these people couldn't help but say, raised their guns and shot at Tang Feng and them, "Be careful!" Tang Feng screamed and threw Liang Yuan to the ground, and the two rolled down to a sand dune, Han Jiang, Yelena, and Makarov also fell to the ground in time, "These guys have finally appeared!" Han Jiang said hatefully.

"But...... But why are there so many of them? Aren't there only four? Tang Feng found that dozens of black-clothed people rushed out of the valley.

"It seems that the general is pouring out of the nest this time!" Han Jiang whispered.

In the face of powerful firepower, Han Jiang and Tang Feng were powerless to fight back at all, so they could only hide under the sand dunes, not even daring to raise their heads, but fortunately there was fog, and the thick fog covered Tang Feng and them well.

It is also strange to say that when the group of black-clothed people rushed out of Futu Gorge, the original blazing sunlight was obscured by the clouds, and the fog that was about to dissipate began to thicken again, obviously the fog affected the shooting of the black-clothed people, they stopped shooting, and then, everyone heard a familiar voice, "Ivan, Yelena, Han Jiang, Tang Feng, don't hide, we have surrounded you, you can't run away today!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke, "It's Stepkin!" Makarov heard this voice and whispered.

"It's this damn guy again!" Yelena aimed her gun at the location where the sound came from, but the fog made it impossible for him to see Stephkin clearly.

"I know this place is making you feel bad!" Stephkin spoke again, "We can work with you to find Hanhai Mi City together, regardless of our previous suspicions, and then we can split it in half, what do you think?" ”

Still no one spoke, Makarov was also looking at the direction where Stepkin's voice came from, suddenly, the fog in front of him dissipated a little, he vaguely saw Stepkin, Yelena also saw Stepkin, she wanted to shoot, but Yelena knew that if she missed, she would expose them, just when he hesitated, Makarov suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Yelena, do you see the person next to Stepkin?" ”

"Who's that? It's too far away to see clearly! ”

"Looks like the heads of this guy!"

"You mean—General?" Yelena exclaimed.

"I don't know, but ......"

Before Makarov finished speaking, there was a string of bullets on the sand in front of him, Makarov and Yelena hurriedly lowered their heads, and the sand particles kicked off by the bullets splashed them. Stephkin stopped talking, and the black-clad man's firepower began to grow stronger again.

Everyone summed up, in the face of such a powerful firepower of the enemy, they couldn't stand still, and they couldn't all get together, so Han Jiang, Yelena, and Makarov decided to go out from different directions, and Tang Feng was responsible for staying to protect Liang Yuan.

Han Jiang, Yelena, and Makarov dispersed, and after a while, Tang Feng, who stayed in place, heard gunshots ring out everywhere, and his heart tightened suddenly, in this ghost place, Han Jiang, Yelena, and Makarov can't be fine, otherwise everything will fall short!

After a while, the gunfire seemed to be quieter, and Tang Feng couldn't help but feel sorry for himself and Liang Yuan, but fortunately, the fog was getting bigger and bigger, and he pulled Liang Yuan to hide behind a sand dune.

The dense fog completely surrounded them, and there was no one on the opposite side, and the man in black couldn't see them, but Tang Feng couldn't see the enemy either, if any guy suddenly broke out of the dense fog...... Thinking of this, Tang Feng clenched the gun in his hand tighter!

After about half an hour, the gunfire gradually became quieter, and then it simply stopped, and there was no sound among the empty sand dunes. Tang Feng stood up boldly, the thick fog had no intention of dissipating, he wanted to shout out to Han Jiang and them, but he didn't dare, so he stood on the sand dunes in a daze.

After a while, Tang Feng heard a slight noise, it was the sound of footsteps, he and Liang Yuan hid behind the sand dunes, and they didn't get out of their heads until they saw that it was Han Jiang, and five minutes later, Yelena also returned.

"How's that, what's the catch?" Tang Feng asked.

"The fog is too big to see clearly!" Both shook their heads.

"What about the old horse?" Tang Feng asked with concern.

Han Jiang gasped and looked at Yelena, Yelena also looked at Han Jiang, the two of them looked at each other at a loss, and after about ten minutes, they didn't see Makarov come back, everyone began to worry, Han Jiang said worriedly: "Why won't the old horse come for so long?" Can't hear the gunshots anymore? ”

"Yes! Where can he go? Tang Feng frowned.

"The three of us scattered at the beginning, fighting on our own, so ......" Yelena looked around anxiously, but she couldn't see anything.

"Old horse, he ...... He won't be out of ......" Liang Yuan was halfway through speaking, and was glared at by Tang Feng, and shrank back, but everyone already understood what she meant.

"Yelena, I remember when I was separated from you, the old horse was still with you! Think about it again, where did you separate? Han Jiang reminded Yelena.

"Han, after we separated from you, it didn't take long for my father and I to be separated, it was all fog, I really can't think of it......" Yelena was so anxious that her eyes were a little moist, Han Jiang gently hugged Yelena, "Don't be too anxious, he has come over with so many winds and waves, and this time it will be fine." ”

Yelena lay on Han Jiang's shoulder and thought about it, and suddenly, she remembered something, "By the way, when my father broke up with me, he was going to catch that person." ”

"Whom to catch?" Han Jiang was confused.

"It's the guy next to Stepkin, before, my father told me that he saw the man next to Stephkin like the head of a man in black! Think about it, who is the head of the man in black? ”

"General!" The three of them said in unison.

Yelena nodded with tears in her eyes, "I think that's what my father thinks. ”

"The general is finally revealing his true face!" Han Jiang became a little excited.

Tang Feng said: "The general won't show up so easily!" ”

Han Jiang wanted to say something, but at this moment, some sounds came from the thick fog. Everyone listened carefully, "Someone's coming?" Tang Feng said vigilantly.

Han Jiang and Yelena both raised their guns, "It's like two people!" Yelena said suddenly.

"Two people? Isn't it an old horse? Tang Feng exclaimed.

Han Jiang made a silent gesture at them, and everyone closed their mouths, held their breath, and waited quietly for the two people to come out of the thick fog

Tang Feng, Han Jiang, and Yelena all pointed their three guns in the direction where the footsteps came from, Tang Feng clearly heard his heartbeat, and the sound of the footsteps with knots, who could it be? Just as his mind was full of thoughts, Makarov raised his gun and escorted a man out of the thick fog.

Seeing that Makarov was safe and sound, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at that person, who was in his fifties, with a high nose and deep eyes, blond hair and blue eyes, and at first glance he was a Westerner, who was this person? Is he a general?
