Chapter 20: Ghost Soldiers

"Hahahaha......"

Lacey said that I wanted to laugh, and even Zifei glanced at me, but I suddenly thought of Bai Xue and asked me angrily with a red face-Li Xiaoshuai, you really want to learn to be a Taoist priest with Master Mao!

I was in a bad mood again, so I picked up a dead branch and played with the fire there.

The haven that Laixi chose to camp is very good, there is no quicksand, the fire will not blow on people, and he has eaten lightly for a few days, so he misses Laixi's slate moxibustion rabbit meat.

Half an hour passed like this, and the boss bench had not returned, and I kept looking around, but I didn't see a trace of flashlight.

"Lacey, it's been half an hour." I asked uneasily.

"Rest assured, everyone has a compass and a map." That being said, Lacey frowned.

I also took out my pipa and started playing, and I have recently learned the song that woke me up very well, and I really like the song "Hometown" by Xu Wei. And I have another purpose for playing at this time, in case the mines and the boss's stool are lost, I can rely on the harmonica sound to find the direction.

The harmonica sounded in the silence of the desert, and after I had played several songs, there was still no response.

"Lacey," I looked at Lacey again, "let's go find it." ”

"Wait." Lacey said in a deep voice.

"It's been an hour." I said anxiously.

Lacey's face was also scorched, but he still said, "Wait." ”

I was anxious, "What if they are in danger?" ”

Lacey said calmly: "Xiaoshuai, you can't go out to look for it, they obviously have encountered something, now go to find it, one is that we don't know the direction, and the other one, they brought guns when they left, if they are in danger or need rescue, we can hear the gunshots, and now, we don't even hear the gunshots, now we have to wait." ”

"When will that be?" I asked.

"If they don't come back, wait until dawn to find them." Lacey Road.

Yes, no matter what happens, we can hear the gunshots as soon as they go off. So we waited until dawn, and they still hadn't returned.

As soon as it was dawn, I couldn't wait and had to go find them. I suddenly stood up, but suddenly fell again, and my feet remained in the cold for a long time, as if they were frozen.

After a long time, the feeling of numbness came, Lacey kept pushing and softening me, Zifei also brought hot water, and I recovered after a few sips.

"Leave the baggage, bring the water, and we'll go." Lacey said.

After a brief tidying up, the three of us left a note in the tent and walked with crutches in the direction where they had disappeared from yesterday's boss stool.

We took two camels with us, and we had to bring enough supplies for six people to support us for three days, and of course enough water and rations in the tents.

The desert was quicksand, and with occasional gusts of wind, there were no footprints to be seen along the way, and we could only walk in the normal direction, speculating about how the mine boss would go around the sand dunes and which way to go.

"There are no dead trees along the way, they have gone a little far." Zifei said.

Lacey looked around as well and nodded.

"Landminesβ€”β€”β€”β€”, 10,000 camelsβ€”β€”β€”β€”" I cried out loudly.

There was no movement, and it was still a barren desert.

I didn't see the black smoke for help, they seemed to disappear out of thin air.

"I'll shoot them and see if they can respond." I asked Lacey.

Lacey shook her head and said, "If you want to respond, you should respond early." ”

Yes, whether it was shooting or burning smoke for help, so far nothing has been touched, and there is even a lighting gun on the mine.

Are they all dead? Too fast to shoot and die?

I was suddenly so scared, scared to walk around when I suddenly saw the bodies of the three of them.

On the way, we passed by several exposed ancient tombs, and I even reached in to look for them, and there was a time in Wuxi Coffin Mountain where everyone else was inexplicably put into the coffin. But there were still no three, not even anything they had left behind or discarded.

After another half an hour of walking, we found that the direction we had taken turned into the oasis.

In other words, according to the normal way of walking in the desert, they will enter the oasis, unless they go against the correct way and forcibly climb the sand dunes from the leeward side of the dunes.

But normal people will not climb the sand dunes in a straight line, because the leeward side of the dunes is full of floating sand, which is not only difficult to walk, but also deep in the sand, and even slides down halfway up.

It seems that we have only one goal left - to enter the oasis.

Hopefully they're in the oasis.

……

The oasis is getting closer and bigger, and we all seem to smell the faint fragrance, and the air around us is no longer so dry. The lips and nostrils were much more comfortable, but at this moment, a sudden gust of wind and sand rushed towards me.

There was a lot of yellow sand in the wind, and we had to duck our heads and hide behind and beside the camels.

The wind and sand passed in just a dozen seconds, and when I opened my eyes again, the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

In the vast desert, an ancient city-like post station is stationed in the center, and the ancient wind of Qin bricks and Han tiles is rippling.

There is also a layer of loess retaining earth wall around the post station, like the outer city of the post station, and the city gate is a fence made of bowl-like branches to act as a city gate.

It's like we've traveled back in time to ancient times in an instant.

Crossed over?

I don't know, I turned my head and looked, Lacey, Zifei, and the two camels in their hands were there.

There are also some ruined loess walls around us, and it seems that the place with the fence is the inner city, and the ruined city wall around us is the outer city. The inner and outer cities made of loess are not tall enough, and it seems that they not only block the wind and sand, but are mainly used by people to prevent bandits and thieves in those days.

Just when we were surprised, suddenly the yellow sand under a broken earth wall seven meters away in front of us on the right flew up, and three figures came out of the ground, which were the boss's bench mine and ten thousand camels.

I was about to scream at the sudden surprise, but Lacey's mouth was covered.

The boss's stool also rushed to us with a nervous expression, and even made this silent gesture, rushed over and dragged us and the camels behind the earthen wall.

There were two holes in the earthen wall, and the mines gestured to us to look through the holes.

From the hole, you can clearly see the antique post station, as well as the inner city outline, at this moment, three small tornadoes suddenly blew after the post station, each tornado diameter is about two meters wide, the strange thing is that the three tornadoes are so close but do not interfere with each other, wrapped in yellow sand along the inner city outline all the way to the outside of the city outline, to the corner of the city outline of the three tornadoes actually turned at a right angle.

The tornado was getting closer and closer, and there seemed to be something in the tornado, something dark.

I turned my eyes to look at Lacey, who was already looking solemn.

What is it?

I looked at it again carefully, and there was a figure in each of the small tornadoes, as if he was still holding a broadsword, a spear, and a halberd.

When the tornado blew in front of the fence-like city gate, the tornado was much smaller, and the figures wrapped in it immediately became clear.

What kind of figure is that, wrapped in the tornado are clearly three skeleton generals in tattered armor.

Ghost soldiers!
