Rested for three days.

At Professor Chen's insistence, the archaeological team finally left the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye and continued along the direction of the Ziduyan River.

It's just that since it's a dark river, the ghost knows where it will turn.

So the group can only walk by feeling.

"Well, I haven't been here before, do you really want to go deeper?"

It seems that An Liman does not want to leave, and advises the archaeological team to return from time to time.

"Old man, you see, we have all gone so far, I believe that the Exquisite Ancient City should not be far away......"

Professor Chen patiently explained.

Coupled with Hu Bayi's help, An Liman had no choice but to rely on his own feelings and rich experience to continue to move forward with the group.

Two days later.

The group was tired of walking, so they found a sand dune and camped to rest.

Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng made an appointment to release the water......

Unexpectedly, there was an amazing discovery.

Near a small pile of sand, they found a swarthy hole.

It's not big, it's almost big enough for a person to get into.

But the two didn't dare to drill, so they hurriedly ran back to report the situation.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Hu Bayi immediately got up.

Others followed suit.

As a result, I shone it with a flashlight, and I was shocked to find that there was a sarcophagus inside.

However, the lid of the sarcophagus had been lifted, and there was nothing inside.

"This ...... What's going on? ”

Chu Jian asked in surprise.

"This is a thief hole ...... someone has beaten"

Hu Bayi is an expert, and he can see it at a glance.

He squatted down again and examined it carefully, and sniffed it, and his face became even more solemn.

"If my judgment is correct, this thief hole is definitely new, two or three days at most......"

"How do you judge?" Chu Jian asked suspiciously.

"First, if it was a thief hole that was played before, the hole would have been buried by yellow sand a long time ago. But there was no wind for two or three days, so we found out.

Second, this robbery hole was not dug, but someone used extremely clever blasting techniques to blast it in a directional manner.

There is still a faint smell of gunpowder smoke in this tomb. ”

The fat man was taken aback: "What? Old Hu, you're not kidding, are you? Someone was one step ahead? Who the hell is it that can come here so day and night? ”

At this time, Gao Xing subconsciously glanced at An Liman.

"Ahem!"

Under Gao Xing's gaze, An Liman coughed dryly and said, "Well, some time ago, I took three foreign devils into the desert......

"What? Hu Bayi said angrily: "Why didn't you say it before? ”

"Well...... I didn't know they were robbers......"

"Okay, Comrade Hu Bayi, now is not the time to worry about this...... Professor Chen waved his hand solemnly, looked at An Liman and asked: "Old man, which country are they?" Are there any weapons? ”

"They...... It should be an old man, a gun, all of them......"

The fat man looked bitter: "My day, the old man is cruel, why do you have a gun?" ”

"Afraid of what? The desert is so big, how can it be so easy to encounter? ”

Hu Bayi hurriedly appeased, so as not to affect people's hearts.

"No, we have to hurry!" Professor Chen was a little anxious: "I'm worried that those three guys are also going to the Exquisite Ancient City, if they find them first, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Yes, that's the reason, we must not let foreign devils steal our country's antiques......"

This time, the fat man's consciousness appeared to be quite high, and he echoed Professor Chen's words with an angry face, and urged An Liman to set off quickly.

Actually, what this guy is thinking in his heart, Hu Bayi and Gao Xing are quite clear.

If they were preempted by foreign devils, wouldn't the three of them be watching the northwest wind?

After a day's journey, the group discovers a stolen tomb again.

As last time, the sarcophagus was lifted and there were no bodies inside......

"Dog X, these bunch of crumbs!"

Hao Aiguo, who has always disliked scolding, couldn't help but scold when he saw the empty tomb in front of him.

Professor Chen sighed and said, "This kind of tomb is just a very ordinary tomb, there is almost no burial entrance, it seems that this group of people is a thief and a corpse!" ”

"Stealing corpses? What's the use? The fat man asked suspiciously.

"These dried corpses are quite valuable abroad, and in recent years, the gangs that come to the desert to steal dried corpses are quite rampant, which is also an important reason why we are in a hurry to investigate.

If we can collect detailed information, we can report it and ask the relevant departments to take protective measures. ”

Hearing this, the fat man's eyes rolled, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking.

"Everyone should be vigilant, although the chance of meeting each other is very small, but not afraid of 10,000, just in case!"

For the rest of the trip, Hu Bayi was extra cautious.

Fortunately, I didn't meet each other along the way, and I didn't find any more thieves and the like. Perhaps, the route is staggered.

Continue walking for a few days.

The legendary ancient city has still not been found.

And at this time, everyone began to face a serious problem: the water was almost exhausted.

But the surrounding area is still vast with yellow sand, and there are no ruins or oases at all.

If they can't find a water source, most of them will have to die in the desert.

"Are we going astray?"

Hu Bayi finally realized this problem.

After all, judging by their time at the ruins of the Western Night Ancient City, the Exquisite Ancient City shouldn't be too far away.

And the road is a little too quiet, not even a small ruins have been found, which seems a little abnormal.

"I'll look at the map......"

Although there was no reference nearby, Hu Bayi still asked Hao Aiguo to take out the map and study it carefully.

At the same time, Shirley Yang also took out the notebook she found from under the nine-story demon building and looked at it carefully.

After looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but say: "You see, according to the route on the notebook, we went out of the ruins of the ancient city of the West Night, and continued to walk south for a few days, if the direction is correct, you can see Zagrama Mountain, which is known as the holy mountain......"

"Perhaps, we are probably going a little off."

Gao Xing looked up at the sky, then took out his ancient compass and walked up to a high sand dune and began to orient himself.

If there is no reference on the ground, then use the sun as a reference.

After calculating for a while, Gao Xing walked down and raised his hand to point: "Now, we have to correct the direction and go southwest." And, if I'm correct, there should be a water source to the southwest. ”

Gao Xing didn't say this to comfort everyone.

After all, he has now accumulated some experience in feng shui, and with the magical ancient compass with systematic rewards, it is almost certain that the water source is not too far away from them.

At this point, Hu Bayi can't compare.

After all, the two of them are studying in different directions, Hu Bayi mainly focuses on dividing gold and setting acupoints, while Gao Xing's contact area is much wider, and he is currently mainly inclined to the five elements of yin and yang, Tianmai and astrological phenomena.

"Great!"

As soon as they heard that there was a water source, the spirits of the people were lifted.

Even if it's to quench your thirst.
