Chapter 53: Unknown Ruins of the Ancient Western Regions
Hearing An Liman's roar, everyone was startled and got up and ran to the camel.
"Old Hu, this old man won't scare us, will he? Doesn't it look like it's getting dark? ”
The fat man asked suspiciously as he ran.
"You think he's going to make a joke about that?"
Hu Bayi knew very well in his heart that although An Liman was a little greedy and selfish, he would never intimidate them indiscriminately.
There are not many people who are more familiar with this desert than him.
Sure enough, after a few minutes of riding the camel, the sky began to be gloomy, and there was a dull sound like the sound of ocean waves.
The big guy has been walking in the desert for many days, and he has some experience.
As soon as you see this movement, you can guess that the storm is definitely not small.
Even the camels looked a little panicked.
"Old man, is there a place to hide from the storm around here?"
Hu Bayi desperately urged the camel to catch up with An Liman, and asked loudly.
An Liman's expression looked a little desperate, looking at the sky and muttering: "If the black storm blows, no matter how big the sand dunes are, it won't work, where can we hide?" ”
"I said old man, life and death are a long line, but you can't joke, you have to find a way to take us to find a place to hide from the black storm."
"I told you not to go into the Black Desert...... It's okay now, Hu Da is angry, we can't outrun the Black Storm at all......"
If you can't run, you have to run.
You can't just sit still and wait to die, can you?
The group ran wildly for a while, the sky became darker and darker, and the sound of the storm was clearly audible.
The sand pounds on the body, sitting on the back of a camel, if you don't hold on to the hump tightly, you can't stabilize your body at all, and if you don't pay attention, you will be blown down by the wind or turned upside down.
In desperation, the group was pleasantly surprised to find that they had inadvertently broken into the ruins of a deserted and dilapidated building complex.
This is a no-man's land, and it is a black desert area that makes people talk about it, how can there be a complex of buildings?
There is only one possibility, this place was once a city in the ancient Western Regions.
"Great, quick, count the number of people, let's find a sturdy building to hide in."
Hu Bayi yelled excitedly, jumped off the camel and ran to the rear, helping to take care of the personnel and the camel in the rear.
Fortunately, no one was left behind, and the camels were not lost.
"Allah bless ......"
Anliman finally breathed a sigh of relief, folded his hands flat on his chest and prayed, and then hurriedly drove the camels together and let them hide behind a nearby building.
Although these buildings have been weathered for more than a thousand years, they are not too badly weathered.
Judging from the site, most of these buildings have been buried under the yellow sand for many years. However, the Taklamakan Desert is more mobile, and storms blow away the sand on the surface, bringing these structures back to light.
Maybe one day, it will be buried by yellow sand again.
"Quick, here, there's a big house here."
The fat man's voice came from afar.
At this time, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and even if there are buildings to shelter it, it will not make much difference.
After all, almost half, if not most, of these buildings are still buried in the yellow sand, and the part that is exposed to the ground is not as tall as a person. When the wind blows, people can't stand on their feet at all.
Especially for a slender body like Ye Yixin, if she hadn't held her hand, I'm afraid she would have been blown away directly.
Finally, Gao Xing and the others entered the big house one by one.
This big house is the tallest in this ruin, but the ground is still piled with thick yellow sand, and people like Hu Bayi and Gao Xing can't stand up straight.
"Damn, I finally got my life back!"
The fat man was panting and lying on the soft sand, looking like he was palpitating.
Hiding in this room, surrounded by shelter and overhead, the wind is much quieter, everyone has a little more security, and their spirits begin to relax.
Hu Bayi raised his flashlight and shone it around, and then said, "Fatty, don't lie down, let's go, let's go outside and pick up some firewood." ”
"Let's go, let's go together."
Gao Xing, Chu Jian, and Sa Dipeng came outside together.
There are a lot of dead trees and dead grasses here, after all, it used to be a city. It didn't take long for several people to return to the big house with a large number of them in their arms and set up the fire.
With the firelight, the sense of security is a little more.
At this time, Ye Yixin couldn't help but ask: "Professor Chen, this must also be a relic of the ancient Western Regions, which country did it belong to at that time?" ”
Professor Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "At that time, the Ancient Western Regions were known as the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, but in fact, it was just a statement, and I am afraid it was difficult to say how many there were at that time.
After all, some small towns with a few hundred people are also called countries.
I don't know exactly where we are, so I'm not sure what the name of this site is. ”
Hearing this, Hao Aiguo couldn't help but take out a map of the ancient Western Regions and study it for a while, and said, "According to the route we traveled and the time, it should not be far from the ruins of the ancient city of the Western Night. ”
For the ancient Western Regions, the Western Night Kingdom was relatively large, with a population of more than 10,000 in its glory days.
More than 10,000 people, insignificant in the afterlife.
But at that time, the ancient Western Regions were considered a more populous country. After all, the Ancient Western Regions were already a vast and sparsely populated region, and could not be compared with the Central Plains.
Fluttershy is excited.
"Anyway, we finally started to get in touch with the ruins of the Ancient Western Regions, which is a big step towards victory......
Gao Xing said angrily: "Girl, don't give us a political lesson here, or care about when the black storm will stop." ”
"Hmph, it's a disappointment!"
Fluttershy rolls her eyes.
"Old man, when do you think this black storm will stop?"
Hu Bayi couldn't help but ask An Liman.
"God knows, maybe a day or two, or maybe seven or eight days......"
Professor Chen was taken aback: "Seven or eight days? If it really takes seven or eight days, we might be buried alive here. ”
"It's not possible, it's certain!"
Hu Bayi looked worriedly in the direction of the entrance, where some grains of sand were blown in from time to time.
"What then? We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we? The fat man asked with a pale face.
"You have to go out now, die now, sit here, and live for two days......"
Hu Bayi said self-deprecatingly.
"Can you please stop saying such frustrating things? In short, the fat man believes that our team will be blessed with great fortune and will definitely be able to survive. Okay, let's not talk about that, I'll go out and see the camels, and I'll take some wolf meat over and we'll roast the wolf meat and eat it. ”
"Yes, even if you die, you have to be a full ghost!"
Sa Dipeng said humorously, and then rushed out with the fat man.
"By the way......" As soon as the two of them left, Fluttershy got up and sat down next to Gao Xing, blinking her eyes and asking, "Aren't you able to pinch it?" When will this black storm stop? ”
Gao Xing glared at Fluttershy, "When did I say I could pinch it?" ”
"Hee-hee, I guess!"
Gao Xing: "......"
However, although Gao Xing did not know exactly when the storm would stop, he knew that this team would definitely not be buried here.
