So, Gao Xing walked back, squeezed into the crowd and looked at the map carefully, and then expressed his opinion.

"I measured the direction just now, and we did go astray. However, the direction that should be deviated is not too far......"

As he spoke, Gao Xing pointed to the map.

"If my feelings are correct, we should be in this position right now...... The Ancient City of West Night is located to the southeast of us, not too far away.

If there is no problem on the road, hurry up and hurry, and you should be able to get there in two or three days. ”

An Liman looked at the route pointed by Gao Xing, then got up and glanced around, thought for a while, and couldn't help but nod.

Professor Chen thought about it and agreed with Gao Xing's plan: "Okay, since everyone disagrees, let's follow the route Gao Xing said." ”

"Let's go!"

The group left the place in a hurry.

As a result, after walking for two days, I did not find the remains of the ancient city of West Night.

water, almost exhausted.

In the evening, the group sat around the fire with a heavy heart.

Hu Bayi sighed: "I'll report the situation to everyone, the food can last for two days, but the water is gone." You should still have a little bit on you, barely enough to last a day.

In other words, the current situation is quite serious, and if we can't find the ancient city of Xiye, or the water source, tomorrow night, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Comrade Xiaohu, you can rummage more and see if you can find the water bladder in reserve."

"Professor Chen, the fat man and I have searched three times, and the water bladders are all empty."

Hearing this, the group could only glance at An Liman with hopeful eyes.

"I don't have any water......

The fat man said angrily: "I didn't ask you for water, aren't you known as a living map of the desert?" How can you get lost? ”

"It's because you don't listen to persuasion, I said it earlier, the Black Desert is not a random ......"

Gao Xing was a little annoyed when he heard it, and couldn't help but shout: "Okay, stop arguing, is it useful to make a noise?" Save some effort and continue to find your way tomorrow. I'm sure we're not far from West Night City.

Lao Hu, after dawn, let's observe the terrain again. After all, the scale of West Night City back then was not small, and some clues may be found through compass positioning. ”

"Well, give it a try after dawn."

……

The sky in the desert is dark early, and the light is early.

When the first morning glow appeared on the horizon, Hu Bayi took out his compass and began to walk slowly around, while raising his eyes to look at the sky and calculating his direction.

Gao Xing changed the direction, walked up to a nearby sand dune about dozens of meters high, looked around for a while, and then took out the compass and turned the direction from time to time......

When the sun broke through the clouds and stained the sky red, Gao Xing sighed softly, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

"Lao Hu, what did you find?"

Back below, Gao Xing walked towards Hu Bayi.

"What about you?"

"I think I may have made a discovery, and I'm sure we're definitely not far from the Ancient City of the Western Night."

"Ha, what a coincidence, I also found out. Why don't we write it on the sand? ”

Hu Bayi couldn't help laughing.

Gao Xing immediately nodded: "Okay!" ”

So, the two of them wrote a few words on the sand, back to back.

"Huh? You two have the same idea. ”

Fluttershy looks at it and snorts.

That's right, according to Gao Xing and Hu Bayi's judgment, the location of the West Night Ancient City is the same as Gao Xing's previous inference, which is in the southeast.

But they've been walking for two days, and their current position is almost a little south-east.

Professor Chen perked up: "Great, since both of you are speculating like this, I think there is nothing wrong with coming this time." ”

"Let's do it......" Gao Xing proposed: "Let's go due east first, it is estimated that we will not go far, and we will be able to reach the ancient Silk Road." At that time, An Liman must have known the way. ”

"Makes sense, then go east!"

So, the group cheered up and walked towards the place where the sun rose.

This time it finally came to pass.

After walking for about two hours, An Liman suddenly said in surprise: "I know here, great, in half a day, we will be able to find water......

"Wow!"

"Hooray!"

Hearing An Liman say this, the group immediately rejoiced, and Ye Yixin and Fluttershy screamed even more.

"Awesome, you two are masters!"

Hao Aiguo couldn't help but glance at Gao Xing and Hu Bayi, and praised it from the bottom of his heart.

After a while, some bones began to appear on the side of the road, including humans, wolves, camels......

However, this did not frighten the group, but made the group start to cheer up.

"Yes, this must be the ancient Silk Road......

Excited, Professor Chen began to explain endlessly.

"At that time, it was the only land passage connecting the East and the West, and the caravans were endless, and it was quite prosperous. However, at the same time, many horse thieves and robbers were born to rob passing caravans on the Silk Road......

Now, if we follow this ancient road, even if we can't find the ancient city of Xiye, we will definitely find other monuments, or small oases and the like......"

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, an ancient ruin was finally presented in front of everyone.

"Haha, it's really the road of the sky!"

"Where are the ruins of the Ancient City of the Western Night?"

"It looks a bit like that, after all, there weren't many cities of this magnitude at that time......"

Although the ruins could already be seen, the group walked for about an hour before stepping into the ruins.

Compared to the remnants of the last time they escaped the Black Storm, the weathering of the buildings here is much more severe.

Because it is not a quicksand area, this site is not buried under the yellow sand, and has been exposed to the air for many years, and weathering is inevitable.

Many of the buildings have completely collapsed and become one with the surrounding desert.

However, judging from the broken walls, the scale of this city is relatively large.

It is conceivable that when the Silk Road was glorious in those years, there must have been many caravans coming and going, including those inside and outside the customs, blonde and blue-eyed Hu merchants, and hot Persian women......

"Click, click, click!"

The ancient, vicissitudes of ruins made Shirley Yang and Chu Jian forget their hunger, thirst and fatigue, and excitedly picked up their cameras and kept taking pictures.

After all, too few people have been able to see the ruins in person.

They are undoubtedly lucky to have made it here.

"There's water there......

An Liman jumped off his camel and pointed to a lonely earthen house not far away.

From the outside, the earthen house belongs to the Central Asian style, and although it looks like a mud house now, it must have been weathered like this.

"How can water be in the house?"

Hu Bayi was a little puzzled.

"I don't know, but there's a well in there anyway."

"Then I'll go in and take a look, don't you come in yet......"

Hu Bayi took out a pistol, pinched a flashlight and walked cautiously to the door, took a look around, and found that it was empty, and there was indeed a well in the middle.
