I didn't want Mia upset, so I walked out. Subsequently, Sander made the east and ordered two large tables of meals in the hotel next to him, however, there were not many people in attendance, me, Professor Liang, his student Chu Han, two security guards Li Tong and Xiao Tang, Sander, Little Zack, and one Professor Wasson, a total of eight people.

It seems that there are only three of them, but I know that Manager Li and they will definitely follow secretly, it is a strong team.

After eating, we rested until two o'clock, and began to set off, a total of four cars, two people and one, very unwillingly, I really wanted to have one with Mia, however, she regarded me as an enemy, and entered another Humvee, and Li Tong was cheeky to sit in the passenger seat of my car.

Sander: They led the way in front, but they also planned the route, which was from the small town of Lop Nur, around the Yadan landform of Longcheng, and then to the ancient city of Loulan, and the final destination was indeed the area of the lower reaches of the ancient Peacock River.

I don't know why they finalized the route like this, since they were looking for the area of the lower reaches of the Peacock River, why didn't they go directly into the center of Lop Nur Lake and penetrate it directly. Maybe you're worried about danger in the middle of Lop Nur? It can't be, it's dry now, and it's not a solo expedition, it's a convoy expedition, although there is a certain amount of danger, but it's definitely much safer than this route, and the distance is much shorter.

It's a pity, even though I had some doubts in my heart, I still drove and asked Xiaotong, however, she didn't know some of their plans, and even Professor Liang didn't remember what they were investigating, and they were completely acting as bodyguards, but Xiaotong told me that all the items for this expedition were prepared by Sand, except for mobile phones, and some essential inspection items, the rest were provided by them.

I thought to myself, they must be worried about being traced in this way, although they don't have any evidence and handle in our hands now, and this expedition was also obtained through formal channels, however, TMB Group is careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship, and definitely doesn't want the process of the expedition to be caught by any handle, and left in the country one by one.

The vehicles prepared by Sander are all excellent performance Hummers, especially suitable for this kind of sand running, of course, they are also equipped with tires, as well as many accident-prone parts and tools such as tire repair, etc., which are simply fully armed into Lop Nur.

We drove until six or seven o'clock in the afternoon, and after four or five hours, I found that we had walked eighty or ninety kilometers, but we did not see the Yadan landform of Longcheng, and at this time, the first car of Sander and their car stopped in a hilly and undulating canyon area, and the convoy stopped one after another, repairing here, and I went to inquire only to learn that they did not enter Longcheng, but crossed to the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan.

According to the GPS positioning, we are less than 20 kilometers away from the location of the ancient city of Loulan, and Sand and they stopped the car, just let everyone rest for half an hour, eat something, and then set off again.

When I was eating, I suddenly felt that Sander's plan was pure shit, it was to fool us at all, what route he wanted to take, he decided, and he wouldn't let us know clearly at all, however, the final destination is in the area of the lower reaches of the Peacock River, the area that once disappeared, but the area is also terrifyingly large, and if you want the rest of them to enter the desert to find us, I'm afraid it's very unlikely, and it's impossible to send a helicopter, once the wind rises in the desert, and the sand and dust fly, it's easy to make the plane fail, At that time, there will be heavy losses, so there will be no planes in the desert to search, of course, except for special people or things, alarming the high-rise, it is possible to risk searching, however, they will rarely land in the desert.

I shook my head a little Sander these guys are really calculating, old and cunning, after dinner, we continued to hurry, and at half past seven in the evening, we arrived at the protection station of the ancient city of Loulan, because Professor Liang and their expedition team was approved, so the personnel of the protection station did not search us, and also dedicated the road, told us some of the ruins and culture of the ancient city of Loulan, and also introduced some monuments.

I've already been to the Loulan ruins once, so I didn't listen to them at all, but after they stopped the car, I kept an eye on Sander's movements.

After Sand and the others stopped the car, Sand went to find Professor Liang, and Professor Wasson entered the Loulan ruins, and the little Zack carried the cage covered with canvas, and the cage contained the Imperial Falcon.

I wonder if the Imperial Falcon is awake now? I felt that little Zach was carrying the Imperial Falcon behind their butts, it was really ulterior, I couldn't help but get closer, and I heard some chirps, but there was no majestic sound fluttering, maybe the effect of the drug had just receded, and there was no strength to struggle.

Sander, Professor Liang and Professor Wasson were almost overnight in this Loulan ruins, but they were all Sander in front, holding a compass, walking in front, looking at the sky from time to time, there are stars in the night sky, the starlight is not small tonight, so that there is a lot of light in the long desert, I know that Sand is using the compass to locate the feng shui dragon vein, this should be what Professor Liang said about the Tianxing feng shui, an extremely advanced feng shui secret technique.

Loulan is located at the key point of the Silk Road, absorbing a lot of Central Plains culture, so there are many similarities in the burial system, and the basic mountains are buried with some feng shui thaumaturgy.

I saw that Sander didn't care about the investigation with Professor Liang and Professor Wasson, but walked around the ruins with a compass, and when he determined a certain location, he would let little Zach carry the cage around where he was, but when he found the first location, the Emperor Falcon didn't seem to react at all, Sander seemed to frown a little, so he turned around and beckoned Mia over, I don't know what was said in her ear?

Then I saw Mia walk up to me with a cold face, walk up to me, and say, "Give me the bronze ring!" ”

I was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

Li Tong was also beside me, and suddenly grabbed my arm and said, "This is Xiaofeng's thing, why give it to you?" Who do you think you are? ”

When Mia saw Li Tong's actions, her face suddenly changed slightly, which made me feel a trace of joy in my heart, however, she only changed color, and said, "Give it to me?" Otherwise die! ”

I don't know what she meant by that? But when I said the word death, I bit my voice very hard, as if to remind me that this thing is very important, it is a matter of life, not the meaning of Sander they want to kill me, I vaguely understood the meaning of Mia's words, so I reached out and pulled off the bronze ring and handed it to Mia, but when she grabbed it, I didn't let go and asked her: "Why are you with that bad guy?" ”

Mia only snorted, then pulled hard, ripped the bronze ring, and didn't answer me at all.

I felt very uncomfortable, looked straight at Mia with my eyes, walked up to Sander, and handed him the bronze ring.

Sander glanced at me, a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and then, he took out a lighter, lit it, and melted the wax layer on the bronze ring, and then, little Zach suddenly took out a dagger, slashed his finger, and the blood flowed out, and dripped on the bronze ring.

I was a little far away, and I couldn't see the strange reaction of the blood dripping on the bronze ring, but after waiting for a few minutes, the imperial falcon in the canvas-covered cage seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and began to chirp twice in the cage, and even flapped its wings a few times, I was suddenly shocked, I knew what Sander wanted to do when they caught the imperial falcon? They were looking for that strange toxin, which was on the bronze ring, and it seemed that because of the blood infiltration, the smell of the toxin was emitted, and the Emperor Falcon had a strong irritating reaction to the smell of this toxin, which turned out to be the case.

Sander took the blood-stained bronze ring and stimulated the Imperial Falcon, seeing that it had such a strong reaction, I knew that it was not because the Imperial Falcon was weak, but that there was really nothing they needed in this place, so he quickly wiped off the blood on the bronze ring, and then, he actually hung the bronze ring on Mia's neck, I suddenly broke away from Xiaotong, ran to Sander, stretched out his hand and punched him, and scolded in his mouth: "You bastard, do you want to kill her?" ”

However, before I hit Sander, little Zach gently put the cage on the ground, however, it reached the front of Sander's face at a strange speed, grabbed my fist with one hand, and at the same time raised his right foot, kicked on my side waist, kicked me into a spasm, took several steps back, and finally planted his butt on the ground, this will really scare me, why is this kid so powerful? You're too fast, aren't you?

I rubbed my waist and looked up at Mia, and found that she was also looking at herself, and there seemed to be something more in her eyes, but her face was still the same indifference, and I was busy shouting for Mia to quickly take off the bronze ring, it was dangerous.

"Don't you know this bronze ring better than I do?"

Xander suddenly smiled and walked in front of Mia, reached out and took out the bronze ring on her chest, and shook it in front of me, I saw that there seemed to be a small round ball on the bronze ring, which happened to contain the bronze ring, and then I breathed a sigh of relief.

Sander took the compass and turned to leave, seemingly continuing to use the Celestial Star Feng Shui technique to continue to find the location of the ancient tomb he wanted. Little Zach and Mia also followed, and I sat on the ground, and I didn't know why I saw Mia following Sander, as if she was obedient, and I felt very uncomfortable, and I wanted to run over and blow Tander's head open to see what he told Mia, and make her so desperate.

Li Tong saw that I was kicked to the ground, so he ran over to help me coquettishly, and scolded Xiao Zack in his mouth, but Xiao Zack didn't take her as the wind in his ears at all and ignored her.

When I got up, I followed Sander to see what he was looking for with the compass. In less than ten minutes, he seemed to have found another location of the ancient tomb, and instead of letting the Emperor Falcon sniff it directly, he grabbed a handful of wind and sand and fell down, as if trying to see if there was wind? But he noticed a little breeze, so he drew an area on the ground, and asked Xiao Zack to dig out more than ten centimeters in the sand with a dagger, grab a handful of sand, and let the imperial falcon sniff it.

I followed them for half the night, however, looking at Sander's situation, it seemed that nothing had been found, and the Imperial Falcon did not react in the slightest to the sudden smell here.

In the end, Li Tong couldn't stay up, Professor Liang and Professor Wason couldn't stay up to the cold night, and returned to the car to rest, I naturally didn't want to brave the cold, cold in the breeze, but Sander They stayed up in the cold and continued to look in the night, I don't know how long they were looking, anyway, I had already slept, and at seven o'clock the next day, Sander and they were in good spirits to let everyone eat something.

After dinner, we continued to hurry, and after driving for more than two hours, we finally arrived at the area of the lower reaches of the Peacock River that Professor Liang told me, which was once the lowest basin of the Peacock River, but now it is submerged in the yellow sand.

However, when we arrived in this area, we were faced with undulating yellow sand, and we could not find any ruins at all, and the country has also sent many archaeological expeditions to archaeology in these river basins for so many years, but unfortunately, there is not much value to discover.

Sander: They just asked Professor Liang to confirm the division of the area that had been possible, and camped in the middle of the area, of course, chose a rocky plateau below, which can block the sun, etc., Xiao Tang and I were actually in charge of setting up tents, Xiao Tong and Mia were making some small things, and Sand and the others were actually doing some other tools, and that little Zack didn't want to help us at all.

Xiao Tang and I whispered: "These bastards are really arrogant, I want to see if they can be proud in time?" ”

When the tent was ready, Professor Liang and Professor Wasson were repaired under the tent, and now it seemed that there was nothing to do with them, Mia and Xiaotong were also resting below, and so was Xiao Tang, only I walked to Sander's side, and saw that they took out a sophisticated box like insurance from the car, so they beckoned me to come over and let me get in the car, I was a little puzzled, but I still sat directly on it, and Xiao Zack drove directly to a kilometer outside the camp and stopped.

Sander entered the password on the lockbox, and after opening it, I saw four things like alloy steel pipes, not very long, more than thirty centimeters, I took a closer look and found that the alloy pipes were very precise, and it seemed that there were many precision parts combined.
