Chapter 17: Blisters

When the old prostitute heard someone shouting, she immediately climbed out of her sleeping bag, and when he turned on the flashlight and shone it around, she was instantly dumbfounded.

The camp they were stationed in was surrounded by puddles, and all the low-lying areas around them, except for the sand dunes where they were, were all small puddles of water that were bubbling up, and this small puddle was rapidly expanding. In the blink of an eye, several tiny puddles were connected.

If they hadn't chosen to camp on a slightly higher sand dune, they would have been in a puddle by now.

At this time, everyone had already climbed out of the sleeping bag, and more than a dozen flashlights were shining in different directions, and everyone began to discuss the strange puddle in front of them, which everyone had never experienced, and they didn't know what kind of strange phenomenon this was.

Many people are asking the night watchman, when did it become like this?

The night watchman said that at first there were only a few blisters in two places, and then from those two blisters began to change, and in many places it was like a chain reaction, and the blisters began to emerge from the sand. The qiē happened so suddenly that it didn't even take three minutes to make the surroundings look like this.

While the night watchman was still recounting his passing, someone shouted, "Look at the sand dunes over there." ”

Everyone looked in the direction the man was pointing, and more than a dozen flashlights converged and shone on the same sand dune, and this light was as bright as day, and the situation of that sand dune became clearly visible in an instant.

It was a large sand dune, at least several times larger than the one they had set up camp on.

The old prostitute only looked at it for a few seconds and realized that the big sand dune was getting smaller, and the sand on one side of the dune was flowing at an alarming speed into the low-lying puddle. The speed and magnitude of this flow is jaw-dropping.

What makes them even more strange is that the low-lying puddle is like a bottomless pit, and no matter how much sand flows down from the big dunes, it will be swallowed up by the puddle. Not only did there be no sign of filling the puddle, but even the water level of the puddle did not rise, but the area of the puddle continued to expand.

Just as everyone was paying attention to the big sand dune, the old prostitute glanced at the small puddles around her. It's okay not to look at it, but the old prostitute is full of cold sweat when she looks scared.

The small puddle around them had all disappeared and turned into a small river that was encircling them, and was devouring the sand of the sand dunes where they were, and the old prostitute hurriedly shouted, "My god, don't look over there, we have to finish playing here." ”

After the old prostitute finished shouting, everyone's eyes gathered back again, and many people began to panic when they saw that they had been surrounded by bubbling water. After all, I haven't experienced it, and nervousness is inevitable.

When everyone was a little flustered, only the little wolf and Kui Ye remained silent. The old prostitute thought they knew what was going on, so she asked. Who would have thought that Kui Ye was pretending to be calm, and he had never seen this strange scene. The old prostitute looked at the little wolf again, and thought to herself, this is always the same expression, and it is the first time that she can't keep it, so she didn't ask the little wolf.

At this time, Tianxiang had climbed onto the roof of the off-road vehicle, used a flashlight to look at the surrounding situation, and after taking care of it for a few seconds, Tianxiang shouted: "Look at the sun tomb here." ”

His shout stunned all the people who were originally flustered, and almost at the same time they all looked in the direction of the Sun Tomb.

The water in the puddle stopped when it reached the Sun Tomb, and to their strange surprise, the Sun Tomb was much lower than their place, but there was no sand flowing to the puddle.

They suspect that the sand around the Sun Tomb must have been specially treated, otherwise it would not have been lost even if there was water.

After a short period of communication, they made a decision to go to the Sun Tomb. After all, the Sun Tomb is much safer than the current location, and the sand dunes under their feet are already shrinking, and they don't know how long they can hold out, so they have to make a quick choice.

When the decision was made, they were faced with another problem, that is, how to pass the encirclement of guò water, and now the surrounding water is no longer the same small river as before, and it is seven or eight meters wide at the narrowest point, and this width is constantly increasing. At that time, the water was still bubbling continuously, so they did not dare to venture into the water, after all, they did not know if there was something mysterious in the water.

In the end, one of Tianxiang's buddies volunteered, saying that his water quality was very good, and he swam in the rapid Yellow River, and he wanted to try to swim through.

The others had no choice but to agree to let him go into the water and try it. For safety, they tied the rope to the man's waist, and if they found that it was not good, they could also pull the rope in time to rescue him.

As soon as he was ready, the guy found a narrowest spot and went into the water. And before going into the water, he was full of confidence, saying that such a close distance was not enough for him to pierce a fierce son. But as soon as his feet went down into the water, the whole person disappeared all at once, and the rope tied to his body began to enter the water quickly.

At that time, the old prostitute and a few people were pulling the rope, and they didn't expect it to happen so suddenly, and they were almost taken into the water by the rope. Fortunately, the rope was long enough, and everyone came to help, but the underwater force was too great, and their feet had already stepped into the sand, and they were dragged out of the deep ditches one by one, and the strength of sixteen people still failed to pull the rope. It wasn't until they were dragged to the water's edge that they had to let go of the rope.

The old prostitute said that the power under the water is very strange, not like something tearing underwater, but more like a kind of suction. The suction was irresistible, snatching the guy who had gone into the water out of their hands.

With that guy's experience, everyone didn't dare to go into the water blindly. For a while, they fell into a panic again, and the sand dunes under their feet were still gradually shrinking, and they had no solution.

Everyone knows that time is running out for them, and if they continue to be helpless, then what awaits them will be swallowed up by water like this dune.

At the moment when everyone was confused and helpless, Kui Ye shouted: "Push the car into the water." ”

Many people don't understand what Kui Ye means, but the old prostitute understands that Kui Ye wants to use the car as a stepping stone. He wanted to put the car sideways into the water and use the time when the car sank to make a jumping fulcrum. With a fulcrum in the water, they can jump to the tomb of the sun opposite. Of course, there is a certain risk in doing so, not everyone can jump over, but they have no choice but to take a risk.

According to Kuiye's command, they pushed an off-road vehicle into the water, and then the old prostitute and the nook made a quick jump demonstration. Both of them are practitioners, and their jumping skills are naturally not weak, but there is one point, every time a person jumps over, they have to jump on the car, and the speed of the car's descent will increase. A car can only withstand the jump of 6 people, and it will sink in the water, and these 6 people have to move quickly, and if you delay a little time, you may have to jump one less person.

It was good that they came in with five cars, and although two cars were not parked on the dune, there were three more cars for them to use. Although this method may seem extravagant, even the most expensive things must be discarded in order to save lives.

The jump was not all smooth sailing, during which two Tianxiang guys fell into the water and were quickly sucked into the water. Little Wolf and Tianxiang were the last to jump, and when the others jumped, the two of them returned the important things.

On the first night, they didn't do anything, and they had already lost 3 people, which was definitely something they didn't expect.

They sat on the tomb of the sun and watched as the sand dunes were swallowed up by mysterious blisters.

At this moment, no one dared to go to sleep, and they were all full of energy, for fear that the sun tomb under their feet would also be swallowed.

By about 4 a.m., they noticed that the water level was starting to recede, and the water was no longer blistering upwards. The water level, which has become like a river, is getting smaller and smaller, and in less than 10 minutes, it has become a small puddle. And it's still changing, until finally it's gone.

They sat on the tomb of the sun until the sun came out, and then they dared to slowly walk on the sand and try.

The old prostitute walked to the sand that had been flooded last night, dug a small pit half a meter deep, and was surprised to find that the sand did not contain a little water, and even the humidity was the same as the sand in other places, and it did not look like it had been soaked in water at all, and there was no trace of being submerged in water.

After everyone had eaten something, Tianxiang found the little wolf and the old prostitute and asked them what to do next, after all, only the little wolf knew the location of Baisha.

Little Wolf said that the specific location of Baisha should be in this area. He suspected that the provenance of Baisha was most likely under the Sun Tomb, because the brocade scroll in his hand recorded a message that there were many wooden stakes buried in the plot with Baisha.

Although the recorded stakes are buried in the ground, while the stakes of the tomb of the sun in front of you are above ground, it is not difficult to understand. After all, he has information from hundreds of years ago, and after so many years of geological changes, the great storm has blown hundreds of times, so the landform described by that dynasty is completely different from the current landform here.

In addition, the little wolf felt that these two sun tombs were too weird, and before eating, he checked the sand on the periphery of the sun tomb, and like ordinary sand, he didn't find any special treatment. However, the low-lying terrain of the Sun Tomb was not flooded by last night's water, and even the surrounding sand was not sucked away by the water, which is enough to prove the particularity of these two Sun Tombs.

After the discussion, Tianxiang began to arrange for the men to start work, knowing how difficult it is to make a hole in the sand, but fortunately, they were well prepared before they came, and brought an iron guard. Every time a certain distance is played, the hole must be wrapped with an iron plate, which prevents the sand from flowing into the hole, but also greatly slows down the speed of advancement.

After more than two hours of unremitting efforts, the robbery hole finally reached the stone roof of the tomb.
