The ruins of this ancient city are thousands of years old, once the smallest of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions, the closest to Zagrama Mountain, and the first to be captured by Queen Ameira's army.

The ancient city is littered with corpses, desolate and lifeless. Fortunately, there are still a few old houses in the ancient city that have not collapsed, allowing people to escape the heat for a while.

It was already half past eleven in the morning, and the caravan was too sleepy to continue. This ancient city is the most unsuitable place to rest after a few days in the desert. But Ma Chengfeng knows better than anyone that this is the only place to stay before reaching Zagrama Mountain.

The food is sufficient, but there is no water, and whatever you eat is not fragrant. Everyone had no intention of eating lunch, and one by one collapsed to the ground and never wanted to get up again.

"Alimu, let the brothers rest, you don't have to be on duty, there are no animals in this ghost place." Ma Chengfeng commanded.

Everyone was tired, and they fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark outside.

"Alimu? Are the brothers back? "Ma Chengfeng's throat is about to breathe fire.

"I didn't ...... No, I sent two brothers to meet them, but ...... But there was no sign of them within 10 kilometers. ”

"Big brother, it's not to greet !! Isn't it the emperor, greet a fart? Made! This hellish place, you can't live without water! No, I think those brothers are more than lucky, we must now take advantage of the low temperature and make a decision quickly, whether to go back, or ......? ”

Xiao Man has always been more cautious, and persuaded him: "There is no water in the desert, it is difficult to move an inch, while everyone still has the physical strength, let's go back overnight, only if we survive, we can find Zagrama Mountain, and then go forward rashly, lose the rear supply, let alone us, even camels will die of thirst." ”

"But after a few days, once it is May, our hope is even slimmer, and even more water will be useless at that time."

Khajura said don't argue, it's about fifty kilometers from the camp, and I'll be on the road overnight, and I guess I'll be able to get back before sunrise tomorrow, but in this case, everyone will have to endure it for another day!

Xiao Man disagreed. "No, the brothers who went back to carry water didn't come back, they must have encountered some danger on the way, you are a girl's family, in case you ......"

Kashura laughed, "Huh...... Good sister, you underestimate me too much, don't you? If I can't come back, then who do you think will have a chance for us to cross Mobei? She had a point, and it was the best option right now.

At the current pace of travel, they still have two days to reach Zagrama, and it would be a shame to give up so easily. Khasilla's ability to survive in the desert is unquestionable. But the problem is that it will take at least a day and a half for her to go back and forth, and in this day and a half, although everyone will not die of thirst in the ruins of this ancient city, I am afraid it will also be a torment for the body.

At this time, Chu Tianyue spoke.

"Twenty kilometers northeast of this place there is an ancient well, which is called an inexhaustible holy well, maybe you can try your luck."

"Do you still have the face to speak? The last person who is qualified to speak here is you! Khasira said angrily.

Xiao Man hurriedly grabbed Khasiura. "Sister Tianyue, how can you make us believe your words?"

"Believe it or not, do you think there will be anything worse than what you are in now?"

Ma Chengfeng untied the rope for her and asked, "Since it is an inexhaustible holy well, why do you want to say that we try our luck?" ”

According to legend, she said, there lived a beast of prey near the well, and the beast of prey lived forever and fed on the holy spring and the people and animals who came to drink it.

"Beasts? Tiger? Lion? Still is...... Is that the kind of birdman who was cursed by Queen Ameira? ”

"I don't know, this well is more than 2,000 years old, and in the desert, even if travelers die of thirst, they don't want to go near that well."

Ma Chengfeng looked at the others, and the others didn't say a word, because everyone didn't trust Chu Tianyue anymore, but they couldn't find any other better way. Moreover, Alimu and others have indeed heard such legends. No one spoke just now because they felt that this method was too dangerous and the gains outweighed the losses.

"What do you mean?"

"Can I not express my opinion? Luck is such a thing, it is impossible to be attached to you Cheng Feng forever. Chang Xiaoman said.

"You can't go, the Devil's Spring, the Ominous Spring! It's a curse! The Prophet is closing his eyes! Alimu shook his head vigorously, like a rattle, blinding his large physique.

Of all the people, only Cassiura was silent. Like Ma Chengfeng, she is also an adventurous person.

Seeing that her good sister was reluctant to express her opinion, Xiao Man asked her, "Khashura, do you also think this method is too risky?" How is it possible to have well water that does not dry up for thousands of years? The desert is seriously sandy, and the nearby riverbeds are dry, even if there is a well, it must be a dry well, don't waste your physical strength! ”

"Maybe it's worth a try, I've heard the legend of that holy well. When I was a child, I remember one summer when there was a great drought in the snow-capped mountains, and the snow on the mountainside melted, and we didn't dare to go to the cursed altar at the top of the mountain, so we could only hope to go out and find water. ”

Although there are often gypsies who take caravans out of the snow-capped mountains, there is not enough fresh water in summer, and they never dare to leave this ancient ethnic land.

The elders of the clan finally thought of this inexhaustible holy well on the eastern edge of Zagrama. That year, four waves of people were sent out before and after, and a week passed, and no one could come back alive.

This well only exists in the legend of the desert, and everyone has only heard that the guardian of the sacred well is a monster, but no one has ever seen what it is.

"Since it's so dangerous, you can't go. Zagrama Mountain is there, and I can't run, it's really not good, let's wait for the autumn to be cool and then explore, there is no need to be brave for a while! Chang Xiaoman said.

Ma Chengfeng is more adventurous and prefers to find the holy well.

"Time is running out, take advantage of the fact that the boy has not caught up now, seize the opportunity! This thing is a hot potato on me! I can't keep it! Ma Chengfeng is talking about the pair of Aimela eyes.

Xiao Man saw that everyone was arguing, so he dragged Ma Chengfeng out.

She said: "Cheng Feng, I don't understand, what are we fighting for now?" We've settled down in the desert, and now everything is in order. We are strong, almost no less than when we were in Rehe, and the investment from Qiao Lao's side is also endless, and the oil town will be our home in the future. You have money and power, what more do you want? ”
