369 Jar of Human Heads
Without the wind and sand, the three Wu Xie who were originally staggering immediately stood firm. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 But when they saw the rolling black fog around them, they couldn't say words of thanks, and their hearts were shocked on the one hand, but more of a fear of the unknown.
Xuechen ignored them either, closed his eyes to himself, and blended a trace of black mist mixed with spiritual power into the surging wind and sand, spreading out in all directions, looking for the people around him.
Soon, Xuechen discovered the traces of A-Ning's team members. These people were lucky enough to find a shelter from the wind, between two high hills of hard soil, with their backs to the wind, and they basically didn't have to worry about the wind and sand when they hid in it.
The mental power swept at will, and found that there seemed to be some people missing from the team, which showed that in this harsh environment, some people inevitably got lost. However, this had nothing to do with Xuechen, and he didn't bother to care about the lives and deaths of those team members scattered in other places, so he only took Wu Xie and them straight to the location of the large army.
When she was close to the shelter, she happened to meet the team members who came out to search for A-Ning, because A-Ning was the team leader, and the other team members could not be left alone, but she had to find it.
When the group entered the sheltered area, the wind gradually eased, but there was no need to think about it if it didn't take three or four days to stop.
And Zhuoma, the master in charge of the guide, also said that once the wind and sand blow, ten days and half a month are normal. The main thing for the team now is to find a better shelter from the wind as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when the wind picks up again.
A-Ning knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately divided the team into several groups, taking advantage of the weakening of the wind and sand, to go out to search for lost people and supplies. Only a few main people were left behind, and they discussed where to go.
As the evening approached, when the wind and sand became stronger again, the people who had gone out to search came back one after another.
About half of the previously abandoned vehicles were scrapped, and the rest were driven back. Most of the lost people have also returned, and only two or three people have not been found.
Although it is possible that these people have already had an accident, they can't really be ignored, and the place where these people disappeared happens to be the direction they will go in the future.
So after discussing it, everyone decided to set off immediately. It's best to get to Devil's Town before dark.
The convoy quickly restarted, and since the wind was much lighter now, the journey was relatively smooth. Xuechen became the same again, napping in the car seat alone, and only told Wu Xie that they were okay not to disturb him sleeping, even if there was something, they couldn't disturb him.
After stumbling along the way, the convoy finally arrived at Devil's City, but it failed to arrive early as planned, and it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.
Speaking of this devil's city, it is actually the Yadan landform that is more common in the Gobi and the desert. After millions of years of water impact and weathering, the surface of the earth has formed a large area of high hills and rifts, connected in a huge labyrinth, and if you walk into it, there is a 90% chance of dying in it.
As soon as the convoy entered Devil's City, A-Ning ordered to stop and camp in place. Here, the wind and sand are obviously much smaller, and it is indeed a good place to shelter from the wind, but the wind formed in the rift valley is a little noisy, whining like a ghost crying wolf.
Another night passed, and when the next day dawned, the wind and sand actually stopped inexplicably, and it stopped very completely, not even a trace of breeze left, making people feel that the surroundings were empty, and the strong difference between the front and back made everyone a little uncomfortable.
Wu Xie woke up early, washed up indiscriminately, took out the dry food he had brought with him, and prepared to deal with his breakfast, and then remembered that Xuechen hadn't eaten much since the day before yesterday, so he asked others to ask for another one, and was going to take it to him.
As soon as he walked out of the tent, Wu Xie heard a noise, turned his head to look, and found that it was a few people carrying a person in a hurry, walking quickly to the middle of the camp. The surrounding team members saw it and came over to help.
Wu Xie recognized that the person who was being carried was one of the few people who had not returned to the team before, and saw that he had been found like this, so he hurriedly ran over to join in the fun.
The accompanying team doctor soon came, checked the man and told everyone that he had just fainted from fatigue, and that he would wake up soon after supplementing some water and nutrition, and gave him an injection of glucose.
After a while, the man woke up, and told him what he had experienced before he fell unconscious, and the traces of the remaining three missing people were also understood, and it was not surprising that they entered the Devil's City when the wind and sand were at their highest, and it is unknown where they were.
"Now that we have found their traces, we have to find a way to get them back, or like yesterday, several teams of people searched separately, and left markings at each intersection to prevent getting lost."
A-Ning was arranging tasks here, and there was a commotion over there. A member of the team ran over quickly and shouted: "There are signs of finding a way ahead, it should have been left by those people." ”
A-Ning immediately made a decision and asked everyone to follow the mark and start searching, and not long after, the team found a shipwreck in the sand sea.
It was a huge hemispherical mound, upside down on a riverbed that had long since dried up, forty or fifty meters high, and near the top of the mound, the bow of an ancient ship was slanted out of it, and almost half of the hull was suspended in the air, which amazed those who saw this scene.
The marker for the way was broken at this point, and several members of the team walked around the mound without finding any new clues, and looking at the huge hull of the ship in mid-air, everyone felt that the three men had most likely climbed to it.
Try calling on the walkie-talkie, and there is only a continuous eerie grinding sound in it, and it sounds like someone is sneering.
"What to do? Want to go up and have a look? Wu Xie glanced at A-Ning and waited for her to come up with an idea.
A-Ning thought for a moment and nodded at the black sunglasses next to him, who understood, took out the dagger he carried as a mountaineering pickaxe and began to climb up the mound, his skills were extremely agile.
Wu Xie did the same and climbed up. The two climbed to the wreck with great difficulty, and after a closer look, they found a hole in the hull through which the inside of the hull could be seen.
The black sunglasses shone a flashlight, and I saw that it was very deep inside, and some outlines could be vaguely seen in the deepest part, as if it was a human being. Replace it with a strong flashlight and shine it again, and now I can finally see it clearly.
"Found it! It's right down there! Black Sunglasses used the walkie-talkie to tell Ah Ning about the situation, and then climbed in with Wu Xie, but all they found was the corpse.
The man was half-buried in the earth, his face had turned purple, and he looked like he had died of suffocation, and he had been out of breath for a while. Wu Xie and the others dug people out, revealing another person, this one was buried deeper, revealing only a pair of hands and a little hair.
Wu Xie checked his pulse, and the people were already cold. And black sunglasses dug this out and dragged it aside. Sure enough, the last person who disappeared was the Caucasian man Wu Xie knew, and he raised his hands and raised his head upward, as if he was struggling to climb up.
Wu Xie didn't have hope, but after a while, he was stunned to find that this guy was still angry, and hurriedly called people outside to help save people.
After a while, the man was rescued and carried back to the camp to be treated by the team doctor.
The team members looked at the huge ancient ship on the mound and thought that there might be something good inside, so they climbed up together to hunt for treasure.
Wu Xie didn't have the mood to touch the baby, just watched them make a fuss. It wasn't long before the team members took out the old jars from the old ship and piled them up under the mound, still shouting loudly, there were many of them in the boat.
When they had almost moved all the jars, a crowd gathered around the jars to see what it was.
If it was porcelain that was traded through the Silk Road in ancient times, it was a priceless thing. It's a pity that after reading it, everyone found that this is clearly an ordinary clay pot, which is not worth much money at all.
Knowing that he was busy with a job, one of the team members smashed a jar in anger to vent his anger, and a round thing rolled out of the broken jar.
Wu Xie saw that the thing was covered with dry mud, so he pulled it with his foot, and the mud crumbs fell off to reveal the contents inside, and it was a shriveled and ugly human head.
When everyone saw that the jar was actually this thing, their faces did not look very good. The face of the team member who smashed the jar just now also changed, and he hurriedly threw away the jar in his hand, but he didn't want to knock down those jars, and a large piece was broken, and for a while the ground was full of human heads rolling down.
"It's really bad luck! I actually dug up this kind of thing. The deputy Wu Lao Si scolded and scolded.
Wu Xie glanced at it a few times: "This seems to be a human head jar, which was used for sacrifice in ancient times, but why are there so many here?" Shouldn't the ship be a commodity used for trading in ancient times? Isn't this a merchant ship? ”
"Whatever it is, let's go, it's always a bit of a panic to stay here."
A group of people beckoned and wanted to leave, but before they could step away, there was a resentful sneer behind them.
Wu Xie shook his head, looked at the others, and found that they also had surprised expressions, so he knew that he had heard correctly, and hurriedly turned around to look.
The others did like him, turning around to find the source of the sound.
At this moment, another sneer sounded, this time louder and clearer, it came from the pile of people, and the hearts of a group of people instantly rose to their throats.
The picture in front of me is too weird, and laughter comes from the heads of dead people? Could it be that a powerful ghost wants to find someone to ask for his life?
"Ahh The man's head is moving! One of the team members suddenly exclaimed.
I saw that in the pile of human heads, a human head rolled abruptly, and there was no movement after two clicks.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, several small bright red insects broke through the flesh one after another and came out of the human head, and the air was instantly filled with a pungent spicy smell.
Seeing this little bug appear, Wu Xie's brain buzzed instantly. I couldn't believe that when I looked at it carefully, I almost scared him away, it was actually a few corpse kings!
The memories in the tomb of King Lu came flooding back, and Wu Xie also recalled the horror of this thing in an instant, and the only thought in his mind was: It's over! A lot of people are going to die now!
"Holy! What kind of bug is this? Never seen before. "One of them was very curious and wanted to lean over and take a closer look.
Wu Xie hurriedly shouted: "Don't be a fucking idiot! This bug is poisonous! Can't touch it! Hurry back! ”
The man was startled by Wu Xie's roar, turned his head to look at him, and at this moment, a corpse king flew up and landed on the man's shoulder, this guy reflexively stretched out his hand and patted it, Wu Xie didn't even have time to stop it.
"Ahh The man screamed and fell, and the hand that touched the Corpse King turned blood-red as if it had melted.
Everyone screamed and retreated, and some people wanted to go up to help him, but Wu Xie pulled the person back: "It's hopeless!" If you are poisoned by this kind of poison, others will die if you touch it! Find a way to kill these bugs! ”
A group of people woke up like a dream and hurriedly picked up the guy to fight. But this kung fu, there have been more crappy kings crawling out of the human heads, and the other human heads are the same, and there are constantly corpse kings drilling out, and there are hundreds of them in a dense area, and the number is still increasing.
After a while, several more people fell down screaming. Wu Xie knew that it was too late to do anything, so he could only shout loudly for the others to run, while he took out the short-handled ancient knife that he had always carried with him and pulled it the palm of his hand.
The blood flowed, and the momentum of the group of crappy kings was stunned, and the team members who were not hit hurriedly took this opportunity to run away. Wu Xie didn't dare to stay longer, because he didn't know if his Qilin blood exhaustion could withstand the poison of so many corpse kings.
Whoa!
All the corpse kings suddenly became agitated at this time, and after a series of flapping sounds, they all flew into the air and rushed in the direction of the camp.
For a while, the sky was full of red light, and it looked good in the sun, but it made Wu Xie's face bloodless.
