The sky, which had been clear just now, darkened in an instant, and a strong wind blew up all at once, and more and more fine sand was swept into the air by the wind, and the surrounding area was shrouded in overwhelming sand and dust, and the visibility became lower and lower.

Li Mu has been observing the people in the team, and he can't remember the specific plot clearly, but he remembers that someone seems to have fallen behind here. Because I forgot who it was, I could only pay attention to all the people.

Although the yellow sand is all over the sky, with the blessing of the mask, he can see everyone clearly in the storm.

Professor Chen, who was not far in front of him, was the first to hold on, and dangled twice on the camel and fell down. Li Mu hurriedly urged the camel to catch up, and then pulled Professor Chen from the ground to the camel.

When they came to the back of a dirt slope, they stopped, and the camels, as if frightened by something, all stopped, lined up, squatted in place, buried their heads in the sand, and did not move a single inch despite the beatings of Anliman.

"It's over, these camels are frightened by the black storm, they know it's useless to run, so they just wait here to die." An Liman reluctantly let go of his hand.

Just when everyone was at a loss, suddenly from the direction of the west, a huge white shadow ran towards this side. The white shadow was like a ghost, and it was a camel twice as large as an ordinary camel, with only one hump on its back, and its whole body was snow-white, which stood out in the yellow sand.

"Praise Hu Da." An Liman's eyes lit up with excitement. He waved his hands and beckoned them to climb aboard, and the camels, as if summoned by something, pulled their heads out of the sand and ran after the white camels.

Li Mu looked at the white camel with a curious look in his eyes, because, in his perception, this camel was disembodied, just a combination of light and shadow.

"Interesting." Li Mu drove the camel and followed.

The people of the archaeological team drove the camels and followed the white shadows as fast as possible, and the camels seemed to know the seriousness of the matter, and used all their strength to run so that they were about to foam at the mouth, and followed the white camels in front of them.

Turning a large sand mountain, the figure of the white camel flashed and disappeared. Behind the sand mountain, a small ancient city ruins appeared.

Broken city walls, broken houses, Li Mu and others found a room similar to the city hall and stayed, although there was a big hole in the roof, but it was better than the open air, and it could block the wind and sand after all.

"Can you survive a sandstorm here?" Hu Bayi hid in a corner and asked An Liman the old man.

"Well, it depends on Hu Da's will." The old man shook his head helplessly.

Li Mu didn't care about this, he unloaded some dry firewood from the camel, then lit a bonfire, and then began to make a fire to cook, running for most of the day, everyone was already hungry.

"Ahh Xiao Ye, who was not far away, let out an exclamation.

"What's wrong?" When Hu Bayi heard this, he immediately rushed over.

"There are corpses." Ye Yixin pointed to a white bone in the corner and said.

"Dead bodies?" Hao Aiguo rubbed his eyes and asked, "You Xiaoye, what are you doing in a daze?" Are we archaeologists still afraid of dead bodies? ”

Ye Yixin's eyes also entered the sand, and he covered the top of his head that hit the roof beam and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hao, I'm ...... I just didn't expect there to be dead people in this house, and my mind was not fully prepared...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

"There's something strange about this corpse." Li Mu walked over and pointed to the bare white bones on the ground and said.

"What's weird? Isn't it just a white bone? Fat man, I've even seen zongzi, you haven't seen it. I'll tell you......" Wang Fatzi also walked over at this time, glanced at the white bones in the corner and said disdainfully.

"The climate in the desert is dry, and even if a person dies, he will at most become a dry corpse due to water loss, don't you think it's suspicious to see that there is not even a bit of flesh on this white bone?" Li Mu pointed to the white bones and said.

"Maybe it was gnawed by a wild wolf?" Wang Fatzi disagreed.

"You've seen that wild wolf gnaw so cleanly, and the skeleton of this corpse is not scattered at all, and you have seen that wild wolf will put the skeleton back to its original position after gnawing on the corpse. If I'm not mistaken, we're in trouble. Li Mu said and sat back by the fire.

"What's the trouble?" Wang Fatzi was puzzled.

"Forget it, let's talk about it when we meet, and it won't solve the problem if we talk about it now. It only adds to the troubles. Let's eat first, and then we will have the strength to run away. After Li Mu finished speaking, he opened a can and ate it alone.

"You're a man, really." Wang Fatzi was puzzled, but he didn't know the kind of person who likes to ask to the end, and when he saw that Li Mu didn't say anything, he stopped asking and sat on the ground and ate canned food.

Hu Bayi was very concerned about Professor Chen, he opened a bottle of liquor and handed it to Professor Chen's side, and asked Professor Chen to take two sips to relieve his fatigue.

After everyone had eaten and drunk, they sat around the fire to rest, and Hu Bayi felt that there was a corpse in this room that was uncomfortable, so he decided to bury the corpse with Wang Fatzi.

Due to the relatively large wind and sand outside, the two took sapper shovels to dig on the spot. After digging a few times, he came across a hard stone, Hu Bayi felt strange and cleaned up the surroundings to find a black human head stone statue buried in yellow sand below.

The stone statue had no crown on its head, only a flat bun, and a serene expression with no obvious mood or anger, the most conspicuous of which was the huge olive-shaped eye in the middle of the face.

"Professor Chen, what is this?" Hu Bayi is still a gold point, but to say that the identification of cultural relics is a layman.

"This thing is called the Giant Pupil Stone Statue, and there are different opinions about where it originated, but this thing has been unearthed a lot in the Western Regions, so clean it up, just to add some experience to them." Professor Chan was referring to his students. After going through so many things, he still does not forget to teach his students, which shows that Professor Chen is an old professor with a strong sense of responsibility.

However, it was getting late at this time, and after running for most of the day, everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted, so the matter of excavating and cleaning the stone statue could only wait for tomorrow.

Hu Bayi and Wang Fatzi dug another pit next to them, which was considered to bury the body.

After a night of silence, Professor Chen and a few students began to clean and excavate the giant pupil stone statue early the next morning. While digging and cleaning, he kept explaining the precautions. It's like an outdoor practice.

Li Mu sat cross-legged on the ground to calm down and cultivate.

At nine o'clock in the morning, An Liman, who had gone out to check, jumped back from the hole in the roof in the wind and sand, "Hu Da bless, the wind and sand will pass, and the sky will clear in half an hour." The sand outside had reached the city walls, and in another two hours, we would all be buried alive here. ”

Everyone was very happy to hear An Liman's words, and their hearts that had been hanging were also relaxed, and they were ready to continue cleaning the stone statue, and then continue on the road when the wind stopped.

However, at this moment, Ye Yixin, who was squatting next to the stone statue, suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, why are there so many ants." ”
