After Liu Shangang cleaned up, I didn't ramble anymore, and continued to march towards the depths of the tomb, after walking past the stone monument, the sand on the ground gradually became more, and as I went deeper, the sand layer became thicker and thicker, and the wind around me gradually became stronger.

The tomb was already dark, and the sand swept up by the wind blocked the beam of the flashlight, so our visual distance became very short.

The deeper I walked, the stronger the wind, and the flying sand became more dense, I desperately stabilized my center of gravity, turned around and looked at the people behind, the sandstorm blocked the light and sight, I could only see Liu Shangang and Liang Houzai, and then the people behind were completely blocked by the wind and sand.

The wind is very strong, and the sand that is picked up also has a fierce force, and when you hit your face, you will feel a very stuffy pain.

Fortunately, Liu Shangang tied everyone together early in the morning, otherwise, the team would definitely be separated in such an environment.

Liu Shangang waved his hand vigorously at me, signaling me to move on, this time without a walkie-talkie on the mask he had prepared, and could only communicate in this way.

After about an hour of walking in the sand, the wind remained at a fairly stable strength and we had to keep ourselves down to ensure that we were not swept away by the wind.

I felt the chain on my waist being pulled by someone behind me, and when I turned to look, I saw Liu Shangang on all fours, crawling towards Liang Houzai.

Due to the density of the flying sand, I can no longer see Liang Houzai, and can only vaguely see his outline, at this time he is also lying on the ground, moving. Liu Shangang felt that I did not retreat with him, and pulled the chain twice, so I also turned around and crawled towards Liang Houzai.

Liu Shangang and I climbed backwards, Dawei and Senior Brother Feng climbed forward, and it didn't take long for everyone to gather around Liang Houzai.

Liang Houzai would shrink his whole body to the ground, constantly digging the sand on the ground with his hands, Dawei seemed to shout something, but he was wearing a mask, and the wind around him was too strong, no one could hear what he said.

Liang Houzai's body seemed to pause after pulling away the big handful of sand, and then I saw him stick both arms into the sand and pull a stone slab out of the sand with great difficulty.

It was a stone tablet about the size of my chest, to be exact, and it was inscribed with ancient characters that I couldn't read.

Liang Houzai took out his flashlight and carefully examined the words, then he looked up, and through his goggles, I saw that he was looking at me with very shocked eyes.

Unable to communicate in words, I spread my hands and gave Liang Houzai an inquiring look.

Liang Houzai seemed to be in deep thought, and after a while, he also spread his hands, pointed ahead, and motioned for us to move on.

I understood what he meant, he was saying that in this case, he could not tell me what was on the stele, so it was better to walk forward and see through the windswept sand.

We didn't delay any longer, quickly found our position, rearranged in a long line, and continued to move forward against the wind and sand.

Without waiting for far, Liang Houzai stopped again, this time, he dug out a stone slab from the sand layer, and after reading the content on it, Liang Houzai frowned, with a puzzled expression.

Still unable to communicate, he still couldn't tell me what was written on the slate, so we had to line up again and move on.

The area of the wind and sand belt seems to be much larger than we imagined, we have walked for a long time, but the wind and sand still have no tendency to decline, during which Senior Brother Feng has not asked everyone to stop, which shows that we should be walking in the right direction.

After this, Liang Houzai found the third and fourth stone tablets, and every time he saw the words on the stone tablets, he had a look of surprise mixed with doubt. I wondered how Liang Houzai knew that there were stone tablets under the sand layer, we were all crawling on the sand layer with our bodies bent over, and everyone could see the ground clearly, but why was he the only one who could find those stone tablets.

As I thought about this, I saw a smooth reflection less than a foot away from me, but soon the reflection was buried in the sand.

Is it a stone stele?

Thinking so, I also curled up on the ground, pulled out the sand in three or two, and pulled out a stone tablet from the sand.

Liu Shangang soon came to me, and when he saw the stele in my hand, he first frowned, and then turned his head to look at Liang Houzai behind him.

A few seconds later, Liang Houzai also arrived, he looked at the stele in my hand, shook his head, and waved his hand at me.

This time I didn't understand what Liang Houzai meant, I asked him with my eyes, and he pointed to the stone tablet in my hand and made a gesture with his hands crossed.

He seemed to mean that the steles were of little use.

I didn't know if I understood it right, I just put down the stele and continued walking.

After that, I saw a few more stone tablets that were shallow buried in the sand, but I didn't bother anymore, and Liang Houzai didn't stop again.

I don't know how long I walked, the wind that was still relatively stable suddenly became stronger, the manic flying sand reduced my visibility to about a meter, I had to crawl my whole body on the ground to barely ensure that I was not blown away by the wind, Liu Shangang crawled to my side, he half sideways, took out his mobile phone.

His idiosyncratic phone can also be used normally in such an environment, and I saw that the screen was lit up, and there was a text message from Senior Brother Feng on it: "Beware of quicksand. ”

In other words, this generation should be the coverage of quicksand.

Anyway, what kind of device did Senior Brother Feng use to send text messages, but now it is underground, and the environment is like this, it is impossible for ordinary mobile phones to receive signals.

After a while, Liu Shangang's mobile phone screen flashed again, and Senior Brother Feng sent a new message: "The direction is right, the road ahead is alive." ”

I patted Liu Shangang on the shoulder, signaled him to be careful, then pressed his body and continued to crawl forward.

I had no experience in the desert and didn't know how to avoid quicksand, so I had to be as careful as possible, and every time I made a move, I had to try to see if the sand in front of me was stable enough.

I don't know what kind of sand layer is stable, I can only judge by the intuition formed by practicing small arithmetic.

Crawling and climbing, the direction of the wind changed before I knew it, at first we were going against the wind, now it has become a tailwind.

After the wind changed, we moved forward a little more easily, but for some reason, I started to feel like something was going to happen.

After the wind changed, I crawled for about 100 meters, and it was at this moment that I felt the chain on my waist suddenly pull back.

At first, I thought it was Liu Shangang who was pulling it, but soon I realized that something was wrong, when Liu Shangang locked it, it was a force one by one, but this backward force was continuous.

I can't say it in my heart, Liu Shangang won't be swept away by the wind, I immediately looked back, but the wind and sand were too big, and I couldn't see Liu Shangang at all.

The pulling force on the steel cable continued, and just as I was about to climb to Liu Shangang's side to see the situation, this force suddenly became stronger, and it actually dragged my body and slid for a long distance.

My heart tightened, Liu Shangang didn't have so much strength, and something else was pulling the tightrope.

At this point, the pull increased violently, and I was dragged to the ground again, and I took out the green steel sword and plunged it into the sand, trying to stabilize my body, but the sand was too soft to hold the sword in place.

Bang la, bla bla la-

As my body slid on the ground, there was a sound similar to sand running through the air, and even in such a strong wind, the sound was still very clear.

I immediately reacted, it was quicksand! We encountered quicksand!

But what is the pull force from the chain?

I was pulled back, while adjusting the center of gravity, my legs slowly knelt up, the upper body was slightly erect, the pulling force was backwards, the huge wind force was blowing forward, the two forces repelled each other, with the wind force, I quickly exerted force, stood up directly from the ground, and then unfolded my body to increase the wind area of my body.

The wind was strong, and the speed at which I slid backwards immediately slowed down, and I turned around, grabbed the chains, and pulled myself little by little in front of Liu Shangang.

When I could see him, he was about to get up from the ground, so I grabbed his arm and pulled him hard, so that he could stand up straight, and like me, Liu Shangang also quickly spread his body after he stood up, and I grabbed his belt with one hand.

The two of us stood side by side, battling the wind and the pull coming from behind, and at first, Liu Shangang and I were still being pulled, slowly sliding on the sand, and after adjusting our posture a few times, we finally settled in place.

Liu Shangang glanced at me, and then raised his chin in the direction where Liang Houzai was.

I nodded, motioning for him to move closer to Liang Houzai.

Liu Shangang didn't talk nonsense, and immediately pulled the iron chain and moved closer to Liang Houzai little by little.

At that time, Liu Shangang and I both ignored a problem, that is, his weight and muscle density are far inferior to mine, although the wind here is strong, but it is not enough to make my body float, because I am heavy, muscle density is also large, like an iron stone, can withstand the floating wind, but Liu Shangang is not good, his body is too light, just a few steps, because he did not control the center of gravity, was lifted into the air by the wind.

Luckily, I was holding on to his belt, and as soon as he was flying, I quickly pulled him back to the ground with a jack drop.

When pulling him back, in order to prevent myself from being blown up by the wind, I could only tighten my body and reduce the wind surface, but it was also officially because the wind surface suddenly decreased, and the force involved seemed to suddenly become excited, and it only took an instant to drag me and Liu Shangang to the ground again, and dragged us to slide on the ground quickly.

Liu Shangang fell on top of me, and the chains he tied around his waist suddenly mixed with the chains on his waist, and it was almost impossible for us to stand up like we had just done.

The pull seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and we kept accelerating as we slid on the ground, and the acceleration was getting faster and faster.

The wind and sand slammed in the direction we were sliding, and I could clearly hear the sound of the sand hitting the goggles, and my face, and the goggles, as if they were about to shatter under the blow of the sand.

At the same time, the sound of quicksand became clearer and clearer, and Liu Shangang and I tried to untie the entangled chains, but in the wind and sand, we could barely see anything, and the rapid movement made it impossible for the two of us to accurately grasp the two chains.

As I slid away, I felt like we had strayed from where we had been, and the huge traction was taking us into the middle of the dark zone.

In the gap between the wind and sand, I saw Liu Shangang reach for his own belt, as if to touch the rope hook hanging on it.

I immediately understood what Liu Shangang wanted to do, and grabbed his wrist while I could still see his hand.

If he unbuckles, he will be out of the group, and by that time he will be blown away by the wind, but I will be able to stand up as I did just now.
