After the incident of the dried corpse, the members of the tour group deliberately stayed away from Wei Lai, and looked at him with strange eyes, it seemed that Wei Lai was very weird, and there were things that made them afraid, but Yang Zeen was different, his eyes were very hot when he looked at Wei Lai, which made Wei Lai can't help but strengthen his vigilance against him.

When passing by the ruins of the Peacock River, everyone has no interest in watching, and the once beautiful Peacock River is now covered with yellow sand and has completely lost its former beauty. It was the disappearance of the Peacock River that caused the disappearance of the Kingdom of Loulan, and the beautiful Loulan was finally submerged by the wind and sand.

The tour group crossed the Peacock River and came directly to the poplar forest, as a unique scenery in the desert, the appearance of the poplar forest made everyone's eyes shine, the white sand and blue sky, like a dream and smoke, the poplar stood like a lonely warrior, holding a long sword to face the enemy alone.

Populus euphratica forest is the natural enemy of wind and sand, the two face each other in this area, Populus euphratica has an ancient legend, it is said that Populus euphratica is alive for thousands of years without dying, after death for a thousand years without falling, and after a thousand years of immortality, it is precisely for this reason that Populus euphratica wood is often made into coffins, and wooden coffins often appear soul nail, which is the purpose of Wei coming to Xinjiang.

"Wei Lai, how can we leave the tour group, these people are looking at us more and more wrongly, I have long annoyed them." Huo Meng leaned against the trunk of the poplar forest, muttering all over the place.

Wei Lai walked into the poplar forest, he liked poplar very much, heard Huo Meng's question, and said: "They are afraid of us, I saw ghosts and they think I am weird, this is a normal thing, tonight, let's leave while it is dark." ”

"Okay." Huo Meng said.

The poplar forest is one of the safe places in the desert, and the guide will allow everyone to scatter around, and when it is almost night, they will gather firewood to prepare for the campfire at night, so that there are dry poplar trees around, and there is plenty of firewood.

When the bonfire was lit, everyone in the tour group could stay away from Wei Lai and keep a considerable distance from him, Wei Lai saw this situation, so he simply collected firewood by himself, and Huo Meng stayed away from the tour group and raised the bonfire himself in the distance.

When Wei Lai raised the bonfire, Yang Zeen suddenly walked here, sat down next to the bonfire, and said, "Warm up, don't mind." ”

Wei Lai ignored it, but Huo Meng's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Something? I told you in advance that we wouldn't help you even if something happened. ”

"You." Yang Zeen didn't expect Huo Meng to speak like this, his face instantly became ugly, and he gritted his teeth and glared at Huo Meng, obviously choking with anger.

When Huo Meng saw Yang Zeen's expression, his heart blossomed, and he squeezed his eyebrows at Wei Lai, Wei Lai saw Yang Zeen's expression and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Yang Zeen hesitated, and then said, "Can you show me the fragments of the ancient book of the dried corpse?" ”

Wei Lai didn't think of what Yang Zeen said, he already felt that this ancient book was extraordinary, and even reached the same rarity as the yellow scroll, but Wei Lai himself didn't really pay attention to it, when Yang Zeen talked about it at this time, Wei Lai officially paid attention to it, Yang Zeen was mysterious, and what could make him pay attention to it must be very extraordinary.

"What the hell is this ancient book fragment?" Wei Lai stared at Yang Zenen's expression, wanting to see if he was lying.

"This is ......" Yang Zeen thought about it for a long time, and finally planned to tell the origin of the ancient book.

However, when he was about to speak, the tour group in the distance let out a terrible scream, followed by the exclamation and shouting of the tour team, the voice was full of horror and despair, Wei Lai looked into the distance, the members of the tour group were scattering and fleeing, and the yellow sand behind them kept moving, and then a huge yellow bug rushed out, quickly chasing a young couple.

Wei Lai met this young couple, the young couple had just gotten married, this desert trip was a honeymoon for the two, and the honeymoon was going to come to a different way, so they came to the desert to spend it.

The insect is yellow all over, the mouth and legs are huge and powerful, quickly move the yellow sand forward, and soon catch up with the young couple, because the woman's strength is very weak, the running is getting slower and slower, and soon the insect chases, the huge mouth and palate bite down, the woman's leg is cut in half.

The woman wailed in terrible pain, fell on the yellow sand, but her hand stretched forward, wanting to let her newlywed husband pull her, her eyes showed a look of longing and pleading, and her body kept crawling forward, and the blood had splashed on the yellow sand, which was very bright red.

However, the newlywed husband did not stretch out his hand, his face slowly became cold, and he was indifferent to his wife's pleading, and even showed a desperate look.

When the wife saw her husband's expression, she was completely panicked, and grabbed her husband's trouser leg with both hands, and wanted to speak, but she stood out with a mouthful of blood, and could not speak at all, but could only whine, as if she was pleading, as if reproaching.

At this time, the yellow bug completely caught up, swallowed his wife's leg, and chased after the two again, seeing that the two were about to encounter misfortune.

The husband looked at his wife, his eyes were full of disgust, he kicked his hands away ruthlessly, turned around and fled without hesitation, wanting to use his wife's body to block the insect for a moment, without any hesitation in the whole process, not even a sad expression.

The wife was kicked away by her husband, the expectation and longing in her eyes disappeared, looking at the figure of her husband who did not look back, slowly revealing a desperate look, behind the despair was a heart-wrenching pain, more painful than the wound on the broken leg.

The wife withdrew her hand stretched forward, her helpless expression slowly recovered, looking at the yellow insect behind her, the corner of her mouth actually showed a poignant smile, the smile made Wei Lai very heartbroken, and then pounced on the insect, waiting for death to come, and at the same time it was also a relief from pain.

Wei Laimu stood in place, only the woman's smile in his mind, he didn't know the woman's inner thoughts, but he could understand her feelings, the smile before death was extremely sour, that pain, that pain, that kind of torture, it was more difficult to accept than death.

Wei Lai remembered the love of the young couple, the previous vow to the death, and the biggest contrast between the current scene, and the sad feelings rose in his heart.

"Sand ...... Worm. Huo Meng pointed to the yellow insect and said tremblingly.

Wei Lai saw that the tour group was scattered and fled, the young wife had been devoured, and the scene like the young couple happened again, and the huge insect seemed to be more than one, as the yellow sand under the ground moved, more sandworms came out of the yellow sand, and a few more came in their direction.

"Damn, it's coming at us, run." Wei Lai forcibly got rid of the sadness in his heart, picked up the package and ran, Huo Meng was unequivocal, following behind Wei Lai.

And Yang Zeen came to talk to Wei Lai, the package was not in front of him, he was hesitating whether to go back to pick up the package, there was no food in the desert and it was okay, if there was no water, it wouldn't take long for him to die of dehydration, but when he saw the tour group that was scattered and bitten by the sandworms, Yang Zeen gritted his teeth and chased in the direction of Wei Lai and Huo Meng, compared with the package, it was obviously life important.

When the tour guide said nuclear radiation, Wei Lai vaguely felt that if there were really sandworms, it would definitely be related to nuclear radiation, but at that time he didn't go to his heart, and now Wei Lai knows that all this is true, and the price of the truth is to pay a lot of lives for the tour group.

Since he didn't carry a package, Yang Zeen quickly caught up with Wei Lai and the two, but fortunately Wei Lai stayed away from the tour group, otherwise the sudden attack would have been too late to react.

The three of them didn't know how long they had been running, in the dark night, the desert was deep and shallow and shallow to step on, the movement was quite difficult, plus the loss of camels and tour guides, several people couldn't tell where they were at all, because Yang Zeen was in front of them, Wei Lai couldn't take out the ancient map to compare.

"It's a good thing you came to us at that time, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten rid of the sandworms." Huo Meng looked at Yang Zeen angrily, and said breathlessly.

Yang Zeen's face was pale, and when he heard Huo Meng's taunt, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said angrily: "If I hadn't come to you, my package wouldn't have been lost, and the contents are very important." ”

Huo Meng didn't answer, but secretly said in his heart: He deserves it.

When the three of them walked to a pile of sand and gravel, they no longer had the strength to move forward, so they regained their strength in the same place, the desert exuded an icy temperature, only the stars emitted a faint light in the dark night, Wei Lai and Huo Meng collected firewood, and set up a bonfire in the same place, when the temperature was completely warm, several people were tired and wanted to sleep.

Wei Lai forcibly sobered himself up, and said to Yang Zeen by the bonfire: "What are your plans?" ”

Wei Lai didn't want to be with Yang Zeen, he had too many secrets, and Yang Zeen was too mysterious, and there would be a lot of changes with him, Wei Lai didn't want to be remembered by others while sleeping.

"It's dawn, go back and look for the package." After Yang Zeen answered Wei Lai's question, he directly closed his eyes and rested.

Wei Lai greeted Huo Meng, but Huo Meng had already fallen asleep, in order to escape the pursuit of the sandworms, the three of them ran far on foot, and the strength of the whole body had been consumed too much, if Wei Lai hadn't been wary of Yang Zeen, I'm afraid he would have fallen asleep a long time ago.

Wei Lai forcibly refused to sleep, there were just three of them here, Yang Zeen was likely to kill people while he was asleep, and when Wei Lai reached the limit, he suddenly remembered the contents of the package, that is, the everlasting incense made of ever-bright lamp oil.

Wei Lai took out the incense, deducted a small piece and put it in the bonfire, slowly emitting a faint fragrance, and this fragrant cup Wei Lai inhaled by himself, but he also felt faint dizziness, Wei Lai quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In fact, it was not the effect of Chang Mingxiang that caused Wei Lai to fall asleep, it was because Wei Lai consumed too much strength and fell asleep due to excessive fatigue, not to mention that Wei Lai had a glass pendant to protect his body, and ordinary toxins could not invade at all.

Just when Wei Lai fell into a deep sleep, Yang Zeen's body slowly softened, obviously, Wei Lai's worry was very reasonable, Yang Zeen was pretending to be asleep just now, and only the body of a person who fell asleep would relax.

In this way, in the sea of yellow sand, there was a bonfire, and three people fell asleep in harmony.
