Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Sea of Sand
This desert has always been known as the dance of death, because this desert will have dancing women, and whenever such a scene occurs, this desert will appear abnormal, that is, a mirage.
It is not uncommon for a mirage to appear in the desert, it is a natural phenomenon explained by modern science, but it is an illusion that appears due to the deviation of the sun's reflection line, but the normal mirage generally appears in the appearance of the city, but this desert is different, it appears a magnificent high platform, and the songs and dances on the high platform are unprecedentedly prosperous.
Xiao Gu said that there is another reason why this desert is called the Dance of Death, that is, about ten miles ahead here, it begins to enter the deep sea area, of course, this deep sea area is not the depth of the sea, but the color.
The dark yellow sea of sand is not visible on the satellite map, but you know to find the right place, each side holding a handful of sand will easily find the difference, he said a month ago, that Mr. Wu suddenly found him, and promised to give him a very generous reward, there is only one request, that is, to help find this deep sea area, and then determine the coordinates, waiting for us to arrive.
I asked him why he promised Old Man Wu, how could he believe that this old man was telling the truth, Xiao Gu shrank his neck very unnaturally, looked at me with palpitations, and said: "That's not because of you, then Old Man Wu said that only you can stop those people, and if I don't agree, my little life will be gone immediately, what kind of person is the fifth master, if he makes me disappear, I can't find the body even if I am reborn." ”
When I saw him like this, I suddenly wanted to laugh in my heart, and my heart said where is such an exaggeration. Although the old man Wu is not an innocent family, he is not a grass coward in ancient times. How can you let a person disappear for no reason, but. Wu Yue said that their old man's style of doing things is like this, and whoever dares to betray will only be a dead end.
I said that you are acting in a movie, and betrayed, Wu Yue reluctantly turned his head and continued to drive.
The buggy rushed into the first desert, and because it was the edge of the desert, we would see camels from time to time. I can even see tourists who come here looking for excitement, with long guns and cannons in their hands, smiling silly, facing the endless desert, if I change my mood, I might be like them.
"This is a newly developed scenic spot, we will rest here today, replenish fresh water and some food and medicine, and then set off tomorrow morning."
Xiao Gu said. Bian took out a map from his bag and gave it to us, saying, "This map was drawn by ourselves, and the place with red dots on it is a quicksand pit, don't step on it." The blue dots are underground rivers with occasional water if we're lucky. Along the way, you won't have to worry about the problem of water sources, in addition. The biggest one of these black spots is the ancient tomb we found earlier. The small dots next to the black dots are more troublesome, and they are ant nests. ”
He said so much, and he didn't think anything else, but this last item, the ant nest, what the hell is this?
Xiao Gu explained that these ants are not ordinary species, but a small species of ants with a fiery red body, and the last time they went, someone was caught under the ant nest by these fire-headed ants in an instant because they stepped on the ant nest.
Later, the man's brother organized a group of people to search for him, but instead of corpses, dried corpses, or skull shelves, he found a pile of black, foul-smelling flesh and internal organs.
There was an amazement in the carriage, and in general, it was a normal result to be attacked by this unknown creature, the meat was eaten, and the skeleton was left.
However, what Xiao Gu said was that there was still skin and flesh and internal organs, and it was still on the sand, could it be that those fire ants had eaten the bones and still came out of the skin and flesh as garbage?
I asked Xiao Gu if we had to go through these places this time, Xiao Gu nodded, indicating that it had to be so, I looked at Qian Jue again, and he nodded slightly at me, which means that Xiao Gu's words are correct.
I silently took this hand-drawn map, looked at the black dots on it, and suddenly felt like an iron lump weighing thousands of pounds.
The car stopped, and the driver turned back to us and said, "I'm here, I'm not going to go ahead." Then he said to Xiao Gu: "Boss Gu, three thousand." ”
Xiao Gu didn't say a word, he took out a stack of red tickets from his backpack and handed it to him, "Thank you, don't go out and talk nonsense!" ”
The driver was counting the money, and after counting, he looked up at us and smiled, "Boss Gu, don't worry, I understand the rules!" ”
Xiao Gu nodded with satisfaction, and then asked if we had all unloaded our things, I said that they were all done, and several people were fully armed on the edge of the two-colored sand, watching the car go farther and farther away from us, and my heart became more and more nervous.
"Let's go, you still have to walk a little way where you want to go."
"How far?" I looked up at the sun, and a sense of foreboding swelled up in my heart.
Xiao Gu looked at his watch and said, "If it goes well, it will be dark, but ......"
He looked at Qianjue again and again, and Qianjue said, "I've only been back once, and I don't know much about the external environment here." ”
Xiao Gu nodded and smiled, "The Thousand Hall Master is humble, isn't it, when we get below, we still count on the Thousand Hall Master to take care of it!" ”
Qian Jue glanced at me, I immediately understood what he meant, and asked Xiao Gu, "What, you also want to go down?" ”
Xiao Gu nodded, and said with a hippie smile: "It's all here, I'll go down and see it." ”
When Wu Yue heard this, he immediately laughed, "You? It's up to you, don't you want to die? ”
Xiao Yuan pulled his sleeve and shook his head gently at him, meaning not to say much.
Xiao Gu didn't know Wu Yue, and when he heard him say this, his face immediately became unhappy, and he choked back: "Who are you?" Where did you come from so ignorant of the rules! ”
I whispered to him on the side to tell him Wu Yue's identity, Xiao Gu's expression immediately stiffened, and he reacted after half a minute, and at this time, Qian Jue, Wu Yue and Xiao Yuan had already set off, the three of them walked in front, Qian Jue held a hand-drawn map, Xiao Yuan held an orientation instrument, and Wu Yue looked around with sunglasses.
Don't talk nonsense, just open the road and chase after it.
We had been ahead for about an hour before I suddenly felt the sand softening beneath my feet, and when I looked down, the sand had darkened significantly.
"Wait!" I shouted.
Qian Jue had been walking in front of us, and when he heard me shouting, he immediately turned to look at me, "What's wrong?" ”
I said, "Don't you feel like your sand layer has become different?" ”
Wu Yue squatted down, grabbed two handfuls of sand and studied it, stood up and threw away the sand in his hand, looked at us and said, "This is the deep sea area, we have arrived in the Guling area." ”
Qian Jue also said: "Let's go forward for another hour, if we see a white light response area, we will rest in place, recuperate and then go to the core area." (To be continued.) )
