The young people who were walking the trade route for the first time also rushed to the distance when they saw all this, and the other old rivers and lakes did not stop them, because they all knew that this was a mirage, and it was purely the product of illusion

If there really is such a paradise, it would have been marked on the map a long time ago, even if it is not marked by those who often run business, they should know about it

Seeing that the old rivers and lakes were indifferent one by one, Liao Dongfeng also told the others to calm down, and then continued to walk the road under his feet

Soon, when the caravan passed by the young men who were rushing to the oasis, they found that they were all lying on the ground weakly, and the old rivers and lakes quickly took out the kettle and poured water on the young man's face, and even so, there were still two or three young people who never got up again

The ritual of remembrance and mourning was very simple, and the other caravans did the same as the previous memorial ceremony of Duolun and the others, gouging out the eyes of the deceased, swallowing them, and then gathering them together, digging a large pit and burying it, and that's it

The bitter lesson also taught the young people a lesson, if it were not for their lives, I am afraid they would not have remembered all this, at first the good appearance of the trade road in their hearts also plummeted, and at this time they finally knew why every time they went to the trade road, there was always the reason why more than half of the people could not come back

After continuing to march for an hour, Duolun also took out the map and looked at it, and then exchanged opinions with the leaders of the other teams, before Duolun walked to Liao Dongfeng and pointed to a blank area on the map to speak

"Dongzi, although there is nothing marked on the map, but there is an ancient building not far ahead, we can rest there, you tell your companion to prepare."

"Rest and rest, what is there to prepare"

At this time, Duolun glanced back at the others, and then whispered: "Although it is an excellent resting place, there are often cases of people getting lost, and there are no people alive or dead, and I think you should be able to find the reason, we are not professional after all, so it is all up to you."

"There's a labyrinth"

"It's not just an ordinary ruin, and we don't plan to stay there unless we have to rest, so please."

Seeing Duolun's respectful salute, Liao Dongfeng also hurriedly helped him up, Duolun usually does things carefully, but if he thinks it is incredible, then there must be a lesson from the past, so Liao Dongfeng also explained to the others, and then walked towards the ruins with the large army

It took more than an hour for Liao Dongfeng and the others to finally arrive at the ruins, several collapsed stone houses, half of the broken city walls were in the soil and half exposed, and it looked like they had gone through a lot of years of wind and frost

When they approached, the caravan men were busy looking for a place to escape from the scorching sun, and some of the better ones were leading their horses in groups to find forage

Liao Dongfeng and the others stood near the stone house and observed for a while, then listened to Qin, and said while touching the stone: "The stone here in Dongzi is transported from a long distance, and the degree of weathering should not be less than two thousand years, according to time, this is the remains of the Rouran people, it seems that we are close to Aso City."

"By the way, Qin, I forgot to tell you something, when we reach the caravan's destination safely, you can continue to follow Duolun's caravan, I don't mean anything else, I'm afraid that you will be in danger."

After hearing this, Qin also glanced back at the others, and replied: "Dongzi was in the Devil's Sea before, I did instigate it, because I have never seen such a battle, let alone so many dead people, but after experiencing the Devil's Sea, I feel that I should stay, after all, this path is my own choice, and I also want to see where I can go."

After hearing what he said, Liao Dongfeng was also a little impressed, but he still asked tentatively: "Aren't you hot and confused, are you sure what you said is the truth?"

"The captain is dead, Brother Haichen is dead, many people are dead, I have nothing in my heart except grief and nostalgia, if you all die in the future, I will live in the shadows, I admit that I am timid, but I am even more unwilling to live in regret for the rest of my life, so please let me stay, I will be useful to you"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Dongfeng hugged Qin Li's neck and replied in a low voice: "Brother, I also regret the death of other people, especially the captain, I feel more guilty in my heart, I once said that I would protect her with my life, but how can I protect so many people alone?"

Listening to his voice, he was a little choked, Qin also knew that he was a flesh-and-blood person, the reason why he looked cold on the outside, and even sometimes a little cold-blooded, was that he was afraid that others would see through his mind

As the team leader, his pain is swallowed back in his stomach, so he can't show timidity, let alone be looked down upon, because once he has no direction, the whole team will fall apart, and then more people will die

At the age of eighteen, he has never cried out bitterly and tired for such a burden and burden

Regardless of whether he was selfish or not, he had worked hard to make this trip, and every step he had taken before could be seen to be in order to get more people out of the nightmare, with his own skills, he could do it alone, and escape regardless of it, but everyone knew that he had no intention of giving up on anyone from beginning to end

When his companion went, he was sad, he was guilty to death, so he was willing to let himself do all this, but he also knew how small a person's power was, and he also knew that he also needed his companion to lend a helping hand at some times, and why didn't others think so, could it be that their purpose was simple

At this time, everyone saw Liao Dongfeng's behavior, and soon they also surrounded each other, hugged the two of them, and the teammates who had been living and dying for a long time kept hugging each other for a long time, and they all knew that since they had people around them, their world was no longer lonely, no matter what the final outcome would be, they were willing to go on like this

Medioccrity is a lifetime, every choice made is also a well-thought-out memorial person, he has his own set of sayings about life, but these people in front of them don't want to go through this life plainly

The scorching sun of the Gobi Desert scorched mercilessly on the ground, and the heat was rolling in the dilapidated stone houses

As the saying goes, the heart is calm and naturally cool, and everyone at this time also holds this mentality, but heat is enthusiasm, and no matter how quiet it is, it can't stop the heat wave

The tired young people are all asleep deeply, regardless of the existence of Sensen's white bones around them, and they have experienced a lot, and these young people are also slowly growing up, and they have gradually become numb to death and become disdainful

The leaders of several caravans gathered together to discuss the next journey plan, and Liao Dongfeng didn't want to participate, so he walked around the stone house alone

The space in the stone house is large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, looking at the ruins of the ancients, Liao Dongfeng also imagined it, and almost went through the entire process of building this ruins

Soon, his eyes noticed the bones on the ground, so he picked up one of the skulls and put it in front of his eyes to observe it

The skull is full of small holes, although it is not complete, but at least it can be seen how long this person has been dead, with the release of the organ net, Liao Dongfeng began to probe the information left in the brain in the skull, but when the trap net just touched the already shrunken brain, at this time, he saw several ants with a color like blood, and suddenly crawled out

Ants are also life, so Liao Dongfeng also waited patiently for them to leave, looking at these ants with rare colors, Liao Dongfeng also vaguely felt their strength

First, they can survive in such an environment, which is already remarkable, and second, ants are also omnivorous insects, and they mostly live in groups, so in such an environment, their food sources have become very extensive, and it is not surprising to eat the dead

Called the organ network again to investigate the skull, Liao Dongfeng found that there was no brain tissue in it at all, maybe it had already been eaten by ants, so Liao Dongfeng didn't care at first

He gently put the skull on the ground, then picked up a leg bone and gently knocked it on the palm of his hand a few times, and soon several ants fell out

Didn't care about the existence of ants, Liao Dongfeng put the leg bone in front of his nose and sniffed it, and then suddenly picked up the skull and sniffed it, and when he felt that the skull and leg bone did not belong to a person, he hurriedly went to investigate the other bones

Sure enough, the seemingly complete bones do not all belong to one person, if this is the case, then these people who died on the ground should be pieced together by **, but why do this, so that even if a certain body is missing, it will not be found immediately

With doubts, Liao Dongfeng hurried to find others to see what they thought about it

But as soon as he took a step, he heard a slight crunch on the ground, and after moving his foot away, he found that he had stepped on a red ant, but to his surprise, the little ant's body was so hard, and it was unbelievable that the surface of his foot hurt

However, what is even more incredible is that the red liquid flowing from the body of the trampled ant is emitting strands of white smoke on the ground, which is a sign of strong acid, could it be that this ant is a gold-eating ant

I have long heard of the prestige of the gold-eating ants in the sand sea, but a lot of information shows that the gold-eating ants are golden, and these powerful species eat almost anything, even airplanes and trucks

However, what Liao Dongfeng cared about at this time was whether these red ants were gold-eating ants, why their color was different from the gold-eating ants in the record, could it be said that they were another type of gold-eating ants?

"Wake up, wake up, listen well, be careful of these red ants on the ground, they are not good species, they will definitely not be able to stand a bite."

When the sleeping people heard this, they all woke up one by one, and at the same time looked at the few little ants on the ground

When they saw these small red insects less than half a centimeter in length, they shouted a few more boring words about Liao Dongfeng, and then went back to rest

At this time, the people who saw the caravan ignored it, and Liao Dongfeng also carefully lay on the ground to observe these small creatures, and then he saw that more than a dozen red ants were gradually found elsewhere following the smell, and soon the number of red ants became more and more!
