Chapter 37: The Ghost of the Sandstorm

Wei Lai's expression became solemn, Huo Meng wanted to talk to him, but when he saw the deep expression, he shook his head to dispel the idea of talking, and looked at the situation around vigilantly.

Wei Lai's expression remained unchanged, and he took the lead in saying to Huo Meng: "Mengzi, we have to be careful here, do you know Peng Jiamu?" ”

"Pengamu?" Huo Meng asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it's Peng Jiamu, I checked a lot of information before I came to Xinjiang, and the most mentioned is Peng Jiamu, who is a famous biologist in the country and has led teams to Lop Nur many times for investigations."

"Wait, biologist, leading the expedition? You can't be mistaken, how can a biologist lead a team to investigate Lop Nur in Xinjiang, a place where birds don't, what creatures are worth studying? Huo Meng interrupted Wei Lai's speech and corrected the suspicions.

"Sandworms." Wei Lai said very seriously, combined with the recent events, he thought that the two were inevitably connected, and continued: "I have had the same doubts as you before, but the appearance of the sandworm just explains this doubt, and the Pengamu incident I am talking about is an unsolved mystery that shocked the world, and even now there is no specific answer. ”

"I'll go, the unsolved mystery that shocked the world?" Huo Meng exclaimed, being a little confused by Wei Lai.

"Yes, when Pengamu led the expedition for the last time, there was a shortage of gasoline and drinking water for the expedition team, and when the country's rescue did not arrive, Pengamu missed the country and wanted to share the pressure for the country, in this case, Pengamu took on the responsibility of finding the water source, so he left a note, and then went to find the water source alone, but this time he disappeared, and when everyone looked for it according to the note left by Pengamu and according to the footprints left behind, after all, no trace was found, and it is still an unsolved mystery until now."

"What a great scientist, giving everything for the country, do you say that Pengamu has something to do with this." Huo Meng suddenly guessed Wei Lai's intentions and felt a little incredible.

"This is where Pengamu disappeared." Wei Lai said solemnly.

"Don't scare me." Huo Meng jumped up from the spot, he was not very afraid of the tomb group, because he had experienced the incident of the Qing Dynasty tomb, he was prepared in his heart, but he was even more resistant to the fear of the unknown.

Huo Meng hesitated, he didn't expect this trip to Xinjiang to be so terrifying, and was about to drink saliva to relieve his depressed mood, gusts of hot wind mixed with wind and sand drifted in, Huo Meng drank the water, and said suspiciously: "What is the situation?" ”

Not long after he finished speaking, the hot wind and wind and sand became bigger and bigger, slowly converging into strong sand, Wei Lai didn't care, but he panicked at this time, and shouted Huo Meng: "Damn, Mengzi quickly find a place to hide, this is a sandstorm." ”

The chance of encountering a sandstorm in the desert is not very large, but as long as you encounter it, it means death, it is very likely to be buried alive by the sandstorm, and finally suffocate to death, when encountering a sandstorm, it is best to look for sandstone or hide behind the camel, and cover your mouth and nose with something to avoid the wind and sand affecting your breathing.

Wei Lai took advantage of the fact that the wind and sand were still completely getting bigger, and ran with Huo Meng is lifeless madness, trying to find a place to hide before the sandstorm came, but the wind and sand were getting bigger and bigger, and the place to hide was never found, and it was difficult to even breathe.

"Wei Lai, things are moving over there." Huo Meng showed surprise on his face, and dragged Wei Lai to the moving thing.

Wei Lai broke free from Huo Meng's pull, supported Huo Meng's movements, his face instantly turned pale, and said tremblingly: "Evil ghost hot wind, that's evil ghost hot wind, it's approaching us, stay away from it, let's stay away from it immediately." ”

Wei Lai's expression was a little crazy, as if he had seen something terrible, looking at the moving figure, dragging Huo Meng back and forth, and shouting tremblingly in his mouth.

Until now, Huo Meng also knew that something was wrong, and when he saw Wei Lai's expression, he knew that he had misunderstood, he thought that the moving figure was a human being, and wanted to step forward to resist the sandstorm together, although Wei Lai did not explain, but the action had already expressed everything.

As Wei Lai and Huo Meng continued to escape, and the faint figure in the sandstorm had been following, the vague shadow walked unhurriedly, no matter how they dodged, it appeared strangely behind them, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

Wei Lai saw that the sandstorm had become bigger, and if he couldn't avoid the weird shadow, the two of them might be more than lucky, so he simply gritted his teeth and escaped from the black rune, using the qi and blood drive of his whole body, and the five black runes went down the sandstorm and floated towards the weird shadow.

At the moment when the black rune collided with the shadow, the scene of the shadow shook, as if it was about to collapse and scatter, but finally resisted the trend of disappearing, and slowly became clear again, Wei Lai thought that the black rune played a role, but when he saw the shadow formed again, he himself became helpless, and now the only way is to escape.

The sandstorm was completely formed, Wei Lai and Huo Meng didn't dare to stop in place, the strange shadow behind them became even more huge, and the distance between the two was even closer, as long as they walked a distance, they could catch up with Wei Lai and Huo Meng.

"Wei Lai, there's a hole there." Huo Meng excitedly pointed to the sand dunes beside him, and because his vision was blurred, he only found it when he got closer.

"Get in here." Wei Lai's face showed joy, as long as there was a hiding place, he could avoid the sandstorm, and the situation of the ghost behind him was unknown, but without the hindrance of the sandstorm, Wei Lai did not say that it was not difficult to destroy the other party, and it was not difficult to resist it.

The place where the sand dunes exist is particularly secret, there are many strange plants growing nearby, and they are obscured by collapsed stones, if it were not for the wind and sand blowing the rocks, this hidden stone cave would not have been found.

Wei Lai and the two threw the package into the cave, and then entered the cave neatly, the cave was pitch black, only the dark light was exposed at the entrance of the cave, and the yellow sand outside was densely swept away, and the whole world was a yellow track, and the yellow sand in the sky baptized everything.

Not long after the two of them entered the cave, a strange shadow appeared outside the cave, a blazing heat wave swept in, and the hot wind blew the yellow sand, constantly rolling and floating outside the cave, Wei Lai and Huo Meng fixed their eyes, and finally saw the appearance of the strange shadow, and their hearts were chilled.

This is not a living human at all, but a strange dried corpse of a dead body, covered in a green color, as if it were rusty and moldy rotten wood, dry and stiff, extremely ugly, with no facial features on the face, sunken nostrils, bare mouth, cloudy green eyes, and the whole body reveals disgusting and weird. In particular, the wound on the chest, which was obviously injured by the black charm, was leaving a disgusting yellow-green thick phlegm-like liquid.

Huo Meng was already frightened to hide behind Wei Lai, and Wei Lai took out the black rune to attack again, although the black rune successfully hit the dry corpse, but the dry corpse seemed to have no consciousness, still wandering outside the cave, as if there was an attempt to enter the cave.

Wei Lai saw that the black rune did not have much effect, you must know that the black rune will have an effect on things like souls, but for these strange dried corpses or zombies, the effect will be greatly weakened, Wei Lai took off the glazed pendant, and just wanted to do it but thought of a better way.

"What about the ancient sword, give me the ancient sword." Wei Lai suddenly thought of the ancient sword in Huo Meng's package, for the ancient sword that could suppress the Tu Yu face flower, Wei Lai believed that it would definitely be able to drive away the strange dry corpse.

Huo Meng was reminded by Wei Lai, only then did he suddenly come to his senses, took out the ancient sword in the package and handed it to Wei Lai, when Wei Lai took the ancient sword, he could clearly see that the ancient sword emitted a misty light, which seemed to indicate the weirdness of the surrounding environment, and the dry corpse outside the cave obviously began to vibrate when the ancient sword appeared, and then hesitated, guarding the outside of the cave, not planning to travel inside.

"Huo Meng, stretch out your hand." Wei Lai's eyes were sharp and bright, staring at the dried corpse outside the cave, and said to Huo Meng behind him.

Huo Meng saw that his ancient sword had an effect, and the strange dry corpse was obviously afraid of the ancient sword, and when he heard Wei Lai's words, he excitedly stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, what are you going to do, just say, ahhh ”

As soon as Huo Meng stretched out his hand, before he finished speaking, Wei Lai took the ancient sword and slashed it on Huo Meng's hand, the body of the ancient sword was stained with Huo Meng's blood, emitting a white light smoke, and the sound of pulling and pulling filled the cave.

Huo Meng didn't expect Wei Lai to cut himself with a sword, his elated expression changed greatly, and he screamed in pain.

Wei Lai ignored Huo Meng's shouts, because Huo Meng had also cultivated soul fire, his own qi and blood were vigorous, and his masculine breath was the nemesis of this evil thing, when Wei Lai was about to swing the ancient sword, the strange dry corpse outside the cave seemed to find danger, and unwillingly opened his mouth and roared, revealing the rotten tongue and mouth inside, and then slowly disappeared into the wind and sand.

When the strange dried corpse retreated, Wei Lai sat on the ground paralyzed, panting heavily, his chest rising and falling, from the appearance of the sandstorm to the departure of the dry corpse, Wei Lai's spirit was in a highly tense state, and now he felt particularly uncomfortable when he relaxed.

Seeing the dry corpse leaving, Huo Meng stepped forward and asked, "Damn, why don't you cut your hands with a sword, why do you cut mine?" ”

Wei Lai didn't have the strength to speak now, so he waved his hand to wait, and after resting for a while, he said angrily: "What do you say, I am holding things in both hands, and you are leisurely behind the back, can you do something?" ”

Huo Meng was speechless by Wei Yu, and he stretched his neck and wanted to refute, but after blushing and thickening his neck, he didn't find a reason, and said stiffly: "Then, then you have to remind me too, so that I can be prepared." ”

Wei Lai didn't bother to deal with Huo Meng, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me that bottle of water, let me have a good rest, fortunately, I will drag you down, if I really listen to you come to you, the two of us will have been eaten by dried corpses a long time ago." ”

Huo Meng took out the drinking water and handed it to Wei Lai, and asked suspiciously: "What is that dry corpse, how did you know that he was not a human at the beginning?" ”

Wei Lai drank the water, wiped his mouth and replied: "You know what the research institution knows, you have time to look at ancient history, Fa Xian, a senior monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty of my country, on the way to the west to learn scriptures, he once wrote a passage, which is to record this strange phenomenon." ”

"What did he say?"

"He said that there are many evil spirits and hot winds in the sand river, and if they meet, they will die, and none of them will ......."

"It's so evil, who would look at such history." Huo Meng also has his own truth, after all, this history is too long ago for people who are not interested to read it.

Wei Lai said mockingly: "Then Tang Seng you know, he also said this, Tang Seng's prototype is Fa Xian, and do you know why so many people died not far from the water source, there are many people who speculate that these strange dried corpses are made." ”

"It's so evil, it's good that you grabbed me, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." Huo Meng's heart palpitated, and he was a little afraid of being said by Wei Laiyi.

Wei Lai rested for a long time before getting up, took out the prepared searchlight and put it on his head, and observed in the cave, don't see that the entrance of the cave is very narrow, but the cave is very wide, and the stone walls around it are reddish-brown, as if they have been corroded by something, and they look very strange.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Lop Po Yadan landform." Wei Lai took out the ancient map to compare, and then closed the ancient map excitedly, and said happily: "This is it, I didn't expect us to find the hole on the ancient map by mistake." ”

Huo Meng also had a smile on his face after hearing this, and he danced excitedly in the cave, but just wanted to pose for victory, but he tripped over something under his feet, Wei Lai used a searchlight to shine it, and when he saw something that tripped Huo Meng, the two of them tightened their hearts at the same time.
