Get off the asphalt road and go deep into the desert.

It was the first time Fan had seen the depths of the desert, and he thought that the desert would be what it would look like in a primary school textbook - endless yellow sand, rows of poplars, camels traveling west at sunset, and some corpses submerged in the wind and sand. Martha's car was winding in the desert, and the scenery behind the car was a thick cloud of smoke and dust, and in front of her, except for the yellow sand, there were several badly weathered boulder statues in the distance that were crooked and surrounded by yellow sand.

After a steep slope, there was a small village in front of me, with no people, only dry loess walls and empty old houses that almost blended into the desert. Navigation stopped here, and since it was not early, they decided to rest and reorganize here and look for their destination after dawn.

Fan Lifu got out of the car, shook his legs that were about to sit stiff, and wandered around. He couldn't remember the first few days he had come out of Qingcheng, he only remembered that they had been running in the southwest direction, and Martha's old comrade-in-arms borrowed a helicopter from her, and after flying for a while, they changed to off-road vehicles. The people standing here now are all dusty, even Qin Ziyang's white face is about to be scorched yellow by the wind and dust.

In mid-August, the night on the prairie was already cold and windy, and the wind in the prairie was very strong, let alone the desert wind, and if it weren't for these old walls, they wouldn't even have the courage to get off. Martha put together a few sticks with holes, then took out a lighter and lit it, and then took out a small box with chicken and rabbit meat, but both raw. The panda runs out of the buggy with another stick on his shoulder, sets up a grill next to the campfire, and skewers chicken and rabbit meat on the stick.

Fan Li stared at the strange bonfire in front of him in a daze, until Qin Ziyang saw his curious eyes and felt this innocent young man's curiosity.

"In the first year of Ye Yuning's entry into the 'ant nest', she was sent to many places for internship, in the east, in the Amazon jungle, on the border of Yunnan, and in the desert, this genius made many things, such as the bonfire in front of her, she called it the Vulcan Stick, which was full of fuel, and this fuel was solid, very small, and did not occupy a volume, so you can use it as firewood that can be recycled, as for this refrigerator, it was taken out of her hotel by Martha, and it can be regarded as a high-tech, but unfortunately I am not a physicist, so I don't know why, Even if Yu Ning explained it to me, I wouldn't understand. Qin Ziyang lit another cigar, and in the crimson firelight, her foreign face looked extraordinarily three-dimensional, like a saint in an oil painting, and like a statue standing on the top of a high mountain.

"Are you sure we're in the right place?" Fan asked Li.

"I don't know." Qin Ziyang said with a smile, his relaxed appearance was annoying. "The world is unpredictable, there are dangers everywhere in the desert, and the closer we get to the prison, the more dangerous it becomes, because the prison used to be an ancient tomb, and when Rampa found it, he felt that this place was almost isolated from the world, so he threw all the wicked here, so when we felt that it was dangerous, it was when we were about to reach our destination."

"And how do these prisoners live?"

"Of course there are guarded 'ant nest' soldiers." Panda interjected. "And those soldiers are robots and won't be bribed."

"Robots?"

"Don't worry, they approve of your 'Ant'Hive' pass, but the dangers of the underground don't seem to recognize you as a spirit thief." Qin Ziyang shook the rabbit meat in front of him, took out a knife and skillfully cut a slice and put it in his mouth.

Looking at Qin Ziyang shaking the shelf, Fan Li's ears suddenly sounded like the rustle of the wind blowing through the leaves, and it was the dry leaves of the north entering late autumn.

Fan Fox shook his head, attracting the attention of Masha and Panda, but neither of them spoke, and Fan Fox saw that Masha was also holding a cigar, and God knows why they loved cigars so much.

Fan turned his head to look at the desert at night through the gap in the earthen wall at the edge of the village, and he could only see the shadows of the layers of sand brought by the wind, perhaps the sound of the sand. He turned his head and continued to look at the rabbit meat and chicken beside Qin Ziyang, and suddenly caught a glimpse of some thin scorpions crawling on the wall behind Qin Ziyang, the scorpions were dyed red in the firelight, and they looked very dazzling.

"Leave them alone, they're just friends." Qin Zi raised his head and said to Fan Li, Fan Li was surprised that Qin Ziyang, who had been concentrating on barbecue, noticed his every move so easily.

Qin Ziyang left the rabbit leg and handed it to Fan Li.

"Let's make do with it, if the rain is here, you'll have more appetite, right? This little goblin can make all the wild vegetables delicious, but the wild vegetables themselves are also delicious, such as the Hara Sea. ”

"She's not here, and I have the same appetite." Fan Li smiled and took the rabbit leg, he hadn't seen the meat for a few days, and took a hard bite, feeling that the rabbit meat was very silky.

In less than ten minutes, there was a pile of bones left in front of him, Fan Li was surprised by the speed at which the panda and Martha ate, their teeth were like cutting machines, and the panda was even more ruthless, at first he was holding half a chicken, Fan Li didn't see him spit out the chicken bones, and the chicken bones on the ground almost came from Martha alone.

Qin Ziyang just roasted, but didn't eat much, she never seemed to show hunger, just looked at Fan Li's eating appearance and kept laughing, sometimes Fan Liyang would find that she stuffed something into her mouth, but she didn't know what it was, it seemed to be the size of coffee beans.

"I saw a picture of him and Justin at my grandfather's research institute, and I wanted to know who this Justin was." Fan asked Li.

"It's a bald scoop." Qin Ziyang replied without thinking about it, and laughter came from the panda's side.

"He's a smart guy." Qin Ziyang felt that it was too ugly to say this, so he immediately changed his words.

"He studied antiques with my grandfather, do you think I will have a chance to meet him?"

"See him? After I was thrown into prison, the older generation of fighters withdrew, and only Crum Young was left, and it took a while to meet Justin, and I couldn't help with that, because my connections weren't strong enough to find him. Qin Ziyang picked up something from the bonfire and threw it into his mouth, when there was a rustling sound behind him, Fan Li turned his head to look at his back, it was still pitch black.

Fan Li's heart began to feel that something was wrong, so he stood up and looked at the desert in the dark. Blue flames spread from the back of his hand to the palm of his hand, and finally turned into a hammer that shimmered with blue light.

"What's wrong?" Qin Ziyang looked up at Fan Li, who looked vigilant, and Panda and Martha subconsciously took out their pistols.

"We spirit thieves can hear the voice of the soul, and this thing is called the voice of the soul. I just heard a rustling sound all the time, I don't know what it is, it could be the wind, it could be something else, at first I thought it was the sound of sand, but then I found out that it was wrong, as long as the sound of a fixed frequency kept appearing, it meant that nothing was good. ”

"And what do you think will happen in this sandy area? Mongolian worms emerging from the ground, swarming golden man-eating ants, or desert knights from Thorn Tomb? Qin Ziyang walked up to Fan Li, who glanced at her and saw her throw a black beetle into her mouth, and he clearly saw the beetle's six legs kicking in the air.

"You ......" Fan Li looked at Qin Ziyang with wide eyes, he really didn't expect such a beautiful girl to eat such a disgusting thing, thinking that he had kissed her a few days ago, he only felt his stomach churning.

"What's wrong? Insects are high in protein, and even Wangfujing in Kyoto has a lot of insect food, and you can see scorpions when you eat roast duck. Qin Ziyang said and threw a black beetle into his mouth.

The rustling sound in his ears was getting closer and closer, and Fan Li only felt that in this environment, such a rustling sound would only make people creepy.

"I once read it in my grandfather's "Soul Thief Ceremony", there are many resentful souls in the desert, they are entrenched in the dark night of the desert all year round, and such lonely souls may attach themselves to the dried corpse and act."

"Ancient corpses? You still have the moonlight in front of the bed. Qin Ziyang smiled disdainfully, she looked back at Panda and Martha, these two guys actually raised their rifles and waited for them. Her face immediately changed, and she looked at the darkness in front of her with Fan Li.

The strong wind blew away the clouds, and the moonlight shrouded the land, and in the silver desert, Fan Li saw five or six figures standing on the far, far away hillside, they were very thin, and they appeared and disappeared in the wind.

"It seems a bit unwise to light a fire in the desert." Qin Ziyang said helplessly.

"Shhh......hhh

"Not good!" Fan Li suddenly waved the hammer in his hand and hit it towards the oncoming cloud of smoke, he only felt that his palm was slightly numb, he was sure that it had hit something, and before he could see what it was, he heard the gun in the hands of Martha and the panda, and some fragments jumped to his face, and an animal that kept churning appeared underground.

"Wolves?" After Martha and the panda turned off the fire, Qin Ziyang half-squatted beside the dead thing, and she found that it was the dried corpse of a wolf, and many parts of its body had been shattered by bullets.

"Do you know what these things are called?" Qin Ziyang turned his head to look at Fan Li.

"We spirit thieves call them sand guards, usually the guardians of the desert underground mausoleums."

There was another commotion in front of them, and Martha and Panda shot again, and another dried corpse fell to the ground.

"Looks like these are scouts, and if I'm not mistaken, the best is yet to come." Qin Ziyang drew his pistol and shot it at the sky, at this time, a black storm suddenly rolled up in front of him, and the dried corpses that rushed over next were involved, and the storm slowly moved forward, and the two dried corpses were only bones, and the paper-like dry skin was eaten up.

"Here they are." Fan Li's warning, and Masha and Panda immediately changed their magazines.

At this moment, a warrior wearing a leather jacket and a mask suddenly came out of the left, holding a scimitar with a hook, and slashed at the nearest panda, the panda dodged his attack, and smashed him in the face with the butt of his gun, only to hear a crisp sound, he took a few steps back, and the mask on his face was smashed, revealing a blood-red eye. He shook his head and rushed up with another swing of his knife, being beaten into a sieve by Martha.

"Do you have a better way to deal with them?" Qin Ziyang pulled out two Nepalese sabers, which were similar to Ni Ziqiong's before, she resisted the rushing Sha Wei on the one hand, and shouted at Fan Li, but Fan Li was also busy. The Regent turned into a spear and impaled the head of one of the Shamen, and he swung it to the left, carrying the corpse with him to the ground.

"These dead people are just the shells of ancient soldiers, the burial goods in the tombs, and the shawei are the souls, as long as we break their shells, they will leave, but I am sure of one thing, there must be mausoleums around here!"

"Mausoleum? Are we really in the right place? God is so good to us that we can just get it. Qin Ziyang stabbed two knives in the face of a sand guard, the sharp knife pierced his mask, and then stabbed into its head like a drill, and a stream of mucus collapsed into Qin Ziyang's body.

"It's disgusting!" Qin Ziyang kicked away Sha Wei with his prosthetic leg and shook off the mucus in his hand.

"Look at that!" Fan Li patted her on the shoulder, she looked ahead, and by the moonlight, she saw a sand guard on a war horse, he wore a wolf helmet, armor, and a slender spear, and the war horse under his crotch, his eyes glowed blue, and from time to time he sprayed a terrifying cold air.
