Under the strong light of the flashlight, a black shadow disappeared from the mound in front of him, and his body should be a living person, his movements were flexible and light, and he did not have the stiff feeling of a dry corpse at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Dong and I immediately chased after us, and when we went around the mound, we found that the figure had run over several more mounds, leaving us far behind, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

It was so fast that I couldn't see who it was, and I couldn't even see what clothes I was wearing.

We checked our surroundings again, and found nothing, so I reluctantly said, "Who is this?" Running faster than the 100-meter champion, Lop Nur is not as desolate as it seems. ”

Li Dong said with some trepidation: "That person just now, could it be...... The legendary sandfolk? ”

I was shocked and hurriedly said, "You mean those replicants?!" ”

Li Dong nodded and said, "I have some suspicions, most of the supernatural events that have happened around Lop Nur recently will be related to these people. And I also have an idea, when I found Pisces Jade Pendant and replicants, it would not be by accident, it should be these people who took the initiative to show up. ”

I pondered for a moment and said, "You're saying that those people have been hiding, maybe in underground structures, and they only show up when they want to reach the outside world. And this time, is it they who have taken the initiative to show up again after more than thirty years? ”

He nodded and said: "I can only guess like this, on the Gobi Desert of Ma Pingchuan, it is too difficult to hide, unless the sand people also have an anti-heaven formation similar to Chenglu Palace, otherwise they can only hide underground, so as to avoid the search from the ground." ”

By this time, it was already dark, the sky was cloudy, there were no stars and no moon in the sky, and the visibility was almost zero.

The figure just now did not carry lighting equipment, but it was able to shuttle through the Yadan landform with complex terrain as usual. It can be seen that he should be well aware of the surrounding environment, or he has special abilities that ordinary people do not have. Combined with his lightning-fast speed, this is very similar to the legendary Sandman.

"The man is still ahead!" At this time, Li Dong shouted again, and we immediately chased in the direction where the figure had disappeared.

There were so many huge mounds here that we blocked our view, and we went around two large mounds, and we lost people again.

Just as we were about to give up and go back and continue our investigation, the figure reappeared......

This time, Li Dong and I glanced at each other and didn't catch up.

Li Dong said: "Something is wrong. ”

I immediately nodded and said, "Yes, this person seems to be trying to lead us over, be careful, put on the thermal imaging camera first, and turn off the flashlight." ”

However, we waited a little longer, but the man never reappeared, probably because we turned off the flashlight.

When I put on the thermal imager, the scene in my eyes turned into blue lines, and the large and small Yadan strange stones looked even more bewitching. In front of us appeared a huge "tiger", which was the shape of those mounds that had been carved out by nature after thousands of years of wind erosion.

The lifelike tiger lay on the ground, its two paws stretched forward, its huge mouth wide open and its head raised to the sky, as if it was roaring in anger.

Because of the anomalous behavior of the dark shadow, we decided to start a search on the spot, and gradually expanded the search area, focusing on this dense group of mounds, which is not too large, only about half the size of the ancient city of Milan.

As I searched, I pondered, that dark shadow was obviously trying to lure us away, and the only thing worth exploring here was the mysterious ancient city, which had rarely been discovered for thousands of years, and how did it become hidden? Under what conditions can I find it?

Lop Nur has always been known for its mystery, and countless adventurers have been lost here. If they are ordinary people, they will definitely think that they are lost and died of lack of water. But I've been through so many strange things, and it is not surprising to me that there must be a formation laid down by the ancients here.

This area has been searched by us, and the black shadow has not reappeared, and Li Dong and I have begun to advance north.

After walking for a few more minutes, Li Dong stopped, pulled me by the hand, and whispered, "Look at the mound in front of you." ”

When I looked up, I was horrified, wasn't the mound in the distance the "tiger" we just saw?!

"Holy! We've been tricked! I said how that bastard disappeared, he led us into the phantom array! ”

We got closer, looked at it from a few angles, and finally determined that this was the mound we had seen earlier.

Li Dong said: "This phantom array is so powerful, you can still get lost while wearing a thermal imager." ”

I said, "The camera also uses these mounds as a reference, and if someone is doing something on the mound, ...... hey...... I understand now that these artificially piled mounds are simply a big array! ”

Li Dong immediately took out the compass, changed a few directions, and said, "The compass on the compass is not good." With that, he pinched his fingers and counted again.

It's just that he babbled and muttered for a long time, but he didn't understand, and finally told me that this place was not within the number of days, and it should be someone with high mana, who isolated this place from the outside world......

I had already had the experience of falling into the phantom array many times, so I immediately took out the rope and connected Li Dong and me with a rope.

The compass had failed, and the sky had no stars or crescent as a reference, so it could only run through like a headless fly. I looked to the right and saw that the riverbank, which was not far from us, was now gone.

There seemed to be a feeling of wetness in the air, but then there was a soft touch under my feet, and I hurriedly stood down and called out to Li Dong at the same time.

He immediately took off the thermal imager, turned on the flashlight and shone it on the ground, and exclaimed, "We've got sand under our feet!" This is...... Yes! Dangerous! Get out of the way!! ”

Li Dong shouted warning to me, but rolled to the side, his strange performance made my scalp tingle.

I looked left and right, and there was nothing around me, and I realized that he was hallucinating. Immediately shouted: "Close your eyes and don't move!" "I pulled the rope hard to prevent him from crashing into the mound next to me.

However, he no longer seemed to hear me, and he was still rolling and moving.

I had no choice but to follow the rope and push him to the ground and not let him move.

Li Dong immediately said loudly: "Ah! Where did you just go? There are so many ...... here."

I covered his mouth and shouted, "Close your eyes!" It's an illusion! With that, he picked up the thermal imager he had on his chest and put it on for him.

Li Dong was quiet for a while, and asked in a low voice, "This, this is ...... Phantom Array? ”

I said, "Yes, when encountering a phantom array, you must first stay calm and don't move. Don't trust your facial features, you will be misled by illusions. ”

Li Dong was still a little worried, and asked me cautiously: "Then I feel that I am falling into quicksand now, which is also an illusion?" ”

Hearing him say this, my heart tightened for no reason, I damn it! How can I feel the way he says I do?

Suddenly, I felt the ground under my feet loosen, as if I had fallen into a pool of mud, and my whole body was sinking into the sand of the ground inch by inch.

Although we had been affected by the illusion before, we were still a little nervous and scared at this time, which felt the same as the time when we were in the yellow sand illusion of the dungeon in Outer Mongolia.

I suddenly remembered the situation at that time, that time, Ansari and I were both in a hallucination, and in the end, if it wasn't for the timely action of the land, sea and air, the two of us might have died in the hallucination.

But what now? There are only me and Li Dong here, and it is impossible for Lu, Hai and Air to come here at all, and now we can only rely on ourselves.

I suddenly thought of something, and immediately said to him, "By the way, what did you say about that hexagram?" That is, waiting in the sand, how to say! ”

Li Dong was slightly stunned, and then said: "You need to be in the sand, you have a little words, and you will be lucky." As the elephant says: It needs to be in the sand, and it is also in the middle; Although it is a small word, it ends with auspiciousness. It means that waiting on the sand, the sand is soft and difficult to pass, will delay the opportunity to lose, and this fault lies in itself. Although there was a slight fault, the final result was good. ”

"Gone? Didn't you say how to solve it? I asked him, puzzled.

Li Dong said: "No, according to the hexagram, we just need to wait patiently." ”

"Holy! You're a fantasy! Now the sand is over the calves, and by the time we're all buried in the sand, we're going to die! ”

Li Dong was also a little confused, as soon as I saw that something bad was going to happen, I had to find a way to do it quickly.

I took out all the things that I felt useful, first I offered the Breaking Charm, but unfortunately it was completely useless, I took out the Vajra Bell again, and while shaking it vigorously, I recited the eight-character mantra aloud.

But the sand still barely reaches the knees, how can this illusion be broken? The last time I encountered the Yellow Sand Fantasy, I fainted in the end, but someone saved my life that time, and now if I faint again, it will really be dead.

Thinking in my heart, I still have my own blood that I haven't tried, although I don't have much hope, but I have to try before I am willing, I immediately pulled out the Tiangang sword, and I was about to cut my fingers.

Suddenly, Li Dong on the opposite side shouted: "Be careful behind you!" ”

I felt a tightening of my wrist, and my arm holding the sword was vigorously grasped, and then a whisper rang out in my ears: "Don't move!" ”
