Seeing that the ant colony was less than ten meters away from the camp, and judging by the speed of their migration, I am afraid that in less than half a minute, our camp will be occupied by the terrifying ant colony.

Because the time was too short, there were still many materials that had not been packed, but there was no way, everyone hurriedly got into the jeep, and was about to drive away, but suddenly out of nowhere came a melodious flute sound, this flute sounded somewhat familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere, and at the same time, I smelled a strange smell.

This smell is not fragrant, it is not smelly, I really can't describe what kind of smell it is, and I don't know where it came from.

And then, a miraculous scene appeared, and the ant colony, which had already swarmed and was close to us, stopped advancing, and after a moment's pause, retreated like a tide.

Looking at the ant colony that was gradually moving away, everyone was speechless in shock, and they didn't know what was going on. The melodious sound of the flute soon stopped, and after another moment, two figures, one tall and one short, approached us from the direction where the colony had disappeared.

Everyone was more and more shocked, what is the situation, these two people and the terrifying ant colony encountered it head-on, and they were able to be safe and sound, and they walked very calmly, and it seemed that they were not affected by the ant colony at all.

Because he didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, Chen Biao immediately picked up the automatic rifle in his hand, pointed the muzzle at the two people, and shouted: "Stop!" What a person! ”

The two figures stopped, and a familiar voice came: "Hmph! It's really good to be kind, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's timely action, I'm afraid you would have become a bunch of insect food by now. ”

I was stunned for a moment before I realized that it was the voice of an old ghost! I hurriedly got out of the car and shone a flashlight, and sure enough, it was an old ghost! And the other tall man is actually Long Jiansheng.

I didn't expect to meet them in such a place, I was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet them, and asked them, "Old ghost senior, Young Master Long, why are you two here!?" ”

The old ghost said angrily: "If it weren't for you kid, you think I'd be willing to come to this ghost place!" ”

"For me?" I was even more surprised.

"It's not Lao Jiu's guy yet, he said you are in danger, so let us two help you."

It turned out that Long Jiu asked the two of them to come, and I was even more shocked, I really didn't expect Long Jiu to feel my whereabouts so clearly, and even he knew that I was coming to Lop Nur.

The others soon gathered over, Wen Qingshan hurriedly clasped his fists, and greeted the old ghost with a smile: "Old ghost senior, don't come unharmed." ”

The old ghost nodded at him and didn't say anything more.

Long Yi was very surprised, and he asked me, "Brother Shi Yu, do you know them?" ”

I nodded and said, "This is the old ghost senior." ”

"Old ghost senior!? Could it be that Your Excellency is the three-inch nail old ghost who once moved the rivers and lakes? Long Yi exclaimed.

The old ghost raised his head and gave him a blank look, without saying a word, he took out something from his arms and threw it over, Long Yi hurriedly reached out to catch it, looked down, it turned out to be a metal sign, and on this sign, there was a dragon head pattern engraved, I recognized it at a glance, it was the logo of the Dragon Shield Bureau.

Seeing this metal sign, Long Yi was even more shocked: "Could it be that you two are also ......?"

As soon as he said his words, the old ghost waved his hand and interrupted him: "Lao Tzu is not from your Dragon Shield Bureau, this thing was given by Lao Jiu, he asked me to show you this thing if I run into you, so as not to cause any misunderstanding." ”

Hearing the old ghost say this, Long Yi seemed to immediately understand something: "Dr. Ouyang said that if there is any trouble in this operation, there will be a master to help, it turns out that you are the master of the senior." ”

The old ghost was a little impatient with Long Yi's flattering words, he pouted his lips and said, "Don't talk nonsense, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, let's leave first." ”

"Please also ask the seniors to show the way, where should we go?" Long Yi asked the old ghost.

The old ghost raised his hand and pointed into the distance, and said, "Sixty miles to the west, there is an abandoned beacon tower, and that place is a good place to live." ”

Long Yi was slightly stunned: "You mean, sixty miles to the west?" ”

"yes, is there something wrong?"

"It's not a problem, it's just that we're here to search for the whereabouts of the missing team members, and if we go sixty miles to the west, it's beyond the scope of our search......

Before Long Yi could finish speaking, the old ghost interrupted him: "I know you are looking for someone!" But how can you be sure that they won't go sixty miles away! ”

Wen Qingshan heard the clue from the old ghost's words, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of insight does the old ghost's predecessor have?" ”

The old ghost said unhurriedly, "I can't talk about it, but I found something there this afternoon." Speaking of this, the old ghost took out something from his arms and handed it over, Long Yi hurriedly reached out to take it, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a pair of windproof glasses!

Seeing the windproof glasses in front of him, Long Yi's face showed a look of shock: "This ...... It's their stuff! ”

"Brother Long, how can you be sure that this pair of glasses must be theirs?" I asked, puzzled.

Long Yi replied: "Do you know, this is the latest development of windproof glasses, which have not been marketed at all, but are only allocated to the team members participating in this expedition, so I can almost conclude that this pair of glasses was left by them." ”

Speaking of this, Long Yi seemed to suddenly think of something, and without saying a word, he quickly ran to the jeep he was riding, we didn't know what he was going to do, out of curiosity, we all immediately followed.

He took a satellite map from his car, spread it out directly in the sand, and lay down next to the map to examine it carefully.

After looking at it for a while, he raised his head and asked the old ghost, "Old ghost senior, are you sure that the place where you found these glasses is an abandoned beacon tower located sixty miles to the west?" ”

The old ghost said angrily: "I said that you are doubting Lao Tzu's sense of distance or direction!" To tell you the truth, even if you are underground, Lao Tzu can still distinguish between the southeast and the northwest! ”

What he said is not an exaggeration at all, when we were looking for the entrance to the imperial tomb underground, we searched around in the intricate underground caves, and everyone else was already in a daze, only the old ghost, but he was still able to accurately identify the direction, and it was by him that we could find the entrance to the imperial tomb in the shortest possible time.

Long Yi hurriedly said, "No! No! I don't dare to doubt my predecessors, it's just that this thing is a little strange, how can they go so far in the sandstorm!? ”

I said, "What's so strange about that, maybe they've been there before!" ”

"Nope! Their previous satellite locators were able to send signals normally, and we can be said to know their movements well, and judging from their previous movements, they have not been to the west sixty miles away at all. Because it's beyond our designated search. When Long Yi said this, he turned to Ai Shan and asked, "Brother Ai Shan, do you know if there is an ancient building similar to a beacon tower sixty miles to the west?" ”

Ai Shan nodded and said, "There are dozens of large and small beacon towers scattered around Lop Nur, although most of these beacon towers have become a ruin, but a few are relatively well preserved, and it is indeed the best place to avoid sandstorms. ”

After listening to what Ai Shan said, Long Yi frowned and muttered for a while, then turned to Chen Biao and said: "Captain Chen, it seems that we are only afraid that we have delineated the wrong range, we have always thought that their signal is disappearing here, so we took this place as the center and demarcated a search range with a radius of fifteen kilometers, but now it seems that I am afraid that I underestimated their mobility, and I didn't expect them to be able to face the sandstorm and travel more than sixty miles on foot." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Batur on the side said: "It's not necessarily that they really went so far, there is still a possibility." ”

"What is possible?" Long Yi hurriedly asked.

"When the sandstorm comes, the satellite signal will be interfered with, and there may even be a deviation, maybe the place where their signal disappears is not here, but because there is a deviation, we think it is here," Batur said. ”

"That's right! That's right! How could I not have thought of this! It must be that. The mystery seemed to have finally been solved, and Long Yi shouted excitedly.

The old ghost on the side said coldly with an expressionless face: "Since you have figured it out, let's leave quickly!" Otherwise, I'll have to waste my energy again when the sand eaters come back. ”

After speaking, the old ghost walked straight towards one of the jeeps unceremoniously, and Long Jiansheng, who was carrying a five-foot long sword on his back, still didn't say a word, just followed closely behind the old ghost.

After the two of them got into the car, Long Yicai whispered to me, "Brother Shi Yu, who is the young man who followed the old ghost senior?" ”

I replied truthfully: "He is the righteous son of Long Jiujiu Ye, called Long Jiansheng, he is a cold-blooded killer, it is best not to provoke him." "Although I once lived and died together in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, I didn't have much affection for Long Jiansheng, mainly because he was too indifferent, and he was a little unkind.

And when Long Yi heard me mention Long Jiu's name, his body immediately trembled slightly, and the expression on his face changed immediately, it seemed that he knew who Long Jiu was, but he didn't say anything more in front of me, but I suddenly thought that Long Yi and Long Jiu, the names of the two seemed to have some origin, and they sounded like brothers. It's just that Long Yi is only in his thirties, and Long Jiu is said to be over eighty years old, so naturally they can't be brothers, so what is the relationship between them?
