Nazar took Mo Beitian all the way west, and after about two days' journey, the two soon entered the heart of the desert.

At dusk, Nazar ran to a sand dune. He put his hand on the pergola, looked into the distance, and after observing the front, he turned back to Mo Beitian who was following closely and said, "Big brother, I think there will be a sandstorm here at night." This is the season of sandstorms, and it may be too dangerous to travel at night. I see there's a cave not far ahead, so let's just hide there tonight and wait until the sandstorm stops tomorrow. ”

Mo Beitian looked up at the dim sky, and knew that Nazar was right, so he replied loudly: "You are more familiar with the situation here, just do what you want!" ”

Nazar nodded yes, and the two walked down the slope to the sand dunes, stepping on thick sand all the way to the cave.

The inside of the cave was pitch black, and it seemed that there was a lot of space inside. Mo lit a torch and walked in first with a firewood knife in hand.

Due to the lack of water in the desert, there are usually no large animals, but just in case, Mo decided to take a walk around the cave to make sure that the cave was safe.

Under the light of the torches, the situation of the cave is clear at a glance. It's spacious enough for the two of them. The cave has only an entrance and no exit, and the depth is about 30 to 40 meters. The cave was very shady, and the cool place was like heaven compared to the sweltering desert outside. If it's not for the sandstorm, it's a great retreat.

Mo Beitian and Nazar simply cleaned up and lit the bonfire. The two of them sat around the campfire, took out maps and dry food, and discussed tomorrow's itinerary while filling their hunger.

At this time, the wind outside the cave was loud, and the sand and stones were lifted by the wind and hit the stone wall outside the cave, making a dull sound.

"Looks like a sandstorm is coming. I'll go and seal the hole with a sheepskin. Nazar said.

"Well, let's rest early when we get back, I guess we have to leave early tomorrow, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the border in four or five days."

"Don't worry, big brother, the sandstorm will stop early tomorrow morning, and we won't delay for too long." Nazar replied as he went to the entrance of the cave and blocked the door with an old sheepskin.

"Then I'm relieved. I slept first. Come back and sleep. Mo Bitian stretched his waist and turned over and fell asleep.

Little Nazar returned to the campfire and fell asleep after making sure that the entrance to the cave was sealed.

At midnight, the two were asleep soundly, when suddenly an earth-shattering sound woke them up.

Mo Zhitian got up in a hurry, quickly pulled out the wood knife from his waist, and his first reaction when he woke up was that he might have been attacked by someone else. But the tremors of the earth told him that it was not a man-made attack, but an earthquake!

At this point, Nazar also woke up. He shouted, "Big brother is not good! It doesn't seem like a sandstorm! "Of course Mo Zhitian knows that this is not a sandstorm, if there is really an earthquake, then this cave will not be able to stay, and unnecessary hesitation at this juncture will kill people! Mo instinctively bent down and grabbed Nazar under his armpit, and trotted all the way to the hole. The violent shaking made him nearly fall. He froze for a moment, grabbed Nazar with one hand, and cut the old sheepskin with a wood knife with the other, and then jumped out of the breach.

When Mo Beitian put Nazar down, he realized that what was happening in front of him was not as simple as he imagined. A dozen miles ahead of them where they were standing, a huge sinkhole appeared! The so-called earthquake is the reaction of a large subsidence during the formation of a sinkhole. The earthquake lasted only a few seconds, but it was only a few seconds that created such a strange scene.

I've heard of Tiankeng, but I've never seen anything on this scale. Out of curiosity, Mo Beitian cautiously took a few steps forward and looked into the sinkhole. The huge sinkhole was bottomless, and the dark hole seemed to be like a magic eye watching the dirty and dim sky overhead.

Mo Beitian only felt dizzy for a while, his heels didn't stand firm and almost fell, but fortunately, Xiao Nazar pulled him so that there was no accident. At this time, Mo Beitian broke out in a cold sweat, he slowly took a few steps back, sat on the ground with his butt on his buttocks, and gasped for breath with his eyes half-closed.

It wasn't a simple sinkhole, and he could feel a strange aura emanating from the pit. This bottomless pit seemed to be a door, and the other side of the door was closed by a flood beast, and this dizzying aura was emitted by that thing.

"Is this what you call the bottomless abyss?" Don't ask against the sky.

Nazar was also in a trance at this time, to be honest, the bottomless abyss was just a legend, and no one had really seen it. Now that this strange pit was lying in front of him, how could he have known what it was? He couldn't answer Mo Yantian's question, so he could only keep shaking his head, but there were a million questions in his heart that he couldn't sort out.

Knowing that Nazar couldn't explain what it was, he struggled to get up and walked to the edge of the sinkhole. This time he was prepared, holding his breath before poking his head into the sinkhole, trying not to smell the gas flowing in the pit. Sure enough, this time there was no longer the feeling of suffocation and dizziness last time. It's not certain that the gas is at fault, but it seems that there is something wrong in the pit. Mo Zhitian picked up a small pebble from the ground beside him and threw it into the sinkhole. The stone slid down like a stone sinking into the sea, and he never heard the sound of the end until Zuihou. Is it really a bottomless pit? Mo was pacing around the edge of the pit, he was thinking about the origin of the pit. If it's just a simple natural phenomenon, what is the cause? Loose soil? Probably not, the underground channels here are not well developed, and the effect of hydraulic erosion is very small. The soil underneath cannot be so fragile. Is that an underground volcano? It shouldn't be! The Middle East is not in a large volcanic seismic zone, so there is a high chance of a large earthquake or large-scale volcanic activity! So what exactly spawned this pit? Listening to the meaning of the Nazar people, it seems that this phenomenon has been occurring here during this time, otherwise they would not have spread the legend that the bottomless abyss is a harbinger of Allah's punishment of the world. It seems that there is really something hidden behind this sinkhole, but at the moment it seems that his task should be to bring the message to Paul as soon as possible, and other things can be put aside for the time being if they are not related to the mission. For now, it seems that this pit doesn't have much effect on you except for that inexplicable breath, so don't bother to study it.

Thinking of this, Mo said to Nazar: "It seems that this so-called bottomless abyss is not very terrifying. Now it's important to get there, so let's get around it and head southwest. ”

Nazar had no objection, and when he saw that the earthquake had stopped and there was nothing unusual around, he went back to the cave and retrieved his luggage. After a short rest, the two of them hit the road again.

Behind them, the bottomless abyss erupted intermittently with painful wails.
