"Earth Dragon! It's a ground dragon! I suddenly shouted, "Second uncle! ”

When the second uncle looked back, he was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly came to roll on the spot. Fortunately, the target of the earth dragon was not the second uncle, more precisely, it sank into the sand again without even looking at the second uncle.

The second uncle sat on the ground and didn't recover for a long time.

A few of us hurriedly ran over, and I reached out to help the second uncle up, "Second uncle, are you okay?" ”

The second uncle shook his head, "How can there be such a thing in this place?" Could it be that the legendary earth dragon, in addition to the one I saw in the ancient tomb of the island last time, is still alive? ”

The words of the second uncle reminded me of that trip to the sea, we found an earth dragon in a coffin in the underworld hall in the ancient tomb, and it was a earth dragon that had undergone a corpse transformation, which was probably the first time people encountered animal zongzi in the ancient tomb throughout the ages!

I thought that the earth dragon was the swan song, but I didn't expect to see another living one today, and there may be more than this one. An idea crossed my mind that the island tombs had some connection to this place.

The last official record of the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan was during the Han Dynasty, and after the Han Dynasty, the country was gradually forgotten, and eventually even how it died out is still inconclusive.

At present, one thing we can be sure of is that the history of this country is much older than we imagined, from the Zhou Dynasty more than 1,400 BC to the Han Dynasty 200 BC, the ancient state of Shan Huan has existed for more than 1,000 years, what is supporting such a country for thousands of years? But at the same time, what is the reason that it has changed from a powerful country that can fight with the Zhou Dynasty to a small country with only more than 200 people?

Thinking of this, I can't help but become more interested in this ancient country hidden deep in the desert.

I looked at the second uncle, who was still a little frightened, "Second uncle, your plan has succeeded, we can enter the city!" ”

The second uncle sighed, "My bullshit plan, it's two steps away from being gone!" Ancestor bless! ”

Kong Xue and Shi Tao did not participate in that trip to the island, so they had not seen the earth dragon, Kong Xue patted her chest that was still fluctuating violently, "I'm scared to death, I heard from the second uncle just now, I still think that the things under the sand are really similar to dogs, it feels quite cute, and now it doesn't look cute at all!" ”

I smiled, "In this kind of place, cute things are probably also extremely lethal, and under harsh conditions, you can't survive by being cute!" ”

Shi Tao asked, "Just now you called this kind of thing an earth dragon?" ”

"Yes." The second uncle nodded, then turned to Dawu and asked, "Brother Dawuti, have you ever seen this animal?" ”

Dawut shook his head, "I've heard of it before, but I've never seen it. ”

The second uncle nodded, "Let's go!" Now that we're here, let's move on. In my experience, it is relatively safe for us to enter the ancient city. ”

We continued to walk forward, not far from the ancient city ruins, lying on the yellow sand, like an old man who has been vicissitudes of life, thinking that we will tell the legend and glory of this place.

Not far from the entrance of the ancient city, the dead animal corpse lay down, which should be the camel that was bitten to death by the earth dragon when Ma Liangguo was attacked. The blood on its body had dried up, but the huge wound still made it look shocking.

Dawut had a special affection for camels, and when he saw a dead camel on the ground, he walked over and stroked the camel's head and whispered something.

Seeing that Dawuti finished doing this, we followed the second uncle into the ancient city, and on the ground of the ancient city, there were indeed a lot of marks made by the second uncle with branches and grass sticks, and it seemed that the situation at that time was indeed as the second uncle said.

The second uncle beckoned to us, "Come, help me re-mark the ground so that we can clearly know the movements of the two earth dragons." ”

We nodded and began to rearrange the markers. I found Kong Xue beside me, walking softly and lightly step by step, cautiously, I looked funny, "What did I say, what are you doing?" ”

Kong Xue waved her hand, "I'm afraid of alarming that earth dragon below, you said that if it's in the sand under my feet right now, oops," she said as she shivered, "It's scary to think about!" ”

I smiled, "Silly girl, it won't bite you!" If they would take the initiative to attack people, the second uncle would have had an accident a long time ago! ”

Kong Xue looked incredulous, "How do you know, in case they weren't hungry some time ago, and now they're hungry!" ”

"No, it won't!" I shook my head firmly, then pointed to the camel carcasses not far from the entrance to the ancient city, "If they are like you say, they have such a large piece of food at the door, and they are still fresh." Why don't they eat it. Since they have no interest in eating camels, they are also not interested in you! ”

Kong Xue glanced at me, "Cut, can I compare with a camel." So she was relieved and walked no longer carefully.

The second uncle in front of us heard our conversation, "Actually, Zhuo Ran's analysis is right, I also think that the earth dragon is an animal, thinking about their habits of underground life, I think they may be a scavenger." ”

The second uncle said as he looked at the markers that had been rearranged on the ground, "But Xiaoxue's worries are also reasonable, so," the second uncle reached out and threw his backpack on the top of a stone house, this stone house has been almost half buried by yellow sand, it seems that the second uncle should have spent the night here at that time.

The second uncle continued: "So, let's get off the ground and rest on the top of the rest." ”

When Kong Xue saw it, she immediately responded and threw her backpack on the room.

The second uncle said to us: "The reason why we went to the roof is that we are condescending, so that we can feel the location and movement of the two earth dragons, and also discuss the next move." ”

It was getting dark at this time, and everyone was tired after a day's walk, so everyone camped on the roof to rest, and even if they did something, it would be tomorrow.

In the desert, there is a world of difference between when the sun rises and when the sun sets. As the sun disappeared over the western horizon and the temperature dropped by several degrees, Tago raised a fire that raised the temperature around him a bit.

I took out some food from my bag and distributed it to everyone, Kong Xue looked at the compressed biscuits I handed over, "I really want to vomit this kind of thing!" She looked up at me, "I'd love to have a skewer!" ”

I smiled, "When we go back, I'll treat you to a good meal!" ”

Everyone sat around the fire, and the second uncle glanced around, "How is it?" Do you have any thoughts? Seeing that everyone did not speak, he said to Dawut: "Brother Dawut, you are the guide, what do you think?" ”

Dawut smiled bitterly, "Actually, my guide is really useless here, I don't know what you're here for, but I don't plan to accompany you on the road below." ”

As soon as Dawuti's words came out, we were a little stunned, but after thinking about it, what he said was not unreasonable, in fact, when we arrived at the blood sand area, his guide work had already been completed, and it was really difficult for some strong people to let him follow us to the ground.

Kong Xue said with some worry: "Uncle Dawuti, then do you plan to go back by yourself?" ”

Dawut shook his head, "There is plenty of water here, but food is limited, I will wait here for you for five days at most, and if you don't come back after five days, I will have to go find the camels myself and leave the desert." I hope you don't blame me! ”

After listening to Dawut's words, we also nodded in agreement.

Dawut asked again, "You say there is a passage to the city of King Shanhuan?" ”

The second uncle nodded, "According to the stargazing pulse, this is indeed the case, but if King Shan Huan does not play his cards according to the routine, then we can only consider ourselves unlucky." ”

"Think you're unlucky?" I was a little worried, so I asked, "Second uncle, how sure are you?" ”

"Well," the second uncle groaned slightly, "Judging from the information we found in the current price segment, including the location and layout of Shan Huan Kingdom, he follows a certain feng shui law, so I'm quite sure." ”

"But," Kong Xue frowned and said, "We don't know where the entrance to the royal city is!" ”

The second uncle said: "I have an idea, I think the passage under the black tower should be the entrance to the passage. ”

I still remember the scene I saw on the edge of the basin on the periphery of the royal city, there seems to be a small black tower inside the royal city, and the black tower in the ancient name site where we are now looks the same from the shape to the material. I think there will be a black tower in another acropolis, and the three same black towers may symbolize the unity of the three ends of the leyline.

So we decided to find a chance to go in early tomorrow morning.

In order to nourish their spirits, everyone went to rest early. But we slept very uncomfortably this night, and normally we would choose a leeward position for camping, but this time we set up our tent on the roof, and the cold wind of the night blew mercilessly on our tent. Even though we covered everything we could, it still didn't feel warm. I've also been woken up in the night a few times.

I'm really worried that no one will catch a cold or get sick tomorrow morning. Thankfully, the next morning, I was relieved that everyone had nothing to do except that they didn't sleep well and were a little lacking in energy.

So we began to prepare the things to be used in the Black Tower, and the equipment on our bodies was as simple as possible, only bringing some necessary things for the inverted bucket, reducing the load, and also in order to save physical strength.

My second uncle and I were going to go to the house behind the black tower to fetch some water, and along the way I found that my second uncle was a little restless, and he was looking around, so I asked him, "Second uncle, what are you doing?" What about foraging? ”

The second uncle ignored my ridicule, "You kid is a dog's brain, and Lao Tzu's Uzinamu hasn't been found yet!" I can't lose those things! ”
