readx; Chapter 489: The Death Storm of the Ancient Kingdom of Lou Nan (I)

Therefore, we did not pay much attention to Gutise's behavior, and besides, he said that he had been here many times, and since that was the case, it was reasonable for him to lead the way. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The scorching sun turned westerly and the temperature also dropped, which somewhat lightened our burden, and under the leadership of Gutise, the group followed the original route.

Maybe the East Turkistan elements were too strict, or maybe everyone was too tired and everyone didn't speak, but I always had a puzzled question in my mind: What exactly is the "underground city"? Hearing that the name is like a city, will it have something to do with the mystery of Loulan's disappearance? Could it be related to the disappearance of Aunt Lin and her party 20 years ago? Will it be the real destination of our trip?

I'm a little crazy, I can say that from the moment I planned to set foot in Xinjiang, I have been kept in the dark, I thought that we went to Xinjiang to Lop Nur to find the mystery of Loulan's disappearance, but suddenly changed the route and did not go to the Peacock City ruins, suddenly there was a "sea of death", all of a sudden there was a "death storm", and now there is a "dungeon", so where is our real destination?

How much more do I not know? Although the fat man and I are nominally helpers, or porters, as part of the team, we should at least let us both know the true destination of our trip, right?

However, in this regard, not only did the professor and Lisa not tell me the truth, but even Meizi did not tell me, which made me very puzzled and a little annoyed! Even if these are confidential and can't be said, at least they can't lie to us!

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and I looked at Meizi next to me, and couldn't help but ask her about the "dungeon".

I was already unhappy in my heart, and I almost "stormed" after being kicked by him, but I still endured it, after all, if we really started with them now, it would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. I cursed in my heart, Lisa also shook her head at me when she saw this, signaling me not to be impulsive, and Meizi also told me softly, saying that she would tell me when she had a chance later.

I sighed helplessly, although I was unwilling, but in the face of the black muzzle, I finally suppressed the curiosity and anger in my heart.

The group "blindly" exercised in the vast sea of sand, of course, we did not dare to be careless during the walk, constantly paying attention to the surrounding landscape.

If David's handbook is correct, the entrance to the "dungeon" is supposed to be near the mouth of a gourd with terrain like a gourd. Therefore, we did not dare to relax, and as we walked, we looked at the surrounding terrain and landforms, and from time to time Amza and Bumaiti would send people to climb high places to observe. But this walk lasted more than two hours, and we didn't find any clues. To make matters worse, we found that, unknowingly, there was a gale around us all of a sudden.

This gale is not the same as the heat wave that is unique here, the heat wave is just heat, but this gale is not only hot, but also very fierce, mixed with fine sand blowing on the body as if countless ants are biting.

"Are you going to scrape the sand city storm?"

The most terrifying thing in the "Death Desert" is the "Death Storm", and after all this time, we have not encountered the rumored "Death Storm", not even the slightly larger wind and sand, so we have almost forgotten that there is such a thing as "Death Storm".

We're wishful thinking that we're getting closer to the dungeon, and we're more likely to encounter a death storm. Therefore, when this gale appeared around them, the first thing that came to everyone's mind was the storm of death, and at the same time, their hearts were raised.

We are afraid, Amza and other East Turkistan elements are naturally the same, because most of these East Turkistan elements are locals, they are familiar with the horror of the "death storm", so they are particularly uneasy, although they do not say it explicitly, but it can be seen that they all have the idea of turning back, and even a few people have stopped.

Amza frowned, and in order to stabilize his position, he said that this was not a "death storm", just ordinary wind and sand, and told them not to worry.

Saying that, the subordinates didn't buy it much, and Amza had no choice but to shoot into the air and threaten to kill anyone if they wanted to go back.

This worked, and when the East Turkistan elements heard Amza's threat, they did not dare to back down anymore, so they could only bite the bullet and continue to walk after us.

"It seems that they are not very united, just a rabble, maybe this is not a good thing for us"

The fat man who witnessed all this retracted his gaze and said softly: "In the face of interests, such a person is the most unreliable. There are all indications that the man named Bumaiti and Amza are not subordinate, and there are differences between the two, and we will act on the opportunity, and if there is civil strife between them, it will be the best, and we can reap the benefits."

The fat man's analysis is reasonable, but it is somewhat unreliable to expect such a thing as civil strife in them, at least until the treasure is found, but there is always hope for people! If there is no hope, then what is the point of living? It is better to find a tree and find a rope and hang yourself.

Amza intervened by force to stabilize his subordinates, and it seemed as if they were twisted together again and became a concerted force, but in fact, even he did not know.

However, at the moment we are worried about the "storm of death", we have not encountered wind and sand along the way, and now there is such a gale wind around us for no reason, and it is continuous, which is by no means good news for us. So everyone was worried.

However, there was one exception, and that was Gutise, who, shortly after the appearance of the gale, did not show the slightest fear, but was agitated, and told us in a loud voice that we were not far from the "dungeon".

Amza was thrilled when he heard the news, but with a skeptical look on his face, he ran over and grabbed Gutise and asked him what he meant.

With a sneer, Gutise said: "This gale must be the afterwind of the "Death Storm", it is rumored that the "Death Storm" is a barrier set up by the Loulan wizard to protect the Queen's treasure, and it usually only appears not far from the treasure, it seems that we are not far from the "Dungeon"

"Are you sure? You know, if you let me know you're lying to me, you're going to end up badly?"

"I'm sure because that's what the folk rumors say. ”

Gutise nodded affirmatively, his face not in the slightest unsettled by Amza's threat. As soon as he said this, all the East Turkistan elements, including Amza, blossomed. Even we are full of expectations, after all, it is the treasure and "blood droplet" of the legendary Queen of Loulan, who does not yearn for it.

Excited to learn that we were getting closer to the "dungeon", Amza told us to hurry up. However, all the way here, I don't know if it's because it's almost close to the dungeon, and the road conditions suddenly become very bad.

There is no road in the desert, you have to rely on one step at a time to get out, in the previous journey, because the sand on the ground is relatively thick and firm, and you will not sink too deep when you step on it, so it is relatively easy to walk. But the current situation is that as we move forward, the road surface that was originally relatively strong, and now when we step on it, the sand is almost buried to a third of our calves.

Even though we were wearing boots, we couldn't stop the sand from pouring into our shoes, so instead of speeding up, the crowd walked more and more slowly.

The reason for this is probably related to the surrounding gale, and in most places in the desert, the reason why the sand is strong is because of the accumulation over the years, and the gap between the sand and the sand has become smaller, so that it does not sink too deep when stepped on.

But the wind will change this state, and the wind will blow the unchanging sand away, blow it thin, and then recombine and repeat, so that the sand under the terrain will become very soft and the sand will become finer. >
