Chapter 542: The Old Site of the Ancient City

Hurriedly ended the rest time, and the group hurried all the way under the guidance of Old Barth, and the direction of escape deviated from the original trajectory of action, but they were able to avoid the 'Desert Fire Phoenix' to the greatest extent.

It's just that this kind of severe storm weather unique to desert land does not move along a specific trajectory, so Old Bart can only rely on his rich experience to find a safe hiding place with the big guys.

Ji Wenlin had popularized the reasons for the formation of the Bad Water Land to everyone before, so under this huge desert land, there are still many ancient cities and villages.

Old Bart wants to take everyone to find one of the old ruins of the ancient city, he does not know the origin of this ancient city, but he has come here to take refuge in the past because of the extremely bad weather in the desert, so after discovering the signs of the 'desert fire phoenix' this time, his first reaction is to take refuge in the old site of this ancient city.

As the minutes passed, the surrounding environment began to change, and from time to time there would be wild sand sweeping by, and the sky became dark.

Originally, the temperature difference between morning and evening in the desert in November was large, but it was not too cold during the day, but it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and the temperature was much lower than at night.

As the wind swept through the sand and dust, the visible distance dropped again and again, until everyone had to maintain a physical distance between them to ensure that no one would go missing for no apparent reason.

After three or four hours of hard work, just when the group was about to be exhausted, Old Bart, who was walking at the front of the line, suddenly waved his arms excitedly, and then blew the whistle hanging around his neck.

Hearing the whistle, the people in the team couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this is the code they agreed at the beginning, in the case of a bad environment that cannot use words to communicate, everything relies on the whistle to transmit information, such as the whistle blown by Old Bart now, which represents the meaning of finding a safe base.

It was already pitch black, and the wind and sand continued, but everyone could feel that the force blowing on their bodies was much weaker than before.

"This is it, dig it out from here, let's hide in the dungeon for the night." Old Barth's eyes were deep, and it seemed that what he saw in front of him was not a desert but a flourishing city.

"Dungeons?" Xia Yanru hadn't used the ability for a long time, so naturally she couldn't see any deeper, but she thought that the ruins of the ancient city that Old Bart brought them to were the kind of ruins and broken walls that remained on the ground, and she didn't expect that a dungeon would emerge.

"Well, hold on, although the wind and sand have weakened a bit, it's not time to relax." Old Bart didn't explain much, and his tone was still heavy.

Everyone didn't talk nonsense when they heard this, even if they were so tired that they couldn't even lift their legs, but their lives were at stake, so they could only start digging according to Old Barth's instructions.

Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and under the unity of the people, a hole for only one person was revealed, and old Bart became the leader again, and bowed down into the cave with the assigned flashlight.

Before leaving, Ji Wenlin had popularized the origin of the formation of this desert with everyone, so he was not too shocked that such a relatively well-preserved underground city would appear here.

"Uncle Bart, are we safe here?" Yu Feng followed closely behind Old Bart, looking around with surprise in his eyes, and at the same time a little worried about whether their group could safely avoid the "Desert Fire Phoenix" that Old Bart said before.

"It's safe, don't worry." Old Bart spoke in a relaxed tone, and he was in a hurry for several hours, with his age, he couldn't bear it for a long time, and he was old in the end, and he sighed in his heart.

Although the dungeon is relatively well preserved, it has been abandoned for a long time, and many houses have long been dilapidated, so Old Bart led the team straight to the center of the city, this place was once where he had taken refuge, and as for other places, because he was not very familiar, there was no need to go too deep.

The group sat in a group, fortunately, in the deserted city, they can also find dead branches and rotten trees that can cause fire, many of which are former house beams, and everyone does not know what it is, as long as it can cause fire, all of them are collected together for later use.

Night had fallen outside, and if there was no fire in the dungeon, it would be so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.

The fire has a limited range of light, and the slightly empty dungeon always feels a little eerie, so after a brief break, the group begins to work in groups, pitching tents for the night, and preparing dinner.

As soon as the camp arrangements were made, Ji Wenlin turned around to look for Xia Yanru, and found her standing alone in front of a stone statue that was so damaged that she couldn't see its original appearance.

"What's wrong?" Ji Wenlin asked softly.

"From the moment I entered here, I always had a feeling of indescribability." Xia Yanru's face was a little pale, and she subconsciously shook her head when she heard Ji Wenlin's question, she didn't know what was going on, anyway, since she entered the dungeon, there was a sense of crisis haunting her heart, but when she investigated, she really didn't find anything abnormal.

"Are you worried about something wrong here?" Ji Wenlin's first thought was that this dungeon might be a trap, not only Xia Yanru had this bad feeling, but also him.

From the moment he entered the Land of Bad Water, Ji Wenlin was wondering where Ji Cong's people were? Although he had laid a lot of obstacles to Ji Cong before, he didn't think that those methods could bring much of a problem to Ji Cong, it was nothing more than being able to restrain some of the other party's forces.

Ji Wenlin guessed that if he and Xia Yanru's sixth sense were not wrong, then there was indeed a problem with this dungeon, and this problem might be the danger inherent in the dungeon itself, or it might come from Ji Cong, maybe Ji Cong's people were ambushed in some dark corner at this time.

"Well, the vigil will be strengthened tonight." Xia Yanru nodded, sometimes she really can't believe her sixth sense or something, anyway, she has always believed in intuition.

While the two were communicating in a low voice, they didn't notice that in a corner of the makeshift camp not far away, Old Bart silently took out a water bladder full of spirits and poured it violently, and then cast it at the backs of the two with obscure eyes.

The entrance to the dungeon has been blocked, and the wind and sand outside cannot blow in, only the sound of the wind squirting enters the dungeon through the small cracks around it, and for a time it is a peculiar rhythm that is intertwined.

The makeshift camp had been set up, and iron pots for cooking rice had begun to be erected on several fires, and the food and supplies prepared for the expedition were easy to store and had a long shelf life, knowing that they would enter the desert.

After a simple meal, everyone arranged the order of rotation duty, and those who did not need to be on duty for the time being entered the tent early to rest, and they were tired from the journey this day.

"What sound?" As soon as one foot stepped into the tent, Xia Yanru suddenly stopped and listened.

It's really really starting to restore the update~~
