At this time, An Yi and the others were still less than half a day's way away from the ruins of the West Night Ancient City, the wind had stopped, and the sun like a fireball hung in the air.

In ancient times, the orogeny of the West Malayas formed the Tarim Basin, and the terrain of the entire Xinjiang was like a big bowl, with a bowl of golden yellow sand in the bowl, and the camel team composed of nine people and nineteen camels was too small, and its proportion was less than one ten-thousandth of a grain of sand in this bowl of golden sand.

The desert is vast, there is no boundary, if it weren't for the long footprints behind him, he wouldn't even feel that he was constantly advancing, and he admired those explorers who entered the desert Gobi Desert alone, maybe only by walking alone between heaven and earth, they would experience the true meaning of life, but admiration and admiration, he really didn't think about whether he would do it like this.

Ye Yixin and the others were very curious, and asked Wu Meng to talk about the desert marching ants while walking, Wu Meng was a genuine special soldier, of course, he was well-informed, and explained as he walked.

"The reason why this kind of ant colony is called marching ants is because they have a high degree of organization and discipline, mainly soldier ants, if compared with human armies, in addition to mobility and firepower, the coordination and organization ability of well-trained human armies cannot be compared with desert marching ants. ”

As he walked, the sand dunes under his feet were high and low, undulating Cheng dù was unprecedented, and everyone walked up to the highest big sand mountain, An Liman suddenly pointed to the south: "See there, there is our intermediate station, the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye." ”

Comfortably looking up, there is no need to use a telescope like everyone else, and an oasis in the hinterland of the sand sea can be seen.

An oasis in the desert resembles an emerald adorned on a gold plate, and from a distance, the ruins of a black city stand in it.

The ruins of the West Night City are quite well preserved, and the age of this city is relatively late, until the end of the Tang Dynasty was destroyed in the war, since then, it has been abandoned to the present, at the beginning of the 19th century, German explorers appeared here, most of the murals and statues and other artistic value of the ruins were looted.

Only this empty city is left in the desert, the oldest ancient channel of the Peacock River, so far, because the city from ancient times to the present, there are underground water veins all year round, it has become an important supply point for travelers in the desert.

The camel caravan went down the big sand mountain, slowly marched towards the oasis, it was not far from the oasis on the sand mountain, but it took three hours to walk, the city wall is made of black stones, some places have been weathered, the damage is very strict, only the main city is quite solid, and the glorious weather of the year can still be vaguely seen.

They found a spacious room in the main city, lit a campfire, and ate and made tea.

After resting for three days in West Night City, replenishing some water, the archaeological team headed south and finally entered the sand sea known locally as the "Black Desert". There are no more poplars in the desert, and there are no undulating sand mountains. The sand dunes around are almost the same, like flat steamed buns, boundless, on the ground, from any angle is the same scenery, there is no sign of life.

There are six largest internal water systems in China in the desert, but many water systems such as the Tarim River have seeped into the sand, and the desert with no grass on the surface may be a turbulent dark river in the deep underground.

Some plants that grow in the desert survive tenaciously by virtue of the water vapor that rises to the surface of the desert by the underground water veins. In fact, in addition to a small number of plants, there are also many animals here, but most of them come out to forage for food in the cold night.

In the Han Dynasty and earlier, the Taklamakan was known as the "ancient homeland", when the desertification of this area was not strict, the rivers had not yet seeped into the ground, there were oases and towns, forts, Buddhist temples, post stations, and countless caravans carrying silk spices and tea to and fro until the Yuan Dynasty, when the famous Italian Marco Polo also passed through here with caravans to the Central Plains.

When China reached the Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire that collapsed Europe and Asia rose, and the war blocked the commercial trade between Europe and Asia. Coupled with the increasing erosion of the desert and the harsh living environment, the large and small countries in the desert have completely decayed, and the prosperity and glory of the past have been taken away by the gods.

The Black Desert was the first place abandoned by the gods, and the civilization here stopped in the Jin Dynasty, and the legend has it that Hu Da's anger engulfed the pagan city, and to this day, the Black Desert is still lifeless.

The terrible thing about the black desert is not the quicksand that traps people, nor the gold-devouring ants that can gnaw the car clean, nor the black storm, the legend is that there is a dream place in the depths, after people go in, they will see lakes, rivers, beauties, mythical beasts, snow-capped mountains, oases, those thirsty and tired people are naturally running towards those beautiful scenery desperately walking and walking, but until they die of thirst and exhaustion, they can't go. For the superstitious, it is all a trap set by the devil to lure people to die in it. In the eyes of scientists, people may see a mirage in the desert, and people who don't know the truth are indeed easily confused.

But fortunately, Anyi encountered quicksand and gold eater ants, but they did not encounter that dream place.

It was Qin Xueming who was almost swallowed up by quicksand, but fortunately, it was early now, and he was brought up by An Yi's light skills, after this incident, everyone became more and more convinced of An Yi, at least even Ma Bin didn't dare to gossip, after all, one here could lose his life if he was not careful, and when he saw An Yi's ability, he was even a little stammered.

For more than 20 days, the archaeological team went deeper and deeper in the black desert, and two huge black mountains appeared in front of them, not so much mountains, but two large black stones.

Both of these boulders are about a few dozen kilometers in diameter, with only a shallow ridge exposed in the sea of sand, and the larger part is buried in the ground, perhaps below, the two boulders themselves are connected, and the mountain pass may be nothing more than a crack in the boulder.

The black stone contained magnets, and although the average content was not high, it was enough to affect the precision instruments used to determine the bearing, and everyone felt that the metal objects on their bodies were gradually becoming heavier.

The moonlight reflected nothing on the black stones, and it was even darker in the valley that ran north and south.

According to Professor Hao and Chen Jie, the information her father obtained, the "Exquisite Ancient City" may be inside!

Chen Jie couldn't wait to confirm whether there was a superb ancient city behind it, whether his father was in it or not, whether he had come here or not, so everyone didn't stop, stumbling all the way, passing through the valley like a gate, and when they finally got out of the valley, the sky was already bright.

A dark red crack opened in the distant sky, and after a while it turned rose, blood-red, and finally turned into ten thousand golden rays, and the top of the sun's arc was exposed, and at this moment, the boundless sand walrus was turned into gold melted in God's furnace.

In this golden molten desert, a huge city is displayed in front of everyone, countless broken walls, bricks, wood, earth and stone buildings, countless towers and enemy towers in the city, the most prominent is a black stone tower that has been tilted, quietly towering in the city.

After 2,000 years, the ruins of the exquisite ancient city really still exist in the deepest part of the desert. Finally in the eyes of the world again.

The scale of this exquisite city is enough to live 50,000 or 60,000 people, and famous cities such as Loulan in those days, in their heyday, were only 10,000 or 20,000 residents and more than 3,000 troops.

The city has largely been ruined, buried in the desert for more than a thousand years, some parts are difficult to distinguish between sand dunes and fortresses, and most of the towers have collapsed and weathered.

There is a huge magnetic field here, it is difficult for airplanes and other tools to fly in the sky, and it is located in the heart of the desert, it is estimated that few people can find this place, I don't know how many explorers and lost people have come to this legendary ancient city before they are comfortable, and the only thing that can be confirmed is that 99% of them will never return to their homeland.

An Yi looked at the scenery in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh, unlike everyone, what he saw was not only the ruins of the wall, but also the city in his eyes, which had been covered by a strong yin and evil aura at this time.

Looking at the people who were excited, An Yi didn't care if it was suitable or not, and directly poured cold water and said: "If you go in, I can't guarantee that you can all survive, not at all!"

"Why did Mr. An say that?" Chen Jie frowned.

An Yi pointed to a black stone pagoda in the ruins of the broken wall, and said: "The yin qi here is condensed, very rich, especially the black tower, the yin qi in it is vigorous and endless. Even under this scorching sun, it can maintain such a yin energy, which is enough to reflect the ferocity of this place. ”

After more than half a month of study, Xu Hui also had a small understanding of the "Maoshan Secret Technique", and couldn't help but point to the magic trick when she heard the words, and said coquettishly at the center of her eyebrows: "The heavenly law is clear, the earth law is spiritual, the yin and yang are spiritual, the water spirit is manifest, the spiritual light is water, the heaven reaches the earth, the law is pursued, the yin and yang law mirror, the true form appears, the true form is present, I follow the law of Sanmao Zhenjun!

This is the first time she has opened her yin and yang eyes, so she is quite uncomfortable, blinked twice, and then raised her eyes, and saw that as An Yi said, the whole city was shrouded in black fog, and the black fog on the periphery was quite thin, but the more she looked inside, the thicker it became, especially the black stone tower in the center that An Yi was referring to, and the fog on it was so thick that she couldn't even see the tower body clearly.

Suddenly, I saw that the thick fog was churning, forming an incomparably evil giant face, Xu Hui couldn't help but exclaim: "What is that!"
