Holy Bone

Chapter 467 The Undead Kingdom in the Mirage
After dawn, the coldness of the desert recedes, and it becomes hot and scorching again.

After the team fed the camel team, they continued to go deep into the desert basin along the ancient river.

Today's team is a little less lifeless and a little more energetic. Those who have been hungry for a few days are all miraculously restored today, and they are full of energy and riding camels on the road.

But there is still a fundamental difference in this spirit.

Ai Yimaimati's eyes are clear and clear, and his complexion is ruddy.

But among Yan Kuan and others, there is a lot of femininity.

Both Yan Kuan and the mountain guard also noticed the difference in the spirits of the two parties, and they subconsciously looked at Jin An and Mr. Yiyun.

The two went to Ai Maimaiti more than once to test their words, but they kept their mouths shut and didn't ask anything.

During the break, Jin An saw the process of bibimbap with tribute from the mountain guard. He was slightly surprised, but not too surprised.

In this way, the camel team walked in the desert for another two days without seeing a single building site. However, according to some descriptions of Centipedes in the historical records, everyone felt that they should have left the territory of Centipedes.

As we walked out of the centipede, the sun above our heads became even more scorching hot, and people riding on camels were crumbling under the sun.

The number of people and camels looking for shade to rest has also become more frequent.

The camel team stopped again for half an hour, and then continued on the road, but they were stopped by a corpse not long after they set off this time.

This was the corpse of a man who had just died. The body was not dehydrated after being exposed to the sun, and the floating sand on the thick windbreaker that wrapped his body was not thick. All the signs indicated that the time of death of this man was very close.

Jin An didn't shy away from the dead at all. He carefully examined the identity of the corpse: "Look at his thick bones, big cheeks and high cheekbones, and the coiled intestine pattern on his boots. This man is from the northern grasslands."

"The desert is getting hotter and hotter. Not only are we not feeling well, but those northern prairie people are also not feeling well. Casualties are gradually appearing in their ranks."

"This corpse has just died, which means that we are traveling faster than those people, and we should not be too far away from those people."

After Jin An finished speaking, he clapped his hands and stood up.

After Yan Kuan and the mountain guard checked the corpse, they also agreed with Jin An's statement.

This news boosted the morale of the team a lot. Everyone continued to drive on camels, and along the way they kept seeing corpses. When the fourth corpse was found, some of Yan Kuan’s team finally couldn’t carry it. The camel fell off its back and fell headlong into the desert. It broke its neck on the spot and died.

In fact, at this stage, it goes without saying that everyone knows that the weather here is extremely abnormal.

It was still winter in the desert where the temperature was not high, and several people had already died of heat one after another. If it was normal, they would have been roasted long ago, and they would not be able to walk here.

The camel team continued to move forward in the vast sandy sea. The desert was so big that a camel team fell into it, which was as small as a drop in the ocean.

Except for the long string of hoof prints left behind, which can occasionally prove that the team is moving forward normally, this unchanging and boring sand sea has no concept of direction at all.

The unchanging desert.

And why isn't it slowly wearing down people's will.

When the team turned around a sand dune, suddenly, someone pointed in front of them with an excited expression: "Look, what is that? Gold is everywhere, then, it must be the kingdom of the undead!"

"We have found the kingdom of the undead! We have finally found the legendary kingdom of the undead!"

Impressively.

At the end of the desert, there are ancient relics like golden buildings, which are so dazzling and dazzling, like the second sun rising in the desert, blooming with a rotten light like the sun, full of golden light.

This scene is so shocking, people's scalps are so excited that electric currents jump up, their eyes are crazy and frenzied.

In the Buddhist scriptures, it is said that there is a Buddha land in the world.

That Buddha Land is also called the Pure Land.

It is the other shore after the Buddha saves all living beings from the sea of ​​suffering, and in the pure land, "eliminates all diseases of all beings, and makes the body and mind happy".

And this pure land, there is a saying, is the most pure and flawless gold.

Even Jin An was stunned at this moment.

Because of the scene in front of him, he felt a sense of deja vu, yes, it was the No. 11 prophecy mural in the tomb of the dojo.

Jin'an looked at the golden light and thousands of monuments at the end of the world with complicated eyes.

It's just that, no matter how hard the team pursued, they never got closer to the Kingdom of the Undead God.

On the contrary, because they were in a hurry, the few clear water in the team were being consumed rapidly.

Everyone chased them until the evening, and as the Golden Kingdom was completely out of sight, at this moment, Jin An and Lord Yan Kuan called to stop the team at the same time.

Yan Kuan looked at Jin An who shouted to stop at the same time with no joy or anger on his face: "Daoist Jin'an, have you noticed the problem?"

Jin'an: "We should have encountered a mirage in the desert. It seems close, but it is far away. If we keep chasing like this, we will be exhausted in the desert sooner or later."

When it came to this, Jin An frowned and looked at the starry sky at night: "But it's still a small problem. Fortunately, we found it in time. The biggest problem now is that we chased mirages during the day and caused a big deviation in direction. If we want to go back to the original route If it takes an extra day, it’s tantamount to wasting two days of time and water.”

Water is precious in the desert.

Getting lost in the desert is a very deadly danger.

The conversation between Jin An and Yan Kuan brought the morale of the team to the bottom. After chasing them in the desert for a day, they told them that everything was fake. The huge psychological gap was enough to destroy their tension after entering the desert. nerve.

When Jin'an and Mr. Yiyun were going to feed the camels and set up camp on the spot, the people from Ai Yimaimati came over to help unload the supplies and feed the camels and sheep. Jin'an and Mr. Yiyun were happy and relaxed. No rejection.

After all the busy work was done, everyone had time to sit around the fire and grill dried meat and naan. Jin'an Duo prepared a portion for those people in Ai Yimaimati, and everyone gathered around to eat.

Mr. Yiyun tore the naan with his hands, chewed it slowly and ate it, and said: "Actually, there is no need to be too depressed about today's matter. Although the kingdom of the immortal gods we saw during the day is not real, it also proves from another aspect The kingdom of the undead is real."

"Since seeing the mirage Kingdom of Undead Gods, I have become more interested in the real Kingdom of Undead Gods."

Silent all night.

the next day.

The team continued on the road after returning to the original road.

Ai Maimaiti, who was riding a desert camel in the scorching sun above his head, suddenly pointed to the front, and asked the people around him suspiciously and uncertainly: "Aheqi, Benny, this time it is still a mirage, right? Do you have any ideas?" See a group of camels sitting in a circle under the shadow of the foot of the mountain ahead, is there someone feeding water to those camels?"

Jin An heard Ai Mamat's words and looked up in the direction of his finger.

Just when Ai Maimati pointed at the opposite side, the person who was feeding the camels on the opposite side also happened to find the camel team that Jin An was in. The person turned around in fright and disappeared.

This caught Ai Maimati in a daze: "So it's really another mirage."

Jin An immediately listened to the music.

"He ran away as soon as he saw us coming, he was clearly a living person, not an illusion!" Jin An urged Sha Yang to catch up as he spoke.

The others also urged the camels to follow closely.
