Tomb Raiders View Shan Taibao

Chapter 26
When Feng Sijiu left the guest house in Gutian County, he borrowed a sum of money from Feng Xuewu. Although it was not a lot, it was more than enough to buy two camels.

So under the introduction of the locals, Feng Sijiu bought two male camels, plus a large bag of salt and bean cakes from an old man's house.

When Hu Bayi and the others saw Feng Sijiu again, they saw him leading two tall camels with a lot of supplies on their backs.

"Xiao Feng, where did your camel come from?"

Professor Chen looked at the two camels behind Feng Sijiu, and felt that Lao Sun's disciple was so annoying.

"Professor, An Liman didn't want to bring more camels, so I bought two with my own money."

Feng Sijiu said with a smile, as if he didn't realize his prodigal behavior.

The professor didn't say anything, but An Liman looked at the two camels behind Feng Sijiu and said in a low voice:
"Well, my camel doesn't like being with other camels. It will run around in the desert like this. Your camel can't be taken care of when it enters the desert."

Feng Sijiu took the rein, cast a glance at the old man, and then said unconvinced:

"My camels are naturally my care."

Feng Sijiu himself was born in the countryside since he was a child, not to mention riding a horse, when riding a cow and herding cattle, there are always three, four or five of them together. Although the camels are different, it is not difficult to imagine.

Ye Yixin next to her didn't feel anything, but her eyes were shining when she looked at the two camels. After all, she had never been in the desert before, and she was young and young, so she was full of enthusiasm at this moment.

"Brother Feng, can you give me the camel?"

"No problem, but you have to stay away. I heard that camels can bite people."

Ye Yixin, who was originally in high spirits, didn't dare to stretch out her hand again after hearing this.

After everything was ready, An Liman led the leading camel and walked ahead. Following his shout, the expedition team consisting of ten people and 22 camels began to step into the vast yellow sand.

On the yellow sand, the team stretched into a long dragon, just like the caravans that walked in the desert in ancient times.

An Liman and Hu Bayi walked at the front of the team, while Feng Sijiu followed behind with two camels that belonged to him alone.

Looking at the tasks on the virtual panel, Feng Sijiu felt dizzy, should he suggest that Professor Chen and others should not go.

[Main task: Go to Mount Zagrama, the underground bottomless ghost cave. ]
[Special task: Bring back all members of the archaeological team without death. ]
Reward: a space ring.

In the first two days after entering the desert, Chu Jian, Sa Dipeng and Ye Yixin were all in high spirits. After all, like Feng Sijiu, they entered the desert for the first time in their lives, and this vast sand sea had a different meaning.

The three of them thought it was both fresh and fun. For a while, they imitated the whistle of the old man An Liman directing the camels, and for a while they chased each other in the team.

Feng Sijiu politely declined the warm invitation of the three, and only heard the three singing red songs loudly in front of them. It seemed that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they couldn't stop everyone from looking for the ancient city of Jingjue.

Of course, the reason for the three people's excitement was not only their high energy, but also because they said they had entered the desert. In fact, according to the old man An Liman's words, this part of the journey was not considered a desert at all.

Because this section of the ancient channel of the Kongque River existed before the river changed its course, the riverbed in some areas was not completely dry, the surrounding sand was also very shallow, and there were scattered small lakes and lakes everywhere.

There are even small flocks of red-billed gulls and pochards swimming occasionally on the water surface. Along the bend of the Kongque River, there are small patches of oases with sandy dates, Populus euphratica and some shrubs.

In later generations, with this environment, it can also be developed into an oasis tourist attraction. The team walked on this road for more than two days, until they walked out of this river bend before they really entered the desert.

In order to avoid the scorching sun at noon, everyone was driving almost overnight. At this time, they entered the desert, and the morning of the third day was just as dawn broke.

The desert looks very beautiful under the rising sun, like a golden dragon.

When everyone was still immersed in the beautiful picture scroll, An Liman was full of anxiety, saying that there might be a black sandstorm tonight, so he decided not to rest during the day today, and had to catch up before the black sandstorm came Arrive at the ruins of Night West.

Otherwise, everyone will be buried under this yellow sand.

After An Liman finished speaking, he held the blanket and prayed to his Hu Da as usual.

At this moment, everyone was at least half a day's journey away from the West Night City ruins, because everyone walked for another night last night.

Professor Chen and these frail intellectuals have already reached the point of exhaustion. Now that they heard what An Liman said, they had no choice but to ride the camel first.

But who would have thought that after An Liman finished praying, he seemed to be a different person, his body was twisted like clockwork, he rolled up the blanket three times, and jumped onto the camel like a spring.

Make a long whistle: "Oh yo yo yo... run quickly, if you run late, you will be buried in the purgatory of black sand."

Then he urged the big camel under his crotch, and ran up by himself without caring about other people.

Hu Bayi, who just got on the camel and was in front, couldn't help yelling at him, and everyone hurriedly got on the camel and rushed forward.

In just five or six minutes, the originally peaceful desert changed. The running caravan just sprinted in the desert, and the yellow sand raised a giant yellow dragon.

Everyone wore goggles over their eyes, and covered their noses and mouths with turbans. Facing the fear of nature, the camels had lost control, staring and panting, and only knew to follow An Liman's big camel. .

Feng Sijiu fell behind the team. He was riding a camel, and he was holding the rein of another camel tightly in his hand. Several times he could feel the pull of the camel on the other end of the rein in his hand, as if it was about to retreat. team trends.

Fortunately, his body has undergone two evolutions. Although he hasn't reached the ceiling of human beings, a camel still won't be able to pull him down.

Staring at the camel team in front of him all the way, Feng Sijiu didn't dare to relax, suddenly he only saw one person fell off the camel's back and rolled down the sand dune.

Feng Sijiu could tell it was Professor Chen at a glance, and hurriedly shouted to Hu Bayi and the others in front to stop, but no one could hear what was being said at this distance, and all he could hear was whistling The sound of the wind.

Seeing that the team didn't stop, Feng Sijiu turned over and hunched down, dragged two camels, and walked down the hill facing the sky full of yellow sand. With his current strength, the two camels couldn't stand it at all.

When he got to the side of Professor Chen who had been half buried by the yellow sand, Feng Sijiu lifted Professor Chen up like a chicken with one hand, and then threw him on the hunchback, protecting the unconscious Professor Chen on his chest, and rode on The camel ran forward again.

Although the weight of one more person was added, the camel under the crotch did not change in any way, maybe it was for survival.

Continuing to rush forward in a frenzy, Feng Sijiu squinted his eyes and carefully looked ahead through the goggles, only to see that the sky was full of sand ahead, and there was no sign of the camel team.

Originally, there were still a few camel buttocks in front of the caravan, but now they have disappeared without a trace.

Feng Sijiu couldn't help but thumped in his heart, he was in big trouble, he seemed to have fallen behind, and ran forward for a while based on camel instinct.

Seeing that there was still no one in front of him, Feng Sijiu had no choice but to hold the camel's rein, and he couldn't run anymore. Now that he has no direction, running around like this will only lead to a dead end.

So they turned over and got off their hunchbacks. The two camels were already extremely frightened at this moment. After being stopped by Feng Sijiu's pull rope, they neighed loudly as if they felt the imminent death.
