Zong Tomb: Starting from Huangpizi Tomb

Chapter 164 Quicksand
  However, An Liman's words will not stop everyone's determination.

Early the next morning, everyone had packed their things and loaded them on the camels. Everyone had already mounted their camels, preparing for the final sprint towards the Zagrama Mountains.

Before An Liman left the ruins, he knelt in front of the well house and prayed to the ancient well. Hu Bayi wanted to urge him, but was stopped by Professor Chen.

Professor Chen looked at An Liman who was praying, shook his head and said, "Don't bother him, just let him pray quietly. This well is indeed a well-deserved holy well.

Thousands of years ago, it raised Gumo Country, and later saved Anliman, and now, it saves us when we are in trouble.

Speaking of which, we should actually pray, pray that this ancient well will never dry up, pray that it can protect this land, and pray that it can help more travelers in trouble in the future. "

After hearing Professor Chen's words, Bai Jing was silent for a moment.

Yes, there is probably no problem in saying that this ancient well is a holy well.

In the past hundreds of years, how many travelers like Bai Jing and others have been saved by it?
  Everyone stopped urging An Liman and quietly waited for An Liman's prayer to end.

Finally, this prayer lasted for about ten minutes, and An Liman also finished his prayer.

The team finally embarked on the journey again.

Perhaps because of the location of the ancient well, Bai Jing and the others could see that there was still a lot of grass in the desert as they moved forward.

But as they moved forward, the grass moved further and further away, and eventually disappeared.

Fortunately, because of the previous experience of water shortage, everyone still cherishes water resources now. Even if the water source is relatively abundant now, they try to avoid wasting it.

About three days after they left Gumo King City, they suddenly encountered a sandstorm. There was no barrier or protection here. They had no choice but to build bunkers on the spot to keep everyone in the bunkers.

After a while, Ye Yixin wanted to go to the toilet, so she asked Shirley Yang to come with her.

In order to prevent accidents, Hu Bayi gave Shirley Yang a whistle to blow if there was danger.

As the world's largest mobile desert, the Taklimakan Desert is dangerous not only from sandstorms or desert army ants, but also from quicksand and mirages.

Especially in quicksand, if there is no one around or the people around do not know how to rescue, then the person trapped in quicksand will have no choice but to wait for death.

However, although Bai Jing and others knew this, they were not too worried. First of all, the speed of quicksand was not swallowed up so fast. Secondly, many people present had experience of desert life and knew how to save themselves when encountering quicksand.

The most important thing is that Ye Yixin and the others can't go too far to go to the toilet.

But something unexpected happened, and while others were still building sand-proof bunkers, Ye Yixin's cry for help suddenly came.

When everyone heard the sound, they didn't dare to delay and ran to save people.

When everyone rushed to the scene of the incident, they found that Ye Yixin had fallen into the quicksand.

Everyone did not dare to delay and hurried forward to rescue Ye Yixin.

Bai Jing looked at this scene and felt that something was wrong. The power of quicksand was very great. He just saw that Ye Yixin was buried up to half of his body. In this case, if you want to force Xiaoye out, you will need at least several tons of strength. But obviously, Bai Jing didn't take action, how could they have tons of strength.

Bai Jing immediately said: "Wait a minute, this is not quicksand!"

With that said, Bai Jing walked to the place where Ye Yixin had sunk before, and found a scattered stone from the side. He picked it up and smelled it. Then he discovered that there was a special smell on the stone.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Jing handed it to Hu Bayi. Hu Bayi also sniffed it suspiciously, and then his face changed and he said: "This stone was blown up by explosives, and it is definitely not an ordinary explosive."

As he spoke, Hu Bayi recalled it again, and then said with certainty: "It's military TNT!"

Immediately, Hu Bayi looked at the sand pit. After careful observation, he confirmed: "The most important thing is that the person who blasted it is definitely not simple. This person is proficient in directional blasting. All these stones collapsed outward."

As he spoke, Hu Bayi finally said with certainty as he started to pull himself up to the ground: "If I guessed correctly, there should be an ancient tomb here."

Bai Jing thought for a moment, looked at Ye Yixin and asked: "The real quicksand can swallow people very quickly. Ordinarily, even if there were so many of us, we couldn't hold Xiaoye back just now, and there was no way anyone could stand around the quicksand." of."

Hearing Bai Jing's words, An Liman, who had been silent next to him, suddenly said: "Hey, Comrade Bai is right. If it really is quicksand, you guys will never be able to stay around."

Shirley Yang also remembered something at this moment and said: "Yes, what you said makes sense, and Xiaoye stopped when it sank halfway."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Ye Yixin in confusion.

Then Ye Yixin said: "Yes, I seemed to have stepped on a stone just now, and then it collapsed, and then I kept sinking, and kept sinking."

Hu Bayi seemed to have thought of something when he heard this, but he still looked at Ye Yixin and asked again: "Are you sure it's a stone?"

Ye Yixin nodded in confirmation.

Hearing this, Shirley Yang suddenly wondered why there were stones in the desert.

As we all know, sand is actually the product of broken stone.

The formation of the desert is actually the erosion of countless stones by wind and sand. After countless years of evolution, the stones slowly turned into sand, and finally the desert was formed. It is said that it is impossible to have complete stones.

Seeing this, Bai Jing nodded and already had an idea in his mind. Then he looked at Shirley Yang and said, "Ms. Yang, take out your notebook. Take a look. Does it say on the notebook that Mr. Walter is here?" I encountered a lot of stone tombs along the way!”

Without taking it out, Shirley Yang said clearly: "Yes, that's what the notebook says."

Bai Jing nodded and said, "That's right. Combined with the traces of the explosive explosion we just found, it's not difficult to figure out that this should be a stone tomb that was blown up with explosives.

And judging from the smell left on the stone, this group of people should not be that far away from us, at most they are only a day or two ahead of us. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately became vigilant.
