The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1222
With Lin Tianci's current ability, any monsters that do not exceed level 50 are no match for him at all, at most, sometimes it will be difficult to be affected by the environment and compatibility.

Regardless of the size of the sandworm, this thing only has the advantage of surprise attack. Once the sand layer is exposed, it is tantamount to a live target. In terms of level, even level 30 is enough, plus the fear of cold damage, Lin Tianci worked together with the soldiers to solve the problem. A few sandworms are just a matter of minutes.

But no matter how strong manpower is, there is a limit. Lin Tianci is still unable to fight against nature. When faced with natural disasters, all he can do is lie down and wait for the natural disasters to run over.

Lin Tianci has seen sandstorms once before, when Cypru went to the ruins of Xiayan Island, but it was really just a sight. When the ruins are opened, the sandstorms will disappear, and this time it is a personal experience. experience.

Looking at it from a distance, the sandstorm is not the sand flying all over the sky as imagined, all you can see is a large thick dark cloud, they seem to be moving against the ground, more like some kind of huge beast is moving Run close to the ground.

Moreover, the speed of the sandstorm was very fast. When Lin Tianci dealt with the sandworms, the sandstorm seemed to be still in the sky, but after a while, the sandstorm hit his face directly at an incredible speed.

The light quickly dimmed, and it only took a few seconds to be pulled from day to night. The fierce and surging wind carried a lot of fine sand and slapped it on the face, drilled into the ears, and more likely to make you lose your eyes.

This is still just on the edge of the sandstorm, and the threat is not so great as to kill, but it is uncertain what will happen next.

After the sandworms were dealt with, Harcui ordered the soldiers to cover on the spot, and seized the time to connect the camels with ropes.

Then?

Then just lie down.

It must be too late to hide. At the speed of the sandstorm, unless Lin Tianci took out a bad shot and started with a catapult, he would be overtaken by the sandstorm even if he flew with Qingyun.

How could a person with two legs run at such a speed?
Visibility plummeted like an avalanche within seconds of the sandstorm, and now it is impossible to see anything more than two or three meters away. The wind and sand blown by the wind are enough to cover everything. It is also very dangerous to continue on the road with such low visibility.

Not to mention whether you will get lost because of this, in case someone gets lost in the sandstorm...

Then there is no need to look for it, the body can't be found.

So when they were covered by the sandstorm, everyone could only lie on their stomachs, leaning on the camel next to them, and wait for the sandstorm to run over their faces.

Lin Tianci was also helpless in this situation. He could only do the same as everyone else, took out a face towel and covered his face to prevent the sand from blowing into his eyes, grabbed the camel's saddle with one hand, and covered Petra with the other. Lie down on top of her.

The power of nature is irresistible. Even if Lin Tianci can influence or even control the weather, he is helpless in the face of such a large-scale sandstorm.

The strong wind blew in through the gaps in his clothes. After a while, Lin Tianci felt sand all over his body. Later, if he didn't pay attention, the face towel hanging on his face as a mask was also blown away. Lin Tianci could only hide in the Only in the cloak can you resist the invasion of wind and sand, and you must always pay attention to the height of the sand around you. If you have been an ostrich in this environment for a long time, you may be buried when the sandstorm dissipates.

Such a variety, the experience is definitely not comfortable.

But rather than being uncomfortable, everyone was more afraid of something else in the sandstorm.

In addition to sandworms who like to float to the ground under the cover of sandstorms to have fun, many monsters in the desert also have similar habits. They may fight monsters while avoiding sandstorms.

Even without the threat of monsters, the airflow in the sandstorm is extremely fast. Although the current wind speed is definitely not up to the level of blowing people away, there is no guarantee that there will be a tornado.

If they are really run over by the salon, most of these hundreds of people will have to receive boxed lunches to complete the scene.

And in this tense and fearful atmosphere, when even Lin Tianci was a little nervous, Petra was actually very calm and used a camouflage cloak as a tent to block the wind and sand, and continued to write and draw in the notepad without any tension. Painting, as if the sandstorm that blocks the sky is nothing but a breeze.

When I met Petra for the first time, I said that I have strong receptivity. This is really not bragging...

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

For Lin Tianci, this trip to the desert was definitely a cliché, the hot temperature, the glaring sunshine, the stench of camels under his buttocks, and the dry food that was hard for storage.

Everything made him hate it deeply. If it wasn't for this matter, it might have something to do with finding the hometown of the evil cultivator.

Not to mention, just as they were about to find a place, a sandstorm came to add to the fun...

When the manic wind finally dissipated, it was already the early morning of the next day. A group of hundreds of people and camels lay on the spot for nearly ten hours before finally getting through.

Now everyone can shake off five catties of sand from their bodies by shaking casually, and each of them looks like a newly unearthed terracotta warrior.

Aside from these discomforts, this sandstorm also brought direct losses to everyone. Four camels disappeared, along with their supplies.

The sandstorm came too fast. Some camels were not connected with ropes in time, or the locks were loose. In short, it was only found that there were fewer camels when counting afterwards.

I ordered people to search around, but there was no trace of the missing camel, so everyone was forced to accept that they were short of supplies.

Fortunately, there were no casualties, and no one was missing. Everyone acted quickly and experienced in responding to such natural disasters.

After all, except for Lin Tianci, who is here for the first time, everyone else has been to the desert several times, and it is not uncommon for them to be more ridiculous than this time.

Generally speaking, the mentality is still optimistic.

The good news is that the sandstorm has just passed, and the clear night sky is cloudless. Compared with the large number of lights in the city, the night sky is very clear in the desert.

Petra checked the same sky instrument and the starry sky again to see if the calculation was correct, and said that the position was 100% determined, as long as it took two or three days to go to the place to dig. If everything goes well, this trip There will definitely be something to gain.

The people who had been tortured by the wind and sand all day quickly set up their tents, had a good sleep, and set off again when the sun reappeared in the morning.

This time they may have changed their luck. In the next two days, everyone did not encounter monsters, let alone sandstorms. Occasionally, one or two tornadoes swept across the ground at the end of the field of vision, rolling up a lot of sand, but moving forward The direction does not overlap with them, luckily just passing by.

And on the second night of the journey again, everyone was lucky enough to run into a camel that was lost in the previous sandstorm, and its supplies were still there.

Although the supply of a camel is not too much, it gives some comfort to the people who have been tortured by the environment, and at least boosts their morale.

Then, just after the morning of the third day, after riding camels and eating hard dry food, they crossed two sand dunes in the direction pointed by Petra.

"That's right, the target location is not far ahead."

Holding the compass and Tongtian instrument, Petra said very firmly.

In the desert, it is very difficult to check the landmarks to confirm the location, because the shape and size of the sand dunes are constantly changing. Taking the sandstorm they encountered before, a sandstorm will make the surrounding The environment changed drastically.

So if you want to confirm the location, you must rely on the compass and astronomy, not the geographical environment.

Lin Tianci, who was almost sunburned on the camel's back, suddenly regained his spirits.

Finding the location of the monument left all that was left to do was excavation.

The sponsor of this archaeological activity, Ku Lanxue, is looking forward to how many valuable antiques Petra can bring back to her, while Lin Tianci is more concerned about whether there is any information related to Avis in the ruins, which is related to the millennium of the monks. The big plan must not be sloppy.

Lin Tianci couldn't wait as the line of snakes gradually climbed up the steep sand dunes, urging the camel under his buttocks to take two quick steps.

Behind the sand dunes, you can see an arc-shaped place similar to a basin. It should have been blown out after a sandstorm. The shape is closer to an ellipse, but the area is not small.

"The 'Quanwang Xing' marked in the ancient books is just below that."

Petra also followed Lin Tianci, put away the compass and Tong Tianyi, and then shouted to the back:
"West, it's up to your people to do it. The sand layer below is not that thin. We have to dig out something before the supplies run out."

Excluding the supplies needed for the return trip, they can only stay here for about ten days no matter how much they save. The consumption of water resources will also increase, and maybe even a week is considered a long time.

Therefore, it is not easy to do archaeology in the desert, and it is too uncomfortable that the supplies cannot be transported. The time they stay is very limited.

As the saying goes, the time is tight and the task is heavy, but West and his excavators are doing this, and it is just commonplace to meet the deadline:

"Don't worry, when have my brothers let you down?"

As he spoke, he turned his head to greet him and told the workers to get ready to work.

Harcui also stayed close to Petra, after all, Kuran Xue also knew how hated Petra was.

These three hundred soldiers can also work as coolies when necessary, and the manpower is still sufficient.

Let's not talk about these, since we have arrived at the place, it is a matter of throwing off our arms and digging.

But when everyone was about to ride a camel down the sand dune, Lin Tianci suddenly saw a figure also riding a camel appearing on the sand dune opposite the basin.

For a moment, Lin Tianci thought it was a mirage, after all, such things are not uncommon in the desert.

But soon, it found that more and more figures appeared, and they seemed to be dressed differently from them...
