Old Hu pretended not to know and asked:

"How far is this place?"

An Liman led Old Hu to climb the highest sand slope with difficulty. He stopped and looked into the distance. The scene in front of him made him overjoyed.

An Liman pointed to the distance and said calmly and firmly:

"Look, it's in that direction, the road I used to walk."

"See, keep going in this direction, pass the sand dune in front, there is a city ruins over there."

"There is a well there."

Hao Aiguo climbed up the sand slope and said breathlessly:

"Hey, why didn't you say it this morning?"

An Liman spread his hands and said to the people who climbed up the sand slope:

"I just remembered it when I saw the surroundings."

Shirley Yang looked at An Liman and asked:

"How far do we have to walk to get there?"

Li Daoxuan looked at the approximate distance. Generally speaking, the walking speed of camels is between 4-6 kilometers per hour, and 7-8 kilometers takes about 2 hours.

But if it is a terrain like the Black Desert, and everyone is riding camels, such as needing to climb mountains or cross complex terrain, then the time required may be longer.

It will probably take at least 4 hours.

Li Daoxuan coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and then said lightly:

"I looked at it, it's about 7 to 8 kilometers. If we move forward like this, we can get there before night."

Professor Chen was overjoyed when he heard the news, pursed his dry lips and said:

"Comrade Xiao Li, are you sure?"

Li Daoxuan nodded, and Professor Chen and others got an accurate answer, and they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and almost cried with joy.

Lao Hu stared at Anliman, and his eyes revealed a contemplative atmosphere.

Li Daoxuan had already told them that there was a well in the ruins ahead, but he couldn't just say it, otherwise how would he know, it would be difficult to explain, it would be better to let them find it themselves.

"Anliman, we can go over there and take a look, but there is an important question."

"Can we find water there?"

Anliman pondered for a moment and told everyone about his previous experience.

"That was many years ago. My brothers and I also encountered a black sandstorm and we were blown away."

"At that time, my camel and I walked in the desert for days. We were thirsty, hungry and tired."

"I thought it was over and dead, but just when I was in a trance, I suddenly saw a white camel."

"It was on the sand dune in front of me. It was really blessed by the gods and God appeared!"

"That white camel was much bigger than an ordinary camel, and it was white and glowing."

"I followed the magical white camel and walked, walked, walked, and I found water. I survived, I survived."

"Yes, it's this place."

After Anliman finished speaking, he pointed to the place where Li Daoxuan had just mentioned.

Hao Aiguo looked at An Liman who started praying again and said impatiently:

"What's the point of saying so much? The key is whether there is water now."

Professor Chen saw Hao Aiguo so excited and scolded him softly:

"Aiguo, be patient. Water resources are scarce now, and we can only hope for that well."

Old Hu nodded and said:

"Professor Chen is right. Whether there is water or not, we have to go there. There is hope if we go there."

"Since we can avoid this black sandstorm, it means that God is very kind to us."

"I believe we can find water."

Everyone rode their camels and headed towards the ancient Mo ruins.

After riding on the camel for a while, Lao Hu looked at the boundless sea of ​​sand in the desert and sighed:

"The desert is boundless. If it weren't for these long footprints, I wouldn't even feel that I was moving forward."

"I really admire those explorers who enter the desert alone, maybe only one person."

"Only by walking alone between heaven and earth can you experience more of the meaning of life."

After hearing Lao Hu's sigh, the fat man following Lao Hu immediately teased:

"Lao Hu, you, when did you learn all these tricks."

Li Daoxuan turned his head and gave Lao Hu a thumbs up, then coughed lightly, cleared his throat and said:

"Lao Hu, it's great! I'll say something too."

"The yellow sand is all over the sky, and I ride alone into the desert."

"The wind blows the flags thousands of miles away, and the sunset turns the sky and the earth into dusk."

"The lonely sand dunes are silent, watching the years for thousands of years."

"The stars dot the night sky, The wonders of the desert come into view. "

After hearing Li Daoxuan's poems, the people in the archaeological team looked at him with admiration.Li Daoxuan is a man of both civil and military talents, a gentleman without peer.

Lao Hu and Fatty grew up together with their bare bottoms, but they didn't expect that Li Daoxuan would secretly learn such a trick, and immediately gave Li Daoxuan a big thumbs up.

Shirley Yang stared at Li Daoxuan with a faint smile on her face. She realized that since joining the team, her feelings for the young man seemed to have changed unconsciously.

Yingzi stared at Li Daoxuan, with a hint of imperceptible happiness in her eyes. She felt more and more deeply that Li Daoxuan seemed to have countless secrets hidden in him, like an unfathomable ocean that people could never fully see through.

..............

After walking for 4 hours, everyone finally saw the ruins.

What came into view was a dilapidated scene, with broken walls, ruined city walls, and weathered stone pillars. These ruins were like sleeping beasts, scattered in every corner of the desert.

The city wall is tall and thick. You can imagine how it resisted the invasion of foreign enemies in the past.

In the center of the ruins, there is a dilapidated building with a doorway under it.

Everyone stopped their camels in front of the ruins.

Anliman looked at the dilapidated building and said with emotion:

"This is where I came back to life many years ago."

Anliman slowly got off the camel, took a blanket from his camel named Xiaohong, and spread it on the sand.

He knelt on the carpet, put his hands together, closed his eyes, and began to pray to the gods.

His voice was low and firm, and he prayed to the gods for water.

His prayers were full of awe and piety. He hoped that the gods could hear his voice and give him and his companions the water they needed to survive.

Li Daoxuan, Fatty, Lao Hu, and Yingzi smiled at each other and watched Anliman praying to the gods.

Li Daoxuan watched the archaeological team members walking over, supporting each other, and then said to the energetic Fatty:

"Fatty, go in and take a look, there is a rabbit in there."

"Deal with it quietly, and leave it for us to have a snack."

When the Fatty heard about the rabbit, he immediately became energetic and rushed into the ruins, as if the rabbit would run away in the next second.
