Sand Sea Devil's Nest 16

I knew that the venomous snake was ready to attack, and then the snake's head bounced forward and bit the prey with its poisonous fangs. My neck and face were exposed within its attack range, and it was impossible to avoid it, and it was too late to stop it.

Just as I was about to close my eyes and wait for death, a white light suddenly appeared, and the dark valley was shining sharply. The strange snake had already pounced on my neck. Halfway through, he was shocked by the dazzling white light, and it actually slid off my shoulders.

All this happened within a second. Before the snake could land, I waved the engineer in my hand to shovel and smashed it, and slapped the snake's head flat. A lot of ink-colored black juice flowed out of the broken snake's head. I quickly took a few steps back and secretly shouted luck. The snake's venom was very toxic. If it was bitten by it, the snake's venom would spread throughout the blood in an instant, and it would be dead or alive.

When I looked up, I found that the life-saving white light came from the flash of Shirley Yang's camera. She had always been inseparable from the camera and took photos as she walked. I didn't expect that my life was saved by the flash of the camera in her hand. Thanks to her quick reaction, otherwise I, Lao Hu, would have gone to see Hu Da now.

But now is not the time to thank you. Who knows if there are any other two strange snakes in the valley? If there is anything, I will leave Yamaguchi before I talk about it. So I waved my hand and asked everyone to move forward quickly.

At this time, the camels might have felt that there were no poisonous snakes in front of them, and they all calmed down from their uneasy moods. Chu Jiansat Dipeng and others brought the bodies of Ye Yixin, Professor Chen, and Hao Aiguo to their hunchbacks.

An Liman whistled and guided the camel caravan forward. The group hurried out of the dark valley of Zagrama with the light of cold fireworks and flashlights.

He walked to the open space outside the mountain pass and stopped and put Hao Aiguo's body on the ground. Before dawn, the stars and moon were gone. It was so dark before dawn. Hao Aiguo still maintained a terrified expression when he died. The unsightly eyes behind the glasses had not been closed, and his whole body was blue. Under the light of the flashlight, it added a bit of misery and weirdness.

Professor Chen was so excited by the cold wind blowing from the mountain pass that he woke up, and struggled to pounce on Hao Aiguo's body and cried in a daze. I helped the professor up. He could not be resurrected by death. I wanted to persuade him to mourn, but he couldn't say it when he was at his mouth.

Hao Aiguo and I have been together for almost a month. We usually like to joke about him as "old antique". We like his straightforward and quick-talking personality, but today... I can't help feeling sad when I think of this, so I can't help but persuade others.

The rest of the people also burst into tears. At this time, a dark red gap was cracked in the distant horizon. The sun was finally coming out, and we couldn't help but look to the east.

The light slowly turned into rose color, blood red, and finally turned into thousands of golden lights. The arc of the sun was revealed. At this moment, the boundless sand walrus turned into gold melted in God's furnace.

In this desert like golden slurry, a huge city was presented to everyone, with countless broken walls, bricks, woods, earth and stones, and countless towers in the city. The most prominent one is a black stone tower that has already tilted, standing quietly in the city.

It is exactly the same as the scene of the black and white photo in Shirley Yang's hand. After two thousand years, the remains of Jingjue Ancient City really exist in the deepest part of the desert.

The size of this Jingjue City is enough to live in 50,000 or 60,000 people. At that time, famous cities such as Loulan were only 10,000 or 20,000 residents and more than 3,000 troops.

The city has been generally destroyed and buried in the desert for less than a thousand years. It is difficult to tell whether it is a dune or a fortress. Most towers have collapsed and weathered. Even so, you can imagine the magnificence and majesty of that year.

There is a huge magnetic field here, and it is difficult for aircraft and other tools to fly over the sky. It is also located in the heart of the desert. It is estimated that few people can find it. I wonder how many explorers and lost people had come to this legendary ancient city before us. The only thing that can be confirmed is that 99% of them will never be able to return to their hometown.

Professor Chen helped Hao Aiguo's body lying on the ground up, pointed at Jingjue Ancient City tremblingly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Look... Haven't you always wanted to see this mysterious ancient city... Open your eyes and take a look, we finally found it."

I thought to myself that the old man was too sad. Is he unconscious? He hurriedly went over and pulled Professor Chen away from Hao Aiguo: "Professor, Teacher Hao has left, let him rest in peace. Unfortunately, he didn't see this miraculously preserved ancient city in the end. His wishes have to be fulfilled by you. You must cheer up."

Shirley and Yang and a few students also came to comfort me, so I handed over the professor to them. I felt sorry for Hao Aiguo's death, and was grateful to Shirley Yang, so I said to Shirley Yang: "I won't thank you for saving my life just now. I owe you a life... But one code is one code, we have reached Jingjue. According to the previous contract, 20,000 Miko."

When the fat man heard about the money, he hurried over and added: "One person has 20,000 yuan, a total of 40,000 yuan, and cash settlement."

Shirley Yang gave us a blank look, bit our lip and said, "Don't worry, you can't afford a penny of money, I'll give it to you immediately after you go back."

I thought it was indeed not appropriate to ask for money just now. At that time, I felt like I had knocked over Wuwei Bottle and said the wrong words without choosing. I would just distort the words quickly, but I didn't know what to say. I said stutteringly, "That... the city... is quite large..."

Shirley Yang stared at my face and said, "After these days of contact, I see that you both have extraordinary skills and extraordinary experiences. I didn't expect you to know money. It seems that my first impression of you is not wrong. I would like to advise you that there are many precious things in life besides money."

I had nothing to say, and the fat man said, "Miss Yang, you are under the Stars and Stripes that live in the United States of America. Your father is a giant on Wall Street. I think you have never used food coupons for dinner. When I was a child, you must have never experienced food saving and shortage. So you don't understand the environment we live in and are not qualified to comment on our values. Also, don't educate us all by living alone. The poor have no life, and the poor just live. Anyway, you can't understand these principles if you have rich people. Today I really can't help it. If you don't like to listen, even if I don't say it, we have found Jingjue City now. What should I do next? Just give me instructions."

The fat man was justified at first, but when he said that he remembered that Shirley Yang was the shopkeeper's work, and was worried that he would not pay if he was anxious. After a change of subject, he turned into a coolie's work.

I said to her: "Mr. Hao's business... I have tried my best, I'm sorry."

Shirley Yang nodded at me, ignored the fat man, took out a kettle to feed Professor Chen and Ye Yixin water. Professor Chen was so excited by Hao Aiguo's death that he drank some clear water before he gradually improved. Everyone discussed a few words and decided to bury Hao Aiguo in the desert at the mountain pass. His lifelong pursuit was to study Western Region culture, buried here, and always accompany this mysterious ancient city. I believe he would definitely hope that we would do this.

We dug a hole deep in the yellow sand, rolled up his body with a blanket, and buried it on the spot. Finally, I shoveled a piece of engineer and inserted it in front of his grave, which was to leave a tombstone for Hao Aiguo.

The remaining eight people stood in front of Hao Aiguo's grave and observed a long time of silence before leaving.

The deceased has passed away, and we still have to save the living. We must go to the city to find water immediately. Otherwise, the second person buried in the desert will be Ye Yixin, who suffers from severe dehydration.

Everyone packed up their equipment and prepared to set out into the city. They finally arrived at their destination. They hoped that there would be no more trouble. If someone had any more accidents, even if I earned the money, how could I spend it?

Seeing that everyone was almost ready, I asked Shirley Yang if he could leave?

As she set out, Shirley Yang was a little excited and her body trembled slightly, but she couldn't tell whether she was afraid, nervous or excited. She took out a cross and whispered:

The LORD is my shepherd, and I will not be lacking. He let me lie on the green grass and lead me on the quiet river, and he awakens my soul. He guides my righteous path in his name, and I will not fear any devil, for you are with me, and your rod, and your rod, comfort me, and before my enemies, you set a feast for me, and you anointed my head with oil, and make me blessed with me, and you will follow me in the whole life, and I will live in the temple of the LORD forever, Amen.
