The wind and sand outside became more and more intense, and the stone slabs covering the holes were blown away by the sand several times.

In desperation, Chen Yulou had to use rivets to fix the stone slab on the hole, but yellow sand still poured in through the gap.

At night, the sound of camels came from outside, one after another, and Ye Bai was awakened immediately.

Chen Yulou on the side also hurriedly got up: "Is it a pack of wolves?"

Ye Bai frowned slightly: "It's not like that, there is no wolf's cry."

The wind and sand outside are still very strong, and they haven't stopped all night, and a small pile of sand has formed under the stone slab.

The camels haven't stopped barking yet, and they seem to be very impatient.

Everyone knows that camels are a means of transportation in the desert. If they are lost in a black storm, everyone will have to go back and come back again.

Chen Yulou said: "My third brother and I went out to take a look, you guys stay here."

"Okay."

Ye Bai and Chen Yulou were fully armed, covered their bodies tightly, and drilled holes.

It was extremely dark outside, and they could not see their fingers. Even though they were covered by masks, Ye and Bai could still feel the sand hitting their faces.

The howling wind roared in their ears, and every step they took was extremely difficult.

Ye Bai was afraid that Chen Yulou would get lost with him, so he quickly tied him up with a rope.

Turning on a strong flashlight, with the faint light, the two came to the camel group.

It’s just that there seems to be an uninvited guest among the twelve camels.

"What is that?"

Chen Yulou shouted that the visibility in the black wind and sand was too low, and he could only see a black shadow.

Ye Bai couldn't see clearly either. The two of them moved forward slowly, and the black shadow gradually revealed its true face.

It turns out this is a white camel.

Its body is white as snow, but its bones are rugged. It’s unknown how many days it has not eaten.

White camels huddled in the corner of the camel group, seeming to use their bodies to cover themselves from the wind and sand.

"Third brother, I have learned a lot. There are actually white camels in the desert, and they only have one hump." Chen Yulou said with some surprise.

In the past few days, the guides Karama and Ye Bai have told local legends.

White camels are rare in the desert and symbolize the good fortune sent by Hu Da.

When travelers lost in the desert are desperate, they are often rescued by white camels, who lead them to find water in the desert.

But the white camel in front of him was a little miserable, not like a messenger, and Ye Bai noticed that its forelimbs were still injured.

The white camel was startled by the flashlight in Ye Bai's hand, and staggered to its feet. Just as he was about to run away, Ye Bai stepped forward and held him down.

The white camel whined and grunted uneasily, but after realizing that Ye Bai had no ill intentions toward it, it quickly calmed down.

Ye Bai took out a blanket and covered it on the white camel's head to protect it from the wind and sand. He also took out some apples from the space and fed them to the white camel.

The apples are refreshing and sour. A white camel born in the desert has never tasted such delicious food. It rolls its tongue and makes juices splash everywhere.

After eating two pills, a pair of big yellow eyes stared at Ye Bai again.

Ye Bai sighed that this thing was quite spiritual, dropped four more, and then checked the wounds on the white camel's forelimbs.

The wound was not serious, the blood had solidified, and it was surrounded by sand, as if it had been torn apart by wolf claws.

There was no need to bandage such a small injury, so Ye Bai left the blanket behind and returned to the underground stone house with Chen Yulou.

"How?"

After the two came in, Jin Abacus asked the reason.

Chen Yulou described the situation and learned that it was a white camel that had mixed up with the camels, and everyone was relieved.

Only the young Karama spread out a blanket, knelt down and prayed outside, muttering something, and no one else interfered.

The black storm swept through the day and night. After the wind and sand passed, the sky was as clear as a blue mirror.

When Ye Bai and others came out of the stone house, they saw the white camel from last night guarding the entrance of the cave, with the blanket Ye Bai left under him.

The white camel came to Ye Bai, rubbed against him, and snorted twice.

Ye Bai touched it and helped clean the sand around its nostrils and mouth.

Wherever Ye Bai went, the white camel followed him, like a loyal little brother.

"It seems that this camel depends on you." Chen Yulou said with some envy.

Ye Bai smiled and fed the white camel some water and food.

The black wind and sand changed the landscape here, and the golden abacus partridge whistle reconfirmed the direction of travel. Then everyone packed up their luggage and set off on camels.

After walking for an hour, the white camel came to Ye Bai and barked, which seemed to have a special meaning, and then changed its direction with the camel.

Karama called out quickly, but the camel didn't listen to his command.

Ye Bai said: "Don't panic, follow us first and take a look!"

Chen Yulou held a telescope and saw that there seemed to be the remains of a city wall behind the mound in the distance.

So everyone speeded up.

After getting closer, everyone discovered that this was an oasis, located in the hinterland of the sand sea.

There are many houses built by humans near the oasis. From a distance, they look like emeralds decorated on a gold plate, with black city ruins standing among them.

"This should be the ancient city of Xiye!" Jin Abacus sighed.

Several people looked at Karama, but unfortunately Karama didn't know anything about it either. Among their family, only his grandfather had been here, and it had been thirty or forty years ago.

"It is undoubtedly the ancient city of Xiye. You can see that there are traces of broken murals on the wall." Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao observed the meeting in a corner of the city.

This West Night City was built relatively late, and was not destroyed by war until the end of the Tang Dynasty. It has been abandoned to this day, so the ruins are quite well preserved.

There are underground water veins flowing under the city all year round. In the hinterland of the desert, it has become an important supply point for desert travelers.

Going further is the real black desert, where yesterday's black storm originated and swept out.

Ye Bai thought for a while and realized that they were not short of supplies, but they might as well spend one night repairing here.

Moreover, the camels were frightened and were carrying a large amount of equipment and food, so they needed to strengthen their legs before they could set off again.

Qi Xiaohei and Hua Ling camped, and Chen Yulou seemed to have discovered something in the ruins, so he called Ye Bai over.

"Third brother, look, there should have been a pack of wolves living here last night."

Chen Yulou pointed to the footprints on the sand, which were shaped like plum blossoms.

Ye Bai nodded and dug out a pile of wolf dung in the sand with a dead branch.

"There are quite a few of them. The wolves in the desert are notoriously ferocious. We need to set up some traps before going to bed at night."

At this time, Jin Abacus and Zhang Jiuyi were shouting in another place.

"Come here quickly, there is something discovered here."

Everyone hurried over and saw the two people gathered in front of an ancient well.

A voice came from the system in Ye Bai's mind.

"The Tomb of Prince Gumo: It is located under the ancient well of the Xiye ruins in the hinterland of the desert. The place where it is buried is the place where earth dragon water vapor condenses."

"Danger level: low!"

"Contains a treasure chest: a bronze treasure chest!"
