Seeing the three people coming back from outside, Qi Dahai stepped forward and said, "Did the three guests come back after peeing?"

pee?

Who thinks of an excuse for riding a horse?

Chen Yulou smiled awkwardly: "Yes, we were ready to come back after peeing. It was a little dark, but we had to go around in a circle to find the way back."

Qi Dahai smiled: "It's best if you don't get lost. Why don't our guests come and dance with us? Today is a big day for our clan, and we don't usually have this opportunity."

Chen Yulou wanted to refuse, but Qi Dahai was too enthusiastic, and the three of them were eventually pulled into the dancing team.

However, Ye Bai discovered that there were only 157 people coming to the party, but 161 people were attending the sacrifice in the evening, which was four people missing.

Qi Xiaohei and the person who presided over the sacrifice were two of the four people, and neither of them appeared at the party.

It's a pity that Qi Dahai took them so seriously that Ye Bai didn't have the chance to find out where these four people had gone.

After the party, everyone returned to their yurts.

The three of them discussed what they had discovered tonight, and speculated that this tribe might simply worship the Dragon King of the Yellow River. The totem was the Dragon King of the Yellow River and had nothing to do with the Muchen Bead they were looking for.

When talking about the golden abacus again, Ye Bai told all the information he knew.

"Even if this person has a superb secret skill in dividing gold with abacus and fixing acupuncture points, I don't think I can go to the grave with him. This person is too philistine and prone to problems." Chen Yulou said.

Ye Bai and Partridge Whistle also agreed.

"I'm afraid this tribe has hidden a lot of secrets, but our trip is only for the Dragon Bone Book, so it's better not to cause any complications. We will set off for the ferry early tomorrow morning, and we can't waste any more time."

After discussing tomorrow's matters, the three of them wrapped themselves in blankets and slept.

There was no talking all night, and early the next morning, everyone ignored Qi Dahai's plea to stay and rushed to the ferry on the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

Returning to the place where the fish monster died, everyone found that the fish monster's body had long since disappeared, leaving only the stone carved by Chen Yulou standing there alone.

There were no traces of dragging or moving around, and the fish monster's bones seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

There was no time to find the reason, so they had to put aside their curiosity. After another day's journey, they finally arrived at the ferry the next day.

Although it is a ferry, it is only a simple house built with yellow mud bricks, and there are only a few sparse people inside.

There was a sign hanging at the door, which stated the shipping fee in Chinese and Mongolian, which was ten copper coins per person.

The price is not expensive, but the ferry runs once a day. Today's flight has already passed. If you want to get the ferry, you have to wait until tomorrow.

Helpless, everyone had to camp nearby and rest for another night.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, the people at the ferry woke everyone up and told them that the ship was about to leave.

Everyone was a little confused as to when the boat would not leave, but it would leave at this time.

After asking, I finally found out the reason. It turned out that shipwrecks often occur on both sides of the Yellow River. It is the safest time to sail in the early morning, and usually nothing happens.

Ye Bai and the others also thought of the snake shadows under the water of the Yellow River, knowing that there might be unimaginable monsters hidden under the unfathomable water of the Yellow River. I am afraid that no matter how stable the ship is, it will not be able to withstand the attacks of these monsters.

The three of them boarded the boat with more than a dozen brothers who were unloading the mountains, and with several nearby herdsmen, the boat was full.

The ship swayed toward the other shore.

There were no accidents along the way, and everyone got off the boat without any danger.

"I'm afraid there will be shadows if I cross the river by boat in the future." Chen Yulou couldn't help but said.

After everyone repaired it, Chen Yulou took out the map again, made some gestures and said: "The ruins of Blackwater City should be in this direction. It is estimated that there are still two or three days' journey."

It has been more than two months since the three of them set out from Hunan. They have not yet reached their destination. It will take a lot of time to go back after exploring the tomb.

Calculating this, if this trip goes well, it will take half a year.

Although the rewards are rich, tomb robbing is really hard work.

As everyone walked northwest, they could see quite fertile green grassland on the first day, but once they got deeper into the hinterland of Inner Mongolia, they could only see patches of yellow soil.

The surrounding area was completely devoid of life.

"I really don't know how this place gave birth to the ancient Xixia Kingdom."

"You don't know this. Hundreds of years ago, this place was a fertile land. It was only rumored that after Xixia was destroyed, this place was cursed, and it became like this."

Chen Yulou was upset when he heard this, and directly interrupted the conversation between the two brothers who were discharging the mountain: "What a curse, if you two are bored, go and catch some gerbils for everyone to eat, and don't disturb the morale of the army here."

The two of them shut up instantly.

Seeing that the weather was not good and it seemed like it was going to rain heavily, Chen Yulou arranged for everyone to camp on the spot and wait for the heavy rain to pass before leaving.

Ye Bai also walked around outside and saw that there was no response from the system. He guessed that they were still some distance away from Blackwater City.

However, everyone still underestimated the weather changes here.

The weather, which had some light just now, suddenly turned dark, with dark clouds, accompanied by thunder and lightning, strong winds, and flying sand and rocks wherever it went.

The sudden changes in the weather can make people frightened.

Only in this endless yellow land can you clearly feel your own insignificance.

Seeing that the tent they had just set up was crumbling under the strong wind, Chen Yulou quickly asked someone to take the tent away and cover it with the equipment they were carrying.

"Whoosh!"

Dense and huge raindrops poured down, and everyone had to gather together to keep warm and half-cover their bodies with tents to welcome the heavy rain.

The rain came and went quickly. After ten minutes, the clouds dispersed and half of the red sun was exposed.

It was just that the land was muddy and muddy, but it was no longer easy to travel on the road. Chen Yulou had to have people set up tents to keep warm and rest. If the cold was not driven away in time, the heavy rain would probably cause half of the people to collapse.

In the distance, a fat man was hanging behind everyone. He was soaked to the skin and his face was pale. He must have been ravaged by the heavy rain just now.

"Fuck, we've lost a lot this time."

...

After everyone rested for the night, they set out again.

Along the way, we discovered broken earth walls of various sizes, which seemed to be relics of ancient Xixia.

Obviously, they are getting closer to Blackwater City.

When Ye Bai walked to a high slope and looked at a mountain range in the distance, a prompt finally popped up in the system.

"The Great Sleeping Buddha Temple: It is located under the Heishui City of ancient Western Xia. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, it contains treasures that are as rich as any country. However, the geomantic omen here has become extremely dangerous due to the diversion of the Heishui River, and there are countless poisonous insect traps."

"Danger level: medium!"
