Chapter 352 Mirage

After leaving the tomb, everyone rested in Xiye Ancient City for two days, then set out south and entered the sand sea that was said to be the black desert. There are no more bark leaves in the desert here, nor are there any high and low sand mountains. The sand dunes around are almost the same, like flat steamed buns, boundless, looking at any angle, the same scenery, without any sign of life

During these two days, Ye Tianchen and Princess Tracy conducted detailed analysis of the previous entry into the secret room from the tomb room, but could not find a reason that science could explain. Finally, the two summarized that they accidentally entered two secret rooms in the tomb room. Perhaps it was an accidental incident that transcended time and space in the characteristic environment. After the two of them had a blind date in the secret room, Princess Tracy's heart was completely on Ye Tianchen. Although it was not obvious in the past two days, the eyes of Ye Tianchen occasionally looked full of affection. Ye Tianchen was of course happy to be satisfied with this result. Now he began to continue on the road. Everyone has made enough preparations for the possible dangers in front of him.

If there wasn't a map on the Royal Cowhide Book, everyone would have been lost by rashly entering this taboo black desert. With the map, it would be much more convenient. Everyone followed the instructions on the map and continued moving forward.

There is China's largest inland water system in the desert, but many of the water systems such as the Tarim River have penetrated into the sand. The desert is full of grass on the surface. In the deep underground, it may be a surging river. Some plants that grow specifically in the desert survive tenaciously by relying on the water vapor that rises to the surface of the desert little by little. In fact, in addition to a small number of plants, there are also many animals here, but most of them come out to feed on the cold night.

In the Han Dynasty and even earlier, Takramakan was known as the ancient homelandAt that time, the degree of desertification in this area was not serious, and the rivers had not yet penetrated into the ground. There were oasis towns everywhere, including Xubao, Buddhist temples, and post stations. Countless caravans carried silk, spices, and tea. Until the Yuan Dynasty, the famous Italian Marco Polo also followed the caravan to the Central Plains. In the Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire spanned Europe and Asia rose, and the war blocked the commercial trade between Europe and the Asian continent. That era belonged to the ocean.Navigators opened up new routes, and the main routes of trade were turned from land to sea. This great era is also known as the era of great geographical discovery. In addition, desert erosion is becoming increasingly serious and the living environment is harsh, countries of all sizes in the desert have completely declined, and the prosperity and glory of the past have been taken away by the gods. The Black Desert was the earliest place abandoned by the gods. The civilization here has stopped in modern times. Until today, the Black Desert is still dead

On the first day of departure, everyone encountered a slight wind and sand. The sky was slightly yellow, but the wind and sand were not strong, and it just covered the sun. You can rush to the road during the day.

The Queen Tracy took the old diary full of English left to her by her grandfather, and discussed the route with Ye Tianchenman while walking. This note should be the royal king. Later, the Queen Tracy's grandfather gave it to her when she visited her. It records that after leaving Xiye Ancient City, they found a place nearby with a large number of stone tombs. They were about to dig again when they came back, so they drew a detailed route in the notes, including notebooks and scientific instruments, which of course can be precisely positioned, which is of great help to everyone.

When camping at night, everyone found a bulge. Everyone built a sandproof wall on the dune to settle the camels. Then, on the leeward side of the dune, they lit a fire to keep warm. It was not hard to walk on this day, after all, the wind was not strong.

However, the terrible part of the Black Desert is not the quicksand that traps people, the gold-eating ants that can chew cars all over, nor the black storm. It is said that there is a dreamy place deep in the depths. After people enter, they will see lakes, rivers, beauties, divine beasts, snow mountains, oasis. Those thirsty and tired people naturally walk desperately for those beautiful scenery, but they can't walk until they are thirsty and exhausted. This legend has been circulating in the surrounding areas. Ye Tianchen had already made an analysis before coming. It is estimated that this is a mirage in the desert, so when he set off, Ye Tianchen greeted everyone.

After finishing the tent, Princess Mary pulled Princess Tracy and whispered a few words. Princess Tracy turned her head and said to Ye Tianchen: We have something to do behind that dune.

Ye Tianchen knew that it might be the convenience of Princess Mary. She was timid and didn't dare to go by herself. She wanted to pull Princess Tracy to accompany her, so she nodded to them and instructed: Bring a flashlight and a whistle, blow the whistle hard if you have any questions, go and go back quickly.

The two women clicked and walked hand in hand to behind a sand dune not far away. After walking for a day, the mother Xie Ning'er and Queen Anna were already very tired. They were resting in the tent. Ye Tianchen found Jin Xiong and took two bottles of white wine under Jin Xiong's men, intending to warm up their bodies at night. After all, the temperature difference between the desert during the day and night is too large. Ye Tianchen sleeps alone in the tent. No matter how good his body is, he needs to maintain it.

At this time, the wind was a little weaker, and suddenly a sharp whistle came from behind the sand dune opposite. Ye Tianchen was shocked and picked up the engineer shovel and ran to the site of the incident. Fortunately, it was very close, less than two hundred steps away, and took two steps at a time. Jin Xiong's subordinates also responded quickly, and followed Ye Tianchen with the guy.

I saw that half of Princess Mary was stuck in the sand, and she kept struggling. Princess Tracy was grabbing her arm and dragging her out desperately.

I don’t know who shouted: Quicksand…

After Ye Tianchen arrived, he rushed forward along the footprints on the ground and grabbed Princess Mary regardless of everything. Golden Bear's hands were not enough to find a rope, so he untied his belt and wanted to cover Princess Mary's arm.

Unexpectedly, without using much effort, he dragged Princess Mary out of the sand. It seemed that it was not quicksand. Princess Mary was frightened and threw herself into Princess Tracy's arms and cried. After all, she had never encountered such dangers, of course she was frightened. Fortunately, Queen Anna was still in the tent, otherwise she would have been worried about the previous dangers of her daughter.

After coming up, Ye Tianchen hurriedly asked: Is it quicksand Ah?

When Ye Tianchen saw Princess Mary's tears for the first time, he felt a sense of distress in his heart. For Ye Tianchen, a woman's tears have never been able to resist.

While comforting Princess Mary, Princess Tracy said to Ye Tianchen: As soon as we reached the back of the dune, the princess stepped on the air, and her whole body was halfway down. I quickly pulled her and then blew the whistle to ask for help. However, it seemed that it was not quicksand. The quicksand shoals were fast and suctioning. If it was quicksand, I could not hold her back with my strength. And after she fell halfway, she stopped, as if the bottom was solid. Otherwise, you would come and delay the news and delay the past ten seconds in the middle. It would be too late to save people from quicksand.

Princess Tracy was also frightened before, but fortunately her long-term calmness made her make the rescue whistle immediately

After being rescued, Princess Mary's mood improved significantly. At this time, she came to her senses and wiped her tears and said: I seemed to step on a stone slab under the sand. There was a section under the stone slab that was empty, and it collapsed as soon as I stepped on it.

At this time, the Golden Bear also rushed over. When Princess Mary said this, she suddenly seemed to think of something and exclaimed: Could it be those stone tombs? Men, let's take a look

The boss said that the subordinates started to take action. They dug a few times with a shovel and then fell into Princess Mary. Under the not-so-thick layer of yellow sand, it was parallel to the slope of the sand dune. A sloping stone wall was exposed. A large hole was blown up by someone with explosives. It seemed that the explosion had not been long. In recent days, the wind and sand had covered the hole of the hole thinly. Princess Mary stepped on the gravel next to the hole and sank it in. Everyone looked at the cave. Look at me, I look at you, looking at each other, this was clearly a stone tomb. Ah, was it stolen?

The Golden Bear carefully checked the gravel at the entrance of the cave and the direction of the explosion impact. The precise small-scale directional blasting was too familiar to the Golden Bear, who was born in the gangster. It seems that the people who blasted the rock body fully understood the resistance to breakage. The explosion only blew the stone walls down, and the gravel spread outward, without damaging the interior of the stone tomb at all. Looking at the power of the explosives, it was definitely not civil explosives. Seeing this, the Golden Bear was shocked. Could it be that it was already taking action there?

Of course, Ye Tianchen did not notice the look on his face at this time, because Ye Tianchen was still comforting Princess Mary with Princess Tracy here.

After cleaning the dunes, Ye Tianchen came over and saw a hammer-shaped stone wall. Except for the blasted side, the rest of the parts were buried deep under the yellow sand. It seemed that it was a typical stone tomb from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The huge and thick rocks were arched and the gaps were glued with marinades. Such stone tombs were very common near the Xiye ruins. In the early 19th century, an European explorer once described it like this: The stone tombs everywhere in the desert are large and small, countless, and most of them were buried under the yellow sand, revealing the black spire outside, like a reduced version of the Egyptian pyramid, walking through the desert with stone tombs. The scene is amazing.

Now that these stone tombs have been completely covered by the desert, it is difficult to find their traces. Ye Tianchen probably may be related to the huge sandstorm a few days ago. The strong wind exposed part of the stone tomb. What was the most unexpected thing for Ye Tianchen was that the tomb was stolen. Is there anyone in front of them? What is the purpose of this group of people?

Could it be that it is for the sake of the King of Qin to mirror the bones? Then again, there is no possibility. If South Korea starts to take action, then what about Japan?

There is no reason to waste this opportunity there. Thinking of this, Ye Tianchen couldn't help but worry. It's already troublesome to deal with the Golden Bear. If there are Japanese people in front of you, then things will be more complicated
