Chapter 52 Desert

Yawulan, who rode a horse with Langli, turned his head back from time to time and cared about Ling Tianhong. It was not until he saw a horse running towards them from afar and saw him clearly that a hanging heart settled down.

Out of the Wolf Valley, I was afraid that they would catch up, so I avoided the avenue and took the path. After crossing a low forest, I entered the desert of yellow sand, which was boundless.

Ling Tianhong is not familiar with geography and follows Langli, and the way back is also difficult. This road is not familiar to Langli, so he can only move forward in the direction.

"I'm so thirsty! Who still has water? Yaulan raised her head feebly and asked.

"No, bear with it!" Langli shook the kettle and it was empty.

"I'm so thirsty." After saying that, Yawulan lay down softly back on Langli's back.

After walking for a day and a night, I got lost, and the yellow sand was still out of sight.

"Look, there is an oasis in front of you." Mu Sang pointed to a green space in the distance and shouted.

Ling Tianhong looked in the direction he pointed. There was really an oasis, and there was an oasis, which represented a water source. The three girls walking in the front hurriedly led the horse to the oasis, and the others followed.

Suddenly, a girl screamed loudly and stood still.

Langli and Ling Tianhong rushed forward, but saw the girls and Ma slowly sinking.

Langli looked at this scene and hurriedly shouted, "Don't move, it's quicksand." The girls had sunk to their waists, crying anxiously but not daring to move, and the faster they moved, the faster they sank.

"Let's pull them out together, Langli, the one who pulls the red clothes, the one you pull the pink clothes, and the other one I pull, and pull them out at the same time." Ling Tianhong's division of labor.

"Good"

Three people had one, two or three people, and at the same time jumped up and stepped on the back of the sunken horse, and immediately pulled the girl out of the flowing sand and landed steadily on the edge; the horse stuck in the flowing sand slowly sank with the flowing sand and was finally buried by the flowing sand.

The girl who was rescued was shocked and retreated into the crowd and no longer dared to run ahead.

The group came to the oasis. It was a small oasis, but there was a clear water source, plants all over the ground, and several small animals were jumping.

Ling Tianhong and Langli caught a few big gerbils, which were obviously not enough to eat, so they decided to kill a horse, peeled them, roasted them, and distributed them to everyone.

I haven't had a good rest for a few days. I will spend the night here tonight. When I am full, everyone will lie on the grass and sleep.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large. During the day, the sand and gravel on the ground are easy to absorb heat and absorb a lot of heat during the day. At the same time, it lacks the transpiration of plants to reduce the temperature and increase humidity, so it is hot during the day.

Because there are no bare plants in the desert, it can't retain the heat during the day, and the heat absorption and heat dissipation of the ground are equally fast. Therefore, the temperature at night also drops significantly, resulting in a large temperature difference between day and night.

Everyone curled up in groups to resist the cold, while Ling Tianhong had a dragon ball protector, and he didn't feel cold at all. He leaned under a small tree and took out his piccolo. He missed Yaner very much for a few days.

Stand up and walk to the other end of the oasis. Go to a secluded place and sit down with your back against the tree: "Yan'er..."

Long Yaner appeared when she heard his call: "My husband..."

"Yan'er, I miss you for my husband. I haven't seen you for days. I miss you so much." Ling Tianhong patted her in front of him and motioned her to sit down.

Long Yaner sat in front of him, with her back against his chest.

Ling Tianhong hugged her, but he couldn't touch it. This feeling was so sad, and his heart was very uncomfortable. If it hadn't been to kill Wu Kui, he would have gone with her.

Gently said in her ear, "Madam, wait to be my husband."

"Well," Long Yaner answered. She was about to say something when she suddenly pricked up her ears and listened: "If there is a situation, be careful." After saying that, he got back into the piccolo.

Ling Tianhong put the piccolo in his arms and stood behind the tree and listened to the movement. Sure enough, there was a lot of footsteps. He quickly used his light skills and ran back to Langli and whispered, "Langli wake up. Someone is coming. Everyone, wake up quickly."

Everyone woke up and quickly walked to the small tree beside them and looked ahead quietly.

Taking advantage of the moonlight Ling Tianhong, eight people came with weapons on their bodies, dressed similar to Mu Sang and others. Just as they were about to ask Langli if they knew each other, they saw Langli and Mu Sang and others coming out.

When the other party saw someone, he drew a knife and was ready to chop it. Langli shouted, "Murong Yu..."

"Langli, I finally found you." Murong Yu and others took back the knife.

"Brother" Murong Shan shouted happily, walked out of the crowd, and jumped into her brother's arms.

"Shanshan, you're still alive. That's great. My parents are worried." Murong Yu held his sister's shoulders and looked at her excitedly.

"There are only eight of you? Did you find it by yourself or did Wang send you here? Mu Sang asked.

"After Wang knew it, he sent a team of people to look for it along the direction leading to the barbarians. Our team was formed by ourselves to find relatives and you; so we looked for you separately from Wang's team. Unexpectedly, a sandstorm fascinated us, so we touched here and happened to meet you." At this time, Murong Yu would like to thank the sandstorm.

"We also got lost and came here. You must be hungry. There is also some horse meat and water there." Langli took them to the front of the food.

"This time it was really miserable. There were many casualties. Wang was furious and said that after finding you, he would definitely pursue them to the end and destroy them in one fell swoop. The king suspected that it was done by the Hu people. Do you know who it was?" Murong Yu asked while eating meat.

"I don't know, but it doesn't look like a barbarian, but like a bully who occupies the mountain." Langli didn't know who they were either.

"I know," Yawulan thought about it. "I heard the thief leader say something about the Black Devil Ridge. He wants to send all our girls to the Black Devil Ridge as wives and concubines."

"Black Devil Ridge? What's that place?" Langli turned his head and asked Murong Yu, "Do you know?"

"I don't know"

"When I go back, I'll tell my father and ask him to send someone to check."

"Let's take a night off and leave tomorrow morning."

On the morning of the next day, everyone prepared the water and followed Langli to leave the oasis.

Langli led everyone to walk forward with his intuition, and then walked out of the long yellow sand. In front of him was the familiar ruins of the ancient city of Keka.

"Haha... I've arrived at the ancient city of Keka, and it's getting closer and closer to home. Murong Shan shouted excitedly and ran to the ancient city.

"Let's go and see if there is any water to drink." Ling Tianhong also ran into the ancient city of Keka.

The ancient city of Keka is very old. Looking at this site, the remnants of the broken walls buried by the wind and sand can be imagined that it was also an ancient city of prosperous civilization at the beginning; all the buildings show that it was already advanced and prosperous civilization at that time, but I don't know why people went to the city, whether it was war or natural disasters or something else? Now there are only ruins left, which is unknown.

The ancient city covers a wide area. Looking around, no house is intact, and all of them have collapsed or been buried by sand.

"Let's spend the night here tonight. Anyway, I'm almost home, and I'm not in a hurry to travel overnight. Let's spend the night here!" Lang Li sat down on the ruins: "It's getting dark. Don't run around."

"Someone fell into a hole. Save people quickly." At this time, Monte ran over.

Ling Tianhong and others followed him to the cave and saw a deep slant hole on the ground, but they could not see the figure of the girl falling down.

"Who fell down?" Langli asked.

"Murong Shan"

"My sister?" Murong Yu was surprised and quickly lay down at the entrance of the cave and looked in, but he couldn't see anyone, so he shouted at the cave: "Sister... Sister..."

It took a long time for a faint voice to come: "Brother..."

"It's okay... Hurry down and save people." Langli was about to jump down, but was stopped by Mo Rongyu.

"I'll go. You wait up there and see if there are any ropes. You can pull us up later." Murong Yu said and jumped down the hole and landed firmly at the bottom of the hole.

I saw my sister's half of her body covered by yellow sand. It must have been the sand that fell down.

Murong Yu squatted down and helped her sit up.

"It hurts..." Murong Shan touched her leg, and it seemed that her leg fell and hurt: "My leg can't move. It hurts when I move."

Murong Yu looked up. How can he take his sister out at such a high height? Unless there was a rope; he turned around and looked around. It seemed to be a hall. It seemed that the roof had collapsed, and Murong Shan just stepped on it and fell down.

"Is there a rope on it?" Murong Yu looked up and shouted.

"No."

"I'll go down and help him." Ling Tianhong jumped down.

The two went in separately to find the rope. Ling Tianhong took out the fire sickle for lighting, and the wall was full of murals. Although it was old, it was still beautiful. It can be seen that the sculptor at that time was already very smart.

The outside seemed to have been completely abandoned and buried, but the interior was intact. Ling Tianhong walked in along the middle corridor; the tables and chairs inside a door were covered with a thick layer of dust.

Continue to walk in, and then open a door. There are all kinds of different ceramic crafts inside. Ling Tianhong is tongue-dropping. It can be said that these things are also antique treasures. The careful Ling Tianhong noticed that there is also a small door that is not obvious inside. If it weren't for the destruction of time that the murals on the wall will fall off, this The door is really inconspicuous.

Ling Tianhong pushed in desperately. It turned out to be a dark room with several boxes of treasure on the ground. There was a dagger full of gems and a martial arts secret book on a stone table next to it. There was still a person sitting on the stone bench next to it. There was only a skeleton left, and his head was hanging down.

Ling Tianhong picked up the secret book and put it in his arms. He put his dagger on his waist, exited the room and walked out. He came to the entrance of the cave and looked up and shouted, "There are many treasures in the house below. Find the exit and move the treasure away!"

"Treasure?" Langli stared at Ling Tianhong below with wide eyes.

Ling Tianhong took the dagger in his waist and shook it in his hand: "Several boxes, call a few more people down and find an exit to take away the treasure together."

Langli and four other men jumped down one after another. The others stayed near the entrance of the cave, and the girls rested in place.

One person stayed with Murong Shan, and the others followed Ling Tianhong to the treasure room, moved out boxes of treasures one by box, piled them next to Mo Rongshan, and then looked for the exit after moving.

The palace is so big that I couldn't find a rope or exit for a long time.

"It's strange that there is no rope in a big palace?" Langli is a little depressed. There is no rope. How can he go out without an exit?

"Let's look for it. It's so old that even if you find the rope, it probably won't work." Ling Tianhong put his arms around and looked around looking for the exit.

"Well, it makes sense. Let's look for it separately! If you really can't find the exit, send someone back to the city tomorrow morning to report to the king and ask him to send someone to pull us out. Langli said and walked in again and continued to look for the exit.
