Chapter 575 The Weird Stone Statue

After a short rest in the desert oasis, Xu Haibao and his party continued their journey of experience.Although the desert is barren and inhabited at the moment, Xu Haibao knows that this no-man's land was very lively in ancient times, and it was even known as the ancient Silk Road.

Times have changed, and the once-prosperous Silk Road has now become a forbidden zone for human beings.Although there are archaeological teams entering from time to time, it is still difficult to find the ancient ruins buried in the yellow sand.

As a result, some ancient countries that disappeared soon became lost ancient cities in the eyes of others.Some people even wonder why those rich ancient silk countries disappeared?All unsolved mysteries are waiting to be discovered by future generations.

Bringing Tang Xingyou and others here to practice this time, Xu Haibao also wanted to see what secrets were hidden in this mysterious place in the eyes of the world.Experiencing some adventure in addition to experience will also add more fun.

After persisting for the first three days, everyone has gradually adapted to the desert experience in the next few days.Seeing the dead skin peeling off from his body, many team members felt that.If people see them like this, they will probably be terrified.

All the team members who participated in the training could feel that the regenerated skin is obviously stronger than before.Resisting the scorching sun over the desert is no longer as uncomfortable as before.

When the group left the desert area, they walked into an area still covered by yellow sand, but there were many dead Populus euphratica.Tang Xingyou, who was following Xu Haibao, said a little excitedly, "This should be Guloulan soon, right?"

"It should be! Judging from these dead Populus euphratica, this place was also an oasis in the early years. Unfortunately, this area has gradually become a dead land because of the loss of sufficient water supply. It seems that we should have gone a long way."

Looking at these withered Populus euphratica standing proudly and firmly in the yellow sand, Xu Haibao could also sense through his mental power that the roots of the withered Populus euphratica are deeply rooted, but they still cannot absorb deeper groundwater.

Without water supply, these Populus euphratica, which were originally the most drought-resistant, still could not escape the end of withering.Over time, it became what it is now.Maybe after a few years, even the dead branches of Populus euphratica may be buried by yellow sand.

Knowing that it was not far from the legendary ancient city of Loulan, Xu Haibao also gave the order to rest at the right time.The people who originally only wore shorts quickly changed into the costumes of scientific expedition members.As for the special forces, they were fully armed again.

Xu Haibao, who took out a pair of glasses and put them on, also looked a bit more scholarly.Although such a scientific research team should be rather weird.But such a dress will also save a lot of trouble, so as not to scare possible explorers.

There must be no explorers like Xu Haibao who walked through the desert on foot. Most of the people who came here to explore came for the ancient city hidden in this mysterious area.Some people think that the disappearing ancient city of Loulan should be buried by yellow sand.

If someone can dig it out, the wealth accumulated in the ancient city will make explorers rich overnight.There are many such rumors in the local area, but there are very few people who actually made a fortune from the adventure, but quite a few people died from the adventure.

It is difficult for ordinary people to survive in this area. Even professional expedition members will die here if they are not careful.It is precisely because of the weirdness and mystery of this area that it attracts more and more explorers to come here to find out.

Sensing the ruins buried under the yellow sand with mental power, Xu Haibao could also see some bones buried in the yellow sand.Judging from these bones, some were accidental deaths, while others were tombs where the dead were buried.

Before coming to the Loulan site, Xu Haibao also consulted a lot of materials in the Special Affairs Institute.In general, the archaeological community has not yet given a definite answer as to why the ancient Loulan country suddenly disappeared.One can imagine how difficult it is to unravel this historical mystery.

It's just that the female corpse excavated in the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan in the early years was also recorded in detail in the secret files of the Special Affairs Institute.Before the female corpse was excavated from the ground, it looked like a living person, but it was still intact after thousands of years.

In addition, the staff involved in that archaeological excavation seem to have subsequently died of illness.The cause of death, without exception, was organ failure.As for what caused the organ failure, there is still no explanation.

Arriving at the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, looking at the ruins that still existed, Xu Haibao said directly: "This should not be the real location of the ancient city of Loulan. The scale of the ruins seems too small."

"No? So where might the real ancient city ruins be?"

"Judging from the ruins, the ancient city should not be far from the ruins. If I guessed correctly, these ruins should be the location of a bustling commercial main street in the ancient city of Loulan. As for the main city, it should be nearby. .”

"But it looks normal around here!"

"Don't worry! If the ancient city of Loulan is so easy to find, it won't be a mystery."

Xu Haibao, who was chatting with everyone, turned his eyes to the distance, looking at the sand dunes buried by yellow sand.He felt that if the ancient city of Loulan really existed, the most likely place to exist would be these towering sand dunes.

It's a pity that those dunes look too much, and there are even quicksand traps in some places.If you are not careful, you may be swallowed by quicksand.This kind of trap is also the most feared existence of explorers who come here to take risks.

Once trapped in this kind of quicksand pit, it will be extremely difficult to get out.Even some large quicksand pits will swallow people, cars or camels together.It is not easy to find the buried ancient city in such a complex environment!
Walking around the ruins of the ancient city through mental power, Xu Haibao found that there was nothing of value, and said, "Old Tang, it's not early yet, so find a place sheltered from the wind, and we'll rest nearby for the night."

"it is good!"

Walking to this area, although it is still barren.But compared to the hinterland of the desert where we walked before, the condition of the ancient city ruins is still better than that of the desert.At least some of the ruined walls can keep out the wind and sand.

While other people set up tents to set up a campsite, Xu Haibao walked to the sand dunes next to the ruins and observed the situation buried under the yellow sand through mental power.On the way here, Xu Haibao also found many uncontained bones.

From those bones, Xu Haibao felt that there should be some unknown things near the ruins.At least some unknown chaos must have occurred near this ruins back then.Was it caused by the chaos of war, or was it something else?
Even though he is a golden core monk, Xu Haibao still feels that it is really not an easy task to find out the buried historical truth.It's just that when you come to this place, if there is a secret, you will encounter it sooner or later.

Rest safely for one night near the ruins, although Xu Haibao found some valuable metal objects.But Xu Haibao still didn't stop, but continued to move forward.Those gold products did not have much effect on Xu Haibao.

There are even quite a few of them, and it can be clearly seen that they were buried with the ancients in the early years.If it was dug out, Xu Haibao felt that it was completely unnecessary.Gold is not as strong as a meteorite to Xu Haibao.

Continuing along the ancient river channel buried by yellow sand, Xu Haibao finally discovered something just when Xu Haibao and his party were about to enter the mysterious Lop Nur area.Looking at the sand dunes under his feet, Xu Haibao suddenly ordered to stop.

Seeing Xu Haibao who stopped suddenly, Tang Xingyou, who knew him well, immediately said, "Did you find anything?"

"I found something weird and it's hidden under this sand dune. Get out of the way first, I'll clean it up, and it won't be too late to study it. That thing has some research value for me."

Observing through spiritual power, there is a buried ancient building under the sand dunes.What really made Xu Haibao curious was that the things placed in this ancient building could resist his spiritual detection.

Xu Haibao and others, who stopped moving forward, began to dig out around the huge sand dunes.After excavating the things placed in the ancient building, looking at the huge stone statue exposed, someone said: "This stone statue looks so weird!"

That's right!The huge stone statue buried in the sand dunes has a strange carved image.Even Wang Yuzhu and others felt a little uncomfortable seeing this stone statue.Only Xu Haibao looked a little thoughtful.

After the final confirmation, Xu Haibao was also very surprised in his heart and said: "Magic stone puppet! This thing should be the magic stone puppet worshiped by ancient demon cultivators. No wonder it can resist my spiritual spying. Could it be that there was a cultivator here in the early years?" The devil?"

Magic repair!A group of cultivators who are naturally opposed to cultivators, a group of crazy monks who will do anything to improve their cultivation.In the era when cultivators existed, once a magic cultivator and a cultivator met, it would be an endless fight to the death.

"Keep digging down! Remember, don't touch these stone statues, these stone statues are weird!"

Seeing Xu Haibao's serious confession, everyone didn't dare to ask any more questions, and continued to throw the yellow sand covering the stone statues and buildings to other places.Not long after, the heads of stone statues emerged from the ground one after another.

Just as the excavation work was coming to an end, several magic stone puppets showed their figures.Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Xu Haibao suddenly said: "Stop first! Continue digging tomorrow!"

"Dig tomorrow? What about that night?"

"Camp and rest next to it! Keep your spirits up at night, these stone statues are weird. I always feel that I shouldn't let them reappear. Forget it, just be careful!"

"understand!"

Looking at these magic stone puppets that were mostly dug out, Xu Haibao could feel that there was very little magic power remaining on them.In fact, magic power is also a kind of spiritual power.It's just that magic power is more difficult to control, and it's easier to create illusions.

Digging during the day, suppressed by the hot sun, the magic power of the magic stone puppets will be suppressed.Now that it was getting dark, Xu Haibao was worried about what might happen, so he decided to temporarily stop the excavation work and continue digging after dawn.

If something unexpected happens, Xu Haibao will also find a way to move these magic stone puppets to the Chaos Orb space.Even if the puppet statue is weird, it will be ruthlessly suppressed in the Chaos Orb!
