Although I am physically strong and powerful, I have to admit that I am not entirely confident in the face of the world's largest shifting sand desert.
However, Anliman's rest stops, the dilapidated ruins, and the scattered poplar trees at each stop were all carefully planned.
When these things are connected, they form a route through the desert.
Anliman truly deserves the title of "living map of the desert." Without him leading the way, we would have taken countless detours along the way.
However, as time went by, the group eventually left the Peacock River basin.
Now, there was no water source to replenish along the way, and they could only rely on the water they had brought with them on the way there.
But Bai Jing knew that they had brought a total of seventeen camels when they arrived, and apart from the camel drivers' camels, they could only bring about half of them at most.
Tons of water.
This amount of water may seem like a lot, but if ten people use it, it will run out in at most ten days.
This is assuming that nothing bad happens.
As time went by, the group had been in the desert for more than ten days. Before, they could occasionally see some plants, but now they had completely disappeared. All they could see was sand, an endless sea of sand all around them.
The water the group brought with them had already been more than half consumed due to the extreme heat and high evaporation rates.
However, according to Shirley Yang's interpretation of the notebook's contents, the group had only covered about half the journey so far.
In that case, with less than half the water, you have to travel more than half the distance; the remaining journey will be difficult.
The team is no longer as optimistic as it was at the beginning.
On this morning, as dawn broke, colorful clouds could be seen drifting across the horizon.
The more Bai Jing looked at the colorful clouds, the more uneasy he felt.
And Bai Pi was unusually quiet at this moment, just gazing intently at the distant sunset.
Clearly, the white people also had a bad feeling.
Thinking of this, Bai Jing immediately went to ask An Liman, only to find An Liman kneeling on a blanket, seemingly performing Mass.
Bai Jing felt increasingly uneasy as he looked around, and immediately disregarded everything else, starting to wake everyone up one by one.
"Get up quickly, get up quickly, get up and pack your things! A strong wind might hit soon. Pack your things, get on the camels, and let's go!"
Hearing Bai Jing's words, everyone else was a little confused, but Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang unconsciously looked at Bai Jing and touched their chests. Bai Jing nodded heavily.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi and Fatty quickened their pace, urging the others to hurry up as well.
Others may not know, but the two of them trusted Bai Jing's intuition.
They knew that Bai Jing had the ability to foresee danger, and now that Bai Jing had confirmed it, they knew it was definitely very dangerous, so they couldn't care less about anything else.
Seeing that Bai Jing and the other two were taking action, the others quickly followed suit.
In no time, everything was loaded onto the camels, and they were ready to set off.
Anliman naturally noticed this scene and was quite speechless. He had originally planned to find an opportunity to escape later, but he didn't expect that the others would act faster than him. There was nothing he could do.
Seeing that everyone else was ready, Anliman quickly gathered up the blanket and set off with the camels.
After the camels had been traveling for almost an hour, the ruins of an ancient city came into view.
However, the celestial phenomena remained unchanged at this point. Just when everyone wondered if Bai Jing had misjudged the situation, several grains of sand suddenly flew in from behind.
Upon seeing the sand, Bai Jing couldn't help but say, "These are hyacinths. We'll be there soon. Everyone, keep your heads down or get off the camels quickly. Let's go into the ancient city to avoid the sandstorm."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly dismounted from their camels or lowered their bodies.
Before long, the moment everyone arrived at the ancient city ruins, the sandstorm finally arrived.
The sandstorm was so intense that everyone quickly settled the camels and then found a nearby cellar to crawl into.
Chapter 152 Desert Army Ants
Even after everyone entered the cellar, it still didn't work, because the cellar had no door and sand was still pouring in.
Seeing this, Bai Jing immediately shouted, "Fatty, Lao Hu, come with me outside to find some wood or something. We need to block the door, otherwise, if this sandstorm keeps blowing in, we won't be able to stay in this cellar. Besides, it gets too cold at night, so we'll need to start a fire. We'll need firewood then, so let's hurry up and find some while the sandstorm is still relatively calm, otherwise it will be hard to find later."
Upon hearing Bai Jing's words, Hu Bayi and Fatty quickly got to work, while Chu Jian and Sadi Peng, seeing this, also volunteered.
The five young men in the group had all gone out to find timber.
As soon as Bai Jing stepped out of the cellar, he saw that, in the distance, jackals and gazelles would even sneak into the same dilapidated house.
It seems that even natural enemies will temporarily sheathe their sharpness and band together for warmth in the face of the immense power of heaven and earth.
Fortunately, Bai Jing stopped thinking about these things and started looking for wood and branches.
Fortunately, Bai Jing found a tree trunk that had been blown down many years ago and dragged him back to the cellar.
The others also gained something in their own way.
And so, the group made several trips back and forth, finally managing to gather enough firewood for blocking the door and for use at night.
Then Bai Jing led his men to unload the food and water from the camels and transport them into the cellar.
No one carried much; they just took enough food to last about two days for everyone.
On their way back, they saw fresh wolf footprints at the door, which startled them all.
In response, Anliman said, "There is a sandstorm blowing in the sky right now, and the animals on the ground are terrified. Right now, the sheep and the wolves are hiding in a house. But when the sandstorm stops, the wolves will bare their teeth, and the sheep will show their horns."
Everyone can understand what Anliman said.
Just in case, everyone took turns keeping watch at night.
The sandstorm raged for a full day and night, from the morning of the first day until the morning of the second day, when it finally subsided and stopped completely around 10 a.m.
During this time, everyone was naturally busy. Besides reorganizing their notes, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi took turns telling stories and anecdotes.
Hu Bayi mainly talks about his time in the army or the various battles in the self-defense counterattack against the monkeys.
Bai Jing, on the other hand, mainly talked about the various archaeological activities he participated in.
In fact, even Professor Chen and Professor Hao were very interested in Bai Jing's archaeological experiences.
After all, although Bai Jing is much younger than them, the number of archaeological activities he has participated in is more than the two of them combined.
After all, while Professor Chen and Professor Hao have also studied the history of other regions, their main research focus is on the ancient Western Regions culture. Bai Jing, on the other hand, has studied the ancient cultures of almost every region.
The key is
Bai Jing is particularly famous for his skill in finding tomb entrances. In the industry, if anyone can't find the location of a tomb entrance, they can always find it by contacting Bai Jing.
Listening to Bai Jing recount the various tombs and ruins he had visited was truly captivating.
Sadi Peng, Chu Jian, and Ye Yixin listened especially carefully.
After more than a day of communication, Sadi Peng and the other two, who already respected Bai Jing, were now even more impressed.
As Shirley Yang listened to Bai Jing's experiences, she felt that her money had indeed been well spent.
After the sandstorm subsided, everyone prepared to pack up and leave.
When they entered the room, they found a skeleton. As they prepared to dig a hole to bury the skeleton, Bai Jing initially didn't pay much attention. However, when they started digging, Bai Jing felt a sudden pang of fear.
But at that moment, for some unknown reason, the white guy suddenly jumped to the ground and howled at it.
Bai Jing ignored Bai Pi's reaction for the time being and shouted, "Stop burying him! Get out of here! There's a sense of danger here."
Upon hearing Bai Jing's words, Hu Bayi and Fatty were the quickest to act, immediately grabbing their things and rushing towards the camel.
Then the others realized what was happening, and at that moment everyone believed Bai Jing's intuition.
If Bai Jing senses danger, then there is definitely danger.
Immediately, no one buried the skeleton.
Sure enough, the next moment, as soon as everyone ran out of the room, they saw small mounds of earth suddenly rising up on the ground. Then, as the mounds broke open, a large number of bright red ants poured out of them.
Shirley Yang, a professional photographer for a geography magazine, was familiar with various animals. He immediately recognized the ants and shouted, "Everyone, run! These are..."
As Shirley Yang shouted, more and more mounds of earth appeared on the ground. Just as Bai Jing was about to call Bai Pi to leave, he saw Bai Pi suddenly grab a few and stuff them into his mouth. Then, as if he had eaten something delicious, he ran around happily on the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the white-skinned man jumped onto a pile of broken walls and then spat out the red pill.
Seeing this, Bai Jing stopped urging them and told the others to leave first.
Shirley Yang noticed the white-skinned man's movements. She had never seen such a scene before and was stunned.
Fortunately, Hu Bayi pulled him away and dragged her away.
At this moment, as the red pill was expelled, countless small white insects began to crawl towards the white skin.
Bai Jing stood next to Bai Pi, but the little white insects all bypassed Bai Pi and went around to the surroundings.
In an instant, countless small white insects rushed towards the attack from an area of tens of meters in radius.
Those who encountered the small white insects retreated as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
At this moment, Hu Bayi and his group had arrived at a safe area. Then they saw that, centered on Bai Jing and Bai Pi, countless creatures were being devoured by the little white insects as time went by.
To be honest, this was the first time Bai Jing had ever seen Bai Pi summon so many little white worms.
Even the white-skinned red cinnabar has now become dull and lifeless.
But it's clear that Bai Pi is unusually excited at this moment.
