The camels also felt the danger signal coming from the sky and ran wildly in the desert with their four big hooves like crazy.
Normally, it is fun to sit on a camel and walk around, but once it starts running, it becomes very bumpy. It is a more bumpy state than riding a horse.
Hao Shuai, who had known this situation for a long time, used his mind power to isolate himself from the camel's hump as he did when he entered the desert. This not only avoided the bumps, but also saved the poor camel's energy. Otherwise, with Hao Shuai's current situation,
Hao Shuai didn't suffer, but Hu Bayi and the others couldn't. They lay tightly on the camel's back and let the camel carry them forward, for fear of falling if they lost their grip.
The running camel caravan was speeding through the desert, and the raised yellow sand rolled up a giant yellow dragon. Everyone wore goggles on their eyes and covered their noses and mouths with scarves. Only the handsome Hao Shuai wore a
Cool sunglasses followed silently, paying attention to people who might fall behind at any time.
Fortunately, no one in the group fell behind until noon. However, everyone was very tired, and the vigorous camels were also sweating profusely and had to slow down.
When Hu Bayi saw everyone's state, he had to ask An Liman to stop and let everyone take a rest.
As soon as he stopped, the old Professor Chen rolled over from the back of the camel and fell into the sand, out of breath and unable to speak a word. The frail Ye Yixin also turned pale and retched.
With.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the blown sand and dust covered the sky. Hao Shuai asked everyone to take advantage of this moment to eat a few mouthfuls of dry food and drink more water. They didn't care about saving water at this time.
Everyone quickly took out the naan and dried meat, and took a few mouthfuls of water while Hu Bayi checked everyone's situation one by one and counted the supplies.
After resting for only a moment, a breeze blew through the dunes and rolled up wisps of fine sand. The sky in the distance gradually turned into a dark yellow. An Liman shouted: "The trade wind is coming, don't rest anymore! God bless you,
There are so many of us, let’s run away quickly!”
The members of the archaeological team dragged their exhausted bodies and climbed on the camels again. At this time, they no longer cared about the camels' physical strength and shouted to urge the camels to run.
"Fat man, you are in the front, watching An Liman, Lao Hu, you are in the middle, watching the others, I will be in the back." Hao Shuai ordered Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang nodded, made an OK gesture, and went to the front and center of the team respectively.
The sky that was clear just now seemed to have darkened in an instant. The wind came too fast, and more and more fine sand was swept into the air by the wind. The surrounding area was shrouded in overwhelming sand and dust, and the visibility was getting lower and lower.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, the sand was raging, and there was a dark yellow everywhere. When they ran to the back, all the people in the archaeological team stopped, and the camels seemed to be frightened and could not run away.
No matter how much the old man An Liman beat him, he didn't listen to his instructions. He lined up in a row, squatted on the spot, and buried his head in the sand.
When a camel dies, it remains in this posture, as if a sinner is receiving punishment.
An Liman said that these were camels that were frightened by Hu Da's black wind and sand. They knew that the black wind and sand would come soon and there was no point in running, so they simply knelt on the ground and waited to die.
"Why are there two people missing? Where are Shengun and Professor Chen?" Hu Bayi suddenly shouted after counting the number of people.
Only then did the others realize that two people had fallen behind, and for a while they didn't know when they fell behind.
Hu Ba drove the camel in a hurry and wanted to go back to look for Hao Shuai and Professor Chen, but was stopped by Fatty Wang.
"Lao Hu, the wind and sand are so strong, it's useless for you to go back now."
"Fat man, you can't just leave them alone!"
"You have forgotten how powerful the magic stick is. He should have gone to save Professor Chen. I have confidence in him."
…
While Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were watching, the sharp-eyed Shirley Yang spotted a camel walking out of the wind and sand, and a person could be vaguely seen sitting on the camel.
"Look, they seem to be back." Shirley Yang said.
Everyone looked in the direction, and sure enough, as they got closer, they could see a camel running towards them. It was none other than Hao Shuai carrying Professor Chen on his back.
After Hao Shuai and the others met, they realized that it was Professor Chen who had fallen off the camel and fainted, and was discovered and rescued by Hao Shuai who was at the rear.
As for Professor Chen’s camel, he had long since abandoned Professor Chen and ran away without loyalty.
Seeing that Professor Chen was safe and sound, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, but soon thought of the coming black sandstorm and that they were about to be buried alive, and their faces turned pale again.
"Everyone, run this way. There are ruins of an ancient city over there." Hao Shuai, who was on a hunchback, pointed to a sand mountain not far away and said.
This is the position Hao Shuai observed just now while flying in mid-air.
Hearing Hao Shuai's words, everyone looked surprised. No one doubted Hao Shuai's words. They all got on the camels and drove the camels in the direction Hao Shuai pointed.
It's a pity that the camels really seemed to be waiting for death at this time. No matter how hard everyone drove them, it was useless.
"An Liman, if you don't want to die, take us there. Otherwise, we will all die here." Hu Bayi grabbed An Liman and said.
Seeing how much everyone trusted Hao Shuai, An Liman thought that he would die if he left, and he would die if he didn't leave. He immediately rode the leading camel to lead the way, and the camels behind him also followed closely.
When everyone arrived at the sand mountain, they found that there was indeed a broken city wall under the sand mountain, and a large rammed earth fortress underneath, which was regarded as the remains of a small ancient city.
Most of the buildings in the ruins of the ancient city have been buried by the yellow sand, and some houses have collapsed. Only a strong section of the city wall stands out. It has been exposed to the wind and sun for countless years, and has turned into the same color as the desert.
As the members of the archaeological team survived the disaster, everyone's face turned yellow. It was unclear whether they were frightened or had dust on their faces.
Everyone got off the camels. An Liman directed the camels to lie down by the wall, while Hu Bayi led a group of people to go down one after another from the broken roof of a big house.
This is a facility similar to a government office or a city hall. It is relatively tall. Unfortunately, most of it has been submerged by yellow sand, so everyone can only bend down. If they raise their heads even slightly, they will hit the wooden beams above.
Hao Shuai asked Hu Bayi to light a fire with wormwood under the outer wall of the house, take care of everyone, and then walked out of the roof directly to face the black sandstorm in the eyes of everyone in disbelief.
"Shengun, what are you doing? Come back quickly~~"
"Taoist Master, it's dangerous outside!"
"Crazy~crazy~~"
…
At this time, the big sandstorm has come, and the wind is howling, shaking the earth. Hao Shuai ignored the words inside, looking at the power of nature, he couldn't help but think of the story about the Yellow Wind in Chapter 21 of Journey to the West.
Description of the demonic wind caused by the monster: Good wind! Really dangerous: cold and blowing, the sky and the earth change, the shadowless and invisible yellow sand swirls. It breaks through the forest and collapses the pine and plum trees, sows the dust and collapses the ridges...
Thinking of this, Hao Shuai suddenly wanted to experience the experience of Sun Dasheng being blown somersaults, so he used his mind power to cover his whole body, flew to the center of the black sand storm, and let the strong wind blow him around.
After experiencing this roller coaster-like excitement, Hao Shuai calmed down and flew back to the ruins of the ancient city. On the way, he saw a few yellow sheep in the corner of the city wall, so he went out and shot two more.
