After a pause, I added: "Muta City was submerged by wind and sand overnight, and people at that time did not deliberately bury it to build tombs, so finding the dragon's cave is almost useless."
Sister Yuan sighed: "Does that mean that if the ancient city of Muta is right under our feet, we may not be able to find it?"
I said that's true, so luck is crucial for us this time.
"That's right." Zhao Hu came over and asked me: "The people in Muta City must have turned into ghosts when all the people died. It stands to reason that the evil atmosphere in the place where Muta City is located should be very strong. Can we base it on this?" To find their approximate location?"
"You mean to think of a way to detect evil spirits, right?"
Zhao Hu nodded: "Yes."
I said: "We can't spread quicklime or chicken blood while walking. The supplies we brought are limited, and it is really impossible to test it in such a large area."
"Am I saying that apart from these methods, there are no other ways to detect it?"
"If the evil spirit is very strong, you can still find some solutions. If the evil spirit is very weak, or has almost dissipated after so many years, there will be nothing you can do."
The pigtail sighed and said let it be fate.
Then he took a blanket and spread it on the ground, then lay back: "Let's sleep for a while. I hope that when I wake up, a tall wooden tower will appear in front of me, haha."
Zhao Hu kicked the sand towards the braid and joked: "Go and dream, there is everything in the dream."
The pigtail let out a cry, sat up and cursed: "You are so damn sick, you made me covered in sand."
As he said that, he grabbed the sand and threw it towards Zhao Hu. Because he lifted it relatively high, some of it floated to Xiao Ye in the wind.
Xiao Ye immediately became anxious and shouted asking him what he was doing.
Xiaoye's roar frightened Xiao Zhuizi so much that he quickly got up and ran to Xiaoye to apologize: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, mainly because I wanted to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiaoye immediately said: "Go away!"
Xiaozi took two steps back obediently. His cautious look made Zhao Hu laugh wildly again. Xiaozi probably thought he had made Xiaoye unhappy, and now Zhao Hu hated him. The two of them then started to laugh. They ran and made fun.
Of course, with Zhao Hu's size, it would definitely be Pigtail who would suffer.
According to Tuhao'er, he would definitely be back in less than an hour. When we waited here for almost fifty minutes, Zhao Hu couldn't wait any longer.
As he climbed up the sand dune, he said, "I'll go up and see if he's coming back soon."
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not even an hour yet."
Pigtail said as he sat up from his blanket.
"It stands to reason that he is riding a fast camel. He travels lightly and can be back in thirty or forty minutes. It shouldn't take so long."
"What do you mean something happened?" Jianzui asked.
As soon as he said this, Sister Yuan immediately stared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, crow mouth. What if you get it right?"
Jianzui smiled and said: "I also said that the Wooden Tower City is right under our feet. Is it really there? It would be better if I just told you what to do."
"Could it be that he came back to find us, but took the wrong route?" Xiaoye asked.
I said it shouldn't be possible. His ability to survive in the desert is so strong that he shouldn't make such a stupid mistake. He was probably still in the Tutu Lake Oasis, or on his way back.
I told everyone not to worry and just wait a little longer.
Being an impatient Zhao Hu, he finally climbed up the sand dune and looked in the direction of the oasis, and then shouted to us: "I didn't see the figure of Tu Boy, is he still in the oasis?"
Jianzui also joked, saying that he probably went to have a big meal at a friend's place. All he had been eating these days was dry and hard beef jerky or dry food, which made him vomit.
Zhao Hu snorted and said, "You think everyone is like you."
At this time, I waved my hand to Zhao Hu, indicating that he should come down first and wait a little longer.
He sat down on the sand dune. It was easier to come down than to go up, so he had to wait there for a while.
After about ten minutes, Zhao Hu suddenly shouted: "Why is it cloudy over there? It's such a dark cloud."
My heart suddenly jumped: "Where is it?"
"It's the direction we came from, and the direction of Tutu Lake Oasis. This cloud doesn't look right."
I had a bad feeling in my heart, what was going to happen?
Without thinking much, I immediately climbed up the sand dune. Little Braid and Little Ma also followed me up. Sister Yuan and Xiao Ye probably found it too tiring to climb the dune, and it was easy for sand to get into their clothes. He just stood there and didn't move.
The little braid climbed halfway and ran down again, saying that it was not safe to leave the two women behind.
When I climbed to the top of the sand dune, a large dark cloud was covering it in the southeast direction. It was endless at both ends and could not be seen at all. Moreover, there was a strong wind under the dark cloud, and the sand was blown up dozens of meters high. It looked like A huge yellow city wall is approaching here.
"Damn it, isn't this a sandstorm?" Zhao Hu asked at this time.
I said I was afraid that it wouldn't just be a sandstorm, but it would be troublesome if something evil happened.
"Then what should we do now? Should we run? Or should we go down and hide first?"
I took a look at the speed at which the yellow sand was spreading. It was almost faster than the speed of a car. Let alone running in the desert, we couldn't run on the road. Now we could only find a place to hide.
Jianzui had crawled very slowly just now, and now he was panting and climbing up. He glanced at the dark clouds and sandstorms on the horizon, and couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, what the hell is this? It looks like It’s like the end of the world.”
Then he looked at me, his eyes seeming to ask me what to do.
I thought hard about it. During the past few days of our march, Tubaoer gave us a lot of popular science on how to survive in the desert. He said that if you encounter a sandstorm, the first thing to do is to find shelter from the wind, such as behind a pile of rocks or a large plant. later.
If you can't find it, look for a low-lying area or a leeward spot, and wear a veil and goggles to prevent sand from getting in your eyes.
At this time, there were stretching sand dunes everywhere, and there were no piles of rocks or large plants at all. We could only choose to take shelter in low-lying areas.
Just as I was thinking about it, dark clouds and sandstorms were already approaching us. The speed was obviously ridiculously fast, which shocked me.
Before I could give any instructions, a gust of wind mixed with yellow sand slapped my face and clothes, making a "rustling" sound, and I was almost blown down.
