Regarding this issue, there is no clear record in the ancient book. It just says that it will parasitize in the brain of corpses. I don't know whether it is human corpses or animal corpses.
But since the camels we saw appeared in the desert, trying to find a dead person in the desert is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but there are many camels.
So I think it should also be parasitic on camel carcasses.
I told Sister Yuan that it was possible and that I had to be careful at night.
After continuing to drive for a few hours in the afternoon, we came to a place where sand and rocks alternate.
This place is not all soft sand like before, but some rocks or stones are exposed in some places, and the geology has become harder. We don’t need to ride camels, and it is easier to walk down.
To be honest, after riding a camel for so many days, I feel the inner thighs are sore. It feels better to walk occasionally.
When night fell, we found a rock mountain. This rock mountain was not high and very small. I don’t know if it was struck by lightning or something. There was a crack three or four meters wide, which cut the entire mountain. Divided into two, from a distance it looks like the "line of sky" in the costume TV series I watched before.
When we saw this mountain, we were very excited because this place has a name, called "Two Half Mountain", and the map we carried marked the location of the two half mountain.
The two halves of the mountain are located in the northwest of Tutu Lake Oasis, with a straight-line distance of more than 40 kilometers. I didn’t expect that after walking for several days, we were already more than 40 kilometers away from Tutu Lake Oasis.
As for whether we should be happy or sad to find this two-and-a-half-mountain mountain, I can't tell.
Logically speaking, after being lost in the desert for so long, we should be happy to suddenly find an exact direction. However, the two halves of the mountain are located in the hinterland of the desert. No matter which direction we go from here, we are far away from the way out. If we don't have enough Without food and water, the possibility of getting out alive is even smaller.
How could I be happy when I thought that I was going to die in the end?
"This...are these two halves of the mountain?"
At this moment, Professor Qin suddenly looked at the mountain in front of him excitedly and said.
"Does Professor Qin also know about Liangban Mountain?" Zhao Hu asked.
"Of course, there are two destinations for our archeology this time. One of them is called the Ancient City of Muta. According to the information we have, the Ancient City of Muta is not far to the west of the two and a half mountains. We only need to walk towards the west. , we can find the ancient city of Muta, so we can complete the mission."
As he spoke, Professor Qin looked around and muttered: "But now I can't even tell the difference between east, west, north and south. Which way is the west?"
My heart beat faster at this time, because we had not grasped the news just revealed by Professor Qin before. We knew that there was a two-and-a-half mountain on the map, but we did not know that the ancient city of Muta was actually to the west of the two-and-a-half mountain.
It seems that Professor Qin and the others have more authoritative information than we do.
Several of us in the tomb robbing team looked at each other, and then blinked in understanding. It seemed that we could get some information from Professor Qin and the others, so that we might find the ancient city of Muta earlier.
"I really didn't expect that we got here unexpectedly. Unfortunately, we don't have enough supplies. What if we find the ancient wooden tower city? There are no archaeological equipment. If we find it, we can just enjoy it by ourselves. Alas."
The rock man also said at this time: "Professor, let's not go looking for the ancient wooden tower city. It is important for us to escape now. Let's find a way to leave here as soon as possible."
Professor Qin looked a little unwilling. He just sighed and did not express his opinion on whether to go to the ancient city of Muta.
I told Professor Qin to stop thinking about all this mess and find a place to set up camp first.
Because I wanted to discuss countermeasures with our people, I deliberately stayed far away from Professor Qin and others when we set up camp.
After laying out the tent and bedding, I called our people together.
"Muta Ancient City is actually on the west side of the two half mountains. So if we can figure out the direction, can we leave them and go directly to Muta Ancient City?" Zhao Hu asked me in a low voice.
I said that if we are sure that the ancient city of Muta is in the west and we can grasp the specific direction, we can indeed act alone, but it is not clear whether the information is accurate or not. After all, we did not have this information before.
The pigtail said: "Professor Qin came to do archeology on behalf of the government. The information in their hands is definitely more authoritative than ours. I think it is relatively accurate."
As he said that, he did not forget to flatter Xiaoye. He gave Xiaoye a thumbs up: "Our boss still has the foresight. You didn't allow them to be taken with you before because you thought they were dragging their feet. It was our boss who said you should take them with you." Come on, now it’s obvious that I brought you the right one, otherwise how would we have known the news.”
I said that was not the case. Xiaoye had indeed made great achievements this time. Naturally, the others also praised Xiaoye a few times, making them feel a little embarrassed to praise Xiaoye.
"Then should we collect more information next?" Jianzui asked.
I nodded: "You must use more traps. When you help kill camels later, be more positive and have a better attitude. If that doesn't work, let's go over and eat some camels. By the way, we can give you some water, beef jerky or biscuits. Let's take care of them first." The relationship has eased, let’s talk about the ancient city of Muta."
Zhao Hu looked at me with a smile: "Would this seem too deliberate? We had such a bad attitude towards them before and suddenly we are so nice, will they become suspicious?"
I said that's what I said, and I meant to change my attitude slightly, but it wouldn't be too obvious anyway.
Zhao Hu chuckled: "That's okay. If it doesn't work, I'll just say that I have a crush on Jia Tingting, so my attitude towards them has changed."
"Whatever you say."
At this moment, Professor Qin came over and said, "Comrade Xiao Chen, we are going to kill the camel. Please help and give the camel a shot."
I nodded and said yes, then looked at Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu stood up and picked up the gun from the side: "Old professor, I'm the best at shooting, so let me do it. After the killing is over, how about I cut some meat from the camel's leg and barbecue it?"
"Ah?" Professor Qin was stunned for a moment, and then joked: "Why are you asking for camel meat again? You are not afraid to ask for yours after ours are finished."
"The main reason is that this place is a stone mountain, and there are many dead branches of Populus euphratica at the foot of the mountain. It is a beautiful barbecue place. I feel uncomfortable if I don't bake something."
"Okay, let's bake it together later."
Later, Zhao Hu followed Professor Qin to kill the camel. Because he was afraid that other camels would see him and cause panic, Zhao Hu led the camel far away. When he reached behind a big rock, he shot the camel.
This shot should have been a direct hit to the head, and the camel didn't scream or anything. The other camels were just frightened by the gunshot and their ears stood up, and they quickly regained their composure.
Although the camel was killed, Professor Qin's side were all literati. They didn't even know how to skin, bleed, or extract the meat. Later, Zhao Hu and Jian Zui went to help and treated the camel.
Because I was afraid that the camels would be parasitic when they appeared, I asked Zhao Hu to take quicklime and sprinkle it in a circle around the camel to prevent the camels from getting close.
After taking off part of the meat, we found a place far away from the camel team to prepare the barbecue.
"Aren't you curious about eating camel meat?"
After gathering firewood and lighting the fire, the short-haired girl with the tall nose came over from the camp. When she saw that all our people were present, she said angrily.
