At first I thought the sound was coming from the wooden tower, but when I realized it was coming from all around, my heart skipped a beat.
I immediately took out my flashlight and looked around. It didn't matter if I didn't, I would be shocked if I did.
On the surrounding sand, many things were digging out from under the sand surface. The sound we heard was made by them pulling away the sand with their hands.
Immediately afterwards, someone emerged from the sand. I thought that what came out would be some bones or something, but I didn't expect that they were all people whose skin and flesh were still alive.
These people were wearing ancient costumes. Some looked like the costumes of the Tang Dynasty or Sui Dynasty, and some were Turkic ones that looked wilder. After they emerged from the soil, they did not come towards us. , but walked towards the wooden pagoda in despair, feeling as if he was attracted by the sound of chanting sutras in the wooden pagoda.
Naturally, I realized that these must be ordinary people from the ancient city of Muta.
Zhao Hu hit me with his arm and indicated with his eyes what to do next. I pointed in the direction of our base camp, meaning to go back first.
Then, we tiptoed towards the outside of the city, walking very carefully. When someone came towards us, we would avoid them early and hide to the side.
I originally thought that it would not be easy for us to go out, and there would be some fierce fights or something, but what surprised me was that the whole process we walked out of the ancient city was peaceful and nothing happened.
When we walked outside, no one emerged from the sand, and we were relieved.
"Damn it, I think that bitch is trying to trick us. He just wants us to die in there, right?"
Zhao Hu cursed angrily. He thought that the scarred man must have known that this would happen at night and deliberately concealed it.
But I think this possibility is unlikely. I said: "He has been here for several days. If he knew that it would be like this at night, he would have been so scared that he would have run away and killed the three of us. There is no good for him, if we die, others will definitely kill him."
"That means that he didn't touch it, but we all did?"
I smiled bitterly: "Yeah, I think that's the case. Let's be careful. We can encounter this thing wherever we go. To be honest, I'm not as panicked this time as I was before."
Xiao Zhuai also said: "I don't panic anymore. It feels like it's a normal thing. I'm used to it."
"Then what should we do now? Are we still taking risks?" Zhao Hu asked.
The little braid thought that Zhao Hu had given up, so he even dismissed Zhao Hu: "Hey, you just asked me where my adventurous spirit was, and now I'm scared? You want me to say that we can't be scared? You have to go in and fight with them and dismantle the tower directly for him. Maybe the tower is full of treasures, and those few boxes of Buddha statues may..."
"Go, go, go, when did I give up? I just wanted to ask Jianjun about his next plan. Come on, why didn't you say you wanted to go in? Let's go in now."
Saying that, Zhao Hu pulled his pigtails and was about to go back: "Whoever is a coward today will be my grandson."
The pigtail was immediately frightened, and he shook off Zhao Hu's hand: "Are you fucking sick? If you go in here, you will die. I haven't married Xiao Ye yet, so I won't die with you."
"You're such a jerk, it would be crazy for Ren Xiaoye to marry you."
I smiled and asked the two of them to stop bickering and go back and tell the others about the situation. Leave as soon as possible if you can. Otherwise, all the dead people in the city will come out to hunt us down, which will cause trouble.
Zhao Hu also said that he shouldn't be chasing him, otherwise he would have taken action earlier when he was so close. I guess who can say for sure?
Back at the base camp, the scarred man was still awake, and the rock man who was watching over him seemed to be asleep, and he was snoring while lying there.
Seeing the three of us coming, the scarred man said jokingly: "It's a good thing I didn't have the idea of escape, otherwise he would not be able to look at me if he looked at me like this."
Zhao Hu was a little angry. He cursed and kicked Rock Man in the waist. Rock Man was woken up by the kick. He sat up and yelled. When he saw it was us, he was a little confused: " What are you doing? Why are you kicking me?"
"You still have the fucking nerve to ask, should I let you watch people here or let you sleep?" Zhao Hu asked.
Only then did the rock man react, and then he scratched his head and pretended to be confused: "Why did I fall asleep? I didn't doze off just now."
"You have to be so damn good yourself, and you have to help that little vixen look after people. Just look at people. Why don't you look good? If this guy runs away, can you afford this responsibility?"
Saying that, Zhao Hu kicked the rock man a few more times. I could also feel that Zhao Hu kicked him with some personal emotions. He had already thought of this tone in his heart.
The rock man looked very unhappy after being kicked a few times, but he didn't dare to say anything. On the one hand, he couldn't beat Zhao Hu. If he dared to say anything, he would definitely get a more severe beating. On the other hand, he did fall asleep. His mistake was First.
Everyone else was also woken up by Zhao Hu's yelling and cursing. Sister Yuan knew that the scarred man was asleep and scolded him a few times, and then asked me what was going on in the ancient city.
I asked them if they heard the chanting just now, and they all said they didn't. Then I called everyone together and told them about the situation in the ancient city.
The people in our tomb robbery team all believed it after listening to it, but the short-haired girl actually thought I was deceiving.
She said: "What you said is too false. The ancient city has been buried for many years. How can those bones still come back to life, and there are still flesh and skin? Besides, didn't they hurt you?"
"You don't believe it, do you? If you don't believe it, I'll take you over there to have a look." I said angrily, and then urged everyone to pack their things quickly, we have to leave here.
"I just fell asleep for a while and I'm so sleepy. Can't you let me have a good sleep?" The short-haired woman still complained.
"I've really had enough of you, woman." Zhao Hu couldn't help scolding: "Isn't it for your own good to let you go? You want to die, right? Then you can continue to sleep here. Really, it's not like I haven't seen you before. You’ve been to evil things, and now you actually think we’re fooling you, and we don’t want to have a good night’s sleep at this damn night?”
The short-haired girl was probably afraid that we would leave her here alone, so she didn't say anything at this time.
I waved my hand to signal others to stop being stunned and pack their things quickly.
While I was packing my things, Xiaoye came over and asked me, "As soon as we leave, do we not plan to come back?"
I nodded: "Well, it's been confirmed that there are ghosts inside, and your dad and my brother are not inside. Why should we take the risk? We can go to other places to explore the temple after we get out of the desert."
"Are we going to leave overnight tonight?"
I said that was not necessary. We could walk to the two halves of the mountain tonight and start again tomorrow.
As I was talking, I suddenly heard another sound of chanting sutras. This sound of chanting sutras did not come from the ancient city in the west, but seemed to come from inside my body.
I also looked towards the ancient city, and there was indeed no sound coming from there.
Others seemed to have heard it, and they all asked where the sound of chanting was coming from. After asking, their eyes fell on me.
