Chapter 55 Dangerous Stone City
Stone City was extremely quiet, with no movement of life, only long stretches of yellow sand. After passing through the rocky beach, the true face of Stone City finally appeared in front of everyone. "This was originally a palace?" Crow looked at the majestic gate in front of him.
, under the erosion of time, this place has become dilapidated.
The three of them walked in carefully. This was indeed a palace, and the level was not low. The only strange thing was that there was no one here. It was like an abandoned empty city. Did something happen?
There are many bronze statues here, holding spears in their hands and daggers on their waists. Gin used his own dagger to scratch them, without any trace. Are the bronze statues here made of steel? So hard?!
With sharp eyes, he saw a dagger tied to the leg of a bronze statue. He took out the gin and slashed it on the bronze statue, and a smooth cut appeared.
Gin glanced at the dagger in his hand that was as sharp as clay, and he had to put it away, it was a good thing.
"There are so many gold and silver treasures." The crow's voice came. Gin and Blue Whale heard the sound and went over. There were indeed enough. It must be some kind of warehouse, but these gold and silver jewels were covered by yellow sand. "If this is exposed,
If you go out, you will definitely attract the attention of a group of people." Crow bumped the diamond necklace in his hand, it was genuine.
Unfortunately, none of the three of them were people who valued money. They casually looked through the pile of jewelry and said, "They are all good things." Crow picked some and put some on himself.
Gin sat on the pile of jewelry and looked at the emeralds in his hands. Compared with these, he preferred the dagger that was as sharp as clay. He took a few pieces that he thought were good-looking, but it would be useless if he didn't take them anyway.
Feeling the abnormal flow of air, the three of them raised their heads sharply. Gin was the first to notice the sound of wind coming from outside. He was stunned for a moment, looked at the gold and silver jewelry in front of him that was full of yellow sand, and reacted instantly, "Run!
"
The three people abandoned the gold and silver jewelry without hesitation and ran out. Gin felt the air flow faster and faster, the yellow sand was rising again, and the strong wind almost swept people up into the sky.
The overwhelming yellow sand is rushing towards my face. I can't even open my eyes, but I still have to run out desperately. Just kidding, if I don't run out, I will be buried by the yellow sand.
Stone City was originally supposed to be a palace, but later it was buried by yellow sand for unknown reasons. The people in the city may have escaped because they moved out in time, but because of the rare tornado a few days ago, this buried building was
It took thousands of years for the castle to appear in the eyes of the public. Gin and the others entered without knowing it. If they had not reacted in time and decisively discarded the gold and silver jewelry, they would most likely have been buried in the sand, and in the end their bodies would not have been recovered.
live.
As it happened, they were also buried under the yellow sand. They were not buried deep, just a few centimeters deep. They raised their bodies from the middle of the yellow sand, shook their heads, and shook off the sand on their bodies. They were still standing tall just now.
Stone City has now disappeared under the yellow sand.
"Ci'ao, no wonder there are no traces of human activity there. We first pass through the Desert of Death, and we have to wait for the weather with a huge tornado, and we have to be able to escape. This place deserves no one to care about." The crow plucked at the sand on its body and looked at it.
Looking at the flat desert in front of us, "It was so dangerous, we were almost buried."
Stone City is in the hinterland of the Death Desert. There are very few people who can cross the Death Desert. In addition, after surviving a huge tornado and finally getting out of Stone City safely, the first item has already blocked many people, let alone
It's the back.
"People die for money, and birds die for food." Blue Whale shook the sand off his body, his voice full of ridicule, "If this place is exposed, someone will come over."
"Let's go, we still have to hurry." After they rested for a few minutes, Gin stood up and continued deep into the desert.
"There is actually a village here?" The three of them lay on the sand and looked at the small village not far away with binoculars. The people in it were all wearing clothes woven from leaves and animal skins. It looked like it should be a primitive place isolated from the world.
The village is extremely unfriendly to outsiders.
There are still bones hanging outside the wooden houses, human skulls, animal bones, and animal skins. This is the most primitive cannibal that has not been influenced by any modern ideas. This kind of village is rare now, but it does not mean that it is not possible.
There are also various primitive inhabitants deep in the primitive forests. They are isolated from the world and live a life of drinking hair and blood.
"They have food there." The blue whale observed the environment, "Let's go in and take a look."
They have not had food or water for a while. Although it is acceptable, water is better than no water. With their ability, it is not difficult to escape these primitive residents.
"I'm sorry, in modern society, everyone is a wealthy person." Crow Crow looked at the utensils used by these villagers to drink water, eat and sleep, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"They are all real." Gin picked up the utensils and looked at them and touched them. Without exception, they were all antiques, but they were of different ages. "At least they were hundreds of years ago."
"Really wealthy." These antiques are not the focus of their attention. The focus is on the scarcest thing in the desert - water.
Using the water stored by these primitive residents, a few people were able to quench their thirst. They secretly took some water and food, and the three thieves left the village.
"At our speed, if nothing happens, we will be able to leave the Sea of Death in about three days." The blue whale squinted and glanced at the sun. There was no cover, so it could only bask in the sun.
"If you want to leave the desert, it takes at least ten days. You have to travel day and night without any accidents." Crow added silently, this desert is really damn big, and they don't have any means of transportation, so they have to rely on two legs.
"It will be easier to find means of transportation after leaving the Sea of Death." Three tiny figures shuttled through the vast desert. They found a place to rest during the hottest time at noon, and found a place to rest during the coldest time in the middle of the night. They crawled out of the quicksand.
Fleeing among the rats.
"It is truly the sea of death." The crow lay on the ground panting heavily and almost fed the mouse. One mouse is not scary, ten mice are not scary, and one hundred is acceptable, but what about a thousand?
?What about ten thousand? What about the overwhelming rats?
"Those rats are everywhere, but they don't dare to break in here. There must be something scarier than rats here." Blue Whale dealt with the wounds on his body that were bitten by rats.
"Thank you for telling me such good news." The crow rolled his eyes. Of course he knew, but could you please let him take a breath first? The overwhelming rats were coming in such a dense manner that he suffered from trypophobia. He would be in trouble for the rest of his life.
I don't want to see mice anymore.
"What is that?" Gin raised his head and looked at a small black dot in the distance. The crow and the blue whale jumped up and looked at the sand dunes in the distance with binoculars.
A small black spot gradually became larger, wider, and clearer, "Ant?!"
Yes, they are just ants the size of a small fingernail, but if millions of them move together, it will definitely be a quite shocking scene, provided that they are not walking towards you.
"Why are there ants in the desert?!" Crow's scalp was numb. He had seen scenes of ants eating people. Hundreds of ants crawled on people's bodies and entered people's bodies through their mouths, noses and ears. The feeling was unbearable just thinking about it.
Feeling that life is worse than death, breaking into an ant nest is definitely a disaster.
There are ant nests in front, rat swarms in the back, and moving quicksand pits. It’s such a bad time. No wonder this place is called the Sea of Death.
"Go and hide in that village." Seeing that the ant army was coming, Gin and the three of them had no choice but to evacuate. They really couldn't defeat it. In some cases, the human sea tactic is a very useful tactic, such as now.
So what if you are the best in the world? Do you dare to resist? Can you withstand it?
The three of them had just become thieves and hid in the primitive village again. The residents here seemed to have noticed someone breaking in. They were indignantly saying something they couldn't understand, mumbling, although they didn't know what they were talking about.
What, but it is definitely not a good word.
Immediately, someone ran over with a bone spear, pointed it outside, and chirped angrily. Then the man who was obviously the leader turned his face, waved his hand, and chirped.
It is really painful to have a language barrier. Even if Gin can speak many small languages, there is really nothing that can be done about the language of this primitive village. The language of each primitive village is different, and they do not have systematic written and written records.
, and are extremely hostile to outsiders, unable to communicate at all.
But it can still be roughly guessed, after all, Gin and the others were just forced to hide in this small village again.
The people in the village seemed to be used to this kind of situation. Although they were in a hurry, they were methodical. Everyone held a bucket in their hands and spread the dark green unknown liquid in the bucket around the village, and then poured out the remaining liquid.
Apply the liquid on your body.
The three people hiding in the corner looked at each other and dispersed in unison. Half an hour later, everyone was covered in that dark green unknown liquid.
I won't say whether it has any effect, but the smell is really unpleasant. How can I put it, it's like rolling in a manure pit.
The water resources here are extremely scarce, so these primitive residents may not take a bath in their entire lives, or they may wash once when they are born and never wash again for the rest of their lives. In short, they are used to the smell and don't think it's anything.
