The sun was scorching hot, and the temperature was 43 degrees Celsius.
A young man was carrying a bulging bag on his back and wearing a cap on his head. He was sweating profusely. In front of him were more than a dozen people walking in twos and threes. Everyone's footsteps were very heavy, and the sand under their feet was soft but hot.
The young man felt a little sore in his feet, especially the hateful sand in his shoes. It had tortured him for half an hour. If he hadn't wanted to keep up with his father, he would have stopped and torn the sand into pieces. However, he didn't dare to, because if he stopped, he probably wouldn't want to leave.
No matter what, he had to keep up. This was a rare opportunity. He had begged his parents many times. If it wasn't for Uncle Hua's reluctant nod, he really wouldn't have been able to come. This was the legendary Qin Emperor's tomb.
The young man looked up at the dozen figures in front of him and panted a few times. He lifted his backpack and strided forward. He had already walked for more than ten miles. He did not know how far he still had to go.
" Feng 'er, hurry up. We'll be there in two hours. If you can't walk, you can go back." A bespectacled middle-aged man placed his hands on his knees and turned to look at Wang Feng with a smile.
" Oh." Wang Feng straightened his body and pretended to be full of energy. He walked quickly for ten meters, but his legs still went weak.
F * ck, hanging chains at the critical moment. Wang Feng cursed his legs in his heart. I'll definitely follow you this time. I promised my classmates that I'll go to archaeology with my dad this year. Before leaving, my dad also said that if I can't keep up with their schedule, I'll get that hateful big brother Li Jie to send me back. Hmph, I won't. If he could successfully catch up with his father's team and discover the tomb, hehe, the envious expressions of his classmates made Wang Feng proud. He felt happy and unconsciously quickened his pace.
"Lil Feng, you can't walk anymore?" A tall, dark-skinned boy in his mid-twenties looked at Wang Feng with an evil smile.
" Big Brother Li, I can do it. Don't worry about me." Wang Feng glared at him and quickly walked in front of him." Hmph, this guy doesn't look much older than me. He always acts like an elder in front of me and likes to joke with me. Before we set off, this guy actually said that I'm a little brat and that I can't suffer. Why don't I find that beautiful Xiao Hui to play house with?" At that time, there were many people. Wang Feng's face turned green, then white, and then red.
Speaking of Xiao Hui, Wang Feng felt a little sweet in his heart. She grew up in his courtyard. Xiao Hui was very beautiful and knew how to care for others. They went to school together, after school together, played hide-and-seek together, learned music together, learned painting together, together... For a twelve-year-old like him, the throbbing of puberty, he even promised Xiao Hui that he would bring her some strange gifts from the desert.
" Alright, everyone take a ten-minute break," Wang Feng's father, Wang Zhiyuan, shouted.
Wang Feng fell onto the beach.
" Ah!" Wang Feng jumped up.
" What's wrong, Lil Feng?" Wang Feng's father was shocked. A few people immediately ran over and asked nervously. There were many poisonous insects in the desert. If they were not careful, they would be poisoned. It was very difficult to treat them in this hot weather.
" No, I didn't." Wang Feng's expression was so ugly that he didn't know what to say.
Wang Zhiyuan looked at Wang Feng strangely." Are you alright?"
" I'm fine. It's just that the sand is too hot," Wang Feng said in a weak voice that only he could hear. If he said such an embarrassing thing, he would probably be laughed at, especially by Li Jie.
His weak voice was still understood by everyone." Hahaha, Lil Feng, I knew it. You came to the desert to suffer. Look at your thin arms and legs. Only a little girl has a physique. This desert is something that only adults like us who have experienced hardships can endure." As expected, Li Jie looked like he was gloating.
" Shut up." Wang Feng kicked Li Jie, who quickly dodged.
" Alright, keep your strength up. We'll be there in two hours. Zhang Lan, identify the direction and don't make a mistake," Wang Zhiyuan said to a middle-aged woman who was thin but full of energy.
After adjusting their direction, everyone began their journey.
Wang Feng quickly walked to a woman who had covered herself tightly. This was an ancient god-like woman in the field of archaeology. Wang Feng often heard his father talk about her. Although his father was the leader, he couldn't help but praise this woman. This woman had another name in the field of archaeology, the God of Discoveries. As long as she found an ancient tomb, she could find the entrance of the ancient tomb according to the dynasty, location, stars, and so on. It was extremely magical.
"Aunt Qin, can we really find the Qin Emperor's tomb this time?”，Regarding the Qin Emperor's tomb, Wang Feng was extremely surprised. To be able to discover the Qin Emperor's tomb, he might even be written in history in the future. Then, he, hehe, laughed wildly in his heart.
Aunt Qin glanced at Wang Feng." Mm." She didn't know what expression she had on her face. In any case, she was very tight-lipped. She cared a lot about maintaining her appearance.
"What could be inside the ancient tomb?" Wang Feng asked curiously. Perhaps there were many priceless antiques, terrifying traps, or some terrifying poisonous insects. Anyway, that was how the movies played it.
" I don't know either. It's definitely not ordinary. I guess there's a legendary time machine. Of course, that's just a legend. How could the ancient people make a time machine? Also, the mechanisms are very powerful. It's said that the Qin Emperor placed many hidden weapons and traps inside. When the time comes, don't go down." Aunt Qin's faint laughter made the nervous Wang Feng heave a sigh of relief.
A time machine? Alright, if there really was, could he go to the past and future? It was just a legend. Who knew? Wang Feng was fantasizing about going to ancient times and becoming a tyrant. He could also travel to ancient times to meet the four beauties and get them. Although he knew Auntie Qin was joking, he still wanted to laugh out loud.
" Lil Feng, what are you laughing at?" Auntie Qin knew that he was letting his imagination run wild, but she didn't expect him to be so ridiculous.
"It's nothing. Auntie Qin, do you think we can find it?”，Wang Feng was still not sure if he could find this ancient tomb because he heard that there were ancient tombs of the Qin Emperor in Shaanxi and Gansu. However, in the end, it was confirmed that they were the tombs of some nobles. Until now, the tomb of the Qin Emperor was still a mystery.
" Hmm, that shouldn't be wrong. However, I'm afraid that Desert Bandits will appear or other archeological teams will be ahead of us."
"There are Desert Bandits here?" Wang Feng was shocked. How could bandits appear in this era?
"You don't understand this, Lil Feng. In the desert, there are bandits who specialize in robbing caravans or archaeological teams. The goods of the caravans are more valuable, while the equipment of the archaeological teams are more valuable. If they happen to rob an archaeological team that has discovered a tomb or an ancient treasure, think about it.”，Auntie Qin said with a smile.
Wang Feng's expression was a little ugly. What if they really met?
" Hehe, Lil Feng, don't be afraid. Our archaeological team is highly valued by the country. When we came, we specially approved two security guards and brought a gun with us." Auntie Qin could see Wang Feng's worry and could not help but laugh.
Only then did Wang Feng see that there were only two tall figures in the team that he did not recognize. However, sigh, there was only one gun. One gun might be enough to intimidate the Desert Bandits.
"By the way, Lil Feng, from what your father said, you don't seem to be in good health.”Aunt Qin took a deep breath, took down the water bottle, and gave it to Wang Feng.
Wang Feng opened the lid and took a sip. Water was very precious in the desert.
" Yes, Auntie Qin. I don't know why, but my body is always itchy and my head hurts every two years. I always feel that there's something in my head, but after the doctor checked, he couldn't find anything. However, as long as my life isn't in danger, I'll let it be, hehe," Wang Feng said with a smile.
"This is a strange thing. You really can take it easy. You don't even look like a child anymore."
" Aunty Qin, I'm already 12 years old. I'm not a kid anymore. I'm going to middle school soon," Wang Feng mumbled. However, Aunty Qin was really easy to talk to and was very amiable. He liked Aunty Qin from the bottom of his heart. She was as kind as his mother.
" Hurry up, we're almost there," someone suddenly shouted from the front.
Suddenly, everyone became excited and started running crazily. Wang Feng followed suit. Qin Emperor, oh Qin Emperor, we will soon be able to see your elegant demeanor. There is also that time machine. Wang Feng followed everyone and climbed onto a sand dune, looking forward.
" It's here," Wang Zhiyuan said excitedly. At the same time, he got a few people to check the coordinates with the GPS. Everyone got busy.
" Lil Feng, don't run around. This is the edge of the desert. Quicksand is very likely to appear," Auntie Qin said with a smile.
" Oh, I know." Wang Feng immediately sat down and looked at the desert in front of him. It was really hard to imagine that the Qin Emperor's tomb was below. However, how could he find it in such a huge desert?
Looking at everyone's busy figures, Wang Feng was a little bored. He knew that he could not help, so he ran to the top of another sand dune. Alright, I'll take a desert bath.
He quickly used his hands to dig the sand. The originally hot sand was quickly piled to the side by Wang Feng. After digging for half a meter, Wang Feng suddenly realized that the sand was no longer hot. By the way, she heard from Auntie Qin that sometimes, due to the low temperature in the desert, water would turn into ice.
As expected, Wang Feng continued digging and saw shiny ice cubes. Wow, this ice cube was beautiful. Unfortunately, he couldn't bring it back. Otherwise, he would give it to Xiao Hui to see the ice cubes in the desert.
Just as Wang Feng was about to bury himself in the desert, he suddenly felt something. He looked around and saw that on his right, where he had come from, there was a cloud of dust. What was that? Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be a few figures. Not good, could it be the Desert Bandits?
