By the time the trio from Jiangnan came out of Prince Gumo's tomb, the sun was about to rise.
The three of them did not communicate much. After washing up, the sky was bright.
After a short rest here, everyone headed south again.
They embarked on the journey to find the Ancient City of Jingjue.
At this moment, they had already entered the depths of the Black Desert.
At first glance, no matter which angle he looked at it from, it was an endless, flat desert.
It was the same desolate scene, without any signs of life.
Because of the windy season, the group was forced to stop and set up camp before they could walk far.
At this moment, Jiang Nan and the others were digging sand to build a sand dune barrier to resist the sandstorm.
"Chief Jiang, Old Hu, this wind has been blowing for a day, right?”
"When can we stop? Are we going to be buried here?”
Fatty could not help but complain as he dug hard.
"That depends on Hu Da's decision."
Jiang Nan mimicked An Liman's way of speaking and teased.
"Don't you know divination?"
"Why don't you give us a divination? Even if we do, we still have a few days to reach that broken ancient city.”
"After suffering in the desert every day, I've lost at least ten pounds of weight!”
"What a loss! How many times would he have to eat mutton to make up for it?”
As he spoke, Fatty patted his stomach.
Compared to the first time they met, Fatty's stomach had indeed become smaller!
"Alright, then I'll show you guys my skills!”
"I'll let you see what a true divinatory trigram master is like!”
Old Hu was also looking at him expectantly.
Jiang Nan simply threw down his shovel and did a divination.
Suddenly!
A cry for help came from the wind.
"Help!"
"Someone, come and save me!"
It was Shirley's voice.
"Oh no, something must have happened!"
"Let's go and take a look!"
The three of them looked at each other and hurriedly ran over. Behind them, the archaeological team also hurriedly followed.
With Ye Yixin as the center, the sand sank in like a funnel. Shirley was lying on the side and holding Ye Yixin's hand tightly.
It looked like he had fallen into a quicksand pit.
"Stop! Be careful, this is quicksand!”
Hu Bayi quickly stopped Sa Dipeng and Chu Jian who were rushing forward.
Just as everyone was at a loss, Jiangnan moved.
As if he didn't know how dangerous quicksand was, he casually walked to Shirley's side.
"Chief Jiang! Don't go over there, that's quicksand!"
Hu Bayi couldn't help but exclaim.
"Alright, Old Hu. Quicksand?”
"Before we could rush over, not to mention Ye Yixin, even this silly American girl would have been dragged in!”
"You've been to the desert before. Don't you know how fast quicksand can trap people and how strong the suction force is?”
"Look, the sand nearby has stopped moving.”
Jiang Nan pouted and pointed at Shirley.
However, when everyone looked over, it was just as Jiang Nan had said.
The sand was still!
Old Hu's face turned red. He was a little nervous just now, but he didn't notice such an obvious thing!
"Hold on tight!"
After giving the order, Jiang Nan hugged Shirley's waist and retreated.
As if he was pulling out a radish, he dragged Ye Yixin out of the shirley.
"Who are you calling a silly American girl!"
The moment she came out, Shirley looked at Jiang Nan with an unfriendly expression.
"I'm talking to you! Why don't you think about it?"
"If that thing is really quicksand, it's fine if you can't save her by holding on to her, but you have to sacrifice your life for nothing.”
"If this isn't a silly girl, then what is?"
Jiang Nan snorted and patted the sand off Shirley's body.
"Oh right, it makes sense!”
Shirley was stunned and nodded subconsciously.
"That's why I said you're a silly girl!"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Ye Yixin, who was surrounded by the crowd, blushed slightly and remained silent.
She also realized that if that was really quicksand, she would have been dragging Shirley along with her for nothing.
"Alright, alright. Little Ye, tell me what happened just now.”
Hu Bayi quickly came out and laughed.
"Yes…"
" Yes," Ye Yixin replied and whispered about her experience.
"Oh right, Brother Hu, Brother Jiang, when I was halfway down just now, I seemed to have stepped on a rock!”
Halfway through his sentence, Ye Yixin suddenly reacted and exclaimed.
At the same time, her face turned even redder.
He clearly had a place to settle down and wouldn't sink any further, but he still held onto Sister Yang and refused to let go.
"There's something underground!"
Jiang Nan and Hu Ba looked at each other and said with certainty.
"There shouldn't be any rocks in such a shallow desert, so there must be something buried underground!”
"Judging from our route, the greatest possibility is…"
"It's a stone tomb!"
Shirley's eyes lit up as she interrupted Jiang Nan's words. She remembered the stone tomb recorded in her father's diary.
"That's right. There's a high chance that it's the stone tomb that the expedition team found.”
"It should be the black sandstorm that blew the stone tomb out a few days ago.”
Jiang Nan nodded in relief. It was alright. At least his brain could still think normally.
As he spoke, Jiang Nan stood up and picked up the shovel that the three of them had just thrown down.
He threw them to Old Hu and Fatty.
"Alright, then, let's take advantage of the fact that it's still early to dig?”
The three of them dug for a while with the shovel and found the stone tomb buried underground by the yellow sand.
"Chief Jiang, Old Hu, look, this is a tomb!”
"How many good things are there in here!”
The moment he saw the stone tomb, Fatty could not help but exclaim in a low voice.
"Don't think about it. Look at the traces of the explosion here. This broken stone tomb must have been emptied by someone.”
Jiang Nan shook his head and pointed at the obvious traces of the explosion under his feet.
"Chief Jiang is right. This is a very professional small-scale directional explosion. It should be military-grade TNT.”
Hu Ba nodded and said with certainty.
