It was a desert, and all they could see was a black city made of rocks with broken walls.
Due to the long years of sandstorms, Hei Cheng had been buried in the desert.
"Brother Amman, is this the place you came to before?”
Professor Chen asked.
Amman looked around and found the stone house from before. Although the stone house was still there, it had been blown into a mess by the sandstorm.
"Yes, it's this place. But after so many years, I don't know if there's still water in the ancient well.”
Amman said uncertainly.
Everyone's mouths were dry. The remaining water left by the archaeological team had been drunk by everyone. If they did not drink water soon, they might not be able to survive the night.
"An Liman, are you saying that the ancient well is in the stone house?”
Old Hu stepped forward and confirmed.
An Liman nodded.
"There is indeed an ancient well."
"Fatty, the two of us will go take a look first. We'll call everyone when we find the ancient well.”
Old Hu instructed Fatty Wang.
"Alright, if this stone house doesn't have an ancient well, I, Fatty, will definitely slaughter this house.”
Fatty Wang picked up the gun in his hand and walked into the stone house with Old Hu.
"You guys be careful. If something's wrong, run!”
Jiang Chen ordered them.
Fatty Wang patted his chest." Brother Jiang Chen, don't worry. Old Hu and I have been in the army before. We can run."”
As they spoke, the two of them cautiously entered the stone house.
Professor Chen looked at the stone house and sighed." I hope there's still water in this stone house. Otherwise, we'll really have to kill the camels."”
"Professor Chen, please don't kill the camel. This camel is my lifeblood.”
An Li was anxious.
If he killed these camels, it would be worse than killing himself.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a gunshot came from the stone house, and everyone was shocked.
He was stunned and stood rooted to the ground, not knowing what had happened inside.
Then,
Fatty Wang panted as he ran out of the room in a panic. He pointed in the direction of the stone house with a nervous expression, as if he was frightened by something.
"There's…there's…"
Fatty Wang was so scared that he was speechless.
Professor Chen was a little anxious.
"Comrade Little Wang, what's going on inside? Hurry up and tell me. I'm almost dying of anxiety."”
At this moment,
Old Hu walked out of the stone house. Jiang Chen immediately understood what was going on.
Old Hu walked over and patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder.
"Alright, stop teasing everyone."
Fatty Wang chuckled.
"There really is a well in the stone house, and there really is water in the well.”
"Then what was that gunshot just now?”
Professor Chen asked in confusion.
Old Hu snorted and explained,"Just now, there was a rabbit in this stone house. It scared Fatty and he hurriedly fired a shot.”
Fatty Wang quickly explained," What do you mean by scared me? I was just trying to improve everyone's food. I, Fatty Wang, will be staying in the army for a while."”
"Alright, everyone go in and fill your water bottles. It seems that we have to spend the night in this ancient city.”
Old Hu said.
"I hope we don't encounter any desert army ants tonight.”
Fatty Wang was truly afraid.
The Desert Army Ants were so dense that a person would be eaten up in a few seconds.
A person as fat as him would become the first choice of the desert army ants.
He didn't get to eat the mutton, but it was eaten by the Desert Army Ants. Wasn't this the end of the world?
Everyone finally drank enough water and even filled the kettle from the ancient well.
Because there was enough water, Xue Liyang even set up a pot and started cooking vegetables.
To be able to eat a bowl of vegetable soup in the desert was simply a delicacy. Everyone had already swallowed countless mouthfuls of saliva when they smelled the soup.
Jiang Chen looked up at the stars in the sky and was stunned.
The Big Dipper Star was in the center, surrounded by the other six stars. The Crape Myrtle Star was especially bright, and its position was actually the ancient well in the stone house.
"Looks like there's a big tomb here."
Jiang Chen said.
" What? There's a tomb?"
Fatty Wang quivered and jumped up from the ground.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Old Hu also looked up at the stars in the sky. It didn't matter if he didn't look at them, but when he did, his expression changed drastically.
"This place is a treasure trove of Feng Shui. The tomb of a royal family is probably buried in this terrain, and the eye of Feng Shui is actually that ancient well.”
Professor Chen couldn't stay calm anymore.
The archeological team drank some water and recovered some strength. When they heard that there was a tomb, they rubbed their fists.
"We are now in the territory of the 36 countries of the Western Region. This tomb must belong to one of them." Professor Chen said faintly.”
"And this place is very close to Ancient Loulan. I believe that this tomb must be inextricably linked to Ancient Loulan.”
"Teacher, why don't we go down and take a look? I have a feeling that there might be clues to Ancient Loulan down there.”
Cuijian said with excitement.
Professor Chen pondered for a moment and decided that everyone else would enter the well to open the tomb except for Ye Yixin.
Fatty Wang placed a rope into the ancient well.
Jiang Chen grabbed the rope and jumped down. For Jiang Chen, who had night vision and the bloodline of the Divine Dragon, this height was nothing.
Then, Professor Chen and the others climbed down one by one.
They saw that the space below was very large. In the middle was a spring, and the surroundings were concave. If they didn't come down, they wouldn't have realized that this place was so big.
"The wisdom of the ancients is really great. Who would have thought that they could build a tomb in an ancient well?”
"This tomb must be the most well-preserved tomb. Today, our archaeological team can finally walk to the front line of tomb robbing.”
Professor Chen sighed.
He had been an archeologist for so many years, but this was the first time he had come to such a complete tomb chamber. In the past, they would only discover it after the grave robbers had stolen the large tomb chamber.
It felt like eating leftovers.
"Look, there's a door over there.”
