Old Hu, Fatty, and An Liman followed Xu Lang's finger and saw a broken city wall behind the tall sand mountain.
Behind the city wall, the remains of fortresses, rooms, and pagodas could be vaguely seen.
It was the ruins of an ancient city.
Thousands of years ago, the desert here was once part of the Silk Road, with oases and cities everywhere.
However, as time passed, they were all submerged under the yellow sand.
It was definitely a blessing from the heavens for everyone to be able to encounter an ancient city ruin in the sandstorm.
Soon, everyone quickly entered the ruins.
The sandstorm was not over yet.
An Liman had no choice but to let the camels lie under the city wall. The others entered the ancient city and found a hole in the roof of a large room. They hid inside the house to avoid the sandstorm.
The area of the house was not small, but more than half of the ground had been buried by the yellow sand. The yellow sand was less than two meters away from the roof.
Everyone finally settled down.
Everyone's face was pale with fright, and they all sighed that they had survived.
An Liman knelt on the ground again and kowtowed in the direction where the white camel had disappeared.
"Thank you, Hu Da. Thank you for sending the auspicious white camel to guide us to the shelter.”
"Looks like everyone in our team is someone that Hu Da likes.”
After An Liman finished speaking, he looked at Xu Lang and reached out to hold his hands.
"From now on, we'll be blood brothers.”
Xu Lang's mouth twitched. He thought to himself that the difference in seniority was a little too big…
Hu Payi's expression turned even uglier.
The seniority in the team was completely messed up.
An Liman saw the white camel's affection and taming toward Xu Lang, and he thought that Xu Lang was blessed by the gods, so he came up to get close to him.
In the end, he had forgotten that he had just said that he was friends with someone else. In Xu Lang's case, they were brothers.
Fatty Wang muttered.
Only Xue Li Yang was looking at Xu Lang with her big eyes. She was extremely curious.
It was not easy for a seven-year-old child to remain calm in a sandstorm.
Xu Lang rode on a white camel and led everyone to the shelter.
To Xue Li Yang, this was a miracle.
……
The sandstorm continued, and the wind howled.
Old Hu and Fatty immediately gathered everyone.
Professor Chen, Hao Aiguo, and Ye Yixin were resting in the innermost part of the room.
The two male students Sa Dipeng, Chu Jian, and Fatty Wang took turns guarding the entrance of the cave to prevent the sand from burying the hole in the roof and suffocating everyone.
Old Hu, Shirley, and Yang Anli started a fire in the room. They were preparing to make tea and warm up the dry food for everyone to replenish their strength.
After the incident with the white camel, Hu Payi no longer mentioned sending Xu Lang back.
Xu Lang had saved her life, so it would be a little embarrassing to use force.
In addition, everyone had already arrived in the desert. They did not have extra manpower, resources, or time to send Xu Lang back. They could only bring Xu Lang along.
The entire team had accepted Xu Lang's existence.
Everyone relaxed, except for Xu Lang.
He knew that it wasn't safe to stay in the dilapidated house in the ancient city ruins.
Although Xu Lang's attributes had been strengthened, his starting point was too low. His strength and stamina were still very weak.
There were too few ways to deal with danger.
Previously, after receiving the White Camel's blessing, Xu Lang had obtained 100 luck points.
Xu Lang quickly checked the system store.
In the end, his gaze fell on a weapon.
A string of hand crossbows.
The exchange price for this repeating crossbow was 100 luck points.
It was a masterpiece meticulously crafted by Senior Honeycomb Mountain.
It could fire nineteen rapid crossbows, and its power was shocking at short distances, comparable to a pistol.
The firing speed was also quite exaggerated.
The price of the subsequent crossbows was also very reasonable. One point of luck value could directly fill the crossbow box.
For a seven-year-old child, it was too difficult to fight head-on.
Xu Lang's style was to shoot arrows in the dark.
Xu Lang quickly exchanged for the Rapid Crossbow and hid it in his coat pocket.
As the fire rose, the room instantly lit up.
At this moment, Ye Yixin, who was hiding in the innermost part of the room, screamed.
The others were immediately attracted over.
Ye Yixin was so scared that her face turned pale. In addition, she had consumed a lot of physical strength in the sandstorm, so she could not even speak clearly.
He pointed at the shadow in the corner of the room.
"There's a corpse there."
When the others heard this, they all came over to check.
In the corner of the room, a figure leaned against the wall. It was a skeleton.
The clothes and flesh on his body had long disappeared, leaving only bare bones.
The people in the room were either archaeology students or gold-looting officers. They were all used to seeing corpses. After the initial shock, no one was afraid anymore.
Xu Lang hid behind Xue Li Yang, pretending to be afraid, but his eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Let's just bury this skeleton and let it rest in peace. It's quite pitiful for this person to die here.”Shirley Yang suggested after examining the corpse.
Hupa nodded in agreement. Although no one present was afraid of Skeleton, it was still a little awkward to have a dead person in the room.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.
Old Hu and Fatty Wang took a shovel and started digging a hole beside the bones.
After digging a few times, the shovel made a ding sound. Clearly, it had touched something.
