In a small town in the desert.
The archeological team arrived.
Shirley Yang had also sent a large number of supplies from the Lighthouse Country. There were a large number of compressed food, tents, sleeping bags, dust-proof glasses, headscarves, and firearms.
This town was the closest to Bosten Lake.
Hu Bayi found a few locals and asked them if they were familiar with the desert geography and wanted to hire him as a guide.
"Ah, you want to enter the desert at this time?”The local asked in surprise when he heard that they wanted to enter the desert.
"Yeah, is there a problem?" Hu Bayi was puzzled.
"No, this is the windy season. No one dares to enter the desert during this season.”
"Fellow villager, we are from the national archaeological team. We have a mission to enter the desert. We need a guide.”
"Hey, you foreigners just don't listen to advice. If you really want to go in, you can only look for An Liman. We only have An Liman here who dares to enter the desert during the windy season.”
Under the recommendation of the fellow villager, the archeological team came to the place where An Liman lived.
No one remembered his real name anymore. Everyone called him 'Anliman', which meant' the living map of the desert.'
Old man An Liman held a pipe in his mouth and shook his head."No, it's windy season now. If we enter the desert, Elder Hu will blame us!”
"Brother, please make an exception. We're from the national archaeological team. We're here for an important mission.”Professor Chen stood up and showed him the relevant documents.
However, An Liman still shook his head and refused to do it no matter what.
Finally, Shirley Yang walked out.
"An Liman, as long as you are our guide, I will pay double the price for all the livestock here. As long as you come back from the desert, these camels are still yours, and the money is also yours!”
An Liman hesitated for a moment, but he eventually agreed. He knelt on the ground and faced the western sky as he chanted a strange scripture.
"Old man, what are you doing?”Fatty Wang walked over and asked him in confusion.
An Liman glanced at him." I'm begging for Hu Da's forgiveness. As for you guys, you'll be blamed by Hu Da if you enter the desert during the windy season."”
"Hey! What was this nonsense? Was he as powerful as Guan Yin Bodhisattva?”Fatty giggled and asked indifferently.
An Liman's face sank, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore.
"Fatty!"
Hu Bayi said helplessly.
Thus, everyone placed the supplies on the camels.
An Liman also brought a large amount of bean cakes and salt. Fatty Wang helped him move the supplies and asked in confusion,"Old man, is this what we eat in the desert?”
"Well, you can eat it if you want. However, Elder Hu thinks that it's better to leave these bean cakes and salt for the camels!”
Hu Bayi and Chu Jian laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Fatty Wang was a little embarrassed and could not help but say angrily.
……
The supplies they brought this time could last them in the desert for about a month. There was less water, only about ten days. However, they could replenish some water resources in the oasis and underground river on the way.
After everything was ready, everyone got on their camels and set off.
The first part of the journey was planned to start southwest from Bosten Lake and walk west along the Peacock River until they found the ancient river channel to the south.
When they arrived at the desert, everyone realized that it was not so easy to walk.
In the desert, there was yellow sand everywhere, and it was impossible to tell the exact direction.
There was also the scorching sun in the sky that kept roasting the ground. Everyone was so drowsy from the sun that their mouths were dry. They almost could not help but fall off their camels.
At this time, An Liman's role was shown. He could always determine the direction of the Peacock River based on the poplar shrubs on the ground.
In this section of the ancient Peacock River, some of the riverbeds had not dried up yet. There were countless small fishes scattered around, and there were also a group of red-headed gulls on the shore.
The archeological team walked in the southwest direction.
Soon, they arrived at the Black Desert.
According to Old Man An Liman, there were a lot of cities and treasures buried in the Black Desert. However, as long as you tried to bring the treasures out, you would immediately meet with misfortune. This was a desert cursed by Hu Da!
"Tsk! What's so great about Hu Dayou? I'm not afraid of him. When I find the treasure, I'll bring it out and see what Hu Dayou can do to me.”Fatty Wang pouted and muttered.
"Fatty, what are you mumbling about?”
Hu Bayi asked Fatty Wang suspiciously.
"Ah…Nothing…"
Chen Cang, who was at the side, revealed a smile.
He was a Peak Rank-1 martial artist now, and his hearing was amazing. Naturally, he heard what Fatty said.
Along the way, he had been observing.
Ye Yixin left a mark on the ground as usual, secretly guiding the Wang family.
Ever since they returned from Chang 'an, Ye Yixin had been talking to Chen Cang, eavesdropping and asking about what happened to him in the Nine-story Demon Building.
Chen Cang felt that it was a little funny. This motive was too obvious.
It seemed that the Wang family's goal was really the things in the nine-story Demon Tower.
However, he did not know if they wanted to take the Azure Dragon Armor and the Dragoncry Sword, or the jade pearl.
There was a high chance that it was still the Azure Dragon Armor and the Dragoncry Sword.
Although the jade pearl was precious, it was still far inferior to these two treasures.
Chen Cang had seen it with his golden eyes.
The Azure Dragon Armor was made from the scales of the Azure Dragon.
Its defense was astonishing!
There was also the Dragoncry Sword, which was one of the top ten famous swords in ancient times!
It had another name.
Seven Star Dragon Abyss!
It was ranked fifth among the top ten famous swords in ancient times!
It was said that looking down at the sword was like climbing a mountain and looking down at the abyss. It was ethereal and deep, as if there was a huge dragon lying on it. It was called Dragon Abyss!
After the Seven-star Dragon Abyss Sword bloomed with its brilliance, it quickly disappeared from the world. Everyone thought that this sword had been lost and buried in some unknown place.
He had never thought that it would actually appear in the nine-story Demon Edifice and be trapped for more than two thousand years…
