"Comrade Xiao Xu, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid that all of us weak archaeologists would have died here.”
Professor Chen suddenly said as they walked through the dark passageway with their flashlights.
"Professor Chen, you're welcome. Since I'm employed by you, I'll definitely protect your safety.”Wishing said with a smile.
At the same time, he was smart enough to hear Wang Kaixuan muttering in a low voice,"Why didn't you thank me?"
"No matter what, I still have to thank you, Comrade Xu.”Professor Chen said," By the way, I also want to thank Comrade Xiao Hu and Comrade Xiao Wang. The two of you have helped us a lot along the way.”
"You're welcome." Wang Kaixuan laughed when he heard this, looking as if he did not need to be polite.
Hu Bayi, who also heard Wang Kaixuan's muttering, glanced at him speechlessly and said,""Professor Chen, you're welcome. Let's hurry up.”
"Hehe, I was too vulgar. Then let's hurry up.”Professor Chen smiled.
"Everyone, hurry up. A snowstorm is coming soon.”
After everyone quickened their pace, they quickly left the passage and arrived at the bottom of the glacier crack. Hu Bayi looked at the sky that had already darkened a lot and urged everyone.
Under the urging of the howling wind, everyone quickly fastened their safety buckle and climbed up the rope.
"It's an avalanche, run!"
Wish was the last to climb up the glacier, but as soon as he got up, he saw the glacier beside the crack swaying under the raging snowstorm. He hurriedly called everyone to run for their lives.
Just as they were less than a hundred meters away, there was a loud bang. The snow mountain behind them could not bear the weight. Large pieces of ice mixed with snow collapsed and buried the crack.
Fortunately, the wish reminded them early. Everyone ran to a relatively safe position early and was not affected.
After walking for more than half a day, they finally met up with the people who had come to receive them. After resting in the military depot for a few days, the group could not wait to set off for the XJ Taklama Desert.
According to Shirley Yang's father's diary, the only way to find the Ancient City of Jingjue was to enter the desert during the windy season.
Coincidentally, it was the windy season now.
In less than two months, the wind season would end. If they missed this season, they would have to wait until next year to make plans.
Shirley Yang and Professor Chen weren't the only ones who didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Wishing didn't want to delay the completion of the mission until next year.
On the vast grassland, a green truck was driving on the road.
This section of the road was full of potholes and it was not easy to walk. In addition, the back of the big truck was really not comfortable.
The journey was bumpy, and the delicate archaeologists could not bear it anymore. They leaned against the shed and fell asleep.
Wishing held the Dragon Spring Sword in his arms and closed his eyes to rest. Hu Bayi kept looking at the vast grassland, thinking about something. As for Wang Kaixuan, he had long fallen asleep like the archaeological team.
" Mr. Hu, according to my previous plan with Professor Chen, we plan to set off from Bosten Lake..." Shirley Yang took a map and walked to Hu Bayi to explain the route to the desert, but Hu Bayi did not answer." Mr. Hu, we are going to enter the desert next. We have to talk."”
"If you must enter the desert, my suggestion is to find a guide who is familiar with the desert. Sometimes, experience is more important than professionalism.”
Hu Bayi glanced at the archeological team who had woken up and said,""I still have to ask everyone here. Everyone saw the danger of the Kunlun Glacier before. This time, it will definitely be even more dangerous to enter the desert, so those who want to go home will still have time.”
In fact, Hu Bayi had also wished to say this. In the original movie, the archeologists were either dead, injured, or crazy, so they would not go in if they could.
However, the archeological team did not back down. They insisted on entering the desert. Hao Aiguo even took the initiative to talk about the idea of division of labor.
Since he couldn't persuade the archeological team, he could only forget about it.
After half a day, they arrived at their destination.
There was no danger in looking for a guide, so Wishing did not follow Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
If he had the time, he might as well take a bubble bath.
After all, after entering the desert, not to mention taking a bath, even drinking water had to be carefully calculated.
"Hey, Old Hu, let me tell you, along the way, I have to keep an eye on that old man. Who knows what he might do?”
At night, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan came back when they were taking a bath in the bathhouse after wishing for martial arts practice. They heard Wang Kaixuan's cursing from afar.
"Yo, little brother, you're here too? I was wondering why I didn't see you when I went back.”Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan walked into the bathhouse, half-naked.
"Hey, little brother, you even have a tattoo on your body?”As soon as Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan entered the bathhouse, they saw the golden dragon tattoo on Wishing's body.
"What's so strange about that?" Wishing asked.
" That's true." Wang Kaixuan nodded." Brother, which artist did you get this tattoo from? Tell me about it. I'll get one someday."”
"If you have a dragon tattoo, I should at least have a white tiger tattoo or something, right?”
"Old Hu, why don't you tattoo…an old bull?”
Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but come forward and observe carefully. He clicked his tongue in wonder.
However…Old Bull?
Was this human language? The old bull was at his waist?
Hu Bayi's face darkened. He slapped Wang Kaixuan in annoyance.
Besides, Hu Bayi was a former soldier, after all. He didn't discriminate against tattooed people.
However, he was not used to getting his own tattoo.
"What, did you find a guide?”
Wishing smiled and did not reply. After all, where could he find a system tattoo for them?
" Yes, the old man is called Anliman by the locals. It means a living map of the desert in Uighur, but..."
Hu Bayi frowned." But this old man's character isn't that good. I heard that he left her in the desert and ran back on his own!"”
"Character is secondary. As long as this old man is professional enough, it's fine.”
"Compared to something as illusory as character, as long as his ability is strong enough, it won't be a problem."
Besides, there are so many of us. Let's not talk about the archeological team for now. Just the three of us can take turns to watch the old man die.”
"That's right. Old Hu, little brother, let me tell you. Leave this old man to me for this desert trip.”
Fatty waved his hand and said firmly," I won't do anything else. I'll just stare at him."”
"Alright, Fatty, Old Hu and I can rest assured that you'll handle the matter.”Wishing said with a smile.
Although Fatty was a person who had a lot of problems with small matters, he had never pulled his hips when it came to big matters.
