Chapter 59 Blood Basin

After everyone woke up, we ate some food. I whispered to my second uncle next to me: "Uncle II, what are you going to do next?"

The second uncle took a bite of dry food and said, "Since it's all here, I have to figure out many things. I want to see what is the deepest part of this bloody sand? Is there the legendary spring of life?"

I looked at the people in front of me. Everyone had their own goals that they had not achieved yet. Although I did not have a strong desire to enter, I could not leave, nor could I leave! Every time I had this kind of involuntary feeling, was it really destined to be!

The second uncle got up and patted the food residue on his hand, "Okay, I have to go and see the situation at the Tang family camp. Sometimes I have to rely on them to guide the direction. The information in their hands is relatively complete."

I also quickly stood up, "I'll go with you."

The second uncle looked at me, "Okay!"

We carefully climbed over several dunes and found the place where the Tang family camped yesterday. But when we looked quietly from the dunes, we were surprised to find that the place where the camp was originally empty, with only some traces left on the ground, which made us know that what we saw yesterday was not an illusion.

The second uncle frowned, "Oh no! I didn't expect that they had already set out." Then he murmured to himself, "Md is careless! Could it be that they found our traces?"

I asked my second uncle what to do?

Uncle Er stood up suddenly and walked down the sand dune quickly. I quickly followed. We were standing at the place where Tang family camped yesterday. I checked around and posted that there was nothing valuable here except for some traces of charcoal fire and some blurred footprints.

The second uncle squatted down and looked at the messy footprints on the ground carefully, touched the charcoal ash on the ground, and then pulled me up, "Hurry up! Go back quickly! Let's set off right away!"

We hurried back to our camp and told others about the situation, so everyone started to organize their equipment in great enthusiasm.

During this period, I also asked Dawuti, if we lost the trace of the Tang family team, could he take us to find the expected location, or rather, find the Ancient King of Shanhuan? After all, the information we have not been fully informed, and Dawuti is the only guide who has been to the deepest part of the desert, and it is also the closest place to our destination.

Dawuti hesitated for a long time before telling me that he had never been to the places we marked on the map, so he could not guarantee that he would be able to find what we were talking about. Whether it could be successful depends on the will of heaven. He could only use his experience and memory to ensure that we were safe in the process of searching.

I was actually a little disappointed, but I can't blame him. It's good to be able to do this. After all, he is just a guide and is not a professional fighter. At least it seems that way at the moment.

We packed up our things and were about to set off but found a problem. We all came through the mysterious ancient well, so the camel and some equipment were left at the other end of the ancient well, but I didn't expect that the second uncle didn't have the camel either. I wondered, "Uncle II, where are you camels, don't tell me that you came in!"

The second uncle blushed, "I originally had it, but later, I got lost... lost!"

I saw that the expression of the second uncle was a little wrong, so I became even more curious, "Uncle II, can't you not eat enough, kill the camel, right?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Dawuti immediately cast a sharp look. For them, camels are their best friends in the desert, and killing camels is absolutely not allowed or accepted.

The second uncle quickly smiled at Dawuti in embarrassment, and then glared at me fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense, kid! I killed the camel myself, unless I don't want to go out!"

"Then what are you doing?" I asked to the end with a broken casserole, and would not give up until I achieved my goal. "Camels will not usually get lost by themselves."

The second uncle looked at me helplessly, "You kid deliberately couldn't get along with me, right? Okay, okay, I'll tell you!" As he said that, the second uncle waved to me, and I walked over, and he whispered in my ear: "I'll tell you, don't tell others!"

I patted my chest, "Don't worry!"

Uncle Second sighed and said, "When I entered the desert, I was in a hurry and couldn't find a suitable camel. I only found a female camel that had just finished her baby. Later, " Uncle Second secretly looked at the others around me and continued, "After entering the depths of the desert, I found that I didn't have much water, so," said this, Uncle Second was a little hesitant.

I urged, "So what's wrong? Tell me quickly."

The second uncle coughed dryly and whispered: "So I remembered that this female camel who had just finished her baby should have milk. I wanted to squeeze some camel milk to drink, and then I climbed under the camel and pinched it, that, what," said Uncle Er glanced at both sides intentionally or unintentionally. I turned around and saw Kong Xue beside her. She was turning her face aside, and she didn't seem to hear anything, but I could infer from her strange expression and slightly red cheeks that she still heard some.

I held back my laughter and heard my second uncle continue, "I thought it was like squeezing a camel milk like milking a cow, but I didn't expect that the camel milk couldn't squeeze out at all. I squeezed it around, maybe I hurt it, the female camel suddenly snorted, raised her hind hooves and kicked me, and then ran away. That kick almost kicked me over and got angry. When I got up and looked for it, the camel would have disappeared!"

After the second uncle finished speaking, he still told me again, "Don't tell anyone! Remember, hey, you guys laugh so hard!"

I couldn't help it anymore and lay on the ground and laughed wildly. Shi Tao and Dawuti also laughed without any concealment. Even Kong Xue, who turned her head, kept trembling with her shoulders. Dawuti told the second uncle that during the period when the female camel gave birth, she could secrete milk only when she smelled the smell of the cubs. It made the second uncle very embarrassed!

I originally planned to ask my uncle's camel to carry more equipment so that we could speed up. But since things have come to this point, there is no way, so we had to streamline the equipment again, bring only the necessary supplies, and leave some of the things in place. If we have the chance in the future, we will take them away.

When we were camping at the Tang family just now, the second uncle had roughly determined where they were going. Everything was ready, so we started to move forward in the direction provided by the second uncle.

We came in from the waterway below the sea, which means we should come from the south of Haizi, and the direction we are heading is the north of Haizi, which should be the deepest part of the desert.

The route we are moving forward now makes me think of the zongzi that I saw last night. The direction we are now, including the direction we are walking in the Tang family, is consistent with the original direction we were walking last night. I suddenly had a bold idea. If we were not following the route of the Tang family, but following the strange zongzi at night, would we also be able to reach the place we wanted to go?

I originally thought that the journey would be very short. After all, we have entered the area of ​​Blood Sand, and it should not be far from the legendary Ancient King of Shanhuan, but I didn't expect that we would have been walking for more than half a day. In addition, the people of the Tang family rode camels, so we were walking completely. In this way, the gap between us continued to widen, which made me a little anxious!

What also puzzled me was that the direction we were walking was not always moving forward. After walking north for a while, we began to move west again. What was going on?

Just when I was confused, I looked at my second uncle. It seemed that he didn't understand the expression. But I found that he sometimes frowned and sometimes sneered. I was a little worried that he would be kicked by the female camel!

Just after we continued to move forward for a while, we suddenly found many camels on the top of a sand dune. Uncle Er pointed there and said loudly: "Look, that's the camel of the Tang family!"

We stopped quickly. In order not to be discovered, we observed for a while, and then we carefully approached the group of camels, but found that there was no one around them.

We saw that most of the equipment on the camels were taken away, leaving only some irrelevant things. It seems that the people from the Tang family have also changed from cycling to walking here, but why is this?

With this curiosity, we lay on the top of the sand dune and quietly poked our heads down. When we saw this, we were stunned immediately.

In front of us was a huge bowl-shaped basin surrounded by multiple sand dunes. What surprised us was that the color of the sand in this basin was also red, but the color of the sand here was brighter than the color of the sand outside, as if it had just been soaked in blood, making people feel cold on their backs.

In fact, this is not what surprised us the most. What makes us feel most incredible is that in the middle of this blood-red basin, there are some dilapidated ruins, which look like the ruins of an ancient city. It is obvious that this ancient city is extremely old and the buildings of that time were eroded by wind and sand. However, in the center of these ruins, there is a small black tower standing. Due to the distance, we cannot see what material it is. However, this abrupt small tower, especially between this blood-red, always gives people a strange feeling.

Could this be the legendary ruins of the royal city of the ancient Shanhuan Kingdom?! This is simply a discovery that subverts archaeological history!

"You see where!" Kong Xue suddenly said.

We followed her gaze and had just been attracted by the ruins of the ancient city. After Kong Xue's reminder, we noticed that some people were moving towards the ruins not far ahead, and they were from the Tang family!
