The ancient country of Loulan once occupied the transportation hub between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty. In its most powerful period, even the Han Emperor at that time could only adopt a soft policy towards it.

But it mysteriously disappeared in an instant 1000 years ago.

Since then, among the peoples on the edge of the Taklimakan Desert, there has been a legend that a sandstorm, like a curse from God, buried the entire ancient city in an instant...

And what I have in my hand belongs to the royal family of Loulan.

I have a hunch that this is like a Pandora's box, maybe there is a priceless historical artifact inside, but there may be something else hidden.

should i open it

For a moment, I hesitated, but curiosity overcame reason, and I finally couldn't help opening it.

Packed in this sandalwood box three feet long and one inch wide is a robe.

The texture is fine and silky, and I don't know what kind of material it is.

The robe is embroidered with a four-clawed golden dragon from bottom to top, and there are gilt patterns on the cuffs and collar as decorations. Every stitch is exquisite and perfect.

The most important thing is that after years of baptism, the integrity of this dragon robe is still quite high, and it is simply a work of art at first glance.

Another beam of flashlight came over, it was the fire monkey, and he also saw the robe, "Huh? Isn't this the clothes worn by ancient emperors? Could it be that we are in the imperial city of Loulan?"

imperial city?maybe……

While I was a little touched, I felt that what he said was quite reasonable.

If this dragon robe was enshrined to the imperial court, then this place should not be far from the ancient Loulan imperial city, or maybe we are already in the Loulan imperial city, but we don't know it yet.

Fire Monkey jokingly said, "You don't want to wear it and experience what it's like to be an emperor?"

"If I want to wear you, I don't have the time to think about it."

"Okay!"

He took the dragon robe and put it on himself, looked down and laughed at himself, with a rather desolate taste, "Tsk, it's not a waste of time to be the emperor, but I should be the emperor of history." The worst emperor ever..."

As he spoke, he leaned against the thick wooden pillars and sat down on the muddy ground, not feeling sorry for the inestimably valuable historical relics on his body.

Forget it, I shook my head and found a drier corner as a place to spend the night.

The moment I relaxed, I was instantly overwhelmed by exhaustion, and fell asleep without even thinking about it.

When I woke up, it was eerily quiet, dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.

I was relieved when I turned on the flashlight and saw the Fire Monkey and the others safe and sound.

Luckily, we're all fine.

I came to the door lightly, and looked out through the small crack of the door. It was dark and I couldn't see anything. The small area illuminated by the flashlight was empty.

What about those worms?
I frowned and observed carefully for a long time, but there were no clues. Although there were traces of worms crawling on the street outside, those traces were too messy, and it was impossible to judge whether they had gone far or lurked.

I woke up the fire monkey. When he got up, he was confused. He even picked up the gun and held it in his arms, pointing the butt of the gun at me.

"You...what are you doing! It's not so easy to eat me, see if I don't give you a sudden!"

As soon as he finished talking in a daze, he woke up. The old man blushed and scratched his head with a dry smile, "Then what, I fell asleep, it wasn't on purpose..."

"It's okay, I woke you up to discuss with you, the worm swarm outside has disappeared, should we wait, or leave now?"

I asked calmly.

"Wait a little longer, or it's too dangerous."

The fire monkey was stunned, then sat down, and said with a bitter face, "The flamethrower is no longer usable, and there are not many bullets left. If we encounter those bugs again, we will all be finished."

"But what will she do if we don't go?"

I pointed to Yang Hui, when I rescued Gu Huai from her stomach, she had a high fever.

If she stayed here any longer, she would definitely die.

Fire Monkey also realized the seriousness of the matter, frowned, stood up slowly, and raised his gun.

"It's not too late, let's go now!"

When he got up, I noticed that the dragon robe on his body was actually clean, and it didn't look like he had been in contact with the mud at all.

It comes out of silt without being stained, this material is indeed special enough.

But the fire monkey didn't notice this. I thought about it and thought it was just a piece of clothing, so there was no need to tell him.

But at this time, I never thought that what I didn't care about would actually save our lives later. Of course, this is a later story.

Same as yesterday, the fire monkey was leading the way, and I was responsible for taking care of Yang Hui who had a high fever.

Like thieves, the three of us carefully opened the door and walked out. Although every step was light, we could not help but make a "rustling" sound when we stepped on the ground. We walked tens of meters in fear before we dared to leave Quicken your pace.

The streets became more and more open, and the surrounding buildings gradually became rarer.

But under our feet, there are some more things, the dead bodies of some arthropods are lying on the ground in disorder.

Millipedes, also known as millipedes, mostly live in dark and humid places, and the environment in the ancient city is also in line with its habits.

It's just that these guys are extraordinarily large in size, each one is as thick as my wrist, half an arm long, and countless fine and dense pairs of feet spread all over the abdomen like fluff.

"Worms did it..."

The fire monkey kicked an upturned Malu beside him and turned it over, and saw a small hole in Malu's head, under the belly eyes the size of a baby's fist.

This millipede's brain has been emptied, and the others probably died in the same way.

It was the kind of brain-eating worm that did it right.

This little episode did not affect our speed of progress. Soon, we came to a square paved with granite. On the other side opposite to us, I saw a lot of vague silhouettes, which should be some kind of Buildings, but too far apart, it is really hard to see clearly.

Just as I was about to walk over, suddenly, the fire monkey grabbed my shoulder and motioned to me that we were not far ahead.

At this time, I withdrew my gaze and looked straight ahead.

So many... so many people!

In the square, there are all kinds of people, men, women and children. It can be seen from their costumes that some of them are businessmen, some are common people, and there are many officials and eunuchs from rich and noble families.It also made me understand why the streets that should be bustling are empty.

Because they all gathered here before they were alive!
