On the side, Ye Xiao stood where he was, swiped the long black knife in his hand, wiped off the filthy blood on it, and put the knife back into its sheath in the blink of an eye.

After doing all this, Ye Xiao looked up at the dazed crowd, and quickly said:
"Why are you still standing there, hurry back to the truck!"

Instead, Ye Xiao once again turned his gaze to the sandy ground beside him.

There are more and more bulging sand dunes around, and if they don't escape from this place, I'm afraid they will never have another chance.

When everyone in the archaeological team heard Ye Xiao's words, they came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Seeing more and more bulging sand dunes around them, everyone felt the coolness rushing up their backs, and their scalps exploded.

Immediately, regardless of other things, they all quickly ran towards the truck in front of them.

Soon, with the help of Ye Xiao, Mu Li and Tu Kun, the archaeological team boarded the truck.

To be on the safe side, Tukun was in the carriage in case of accidents.

Mu Li and Ye Xiao were sitting in the front and co-pilots, ready to drive away quickly.

However, before Mu Li successfully ignited, the carriage began to shake violently with a "bang".

Countless Mongolian worms around the truck were already attacking the truck.

With the panic in his heart and the shaking of the car, Mu Li couldn't insert the key into the keyhole no matter what.

For a moment, Mu Li was also sweating profusely.

"If you don't leave here again, when more and more worms gather, this place will turn into a sandpit again, and none of us will be able to escape by then!"

After saying this, Mu Li couldn't help but turn pale.

It was unexpectedly that the key was inserted into the keyhole suddenly at the nick of time.

With a roar, Mu Li turned the key violently, and the ignition was successful.

As the surrounding scenery slowly receded, the truck moved quickly and slowly moved forward.

The body gets less and less impact.

The truck can finally drive smoothly in the desert.

Seeing that they got out of trouble, Mu Li couldn't help but suddenly beamed with joy, thinking that they were about to get out of trouble.

However, at this moment, Ye Xiao's voice sounded again:
"Change direction!"

Mu Li was taken aback for a moment, but suddenly saw countless bulges appearing on the sand dunes at some point in front of him.

Driving frantically in the direction of the truck.

Mu Li's pupils dilated suddenly, and he turned the steering wheel hastily, changing the direction of the truck.

It wasn't until those bulges became farther and farther away from the crowd in the rearview mirror that Mu Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The truck was driving in the desert, just like that.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden noise in the rear carriage.

Mu Li slammed on the brakes, and after confirming that there were no more weird sand dune bumps around him, he got out of the car and went to the carriage to check the situation.

After Ye Xiao got out of the car, he first checked the sun that was setting in the sky, and then returned to the rear compartment.

"what happened?"

Seeing that everyone's faces were a bit unsightly, Ye Xiao couldn't help asking.

Professor Zhou put the satellite map in Ye Xiao's hand, pointed to the little red dot on it and said:

"The satellite map seems to be useless, and the little red dot on it has never moved!"

Ye Xiao took the satellite map, frowned and observed for a while, then handed the satellite map to Professor Zhou, and went out of the car again.

Take out the compass from the "backpack", the compass is still pointing steadily, without an inch of confusion.

After thinking for a while, Ye Xiao returned to the carriage.

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Ye Xiao slowly explained:
"Now... we may have come to the depths of the Erdos Desert, which should be a place that the satellites have never explored."

"So, it's not that the miniature map has lost its function, it should be that we have come to the no-man's land of the Erdos Desert!"

Outside the carriage, the desert is windy and sandy, and the setting sun is lonely.

The scorching hot air is still twisting constantly.

Inside the carriage, the atmosphere gradually turned cold.

A chill suddenly rose from everyone's back, and their faces gradually became ugly.

"We... came to the depths of the desert of Edos?"

Professor Zhou seemed to be seeking proof, and looked at Mu Li who was on the side.

Mu Li lowered his head, frowned and said:

"In order to avoid being chased by that worm, we drove for an unknown amount of time."

"After the chase of the worm that broke away, we drove for nearly 40 minutes, and I don't know where it is now!"

After saying this, Ye Xiao went on to say:

"In the unchanging scenery of the desert, and under the stimulation of adrenaline, people's perception of time, distance, and orientation in the outside world will be infinitely weakened!"

"You may only feel that half an hour has passed, but it is not necessarily true that you have driven for more than an hour!"

This is what Ye Xiao was told by an old local guide known as the Desert Living Map when he traveled to the Sahara.

Ye Xiao remembered it till now.

When everyone in the archaeological team heard this, their hearts gradually sank to the bottom of the valley.

"What should we do now? We must hurry back to the barracks! The life and death of the squad leader and comrades-in-arms are uncertain after being attacked. We have to find the troops as soon as possible!"

With a serious expression on Tu Kun's face, he said worriedly.

Professor Zhou also frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Professor Zhou raised his head and said helplessly:
"There is no better way now, let's take a look at the integration of supplies, spend the night here today, and return to the barracks tomorrow with the sunrise!"

After Professor Zhou finished speaking, everyone started to act.

Because they came out this time, they didn't plan to spend too long in the desert, so they didn't prepare too many supplies.

Coupled with the consumption on the road before, there are only about two to three days left.

Furthermore... It was a bad news-the truck was about to run out of gas!
Only Professor Zhou, Ye Xiao, Mu Li, and Tu Kun knew about this news.

In order to avoid panic, Professor Zhou and the others did not plan to tell everyone about this first.

While everyone was camping in full swing, Mu Li was protecting Professor Zhou and looking for places around where there were no satellite pictures.

It wasn't until it was dark that Zhou Jiaoshu and Mu Li returned to the camp sweating profusely.

Apparently, things were not going well, and no satellite images were found.

In other words, they are still trapped in this desert, with no way out at all.

At this time, Ye Xiao was sitting by the campfire, staring at the campfire in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

In order to avoid being disturbed, Professor Zhou and Mu Li came to the truck.

He glanced at the bustling crowd in the distance, and Professor Zhou cautiously asked:
"How long can the oil in the truck last?"

"I'm not sure, maybe at most we can only hold on until we return to the Esai Grotto!"

After thinking for a moment, Mu Li replied slowly.

Obviously, even Mu Li doesn't know how long the remaining diesel in the truck's fuel tank can last.

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhou fell into silence again.

During this trip, I only found a few clues to Genghis Khan's Mausoleum, and to put it bluntly, the clues are almost the same as no clues.

However, not only did he encounter that weird worm attack on the way, he was even almost lost in the desert.

Right now, the archaeological team can't move an inch, and even Professor Zhou suddenly feels powerless.

Professor Zhou lowered his arms, sighed and said:
"Forget it, now we can only take one step at a time!"
