There is no way my vest will fall off!

"Oh shit."

Xu Qian spread his arms and sat down cross-legged.

Sang Ge took the camera into his hand, first handed it to Fifth Master, but Fifth Master raised his chin towards him, so the camera was in the hands of Boss Shen again.

Without further ado, Boss Shen immediately arranged for someone to check the camera.

While waiting for the news, Fifth Master asked the others to go down to rest first. Seeing that the desert was getting colder and colder, no one could bear it after staying for a long time.

Xu Qian patted his buttocks and was about to get up when he noticed that something was wrong with Meng Ziqiu's expression, which was indescribably weird, as if he had seen something incredible.Xu Qian followed his gaze, and what Meng Ziqiu saw was... the inscription on the stone tablet?

"Okay, let's go back first, there are still many things waiting for tomorrow." Master Wu said.

Xu Qian walked up to Meng Ziqiu's side and pulled off his sleeves. Meng Ziqiu came back to his senses and looked at Xu Qian in front of him in a daze. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

"Let's go, uncle."

The sound of "uncle" woke Meng Ziqiu up completely, and he realized that now is not the time to be in a daze.

The two returned to the tent in a hurry, but the young man named Fox still didn't come back. Uncle Shui returned to the tent a little earlier than them.

"Rest early."

"Eh."

Seeing Uncle Shui turn his back, Meng Ziqiu rolled up his sleeves and showed a strong arm to Xu Qian.

Xu Qian tilted his head: ...?What's the meaning?To show off your figure?

Meng Ziqiu sighed, and said with his lips: My brother has that inscription on his arm.

Xu Qian blinked, feeling that things were becoming more and more complicated, his brain was a little insufficient, this Meng family...what's the origin...

Not only Xu Qian wanted to know this question, but even Meng Ziqiu himself didn't understand it. All of this... What is it all about!

……

At this time, the wind outside the tent was getting stronger and stronger, and the fox who didn't know where to go came back with a cold body.

Xu Qian, who was nestled in his sleeping bag, closed his eyes and opened the big map of crossing the desert. In the afternoon, he roughly calculated the distance between the two sides. In about half a day, they will reach the first place on the map. The building point, if nothing unexpected, is probably what this group of people are looking for... Monument Rock?And so on, that location is very close to Yan Jiudu's location, he can take advantage of the camping time to go over there, on the one hand to retrieve his big orange weapon, and on the other hand, to bring Meng Ziqiu's younger brother back by the way...

At this moment, there was a 'buzzing' sound from outside the tent, the sound was not loud, it could even be said to be weak.Xu Qian was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard it somewhere...

Oops!

He flung open the sleeping bag, quickly put his sword on, and shouted to Meng Ziqiu next to him, in a hurried tone, "Get up, something has happened, hurry up! Hurry up!"

Meng Ziqiu got out of his sleeping bag without saying a word. He believed in Xu Qian's judgment very much.

As for the other two people in the tent, the fox had already opened the tent and went out. Uncle Shui was a little slower, but he also got up quickly.

"What's going on! Brother Sang! Brother Sang——"

"What are you talking about! You're not going to sleep anymore, are you?"

"Look outside! Outside! Something has happened, come out quickly!"

"Damn, what the hell is this..."

Everyone ran out of the tent, and saw the bottomless stone tablet cracking little by little under the light of countless flashlights. No one knew why it cracked, but at the moment the stone tablet shattered, everyone around the stone tablet cracked. The sand sank as if there was no support, first a small piece, then a large piece, and the speed was getting faster and faster——

"Quicksand! It's quicksand!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Fuck! I was left behind! Qiangzi hurry up and give me a hand!"

"My feet—"

"Calm down! Don't struggle too much for those who are left behind. Calm down first, don't forcefully pull! The forceful pull will sink you deeper and deeper!" The middle-aged man who had previously studied the stele was speaking.

After a while of panic, the range of the quicksand was roughly determined. It was about 30 meters around the stele. In other words, it was half of their camp, which also included three vehicles loaded with supplies.As for the other people who were not left behind by the quicksand, it was not much better. The desert was very cold at night, especially when the wind was still blowing. After a while, some people were frozen so that their lips turned purple.

"Tui! Really mother's back time! This can also encounter quicksand, and it's still late at night!"

"Okay, don't mutter, hurry up and pull everyone up, the car tomorrow will be the real trouble."

"Hey, this is the first time that I hope so much for the day to come..."

"Isn't it, I freeze to death..."

"Okay, good ears."

Xu Qian looked sideways and saw that the speaker was Uncle Shui, and smiled innocently, "That's right, my dad has a good ear, which is inherited."

Uncle Shui laughed again, and said, "Okay, it seems that you can really eat this bowl of rice."

Meng Ziqiu raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything. He really felt that this little ancestor was addicted to acting. In a few days, he might even complete the family tree.

"Come here to help me!"

"Here we come." Meng Ziqiu closed his hat again, and then walked towards the person who spoke just now.

The rescue operation last night continued until the sun rose the next day, and the warm sunlight illuminated the entire desert. The magnificence at that moment was special, a beauty that can only be seen in the desert.

Xu Qian was lying on the sandy ground like big characters, taking advantage of the current temperature neither high nor low, just to rest for a while, basking in the sun by the way.

Meng Ziqiu saw it from a distance, holding a can of porridge in his hand, which was still warm. It was strange to say that he knew that the other party was really an ancestor-level existence, but every time he looked at the immature green face of his little ancestor Meng Ziqiu always had the feeling that he had become an elder with such a shy face, which was really strange.

"Eat some, we will be on our way later." He handed over the porridge in his hand.

"Does Fifth Master know about your younger brother?" Xu Qian rolled his eyes away, "You should tell him, right?"

Meng Ziqiu sat down, looked ahead and nodded, "Not only did I say it, but I was also scolded."

"If you scold well, the brat should be disciplined!"

Meng Ziqiu glanced at him and said, "I'm the one who scolded you, brother."

Xu Qian waved his hand and said, "It's you, aren't you a brat?"

Meng Ziqiu was silent for a while: "...you may be the first person to say that about me."

"It's okay," Xu Qian comforted him instead, "There will be more in the future."

Meng Ziqiu smiled helplessly.

"I thought you came to ask your brother." Xu Qian looked at him again. After all, Meng Ziqiu never asked about the next plan after entering the desert, as if there was no such thing.

"Hey, I don't believe you." Although Meng Ziqiu said it, there was more or less worry in Meng Ziqiu's eyes.

"Just wait," Xu Qian sat up, "I'll find it."

"Hey, that's right," Meng Ziqiu remembered something, "So your vocabulary was so advanced back then? And 'bear children'?"

Xu Qian laughed dryly, opened the lid of the can, took a bite, and the taste was okay.

While the two were chatting, the people brought by Boss Shen on the other side finally succeeded in recovering the data in the camera. It was indeed the archaeological team that lost contact, but judging from the photos, they seemed to have already been to the ancient site rock. .

"It seems that Mr. Shen is... what happened on the way back?"

Boss Shen didn't make a sound for a long time. After a while, he said that he would continue to set off first. If something really happened, there should be clues left in the monument rock.

Now that the boss who gave the money said so, so all the people rectified and continued to set off.

……

Under the leadership of the team leader, at 12:30 noon, a group of people finally arrived at the Monument Rock. It was a stone building that looked very dilapidated. It's the unknown inscription on the stone, which is basically the same as the stele found last night.

Xu Qian took a telescope and climbed to the highest rock. Since yesterday, the coordinates of Yan Jiudu have not moved. Logically speaking, they should be near here...

"Brother Sang, fifth master, I found something—"

"Fifth Master, yes, that's it."

Fifth Master only responded with one word - dig.

Xu Qian raised his binoculars and looked at the source of the sound just now. It was a stone pier, also full of inscriptions.

He jumped down, hung the binoculars around his neck, and walked towards the crowd.

After digging for nearly 10 minutes, several young people dug up a stone slab, and under the sign of the team leader, they moved the stone slab together. Under the stone slab is a stone road, which can only allow one person at a time. go down.

This is not the first time that this stone path has been discovered, and it is even regarded as one of the fixed "landscapes" of the monument rock, the same is true for the altar under the stone path.

But since everyone has come here, it’s okay to go shopping, after all, there are still people who are here for the first time, and there may be some clues inside.

Both Xu Qian and Meng Ziqiu are within the scope of this 'first time'.

"I'll go down first." After Xu Qian finished speaking, he hurried down the stone path in front of Meng Ziqiu.

"Be careful."

Coming down the stone road, Xu Qian felt as if he had returned to his lair... No, no, it was not an lair, but an old grave. Not to mention crowded, it was quite hot, like a big furnace.

"It's so hot, I remember it wasn't that hot before..."

"Yeah, you think something's wrong too, right? I just said it's so weird. Last time we almost didn't freeze us enough..."

Xu Qian stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was really warm. When he saw it, he was careful and removed a blood recovery medicine from his backpack, just in case.

This stone path is not too long. After a few minutes, everyone's field of vision gradually widened, and there was a stone gate in front of them. There was a stone pillar standing on each side of the stone gate, and on the stone gate was engraved a similar The inscriptions on the door seem to follow certain rules compared to those on the stone tablet.

The team leader obviously knew how the stone door was opened, and stepped forward to press the inscription on the door several times. Soon, a dull sound sounded, one click after another, a bit like the sound of gears rolling, When everyone thought that the stone gate was about to open, the team leader let out a strange 'huh'.

"How did this happen? Why can't it be opened? It's really strange..."

The team leader stretched out his hand again, but this time he didn't touch the Shimen much, and he was immediately shrunk back immediately after being scalded.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw quickly, something is wrong here—"
