red tomb

Su You and Jin Sheng were all focused on the barren desert in front of them, and they didn't notice Jiang Siqi's abnormal behavior.

"It looks like an abandoned city." The map was obviously useless, so Su You gave it up decisively and took out a pocket telescope instead.This kind of telescope does not have a large multiple, but it is always better than the naked eye. "To our side is the city wall, uh, and it seems to be curved. For the other parts..." He turned his direction, "You can't see from behind." The place where they stood was low, even if there were taller buildings in the city , and probably won't be found.

City walls and the like are not news, but curved ones are relatively rare.Jiang Siqi settled down, "The ancient city left by the former Qin Dynasty?" Chenghuangkou was the capital of several dynasties after the former Qin Dynasty, but for their situation, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the former Qin Dynasty.

"Maybe, maybe not, anyway, I can't see it." Jin Sheng also took out his binoculars. "Yellow earth color, and not too close," he said while watching, "I don't know if there is a sandstorm or quicksand."

"If we hurry up, is it possible to climb up before the sun sets?" Su You is more concerned about this issue.Because you can only travel during the day; at night, you have to deal with sandstorms, quicksand and ghosts at the same time. Thinking about it, it is not a good prospect.

"It should be possible." Jin Sheng replied, but it was Jiang Siqi who was looking at him.

This was undoubtedly a lack of trust in his physical strength, and Jiang Siqi suddenly became furious. "Let's go!" He pulled out the climbing rope hanging from his waist, "Tie it up, we'll set off right away!"

In less than 15 minutes, they decide to step into an area that doesn't exist on the map.It's a risk, but they really don't have a better option.Either hold back this time and wait for the next weird thing to come to them again, or face the difficulty and seize the opportunity that may solve the problem.And no matter who among the three, they don't want to sit still.

The weather is already sweltering, but even more so when you step on the hot sand that is hot enough to cook eggs.Although the hottest time of noon has already been staggered, when the endless hot air hits up and down, Su You can only hope that Jin Sheng's prediction yesterday came true.He stepped on the sand with one foot deep and one foot shallow, trying to comfort himself with the theory of wishing for plums to quench thirst.

Walking in the middle, Jiang Siqi felt Su You's silence, and couldn't help saying, "Fortunately, we filled the water bottle every time we stopped."

The rope connected the three of them together so that others could pull them up in time in case of an accident of falling into quicksand.Su Ji pulled the rope right now, and said with a smile, "It's always right to be prepared. If there's nothing inside, we can come down tomorrow."

Jin Sheng at the front curled his lips when he heard this, "Do you want something or nothing?"

"Of course it's better," Su You replied quickly, "I don't want to suffer from this kind of crime again!" He raised his eyes and looked around, realizing that the dazzling sunlight dazzled his eyes, and retracted them again, "It would be even better if it went smoothly!"

Jin Sheng also looked around.It didn't look abnormal at all during the day, so he felt that it was smoother than at night, at least there were no ghosts. "At this time, we might as well have an advantage over a camel!"

"Even Chenghuangkou doesn't sell camels anymore." Jiang Siqi couldn't help reminding. "Unless you really go abroad first, the only means of transportation that can enter the desert is the camel."

"Well, I'm just talking." Jin Sheng shrugged and took the lead to climb up a gentle slope. "It's so hot in here..."

"...I have a question..." At the end, Su You suddenly spoke at a very slow speed.

"What's wrong?" The two people in front heard that the tone was wrong, and immediately stopped and turned around.

"It seems that we have really crossed the national border..." Su Yumu replied, raising his wrist at the same time.

Jin Sheng and Jiang Siqi realized that he was talking about GPS positioning, and hurriedly lowered their heads to look at their own.In just three seconds, their expressions were as dull as Su You's——

According to the displayed latitude and longitude, they have really left the country!

"It's impossible!" Jin Sheng said fiercely, "I saw it when I was at the foot of the mountain! It's no problem at all!"

Jiang Siqi rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of the problem - although he didn't want to see this kind of problem happen. "You haven't stepped on the sand yet, have you?" Because of that inexplicable feeling, he remembers clearly that he was the first to step on it.

"You mean, we have crossed thousands of kilometers on the map in one step?" Jin Sheng couldn't believe it.

"In other words, the ruins themselves spanned thousands of kilometers." Su You said again.

It sounded like there was no deep meaning in these words, and the other two stared at him in unison.

"I feel the sand under my feet is moving..." Su Yu said this very clearly and calmly. "Run! Run!" he yelled.

Before Su You finished his first sentence, Jin Sheng had recovered and rushed upwards.Jiang Siqi also understood, but when he moved his feet, he stretched out his hand sideways and shouted: "Brother, grab me!"

"It's enough to have a rope!" Su You refused involuntarily, "Run, or we'll all die here!" His athleticism was much better than Jiang Siqi's, so how could he agree to let Jiang Siqi pull him.

Jiang Siqi immediately came back to his senses.He is in the middle, if it is not fast enough, it will be enough to affect the front and back. The three of them are really going to wipe out the whole army.So he gritted his teeth, retracted his hand, and rushed upwards.

At the beginning, Su You just stepped on a corner of the dark sand.Or to be precise, it may turn into quicksand on the bright side at any time, just a little bit; and Su You's foot became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Whether you choose to drag out slowly or run fast, you may not be successful, and there are risks; but relatively speaking, the former is more suitable for Su You's style of actively fleeing from danger, trembling, and other sand layers that may collapse at any time.

The three of them ran up with all their strength, unable to distinguish the details of the surroundings carefully; they dared not or could not step on the ground with one foot, and the target was the ruins at a high place—since the city can be built on the top, it is not easy to sink ,right?

If you stand at the foot of the mountain at this time, you can see that the golden yellow fine sand slides and bends, and outlines an extremely beautiful arc on the sand surface.The arc became more and more slender, turned a corner, and then turned back.After doing this several times, it showed the shape of an abstract eye, which was exactly the same as the pattern on the bronze cup.After another few minutes, the quicksand moved and it disappeared again.

It's a pity that the three of them are running for their lives, and it is impossible to notice this.Jin Sheng didn't dare to stop until he stepped on a solid rock surface, gasping for breath.There was a burning pain from nose to throat, and he didn't care about it, he just turned his head back to look at Su You and Jiang Siqi: "Are you...all right?"

"Fortunately, I saved my life..." Su Yu replied, his voice was also very hoarse. "Changing duck voice in seconds, all of them, huh?"

Although he was almost paralyzed from exhaustion and his accelerated heartbeat hadn't recovered yet, Jin Sheng still couldn't help laughing and sat down on the ground. "Your words don't sound like someone who saved his life." He looked down for his water bottle, "I think Xiao Qi is more like..."

Because Jiang Siqi's feet went limp the moment he stopped, and he fell sideways on the sand.The reason for the side attack is that he managed to turn his head in the last second before his lips kissed the ground, narrowly avoiding the fate of eating a big mouthful of sand. "I'm dying..." he said, his voice barely audible.

Su You sat down beside him and took out his water bottle. "You're already running fast, Xiao Qi," he comforted, helped Jiang Siqi's head up a little, and then handed the spout of the water bottle to his mouth, "Compared with your speed in the high school entrance examination, it's not too much better! "

During Jiang Siqi's high school entrance examination, physical education was still a compulsory subject, including 50 meters, standing long jump and 1-minute rope skipping.Jiang Siqi is a physical waste, the latter two are not bad, 50 meters... so slow that Su You can't wait to run for him.

When this kind of black history is brought up, Jiang Siqi will definitely become angry in normal times.But now, he didn't even have the strength to become angry, so he just gulped water.

Jin Sheng drank half of the bottle in one go, and then looked at Su You and Jiang Siqi. "Anyway, I managed to climb up alive." He turned his head to look at the top, and then glanced back at the sand dunes that had returned to calmness in front of him. "We will be able to reach the top in half an hour at most."

Hearing this, Su You also looked at it, slightly surprised. "Half an hour? I thought it was almost here!" He pushed aside the sand below with his foot, "How deep is the foundation of this city?"

"The foundation must be deep, otherwise it will not be swept away by quicksand or blown away by strong wind." Jin Sheng thinks this is very logical.

"...That means, there must be no quicksand in front, right?" Jiang Siqi drank enough water, finally regained some strength, and struggled to get up.His originally fair face was flushed due to the heat and intense exercise, and the part that was on the sand before was even redder, apparently scalded.

Su You wiped off the dirty sand for him, and saw his clothes with white salt stains, and couldn't help feeling distressed.Jiang Siqi has been spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he is the darling of the elders. He has never been so messed up. "It should be gone."

Looking at this interaction, Jin Sheng felt sour for some reason.Nima, these two guys are really blind!That's it before you get it, what else can Jiang Siqi be dissatisfied with! "Do you want to rest for a while before starting, or continue walking immediately?" He tried not to show his emotions and asked for advice instead.

Su You glanced at Jiang Siqi. "Go on," he said, "I'm afraid we won't be able to walk again after we take a break. After we climb up, it's better to be nestled at the base of the city wall than to stand on the sand."

"That's right," Jin Sheng agreed, "We can rest outside the city for one night now, and then go in at dawn."

Unless there were any accidents, Jiang Siqi would listen to his brother, so the three of them continued to move forward.It's just that Jiang Siqi was too exhausted, so Su You had to help him.But no matter what, as expected, they never encountered quicksand again, and saw the tall city wall close at hand before the sun set——

It is made of earth bricks, each brick is more than three meters long and nearly one meter high; judging from the dilapidated section, the thickness is even more impressive, with five overlapping layers.I don't know whether it was in disrepair or was once breached, but there is a huge gap in such a strong city wall.Looking in through it, it is not a door or a corridor, but a city wall that looks more majestic and has a height of three floors——

Su Yu and the three of them were stunned.How does this thing get in?
