Chapter 103 Chapter Fifteen

Seeing that the sand wolves refused to back down, we quickly ran out of ammunition and food, which was a real headache.The most exasperating thing is that the bullets cause almost no damage to the wolves, and even a single wolf cannot be killed.Uncle An saw the needles and blamed us for not listening to the old man. If we had changed the route just now, we might not have met the sand wolf.On the other hand, Uncle Chen was very happy, not only did he kill happily, but he also kept thanking us for our persistence, which gave him the opportunity to kill. Uncle An saw that the wolves could not be killed or injured, so he shouted to run away and stop fighting meaninglessly.The little cousin refused to agree, she said that she must never run, as if she ran, she would surely die.The reason why the wolves are afraid is that they are afraid that the bullet will kill them.And we stand still, the wolves mistakenly think that we still have a killer weapon, if we run away now, we will definitely be chased by them.

"It's not an option to continue this stalemate." Zhao Shuai asked. I also felt embarrassed, so I said to Uncle Chen: "Oh, why are you just preparing guns? If you prepare a few atomic bombs, you will not be able to kill this group of sand wolves." These sand wolves may not have eaten for a long time, and they are so hungry. Want to eat yellow sand, bullets can't scare them back, let alone hurt them.Neither side was willing to compromise, and I was sunburned and thirsty enough to eat my tongue.Mu Qingxiang will always have a solution at this time, but seeing her standing there blankly, it doesn't look like she has a clever plan to offer.Everyone was in such a hurry that they could only decide within a few minutes whether to go or stay. This decision was related to our life and death.

My heart skipped a beat, thinking that I couldn't turn back, now that there was no water, how could I go back.The ancient city of Yuequan is just ahead. There are nine springs in it, and there may be clear water in one of the springs.As long as we can enter the ancient city, we can replenish the water source and temporarily escape the dangers in the desert.Thinking of this, I suddenly had an idea, maybe I could force the sand wolf back. I anxiously took something out of my bag, and aimed at the wolves. After a gust of wind passed, the howling of the wolves immediately became quieter.The thing I took out was the big tea gossip needle. It stands to reason that bullets can't kill the wolves, and the gossip needle is also difficult to work.However, according to legend, the first tea king——Yang Tianling walked out of the ancient city of Yuequan, and the last tea——Yangchi Mountain King returned to the ancient city. It is very likely that the tea kings in the middle also returned to the ancient city in the desert. .

Why the tea king came back regularly is still a mystery, maybe just like the tea king returned to Mingling regularly, it was to keep something as precious as Danchi alive.Sand wolves in the desert have existed for as long as the ancient city, and there were no guns in the past. Since the Bagua needle is a possession of the tea king, it must not only kill people, but also subdue some ferocious beasts.Sand Wolf must have suffered from Bagua Needle before, otherwise Tea King would not have easily stepped into the desert. One of the sand wolves was shot by me, and the other wolves wanted to fight back, but I hurriedly sent out Bagua needles a few times, and they left angrily.The gossip needle has been modified by Mu Qingxiang. The needles she made for me are non-toxic and much less powerful, otherwise they can kill people if they are pressed randomly.As long as it can make the opponent fall temporarily, it doesn't have to be the head, this is Mu Qingxiang's idea.

The wounded wolves left whimpering. Uncle Chen immediately became interested in Dacha Bagua Needle, but it was not suitable to explain it right now, so I put away the needle box again.Uncle An also knew that the situation was serious, so I reassured him that if he could find the ancient city of Yuequan, he would be able to find the source of water, so everything would be easy to handle. As soon as the ancient city of Yuequan was mentioned, Uncle An thought of the dealer who stole and sold cultural relics, and it was Zhao Shuai who was cunning. He immediately made an excuse that we should investigate not only the current ecological environment of the desert, but also the ancient environment.The ancient cities in the legend can survive in the desert, their ecology must be very special, so it is also a necessary link for us.Uncle An didn't quite understand, he was taken aback for a while, and said that he misunderstood us just now.

The entire desert is like a sea of ​​melted gold, so hot that we want to peel off the skin, we don't have much water, so we cheered up and moved forward to find the only hope - the ancient city of Yuequan.Uncle An patted the camel's head, spoke some Mongolian or other dialects, and then reluctantly continued walking with us. Because the camel died, all the luggage had to be allocated and we carried it ourselves.But at this time, the little cousin lost her temper. She didn't want to recite anything, and she changed back to the posture of the eldest lady.I didn't want to cause trouble, so I simply recited my little cousin's share, but she didn't even say thank you.Zhao Shuai muttered a few words, and I shook my head at him, implying that he would forget about it. It is only natural for a man to help a woman carry things, let alone his relatives.

Uncle An was still a little worried, shook the burden on his back, and asked me: "It's not good for us to go this way. The wolf flees in this direction. If we chase it again, isn't it that the sheep will enter the tiger's mouth? As the saying goes Said, don’t chase after the poor.” "That's true, but sand wolves have to have a den. Could it be that they are really sleeping in the desert?" I paused and said, "If my guess is correct, the ancient city of Yuequan must be their lair. Unless there is a second ancient city nearby." "The ancient city is a wolf's den?" Zhao Shuai was taken aback.

"That's just right, take them all in one litter!" Uncle Chen said excitedly, completely forgetting that bullets are useless to wolves. Mu Qingxiang has been very quiet. At this time, she said: "Lu Jianxin is right. The sand wolf needs not only a nest to withstand the wind and sand, but also a source of water. The springs in the ancient city may not be dry yet, and they must be drinkable." But the little cousin denied it: "That's not necessarily true. You didn't see that I shot so many shots, and the wolves were safe and sound. I guess they would be invulnerable if they drank the spring water."

"Then why Xiaolu's gossip needle can hurt the wolves?" Uncle An asked suspiciously. Nan Gongxiong didn't care about anything, he only cared about whether his poor girlfriend would be kidnapped by the moon god Jiafu to the ancient city.I thought that Zhao Shuai was about to speak out, probably saying that Nan Gongxiong's girlfriend had died long ago, so I cut the conversation aside and asked Nan Gongxiong if he could hold on.Among us, Nan Gongxiong was the most injured. He was covered in injuries from the very beginning, and he always fell behind in the team. I often forgot his existence.

Moving forward with heavy loads, we were much slower than before. While talking, the little cousin raised the binoculars again and said loudly that she saw a tower in the sky, which was probably the Zhenxian Pagoda in the ancient city of Yuequan.I snatched the binoculars when I heard it, and a slightly crooked spire popped up in the sky, and the ancient city was there.Why didn't the former tea people or those who entered the desert notice it? Could it be that they changed their direction because they felt unwell. When the wolves left, a cloud of dust and smoke was raised, and the direction they ran was the location of the ancient city.We raised our hopes and walked forward full of expectations, but Uncle An was always worried, and kept asking if there was any other way, so as not to go to the ancient city.I hummingly thought, how can there be such a good thing in the world that won't give you a second choice.We originally wanted to find the ancient city of Yuequan, but now that we finally found it, it would be a waste of all our previous efforts.Even if the ancient city is full of dinosaurs, we have to bite the bullet and break through.

"Wait, I seemed...to see a fire ahead?" Uncle An hesitated. "Where did the fire come from? Are you not blind?" Zhao Shuai said sternly. "It's true, I think we should change the direction." Uncle An started to fan us again. I just wanted to say don't be afraid, it's so hot in the desert, it's strange that there is no fire.Mu Qingxiang contradicted me, and said very calmly: "Juan is right, there is indeed a fire ahead, look at the yellow sand in front, there are indeed occasional fires coming out of the air." "Really?" I didn't want to believe it, so I took my little cousin's binoculars, looked forward for a minute, and was immediately startled.Sure enough, they didn't lie, the yellow sand was billowing with hot air, and blood-red flames burst out from time to time in the air, or something very similar to flames.There is no matter in the air that can burn. Could it be that the desert is hot enough to burn the sand?I exhaled, feeling that although it was very hot around me, it would not be able to burn the air out of the flames. The world's great wonders.Nan Gongxiong didn't take it seriously, he jumped out and said maybe there might be natural gas there.There are always oil, natural gas and other resources in the desert. Although most of them are buried deep in the strata, some will "leak" to the sand surface.The high temperature in the desert can cook eggs. If the natural gas overflows, it is likely to be ignited by the hot air, and finally a flame in the air is formed. After hearing this, I questioned: "It doesn't make sense. If there is a fire, the flame will follow the natural gas and burn all the natural gas underground. Wouldn't it cause a big explosion?" The little cousin had sharp eyes, looked into the distance and said: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no fire, I didn't see that the wolves had all walked to that desert, and their fur was not burned." Uncle Chen was obviously a little scared. Although he was very persistent in killing wolves, the wolf in front of him was not ordinary, and he didn't kill it just because he wanted to.After hesitating for a while, Uncle Chen said: "If you don't listen to Lao Hu, let's withdraw. I'm afraid these wolves won't be able to provoke them." I looked at Uncle Chen in surprise. I didn't expect that he, who has always been the most determined, would also be shaken. Could it be that he was frightened just now because the bullet didn't kill the sand wolf?It’s not good for me to take innocent people into the ancient city. Before I can see the whole picture of the ancient city, it is already in danger. If I really want to enter the ancient city, I don’t know if I can come out alive.However, it is a dead end for everyone to disperse, not to mention that we have no water, and the only source of water is likely to be in the ancient city of Yuequan.In any case, we must break through this level, even if we have wings, we may not be able to fly out of the desert. I made up my mind and said to them: "Don't panic now. Since the wolves can pass through the desert, it proves that the red light may not be fire. If it is really fire, we will wait until night to walk over. The night in the desert is not It's cold, it's already below zero." As soon as I finished speaking, everyone felt that it made sense. In autumn and winter, the nights in the desert are indeed very cold, and sometimes it snows.At that time, there will be no fires in the desert, and it would be even better if there were fires, just to keep warm.The emotional incitement was successfully carried out, and everyone walked forward arrogantly, like going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, and Leiyin Temple is in front of them. We wearily stepped on the hot yellow sand, followed the vague footprints left by the wolves, and slowly walked towards the most mysterious area.I lowered my head to avoid direct sunlight on my chapped lips, but Mu Qingxiang leaned towards me and said softly: "Do you smell the smell of rotting corpses? One of these people has that smell all over him, maybe he is no longer people."
