After finding a guide, Shirley Yang didn't want to wait any longer and urged the team to set off quickly.
Professor Chen and others were also fascinated by the ancient city of Jingjue and wanted to fly there immediately, so they agreed directly.
So a mighty team set off.
More than 20 camels, plus ten people, more than half of the camels were carrying supplies, and the people riding on the camels also carried a small part of supplies, maximizing the camel's carrying capacity.
At this time, the Peacock River Basin southwest of Lake Bosteng was sparsely populated and far from as developed as in later generations.
However, the natural scenery was very magnificent.
Lake Bosteng is the largest inland freshwater lake, known as Yuhai in ancient times. Looking from a distance, the lake is vast and deep blue, as if you have really come to the seaside.
Going along the river all the way, everyone felt very excited in the first two days. This year, it is very inconvenient to travel, and there is almost no tourism industry, especially in remote places like deserts.
There were three students and Shen Hao in the group. It was their first time to enter the desert and they all found it very interesting.
Especially Chu Jian and the other two were the most lively. Sometimes they imitated An Liman to whistle and sometimes they chased and played.
As for Shen Hao, he was much quieter and not as lively as the students.
Although he was about the same age as Chu Jian and the other two, he was a cultivator after all, so he was much calmer.
In An Liman's opinion, this section of the road at first was not a desert at all. This section of the ancient river channel of the Peacock River existed before the river was diverted. The riverbed in many places was not dry, and the sand was shallow. There were many small oases around, where many wild animals and migratory birds lived.
The group moved forward along the ancient river channel until the Peacock River turned a corner and flowed to the southeast.
But the group continued to move southwest and headed straight to the depths of the desert.
Along the way, you can see many ruins of houses buried in the yellow sand and poplar trees that stubbornly took root in the drought.
After walking in the desert for five days, everyone had lost their initial enthusiasm.
On this day, the sky changed. The sky was originally clear, but on this morning, a fiery cloud appeared on the horizon.
As a senior photographer, Yang Xueli was immediately attracted by the beautiful scenery and raised her camera to take several consecutive photos.
However, An Liman stared at the rising sun in the sky, with a hint of uneasiness on his face.
Shen Hao walked to An Liman and said, "The morning glow does not go out, and the evening glow travels thousands of miles. The appearance of fiery red clouds in the morning is not a good sign."
"It looks like a big storm is coming. Old man, do you know where there is a place to hide nearby?"
"Really, my friend, did you see it too? We have to hurry up~" An Liman said.
"The ruins of the ancient city of Xiye are not far away. We originally planned to arrive tomorrow, but now we can only speed up and rush over, otherwise we will be buried alive by the sandstorm~!" An Liman said.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, old man. I'll tell them to get ready to leave right away." Shen Hao said.
An Liman nodded, then took a blanket from Camel Mountain, spread it on the sand, and knelt down to Hu Da very devoutly, muttering something.
Shen Hao came to Hu Bayi and said, "A big sandstorm is coming. Hurry up and notify everyone to pack up and leave immediately. Time waits for no one!"
Hu Bayi was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the fiery clouds in the sky and had a bad feeling in his heart.
So he quickly ran to Professor Chen, Yang Xueli and others to notify everyone to pack up and run away!
In the desert, no one would joke about such things.
Everyone realized the seriousness of the matter and packed up immediately.
Everyone was very fast. An Liman had already finished praying and rolled up the blanket, and suddenly jumped on the camel's back.
Everyone rode on the camels, and An Liman whistled to urge the camels to run away quickly.
The camels followed An Liman closely. The camels also sensed the danger signal and ran wildly with their four big hooves like crazy.
The bumps were so severe that everyone lined up on the camels' backs and held on tightly for fear of falling off.
At this time, the wind had blown in the desert, blowing up yellow sand all over the sky.
Everyone put on goggles and headscarf masks to protect their mouths and noses.
The camels had strong endurance and everyone ran wildly for four or five hours until noon.
An Liman asked everyone to stop and rest, eat some food and water, and let the camels rest.
Professor Chen was old and was out of breath by the camels.
And Ye Yixin was also very weak. Just like motion sickness, her stomach was empty and she only drank a few sips of water and couldn't eat anything.
After resting for a while, An Liman suddenly stood up and shouted: "The wind blew overCome on, don't rest any more! Hu Da bless you, let's run for our lives~!"
Shen Hao looked up and saw a large dark yellow cloud rolling up the horizon.
That was the black sandstorm formed by the storm carrying yellow sand into the sky!
Shen Hao immediately shouted: "Everyone hurry up and get on the camels, let's go!"
The archaeological team dragged their tired bodies and climbed on the camels again, holding the camel's hump tightly and letting the camels carry them to run.
The black sandstorm came quickly, the sky suddenly darkened, the wind raged, and the sand and dust swept across the sky.
Shen Hao's spiritual consciousness enveloped the surroundings, always paying attention to the situation of the archaeological team, especially Professor Chen, who looked like he couldn't even hold the hump.
In a chaos, he fell directly from the camel's back.
Seeing this, Shen Hao immediately urged the camel to Hu Bayi's side: "Old Hu, you lead the team first, Professor Chen has fallen behind, I will go to save him. "
"Ah? What?" Hu Bayi was shocked. Professor Chen was the core of the archaeological team. If he was lost, this archaeological operation would be in vain.
"Master Shen, Professor Chen is in your hands. I will try to let the team wait for you slowly. "Hu Bayi nodded.
Then he urged the camel to catch up with An Liman and asked him to slow down.
But An Liman couldn't care about that at this time. How could he slow down? He was desperate? He just kept urging the camel to speed up.
Shen Hao quickly came to Professor Chen and helped him up. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
Shen Hao directly carried Professor Chen on his back, stepped on the ground, and approached the crowd at a rapid speed.
After crossing a sand dune, they saw that everyone and the camels stopped in place.
The camels lined up, squatted on the ground, buried their heads in the sand, and no matter how An Liman whipped and urged them, they would not move.
Shen Hao quickly carried Professor Chen on his back to meet up with everyone.
"Why don't you leave?" Shen Hao asked.
Hu Bayi shook his head anxiously.
He remembered that An Liman had said before that the camel was waiting to die in this posture.
