"Little fox, are you having nightmares again?"

"No, it's not a dream! It's over, I'm going to die! Woo woo woo ......" Hu Xiaoci lifted the quilt, pointed to his ass and cried.

Chang Xiaoman took a closer look, and there were indeed blood stains on the sheets under Hu Xiaoxi's buttocks, as well as on his trousers.

"Please! This is...... Ouch...... Go, go get my aunt's towel in my bag and put it on! Chang Xiaoman wanted to cry without tears.

Her shouts soon drew everyone in. Ma Chengfeng pushed the door and looked inside, Hu Xiaoci was bare, holding an aunt's towel in his hand, and he was at a loss to gesture. He covered his eyes and had to turn away.

"That's, isn't it?"

"Don't look at indecency! Close the door! Chang Xiaoman scolded.

As spring draws closer, the oil town is thriving again, and scientists and explorers from all over the country are gathering again. But most people just go around the desert and take two photos. Friends also have new activities this month.

Ma Chengfeng had already sent a telegram to Qiao's family in Aokichuan a while ago, and he was planning to open a large hotel in the oil town to entertain these travelers from all over the world. This is a rare business opportunity.

He also made a decision to kill two birds with one stone, intending to use this oil town as a base for everyone for the time being, and in addition, it was not an overnight matter to go deep into the desert to find Zagrama Mountain, which could be used as a transit point to continuously deliver supplies to them.

There is nothing in the world that money can't do, so the housewarming sent a large number of subordinates, and the first thing is to assist Ma Chengfeng and them to invest in building a road from the town to the county seat, which can shorten the supply time. Moreover, the ownership of the highway belongs to them, and they can set up toll booths privately. At that time, where did the country have the money to redevelop this desolate desert, not only did the county leaders raise their hands to agree, but also gave them a lot of subsidies.

A large number of construction workers and engineering equipment were continuously transported from the east, and the town became unprecedentedly prosperous for a while.

Personnel deployment, supply and distribution, and business matters Ma Chengfeng handed over to Chu Xiangyun and Lei Wenwen to take care of. The rest of them focused more on this desert of death.

They bought a lot of maps from the Uyghur villagers living nearby, and also learned a lot about the legend of Queen Ameira.

There are all kinds of indications that Queen Amela did exist in the Western Regions more than a thousand years ago, when the civilization established by Queen Amela almost alongside the Eastern Central Plains, but no one, including archaeologists, has yet been able to explain the mysterious disappearance of this once-prosperous kingdom.

"Cheng Feng, I think we still have to go to find Arda, and find a breakthrough from there, our Alda tribe is the oldest tribe in the Taklamakan tribe, I believe the information you are looking for is there." Khasiura said to him.

Ma Chengfeng asked other people's opinions again, and everyone also felt that what Kashura said was reasonable. Everyone is now strong again, and the supplies are sufficient, and they can set off at any time. Finding the Arda tribe is not as dangerous as the Zagrama Mountains, but it is not a small risk. Don't look at the wind and sand in the desert now, but this dead desert is still a nightmare for explorers.

"Xiangyun, Xiaoli, Hua Bule, Wenwen, the four of you will stay first, take care of the business here, and pay attention to the situation in the east at any time." Ma Chengfeng commanded.

"Huh? Why didn't you take me with you? Cheng Feng, take me there! It's so boring in town! Hu Xiaoci pouted and kept coquettish with Ma Chengfeng.

"That'...... Or ......" Ma Chengfeng looked at Chang Xiaoman, not daring to make decisions without permission, for fear that Xiaoman would be jealous.

"No! Little fox, you are obedient, we will be back in four days at most, you are good, you are not allowed to run around by yourself, otherwise we will not take you anywhere in the future. Chang Xiaoman scolded her.

Xiao Man is not jealous of her, now Hu Xiaoci's skills are exhausted, except for a fox fairy golden pill in his body, he is no different from ordinary people. She is delicate, how can she withstand the wind and sand in the desert? In this desert, death can come at any time, and when the time comes, everyone will have no time to take care of her.

"Oh, okay...... It's so fierce, if you don't go, you won't go! Then you should come back soon! Hu Xiaoci pouted and wanted to fight again, but when he saw Chang Xiaoman's expression, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

With the experience of the last two expeditions, everyone is well prepared this time. They don't need a guide, but be sure to bring plenty of camels to pull supplies. This time they brought ten camels, fresh water alone for ten days, as well as some medicines and solid fuel for the desert.

The four of them embarked on a new expedition again, and the vast desert soon swallowed up the four-person expedition.

Ma Chengfeng and Xiao Man had already walked through the road ahead, and it was relatively easy. However, anything can happen in the desert, especially the quicksand that eats people without spitting out bones. Ma Chengfeng knew for the first time that the quicksand really flowed, the quiet sand on the surface, as long as you stepped on it, the speed of sinking was faster than that of a muddy swamp, even if Ma Chengfeng had a pair of ghost eyes, he could not identify the quicksand pit. Fortunately, the camels they brought with them all have this survival skill, as long as they ride the camels, it is not a big problem not to walk around on their own.

In order to prevent accidents, Ma Chengfeng brought a lot of ropes and tied all ten camels together, even if one of them fell into the quicksand, the other partners could pull it out.

On the first day, the caravan encountered a total of six quicksands, and the losses were not significant, only two bags of water were lost.

The vast desert sea and sky line, people walking here seem insignificant, fortunately they are four people, otherwise I don't know how boring it would be along the way.

"Khashura, did your ancestors live in Alda?" Chu Tianyue asked her.

"Yes, the conditions there are difficult, I remember when I was a child, the water there was already very scarce, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I didn't take a bath when I was a child." Khashura laughed.

"I've heard of it, it wasn't liberated decades ago, when the Taklamakan was in a better situation than it is now, the desertification was not strong, there was a group of British explorers who went deep into the desert, they ran out of fresh water, and they encountered a sandstorm, and they thought they were going to die in the sand, but they didn't think that God would bless them, and they met the Ardagypsies. Later, after they returned to China, they wrote a book for Alda, called "Angels in the Desert", in which you Alda tribe was written about the gods, which made the later British yearn for it, but no matter how many people were sent, they could no longer find the legendary Alda Gypsies. Chu Tianyue is erudite and talented, if she hadn't mentioned this matter, Kashula would have almost forgotten about it.
