In the past, the desertification in that area was not so serious, and some people on the Silk Road even risked their lives to find the turtles, in order to dig out the turtle incense in their bodies and sell it for money. Turtles live in groups under the sand, and in order not to be discovered, their shells will emit a very strange gas, and after the gas floats out from under the sand, it forms an illusion and confuses people's vision.

Of course, the treasures that Ma Chengfeng came out of the ancient city were all genuine. Because the turtle sleeping place chosen by the turtle is usually regarded as a feng shui treasure land, there is naturally no shortage of large tombs under the feng shui treasure. There are 36 countries in the Western Regions, and the monarchs of each country want to find a feng shui treasure to bury. The Ming utensils they brought back were actually burial objects in the ancient tombs.

As far as the naked eye can see, the dead bodies in the ruins of the ancient city are living sacrifices for the tomb owner.

"Kashula, it's better to be a woman, you and I had better not interfere with the river water!" Chu Tianyue saw that her treacherous plan was discovered, and she didn't want to explain more, anyway, the two women both held each other's little tails, so they tacitly agreed. She patted the camel on the neck and caught up with the caravan in a few steps.

At the front of the camel caravan, Ma Chengfeng was also a little puzzled in his heart, seeing that the dawn was breaking in the east, since they walked out of that dangerous area, the road was very even, and this section of the road seemed to have stopped even the sandstorm. Ma Chengfeng is not stupid, on the contrary, this kid has a heart. If you want to be fooled by him, at least the Taoism like Chu Tianyue and Kashura is still a little shallow.

"Xiao Man, something seems wrong?" He looked back and saw that the two girls hadn't come over yet, so he whispered to Xiaoman.

"What are you saying is wrong? Is this the path we are taking? ”

"More than that! Neither of them is right, hehe...... Harboring a ghost! ”

"Not really, right? Chu Tianyue, it's hard for me to say anything, but Khashula? I don't think she'll hurt us at the very least. Xiao Man still chooses to believe that Khashura has good intentions.

"Anyway, guard against them, especially Chu Tianyue. It's not easy to move mountains, beware of what moths she makes! Ma Chengfeng is still not sure what these two women think in their hearts, he has no choice, this never-ending desert seems to be an endless sea, no one wants to go out after being swallowed by it, here, only follow the guide unconditionally.

And their destination is to find the legendary Gypsy Alda tribe, and there is no more qualified guide than Khashula.

After sunrise, after walking for more than an hour, there was an ancient riverbed in the middle of the sand sea in front of me, but the riverbed had long since dried up, and a poplar forest grew on both sides, and several small animals in the desert were hiding under the poplar trees to peek at this group of intruders.

They have been walking in the desert for two days in a row, and last night because of the unexpected situation and the camels did not rest, everyone was already sleepy and tired. Seeing the greenery, his brothers cheered and jumped.

"Khasilla, where is this?" Ma Chengfeng turned around and asked.

"I didn't lead this road, you better ask Sister Chu." Khajura pointed at her in a strange way.

Chu Tianyue said that this river is called the Selban River, and countless years ago, it was an oasis of life in this desert of death. However, with the wind and sand in recent years, the riverbed has almost dried up, and only some water vapor remains under the sandy soil of the riverbed. In another ten or eight years, the water vapor will also be completely dried up, and it is believed that Taklamakan will truly become a desert of death, and there will be no more life.

The caravan entered the poplar forest on the banks of the Selban River to rest, and everyone took advantage of the short time to get a good night's sleep.

Ma Chengfeng rode a camel across the Selban River and climbed a sand dune in front of him to look out over the terrain. A dazzling golden light shone from the east of the horizon, and he covered the sun, squinting his eyes, and faintly saw a vague ruin of an ancient city at the end of the horizon. This ancient city is surprisingly large, and heavy walls have been built outside the city, and there are still checkpoints on the walls.

On the tower of the city gate, there is a flag, which has long been shattered due to the invasion of wind and sand for so many years. The embroidered pattern is supposed to be an eagle, but only two talons remain.

"Sister Tianyue, where is this?" After Ma Chengfeng went back, he asked Chu Tianyue.

Chu Tianyue said that if we cross the Surban, there should be the remains of the Little Bowl Country in front of us.

"You...... Why did you bring us here? "He didn't look good.

"I'm sorry Cheng Feng, I didn't discuss it with you in advance, but I'm all for everyone's good. The small bowl is located in the Taklamakan Plain, it has convenient transportation, and the wind and sand are small, so we can take a break here. ”

Ma Chengfeng swept Khasula from the corner of his eye, and Khasaila was secretly giving him a look, signaling him not to believe Chu Tianyue's nonsense.

"I'm sorry, I'm the leader of this trip, I have to be responsible for everyone's safety, Xiaowan is not our destination. Khasilla, let's go. Ma Chengfeng shouted and motioned for everyone to continue to follow the direction guided by Kasura.

Kashura smiled and grimaced at Chu Tianyue. "Sister Chu, it seems that your conspiracy has not succeeded?"

The brothers were exhausted, and finally found a desert oasis, but they were really reluctant to move. Everyone sat up lazily from the ground and whispered to each other, as if they were unwilling to obey Ma Chengfeng's orders.

They are not brothers born and died with Ma Chengfeng, they were all brought from the Aoki River by housewarming, and they came to the desert not to go to the soup with you, but to make money! The environment in the Taklamakan is very harsh, everyone is too tired and needs to rest!

"Brother Feng, why don't we go to that ancient city to rest? We have plenty of fresh water, and there are a lot of wild things here, how many brothers will call you to roast and eat in a while? Anyway, there's no hurry? The man at the head said lazily.

With a loud bang, Ma Chengfeng pulled the trigger towards the sky.

"Why don't you put me on a camel and go! Whoever doesn't go, Lao Tzu will reward him with a big iron jujube to eat! I'm not taking you out on vacation! This is not your Aoki River, since you are here, you must obey my orders! He shouted with a shotgun in hand.

Everyone was so frightened that they immediately took the camels and didn't dare to say more, so they hurriedly followed.

"Hmph...... Chu Tianyue, farewell! If you like to go to the small bowl, then go yourself, bye-bye......" Khasira waved at her.

Chu Tianyue sat on the back of a camel with a smile on her face, as if she didn't mind Ma Chengfeng going against her last wishes.

The caravan came out of the ancient banks of the Selban River and continued its search northwest in the direction shown by Khashura.

The ancient riverbed of Serban stretches in the desert, and the greenery of early spring on both sides of the river is full of life.
