Chapter 16 7-Star Dragon Abyss Sword! Guide An Liman
Chapter 16 Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword! Guide An Liman
In a small town in the desert.
A group of archaeological team came here.
Shirley Yang also transported a large amount of supplies from the Lighthouse Country, including a large amount of compressed food, tents and sleeping bags, dust-proof glasses and headbands, as well as firearms and weapons.
This town is closest to Lake Bosten.
Hu Bayi found several locals and asked them if anyone was familiar with the geography of the desert and expressed his desire to hire him as a guide.
"Ah, you want to enter the desert at this time?" The local asked in surprise when he heard that they wanted to enter the desert.
"Yeah, is there any problem?" Hu Bayi asked puzzledly.
"No, this is the windy season. No one dares to enter the desert during this season."
"Fellow villagers, we are from the national archaeological team. We have a mission to enter the desert, and we need a guide."
"Hey, you outsiders just won't listen to advice. If you must go in, you can only find Anliman. Anliman is the only one here who dares to enter the desert during the windy season."
On the recommendation of the fellow villager, the archaeological team came to the place where the old man Anliman lived.
No one remembers Anliman's real name anymore. Everyone calls him 'Anliman', which means a living map in the desert.
Old man Anliman held a pipe in his mouth and shook his head: "No, it's windy season now. If we go into the desert, old man Hu Da will be blamed!"
"Brother, please be flexible. We are from the national archaeological team and we are here for an important mission." Professor Chen stepped forward and showed relevant documents.
However, Anliman still shook his head and refused to do it no matter what.
Finally, Shirley Yang came out.
"Anliman, as long as you come to be our guide, I will pay double the price for all the animals you have here, and as long as you come back from the desert, these camels will still be yours, and the money will also be yours!"
Anliman hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. He knelt on the ground, looking towards the western sky, reciting strange scriptures.
"Old man, what are you doing?" Fatty Wang walked over and asked him puzzledly.
An Liman glanced at him and said, "I am begging for Hu Da's forgiveness. You guys, entering the desert during the windy season will be blamed by Hu Da."
"Hey! Is this Hu Da as powerful as Guanyin Bodhisattva?" the fat man asked with a nonchalant grin.
An Liman's face darkened and he didn't want to pay any attention to him anymore.
"Fat!"
Hu Bayi shouted helplessly.
So everyone put the supplies on the camels.
Anliman also brought a lot of bean cakes and salt. Fatty Wang helped him carry the supplies and asked in confusion, "Old man, is this what we eat in the desert?"
"Well, you can eat them if you want, but Mr. Hu thinks it's better to save these bean cakes and salt for the camels!"
Hu Bayi and Chu Jian, who were standing next to them, burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Fatty Wang was a little embarrassed and couldn't help but said angrily.
……
The supplies they brought this time can last for about a month in the desert, but there is less clean water, only enough for a dozen days. However, they can replenish some water resources at the oasis and underground rivers along the way.
After everything was ready, everyone got on their camels and set off in a mighty procession.
The first leg of the journey is to start from Bosteng Lake and head southwest, walking west along the Peacock River for a distance until finding the ancient river channel heading south.
When they arrived in the desert, they found that it was not easy to walk here.
In the desert, at a glance, there is yellow sand everywhere and it is impossible to tell the specific direction.
There was also the scorching sun in the sky, which kept burning the earth. Everyone was sunburned to the point of being sleepy, with dry mouths, and they almost couldn't help falling off the camels.
At this time, Anliman's role was reflected. He was always able to judge the direction of the Peacock River based on some poplar shrubs on the ground.
In this section of the ancient river channel of the Peacock River, some of the riverbed has not dried up yet. There are countless lakes scattered around, some small fish in the water, and a group of red-billed gulls on the shore.
The archaeological team walked in the southwest direction.
Soon they arrived in the black desert.
According to old man Anliman, a large number of cities and treasures are buried in the Black Desert, but as long as you want to take the treasure out, you will immediately encounter an accident. This is a desert cursed by Hu Da!
"Tsk! What's so great about Hu Da? I, Fatty, am not afraid of him. When I find the treasure, I will take it out and see what Hu Da can do to me." Fatty Wang curled his lips and muttered softly.
"Fatty, what are you mumbling about?"
Hu Bayi showed a suspicious look and asked Fatty Wang.
"Ah...nothing..."
Jiang Hua, who was standing aside, smiled.
He is now a top-level warrior with amazing hearing, so he naturally heard what the fat man said.
He was observing all the way.
Ye Yixin left marks on the ground as usual, secretly guiding the Wang family.
After returning from Chang'an City, Ye Yixin kept coming up to talk to Jiang Hua, eavesdropping on him and asking about what he encountered in the Nine-Storey Demon Tower. Jiang Hua found it a little funny, as his purpose was too obvious.
It seems that the Wang family’s purpose is really to get something inside the Nine-story Demon Tower.
I just don’t know, do they want to take away the Red Dragon Armor and the Dragon Roar Sword, or the jade orb?
The most likely ones are the Red Dragon Armor and the Dragon Roar Sword.
Although the jade beads are precious, they are still far inferior to these two treasures.
Jiang Hua saw it with his golden eyes.
The red dragon armor is made of the scales of a red dragon.
The defensive power is amazing!
There is also the Dragon Roar Sword, which is one of the ten famous swords in ancient times!
It has another name.
Seven Star Dragon Abyss!
Among the ten famous swords in ancient times, it ranks fifth!
Legend has it that looking down at the sword is like climbing a mountain and looking down into the abyss, misty and deep, as if there is a giant dragon lying there.
It's called "Longyuan"!
The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, after shining brightly, soon disappeared from the world. Everyone believed that the sword had been lost and buried in some unknown place.
Unexpectedly, it appeared in the Nine-story Demon Tower and was trapped for more than two thousand years...
……
"Wang family..."
"You want the Red Dragon Armor and the Dragon Roar Sword?"
"What do they want?"
"This belongs to my Jiang family!"
Jiang Hua took a deep breath. It seemed that things were becoming more and more interesting.
Jingjue Ancient City, Wang Family, Jiang Family...
The secret of their Jiang family seems to be very deep!
There is a mysterious relationship between these large tombs.
……
Entered the black desert.
Jiang Hua's biggest impression was that the black desert was barren and lifeless, and he didn't see a single plant along the way.
Before, they could still see some poplar shrubs.
Although the wind and sand kept blowing and the poplar trees were almost flat on the ground, they still did not fall down and stood up stubbornly.
Everyone wore sand-proof glasses and sat on camels, staggering forward. Everyone was tired and had dry mouths.
Suddenly, a red glow appeared in the distant sky, illuminating the clouds on the horizon.
Shirley Yang took down her camera, pressed the shutter, and exclaimed: "The desert is so beautiful, I want to take a picture of it with my camera."
As for the old man Anliman, his eyes showed fear.
He looked at the red clouds in the sky and shouted, "Everyone, run quickly. The desert is going to be windy."
Hu Bayi asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
"Look, the clouds in the sky are bleeding. That means Hu Da is angry. There's going to be a sandstorm in the desert!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
"Old man, don't talk nonsense!" Fatty Wang couldn't help but say.
Jiang Hua was also shocked, but he knew Anliman's abilities better, so he would never speak nonsense. There was really going to be a sandstorm in the desert.
"Fatty, stop talking. I believe in the old man. Let's run now, or we will really be buried alive in the desert."
"Okay, Brother Jiang, I'll listen to you!"
Anliman completely ignored the fat man's words and rode away on the camel.
"Hey, you old man, how dare you abandon us and run away?" Fatty Wang was immediately furious and rushed over.
"Teacher, you guys run quickly, I'll watch from behind." Jiang Hua said to Professor Chen.
Professor Chen felt a little dizzy from the sun. When he heard Jiang Hua's words, he realized the urgency of the matter, so he quickly caught up with the camel caravan and ran forward.
The sandstorm in this desert is simply a disaster!
Once a person is buried, there is basically no possibility of survival. This is not a TV drama. Real natural disasters are often hundreds of times more terrifying than in movies!
Their only way to survive was to hurry and head to the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye ahead.
Among the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye, there is a sheltered place to prevent being buried by wind and sand.
Jiang Hua glanced back and was immediately shocked.
I saw a dark yellow color covering the sky and the earth behind me. The wind was blowing hard, blowing up a lot of sand and dust, forming the most terrible natural disaster in the desert!
Sandstorm!
