According to the original plan, they threw away a lot of useless things. The young masters seemed to be on vacation as they changed into camel adventurers' gear and wore wide-brimmed hats. Zhuo Bufan, on the other hand, did not bring anything and was empty-handed.
On the way, Zhuo Bufan did not speak much. Mo Susu looked at him a few times on the plane and felt that he was very strange. Lop Nor was known as the sea of death. It was a barren desert, but this guy did not prepare anything. Did he really think that they were on vacation?
However, after watching for a while, Mo Susu ignored the strange Zhuo Bufan. She had seen too many people like him who deliberately pretended to be unique to attract girls.
The group stood on the road and stared for a while. Then, two SUVs drove over and stopped in front of them.
A rough man jumped out of the first car. He was wearing a pair of boots and his face was a little red from being exposed to the sun all year round. It was obvious that the people here were very tough. "You must be Mr. Yang, right? Old K asked me to bring you guys there. "
"Hmm, Old K is not coming?" Yang Chenming frowned.
The rough man frowned and sneered. "Do you think this is Chengdu? Old K asking us to bring you guys in is good enough. Hurry up and get in the car."
Hearing his words, Yang Chenming frowned. It was true that his father was the boss of Chengdu, but outside of Chengdu, who would listen to him?
There were two other people in the car. One was skinny and short, wearing a tattered cotton jacket, and the other was tall and sturdy. His hair was shaved, leaving only a small braid at the back. He gave off the feeling that he was all brawn and no brain.
"Monkey, why do you think these people don't want to stay in the big city and come to this place to suffer?" asked the big man dumbly.
Monkey sniffled. "We don't understand the thoughts of city people. They say they are doing some research, but I think they are here to cause trouble. In any case, we get paid to do this."
This time, Old K had said that there was a reward of five thousand yuan.
After everyone got into the car, Professor Yu gave some instructions and continued to study the treasure map.
Yang Chenming and Cao Baichuan were sitting in another off-road vehicle, while Zhuo Bufan, Qiu Jinse, Mo Susu, and Professor Yu were sitting in the rough man's car.
If they drove directly from here to Lop Nor, it would take an hour if they drove fast. On the way, they chatted and learned that the rough and crazy man's nickname was Knife Scar. Knife Scar was on his back, and it was said that he was cut by Ma Bandit when he was a child. The other thin man was nicknamed Monkey, and the last one was called Wood. They were all very vivid.
As for the Old K that they were talking about, he was the middleman in Dunhuang. He was responsible for dealing with all kinds of people and had a complicated network of relationships here. As long as there was money, he would do anything.
"I say, Professor, I'm a rough guy. I don't know what you're doing, but you brought a few soft and tender kids to the depths of the desert. I'm afraid you're really here for a vacation, right?" Knife Scar laughed heartily. Before he got into the car, he noticed that the two beauties kept looking at him through the rearview mirror.
Along the way, Knife Scar talked about all kinds of mysterious legends about Lop Nor. Lop Nor was a very mysterious place in Chidragon. Every year, it attracted tens of thousands of explorers and tour groups from all over the world. However, most of the tourists stayed around the desert and would never enter it.
Lop Nor was also known as the Lost Immortal Lake. It used to be lush with green plants, like a sapphire embedded in the ground. Now, it was completely covered by sand and became a salt crust and desert of the Tarim Basin.
Moreover, there were many explorers who never came out after entering the desert.
"Just half a month ago, I saw a mirage in the desert with my own eyes. That place is too strange." Knife Scar clicked his tongue.
Mo Susu gently bit her thin lips and clasped her hands together. Looking at the retreating Hu Yanglin outside the window, she thought to herself, No matter how difficult it is, I'll definitely find the 'Desert Flower' and save Dad's life.
Zhuo Bufan, on the other hand, kept her eyes closed as if she was resting.
…
Not long after they left, a middle-aged man with a long beard was sitting at a table in a bar in a small town filled with the atmosphere of the northwest border of Dunhuang, gulping down wine and eating meat.
There weren't many people in the bar during the day, but at this time, a man in white with long hair walked in. He was indeed a handsome man with delicate features, but his face always gave off a very sinister feeling.
Behind the young man was an old woman with a stooped back. She was dressed in black and had a strange appearance.
This unknown border town often had strange people visiting, so the owner and bartender of the bar were no longer strange.
"You're Old K," the sinister young man walked to the side of the middle-aged man and asked with a smile.
Old K raised his head and coolly swept a glance over him before lowering his eyes. "I'm Old K. What do you want?"
"I heard that you're known as a know-it-all in Dunhuang. You can find anyone and anything you want?" the young man asked with a smile.
"As long as you can pay the price, there's nothing I, Old K, can't do," Old K sneered.
The young man's face flushed red and he clapped his hands. "Good! I like people who are straightforward. I want the pisces jade pendant."
Hearing these words, Old K's face immediately paled, the wine glass in his hand almost falling to the ground. Wrinkling his brow, he gave the young man a deep look and smiled. "I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't have what you want here. Leave."
"Open the door and do business. I have money. As long as you help me find the pisces jade pendant."
"I don't have it. If you don't scram, don't blame me for being impolite." As soon as Old K finished speaking, the two bartenders and the owner of the bar pulled out three shotguns and aimed them at the young man and the old woman.
The young man narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "If you don't want to do business, then forget it, Grandma Gong."
The old woman snorted coldly. She suddenly raised her palm, and three streaks of black light struck the two bartenders and the boss like cold lightning. The three were instantly sent flying, and soon after, their bodies were entangled by the black fog. Their bodies directly turned into a puddle of black water, emitting a rancid smell.
The young man took out a handkerchief and covered his nose in disgust. "Shall we continue our discussion?"
Old K's heart skipped a beat and his face paled. "You … just who are you people?"
"My name is Aoki. You can call me the fifth young master. Can we leave now?" asked the young man.
"I can take you there, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to find the pisces jade pendant. You should know that it's only a legend," said Old K helplessly.
Aoki sneered but didn't finish his sentence. As soon as they left the bar, the old woman slapped Old K. "If you run, I promise you'll end up just like the people in the bar."
Her voice was hoarse, and it gave people goosebumps.
