The closer they got to the mysterious oasis, the more they saw animal corpses buried in the sand … but there were only animal corpses.
Just like what the Bedouin Adil said, there were few people around here … even if they knew that there was an oasis with plenty of water, they would rather live in a more difficult place.
The more primitive the tribe, the deeper the worship and reverence for the primitive.
Luoqiu and Mr. Ao Tuo stopped talking about the [Gospel of Judas]. Maybe it was because they were getting closer to their destination, everyone gradually became silent, including Arria who looked like he would die if he didn't speak.
"The camel in front can't go any further." Arria suddenly said loudly, "If you go any further, the camel will lose control and throw you to the ground! Don't believe me, otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you when you are thrown off. "
Claudia looked at Boss Luo dubiously, only to see the Boss Luo nodding slightly.
Claudia didn't say anything this time … She actually felt that the camel under her was gradually becoming more and more difficult to control. The camel's desire to move forward was constantly decreasing.
"What is in front of us?" Claudia couldn't help but frown.
"God!" Arria put his hands in front of his chest and bowed toward the oasis in the distance, "We humans shouldn't offend the great God, we will be punished!"
Claudia sneered, "But you have already offended him half a year ago, and now you are doing the same!"
Arria naturally had a twisted theory, he said bluntly, "God won't be too harsh on hardworking people. I am a hardworking person, and I have a heart of respect for God."
"Is this Heavenly God blind?!" Claudia snorted and was about to climb down from the camel … Unexpectedly, the camel under her suddenly became chaotic and started to spin around.
Claudia was indeed thrown off the camel's back. Fortunately, the ground was full of fine sand, so she wasn't injured.
At this time, the camel broke free and quickly ran away from the oasis. Claudia chased for a few steps but couldn't catch up, so she chose to give up and walked back with a gloomy face.
"Why didn't your camel lose control?" After returning, Claudia looked at Luoqiu in surprise!
Since Boss Luo chose to walk with Mr. Ao Tuo, he didn't sit on the camel anymore. He only held the rope tied to the camel … This camel was very obedient at this time, without any sign of losing control.
"Animals will lose control because they feel uneasy and dangerous." Mr. Ao Tuo said at this time, "They are much more sensitive than humans … Creatures like camels, the ability to predict danger in the desert is second to none. This camel probably didn't feel any danger, or it just felt safe."
"Is this a female camel?" Claudia rolled her eyes in annoyance.
At this time, Luoqiu suddenly let go of the rope in his hand and stretched out his hand to pat the camel's body, saying softly, "It's been a long journey. Go find your companions."
This camel seemed to be able to understand him. At this time, it softly neighed twice and ran in the direction of the camel that lost control. But from time to time, it would stop and look back … until it finally disappeared among the sand dunes on the way here.
"You … Why did you let it go! How can we ride it? " Claudia was about to go crazy at this time, "This is the desert, no one from the Animal Protection Association will look for you! People who love animals! "
Boss Luo said, "Since there is only one camel left, then it's not easy for us to ride it, right?"
Claudia opened her mouth and stomped her feet, muttering, "Let's ride it together."
"Stop arguing! Look —! "Arria suddenly stopped the conversation and pointed in front — where the oasis was located in panic!
On the road ahead, at the end of the distorted air due to the heat, a huge swaying building could be vaguely seen in the brownish-green oasis!
The swaying of the building was naturally due to the refraction of the light, but even so, the outline of this huge building could still be seen clearly … Claudia hurriedly took the notebook that Otto had sketched from Boss Luo's hand, and compared it with the building in front of them.
"There really is … a historical site." She calmed down and looked at Boss Luo with a surprised expression, "And it's exactly the same! And … "
At this time, Claudia suddenly looked at Arria and Mr. Otto, sneering, "And the fact proves that you are lying again … Didn't you say that the core temple disappeared? Look at what this is? This is the missing temple that you drew! It's exactly the same! "
Mr. Otto didn't answer at this time, but frowned with a trace of confusion, looking straight at the oasis in front of him.
"Say something, Mr. Liar!" Claudia snorted again.
At this moment, Mr. Otto only glanced at Claudia indifferently. Without saying anything, he walked past the crowd and headed straight for the oasis.
Claudia wanted to stop him, so she pulled hard on the rope that was tied to Mr. Otto … But what she pulled back was only a broken nylon rope!
Mr. Otto's hands that were tied behind his back moved flexibly a few times, and the rope that tied him automatically untied and dropped to the ground.
He still walked forward, but his pace was much faster than when he came, and he looked unusually light.
"He, he … How did he do it? I didn't tie a normal knot! " Claudia pointed at Mr. Otto's back view, which was unbound like a magician's performance. She looked at the new male student in the class in a daze, her face full of astonishment.
Boss Luo just smiled and said casually, "What kind of knot is that?"
Claudia opened her mouth as if she was at a loss … She shook her head, "It's nothing … Ao Tuo is weird everywhere. We have to follow him closely so that he won't do anything in secret … So far, he's the only person we've found who knows what happened to my father when he was researching the ancient ruins. I don't believe what he said about losing his memory at all."
As she said, Claudia even took out her mobile phone, turned on the camera mode, and quickly chased after him with a gun. It seemed that she wanted to record everything.
At this time, Arria imitated Otto, and twisted his wrist a few times … but the knot was getting tighter and tighter, and it was so painful that he was about to cry.
He attracted Boss Luo's gaze, and finally could only smile embarrassedly, lowering his head and walking silently.
The distance between them and the mysterious ancient ruins was shortening little by little … They even reached the periphery of the oasis without any accidents on the way.
Mr. Ao Tuo, who had been walking at the front, finally stopped at this moment … Standing outside the oasis, Mr. Ao Tuo raised his head and looked at everything inside. He suddenly said in a low voice, "I have been to this place … more than once."
But no one heard him say this.
Claudia who finally caught up, because Mr. Otto finally stopped here, she didn't expect that Mr. Otto, who stopped, suddenly walked forward and disappeared into the bushes of the oasis in the blink of an eye.
…
It was hard to imagine that in the center of the barren and extremely harsh desert, there could be such a vibrant oasis — the plants here were the juicy type … and there were even fruits — fruit trees that could be seen everywhere.
The harsh environment was scorching hot, but because of the tall plants that could provide shade, there was a rare touch of coolness here.
Even the water … the water was cool, as sweet as the well water.
The partial contrast of the geographical environment made Claudia, a top student who believed in science, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement … Claudia guessed with her half-baked geographical knowledge that there was probably an underground river with abundant water under the oasis, or else it wouldn't be able to grow such a lush oasis.
"Those Bedouin people actually gave up such a good place, it's really unreasonable." Claudia casually picked a bunch of red fruits from a fruit tree, and put them into her mouth, "This is a date palm, eat it without worry, it's not poisonous, and it's very nutritious. Usually, eating a few of them is enough for a day's consumption … mainly sugar."
Boss Luo took two and tasted them, feeling that the flavor was not bad.
"You … what's with your gaze?" Claudia felt that her new classmate's gaze was a little different, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you afraid that I'm lying to you?"
Boss Luo smiled and said, "I've said before, Claudia, you're very powerful, but it's not the time for you to show it … You see, isn't it now?"
She shrugged expressionlessly, but she was somewhat proud in her heart, and even slightly shook her head, as if there was a little innocent girl living in her body.
"Eat what! Hurry up and go! "
The next second, Claudia used the semi-automatic rifle in her hand to knock Arria's head — this desert guide was really hungry at this time, so he tiptoed to bite the fruits on the tree, and started to eat them in big mouthfuls.
Well … a big girl lived here.
…
…
The deeper they went, the denser the plants became, and even to the point where it was difficult to walk … Mr. Otto raised his head and looked at the building in the depths of the dense plants.
There were even many small wounds on his body caused by the sharp leaves. However, these wounds healed in a very short period of time … His face looked old and gray, but the skin under his clothes was very smooth.
"I've been here before … I've been here before … I've been here before."
He kept repeating the same words until he finally pushed aside the last obstacle, completely walked out of the shelter-like plants, and stood in front of a huge temple.
He walked forward until he reached the entrance of this trapezoidal pyramid temple, but was finally blocked by a huge stone door that was completely closed.
Mr. Otto took a deep breath, pressed his palm on this huge stone door, and carefully touched the engraved lines on the stone door — At this moment, the stone door suddenly trembled, and then slowly rose.
He frowned, the rising stone door was connected to a dark passage … as if there was a figure's voice coming from the depths of this passage, it was like a snake's … voice!
The pitch-black tunnel seemed to be a path to the underworld. Mister Ao Tuo suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill … He hesitated for a moment, then finally took a step forward and stepped into the stone door.
"Stop —!"
But at this moment, a loud voice came from behind — it was Claudia's voice!
Mr. Otto who suddenly heard the voice, suddenly shivered — at this moment, he found that he was already soaking wet — at this moment, a large amount of sweat was excreted from his body!
Although he also sweated, because of his physique, the amount was much less than that of ordinary people — such a large amount of sweat, it was only a few times in so many years.
His heart skipped a beat at this moment. Mr. Ao Tuo immediately retracted his footsteps. He could only feel that the faint snake-like voice became louder and louder in his mind … His face suddenly turned pale, and then he felt dizzy.
"What do you want to do?" Claudia who came from behind grabbed Otto's arm, and asked in a low voice, "Are you hiding something … Ah —!"
At this moment, Mr. Otto looked back at Claudia, and at the same time, Claudia saw Mr. Otto's face clearly — She suddenly screamed in horror!
Ao Tuo's face was filled with tiny cracks at this moment … It was as if his entire body was a doll made of clay … His face, his neck, and even his exposed skin were all cracked like a clay doll that had been over-dried!
This horrible appearance was the reason why Claudia screamed instantly.
She instinctively loosened her hand that grabbed Otto's arm … Mr. Otto lost his support at this moment, and directly fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back.
"What happened?"
"I … I don't know, he … he suddenly …" Claudia turned back, looking at Luoqiu who came from behind, and became extremely flustered, "I … I just grabbed him, and he suddenly fell down! He … his appearance has become extremely terrifying … very, very terrifying! "
Hearing this, Arria hurriedly turned Mr. Otto, who had fallen to the ground, over. But at this moment, when he saw Otto's appearance, he was suddenly shocked, and he was so scared that he directly sat up, "This … this … this … this … this? Is there really a God? The God is going to punish us … punish us! "
As he said this, Arria suddenly suddenly crawled on the ground, his whole body trembling, and his mouth kept muttering something unknown — but Luoqiu could tell that this was the dialect of the Bedouin people. It seemed that Arria was the same as Mr. Adil from the small tribe, they were also Bedouin people.
At this time, Boss Luo glanced at the unconscious Otto, and when he was about to carefully examine him, the red Genie hiding in the magic lamp suddenly spoke.
A suppressed voice.
"Inside … there is an evil aura … I can feel a power that is far stronger than me — in this world, there is a power that is stronger than me, the Genie of the Genie of the Genie of the Genie! Quickly go … take me away … the thing inside seems to be waking up! Quickly —! "
In the end, the red Genie's voice became nervous …
