When He Qing heard Dong Ziqing's exclamation, He Qing ran over in a hurry, but it was a step too late. He had sunk deep into the sand and disappeared.
Where He Qing was standing at the moment, there was a relatively large sandpit not far in front. The hole under the pit looked very deep, and it was so dark that it was unknown where it led.
Dong Ziqing fell into this hole, and every step might be dangerous. He Qing did not dare to step forward rashly, so he could only stand there and observe the situation.
"What's wrong with Master Dong?!" Seeing that something happened to Master Dong, Lin Haitao and Brother Xing quickly ran over to check.
When they discovered that there was a black hole in front of them and Dong Ziqing was missing, both Lin Haitao and Lin Haitao could not help but widen their eyes and were horrified.
"You two, don't move!" He Qing waved his hands hurriedly, "This place is very dangerous. The sand and stones under your feet are moving. If you are not careful, you may sink like Master Dong!"
Lin Haitao took a breath and said: "Is it possible that there is quicksand here?!"
He Qing nodded and said: "It's possible!"
Brother Xing said in horror: "Quicksand?! That's very scary. It can swallow living people. It's very scary!"
"Brother Qing, what should I do?" Lin Haitao asked anxiously, "Master Dong got stuck in the quicksand. His life may be in danger!"
"He must be rescued!" He Qing said decisively.
"How to save?" Brother Xing said with a bitter smile, "You will fall into the cave just like Master Dong as soon as you get in. You can still see the cave entrance, but when the wind comes, the sand and rocks will flow, and the cave entrance will be blocked.
.You will suffocate to death inside! Don’t underestimate the tiny sand, which is soft when you step on it. But once you are buried in the sand dunes, it will not be easy to get out!"
"But no matter what, we have to find a way to rescue Master Dong. We can't just die without saving him, right?!" He Qing shook his head and said, "No, I have to go down to explore the situation and try my best to rescue Master Dong! Master Dong!"
Then he called Dong Ziqing twice to see if he could determine his direction.
But no sound came from below the cave. Dong Ziqing seemed to have suddenly evaporated in the cave. There was no movement at all.
"Haitao. Ah Xing, you two are on top. Finally, step back. I'm going down to save people." He Qing then greeted.
Lin Haitao said hurriedly: "If you insist on saving him, then let me go down. I will go into the water to test the situation."
"It's better if I go down!" Brother Xing also said hurriedly, rushing down to save people.
He Qing comforted him: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
He had just learned the ins and outs of the treasure through the aura that filled the sky, so he knew much more about the surrounding situation than Lin Haitao and the others.
If there was really a huge danger down there, then he wouldn't risk such a big risk going down there.
After saying that, He Qing jumped into the sand pit without hesitation and carefully groped towards the unknown black hole.
Lin Haitao and Brother Xing stood by the pit, looking at He Qing intently, with worry in their eyes.
After touching the entrance of the cave, He Qing soon entered the cave, and his figure immediately disappeared in front of Lin Haitao and the others.
After stepping into a dark sand cave, He Qing took out a strong flashlight from the small bag he carried with him. With the bright flashlight, he could see clearly that it was like an underground tunnel, completely winding into the distance.
Know where it leads in the end.
"There's no danger here." Standing somewhere close to the cave entrance where the light couldn't reach it, He Qing carefully observed the situation inside the cave. It was very flat here. If Master Dong fell from the top, it would be very dangerous.
He could only have fallen to this place, but he was not seen at the moment, which means that he was not seriously injured when he fell, and he may have walked forward along the tunnel.
"Master Dong must have gone ahead to investigate the situation." He Qing thought to himself.
Lin Haitao and others did not understand Dong Ziqing's abnormal reaction when he saw this place, but He Qing could understand it because he knew the true situation of this place.
Dong Ziqing did not lead the wrong way. The place he remembered was the ruins of an ancient city. However, the ruins here were now very different from those he had seen before and had undergone tremendous changes.
"Master Dong should have traveled through time thirty years ago." He Qing thought to himself, "The first time he saw that ancient city was thirty years ago, and now it is thirty years later.
This desert has undergone more than thirty years of changes, and the ancient city ruins have been covered layer by layer with sand and stones!"
He was not sure before. He didn't know who among them and Dong Ziqing entered the time tunnel and traveled through it. Now he is basically sure that it was not them who entered the chaotic time and space, but Dong Ziqing.
"Master Dong!" After thinking for a moment, He Qing opened his mouth and shouted several times.
But still no reply was heard from Dong Ziqing, only a rumbling echo came.
"Go and have a look in front. He must have gone exploring in the cave in front. Maybe he has made a great discovery!" He Qing thought.
Then he slowly moved forward to explore.
It was winding and winding, I don’t know how long it took.
"ah!"
He Qing suddenly exclaimed.
Because he found a pair of white corpses not far in front of him.
The skeleton was so complete that it looked like an adult's.
"How come there are human bones here?" He Qing couldn't help but wonder secretly.
Now he became bolder, took a few steps forward, and shined a flashlight on the skeleton to examine it carefully.
"No way?!" It didn't matter. After looking at it, He Qing couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"Master Dong, it's the skeleton of Master Dong!"
He recognized that the skeleton was not that of anyone else, but that of Master Dong.
That's right, it's the bones left behind by Dong Ziqing, who was with them just now!
Although the flesh and blood has turned and the clothes on the bones have rotted and cannot be seen clearly, He Qing can recognize the watch on the hand bones. The watch is made of iron and will not decay even after hundreds or thousands of years.
disappear, or rust at most.
Although it is possible that the deceased and Dong Ziqing were wearing the same watch, judging from the size and height of the skeleton, it matched Dong Ziqing's body shape, so the person who died here and left his bones was him, and it would not be such a coincidence that it was with Dong Ziqing.
He was dressed like a man of the same stature.
"It turns out that Master Dong died here thirty years ago!" He Qing sighed to himself.
Dong Ziqing was lost in time and space, but finally returned to his own time and space, and died somewhere in the ruins of the ancient city.
"Where is the place ahead?" After observing the surroundings again, He Qing took a step forward and continued to explore forward.
The tunnel ahead became narrower and narrower, and finally the road ahead was blocked and there was no way out.
He Qing could only turn around and walk back.
Not long after, he climbed out of the sand pit.
"Brother Qing, where is Master Dong?"
Seeing that He Qing was the only one coming out, Lin Haitao and Brother Xing looked at each other and were both surprised.
"Is something going to happen to Master Dong?" Brother Xing couldn't help but ask.
He Qing nodded solemnly and replied: "Yes, something happened to him."
"Did it fall, or was it buried in the sand?" Lin Haitao asked anxiously.
He Qing shook his head and said: "None of them."
"What is that? What happened to Master Dong?" Lin Haitao and Lin Haitao were puzzled and full of doubts.
He Qing said truthfully: "Master Dong is dead, but he didn't die just now, but he died a long time ago. He died in the cave below. I just saw his bones. Judging from the characteristics of the bones,
, has been dead for at least twenty or thirty years, that is to say, he passed away thirty years ago. He unfortunately passed away not long after getting separated from their geological exploration team. I guess he died of thirst, no.
Like falling to death or being buried in sand and suffocated to death."
"Ah?! No way?!" Hearing this, Lin Haitao and Brother Qing were both shocked.
Lin Haitao said in surprise: "Master Dong...he was still here just now. He came with us. How could it be?!"
He Qing said in a deep voice: "But that's the truth. He got lost in the time tunnel, and maybe he finally returned to the time and space thirty years ago. In that time and space, he met no one, and no one gave him water or food.
How long do you think he can survive in such a desert environment?"
"It won't last long!" Lin Haitao nodded heavily, "It's just that this is too unbelievable, isn't it?! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it!"
He Qing said: "Yes, this cannot be explained, but no matter what, Master Dong helped us a lot and gave us a lot of advice."
"He didn't give us any advice, did he?" Lin Haitao smiled bitterly, "We didn't see anything. There are no ancient city ruins here at all."
Brother Xing also said: "Not to mention the ruins of an ancient city, there are no traces of ancient tombs. Brother, let's hurry up and leave this place as soon as possible. It feels like the weather is changing soon. This is not like the weather outside the desert.
It changes, and it changes greatly. If there is a sandstorm, we may be in danger."
He Qing shook his head heavily and said with a smile: "You don't understand. This place is a huge treasure house. Master Dong is absolutely right, and he only got a glimpse of the real ruins."
Haven’t seen it yet!”
"What do you say?!" Lin Haitao asked hurriedly. He and Brother Xing didn't understand him at all.
He Qing did not answer immediately, but turned around and looked around.
At this moment, they heard a rustle from the side where they parked, as if a motorcade was approaching.
"Not good!" Hearing the sound, Lin Haitao exclaimed, "Brother Qing, it seems someone is coming!"
"Someone is coming?!" He Qing said in surprise.
He immediately turned his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Sure enough, I saw several cars speeding towards this direction.
"Haitao, let's go back quickly!" He Qing frowned, secretly feeling something was wrong.
He immediately raised his hands and ran towards the parking place first.
Lin Haitao and Brother Xing followed closely behind.
But it was too late to get in the car.
Those cars arrived so quickly that they dispersed immediately, surrounding He Qing and their cars. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
