However, Luo Dong'er was the only one left in Xinglin Hall. Mr. A must have wanted to move towards Luo Dong'er but did not dare to.
After all, this is the only one left! If Luo Donger dies, Lin Chen will probably never go back in his life.
"Dr. Lin Chen, why are you laughing?"
Doctor Bird's Beak was still leading the way. When he turned around and saw Lin Chen smiling, he couldn't help but wonder.
"Nothing, by the way, there's still enough water!"
Lin Chen asked.
"Only half a pot is left, and there was a sandstorm yesterday. We got lost and couldn't find the two holy mountains mentioned in the diary!"
Dr. Birdbill sighed.
Lin Chen frowned after hearing this. Even if both of them are strong and can persist without drinking water for a long time, it will only be a week at most! "Can you find our location on the map?"
Lin Chen asked.
"Let me see!"
Doctor Beak took out the map and looked at it: "A few days ago, we were in the Gangla River Valley and continued walking south for two days. Then we encountered a sandstorm and the direction shifted. We are now at about this location!"
"How far is Lop Nur from here?"
Lin Chen asked again.
"At our speed, as long as we don't encounter sandstorms, it will take about seven days!"
Doctor Beak speculated on the map.
"Let's set off for Lop Nur!"
Lin Chen said: "Mr. Darren has been to Lop Nur. Maybe he can find some clues there!"
Doctor Beak nodded immediately, and the two of them continued on their way.
At the beginning, this place will give people the feeling of majesty and boundless desert.
But after walking for a long time, a feeling of boredom and loneliness came over me.
After all, everything you look at is yellow sand, and the scenery is exactly the same. Coupled with the scorching sun and lack of water, it makes people feel upset.
The two started chatting, talking about global technology.
"Have you met Dr. Luke?"
Lin Chen asked.
Doctor Beak shook his head: "Dr. Luke is the most important figure in science and technology in the world, and ordinary people cannot see him. I have worked with him on missions, but I have only heard his voice!"
"Dr. Luke is very good at medicine, biology, and technology!"
Lin Chen has always been curious about Dr. Luke.
"Awesome. He is like an alien. He has mastered the most advanced technology in all major fields in the world. Moreover, he is very strange. He never sleeps and works twenty-two hours a day. Sometimes I wonder if he is human.
!”
Dr. Birdbill said.
"This guy is indeed a freak!"
Lin Chen nodded and looked into the distance. An ancient stone house appeared in front of him.
"There's something over there, let's go and take a look!"
He quickened his pace, and before he reached the stone house, he saw a well sitting in front of the stone house. When he got closer, he could see that the ancient well was dry.
"Someone must have lived here, and it's been a long time ago!"
Lin Chen frowned slightly.
"Although the well is dry, there is a huge underground river under the desert. I want to keep digging, and I should be able to see water!"
Dr. Birdbill suggested.
Lin Chen nodded, and then he and Dr. Bird's Beak jumped into the ancient well and dug out the sand at the bottom of the well.
After an hour like this, the sand began to become wet.
"have water!"
Both of them were overjoyed. After all, they had been short of water for a long time! But they did not stop and continued digging until they dug more than one meter deep and finally stopped.
I saw water slowly gushing out from the bottom of the well, but very slowly.
"Let's rest here tonight. I think there will be a lot of water tomorrow!"
Lin Chen suggested, and then climbed out of the deep well with Dr. Birdbill, and even covered the mouth of the well with a cloth to prevent the strong wind at night from blowing the sand and submerging the newly dug hole.
The two then entered the stone house and saw that most of the stone house had been submerged in sand.
Doctor Bird's Beak suddenly shouted: "This house is supposed to have two floors, but it has been flooded by sand all year round, and the first floor is gone!"
Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "You're right, after all, the ancient well is much shorter than here!"
The two looked around, then ate some dry food and rested on the spot.
The desert became much colder at night, but both of them had strength and were not greatly affected.
The night was long and passed slowly. In the second half of the night, Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes and whispered: "Doctor Beak, did you hear the sound?"
Doctor Bird's Beak was half asleep. After hearing Lin Chen's words, he chanted them carefully.
At first, he just heard the howling cold wind, but gradually he realized something was wrong.
"It seems like something is approaching!"
Doctor Pacifier immediately stood up and looked outside through the window.
But there was no moonlight tonight, and it was pitch black outside. As a last resort, he had to take out his flashlight and shine it, but he didn't find anything.
"It's not from outside, it's from underground!"
Lin Chen frowned, stared in one direction, and took out a flashlight to shine.
I saw a lot of sand in the area illuminated by the flashlight. It was calm at first, but gradually the sand started to squirm, and then, a skeletal arm appeared, like a skeleton crawling out of the ground.
Doctor Bird's Beak's face changed drastically: "This!"
"Don't make a sound!"
Lin Chen reminded in a low voice and continued to shine the flashlight.
He felt a little strange. After all, he had checked with his spiritual consciousness and found that the skeleton was a dry skeleton, with no life or resentment at all.
At this time, some black liquid gushes out from under the skull, very quickly, and more and more! "No, it's ants!"
Lin Chen finally discovered something.
It is estimated that the skeleton was buried under the sand, but when the ants crawled out, they pushed the skeleton up, which gave people the illusion that the skeleton and white bones crawled out of the desert.
"Ant?"
Doctor Beak also discovered something. What surprised him was that these ants were something he had never seen before.
Each one has the size of a thumb and moves quickly.
"careful!"
Suddenly, Lin Chen pulled Doctor Birdbill over and saw that where he had just been standing, a large number of ants sprayed out black liquid and fell on the ground, corroding everything.
Even the sand has been corroded.
"leave here!"
Lin Chen didn't even think about it, so he jumped out of the window and left with Doctor Bird's Beak.
At the same time, the ants crawling out began to spray black liquid, which was densely packed and extremely terrifying.
"Doctor Beak, go collect the water and be quick, I'll stop these ants!"
He wanted to leave, but thinking that he might not be able to reach Lop Nur without water, Lin Chen had no choice but to take the risk! Dr. Bird's Beak immediately packed his luggage, found the bag with water, and jumped into the ancient well.
And half-phoenix flame appeared on Lin Chen's arm, touching the ground and forming a wall of fire, blocking the approach of the ants.
At the same time, the stone house also became dark and extremely scary, mainly because there were too many ants. In the blink of an eye, the stone house was flooded, and then they crawled towards Lin Chen.
Phew! In the darkness, a large number of ants sprayed black liquid. Fortunately, they were far away, and all the liquid fell into the flames.
What shocked Lin Chen was that his Half-Phoenix Flame actually dimmed a lot after encountering those liquids.
