The group of people started on their way overnight, following the marks left by Long Kui in pursuit of his footsteps.
Everyone is very uneasy.
It can be seen from the red eyes of the Desert Wolf that we have been discovered by Tong Qiu and the others.
It may not be safe for us to follow their footsteps.
Maybe they have set a trap somewhere.
Waiting for our entry.
After walking for about half an hour, Long Kui drove the camel back with a solemn look on his face.
Ye Baldzi stood aside and listened to Long Kui's narration, and then his expression became less good.
"What's going on" "Long Kui said that a group of people is coming in our direction."
Ye Tuzi said.
"I know grandma, they first used sand wolves to consume our physical strength, and now they are sending a team of well-equipped people over.
We have no power to resist at all," Datou said.
"I think things may not be that simple.
With Erha here, even if they send a small team over, it won't be enough.
They won't be so stupid," I said.
With Tong Qiu and Cordier's IQs, they shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, unless they didn't come to find us, but some clues were pulled down, and they had to go back and look for them.
"How far are they from us?"
I asked.
"About ten miles away, that group of people is also coming in this direction."
Ye Baldzi said.
At this time, Long Kui danced and said something again.
Ye Baldzi said with a surprised expression: "Do you think they are coming in our direction to look for something?"
Long Kui nodded, and then gestured with his hands, as if to say, they were holding some instruments in their hands, looking at the ground, and at the same time they were coming in our direction.
"As expected, they must have discovered something.
They are exploring a large area of the desert.
They are not targeting us."
I said, then looked at the darkness in the distance and said: "They had already given up on us at that time, even if they were It is expected that we will come back again, and they will not do anything to us.
After all, time is precious in this dangerous desert.
They have already made plans to lose my body.
They must have thought of other ways. ” "Let's go over and take a look."
Grandpa suddenly became interested.
They are detecting the desert, which means that they are probably close to the destination they are looking for, or there is something in the desert that is worth looking for.
Several people sneaked all the way in the dark night, moving in the direction of Cordier and others.
The distance of ten miles is not short, but it also took about an hour to walk.
By the time we reached the place Long Kui mentioned, the people had dispersed and nothing could be seen, only the messy ground.
Footprints and some discarded equipment.
"They seem to have left."
Datou said after looking around.
"Look at the ground of this dune," Captain Xie said, pointing to the slightly flat dune.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the dune floor in this area was full of sand pits.
Hundreds of sand pits filled a one-mile radius with holes.
"They are indeed digging something.
Let's look around these sand pits to see if there are any clues."
Captain Xie said.
Then everyone spread out and observed the sandpit one by one.

I wondered why they suddenly stopped to dig up something on the way.
Could it be that there was something in the sand worth their effort?
I approached a sand pit and observed it carefully.
The sand pit was dug more than three meters deep, and there was a shovel left next to it.
The sand was loose and easy to dig.
After three meters, there was no further digging, like Didn't find what I was looking for.
After reading this, I looked towards the next one.
It was still more than three meters deep.
They did not dig below three meters.
They seemed to only dig three meters.
If there is something, there is it, and if there is not, there is nothing.
I looked at several sand pits in a row and they were like this.
On average, each one was about three meters deep.
"Have you noticed?"
I shouted to the others.
"No, it's all sand pits more than three meters deep," Ye Baldzi shouted.
This is strange.
Why are the holes dug so evenly?
What are they looking for?
I have never heard that treasures are dug underground according to a certain depth.
Could it be that treasures can only be found within three meters of depth?
Just when he was thinking wildly, Ming Bao suddenly shouted: "Come and take a look at this sand pit."
The Dark Leopard was at the edge of all the sand pits.
At this time, his face was a little pale, and he seemed to have seen something unbelievable.
I walked in and took a look and found that the sand pit was dug quite deep, probably about ten meters deep, and there were some plants on the inner edge of the sand pit, such as rattan stems and the like.
At first glance, everyone thought it was something special.
Only this bunker was deeper and a little different from the other bunkers.
There were actually some plants like rattan stems in it.
"Why is there a cane here?
There isn't even a tree nearby."
Big Head said.
There are indeed no plants at all in the desert we are in.
The sky is filled with yellow sand, spreading from the ground to the end of the dark sky.
There are no dead trees, not even grass.
Looking into the sand pit with a flashlight, I found that there were tentacles and the like on the outer layer of these plants, with some tiny thorns on them, leading deeper along the inner wall of the sand pit.
"There's nothing strange about this.
This desert is a mobile desert.
You don't know how much vegetation is buried by sand and dust every day.
It's normal for there to be plants under the sand."
Ye Tuzi said.
What Ye Tuzi said made sense, but why did the people of Cordier dig these sand pits, and only this one dug the deepest.
"Could it be that the place they are looking for needs to use underground plants to detect the direction?
It is probably the Sea of Death.
Didn't Su Ye say that the Sea of Death is actually an oasis?
There are a lot of vegetation.

They must want to go there.
These plants are used underground to determine the location of the Sea of Death," Datou said speculatively.
"It makes some sense, but it's not absolute.
I'll go down and see what these plants are.
You guys can help me pull the rope," Captain Xie said.
Then he tied the rope to his body and jumped directly into the bottom of the sand pit.
The sand pit was not very big.
Captain Xie had two hands and two feet that were enough to support his falling body.
Captain Xie soon arrived in front of several tree stems, holding a flashlight and carefully inspecting the tentacles on the rattan.
But at this moment, those vines started to grow crazily, from slowly squirming at the beginning to growing crazily, and bound towards Captain Xie's body.
"Damn it, this rattan can move," Datou said in shock
