After dark, everyone sat around the campfire.
Professor Chen explained the relevant knowledge of Gumo Kingdom to his students.
"Gumo Kingdom was considered a relatively powerful one in the Shu Kingdom, which was an elite country at that time."
"The tomb of Prince Gumo we discovered today has extremely high archaeological value!"
·······Nei skirt: ⒉······
"The research on Jingjue culture and that period of history is of breakthrough significance!" Professor Chen said looking at everyone.
After speaking, Professor Chen looked at Lao Hu.
"Comrade Xiao Hu, thanks to you, we can know that there will be a sacrificial hall under this well. Under the hall, we can find this incredible prince's tomb again!" Professor Chen said happily.
He has studied the culture of the Western Regions all his life.
Today is the most rewarding time.
If it wasn't for Comrade Xiao Hu, they would never have discovered that there would be a sacrificial hall underground!It is even more impossible to find the tomb of Prince Gumo under the sacrificial hall.
It is even more impossible to find the murals in the prince's tomb, and it is impossible to confirm the real existence of the ancient city of Jingjue.

"Thanks, we have to thank Mr. An Liman first. With him, we can live and have this kind of unexpected harvest." Old Hu pointed to An Liman and said.
"That's right! Thank you, old brother. It's really hard work for you!" Professor Chen thanked An Liman who was not far away.
"Hey~ After drinking mare's milk wine, we are brothers now. You're welcome." An Liman said.
"Friends~" Old Hu raised his glass to An Liman.
"Friend~friend~."
"Leader Hu, let's strike while the iron is hot and set off early tomorrow morning." Professor Chen looked at Lao Hu again.
"Yes! According to our previous research, the geographic distance between Gumo Kingdom and Jingjue Kingdom is not far away. The mural and this notebook that we found now are the best evidence for our research!"
"We should take advantage of the victory!" Professor Hao said excitedly.
"Yes, teacher." The other archaeologists had the same idea.
They also want to see the legendary ancient country of Jingjue sooner.
"Hey~ what's the matter? Are you going to move forward?" An Li looked at everyone in puzzlement.
"Yes!" Professor Hao nodded in affirmation.
"It's too dangerous, it will kill you! Now is the wind season, the wind season!" An Liman emphasized.
"Brother, you can't be joking. We have worked so hard and we are about to find the ancient city of Jingjue. We must not give up." Professor Chen looked at An Liman and said.
"Yes, please help us!" Beg.
462. Are you still peeing now?Keep it! (Please subscribe!)
"Master An Liman, please help us!!"
"Hey, don't talk~! Don't talk~!" An Liman waved his hands repeatedly.
"I really don't know about the Jingjue ancient city you mentioned. I just heard it from others, but no one has ever seen it."
"Now, we have reached the depths of the Black Desert, and there will be no way to go any further!"
"Drinking water is a very big problem!!" An Liman looked at everyone very seriously.
It is really dangerous in the desert.
He is not familiar with the road ahead, if it really reaches the point where there is no water, everyone will be finished.
"The old man is right." Lao Hu affirmed An Liman's statement.
"Look, we lost some water bags and buckets before. If we go forward, the water we can bring must be much less than before."
"So we "[-]" can't go blindly!" Lao Hu looked at Professor Chen and Shirley Yang and said.
He is also very interested in the exquisite ancient city.
But the premise is that everyone must ensure their own safety first.
If there is really no water in the end, it is impossible to continue running around in the desert.
Treasures are important, but everyone's lives are more important.
Money means nothing if you can't live.
"We will not go blindly." Shirley Yang said while holding the notebook.
"This notebook says that the expedition is heading in the direction of the Zidu dark river."
"First went to the Zagrama Valley, and finally found the ancient city of Jingjue." Shirley Yang looked at the notebook and said.
"Shirley." Professor Chen reached out and asked for the notebook.
"And before they found the ancient city of Jingjue, they also discovered many stone tombs."
"They planned to dig when they came back, so they drew a very detailed road map." Shirley Yang handed the notebook to Professor Chen, pointing to one of the hand-drawn maps.
"But we don't know whether the scale of this roadmap is accurate." Professor Chen said with some concern.
"Mr. Walter is a well-known explorer, and the deviation should not be too big for basic work like drawing." Shirley Yang is very sure.
"If this is the case, we are really close to the ancient city of Jingjue! Brother, take a look!!" Professor Chen quickly handed the notebook in his hand to An Liman.
An Liman waved his hands repeatedly, but didn't pick up the notebook.
"I know that you can find Mount Zagrama by walking along the Zidu dark river."
"But, how long and how far will it take to walk from our place? I'm not sure!" An Liman still wanted the archaeological team to give up.
Going forward, he is really not sure.
If he was really trapped in the desert and there was no water at that time, he might lose his old life.
It's best to return it now and get your own commission.
"Although it is impossible to pinpoint the exact location, the general direction is not wrong." Shirley Yang's attitude was very firm.
In order to lift the curse on her body, she ran all the way from the country of America to this vast desert.
If he couldn't lift the curse, he probably could live for another ten years or so.
By the age of 40, the body will go from bad to worse, and finally die from lack of oxygen.
Seeing that Xue Liyang was so persistent, An Liman had no choice.
I can only take the notebook and study the hand-drawn map.
In the evening, everyone rested one after another.
Early the next morning, everyone dismantled the tents, packed up their things, filled all the water containers, and prepared to go.
"Chu Jian! Is the water installed?"
"Don't worry! I've installed everything I can!"
"it is good."
"Fatty, how's the packing going? We're about to set off." Old Hu looked at Fatty and asked.
"It's all good," said the fat man.
"What about you, old king?"
"I've already packed it up."
"Look at that old man!" The fat man pointed to An Liman not far away.
An Liman knelt in front of the well to pray again.
"Let him pray. This well has indeed saved the life of the big guy." Wang Xuewen looked at the fat man and said.
"That's right." The fat man thought for a while, and it was true.
After An Liman finished praying, everyone started on the road again and continued to go deep into the Black Desert.
It will take another few days to go.
Either the sun is hot and the sun is high, or the wind and sand are blowing non-stop.
The big guy can be said to have suffered from the desert.
But no one gave up.
The members of the archaeological team were all thinking about finding the Jingjue ancient city.
An Liman had to continue to lead everyone forward because of money.
After all, he is the guide hired by the archaeological team...
Lao Hu and Fatty also persisted, as long as there is still water, they will not panic.
The crowd walked for a day against the wind and sand, and in the evening, they stopped to build a sand wall to block the wind and sand, and prepared to camp and rest.
"The wind has been blowing for a whole day, when will it stop!" the fat man said speechlessly.
"Oh, it's the windy season, that's what it looks like." An Liman, who was lighting a fire beside him, said.
"The scary place in the Black Desert is not the quicksand that traps people, nor the ants that chew people up, nor the black sandstorm."
"It is said that there is a dreamland deep in the desert. When people enter, they will see rivers, lakes, beauties and beasts."
"But until they die of thirst and exhaustion, they can't go."
"Because those are traps set by the devil to lure them to die there!" An Liman warned everyone.
"He was talking about a mirage in the desert, and it is indeed easy to be confused for people with dehydration." Shirley Yang explained to everyone.
However, the members of the archaeological team are all highly educated talents, and there is no need for Shirley Yang to explain what is going on with the mirage.
emmm... except for the fat man.
"What is dehydration?" The fat man looked at Lao Hu and Wang Xuewen and asked curiously.
